HTC Diamond interface on Shaddow anyone?? - Shadow General

I'm running WM6.1 on my shaddow thanks to ~MY HTC,~ but I love the Daimond interface and I'm hoping I can find it out there somewhere.

i would so donate to one of our talented developers to make/port this over to the shadow... hope someone decides to do it.

I would also be willin to donate!

yeah wouldn't that be great!

I'll try doing it, but I'm almost completely assured that there is no way that will work. Touchscreen phones have something called the Today Screen instead of the Home Screen on the non-touchscreen phones. The two for the most part aren't compatible. It's the same reason why the Sliding Panels haven't been ported to wm6.1 touchscreen phones. You can look up the difference on Microsoft's Windows Mobile site.

I don't think its possible because I read somewhere in a interview the htc diamond has some actual gpu accelerated code in the touchflow 3d home screen so it can't be ported to any earlier version of htc touchscreen phones (aka htc touch) let alone a slow non-touchscreen phone.

yea that makes since, it's fun to play pretend though. Hey thanks for the info nd, and thank you again ND4SPD for the rom(s) you put out. ..outstanding work.

Give this cab a try. it works for me.

The Cube is SOOO USELESS

Its not cool at all, just plain annoying. I have all those damn shortcuts on the today screen! I'm going to see if there's a TouchIT 2.3 around here w/o Cube cuz it sucks ass and just hogs 5MB or RAM that I can't get back without a reset
Bad job HTC, bad job.
Excellent job XDA Devs though! You guys make these phones the funnest toys one could ever have!
Dumb
???
This must be one of the most useless posts out a lot of very bad posts.Could a moderator please close this post
Besides very offensive and rude to ITje it is plain ass stupid; why? Let me explain:
#1 Everybody in this forum using it in a constructive way is doing this in his/her sparetime and they are doing this volentairely!
#2 ITje used his sparetime to cook us a Rom which is WAY better than any MS Rom filled with junk and useless software.
#3 A Rom which is, even with hogging these 5 MB, better then the official one due to the improved stability, improved speed, gained space and additional much needed software.
#4 A rom which is available in several flavours with or without Cube
#5 TouchIT 2.3 is already outdated by version 3 and since today version4 (again in several flavours)
#6 By offending the people who are willing to use their sparetime to provide us with better Rom you will chase them away from cooking so eventually none of them is willing to do anything for anyone.
#7 If it is so annoying > flash your device with the original RUU and stop wining about it.
#8 Want me to go on....?
Please take my advice on this one:
If something like this is bugging you again... use your toilet because we don't need this ****. Take IT, leave it or build one yourselves
^Awww, must be that time of the month for you. I understand, don't worry
everybody is entitled to an oppinion....
But many ppl like the cube.
And as I told you earlier, there will come versions without the cube and only touchflo, but as I also said, I dont have the time right now to cook up the other releases, I have other things to do
. The lite version was just an last minute experiment with ftouchflo, wich I never used before. Didnt have time to test it properly, but if you bother to do a search in development and hacking section of this forum there is a hotfix. and there is also a config tool there somewhere
I can give you link to fix, but config u need to find yourself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338143&highlight=ftouch
^Thanks a lot man. I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way like our friend above did. I meant it as venting at my disappointment at HTC with that Cube, not against you. I really appreciate your work and if you don't do a cubeless 2.3, its fine. Its not like I'm paying for any of this!

Well, I kinda share your arguments, but you know, your words were not well chosen,
but typical itje he luckily takes things lightly and helps out everybody everytime.
Just choose your words wisely next time
Happy new year!
I must say, I think the Cube us very useless too, nice to play with it,
for like 4 times, but after that it's out of real use.
A today screen with integrated Cube, now THAT would be nice. Having different today screens wich you can swap. So still start menu/softkeys.
Any good-ass programmer interested?

hehe admit it, that's funny
but no need for this thread to be opened, that is true
like itje said, its this person's opinion! There are lot more useless posts on this forum. I think this post is very good because it could let the noob firmware flasher on what firmware to pick, with or without the cube.
In my opinion, cube is very useless for general purpose. But very good to show it off to your friends. Trust me it comes very handy when they try to smack talk to you "why you didnt buy the Iphone."
I think in the months to come, we are going to be moving away from the cube and integrating the PointUI interface in the new releases. I love the pointui interface becuase it does more then the cube does. It is aso in the beginnng stages and there are more features and more stable releases to come!
Also, I dont think he meant any disrespect to itje. He just asked if there was a cubeless version of the Touch-it rom.
Yes, I meant no respect. Check the last line of appreciation I typed.
I once tested a program for switching todayscreens - but as in windows xp it is slow....
perhaps someone could put things together.
but like pointui - all is finally redirected to the crappy winmobile software - when wiritng sms or anything else. comming there can be very nice - cube, pointui, spbmobile shell --> but at the end we stop there wehere we could get by pressing - start-programms-messaging

Yeah PointUI is nice, but it needs WAY MORE development,
and it drastically needs skinning options

As Gambit999 said; not well chosen words. Choose well next time and may the force be with you my friend.
I really like the cube and come handy when i am viewing pictures and playing mp3s..
Hi guys,
I've already Windows Mobile 6 in my P4350. There's anyway to install now the "famous" cube?
How to do that? Or do I have to instal the entire ROM Update?
Thanks
Mainly you will get it through Custom ROMs but there is also a new coded standalone version which you can find here.
I have an idea. If you don't like the cube, then don't use it.
I have had a cubed rom for a while... and the only time i ever bring up the cube, is when someone asks about my phone, so I'll show them the stupid little things like HTC Album, and Cube just to show off the whole GUI aspect of it... other than that, I never use any of it.

Maybe someone can work around a flash interface for that, without any hardware 3D as requirement.
Anyway I do agree: it's a great-looking effect for sure.
Cool!
If someone can try and extract it from one of those ROMS, we can test it!!
That looks awesome!
Cheers!
If the HTC Diamon where actually released into the wild!
Come on people it's still not out, stop requesting Roms/Apps until the official release date.
People have extracted the Opera browser already, and there are devices out and about. If someone knows where a ROM dump is...
I think our best bet right now if for someone to create the apps independently. What's on the diamond is the TouchFLO #D app which is all inclusive of messaging, contacts, media, and more.
Just like developers here were able to port the look and feel of the iPhone's coverflow mediaplayer with S2P and also S2U2. It takes time to develop, but in time we will get them.

DREAMS of a better Polaris.

Polaris has potential, I know!
This is my first thread so don't go rough on me.
All this is about an idea, about a dream, about the future.
I wish there could be something we could all do to save our little Polaris's lives from the trash bin.
Wouldn't it be nice!?!
I suggest 5 things!
And i would need some hardcore programmers to be working on this..
Yes, for crying out loud, I am calling for Bepe, Olipro, Vivi, Udk, Pawel062, cmonex, misar, faria, tadzio, pof.. There are a lot of you guys. And really as far as I know you know what you are doing!
I am using Bepe's rom at the moment.. (bepe an update maybe?)
SO!!!!
YEA!!!
THE FOUR MAGICAL THINGS WE ALL NEED:
PROPER Graphics support - Coming in june with the Diamond i suppose.
Or if you are smart enough see how it
works in core player 1.2.4 and take it out.
PROPER Eased up system - I mean roms with all tweaks and tricks
+ make them empty, like totally empty!
PROPER List of applications - To show everything that is available for the
TC, Also more settings availability (up until
how big the application icons must be)
PROPER OVERCLOCK - What no one thought about this one?!?
PROPER Launcher - I have got one in mind, I can try to do it in
flash version, yet i'll need you guys to
program it for pocket PCs out there.
MAYBE THIS THREAD IS NEVER TO BE DISCOVERED
YET I BELIEVE THERE ARE LOADS OF OTHERS WHO
WANT TO START THE SAME THREAD!!!
Drivers+Easy System+Overclock= KILLING COOL EXPERIENCE
All the software choice, will help you decide what you really
want from the device.
I've got ideas.
I need help.
Post me a personal message to get my skype and other stuff.
Update: Changed the fonts.. not so big now..
Lot's of big fonts and requests from someone who doesn't appear to understand much about why his some of these requests can't be fulfilled.
Out of interest tcfanboy, how much cash are you willing to gift to people you've mentioned to do all this work for you?
I am not planning to sell this product, so there is no cash in this for me.
I am just saying i can contribute, i wish others could too..
I just like to have my device working, don't you?
don't be a pessimist.
I'm just tying to help.
If you don't like it, you can ignore it.
Big fonts are there to stand out. But yea i guess they are too big.
I know nothing about programming on a device such as a pocket pocket pc.
But i can program in pascal, delfi, and i am currently getting hold of c++..
I am not a lamer if that's what you are saying. I just need guidance.
Will you be of help?
People here are trying there best taking apart other devices and putting their codes into other. How about a new level?
how about writing the codes ourselves.
Just asking you if there is there a tutorial online? The one every beginner has read.
hey tcfanboy, thanks for the poll, u've got a point here but: u see all this work that the ppc wizes are doing is voluntary and asking them for stuff that they already know abt its not the best idea(my opinion). I'm sure they're doing their best to provide all of us with good roms and various improvements but they're not receiving any help from the company that was supposed to do all this work: HTC !
Anyway, HTC announced that they will release some sort of update in this month or next one for the devices with Q7xxx chips that will provide some sort of fix for the current issues but they didn't specify what exactly will the update do. And its not surprising considering they don't even admit they've got a problem with the video acceleration
I'm definitely looking forward to see your list of requests integrated in a rom and I'm sure sooner or later it will happen. Thanks to every1 working on any improvements!
according to an o2 germany insider at ppc-welt.info, there can not be software driver update, since this is software code on core-level, wich cant be solved by flashing a rom

i might be able to contribue with a ultra lite rom. i know i said i would release a new project rom but i want to mess more with a lite rom so will release a full and lite rom tommorow. if u all dont mind me removing almost everything like camera etc.. i can definatly get something really lite made.

acceleration can be turned on and off at any time. acceleration is nothing more than making dlls that turn on the acceleration and use it. manilla aka touchflo 3D is a example of acceleration in use. if u look at the dependencies of manilla then you will know the dlls needed for acceleration.
Manila runs on a quite different device though
The actual hardware could be disabled in the Polaris-generation through some sort of burning certain areas on the chip (some guy wrote about it in here a couple months ago) to physically destroy certain features. But giving effort to find out if that is the case by disassembling other ROMs is surely not the wrong thing to do! I guess I'll wait for some sort of fix or buy an Xperia if that one happens to arrive first

hey Pawel, if u'll integrate in your rom all the fixes and current improvements that vivi, pdaviet and udK have in their roms, it doesn't matter how lite the rom will be because we can always install on it the applications we want.

I don't know much abt wm platform but working in IT gives me a bit of a tech background and I'm learning fast, please correct me if I'm wrong but I think this video acceleration problem on Polaris is not easily achievable even with the dlls from Diamond because they are built for VGA and TC is using QVGA Right?

This is correct. But then again a driver is a driver and the resolution shouldnt play a role. nVidia drivers work for 1920x1200 as well as they do for some 1024x768 output... It could be different though for fixed resolution devices like our mobile devices are. We'll see, we'll see, or we might switch the hardware manufacturer...

Well.. you should add the program list of the programs in the original rom.
Downloadable links and light description of features.
Yea, I am a demandive person! Someone must be.
Btw, there is an excellent company which makes software with understandable interface. Well.. I did not necesserely buy their products.. But the name is Vito. So this is the interface which should be used. If interested in them ask me I'll provide a free link. I am from russia. It's legal here. )))

QVGA theme on a WVGA Touch HD possible ??

Hi
I'm trying to run this theme on my new HTC Touch HD,
http://www.iphonethemeforppc.com/
and only after purchasing (doh) realised that my Touch HD has a WVGA screen ! Is there any way I can fool the HD into running this theme by tweaking the resolution, or have I wasted my money, as obviously the theme runs in completely the wrong size (tiny icons) on my screen.
Hope there is a way, as I think it's pretty cool app. At least I should be able to run it on my TyTn, but that defeats the object of a new phone
cheers

First off, wrong place to ask this question. Second off, you are a fool for buying that. You can get all that here for free. (Just donate a few bucks for their hard work) Thats where they got it. So you aready wasted your money. I hate people making money on other peoples work. And to finish your question, you cant tweak it. Your wvga resolution is 480x800 and qvga is 240x320. A little reading and researching goes a long way.
Most of that software you bought is free and you can get it here in the screen resolution you want.
Since you had no problem giving money to does retards that almost made A_C give up on releasing is programs you can also donate some to the people that had the hard work of making that possible to us.

well, ahem, thanks for the oso friendly replies A little sarcasm never hurt anyone eh ? Where exactly should I have posted ?
I will donate to whoever enables me to run cool stuff on my HD and who helps along the way. I'm a seasoned user, not a programmer/developer so it's good that there are people out there willing to give a helping hand. So thanks especially go for the links provided.
at least $10 is not a big loss, and I'll do some donating once I'm up and running as I like to share my considerable debt
crikey there are some clever people out there
Thanks a million for helping me out. Donations are on their way. Feel much much better not giving money to Apple
Just feel a bit daft wasting 3 beers on that other site.... nuff said bout that the better.....

REQ: wvga dice

so far i've only seen the diamond cubes application, but the main problem it's not in wvga available.... Can somone point me in the right direction where to look for a dice application in wvga resolution? Preferably using the g-sensor. I use a blackstone, but after searching for a long time...... i've almost given up
There is one. You sure you went and searched? It's called Diamond Dice. I have it on my blackstone.
is that one wvga?
Yeap. It is. You did say you wanted a WVGA version.
could you provide a link? i tried like 3 different versions, they were all vga versions and not wvga
Hmmmm, i have found one........but it seems it generates a lot of pairs of 2....
sorry, dude. not immediately. I'm actually using a netbook, will have to wait for my laptop to get back to dig out the link.
thanks anyways for guiding me in the right direction with the name of the application
At least now i don't need to take real dices with me when going to a frenzy drinking party
The Omnia2 has a nice dice app and is wvga, most of the apps from it have been pulled, I could not find it with a quick search, but I think there is more omnia 2 stuff posted over at ppcgeeks.
lol i searched till i weighed an ounce......... couldn't find anything, only found a few dice.exe and dice2.exe, but they didn't work on the touch HD.....
Saw a few youtube video's of the app, it was impressive indeed
Anyone can help me out in the right direction?
If your interested in the omnia2 dice, it might be worth asking here in the official omnia2 rom dump thread.
hi hi
the thread you mentioned seems dead....
Well Omnia ii is only out in Singapore, with just a few imports in the rest of the world, but I think it is hitting the streets big time on october 6 when Microsoft finally release wm6.5 oficially. Hopefully then interest will rise in the omnia ii and more of it's goodies will wind up on other devices.
nice......... can't wait till that happens..... now also testing midomi..... works great!!!! too bad the menu doesn't work, but the main functionality of identifying music works like a charm!
