Hi Everybody!
I should receive my 2nd hand HTC Diamond Touch today.
With all the mods, hacks and apps on this here forum, I was wondering what was the first thing you changed on your handset?
For me I will be unlocking the device and hoopefully the ROM.
Any suggestions as to what to mod/hack next?
{?
The ROM because the retail ROM sucks!
My New (to me) Diamond
Changed the ROM to shaks 4.30 topaz, installed touch HD weather app, Background4all, Transparent slider and Glass Clock V2. Oh yeah, and the changescreen rotation application for landscape mode.
Look around and experiment with what you like and works best for you. The forum's a wealth of information if you take the time to search!
tried all the newer roms out there, and so far, the quickest bug free ROM ive used is duttys v4....its quick, with loads of memory left...(see ROM link in my sig to go straight to the ROM)
then, i normally change the clock, the top curtain, and then the slider.
I'm currently on

Very stable, I haven't had a problem yet. I've been heavily using it since yesterday and I haven't been able to find a bug or anything that bothers me yet.
You should try it, you will be amazed of how finger friendly it is!
Don't even get me started on how smooth it goes with scrolling!
Thanks for your replies so far!
I didn't get much time to play with my phone today. However, I have managed to de-brand and do a sim unlock. So for now, my spec reads:
ROM VERSION 1.37.405.1 WWE
RADIO VERSION 1.20 oliNex
PROTOCOL VERSION 52.26A.25.09H
I have tried to install a few apps, but failed. The "set up" files are all .XML and seem to open up in my browser????

I think you didn't notice the .xml files are actually within the setup file.
The setups are .CAB files, you simply move them onto the internal storage and execute them within your mobile phone.
Have fun!
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Not sure what I am doing here?
I transfered the programs to the internal storage (my docs). However, there is no .cab file.
When I click on the program file, it either shows me a blank screen with the program name at the top or other folders e.g. open sensors or open GLES.
The programs I am trying to install are:
air horn
Diamond beer
htorch
WiFi monster
Many Thanks

When you download a program for example Diamond Beer (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-diamond-beer.html)
You will download a file called DiamondBeer2Installer-v0_1.cab
That is a CAB file. When you see that you copy it to the internal storage and run it from your mobile phone.
But sometimes (usually when it's made by real developers) you get a executable. Those are either to be run from your pc and with ur mobile phone hooked up using activesync. Or if it gives you an error when trying to execute it from your pc then most likely it's telling you that you aren't running windows mobile (means you're not running it from your mobile phone while you're supposed to), then it's the program itself (the actual and final .exe) and you will have to make a directory on your internal storage yourself and copy the .exe in there (No automated installation involved).
Sorry for the long and maybe senseless story but it's late here and I'm in a hurry.
Enjoy
Hello again and thanks for your patience!
I have downloaded said file. I used winzip to extract, then cut and paste the folder in my "internal storage" on my device.
Inside there are three folders:
_setup (which is the .xml file I was talking about earlier)
Diamon~1.000
Diamon~10001
When I click on the setup file, me device just goes to IE:
file:/internal%20storage/DiamonBeer2Installer-v_1/_setup.xml
???

Hiya,
I have just flashed my htc touch hd, with Duttys 6.1 v4.3 final rom release.
Now I have tried to change the font, taskbar and clock, but after putting the cab files on the storage card, then restarting the device, there is NO change.
Am I able to change and personalise Duttys rom, or am i stuck with the icons he has in the rom..
Many thanks for your help,
Neil
I used to use a dutty rom and it was possible to change the icons.
What did you do to make the changes?
Once you have put these cab files on your SD card you need to open you file explorer on your HD, navigate to where you put the cab files and then click on each to install them.
Sounds like you haven't installed them
Hiya,
Thanks for the replies. I have transferred them from my PC to the storage card, and opened the cab files. Just for some reason, some of the items arent working.
How do I get a weather clock to work. I downloaded one, but it wouldnt install, so just wondering if this rom wont accept them???
Cheers for your help.

Should work on most if not all roms. Have you tried alternative download locations for these apps? What are these apps? It you attach them I can try them out to test. This way we'll know if its your HD or your download app
I actually have two HD, one of them (HD1) is running Miri's rom which I downloaded in early Sep, and I failed to keep the rom now.
But I'm desperate to have the same rom on my HD 2, if there anyway I can duplicate the OS from one onto another? kind of like copy and paste in dos mode?
I've tried to run spirite backup from HD1 to HD2, but it failed to restore the same OS on HD2, particularly the Touchflo settings.
I've tried to copy and paste one of the OS files into another one with win explorer, but i knew that's not going to work, because those system files are in use and cann't be replaced. I also tried to boot in bootloader mode, but then I couldn't figure out where to copy the files as they don't show and disk in windows.
I'm wondering if there's any tools can do the duplicate, or any tools can recognize the phone in bootloader mode and able to copy the internal disk. and my last hope is if I could make my own rom based on my current OS in HD1?
This is a long question.

install the rom which u have on hd1 to hd 2.
take a backup of ur settings of hd1 on ur sd card using sashmi and restore the same on ur hd2.
for cooking ur own roms go thru the threads of the kitchen in the rom development section...
Thanks, guy.
I couldn't get the old rom, the latest version of rom comes with the new icons for touchflo, those colored taps. That's why I'm trying to duplicate the old version OS.
I'm trying Sashimi now, hope it could change the touchflo setting as well.
Otherwise, maybe need to cook the rom.
Will post up if it works.

the problem is I forgot which version I had, Miri update very fast, and I couldn't find the old rom links he put.
I think it was around early September, ard Sep 2, 3, probably.
Don't SPB have some kind of ghosting software for Windows Mobile? SPB Clone I think it's called. Not sure if that will work for what your after.
Hi Guys,
I found the rom, it's V26.3 Premium, there was a mirror links in middle of the post. I digged it out, and then use Sashimi to copy all of the rest setting from HD1 to HD2. cools.
Thanks a lot for all your reply.
Will try the ghost if need next time.

Guys,
I found a new version of the HTC Messaging client version HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20152127_00. It is a part from a new rom version 2015. I have all the files (see attachment), but I don't know how to make a cab file from it. Also I am not sure if all the files are the correct WWE files.
Anybody to help?

these are not WWE
This HTC Messaging Client is from a CHT ROM, right? If that's the case, it might not support other characters than CHT ones! Had such an issue when I tried a SKT-based Messaging Client from Leo_SKT_1.78.911.1 ROM!
I can make a cab for you, but what's news on this version?
New version is MUCH faster... It's now realy usable. Still a lot of bugs while receiviing sms is messaging window.
CAB have proper 409 mui and send button:
Disable Manila > install > reset > Enable Manila
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6780053#post6780053
here the cab!
sorry i don't see the post of krogoth! Choose your cab so
how come the file size is so different. 6.68mb vs 2.32mb

Hum now my cab is about 3.3Mo (i update it (V2)) i use compress and he uses normal!
krogoth's .cab installs on energyRom rhodium, plain 2.5 on 23xxx. still checking features, but seems to be fine so far. I'll report speed after restoring SMS from MyPhone.
G-ThGraf's .cab installs, but does not integrate with NRGZ28's sense.

Thanks for the cab! This is a version without the secure box. Can you please make a cab with the mui for secure box included?
Thanks again, anyway.
I have not tested it yet, but here's HTC Messaging Client v1.8.2016 from the Rom that has Manila 2015 core. I included the 0409 files I use with V1.8.2015. (This is an EXT package is someone wants to create a cab from it)
I also attached the Send key files so you have the send icon, instead of the CHT text where the send icon should be.
i can work on it but i'm curently using manila core 2013
I am desperately waiting for this cab.. Did anyone make a cab out of this..

hey G-ThGraf,
i cant seem to get this to work and i have several questions which i'd really appreciate if you could enlighten me.
1) what is the difference between 2015 and 2016, and why the 1 vs 3 mui files?
2) are the steps to delete and restore messages necessary for the installl to work or are they in place to simply protect ones messages? i ask because i dont care about my messages and it is a bit of a pain to delete, save, restore.
3) regardless of how i attempt to do this i always end up with one of two results:
a) i cannot access my text message application at all
b) i can briefly open the text message app, but it quickly closes and i cannot actually access any messages
if it helps at all:
1) i run spb wms3.5.5 and have sense disabled 100% of the time
2) im on a tmous 2.13 rom, stock.
not sure if there is any further pertinent info but i'd love to get this working and it seems others with my setup have it working.
id really appreciate your feedback.
thanks

UPDATE:
ive made great strides. despite the fact that i never have sense enabled, this is indeed an integral step in the process (otherwise i just got lucky). so here were my steps to success:
1) back up text messages using spb backup
2) permanently delete all messages
3) disable sense (it was already disabled)
4) soft reset
5) install cab (which was transferred to microSD beforehand)
6) press cancel after install to decline restart
7) DID NOT INSTALL THE MUI
8) soft reset
9) enable sense
10) DIDNT BOTHER TO RETRIEVE MY MESSAGES YET
11) Soft reset
12) checked that messaging worked IN sense (and that is was 1.8)
13) DISABLED sense and now this seems to be working perfectly in SPB winmo shell 3.5.5
updates to follow as i progress deeper down the rabbit hole.

I am using DFT StocK Leo ROM, and i used the same APn &MMS settings as i have on my G1. It works fine for sending and receiving MMS, but when receiving they show up blurry. I would really like to keep this ROM since A) everything else works excellent, and B) its my girlfriends phone, and if i have to flash another ROM and delete all her info again she'll probably rip my head off lol. Any help would be appreciated.
i have the same problem everything else works fine on my hd2 leo, i even get speeds of up to 2mbit per second pics recieved are jus blurry, i think it compresses the image when sending, I also have simple mobile, Im running CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD[LEO1024], can sum1 please help, any support on here..... I also want to know how I can flash Sergio's Core Droid Evo Supersonic straight from my Desire Build it only comes with a WM 6.5 installation guide, wut do i have to install WM 6.5 back on my device and flash it the dual boot way, i dont want WM 6.5 but i do want the Core Droid Evo Supersonic, that by far had the best look I've seen from any Android Rom
Change the mms user agent to, for example, n95.
Some roms don't have this option, think it might be cm7 builds.
i have the same issue you tube is no help
I have the same problem also :/ from what i know is that you have to go into the root/system and change the build.prop with another build that can recieve 1024k then go to root/system/customize/CID change default.xml then go to root/system/customize/MNS also change default.xml. So far i have the files but i need help on how i can delete the old files with the new files. everytime i try to copy and paste or delete i get "you cannot paste here (or you cannot delete) because the file is read-only" please help i cant stand the blurry pics on my facebook, contacts, and pictures i receive
ps my phone is rooted
