Some of the buttons didn't work until I edited the .ini file enclosed but otherwise looks cool and works nice esp the lock/unlock slide thing.
UPDATE INFO:
Click this link for a VERY cool rewrite of this application;

Nice work!!!!!!!

great find! i was hoping this would show up when i first saw the video. I got it loaded and it's pretty nice to work with. One question so far....where is the comm manager located on the 8525. Im trying to find the path so i can link the settings button to it but i cannot find it. Thanks!
Edit: This is a little bigger issue for me, my clock on the device it self it correct but in the iphone launcher app it is 4 hours ahead. How and hell do i fix this? Any help is appreciated

How did you edit the .ini file?

^^^ Same question here.
I have no issue updating. I just don't know what to do.
I downloaded and will run the file. I will take a closer look.
PS: WICKED FIND! I was starting to think that it was lost to us.

Connected the phone via activesync and copied the file to my pc. Then I can edit with notepad by right click - open with etc. If that's not working for you drag the file and drop it onto a notepad icon

I do not know how to do that, but I managed to map hardware button to slide.exe. To do that you have to create a link to it (for example to programs folder). Then you can map this link via Settings >> Buttons. Only issue I am having is that the time is lagging two hours on Slider screen.

Any ideas yet on how to get the time in the the launcher program to sync with the phone itself? Mine is still running 4 hours ahead.

Just a guess - I don't have the application installed and haven't had that program but your phone has to clock settings Home -> Visting. Maybe your phone is accidentally set to Visiting clock and the home clock is off by a bit and the applications are pulling the time from the Home clock? It's a shot in the dark guess but worth a shot!

Well

Thanks for the reply that was actually the first thing that i checked when i noticed the problem

Clock Off
Best guess I can give is that the time isn't being adjusted for time zone. Mine is 5 hours ahead and I am in US Central time zone (GMT -6) so it is close to Greenwich mean time.
I would try to fix this myself since the source is provided but I need a developers kit and a compiler...
Edited:
Actually if I remember correctly (big IF) daylight savings time is a US thing so with DST right now that would put the offset right at GMT.

anybody figure out how to fix the timing issue

[APP] FEWidgets (Omnia like widgets, need it done VGA)

This is an app that puts widgets like the Omnia on the today screen. The only issue is that it doesn't support VGA yet (hence the reason for the post). I used SecondToday to get another today screen, loaded FEWidgets, and mapped the top volume key to go back and forth between TF3D and the today screen with FEWidgets. It worked liked a charm, with no lag or hesitation. The widgets worked fine by controlling comm devices like bluetooth and WIFI. The only thing you may have to change is the wallpaper in the programs folder in order to get VGA (480x640) wallpaper to cover the whole screen (once you get them in the folder there is actually a widget you can change them with). FEWidget does use the entire screen, so other today screen plugins can not be used. The only problem is the widgets are small (QVGA), and looking to you guys to find a solution. I haven't had a chance to look at the files, but I will to see if the widget icons can be manipulated. It is damn cool though. A simple button press takes you to another screen with widgets!!!!! The Diamond engine handles it so well, it should have been intergrated. Here is the link to the thread, and all credit goes to nicodega for an awsome app.

hi all,
i am running the last version of this great application on my Diamond.
it seems to be fine and fast, remap the left soft key in TF3D et voila'.
many thanks to the developer.

yes, you are right, it works!!
not so smooth but it´s nice to play with!

hi guys,
frankly speaking, this application is nice to see but useless.

anyway, thanks for sharing.

ok so I can not find this mod mentioned in the thread you posted, nor can I find it via search which more or less leaves me no chance as to ask you again in the wrong thread if you could point me to the mod or the file to get those icons changed.
Thank you in advance and sorry, I do know its the wrong thread. As it should be a simple question to answer though I would highly appreciate a hint
cheers

Just tried it out.. And it is really nice! However.. It is pretty laggy..
Have a look at this vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doOLS2oPTGY
How have they made it so fast and smooth? And there is more widgets there.. Maybe the got a newer version ?
Oh and maybe i have gotten this wrong, but as i have understood this, you guys have takin this today plugin out of the omnia right?

well thats str8 up on the omnia... we are dealing with porting it do a different resolution... i'm not too sure why else it may be lagging but i'm sure it will be smoothed out in the coming releases.
One thing i really like is the screen rotation of the omnia in that video... is that impossible to get for our diamonds?

thks but don't work on my diamond

Does anyone know how to assign specific buttons to toggle this in SecondToday? All I see is right and left softkey and neither of them seem to work anyway. Ideally I'd like the Home key to toggle between TF3D and FEWidgets.
Secondly, if I run the FEWidgets alone I can move them around etc. but if it's loaded through SecondToday I cannot, is there a way to fix this?

You want to find the S2U2 cab it has the slide unlock with the flower....

yes i hate the fish, iv even tried adding my own pick but all are to big or too small cause im not sure of the size the image has to be in order to fit right

S2U2 comes with the flower pic by default...?

thanks a lot exactly what i was looking for now i can delete the 15 fish slide 2 unlock cabs lol
for future refernce what size image file would i be using if i want to add my own wallpaper in the slide2unlock, anyone know

the portrait one has to be 240x320...and if you dont know how to change ur pic this is what you do....connect your phone to ur computer...then go on the phone files, click on program files, s2u2, gfx, then go down till you see a jpg pic....there should be 2 of em....one will say wallpaper.jpg and another that says wallpaperL.jpg the wallpaperL one is the landscape one (sideways). to change the picture u have to delete the old ones and put it new ones...make shure u replace them with the same size pics. and rename them both to wallpaper.jpg and wallpaperL.jpg hope this helps!

yes it helped, i ahd changed background before but was using the wrong size pics so now i can have the wallpaper i want, thanks so much

So how do you change the time format to 12hr?

I think the S2U2 has it set to display whatever format you have your phone time set at. I used that a lot before but it began bogging my fone down and sometimes had trouble answering call but overall pretty good app. www.Freewarepocketpc.net has a lot of good things for beginners and typically has reference pics/ (^.^)

How to change lock screen image

I know JMZ made an awesome lockscreen changer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523812) but it isn't playing nice with my setup and keeps crashing so after trying it long enough, I've given up on the app.
Can someone tell me how to manually change the lockscreen image? Where do I place my image/name it and what resolution, etc should it be? Thanks.

go to Start>Settings>Today. at the bottom. place a check inside the box. andmap the background you want to use.

The Program he used makes the cab makes the image a manila file. I would suggest ask the OP for the original image.

Alternative method
Hi all
An alternative method is to create an image file you want to use for your today and lock screen background. The format is .jpg. The portrait should be named:
stwater_480_800.jpg
and the Landscape named:
stwater_800_480.jpg
Copy these to a convenient folder on your device, e.g. My Documents. Then, using a more powerful file manager, e.g Total Commander, copy them to your \Windows folder, overwriting if prompted.
Cheers

Home Screen/Lock Screen Merge?
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if you can set the home background image (in TF3D2) and the image for the lockscreen simultaneously? In other words, can you update both images at once (preferably by selecting it from the "Settings" tab in TF3D2)? Is there a .CAB of some sort? ANY help would be appreciated. ANY help at all!
Thanks a bunch!

Clock has changed from digital to analog

Hello all,
The clock on my HD2, which replaces the battery icon when using an application was originally digital, i dont know what i have done (if anything) which has turned it to analog.
It is very difficult due to the size to read this analog version, can anyone on here tell me a way to change this back to digital?

At one time if you hold down the clock up top on the today screen you could choose digital or analogue, maybe you still can and you changed it by accident. I have a task manager getting in my way to test it at the moment.

not working
Hi mate thanks fir the advice but its not letting me do anything like that.
I have tried looking at all the settings to do with time but still haven't been able to find anything, not sure how it could have happened in the first place.
I take it by the lack of interest no one else is having this problem.

U can change your clock back to digital from the following registry key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\AnalogClock
Change the value from 1 to 0... That should solve your issue.

Hey thanks for that i will give it a try, don't really have any registry editors so will have to get one.
Any ideas on how or why this has happened?

Hey, just gave it a try and it works a charm, needs a reset after changing the code but apart from that thats it.
Thanks alot for the help.
