Hi guys
Basically i got a used HTC diamond, and the screen is very scratched, when using its not noticable but when u turn the phone off lots of marks are visible.
Is it possible to replace just the 'cover' of the phone? Does this phone have a replacable cover? Because the LCD is fine its just the outer surface cosmetic marks which are annoying me.
2.) Is there a way to get rid of the clock and calender / call history shortcut buttons on the main menue? I can minamize the clock but not get rid of the 3 items? And the icons at the bottom? Are they removable? Iv searched all over
Thanks veery much for any help!!
I don't know about Q1.
But for 2) You can switch off the touchflo3d interface.
Go to settings > Today> Items
Then untick Touchflo3d and select the elements that you do want.
Thanks a lot bro! But i want the touch flow, i just want to get rid of the 'calender' and 'cal history; links right in the middle of the menu....
But its not too big a deal
I really need help with number 1 ^ , can someone advise if i just need the case of the phone? And how would i do it?
Thanks a lot!
Q1) It's a pity a screen protector wasn't used. If not ya just need to replace the protector.
Anyways, you can try ordering a housing from eBay and changing it yourself:

Q2) The call history and calendar are part of the TF3D.. not removable
For Q2, you can use the Diamond TF3D Config tool to customize the TF3D interface. Follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749 and don't forget to thank its creator Sushilange!
Thanks guys

Yea.. thats the housing link U posted.
Housing consists of the chasis of the device which includes the screen.
Screen protector only protects the screen (it's a thin transparent film...) IF you already have a screen protector on it, just change that! Simple.
Thanks bro.
Unfortunatly it dosent have a screen protector otehrwise it would be in better condition >_<
So all i need is the housing ya. With the Diamond, u have to work ur way from the back and disassemble EVERYTHING until you get to the front right? Or can u just pull it out somehow?
Is there a specific place you would recommend to get the chasis?

Hi All,
I hv found out a native way to prevent the sliding problems and the marks caused by the same on the Keypad.
1) As per the instructions on Wiki dissemble your BA
2) Remove the screen, the Speaker and the Buttons(the top 4 extra buttons)
3)Now you have the slider fully exposed.If one looks carefully, then one can noitice tow white coloured plastic locks which are there to lock the slider.
4) Reomve the lock, now the key boad part and the other part on which it slides are seperated.Use a simple transparent insulating Tape and apply on the slider paths.
5) Re Assemble..and here's you have a BA which slides on the smooth inslutaing tape...there by having a nice grip and without creating any sliding marks on it.
I am using this and I am finding it most effective.
I hope, this will help...I rather wonder, howcome HTC forget this part while desigining!!!!!!
Thanks for the tip! And who says that they forgot anything? The ultimate goal for any manufacturer is to get people to buy another unit after a while. If you can use the same unit for several years, they don't make much money on you! :wink:
Nice tuturial. I'm too afraid of disassembling my BA though
Does anyone know how to change the skin of the automated windows lock screen?? the default one is ugly...
+ 1 to that! Anyone?
Organic Lock
I know about a tools named Organic Lock (or something like that)
But I'd like to know if any of you has a more "sweet" lock screen. Some sort of S2U2 but when a "Password".
ya, just a better skin for the windows password would be great i was using omega 1, 1-pass before, but it is not compatible with windows mobile 5 and 6
Nthing this request - that lousy PIN screen has been like that for god knows how many versions of WM, anyone know if its skinnable, etc?
anyone??
Anyone managed to find this file?
Basically i was just hoping to invert the colours so that it is black rather than white.
Come on?
Anyone? Please! It looks so damn awful in comparison to the TouchFLO screens.
I use Sensor lock instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422871
As i could not believe how ugly the default unlock is.
I think there is a slide to unlock app, looking like the iphone one
SensorLock Pin?
Thanks for your reply rscreen but is there a way to pin protect with SensorLock? My main reason for not using SensorLock is that it's OK to lock the buttons but if I leave my Diamond laying around anyone could pick it up and unlock it without the use of a PIN? I'd just like to "theme" the PIN screen.
You could give this one a go:-

Bump please anyone ? Su2u is very ugly and wm lock also
This would be nice
bump!
Anyone have a nicer skin or a way to apply a nicer skin to the default windows pin pad.
I am required to use the pin due to exchange policies so I cant use the other apps.
Any help is much appreciated.

HI all. I am trying to find a rom with the following features.
I was shown a ROM that was running on 6.1 but was told there was a 6.5 version.
The software allowed screens to roll up & down, left & right with the flick of the finger across the screen. When flicking through screens they would shrink in size and appear like a hexagon and rotate until you select a screen.
Please help if you can

Sounds to me that you are looking for the spb mobile shell.
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/
Thank you. It certainly looks like the shell.
Would you know of any other options that would be available without the price tag.

Hi Guys,
The bottom of my screen (about 5mm) has become unresponsive to touch. In previous ROM's I've got around this by adding a navbar to the bottom of the screen which I don't use (as in the soft key buttons).
I've just installed a Sense 5 ROM (InsertCoin) and really like the feel of it, however I can't find any way to get the navbar at the bottom of the screen. Obviously as it's a sense rom, there is nothing in the settings, and I've tried putting qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 into the build.prop file but that has also not worked :/
Does anyone have a solution to this or a way to cut the bottom 5mm of the visible screen? Or even better, a way to get the bottom of the screen working?
Cheers,
Tom

That sounds like a hardware fault so you should contact HTC or your phone supplier

If you're running 4.18.401.2 then you're in the wrong section, this is the One section not the One X.
Go over there and do a search for return to stock, you should find all the info you need.
Hi everyone, i'm a physical keyboard diehard fan. I'm using the keyboard case and it's great. However, I'm having issues with the space bar, which sometimes does not get pressed. In fact, it does not work at all with the tempered glass cover (the space bar, the other keys work).
Peeking under the keyboard i realized the on screen keyboard layout below the physical add on has a really tiny space bar.
This seems to be baked into the touchwiz standard theme, the keyboard is not compatible with other themes. Is there any way I can make this on secreen space bar larger so it gets always pressed? Can I add some material right under the space bar so it omproves "touchability"/contact with the screen?
Thanks

I think its becuase of the tempered glass screen protector. Becuase the glass screen protector has no adhesive on the screen area there is an air gap which is why the keyboard case doesn't work properly, it's what happend to me. I took the tempered glass screen protector off and put a normal tpu based screen protector on and the keyboard case work perfectly now, no skips in the keys which I press. Ohh and for the theme issue which you are talking about, that is none existent for me, I have used many themes on my s7 edge and the keyboard case works perfectly with them. The themes do not change the layout of the onscreen keyboard they just make it look different that's all.
Also if your keyboard isn't at its biggest size you can hold the button on your keyboard the one on the right of the symbol button, after holding it for a second or two it should bring up a popup this is where you click the settings button once you have clicked that you should be in the onscreen keyboard setting, scroll down until you find the keyboard size option and from there you can make the keyboard bigger or smaller according to your preference.

Great! thank you so much. let's make this the (weirdos!) keyboard users thread...
1-themes: you cannot DOWNLOAD the themes with the keyboard attached, but you can download them and use them if you doanload them with the cover removed... however, once I apply the theme (material design flat for instance) and attach the keyboard, i get the message:
KEYBOARD COVER ATTACHED. UNABLE TO APPLY DOWNLOADED THEMES WHILE THE KEYBOARD COVER IS ATTACHED. THE DEFAULT THEME WILL BE APPLIED
so no luck for me.
2-i use a tpu but I had to go through a few, some also made it unable to recognize the lower row (space bar) of the keyboard. I will experiment with the tempered glass plus some paper or something to facilitate its use and will report back.
3-sometimes when the phone comes back from sleep with the keyboard attached in enters a kind of multi window loop which I can only stop by briefly removing the keyboard, has that happened to you?
thanks!
g.
I have not had any of the issue you're experiencing other than the tempered glass one where it would not register the keyboards buttons. But other than that I've just tried the material design theme (normal and dark version) and they work fine I don't get no notifications or information toasts telling me that the theme is uncompatible.
Ohh and by the way this is the screen protector I use: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01CH5RJT0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_udp_apa_DiADxbW8E784N

My Keyboard cover just arrived from korea and my screen doesn't automatically adjust. It''s off by a row. If I have the Keyboard cover on when I launch the phone I can't access the swipe code to open feature. It's a great idea but can't figure out how to make it work.

Did you change the DPI/resolution in the display settings? That could be the reason why (although using it with different display settings seemed to work on custom ROMs based on the official one).
