"Diamond" Digital Clock Install Program?

It seems they are just little number files but they won''t overwrite the existing files that are in the Windows directory.
Anyway I really like the look and wonder if there is a CAB type file that will install and voila, you have the Diamond look digital clock?
Anybody know of such a program?
Or a really simple set of instructions.
I followed the instructions and I can't get it to work.
Or how about a way to get the "Diamond" Digital Clock in to S2U2?
Help... help... help...

Hi Jim,
I was actually looking for quite some time and found a diamond digital clock cab. It was here in XDA but I cant find the thread I found it in (It was in the main hacking and development thread)
I'll just repost the cab file and hope I dont get reemed out. I take NO credit for makng this file what so ever.
I had tried installing it before on my vogue and it wasnt working then I upgraded my rom to 6.1 and figured Id give it a shot and it worked. I dont know if that had anything to do with it. it SHOULD still work in WM6 I just wasnt able to get it to work for some reason.
I think you have to disable HTC home as well too before you install the cab.

Nice find!
When I try to install on 6.1 it says "Installation unsuccessful". Any thoughts?
...Nevermind. For some reason it was copying itself when I put it on the sd card and one of the files was broken.

when you have it running is the clock in h:mm:ss tt format (ie 8:04 pm) or is it in hh:mm:ss tt (08:04 pm) I cant for the life of me get the zero infront of the single digit time (anywhere from 1-9 am or pm). just really erking me thats all. I had only installed this myself last night when I saw this thread asking for it so sort of a coincidence.
Anyway.. yeah let me know how your clock works and if you had to do something to fix it. I went into the regional settings and what not and changed the time format but still didnt change anything even after a reset.

For anyone who's installed the cab I posted and had the same issues I had (the 0 infront of the time (08:43 pm) then heres a quick fix I found in the hacking/development thread in the main forum.
Just copy the file in the zip file to your new HTC Home folder on your phone. Should be /HTCHome, sp right in the phones main directory alone with my documents and program files etc. If when you copy it over to replace the exsiting HH_Home_off. png in the folder it wont work go and disable the HTC Home plugin then copy it. That worked for me. Now I finally have a normal looking clock without always having to have 4 numbers showing.

I just installed and my text messages dont work. any idea?

Installed great! thanx a lot.

Since I installed this I can only select Bakersfield for my weather.
Anyone know a workaround?
Also this plugin severly lags my touch, anyone else?
Thanks.

diamond clock
So does anyone know of a diamond clock that actually flips like the real diamond clock?? All the skins for HTC HC are great but i would love to find something closer to the real deal.

Actually it doesn't lag anymore, but my weather is ONLY Bakersfield.
IS that with everyone else?

I had this same issue... What I had to do was uninstall it.. use the normal HTC home and reselect my city then reload on this updated version. Aparently all you have to do is add the XML of your city somewhere in the registy... I have no idea how so if anyone knows how feel free to let us know.
Since I did the steps above I havnt gone in to "Change city" anymore and it updates my city fine

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked as you said it did. However, when I changed it from Fahrenheit to Celcius thats when it updated to Bakersfield.
I can sort of understand Fahr, but Celcius would be much nicer. I think the benefit outweighs the cost so i'll use canada + fahr . Unless you know how to fix this.

[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.

Dude wrong thread for your request and question, and I didn't make them, the icons and request should be done in the proper thread. Just hit the link and go through them, the cab files are there or PM me, this thread is for something totally different

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.
it dry a lot of memory and if you dont get it still on the background..... is slow to open.
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?

Like your TF3D background... here are some small clocks

Hi,
I was missing some small clocks that do not block the TF3D background too much.
To solve my "problem" I just created two versions in black and white. One with a semi transparent clock background and one without a clock background.
The actual numbers are a little far away from eachother but experimenting getting them closer gave some nasty image conflicts. If anyone has an solution let me know and I update the clock.
If you are looking for any other color let me know and I get it done for you.
*********************
EDIT: 23 Nov 2008
Version 1.1
Available colors in zip:
Black
White
Updates:
Used a bit better readable font
Updated positioning
Fixed Lower Curtain error
To Do
Change distance between numbers
Make Semi Transparent flip smaller

thank you very much

Very nice but...
... I can't get it to work with Sprint theme. Still have the Sprint clock BG and the : between the numbers

hi thanks for ur clock
But I got one problem after installing ur clock, the touch flo bar at the bottom turned into a thinner style after I have installed ur clock. how can i change it to normal style? thanks

The idea of smaller clock is brilliant, but these are just too small

@g0mib0y
Like mentioned in the readme you should use the diamnond config tool from susilange to restore to original files from you rom. If you do a quick search on the forum you should be able to find the tool to restore your TF3D. Before you restore can you post a screenshot for me to see what happened as it works good on my end. I would like to fix it for eveyone.
@jonson10
I guess that it works different for the sprint rom. I will take a look at this and see how others have get it to work for the sprint ROM.
@usper
I'll take a look at making them a little bigger for you

Find the files that are in the zip in your \Windows folder on your device.
Delete them and soft-reset. They will restore from the ROM.

@ dickenz
Thanx for the follow-up. this is indeed the best thing to do when the diamond config does not do the trick. Weird however seeing that the config tool deletes all the manilla files and restarts so it will be reinstalled from the ROM and should solve the problem.
@ jonson10
I'll take an other look at the issue somewhere today. Which clock did you use the clock with the glassclock background or the one without background? Let me know so I can take a better look at it. There are some files in the glassclock BG that could cause this but I need to know for sure you are using this

i like the idea of a smaller clock, but with the border around the clock still being the same size it eliminates any reason i had to download it i dont suppose you could reduce the size of the border around so the calender etc are pushed up more into the center of the screen?

Works fine with original manilla theme

these look really good, but they are too spaced out, is there anyway to get the clock that size but with less space between the numbers?
another idea i have is, if you used the ones with no background and removed the numbers too!!
NOONE has made an invisible clock yet and it would be the best way to get a full wallpaper
i would really like the invisible clock.
would this be possible?
thanks for your help and your small clock <- EDIT i have just realised how bad that sounded lol sorry

i like your clocks however i am having trouble installing it..i am using Resco explorer to copy the files in the windows directory but i get the following error:
First it says that the destination file is in ROM and that i can damage my system if i continue. After i click on yes i get the following:
Cannot move file xxxxxx. The file already exists.
i tried searching for this but i couldnt succeed until now...
cant anyone help?

Created some updates on the Small Clock You can down load version 1.1 from the first post. Update history is also listed there.

Did you setup the resco explorer to overwrite all files? You can do this under Menu\Options\General than under the tab Files check all boxes and select Copy.
Let me know if that did the trick.

thats how it was set up but it didnt want to work..anyway, i used total commander and it worked..

Ok good to see it was solved any way. It is weird as I use the Resco myself and do not have this issue :-S
Anyway it is solved so that is the most important

Really great work!
What I would really love, is the transparrent one, but with white digits insted of black.
Could you do it?
Pretty please!!!

I NEED the Sprint Clock!!!!

Hi guys, i've searched High and low to get the Sprint clock on my fone, i installed TF3d config, but nothin seems to change, i install skins, reset fone and when i swithch it back on, i still get that flip clock, which ahs strted 2 annoy me now. lol
Can anyone tell me how i can change the clock without TF3d Config, or how i can atleast get TF3d to work.
I have the HTC Diamon
Rom Ver: 1.34
Where am i goin wrong.....I NEED THAT CLOCK.

Have u tried the Sprint Clock cab file?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2690232#post2690232
do it like this...
copy the cab file to your phone...
Then click Start->Settings->Today->Objects->Uncheck TouchFLO 3D->Press ok
run the cab file to install the Sprint clock
Maybe it says you need to restart phone, you dont need to but u can do it if it ask u too...
Then click Start->Settings->Today->Objects->check TouchFLO 3D->Press ok
Now u should have the sprint clock

Sprint Clock
Thanks for your response mate, ur great!!!
I installed the clock, and it looks sexy.....But!!,
It freezes the scrolling option through the icons, i cannot use my finger to scroll from home to contacts to messages, nothing can be selected, it just freezes on the home page and the clock time doesn't change. How do i install it so it works perfectly.
Thanks in advance for any assistance guys.

Same problem here (TF3D freezes when I tap a tab instead of scrolling to it). Anyone else experiencing this? It started after I installed the Sprint clock.

Anyone have the sprint icons? LOVE THEM, i just can't find them

Hi im a little confused on how to use this app....where do i navigate the application to? Because when i connect the diamond via active syn it does not display the windows folder...thanks.

Apologies for the bump, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the frequent freezes with both the Sprint clock on the regular TF3D and the Sprint TF3D? (ROM: Elite 2.0) Anyone found any solutions yet?

Solution found
Hey White Pawn, i found a solution but it involves flashing your diamond, so be very careful, and think if it's wrth it, i done it and was very happily enjoyin the sprint theme till i got bored. Flash ur Device to rom 1.93 i believe and the rest, then install TF3D config and change the theme. Some have been warned not to use TF3D on their Devices, so be warned also, i did it and it worked fine for me, but it may have different results fr u.

o.k so maybe your trying to be quick and clever but in the process your coming off a bit silly. Read what you've typed, and now repeat the words fone and phone back to yourself, they both sound the same phonetically, So I believe what you have a problem with, is the way in which the word phone was spelt, NOT how it sounds, because there is no difference. Try again teacher. LOL, LOL. This is my first and final response on this very trivial matter, i don't even understand why you felt the need to even comment.

Alarm none functioning after Vovichek_Jamrecords_20shcut_m2525.cab

Noticed this after updating to official WWE 3.14.
The Alarm Clock shortcut on the Home Tab stops working with the Vovichek cab installed.
This is a real pain cos I really would like more than the stock 9 quick-links, so if anyone knows a fix for this, or another simple method (reg-hack) to increase quick-links it would be great.
I've already tried Co0kie.HomeTab_v2.0.0.cab, but do not want the other stuff it installs.
Thanks.

Go to the link below and check out #22 in the list I think this is what you are looking for.
A little looking around on your own would have found this though as this is a stickie in the HD2 Windows Mobile Q&A and General forum.

That cab has been around for a looong loooong time and was created from an outdated version of manila which is probably why its causing issues.
I recall having problems with that cab myself a while ago. If you find after uninstalling it that your alarm still does not work, you may need to hard reset.
The tip suggested by T-Macgnolia should solve your problem though.
If not, even though you may not like the way CHT makes your home screen look by default, it is possible to change the settings to make your home screen look completely like a stock rom but with more quicklinks.
Personally I cant understand how anyone can use manila without CHT
Thats just me though.... Im a fanboy
