for those who don't know what is idiamond. check it over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=463018
i don't see why the thread has been closed even though the beta is supposebly over. (mine is still working and i installed it the first day it was released). i think we should be free to discuss about it. I'm personally creating this thread cause i need to report some major bugs so D-man can be aware of these issues that are very annoying.
1- with the Touch Pro. when your phone is locked if you slide out and and then you slide right back in the keyboard it automaticly remove the password protection and unlock the device.
2 with the touch pro again. everytime when you slide the keyboard and go try to type something on email or messages whatever it doesnt let you type the first try it takes you to call history. u gotta type on the task manager on the messaging section to go back and the second time it lets you.
if you have any other issues/thoughts, please share

Super lil app
Only niggle is wallpaper is set to black only.. would be good to be able to change it
i tried the sw and i found a strange thing in the setting xml file... there was a command line called "deploytrojan=1"...
however, i think this sw is really cool, would be better with autolock function and the possibility to set a "fixed line" of icons not sliding with the other... and a better clock function.
I think that the idiamond project is simply perfect
and I saw the videos.....it's amazing
I can't wait til it finally finished
The coverflow thing looks very very interesting on the videos!
I love this project, and i'm really waiting for the final release
I don't want to talk about the developer...
I don't understand his philosophy...
Ya I thought it was strange to issue a beta version and then lock it out on Jan 15th. My only thought it is he will try to sell it after its created and thats why he was all weird about the program time out.

You people should read the threads. People are different. So is D-MAN666. He wanted to end the beta to keep his interest. Most things that are in beta, REMAIN beta for A LONG TIME. And he felt that it would be better to do them in phases. He is weird I'll give you that but who isn't? I'm certainly sure that some people think I'm weird.
but it's me who is weirdest......
;-)
Right????
Long live D-Man and long live XDA-Developers!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diamond and HD FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I <3 Tmobile UK....
yet i have fido in canada.....
strange....
hows that for weird....
dont think d-man is weird cause he ends beta.... be happy he gave beta...
I think iDiamond is really nice, BUT I think it sucks hard that there is no weather app included and reading a sms is als crap cause the keyboard almost covers 80% of the new message...
Im used to see the whole message and not that "Outlook like" crappy view....
where's the cab file in order to download this?
Beta period is over....so forget the cab it wont work
wow...do we have any news about the official version?
After a search on web, i found this file http://rapidshare.com/files/182420296/v1.rar
Does anybody knows if it works or i'm gonna **** my diamond?
IDiamond Project is one of the best launchers out there. I am currently using slow ifonz and am waiting for the real deal to drop from Dmann666! I am not an iphone wanna be but i just want a launcher that is quick and cuztomizable like idiamond. I will pay for this app!

If I remember correctly DMan666 said in the Idiamond thread he would make sure people could still use the beta after january 15th.
I hope he does because I have been using it since the day it was released and love it.
For the people whining about lack of weather and active icons etc. It is a BETA and nobody is forcing you to use it. So give positive feedback or come up with constructive ideas instead of pure negativism.

You guys don't know the secret behind poking, huh? I used to do some facebook hacking before they cracked down on it. The thing is, when you poke someone, you have acess to a temporary page that displays information that would usually be private, including features. It's a stalker feature in fb for sure, but try it out. It's a great thing to do when you don't want to send a friend request but still want to stalk the person..\

oh snap.. really?. that's pretty awesome. lol
and I'm happy to report that... FINALLY!.. I don't have partial wake lock with this update.. jesus, took them long enough.
.1 didn't work for me, even after uninstalling facebook and completely reinstalling. .2 fixed it, but only after a full install again.
This new update broke notifications (takes you to the website, again), which had been fixed in the last update.
How to you completely uninstall the Facebook application. I only have the option to "uninstall updates", I can't uninstall the app (not from the market front, or the Applications -> Manage -> Facebook). I am not rooted and have never seen this before. And yes, I am not trying to remove the Facebook for HTC Sense, I am trying to remove the katana one. 1.3.2 is still in my running services even though I have all notifications turned off and refresh turned off. 1.2 never showed up in the running services location.
ohhhhh the new update broke notifications? so how do i get the new update and which facebook is this, htc sense or regular
So they update the app so the last 6 people with 1.5 can install the app, and it breaks notifications for all of us.

Is anyone still having issues with the awake time bug. 1.3.2 is causing my phone to stay awake
My notifications, even on the last update, have always always always taken me to the website.
I had been running the last version without the partial wake bug (1.2.9? 1.3.0? I forget) and upgraded to this today. Immediately went back to constant partial wake time. I just uninstalled the entire app for now but are you saying that a complete uninstall then reinstall of the new version will get rid of this issue? I don't really care too much because the regular site works just fine. I just figure I will use the application if it's not raping my battery in exchange for saving me 2 seconds of opening a bookmark.

Personally, I think it might be ok for prototyping... but good luck making anything that is close to advanced with it. It would be easier just to write the code.

Yeah, I just got one yesterday. But as eatmold says you can't use a custom icon on the phone (though that may be possible to do, but the people who know guard the secret - google say its on the list, but knowing them that will be 2012!)
However it is possible to export and import code (not java, some special google stuff) - so people might be able to exchange and share information.

Get folder organizer. Might be one word. It allows you to place a widget, with a custom icon, that launches either a folder, or an app. So you'll have a stock app in the app drawer, but at least it'll look nice on your desktop

Does anyone know if the new Swype Beta keyboard works on the Hero?
I loaded the old version, and it required a higher resolution at that time, but before I mess up my perfectly working daughter's phone (who is leary of my experimentation), I wanted to know.
Thanks.
yes it does I just recently did the December update and it's working fine. Just make sure you use the swype installer so you can sign in and use the keyboard fully.
i personally prefer Shapewriter...
Yes, it works great on my Hero. I've been using it for the past 6 or 7 months without any issues. Takes a little while to get used to, especially if you're moving over from a physical keyboard. The last update (December) made some nice changes. I would likely throw my phone in the trash if I had to use the stock keyboard! Go get it, its easy. Like the other poster said, be sure to get the legal copy. Good luck!
Be careful though, I just found out that heroes auto corrects to herpes...particularly important for us.

Yea the new swype works well but when you install make sure you have data on and let the user license agreement go through or else you will get an error saying this version was formatted for another device.
Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk
I upgraded recently from the previous version of Swype on my Hero, and it started giving me the features won't work error which caused it not to swype at all. But reading the Swype forums, they advised to uninstall both Swype and the Swype installer apps and then reboot and reload Swype installer and install Swype again. After I did that, Swype is now working properly.

I have tried all of them, and even purchased one. I got into the beta program a couple of weeks ago before it opened, and like it the best so far. Very good.
I'm not trying to dig this thread up, but I just signed up for beta and got it working on aosp 2.2. I couldn't be happier. Hopefully I'll be able to keep or buy it after the beta period is up.
When the beta first hit, it worked perfectly, now every single time I download it I get a blue box around the keyboard when I tap anything. It's useless now, which is a shame, because I loved it. Anybody know a fix that isn't part of the troubleshooting list on the actual site?

Have you tried reinstalling the swype installer? I had to download it again from them and do it all over. Also, try this: tap any text box to bring up your swype board, long press to change to android keyboard, let it pop up, then long press to change back to swype. 99% of the time that fixes the blue box for me.

Hey,
For those of you who don't know, we (me and my friend) from the WP7Android team were working and still working on a WP7 Lockscreen, which was released as a "Lite" version today on the forum (for the engadget promotion). when the Engadget promotion finishes (http://wp7android.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=113), I will publish the lockscreen on the market (Only the lite version, you will be able to access the full version on the website when its released, www.wp7android.com/shop/) and the full version will be hopefully released within a week or so..
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11620804/Wp7/ScreenShots/WP%20Lock.png
(Read My Last Post For The Update).
there is no need for another thread...
There is no need of you spamming every thread with the WP7Android project.
Well, First I didn't know that there was another thread going on, that's why I posted this one. And second, I can understand from only one post, there is no need for the whole world to reply the same thing..
uhmm. Sorry, I meant to have replied to the first guy, not you.I have no problem with this thread
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Yeah the shadewalkerz guy has been trolling all the wp7 threads.
I withhold my position that the wp7android team should release everything for free except maybe the launcher, so that people will use your stuff. When you release all these limited versions that are just okay, and then don't have the paid versions even on the android market, you aren't going to get hardly any profit. If you put everything in full for free you will likely get many more customers who would be willing to donate to the project, and you might even get featured on some android sites, maybe even Engadget or Lifehacker.

Too much advertisment for a buggy and unfinished product (wp7android). There is no urge to try your produducts seeing as there are other alternatives which are less buggy, like fede music for example. Widget locker can create the same look as wp7 lockscreen although it is not possible to slide the lockscreen picture up...but I can live without that aslong as I have a buggy and laggy free lockscreen

I actually find the lockscreen, working really well, but the other apps really need more work if youre wanting ppl to donate and buy your apps.
So, nice work overall, i really like the wp7 lockscreen.

Won't sync with Facebook and friends pics or show there statuses. And for the first week. Every time I left the app and came.back in it would FC. I would have to uninstall or clear app data to get it to work again.

I installed and it worked out great. Had 1 issues tho, I could push the home button and the lockscreen would be bypassed by that, the slide to lock thing was a little buggy. For example, when I slide to unlock it'll just sit bouncing. It was good, but not for my use personally.
Good job overall, I'll check out the product in its later stages.
Pulled yesterday the update from the network with the famous trick.
I have been plying around since then and wanna share my thoughts.
Gmail push mail is working but with a huge dealy comparing it with android or iOs mail delivering. Slow
Multitasking is working only with MS app, not third party. Maybe the apps are not upadated yet but... it sucks at the moment
Social network integration is good with facebook but very complicated to use, not intuitive. Twitter is not supported and the twitter app just plain sucks... no background tweet pull neither push. A mess
Live tiles are nice but daily briefing stays static
Do not know about battery usage
Bing music search is nice but it would be nicer with the possibility of downloading songs directly
I like marketplace, fewr apps than competitor but overall good quality
IT MISS A FAST DIAL OPTION... this is an epic fail... there is no smart dialing too... so calling someone who is not in the start screen takes like 6 or 7 click. fail
If this update eas released one year ago it would be good and efficent... comparing my mango omnia7 with my sammy sgs2 is like stealing sweets to a kid...
Poor Nokia... your N9 is far better that this fruit salad...

No mango just sucks. I really don't want to see several "messages" to multitask between in the multitask screen, some is even from the same sender. How is having two "apps" to switch too Witch is identical? And when your in marketplace, going deeper into "related" and I want to search..where is the button? I have to hit back a zillion times before it appears? Oh no wait I have a actual button on my phone for that..lets press that..BING wtf? They messed up big time, can't even get my native language to the display language.

If this update eas released one year ago it would be good and efficent... comparing my mango omnia7 with my sammy sgs2 is like stealing sweets to a kid...
Poor Nokia... your N9 is far better that this fruit salad...

not sure about whether there is a delay in gmail, tried that and i do not notice any delay in receiving mail/sending mail via gmail.
what do you mean by third party app? can give some example so that i can try it myself? i take Whatsapp as an example, i have no issue running this app (multi-tasking), games, or whatsoever.
regarding FB, i think its individual experience. some may find it complicated / not user friendly some may find it very nice. i personally find it OK, not the best neither very good. never try twitter, hence no comment on this.
whether all tiles are "live" or not i think it doesn't really matter, of course if all tiles are "live" that would be good to have. i find battery usage on Mango is damn good, way better than iPhone or most of the android devices.
agreed with you that without smart dialing is an epic failure. i believe everybody is complaining about this and hope that it will be addressed in next release (Tango)
let's not "conclude" that Mango is a "failure" release, knowing that there are a lot of so call fundamental features supposed to be in but it weren't. Give microsoft a chance and see what they have in Tango or Apollo.
I fast dial just pressing windows button and saying "call name of person" in italian of course
using mango for 1 day is not enough to write a review from my point of view

Enough to get frustrated , it shouldn't do that. Those feelings should come after a long time when you discovered them. Not get frustrated the moment you want to do something. That speech feature isn't working in my language either . Neither is bing features.
Can someone please explain the multitasking behaivor? I really don't get it

I think you should really stop trolling in this 3d.
You are happy with mango? good for you.
You do not find annoying multitasking between single messages? Good for you.
You like searching for the search button, again good for you.
Are you a microsoft employee? If not, why you feel so frustrated with someone givin his opinions?
I can see you are a newbie on XDA and maybe you do not know that we usually review the software update and even the phones. Do you have any problem with it? Just change topic. And please stop saying that us, italians, have solutions for all the problems, it is just childish.
you didn't understand how to use the phone, you are the original poster so you are the trouble maker and you are more newbie than me, so shut up

Gmail push mail now works perfectly.

Twitter app, facebook app. rai.tv app do not multitask. Maybe they will, but now they do not.

You are right. De gustibus. I personally do not like it. It uses a ton of bandwith every time you open contacts app.
whether all tiles are "live" or not i think it doesn't really matter, of course if all tiles are "live" that would be good to have. i find battery usage on Mango is damn good, way better than iPhone or most of the android devices.
Live tiles that are not live is an epic fail.
Battery life is depends too much on user behavior for me to judge it I just says that on android you can UV etc etc to get max battery life.

I do not think that WP7 will still be on the market when Tango will be released. That is just my sensation.

Maybe you should learn basic education. And stop acting like a little n00b. I posted my personal review as anybody is free to do. You didn't like it, all right. But please let other ppl express their minds without the "you didn't understand how to use your phone" or "go play with super mario". That is so stupid. Even for you.
Hope to not hear anything more from you.

First off, stop telling me what to do.second, I bought omnia 7 because I was unhappy with my galaxy s2. If the case is that we are just noobs that doesn't know how to use the phone, why can't you enlighten us? I would be thrilled if you could make me enjoy my phone. Either that or shut your mouth and let other people have a different opinion.
