"Diamond" Digital Clock Install Program?

It seems they are just little number files but they won''t overwrite the existing files that are in the Windows directory.
Anyway I really like the look and wonder if there is a CAB type file that will install and voila, you have the Diamond look digital clock?
Anybody know of such a program?
Or a really simple set of instructions.
I followed the instructions and I can't get it to work.
Or how about a way to get the "Diamond" Digital Clock in to S2U2?
Help... help... help...

Hi Jim,
I was actually looking for quite some time and found a diamond digital clock cab. It was here in XDA but I cant find the thread I found it in (It was in the main hacking and development thread)
I'll just repost the cab file and hope I dont get reemed out. I take NO credit for makng this file what so ever.
I had tried installing it before on my vogue and it wasnt working then I upgraded my rom to 6.1 and figured Id give it a shot and it worked. I dont know if that had anything to do with it. it SHOULD still work in WM6 I just wasnt able to get it to work for some reason.
I think you have to disable HTC home as well too before you install the cab.

Nice find!
When I try to install on 6.1 it says "Installation unsuccessful". Any thoughts?
...Nevermind. For some reason it was copying itself when I put it on the sd card and one of the files was broken.

when you have it running is the clock in h:mm:ss tt format (ie 8:04 pm) or is it in hh:mm:ss tt (08:04 pm) I cant for the life of me get the zero infront of the single digit time (anywhere from 1-9 am or pm). just really erking me thats all. I had only installed this myself last night when I saw this thread asking for it so sort of a coincidence.
Anyway.. yeah let me know how your clock works and if you had to do something to fix it. I went into the regional settings and what not and changed the time format but still didnt change anything even after a reset.

For anyone who's installed the cab I posted and had the same issues I had (the 0 infront of the time (08:43 pm) then heres a quick fix I found in the hacking/development thread in the main forum.
Just copy the file in the zip file to your new HTC Home folder on your phone. Should be /HTCHome, sp right in the phones main directory alone with my documents and program files etc. If when you copy it over to replace the exsiting HH_Home_off. png in the folder it wont work go and disable the HTC Home plugin then copy it. That worked for me. Now I finally have a normal looking clock without always having to have 4 numbers showing.

I just installed and my text messages dont work. any idea?

Installed great! thanx a lot.

Since I installed this I can only select Bakersfield for my weather.
Anyone know a workaround?
Also this plugin severly lags my touch, anyone else?
Thanks.

diamond clock
So does anyone know of a diamond clock that actually flips like the real diamond clock?? All the skins for HTC HC are great but i would love to find something closer to the real deal.

Actually it doesn't lag anymore, but my weather is ONLY Bakersfield.
IS that with everyone else?

I had this same issue... What I had to do was uninstall it.. use the normal HTC home and reselect my city then reload on this updated version. Aparently all you have to do is add the XML of your city somewhere in the registy... I have no idea how so if anyone knows how feel free to let us know.
Since I did the steps above I havnt gone in to "Change city" anymore and it updates my city fine

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked as you said it did. However, when I changed it from Fahrenheit to Celcius thats when it updated to Bakersfield.
I can sort of understand Fahr, but Celcius would be much nicer. I think the benefit outweighs the cost so i'll use canada + fahr . Unless you know how to fix this.

[APP] Call Manila Control by built-in Biotouch.exe

This is not a program, but just registry settings to use the built-in biotouch.exe to call Manila Control in order to toggle between M2D and Today.
Notes:
must install Manila Control to \Windows\ before the attached .cab
the cube no longer works after installing this, but the corresponding processes (i.e. QuickDial.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and APLauncher.exe.exe) may still in your memory unless you replace the .exe by dummy programs or kill the processes.
must backup the original [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] before installing the attached cube, otherwise won't be able to restore the cube.
toggling M2D/Today using softkeys as shown in the demo video is NOT set by the attached .cab

for Nike, Polaris and Vogue, pls refer to attachments of this post.
for Elf, pls see the one provided by dark.angel at post #13

Good idea, I'll try on HD when I'll have it, I hope monday.
Thank you

great idea. Although I've still yet to find a use for a second today screen. lol

is there going to be a version of this for the vogue? it seems neat but im not ballsy enough to install something not meant for my device quite yet.

Vogue uses different registry settings. please try the newly added cap in post #1. pls be prepared for bug-fixing time because i can't test it on my own. for safe, pls do a backup, especially the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] registry key, before installing.
good luck.

surely none of the 3 uploaded version would fit the vga devices.
if you want a try, i guess the Polaris version can be a good start. pls be prepare for the pull-up screen being in 1/4 size.
pls do let me know the testing result and see whether i can find a way to fix it. if it doesn't work at all, pls kindly let me know the following registry key values on your device:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]
"App1"
"Cube1"
"Path11"
thanks for your interest.

Is it possible to use this on HTC Touch (Elf)?
And also I would like to change running program from ManilaControl to any other, for example CommManager.
I've installed reg settings from the Vogue cab (is it right?), and copied original Biotouch.exe and dummy APLauncher.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and QuickDial.exe to the windows dir, created shortcut for biotouch.exe in the windows/startup folder and Soft-reseted my device.
Now when I make touch gesture the screen appears into black and nothing happens.
Is it possible using registry settings to bind touch gesture to run any exe (for example, commmanager.exe)?
Thank you for answers!

sorry i really can't answer your question because i haven't played around with a Jade before and I don't have any friends who have bought one. the main prob is, i don't know the version no. of biotouch shipped with Jade.
if you really want a try,
do a full backup (so that you can hard reset + restore in worst case)
backup/export the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch] registry subtree
try the Polaris version
good luck

Elf's built-in biotouch version is different from Vogue's. pls find the Vogue's version, which should appear in those threads about installing 4-sided cube on Elf

basically yes. the trick is in the "App1" reg key. if the app being called has a visible window and you want to use the swipe-down gesture to hide it (like the original cube), the first part of the key value must be the right class name. otherwise, like the case for Manila Control, simply use a non-exist class name.

I've duplicated my commanager.exe and mui files and renamed them to biotouch.exe and biotouch.exe.mui, so now after the touch gesture commanager is running. It works!
Here is the test cab file, i haven't tested it on a clean device, but it seems to be work. If it doesn't working, post here please.

added a link to the Elf's version by dark.angel to post #1

Hey, Love the snoopy. Is there anyway to take it off however? I't just doesnt go well with my today screen?

though not totally take if off, but editing the registry keys as below can minimize its appearance:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]
"TotalBMP"=dword:00000001
"Cube1"=hex:07,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,0A,C8,C9,CA,CB ,01,01,01,01,01,01
"UpFPS"=dword:0000FFFF
if you want to further cut down the size of the snoopy image that may appear for a short time, you can also change the below key:
(for Nike and Polaris) "Path1"="mc01.brn"
(for Vogue) "Path1"="\Windows\mc01.brn"

Is it possible to call manilla from any program with this gesture fix?
I mean the way I call and close cube by just scrolling tumb up or down.

[APP] HD Weather TAB - v1.3 (Fully Functional)

First off, big thanks to XBoxMod and the guys working on the Full HD Port, sztupy for creating the magnificent LUA tools and patiently answering all my questions while working on the decompiling of the LUA file(s) and 6Fg8 for m9editor which was great for manipulating the mode9 files and graphics.
This is the Weather TAB from the HTC Touch HD. For those that aren't up to doing the full HD conversion, this will only upgrade the Weather TAB without affecting the rest of the phone.

In the last versions of Xmob HD TFL3D all the Weather pictures were correctly resized.
It seems that in this application the pictures (sun, clouds and so on) are still with the wrong size resolution.
Am I wrong?

Yeah, that was one of the issues I mentioned and am trying to resolve. If you leave the Weather Tab and then come back to it, the text becomes visible again. I know, annoying.
To remove, do the following.
Disable TF3D
Restart phone
Uninstall
Enable TF3D

Ey just took a look inside the cab you created and am wondering about all the extra files you put in there is there a reason for the extra qcts and xmls and mode9 and lua files. How did you arrive at this particular file set, let me know maybe I can help, 12

The ones outside the Windows directory are duplicates (already on my phone but maybe not others) or ones that had very minimal changes between the HD and TP. So I've been moving the changed ones in and out of the Windows directory seeing if I can see a change to the Weather app for good or bad.
Near as I can tell, they don't appear to do anything in regards to my phone. But they did pertain the the Weather app. So I wanted to keep them close in case they were needed for the Diamond or a different TP version.
It's was a pain locating all these files and right now I'm again going through everything looking to see if I missed any.

Sense 2.1 messaging in sense 2.5 workaround (semi fix lag)?

TRY AT OWN RISK!!!! I CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS, LOSS OF DATA, ETC!
*EDIT*
For now I just created a Mortscript file doing all these operations. Place it in a folder with the files from the zip in the first post (the following):
1de372cc_manila
3fee37f0_manila
24DBB12A_manila
57a92846_manila
64c98668_manila

345f892c_manila
486d3b1a_manila
0828aea6_manila
3633be96_manila
People_Pages.xml
I commented out some stuff, please check the file for comments. Some registry settings I don't change myself, you can enable them by removing the brackets (#) in front of the corresponding lines.
Use at own risk of course (Mortscript is needed for this...)
*EDIT*
ORIGINAL POST:
Well, because I hated the 2.5 messaging and didn't like the fix of disabling it and going back to windows classic messaging (not being able to tap the sms in the message tab and all) I decided to just give the following a try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5202063#post5202063
For information, using the Topix 0.2 rom at the moment!
What I did was the following:
0. Download the archive file
http://manilavga.googlecode.com/svn...nse_amarullzNoMessagingClient_2.0.0-BETA2.zip
1. Disable sense (Disable it in the today settings)
2. Make a backup of all the files you are going to replace, just in case These are the files in the archive above.
3. Rename/delete the ManilaFull.xml in the windows dir (mentioned in that thread as well).
4. Copy the manilla and xml files from the .zip to the windows folder (in the zip there are a few manila files in subfolders, these are language files it seems and I just put them all in the windows dir, so not in the subfolder).
The PeoplesPages.xml I also copied to the ManillaXML folder in the windows folder.
4b. Extra step! Copy the file found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5203019&postcount=1308
Into the windows folder as well, overwriting the other manila file. This fixes a double-tap not opening the message bug...
5. Enable sense again
6. Restart
7. Add rotation to it using BSB Tweaks
(8). I had the HTC messaging disabler cab installed and uninstalled it afterwards...
I think this was all...
Apart from some expected (it was made for VGA afterall) graphical issues (mainly in landscape mode) it actually seems to work fine!
The messages are divided over different pages now, no lag when loading, etc...
Just tried it now so I might find more issues soon but thought I'd mention it at least in case brave souls want to give it a try
Again, try at own risk!!! Haven't been able to test it extensively!

Any chance of some screenshots? The graphical VGA issues are holding me back from trying it...

Sure
Uploaded a portrait and landscape pic, just when the keyboard is displayed there is some overlap on the top. Nothing really bad though... Hope this helps, I'll see if there's something else I can make a screenshot of. But now, first dinner

Seems to work OK for me too Using Balaji 1.1 rom on Blackstone (HD), WM 6.5.x and Leo 2.01 based. Haven't tried landscape (I don't use it) but portrait seems to work fine. Only slight irritation is keyboard doesn't pop up on reply until you tap the text entry area. Much quicker than the laggy 2.5 messaging client
BTW I used the files from 0409 folder only, which I believe is English language. Well I'm English, and it worked anyway...

Good to hear!
Don't know if the keyboard thing was different with the original software? But still, atleast a fast messaging app

Just tried this on my TP2.
Works GREAT thanks!!!

is there an eaiser way to do it? lol

It works for me! Thanks dagrim1.
Not perfectly, though. Clicking on the send message link in the contact card will restart Sense, and the same will happen if I choose the messaging tab inside the contact card.
Using the 1.61 Turkish ROM (will switch to EnergyROM soon).
It should be possible to do it through a cab file. Anyone up for it?

working for me on the topaz.
The overlap bug is more acceptable than the lagging message, thank you

Hmmm, some possible bugs?
1. Capitalize letter when starting a new sentence doesn't work? Maybe it's the rom though, heh...
2. When sending a message I don't see the contact but just the phone nr as the recipient. Clicking the msg DOES open the contacts tab (and goes to msg tab) but then the msg isn't listed there...
Still trying to find out an easier way to do all this as well.

One more bug: clicking on "menu" doesn't show anything.

Doesn't seem to work for me. Though I use Leo's Dutch version and the Dutch country code isn't included in the files. Anybody knowing a solution?
Or you need to do anything with the app.reg and _skip?

Yes. I see a flicker on the screen, but nothing pops up.

I can't seem to change things in my windows folder, even though SENSE is off.

For anyone curious, this will not fix the SMS sending message problem.

Exactly the same thing.

EDIT:
I added separate cab files with tweaks founded in the original downloadpackage.
There are 2 folders: 1 for GSM and 1 for CDMA devices.
tweaks contained are: - max. sms shown upgraded
- different font sizes (going from 0 to 8)

manila 2.5 cab for stock roms - it works (mostly)!

NOTE: Updated the text file on 07/04/2010 with additional info after feedback.
Hey, has tried this cab manila 2.5_2012.1225?
I found out about it on forums after much searching. I wish I could post the links but because I'm a new user I'm not permitted
It works pretty well for me so far I just need some help trying to fix a few things like getting landscape mode to work, getting the photo browser to work properly (you can only browse ie. no slideshow or enlarging photos), getting the wifi tab to work in settings etc.
If you need help installing it just ask, I have all the necessary files and instructions - just don't know if I'll be able to post the links or upload them?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ignore the above - I have resolved most of these issues. I have attached a text file instruction on how to install this and where to get it in my last post below.

Deleted!!!

Deleted means what?

Got the photo album to work now

Got landscape mode to work as well
Everything working bug-free now - just a few of the tabs in settings like gsensor calibration not working but nothing serious. Phew, no need for cooked roms.

Can you post the link?
I would like to try witht the lastest official rom
Thanks

Here is the link: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632519

Can you let us know what additional steps are needed to take after you install to get it optimized on our phones? What are the remaining bugs that still need to be fixed? I read the forum and it looks like there's alot of extra steps... this sounds great though, look forward to hearing from you...thx!

Instructions for installing manila cab
OK for all who are interested, I have uploaded a text document detailing how to go about getting this Manila CAB to work. So far I'm very happyThere may be 1 or 2 tabs that don't work in the settings tab but they really don't bother me - one is Gsensor calibration for example. Let me know if this works. I had to try and search for all the links again so I hope I got them right for you.
Known issues thus far:
1) Music doesn't play when the screen is switched off
2) Album searcher can't see videos
Am trying to get these fixed. Will let you know when I find anything.

Just one thing you must be aware of: without installing this I had about 100mb program ram; after installing with all the fixes it goes down to roughly 70mb. It's not a problem for me because I don't demand a lot from my phone and never use more than 1 application at a time but I could perhaps recommend installing netnerds custom business rom which is ultralight and then trying this CAB over it. If any of you try this approach and have success with more memory let me know

Very helpful instructions but the contacts tab isn't working for me. I can see all the details and insert contacts as I like, but when I press on the contact to call them (even from the detailed screen) nothing happens.

the weather wallpaper not working on home screen any idea to fix it?

Thanks, appreciate it.

Hi
I followed the steps and most of things work perfectly.
A few things that doesn't work for me, maybe I am doing something wrong
1. My location doesn't work
2. Music can't continue playing when I turn the screen off
3. No video in "pictures and video" tab and no landscape mode.
Thanks
Stan

Did anyone else have problems with the weather? If so try this cab file. I found it wasn't necessary for me but it was for the previous version of the manila cab file. Please note that you need to update the weather manually at least I found this to be the case. Personally I don't mind this. As far as the weather screen saver goes, I have never actually seen manila 2.5 in live action, only in videos so I don't know how exactly its should work but it does work full screen in the background but only when the home tab "reloads" so to speak, when it plays once through the animation and then returns to normal. I'm not sure if it's supposed to show the weather in the background continually without end - I thought not or it would drain the battery?

For landscape mode you need to press the 3rd "<" key on your phone.
I haven't got any videos on my phone so I haven't been able to test if it can find them or not.
Is music supposed to carry on playing when you press the left hard button? If so it doesn't mine either.
