A very newb question - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Does all these apps requires me to unlock my diamond. I'm not very technical but would like to use some of the apps available here.

you can use them without unlock.. just read developers note carefully before installing them..

most are in .cab format, which means you just copy the .cab file to your Diamond and then run it from the phone.
You dont need the phone to be unlocked, we're not fruity fan boys

Cook WIMP in Rom

I finally bought the software package of WIMP (Where is My Phone) and I read somewhere that it is possible to 'cook' the program into the rom so when the thief does a Hard Reset it stays into the phone so I can always retrieve it. Only the tutorials I have found aren't useable on the Touch HD (Blackstone).
Does anyone has a tutorial to cook WIMP into the Rom of the Touch HD, or maybe another program like WIMP which I can use and cook?
Have you got it to autostart on your phone?? Atleast that is what i am trying to do, but no luck still, do you have a "howto"? Without autostarting the program is basically useless
I have also been looking into this type of thing.

This is for UTA instead... but i guess the same would apply.

Thank you for the link, but in this link they are referring to a different Rom than the standard HTC rom. I want to know if it's possible to cook it in the standard HTC Rom. I can't test is, because it will need an hard reset to test, and an hard reset is the last I want
Is there someone who could test it for me?
Thanks in advance.

It really depends what you want to do, but check out the themes section of the Leo xda forum, that will give you an insight.
Standards things like installing Cookies HomeTab/MaxManilla, altering wallpapers, stucturing the start menu ok.
The themes section will give you cabs you can install which will place new icon sets on your phone (and replace the original which can be reverted) and give it a slight new look.
First read read read this forum...then decide what you want to do with your phone. Enjoy!
does the phone need to be jailbroken? b4 installing anything else.

By "JailBroken" you mean HSPL, no.
You only need to install HSPL (check the ROMS section for more info/definition) if you want to upgrade the ROM to a non-official version.
There are updates for most providers and from HTC available from the HTC Support site which you can install without having to HSPL, which means all warrenties stay intact (Please make sure you read how to do this from the HTC site properly as it could leave it unusable, and "Flashing" the ROM will always perform a Hard Reset so will get rid of all of your data.
Any *.cabs that you install are just programs and can be installed removed as you want.

[Q] What does Chevron and other stuff do?

Hi, i just got an activation code for HD7 but before i activate my wp7, what does all the other stuff do on some of the different forums for activating live services?
All i would like to know basically, is if i activate my phone with the code will marketplace and htc hub be available for me to use and download apps? or do i have to do all the other stuff before I can use that kind of stuff?
Thanks for your time
Yes, you need to do the other stuff so that the market sees your phone as a HD7 rather than a LEO(HD2).
Thanks, ill try the other stuff, its just the chevron stuff thats not working so far.

Read this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912218
That is the guide you need to use to properly unlock/reg hack/activate your phone and to keep it unlocked. (unless you choose to relock). Also remember to use TOMS Deployer to install the xaps or if you use the WP7 dev tools to deploy remember to run the XBMODDeployer manually.
PS. You could have answered your own questions by looking at forum stickies instead of creating this topic.

[Q] How does root apps or method works?

hey there.. i just want to learn @ask on how do root apps work like what they do to gain root nd how methods do to i really like to now just like to help ppl or learn more for my own use plz i really want to know.. WOW im so curious!! hehe thanks
Just my guess, I think they get root by requesting it, then the dialog appears and you allow it. Its then saved that that app can have root permissions. Don't know the technicals of how it request it but download some tools, and take an app apart and explore it.

Rooting is equivalent to to #su access in the Linux world. Which gives you complete control of your device by accessing the /system, /bin, bootloader and recovery images. By doing this you can greatly increase the options for our devices.
It's done by exploiting a security flaw in the firmware.
Some tools that require root access would be Absolute Tools, Screen Cast, Titanium Backup. If you are using a game or a productivity app that is requiring root access delete it straightaway.
And this is a forum, you don't have to use SMS short hand.
Ohh .. wow that's hard.. nd I can do this by my self?
If you're asking it - no, you can't.
Can i ask u why???.. because u look like u now ??
Because:
If you want to make Android apps, root or not - you need to learn Android development, install SDK, install Eclipse, read a lot of literature, make your first "Hello world" project, complete some more tutorials, think of a simple app that you want to make, and Google a lot while making it. And of course, you need to know some programming before, on whatever object-oriented language - since Java is quite simple to understand if you know C++ or alike. Then you need to decide, what do you want to make a root app for, and Google your way to understand, how should your app ask for root privileges on execution. Then you should learn how to sign your app.
If you just want to know how to modify apps, how is Android built, how do you make changes to files etc - you'll still need to understand all the above, but you'll also need to read some decompiling guides for using smali/baksmali, learn how to use apktool and various Java decompilation code viewers, perform some simple modifications to practice, and then do some more complicated work that you set your eyes on.
And to look for exploits that allow rooting, you need to be a VERY experienced programmer, easily navigate tenths of thousands of lines of C code, know your way inside drivers, etc.
And if you need me to write you all that - it means you're nowhere near starting it all, means you can't "do it yourself" any time soon, or at all.
Oh wow... thanks man.. nd sorry if i got u mad.. haha.. nd i just wanted to now if i could make a root ap.. lol.. im just a 15 noob kid.. nd thanks u really now

Request to the Forum Moderators.

Just finished my engg. exam and i'm back as promised you before with my new hack and much more achievements.
So, my wish to the Forum Moderators to Remove this thread as per my request.
I'm doing a very Hard work on my Latest Hack at underground as a lonely.
I'll come back with Full Hacking achievements with the clean concept.
Hope, for your positive response.
and Sorry about editing post without other team member's permission and technical discussion.
Thank You.
This is some ground-breaking stuff.
I'm very interested to see what we are going to get from this.
Doees this mean that lumia phones can be-are interop unlocked?

May be or may not be. I've not research yet on it.
Those methods also work on any OEM Device, not specific for the Lumia.
Well, this is a potentially phenomenal breakthrough... Nice research!
Looks like it requires installing both apps to the SD card, correct? That means you need to have an SD card and WP8.1. That's still a heck of a lot more phones than we could unlock before!
Time to explore this...

Yes, Required SD Card but there no need to Deploy both apps. i mean now apps can be shared globally
We can shared app packages with the NI Images.
Edit:
I'm Also started to do investigation for Non-SD Card devices and i hope i'll get the success. because i'm 2 steps ahead there too (But it is very Hard to achieve, there is no success guarantee)
Could you explain how I would do this using htc rather the a lumia device. I cant seem to figure it out.
Also you mentioned you can write to the registry. If that is true, then you should be able to make your device interop unlocked by setting the max apps to 99999
@snickler
Microsoft didn't developed any patch for SD Card.
I'm on latest build dp 8.10.14192.280 (known as Critical Update).
My another thought is get this method on running WP8.0 GDR3 firmware, having 8.1 developer preview and running WP8.0 App packages. It would be a nice as my prefer.
If you have any problem or confusion, then PM me. I'll be there.
Hmmm.. this doesn't make sense to me why it's not working.
for the ones who have a sammy i drop the xap here , I used sammy diag app for it.
@ceesheim
Yes, now Samsung firmware can be freshly Jailbreak on 8.1
What did you do man
That's great
Wonderful
We are not there jet , but the possibility is right on the corner
@ceesheim
Would you mind creating a Xap for HTC as well. I cant seem to get it to work on htc one m8.
We need a Nokia library that uses RPC or IOCTL to make registry changes, the more arbitrary the better. Something like Samsung's RPCComponent DLL. Working on it...

Nothing from this list under htc would work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311626
@starsoccer9: Please install some of your OEM apps to the SD card and extract their contents from Install\ folder, post the contents here as ZIPs? I'll see what I can do.
