<REQ> Diamond screen rotate with animation - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Is it possible that can make screen rotate with animation on Diamond, like Iphone & Omina? It looks so cool!!!

So coool... And totally useless... Come on, why do you want that? Is your social life so miserable that you need a phone with sexy animations to look like a nice person? That's pathetic!

clandestino.
I must say that if your going to choose a good looking phone like the diamond then whats wrong with having good looking animations. If your not bothered what your phone looks like then you dont really need the diamond.
Dont be nasty just because your in a bad mood

Is this really necessary?
Anyway, here is a link with all sorts of Samsung Omnia goodies\apps I am sure that if they extract the function, they will post it there first

It make you feel the rotating Time shorter .. It's very nice .. I need it too..

Nah yesterday was just his anniversary for not getting laid in [insert random period of years].
just because someone doesn't find the use in a feature doesn't mean everyone else has to be without it.

If you're not ending this attitude conversation, I will! Back to topic!

I really can't believe nobody things that this should be a must on the Diamond having a delay when it rotates.

Those are very nice , you can't say the iphone animations suck, because the Apple OS can handle them, WM sucks so hard it will make your phone ****ed up if you apply those animations ...

Edited Content: You probably didnt read what the MOD said 2 posts above yours
Anyway, I'd just like to say that I'm relatively new to this forum and i'm very impressed with the help and quick responses to questions. You guys are so good, it's scary! Please keep up the good work. And, THANK YOU for giving my phone abilities I never knew it had!

One last warning before I close this thread: focus on the topic and restrain yourself from useless posting/fighting, arguing.

The iPhone kinda cheats to make those animations... it takes an instant screenshot and then animates that, it's not true ui animation.
There was a program that was called PocketSuspendFX that did that with WinMo during shutdown/startup and it worked pretty well.
WinMo 6.x is very able to do this but I'd want it "done right". It's a wonder why MS didn't implement this in the 6.1 update.

Download a program called Kinoma FreePlay and it has built in Animation for when you flip the phone and it works perfect.

A great fun app idea!

well we most know of the lightsaber app for the diamond right?
if not you can search for it here on the forum.
but anyway, i was watching some bruce lee style skit that was recorded on a cellphone and the both things clicked in my head and i thought up of the same concept as the light saber, where it uses the accelorometer to make the noises of punches and really quick movements! all bruce lee style, now that would be fun to use! im guessing one could use the same coding as the lightsaber just change sounds and interface to something like "Kung-fu-Fighter" for diamond or something.
well im just tossing out the idea, im no programer or coder so i really dont have any idea on how to do this, but the concept i think is great, just as much as the lightsaber app, i think alot of people would like this and want this. thanks in advance if anybody can come up with my idea.
oh and by the way, maybe it could have an option for switching between punch movements and just quick "swooshing" sounds for when your not pretending to hit anything but your moving your arms all crazy hahaha
I freaking love it!
yeeey a kung foooooo diamond..
love the idea
bump, i second that
that would be kickass!!
absolutely love the idea

i really like that
but let's just be real and stop dreaming
look how much ideas we have here in diamond section but no response from developers coz they all are busy developing new appz for iPhone to make the iPhone Owners like thier phones better and to make us feel sorry that we dont have that on our phones
i hate steve jobs with his brand-new (game boy).

ok ok, common, hey we all know that iphone has most of the developers ans such, and im surely jelous of it
but thats no reason to get all sad and negative about it.
thats why by giving ideas, we try to stay ahead of the iphone. atleast this could be one thing that the iphone doesnt have. and that would be one step ahead.
and common, dont hate. its as simple as people buy what they want, or what they need. simple as that, its like hating xbox just because they released halo 3 or something, its just doesnt make sense. we need to stop looking at the stuff we cant do and look at what we can or could do. simple as that.
besides, i was just giving a suggestion to what would be nice to have, thats all.
My brother have an iphone with two apps like this. One of them is called iFight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2SqPsy9ZPY and the other is called Sounds of Fury. It would be nice to see an app like this for the Diamond.
Does someone have the sounds for such an app? I've got the lightsaber source ;-)

iphone theme for Rhodium

just wondering if theres an iphone theme for the htc touch pro 2????
There is a commercial one available at http://www.iphonethemeforppc.com/index.php
I haven't tried it so use at own risk
Iphone Theme
I just purchased this one today and it didn't work very well. The icons were smaller than a chicklett and they were all bunched together. Also, there didn't seem to be any support after your make your purchase... save your money.

No offense, but I really don't see any reason to turn your phone into an iPhone if you didn't get an iPhone. Maybe I'm missing something here, I don't know.
The IphoneToday v1.1 app works great for me.
There is a Rhodium Theme section, why post in the ROM section?
Concerning your question, you could search the Blackstone theme section, since both devices are very similar.

The Touch Pro 2 does kinda resemble the iPhone though, with the chrome edges around it
None of that stuff from that site has any support, because they stole it all from XDA. The locker app is called S2U2. In this thread The today screen was probably iFonz. Link here. There are a bunch more iPhone-like applications here, all you have to do is search before buying.

i was just about to say that. to have an iphone just to have an iphone is pretty damn lame, but if you have one and genuinely understand phones and appreciate how good it really is, the more power to you. now, if you come to xda and ask this, that's just rock bottom

No offence, but if you think that putting an Iphone styled theme over a TP2 turns it into an Iphone, then yes, you missed quite a lot.
My 2-cents on this...
If you have an iPhone or use an iPhone theme, you're missing out on a lot of info on your homescreen.
You'll only have a bunch of shortcut icons. No preview of messages, no viewing upcoming appointments, etc.
It's like every time turn on your device, you're presented with the TF3D Start menu. Not sure why anyone would do this when TF3D and other more capable solutions are available.

That's a valid opinion, and as you use your phone that way, it's great you have the option of TF3D. The Iphone has advantages too, like if you want to open facebook/twitter/messaging, you turn the phone on, then click on facebook/twitter/messaging and you're done without having to open the start menu or slide to a different TF3D tab.
People use their phones differently so it's also great that they can set up their phone to suit themselves.
That's what's great about WinMo - people can do what they want with it, so if someone had an Iphone & loved the way it works, but not the lack of a keyboard & high-res screen, they can get a Pro2, enjoy the keyboard, high-res screen, and make it operate in a way that suits them.
If someone wants something on their phone, either help them achieve it, or leave them to it. Why criticise them because we don't want or understand what they want?
That's my view anyway!
Yeah, well said DavidMc0. I've just got the TP2 and want an auto lock solution. s2u2 looks like the one for me but I've concerns over the battery drain. It'll probably be the app for me but we'll see...

If you've ever had an Iphone which I have, you can appreciate the layout of the phone. The visual display and layout of the phone is great, bar but what I didn't like was the none keyboard and the AT&T cost, so if I come across a good iphone theme, I'd be happy to give it test drive

I agree!!! who would want an iphone interface on a WM phone
Iphone Theme
I know you might ask, why get a Touch Pro if you want an Iphone Theme. Well if you've had an iphone which I have you can really appreciate the flow of the phone. Everything is touch and setup in a manner that isn't clumped together. Windows Mobile just doesn't do it. Being able to touch things very easily is such a nice touch. I've already played around with some of the themes and some are nice but if someone would emuliate the iphone theme, I garantee it would be a hit. BTW, the only reason I got rid of the iphone is I wanted access to 3G which I didn't have on the TMobile network.
Just my thought...
There are tons of iphone applications that will work for the TP2, free ones... Search them. A couple examples:
iFonz
iPhoneToday
WAD2 (is a skinning program, you have to find the iphone theme for it. seen some beautiful looking ones)
ThrottleLauncher (another skinning program, might be an iPhone theme for it somewhere)
Just make sure you look to see that it supports WVGA resolution before trying any of them. IphoneToday is probably the best out right now in terms of functionality. Very light plugin, customizable, works like the iPhone, can be used with other today plugins, it's just awesome. Had it on my Titan and if it weren't for Manila being so dang sexy I'd have it on my Rhodium as well.

Yeah, but I'm sure it will in no way be as responsive and smooth as the iPhones UI and he'll be sure to mention it. Why choose a copy over the real thing.
I would think the latest Manila would be much more impressive.

i agree -- it's kinda suggesting that Apple did it better (which is what some may think, but not i) -- i even went so far as to uncheck the "Programs" tab in TF3D because i found it to be cumbersome, and use QuickMenu almost exclusively (after having remapped hardware and soft keys)

HTC HD2 - A Love story.

So, I've allways been a half way geek. Never to patient with learning to much of anything - and most of the time pretent to know more than i do.
Maybe more a Gadget Fan than a geek.. d;
So about 8 days ago i resived my HTC HD2, long awaited. And since i never had any other experience other than regular cells or Symbian OS, I figured it would a challenge using WM...
Cause I promised myself never to turn to apple.. NEVER!
SO about me thinkin it was going to be hard - God was I right. But never than less I had my play around with it, and looking at it now, im learning to love it more as the days go by..
Soo..
Thing's I like (+):
Huge screen (Bright and Beautyfull)
Sleek Design and great build quality. (Exept for the cam sticking out like that)
The posibiliy's for play with almost anything, and customize it as you like.
Thing's I'm not to crazy about (-):
Lags and failurs happent few times (daily)
The matter of time I have to use to find new apps. (I Blame MS)
And me beeing a noob still cant figur it all out yet.
To round up all this I just want to say that this is goin to be a phone Im going to hold on to, and love to start exploring to posibilitys in WM.
Im allready making some icons since I'm a great PS nerd. Going to share them at some point.
A few unsolved issues (I looked around to answer with no luck) to mention.
1. In the reviews the slidebar include Twitter AND facebook. But i can only add or remove Twitter for some reason. How do you add other programs to the slide bar?
2. How do I take a screenshot on the phone? (would love to share my scrren of the day )
Hehe, nice story
anymore?
Hi,
Glad that you're happy, in general. I don't think that you can add Facebook to the "Slider" AKA Home Screen Tabs (although I wouldn't be surprised if there is a Registry hack somewhere on this site. I'm guessing that you know you can add it to your Quick Links?
I'm sure I read somewhere on here about a tool to do screenshots too. Seach and discover (hopefully).
Regards.

point to a direction of what it looks like as I have stayed clear of the iphone and I can see what I can do.
Like this with the battery and everything... Maybe a % in the battery to make it better than the crap iphone(;

that is pretty cool looking, that being said without a seperate apk we could never get it exactly the same but I know NOJ has been doing some really cool stuff with the vanilla lockscreen. I haven touched the vanilla screen yet so he would be the guy to talk to about that. I would send him a PM with the link and see what he says.
Okay I will. Im actually useing his lock screen as of now. I love it, but I just have always loved the iphone one. Also how is he doing that without a seprate apk? or is he using a seprate one?
EDIT: Do you know where I can find a post from NOJ? I can't find him to send him a PM.
I think an apk would be fine. Just like the HtcLockScreen.apk
I think what he meant was all the current ones from the market dont work to well.. Like Lock 2.0, it looks like the iphone but it doesnt work that well with staying as your lock screen.
