HTC - Diamond Pack (New Version) [2008-08-01]

This is NOT developed by me ...
ALL the gredits and the THANKS goes to people who developed each idea.
I'm just lazy and I didn't want to install separated utilities every time I Hard-Reset
or flash with a new ROM my Cruise.
I just wanted to have the look of Diamond but NOT to make my Cruise SLOW.
These programs ONLY changes the look of Cruise and makes it look like Diamond.
REMEMBER in each case you must make a BACKUP first.

COPY the files with TotalCommander from Device\Program Files\HTC Home ALL files to Device\Windows, Remember to close\disable the HTC Home PlugIn from Start\Settings\Today. Soft reset and enable it again.

Link still alive!
Hey Mino!
I`ve just loaded the cab and all works fine!
Thx Fear!!
No, I loaded it from the link, shown in the thread

load on rapidshare?

don't forget comm manager

I tried the version-2 and it failed with the following error!!
Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
Any idea!!
and those who are already using this, can please post some screen shots here or let me know whether it has got any impact on the performance?
Thanks.

This cab has nothing to do with pda model. This is a collection of tools that changes the skins in some tools and makes the pda looks like HTC Diamond.
As I said to my first post because I test from all the developers the ROMS they developed I wanted a cab file to install all the apps after a flash or a hard reset.
Thats all.

I have a slight problem with the Calculator skin. If I try to start the Calculator, it says 'Error. Cannot load the skin file: \Windows\SpbCalc_P.gif'
SpbCalc_P.gif doesn't exist, but the SpbCalc_p.png does! What should I do?
edit: Found it: \HKCU\Software\Spb Software House\Spb Calculator - key FileType: i changed it from gif to png.

Another problem...
This dialer doesn't support smart dialing, neither enables the user to call recently called number. So I uninstalled it... Now there is no HTC home screen and the calculator cannot be reinstalled (the skin is still somewhere installed).

Survey: Your finger friendly combo

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask you a question. In an attempt to create a new design style (which will not be iPhone-like or any other-like) for xda I would like you to answer me:
What is your finger-friendly combo applications?
For example, my finger-friendly combo is:
PointUI + ContactCM + Spb Time
Of course, it would be great if they are customizable (although I can't think of one that isn't).
Also, any suggestions for an interesting design style would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. xda-developers community is the reason my next PDA will definitely be HTC, so keep up the great work!

My Picks
My Favs are:
- Opera 9.5
- SPB Mobile Shell
- SMS Chat
- Fun Contact
- S2P, S2U2 and yup S2V

Hi!!
I think that if you want some flexibility in customization and also make your design free to use you should use this:
- Today screen: XIAMultitheme, rltoday + UL or why not... ThrottleLauncher
- Player: S2P without any doubts.
- Calendar: Thumbcal
I don't use any other kind of app's but there are a lot there like S2U2 that also can be interesting .
I know this will look like I'm doing some publicity of my app... but remember I'm just another XDA member, why wouldn't I share my opinion...
Hope this helps

iContact definately won over PocketCM. I'm using Throttle Launcher now with a diamond theme, which works pretty well. Obviously S2P for music.

Is opera finger-friendly? I didn't know! Nice!

YEP !! Opera 9.5 is FF...u can scroll the pages just Piscel Browser

My combo:
PointUI 1.51a
S2U2 + S2P + S2V
Iphone dialer (From DxC)
Icontact (Be5) + Diamond theme
ThumbCal
Opera Mini 4.1
TouchPal
Opera mini 4.1 with esmertec jbed is good enough for my web browsing needs. Opera mobile 9.5 just seems to take too much resource that my puny tmobile wing wasn't able to provide.
I also use total commander with large icon for file browsing, but it's not so finger friendly so I still need to use d-pad.
Quick menu is good when used with d-pad and very powerful. It compensates the weakness of pointui IMHO, such as fast task switch, "OK" to close program, handles settings better and easier access to programs menu.

iContact
Opera 9.5
HTC ActionScreen
S2U2
S2P
HTC Cube
HTC Camera Album
ThumbCal
FTouchFlo..if it counts

Mine (slightly biased)
FSD - Mine!
S2U2, S2P and S2V
iContact
ThumbCal
Opera 9.5
Scroll Launcher - Mine again
Some random never to be released apps of my own that have big icons etc.
PointUI is also good, but is a memory hog!

PocketCM 0.24 with the original black skin
Ultimatelauncher becuz its really customizable
TL ofcourse.... one of the best apps i've ever seen
opera 9.5
s2u2,s2v,s2p
touchpal3.5

S2P and S2V
iContact Be5.1 diamond theme
ThumbCal 1.0.4
Netfront 3.5
UltimateLaunch,rlToday,WeatherPanel with diamond theme

How is thumbcal 1.04 compared to 0.51? I found s.l.i hasn't released it yet...

- Today screen: PocketPlus, rlToday, phoneAlarm
- MortButtons
- PocketCM
- PCM keyboard
- ThumbCal

for me
S2U2
UL + Batterystatus
S2P, S2V
PocketCM
ThumbCal
Opera 9.5
SPBPhoneSuite

for me:
UL
S2...all
iContact be5
Thumbcal
Opera Mini 4.1
Resco Exp. 7.03
PocketCM Keyboard 14

For me its a few apps that are not developed on XDA
Winterface 1.01 (Iphone like with unlocker)
Fun Contact 2.15 (The best hands down contact manager)
Sms-Chat 1.1
Eyephoto 1.1
PCMKeyboard Iphone Skin
Manilla Black Dialer V2
S2U2- unlocker turned off, I just like the touch answer keys
S2P- Seriously, is there any better ?
I found the Vito applications to be very low on memory and absolutely brilliant for a touch phone. Just no customization
Edit: after reading the posts I tried out Resco Explorer 2008 and its great! Got the version along with the Registry editor. PERFECT!

I've made a package (originally for the Touch HD) to replace all Windows Mobile application with fingerfriendly ones.
Watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg2XlNNt3vE
You can download it there:
http://rapidshare.com/files/186097310/Touch_HD_UI_Package.zip
Additional application you might like:
FingerMenu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459125
Some applications are included only as VGA versions (like iContact).

iContactBE
ThrottleLauncher or HTC Home(or are we too advanced for that now )
Opera 9.5
S2U2, S2P, S2V
Opal Keyboard
ThumbCal
HTC Dialer

For me:
M2D- convenient, stylish, stable, ability to preview (long) or view (short) SMS + it's rock stable.
Thumbcal- good and real thumbfriendly. (hate the black digits for time setting screen; too hard to se in glare of sunlight)
Icontact BE- Nice and friendly.

I've looked around and haven't seen any other examples of the diamond theme with the style of buttons you have, is this just an option within the home customizer? Very nice looking by the way!
