Paulya Phone Skins and HTC Universal
I have tried the skins from paulya.com on a Universal with ROM as below.
They do NOT work. I have attempted to modify the graphics of Pauly's very nice skins for my own use, this is possible and you can make the appearance on the screen appear normal at the corrected pixels per inch size, however, the underlying .dll that controls the layout of the touch screen that comes bundled does not ammend the touch responses correctly (as an example: in portrait mode the graphics for SPEED DIAL, HISTORY and TALK remain horiozontal above the number pad, whereas the .dll expects to find them in a vertical list to the right of the dialpad. If you have the time and the skills there are instructions on several forums (including this one) for editing the relevant dynamic link libraries.
The only skin I have found so far that works (as downloaded, out of the box, so to speak) on this device with its current ROM is O2's XDA Exec skin (or one made for it by a third party) which is attached to this post. This skin however consumes 2mb of storage for a minor change in appearance (transparent in place of solid graphics). I have deleted it.
Incidentally I have paulya's Vista phone skin on my HTC Himalaya. It is beautiful graphic work and makes the device very usable with one hand no pointer required. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
CORRECTION:
Further effort shows that the underlying .dll bundled with paulya's eten skins does amend the touchpad on the screen correctly. (i.e. you get the result you would expect by tapping on the screen, but the graphics will not display correctly even when they are resized to 192 pixels per inch. I would imagine there is only a small effort required to get from here to something that works but I do not know how to do that.

Hey i didnt get it right... the vista skin does it work on exec.... i suppose not.... please can u upload any working skin for exec.. i have been looking for the same for quite some time but the search is futile.... else upload the 2 mb skin u mentioned about... i m ready to sacrifice 2 mb for a good looking dial pad skin... thanx

PaulyA.com is no longer. For those of you who are still interested I have moved all my projects to JPL4Designs.com. The old site got robbed while I slept on it.. Mods, if you please update my links on the forums I would greatly appreciate it. Google is picking them off XDA-Dev and others rating the old site high. Thanks so much.

[SKN]Diamond Calculator VGA Skin V2 [Updated 08.02.08]

Hi to all !
UPDATED 08.02.08 !
V2 available.
Bugs corrected.
See pics below.
PLEASE RELOAD !!!
This is a little contribution for the HTC diamond.
Available for portrait and land mode in true VGA.
- Choose black or white skin folder.
- Install SPB calc CAB.
- Copy "Spbcalc_P_VGA" and "Spbcalc_L_VGA" files in windows folder with "Total Commander" or others.
- Do a soft reset.
- Enjoy !!!
Black Version :
White Version :

Looks great - cant wait to try it out. Thanks

Thats a lot better than the stock version. I was very disappointed with the original one.
Thank you

Yeah !
And what about a white diamond skin ?

Skin updated !
You can choose black or white skin.
Hope you like it !

Thanks
Thanks, looks good........but my calculator keys are not as yours..they travel inward as if you drew them with a horizon point 110mm towards the top.....like looking down an airport runway

Like this ?
If yes, this one is original SPB black skin ...
You must read first post ! ...
1 : Install CAB in main memory.
2 : With "total commander" copy "diamond calculator skin" files (spbcalc_P & spbcalc_L) in windows folder.
3 : Enjoy DIAMOND Calculator Skin !

Thanks Lord Ghost
Thanks....I have found the problem
I followed your advice and reloaded your files...new download.
removed previous version and graphics
reloaded and reinstalled
graphic remained the same [wrong]
re saved the new graphic again....still the same [wrong]
soft reset made no differance
restarted calculator again and graphic was as before [wrong]
turned to landscape...Graphic was corect
turned back to portrait....graphic is now corect..
Windows must somehow cache the graphic and does not re cache until you turn the diamond to another position and then back....soft reset made no differance.
Working fantastic now...thanks from all of us.

Thanks..tested the theory
Thanks again Lord Ghost,
I tested me theory by altering your excellant graphic [and thanks for your hard and excellant work] by lightening the black so as to make it slightly better visable on the diamond.
copied them accross and yes your original graphic [cached] is there...rotated and the new graphic switches in....mystery.
Have included your graphic [you deserve the praise] with my slight allteration in contrast etc.
If you want to use...copy extracted graphics to Diamond's windows [replacing original graphics] start calculator...old graphic will be there...rotate...new graphics will click in.
Again many thanks

Hi, I've tried this on and nice work. Thank you.
However, when I uninstalled the cab file, then the calculator no longer exists?
has anybody got the same problem?

Nice work!
I have reskinned this calculator a lot to many different themes (QVGA), and was planning on a VGA version... No need anymore!
One thing though, your dot-key is one pixel off (to the left).

What do you mean by uninstalling the cab-file? If you don't want to store the cab-file after installing, just delete it. If you use "remove programs" however, you will uninstall the program itself.
If you are missing the original calculator after uninstalling this version, you are right. The installing of this version overwrites the original files. They are not back-upped somewhere, so the will be gone. You have to find a installer-cab for the original files somewhere.

Skin updated !
V2 is available.
See first post and reload.
Thanx and enjoy !

WELL DONE........

HTC Diamond Calulator Skin
Hi, Noobie here ..
I still have the same "airport runway effect " desipte remove and reload .
a) Have use Resco to copy the gif files from internal memory to /mydevices/windows.
b) Also try rotating the Cal from landscape to portrait .
Despite this .. The airport effect remains .. Wonder if the key here is using TOtal Commander or Resco ?
Can anyone throw a light and advise a poor new noobie here ?
using Rom 1.37.871.3WWE

Sorry Lord Ghost but...
Sorry Lord Ghost but...white graphics work...black graphics are not compatible...file size inconsistancy or ....

Not sure ...
a) I transfer from PC to internal memory, 3 files , the gif files and cab file.
b) Then I install from internal memory which gives you an option whethre to install into main or internal; which i selected main ...
Earlier post states , main memory ... wonder if that got to do with the transfer ? which is highly not possible ... otherwise Cal will not even work at all .
I really wonder why ?
DO you any possible conflicts with tweaks ? Just got my Diamond few days back ...
Sigh !
Since it is written in main.. guess , I may need a hard reset .. if I cannot find .. start all over again !

Thanks much better than the original one

Omnia interface on Diamond

Has anyone tried to install the omnia interface on their Diamond? And did it work?
Mine didn't..
More info: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/08/29/samsung-omnia-user-interface-on-your-device-plus-more.html

mmm sort of and sort of not effed up my phone a bit.
Would be good if someone could mod the app so it would work on the td.
It looks pretty good and i`ll try ought on ma phone!

Would love to use it with the second today

Omnia interface...
I know this isn't the real thing, but it looks pretty good. If you've got spb Mobile Shell v2.0, you can install this Omnia interface skin for it.
Scroll down the programs to find the entry
The site linked above also has loads of other great free apps.

spb shell theme for omnia : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/09/18/omnia-spb-mobile-shell-212-theme.html
Omnia on VGA devices : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/11/17/install-samsung-omnia-user-interface-on-your-vga-device.html
Intrestingly enough I found both these application here on xda dev

by me the screen size of the omnia today doesn't fit to the complete diamond screen... any ideas?

Im also having this problem. Has anyone found a way to change it to VGA mode somehow?

Same problem here.
In my case, the diamond dosn't show all the picture. If VGA has a higher resolution than QVGA, it should apear a picture smaller than the screen... no?¿
Any trick to sove this?¿

Well this doesn't help a singe bit for me ...
After installing the cab and the 3 files and activating Samsung Today2
(Samsung Today1 will not work and you have to do a hardreset) I can
see a couple of Samsung ?widgets? - there is no Samsung Widgets to
select for me as stated somewhere.
Anyway the dialer is still not shown on the screen completely.

I have the same problem...no "samsung widgets" in elements of today screen

Touch HD, first impressions

So indeed the UK model is available in the Netherlands, just got mine.
My first impressions:
- The device actually feels smaller than I thought, feels only slightly heavier than my Diamond and much lighter than my Pro.
- The screen sensitivity for my finger is great, however it seems that I have to press harder with the stylus than on my Diamond.
- I cannot prevent touchflo 3D from installing, softresetting before customisation brings the device back in setup mode.
- The screen and the size of the buttons are great for finger usage.
- The device is faster than my Diamond and Pro, Touchflo 3D is really improved in terms of speed, however there is a lag when using the file explorer I didn't had on my previous devices.
- I really like the small led in the power button, indicating charching, bluetooth, etc. No more irritating charching lights from the action button when the device is next to my bed.
- All software I installed on my Diamond works on my HD (Spb products, Mobipocket, Pocketbreeze.)
- Did not test the GPS
- There is a soft bag for protection of the HD. The good is that it doesn't make the device much thicker. The bad is that it will not provide much protection (but it is included!!)
- The device comes with a 8GB microSD card (Sandisk.)
- The HD can be used in the HTC cradle, but without the special inlays, so a bit risky for the connector.
- No video-out (not in settings.)
- The full QWERTY on screen keyboard is better than on my Diamond, but still small and not as responsive to touch as I would want (I am used to my Iphone ;-))
Overall I think it is one of the best devices I have had for the last two years (a bit early to tell, but... first impression)

Can you tell us how vga apps work? Do they get stretched to fill the screen or are there black bars on top and bottom. I am talking about apps with no WVGA support.
Thanks!

Great post! I'm really looking forward to finding out how people get along with the HD. It's number one on my list of devices to replace my Touch.

please oh please try to play a divx movie thats perhaps the only thing that will make me sell my diamond i was used to see movies on my x7500 diamond sucks on plaaying video

All apps I tried so far just scale to fill the screen.
It looks great!
The apps even look better than on my X7500!
After tweaking some performance settings and after installing 10 apps, this baby is fast!!!
Everything is almost instantanously, never seen this on a HTC device before (and I have had a lot ;-))

if you tell me it plays divx flawlessly ill put my diamond for sale right now hehehe

Any comments about audio quality through the 3.5mm plug. Also does the cradle have audio out (through usb of the device)?

The audio quality through the headset is great, its roughly the same as the Diamond, good bass, etc.
No sound through USB though, so no music through the cradle.
Looks great in the cradle though ;-)

OK, good news,
TomTom navigator 7 is working perfectly.
Better, no GPS lag (inside, because it is raining terribly here).
And look at Mobile Shell
This really is HTC's best device in years!!!

How does the sound compare with your iphone?
That cradle is huge, does it come with the package?
You have really kept up with all the PPC since the black and white days! Do you keep all of them or have you sold and upgraded throught he decade?

To be honest, the sound of both the Diamond and HD is much better than the sound of my Iphone, the sound is....more alive, more bass, etc.
I really like my Iphone and used it together with my Diamond for more than 3 months, and last month I mentioned that I was only using my Iphone. It is so much easier to use and the screen is really great.
But beside the UI, I think the HD beats the Iphone in a lot of aspects.
You have to buy the cradle seperately, it is a bit huge, yes.
I think I am an addict..... I kept some, not all, I am not that rich ;-))

tomtom
I also received my touch hd today! a great device, the big screen is really lovely.
I can't seem to make tomtom 7 working though. Wich cab did you use? I get the error message that it is not compatible with my device.
Thanks

Johnkorver,
It is indeed a good news that there is no lag in GPS
HTC Touch Diamond + HTC X7500 + Iphone 16 GB White + HTC Touch HD
Your collection is awesome

It was to good to be true...
I found a bug; the rollout menu's (don't know how to call it) do not work on non standard programs.
I had this bug also on my Samsung i780 with a 320x320 pixel screen.
You can select the different items using the keyboard though.
Look at the screenshot to see what I mean; I selected the main window menu.

hi johnkorver , what about 3g reception and system speaker related to diamond ? thnx

[GAME] Collapse Chaos- Another Block game from AT&T

Collapse Chaos​This came from dumped Topaz ROM and should resize itself to most resolutions(see below for confirmation). Works great on VGA Raphael(Fuze). I had a whole thing typed up about the game, but it got lost when I tried to upload. It is a game like Tetris/Bubblebraker which you have to touch similar colors to clear the stage. There are several types of gameplay as well as "Quest" and "Free Play" modes. Unlock more by playing quest Attatching a few screens. I suggerst you try this game If you find where game data is saved I willl add a backup feature in my Flashback scriipt(see sig).
I will remove the cab at request of AT&T or software developer if there are any copyright issues​
Tested Devices
(Report if it is working, stock ROM, Cooked ROM, any details)
Tested and working on Fuze.
Tested on TP2 some working, some not. May be a ROM issue?
Does not resize well on QVGA devices, but can be played if you dont mind the resizing issues.
Not working on Diamond yet
Possible Solution to Game starting for a moment then just exiting found here.​
LINKY HERE​
Recommend installing to device to avoid problems
EXT available upon request.​

Works great on the Fuze. oddly quickly addictive. it's similar to the other games with a nice time constraint and the modes are nice as well. Great find! Here's a little more on it (I borrowed your photos) http://www.fuzemobility.com/collapse-chaos-in-the-wild/

Another new rom?
BRB.. Got to flash mah Fuze! lol
Nice game!

this sounds great ! Thanks for sharing dude

thanks, im trying it out now on my blackstone

Orange UK Diamond Working Fine
Great little game, nice find dude!
Working great on my Orange UK Diamond (1.93.405.1 WWE).
Oddly isn't resizing correctly on my GF's Omnia - graphics all chunky, edges and tops of screen missing etc.
P.

works more or less on the T-Mobile Wing
But the resolution is definitely off. I can only see part of the screen (part of the black area in the center actually), as if it zoomed on the middle. So the blocks on the periphery are not visible and the bottom row is almost completly cut off (I'm talking about the row of blocks before the horizontal line). The score on top is not visible during the game either.
The pixels are also kinda large. I think it tries to display for a VGA screen.
Oddly enough, I can still play the game and reach level 10.
And the link to the menu is superimposed to the bottom row of blocks.

on my touch hd the resolution is off a bit but the rest works fine, miri 2.5 rev 7.1

it doen't work on my HD
When i launch it I've got a black screen for 1 second then I come back to the home sceen of TF3D...

Same error on my Diamond with the latest Gen.Y ROM

does not work for me either. just flashes by, and then kills itself. no error or nothing.
touch pro2 unbranded swedish edition.

It seems to work fine on my Telus Touch Pro 2.

?.?.?
What are the odds on getting this ina QVGA resolution?

Doesn't work on my Diamond with BSB6.5R. *tear*

Doesn't work on my topaz either ...

Works great on my Rhodium. Thanks.

Thank you. It looks great.
But at the moment it does not work on my HD.
It tries to start but immediately goes back to the TF3D home screen.

Just to say it works on my polaris QVGA so im happy . Maybe it has to be a topaz/rhodium base for the app to work otherwise im out of ideas. or 6.5??
