"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

I'm working with nicodega to get this perfected on the Diamond.

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.

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

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?

YouTube Panel

Hi,
Here it is, the Youtube Panel!
If you want to use it, first you have to install Youtube of zenkinz:
zenkinz said:
I think I may have found the fix. It's a combination of registry plus system files.
If anybody has done his/her research in this area, please share as well.
Otherwise, I will test out further before sharing the fix.
Update 11/12/2008:
Minor update to the CAB, CAB no longer hard code to \Windows directory, but I have not tried if it works on storage card.
The cab file can be found here
Update 26/11/2008:
I have created a patch CAB to restore the 8 system files that were overwritten by the original Youtube CAB. This is probably the last resort before having to hard reset to get Youtube working (if you had previously installed Youtube before)
Update 18/11/2008:
I have created a patch CAB, if you do not wish to hard-reset your Xperia to install the X1i-Youtube.cab. But let me know if it works for you, because while this patch CAB does correct the problematic registry entries, it does not correct the 8 system files that the original youtube CAB has overwritten.
Update 17/11/2008:
Build a CAB that works fine after I hard reset my phone (after umpteen times of hard reset!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now you install the YouTube.cab!
At least you can choose the Youtube Panel normally in the Panel display.

Nice work.. But I'm having trouble getting to work. Can you specify exactly which files to install and in what order.
The panel loads, it says "opening" at the bottom for a few seconds and then the desktop goes all white. The taskbar and bottom bar are still visible so it's not a system hang or anything. I just think I may have missed to install something.

You have to install first the Youtube file of zenkinz!
You have to instal it on the device not on the storage card.
And you have to change the youtube.409.mui to your countrycode (for example germany = youtube.407.mui).
You find this file in the windows directory!
Then you install the panel and it is running for me!
I hope it works for you, too!

Thanks, works great you´re the man!

The official youtube panel is not far away anyway.

Which official youtube panel?

at 0:45 there's a youtube panel.
Not sure if that proves a youtube panel is in the making though.. Could be just for illustration purposes.

There will almost certainly be an official Youtube Panel soon. Youtube is owned by Google, who own a rival OS, but this hasn't stopped them making apps for other mobile OSs.

False advertising! Since when does the X1 perform THAT smoothly???

Question:
I have the youtube program installed and works great. What does the other youtube.CAB do? just turn it into a panel?
or does it add something worthy by turning it into a panel?
Just asking cuz i dont need to turn it into a panel if the app works just fine.
Thanks btw.

1. It loads the panel > starts the youtube app.
2a. If you close the youtube app, you get a blank panel.
2b. If you hit the X-panel button, the youtube app keeps running and you go to the panel page.

Is there anyway to update the cab so that youtube automatically quits when you change panels?

When i run the panel it's keep white...
I can't find the youtube.409.mui and i don't know the countrycode for france . I've already installed the first cab...
help plz
[EDIT] no its ok now... Work like a charm

Great panel thanks!

Noob question: How do you edit the .mui file ? I tried with ActiveSync but it doesn't let me do it.

YOu only have to rename it! In the windows directory...

Quick question.
The youtube app referenced on post 1 works great, apart from the annoying 1 pixel white border left and bottom on full screen (on the X1).
Does this panel display version fix that?

Freakin Awesome.. Works great!! thanks guys!

xperia youtube panel
heey
i"ve got the same problem with that white screen
and i did first instal the zenkins and then the panel but i can't find where i can chance my countrycode ( netherlands)

I forgot to change the code and installed both .cab files. Youtube panel is working but when I select a video it just stays on the 'connecting' screen after turning to landscape mode.
Is this because I didn't rename that file?
If so, anyone have a dummies guide to changing it to the UK code?
Thanks
A X1 noob..

[SOLVED][REQ] TF3D Modifications, 2 Tabs and Comm Manager

I have searched the site for the modifications that I am after, but cannot quite find what i want for my Touch Pro.
1. Calendar tab on the TF3D menu
2. Modify existing Internet tab to display the coloured 'globe' - currently just a list of favourites.
3. Modified comm manager (keeping existing icons) so that 'switches' are htc green and not red and the highlight focus is htc green and not vodafone red.
4. I think it's the *.tsk theme to change so that highlight focus is htc green and not vodafone red on enlarged menus but grey else where retaining the black bars top and bottom with white text.
I am currently using the LantisOS TF3D with HD contacts (cfc compressed) - have tried installing other 'fixes' to give the calendar tab but it tries to over write the contacts and history tab which I already have and screws it up. I have also tried various other methods of getting what I want, see here
I do not want to change the ROM for various reasons so I am offering beer money or more to whoever wants to take this on.
OS details;
6.1 Pro 5.2.19965 (Build 19965.1.2.3)
ROM: 1.90.161.5 WWE
ROM Date: 09/03/08
Radio: 1.02.25.19
Protocol: 52.33.25.17U
TF3D: Version 3.0 (Build 29946) 1.2.34837.3_1813.6

1. Have you tried the calendar tab over here? Read through the posts, there are a few hints and tips to be found there...
2. Can't help you out here
3. Check out this thread, I guess that'll answer your question.
4. See if this also changes with the fix in question 3.

Hadn't seen that!
Ok, have tried to manually back up the manila files and replace them, can't seem to do it in total commander, even if I change all the file attributes, won't let me copy and replace.

Ok, I have got the calendar tab working, credit due to those who have worked on it However, it doesn't link to my actual calendar and you can't touch any of the dates to bring it up?

I think I'm pretty much there on the green highlight in the comm manager, just 4 *.png files to edit.
Still stuck on the the other issues. So any help much appreciated.

Am almost to the point of giving up as I can't even change the png files, oh well.
Offer still stands if anyone is interested, am happy to pay someone for the modifications that I'm after.
Thanks.

Thanks for your help chap, sorted out the colours on the comm manager here
Decided I'm not too fussed about the Calendar tab, no-one seems interested in helping out on that front as it would seem that my TF3D is all a bit 'old hat'.
Still need some help on the Internet tab though

I can put a cab file together if anyone would be kind enough to let me know which files I need for the coloured globe internet tab.
Thanks.

Sorted out most stuff, the Internet tab was the easist, didn't realise that i just needed to mod the InternetPortal-en-gb.xml file.
Now displays exactly what I want.
Still working on the calendar tab and have changed my tf3d to 12aon's full manilla rether that the CFC version as a lot of stuff like the clocks don't quite work properly with it. Also modding for the call history tab too.

Good to hear you're getting somewhere Not much is happening with the calendar tab, unfortunately... I guess you'll have to upgrade to some kind of cooked TF3D2 to get more functionality...

G-Alarm Link on Manila Sense 2.5 Home Tab

I've modified the manila in 2.5 home tab to start G-Alarm directly from the home tab alarm icon. I also have set up a softkey link on the alarm clock tab as well.
It assumes that you have G-Alarm loaded in main memory at \Program Files\ageye\G-Alarm. Otherwise this won't work.
I've only tried this on my VGA fuze.

Dang! I looked when I was making a list of things to modify and didn't see anything. I had made my own modification for Manila 2.1 so it was easy to do it again.

don't worry, it isn't a big deal !
Thanks a lot for sharing anyway

I can't get the other program in the above link to work so I installed yours on my Touch HD; It does work, but the button is smaller than it's supposed to be; part of where the button used to be is now gone

Thanks All have been looking for this all night

It's because this is based on LUA script for older 2.5 versions. From 1922 up (more or less, can't remember exactly), you need to remove two lines from script (begin with AlarmBackground...) and compile it. I suggest you take a look at 12aon's thread (mentioned by hanackin on second post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596079) there're some solutions there in the end of the thread for already compiled and CABbed installs.
I tweaked mine myself, but I have it installed on a different path, so it wouldn't help you out... sorry.

Will this work with M2D?

Working great on my HD2, Thanks !

hm but it doesnt shows that alarm is on on home tab...how to change that?
