Hello everyone.
Recently i updated my HTC Touch Diamond to WM 6.5. Everything installed just the way it supposed to have. But i got 2 issues which makes me wanna come back to my old rom.
Previously i got old 1.93.479.3 stock rom but i needed to install it because i bough my phone from guy in sweden (im from poland) and needed rom in my native language.
To update i used Windows Revolution Manila 2.1 Edition 1.1A (23017) by mike1986 which had both windows mobile 6.5 and TF3d 2.1. And generally i love my new rom. Exception is 2 things:
1. What i cannot digest is the dialer. I just dont like. It is tachi's dialer with black skin on it. I would like to go back to my stock Diamond dialer (if it possible with the slider).
Dont get me wrong. Im not the type of guy who writes complain and wait for ready answer. I tried to make it on my own for 2 days now. I managed to change tachi's skin to white and it looked much better but to look great i need old white one. I found 3 cabs with that but none of that actually made things better (installed all: Diamond_PhoneCanvas_full_Eng_without_battery_icon.cab , xmatrix_PhoneDialerBlackS2A.cab. and Diamond_PhoneCanvas_Slide.cab - dont remember from where on xda i get it - sorry).
When i install any of them, tachi is gone but instead getting my stock diamond dialer i get wm dialer but without any skin - jsut black and white. When i choose to not use HTC dialer i get wm dialer again but with skin on it.
Dunno what im doing wrong but it is possibility that this is it - im a lumberjack not a telephone soft expert.
2. Dont know why, dont know how but in my new soft keyboard choosing is limited to only 1 position. I cant change keyboard layout in fly. Instead i need to run some .cab to which shortcut i have in settings area. Can i do something about it? I found already intelwrite for my new windows mobile but sometimes i need to change layout to phone because it is hard holding something (driving wheel or something else).
I wont bother u any more and im just counting that u will find a little time to help me. Thanks in advance.

Just upgraded to Sprint 6.1 Rom on my vogue and lost my dialer, anyone know where I can find it (CAB) again? I really dont like the new one since there is no "talk" button. Any help would be great. Thanks.
id be willing to bet google knows where that dialer is
Been looking for awhile now, maybe Google doesnt like me.... Thanks though.
Use the ppcgeeks kitchen, make yourself your own rom, unlock your device, put the vogue dialer in that ROM, flash and feel accomplished
ppckitchen.org
I'm not sure what is the name of the dialer though but it's included in open touch v4 rom for xda herald:

Frankly I really hated this dialer. The number buttons are small and very unresponsive. The color is not as pleasing. I recommend the iphone dialer of the newer minimal dialer.
that is actually the wm6 default dialer. I remember seeing a cab of it somewhere around here (for the wm5 folks)
This may be the cab you are looking for. From WM5.
I had to scout around and find it when i upgraded to WM6.
Cheers.
make the following edit in your registry and soft reset.
hklm\security\phone\skin\enabled = 0
thanks "black_mamba" @ ppcgeeks.
hi, I'm Ed, and ive got a big problem with my htc touch 3g, and i think its time to sort it out. Okay, my touch 3g is on orange (contract) and obviously i wanted the original touchflo 2d on it (Black and Blue-ish kind of theme) but, instead it gave me two crap choices of ORANGE BRANDED themes, the really awfull orange(TM) homescreen theme, or just a wierd black-on-white version of touchflo 2d. I chose the wierd touchflo, but honestly, i dont want either. I just want atleast the ORIGINAL M2D THEME, or the choice for others. Ive been trying to resolve this problem by using numerous options, ive downloaded Manilla 2D customizer, downloaded soo many themes (atleast 7 now) and none of them work, there is alway some problem with it, Ive tried nearly every recomended option. All I want, is to be able to just have a normal htc touch 3g software on it with a normal touchflo on it. I REALLY want to get rid of this orange(TM) branded stuff on it, (including that stupid 'unique manager') on it. Please, is there anybody that understands my problem, and can give me a step-by-step guide on how to do it. Please reply (PLEASE)
Hi Ed,
Though i don't have an Orange brand Jade i understand your problem; there are several threads on this forum about it.
If you really wanna get rid of all the orange stuff, there's no other choice i guess then to unlock your phone (which is not sim unlock) using HardSPL s you can flash another ROM.
Put on your reading glasses and start over here:

hope it works out for ya

Out of curiosity, how different is Orange TF from the default TF (the blue background). Are the tabs different, what else is different. Any screen shot ? (Need to understand the situation before offering useful assistance)
There are two options for TF with orange customers. One is basicaly the normal Touch Flo with orange's background on the home page, and a few different tabs (an "Orange World" on and a few others missing, Google Maps at least iirc). The other is one similar to other, older Orange phones, with a shortcut menu on the home screen, which I hate and so didn't actualy use and cant tell you much about.
Ed, if you just want the normal touchflo I definatly saw an option to change it before i flashed mine, I think it was a program in the Start > Programs screen just called "Change Orange Screen" or something similar.
the main reason i unlocked the phone (HSPL) and flashed the WM6.5 overloaded ROM was to get away from the Orange crap too!
They have seriously messed with the network/internet side of things... i was horrified to see i could not connect to the interent with Wifi... i managed to get it to do it... but it took some messing about and its a case of forcing it.. and it not really liking it!
with this overloaded rom and the touch flow running (instead of windows default like i did have lol) i think its great! Its really built around Wifi and then using Hspda or what ever it is as a second option if wifi's not available! well worth re-flashing too!
i just want to know how i change the order of the icons at the bottom... messages, email, footprint etc
dont really see what foot print is tbh haha!
Do a hard reset then soft reset before the phone can customize. All the orange stuff is loaded after the main hard reset
Has anyone tried to install the Dusk theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=518479 at all?
I'm after a minimalistic black theme and this one looks great - but once installed TF3D wont start! Been chatting to the developer of the theme but no luck as yet!
Cheers,
J.
i got mine working on TP2, but i never liked it. Tried to uninstall it and that never worked, so i had to hard reset. i wont install any themes until we get a program like cusomiser for diamond that can put back the original theme easy, and works with theme files.
What did you do to get it working - anything special at all?
Can you remember which Dusk version you installed?
J.
Just try the Manila 2.0/2.1 version!
yeah
i believe thats the version i tried.
Nothing special happened, no troublesome first steps, jest click the cab once.
I couldnt stand how it overshadowed the upper part of the icons lol.
I almost bit off my tongue when i realised i had to hard reset to get it away .
oh well, no themes for me until and IF we get the manila customizer.
The themes that are out for anything other then the true Rhodium will fail to work properly as usual there have been a few changes made to the software that are not cross platform specific the custom Naughty By Nature theme I built I orignally started on the HD running a TP2 interface it worked perfect on that but when I got the TP2 and loaded this theme it failed... I had to redo about 60% of my theme to make it work correctly on the TP2. You can experiment with small changes such as the icons and such but for now I think I have the only working fully custom theme for the Stock Pro2.
If you would like to see it go check out facebook/windowsmobile and look at the videos posted there.
it would be fantastic to have that theme ported over to the TP2.
although it might be a bad idea with 6.5 coming soon(ish) and whatever changes that brings to Touchflo.
doesnt seem to do anything on the mogul/titan//6800
Tilt 2
I don't know much about any of this stuff but i've been tinkering with my new Tilt2 phone from At&t and I've gotten most of the dusk themed stuff to work using .cab files. I however can't get the tf3d to start for the life of me. been looking for fixes everywhere help me? I got my everything but that and the changing background of all tabs fixed up - still looking for the one that used to work on my pure.
Hiya Guys, I've recently installed HSPL on my HD2 and i've tried a couple of different ROMs, so far i've realised i'm not a big fan of the graphical soft keys, much prefer the text ones!
I'm looking for a little but of advice. I am looking for a ROM which is close to stock but does not have HTC messaging as i am fed up of the SMS problems.
Which ROMS do not have the HTC messaging? I know people dont like reccomending ROMs and i am happy to try any/all, i just cant find them!
Thanks,
Martyn
dont know if theres a rom without manila sms. i know dutty made one for hd, but i dont know if he has one for hd2. Did you search for one? If you cant find one when you search, then prob there isnt one out there.
Take a look at Freyberry's ROMS. IIRC he has a version that may be what you are looking for.
WB
After the latest SMS hot fix. I am running problem free with my messaging (at least as far as i have noticed lol)
I tried all the patches but still had the issue, if anything it seemed worse for me!
the one I am running at the moment is Miris XtraLite which would be perfect, except i prefer to just have the text icons for the softkeys whereas this has the windows logo and rounded icons.
Can i just change these icons somehow?
Has anyone come across a working Dusk dialer for an ATT Tilt 2? Stock TF3D 2.1.191... Windows 6.5 prof. build 21849.5.0.63
Yeah I know, but I am not ready to flash a new ROM yet, I don't need to carry around a brick until I can get it fixed. Thanks since it is only this site that has kept me from hating this phone. Why have so much potential, and yet not give your customers the key?? I'll never understand. In advance thanks

I did port over the dusk dialer for the att dialer. ( check my sig for link) It has caused some odd issues for others but works for alot of people. If you could try it and let me know.
I tried..I tried
Oh I tried it, but it did exactly the same thing as the dialers on this page though in a little different way. I have the exact setup as some of the other users that posted that they did not get it to work. It froze me out of TF3D, so I am not sure what to do. I have all of the rest of Dusk working with the exception of the shutdown screen. Kind of sucks. I should say that it did sort of work, but when I dialed (b4 it froze) the numbers were not those dialed.
I would be happy to reinstall it if you want a more specific breakdown of what occurred. Just say the word

give me some time today and ill dump the att stock rom again and use those dll to make the cab. I am not sure why it is causes issues on the stock roms.
Hey thanks for the help and take whatever time you need. I was sick of that blue themed garbage I got with my phone almost as soon as I pulled it out of the box. I had originally purchased a Samsung Solstice, but it was too girly, not heavy enough and I didn't like how the touchscreen felt so I upgraded to a Tilt2 and was shocked that I couldn't even change the color of the huge clock they put on the home screen whereas with the Solstice you could change most of it. Anyway thanks for your time
to be honest with you i would flash a custom rom nerv666999. i tried the dusk them with my tilt2 on the stock rom and it wasn't that great. i flashed to one of twopumpchump's roms from this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576361im using the TPC PRO Series v4 Standard with HTC 3G DIALER(manila 2.1 only) and i love it. after flash i have 248mb of storage, 104mb of program memory and only uses like 50% of the memory at the home tab with manila running. also this rom is sense 2.1 manila not touchflow 3d. has the weather on the clock. the dusk theme works great with it and the 3g dusk dialer works just fine. trust me, you'll never use all of that att crap they fill the phone up with
Maybe I will take the plunge and do it, but shouldn't I use the HardSPL first prior to flashing the new ROM? It just seems hard to take any directions verbatim with so many variations of unit. Might be same hardware, but running different software. It's one of the things I hated about the Tilt 2 when I first bought it. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Between HTC, Microsoft and ATT it is all just too many competing interests. Thanks for the input I will check it out. One question though, if you were going to flash your ROM why not do it with 2.5 or something more than the 2.1?
