A little help? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

hey people i am a new htc touch diamond owner and i am just wondering of theres any mods i should be looking into? thx!

Mods are actually up to you. Some people might not like to have Background on All Tabs, some people do. It's up to you to explore and apply which mods you like.
As for performance mods, you might try to download Advance Config. To mod TF3D, you can download the configurator as well.
Search through the boards, and learn. No spoon feeding here...

Home / Today Screens

Hi,
Hopefully this is an appropriate posting for the "General" section.
I have read a lot online and it seems many HTC users are choosing to make their phone look like an iPhone, odd if thats what you want why not go get an iPhone. However, I do think Apple were on the right track and many of the Home / Today screens on the HTC seem to reflect the "finger scrolling" and smart icons... I guess what I am trying to ask is what ones do people prefer and use currently which bring out the best in their Kaiser ( both portrait and landscape mode).
Cheers
Neil.
you can learn a lot from this thread and the bottom link in my signature.

Cheers
Neil.

You want the cab to make the device look like an iPhone? If so, do a little search for iFonz

Which ROM to get: pleae assist.

hi all
this is going to sound stupid to many of you, but please, give me the time.
i have had the kaiser for a while now and been a member of modaco. but today was the first time i flashed my T2 to 6.1 using H-SPL. (link from modaco, the one with the modaco splash screen). anywho after seeing who easy it was to flash [ thanks hard spl devs ] i wanted to see what other roms there are.
however after browsing this site i just get confused with lots of releses with similar names, like throttle launcer...
i just dont know which to choose.
anywho i was wondering whether some could point me in the direction of a good 6.1 ROM which resemble the HTC diamond interface as much as possible (preferablly actually 6.1, not 6 with a theme, as 6.1 feel's much faster to me) because the diamond interface is much slicker than my current. also i would like it to have as little Non-stock software as possible.
many thanks, sorry for the stupid questions, it's a new world to me.
sorry for any spelling mistakes, ie the one in the title, i cant change that now.
I think you will either get 5 different replies or mods will close your thread... so, why don't you try each and every ones that you think you will like, and keep the one you like the most...
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/
but it's real slow since kaiser don't have any graphic acceleration at all...
is throttle laucher based one 6.1? and what are your experience with?
oh hang is throttle launcher a CAB or a ROM that website you linked want me to download some cabs?
you say that TL is slow, and i am aware theat the T2 is slow as there are no drivers, i have installed the action class drivers will that help?
also mods plaese dont close/delete this, i'm completely serious, i just want some good advice.

Throttle Launcher is just an application, it's not an OS. However some cooks (such as L26) have integrated the program into their ROM. You should go out and try all the ROMs out there and decide which one best fits your needs.
ok, but can you reccomend some, one of my issues is that i cant find, them all, as they are spread all over forum over many pages,
which do you use?
I personally use my own ROM (RevROM v3.33), however the popular ones are Garmin, ROMeOS, and Dutty's (a bit outdated but still popular).

Have a look through the kaiser wiki, there are 2 sections on the page 1 alist of cooked roms the other official releases, all 6.1 Roms are there. clik the xda wiki link at the top of the page!

Slow? Not on my Kaiser with Laurentius last Beta3 V10 ROM + new HTCClassAction's drivers
Definitive Answer... sort of.....
Howdy™
Out of curiosity, what will you be using your T2 for? Multimedia, classic PDA use, IT tool, navigational aide, etc...?
The reason why I ask is because, depending on your answer, there would be several ROMs to consider that carry both the basic functionality, as well as advanced functionality(with the help of additional programs) for each type of use you may want.
So the definitive answer would be, try em all!! Take time to read what each ROM contains or does not contain, as in the case of ROMs marked "Lite" or "No Thrillls". Make sure to read through the threads as well for any potential problem that a particular ROM may be having with a program or any bugs that may be found.

Only thing I would say to that is that you need to do the legwork and hunt down exactly what you are looking for. The forum search is an excellent (as well as the preferred way) of finding those "must have" programs for your T2. Also, check out some of the senior members signatures for links to file sharing sites, as they often host mirrors for popular programs as they become available. This is how I got my T2 to be EXACTLY the way that I wanted it to be.
So there you have it, the definitive answer. I do appologize if this sounds alot like **BEFORE YOU POST START HERE** FAQ, Wiki, Stickies & Tutorials - Suggestions Welcome! , but that was posted for a reason and should be adhered to as everyone here is donating their time and energy, so lets not waste it .

Touch Pro Themes?!

Can we please get a sticky for Touch Pro themes!
All too often I find a theme thats TF3D Config compatable, and it turns out to not have any form of landscape mode whatsoever... It really sucks... The diamond boards have a whole theme thread... how about we get on the train?
I Agree all this endless reading through diamond threads for litle nuggets of info that applys to us is dumb. there should be and htc touch pro theme sticky just for us.
if enough people want to contribute, I can start a thread just for this. Im a tad buisy work/school wise to do ALL the legwork myself, but if we had help gathering data on the GOOD ones for Touch Pros, i think we can just do it ourselves and get a mod to sticky it when it looks useful...
Nevermind, I think instead of trying to find the different themes and get them together, I am going to work on learning how to make them.

rhodium dialer

Has anyone extracted the rhodium dialer into a cab? I want to install on top of my topaz rom as the topaz dialer is buggy as hell
dont expect too much , i have the Rhodium Dailer , its slider is also buggy as hell
Well, I personally couldn't care less if the slider is buggy, perfect or non-existent. But I definitely want the ability to enter contact details directly from the dialer.

You think I havent searched?
Problem is there is no centralised place for all this manila 3 stuff.
All I have found are cab files for the old stock blackstone dialer. Problem is I have flashed a topaz based ROM, but the topaz dialler is very buggy - hence I wish to install Rhodium dialer
why in the ROM developmentt forum? the Q&A forum is the general one. let us watch the ROM threads please.
why bump it 3 times?
sames go for yr other thread "why oh why". i think you got what you asked for. did you add [solved] ? did you said thank you?
it is like we owe you something here and if we don't comply you'll keep bugging us like a spoiled child. and stop complaining if it's possible..please, pretty, pretty please... you complained in the last week or so about fonts, contacts and now..the dialer and i am sure that's not all...buy an iPhone.
please, be sensible to what other ppl want also and obey the rules of the forum.

1) Yes I did say thank you - on the thread
2) Yes I didnt like how HTC changed the fonts in the new manila, they are too large - was I the only one to say this? No. Did you complain when others mentioned this, no.
3) I didnt complain about contacts - I love the new contacts, but the problem is there are inconsistancies in Manila with regards to what links to the new contacts manager.
4) The topaz dialer is buggy - I would like to install the rhodium one. So what? At the moment I have reverted to the default stock dialer, but that doesnt link to the new contacts manager and other functions. Is it so bad to want a cab to be put up for rhodium dialer? No.
5) I am very much a contributor in many ways - just because I dont cook roms, theres no need to show me such disrespect. And I dont see what iPhone has to do with anything.
Can some mod lock this one???
... what a babies around here...

I am amazed that you are trying to defend yourself C'mon dude... don't be like that being a Sr. member. You should have realized what was being pointed out there. Give it a rest. Go to the General forum and try to post your requests there... Probably in a relevant thread.

How about here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524797
If not, you may need to replace another Topaz one, like this:

Creating a custom lock screen?

I am a photoshop user and I would like to learn how to access the HTC Hero lockscreen so I can customize it myself. I want to change the slider bar specifically. Could someone help me learn how to acces the .png files and how to replace the stock ones with the ones I create?
I currently have rooted and loaded Fresh 2.1.2 (props to flipz for the creation). I have tried lockbot, but the free version is not all that great. It still has limits to the customization. I refuse to pay for something I could do myself with a little education. Please help!
I will be happy to post any of my creations for the free use of others if I can get this working.
Thanks for everything!
Good for you wanting to learn to mod the hero...
I think this guide should help answer your questions: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/48610-guide-creating-custom-lockscreens.html
If all else fails try the Android Development forum for our phone and good luck!
cool, thanks for the link. I actually ran across that after I posted my question. I'll see what I can do with that info. I appreciate you helping me out.
