i want to really pimp out my phone but as keep reading through all the threads I end up being confused. cab files, zip files, TF3D config, clocks. what and where do i start and how do i install these files. let me know what do i need to post to help me do all of these mods.
help will be greatly appreciated!!
fottenlahi the only way is to learn is read the post's cause the instructions are really simple enough I was a noob once but I read read and read and learnt how to do the basic stuff....
as whitefalcon says, you have to read, try, hard reset if needed and learn.
You will get a hold of it quite fast.
To answer quickly :
-zip files can be opened on the ppc like on a desktop
-cab files are like the install files of your desktop, copy theme to the ppc click on theme and they insatll a programme.
-TF3D config allows you to tweak the touchflo 3D (change tabs order, remove tabs...)
- clock, well change the clocks
On the what and where to start, it depends on what you want to tweak, no one can decide for you...
know how you feel - but best way to learn is to try. Having said that, let me know what it is you want to do and I will post pointers for you.
Good luck!!
Maybe it is a little difficult to fresh, however:
zip is just like the rar or 7z or zip in windows system.
cab could be describled as the exe files in Windows, so, dobule-click it and do next.
clocks and config are some kind things of make your diamond more smart and suit your using habbit, so you could learn it later.
After all, you do not need to care about those difficulties, your phone is well enough when you buy it, so take it easy,dude.
thank you guys for trying to help me out. okay i have been doing some testing and my results are... i figured out how to install themes, fonts and clocks through cab files. it was a no brainer since i have previously owned a HTC touch pretty simple. now i tried to install the TF3D config and it gives me errors. I followed instructions about checking DWORD and it was what it was and error still showed, second step though about deleting tweaks dont know were to go to delete that.(if someone can guide me through that. i have asked before but didn't get an answer.)
what i currently have on my Diamond.
1. shakass V2 (theme installed through .cab. awesome theme)
2. .net framework 3.5 (both 3.5 and 2.0 "2.0 came with my rom")
3. yota contacts (really nice but eliminates the default quick access menu)
4. registry editor
5. advance config 3.3
is there some other apps i need to get?
should i use TF3D config or Manila customizer?
thought this might help, i have a
1.09.651.5 ROM
1.00.00F RADIO

Hi, I finally decided myself to learn how to cook. Thanks to swtos and pcarvalho for their roms and specially thanks to gullum for sharing his wm6.5 kitchen. Since he published it, the polaris section has seen quite a few new cookers. Thanks also to Bluemetalaxe for the Icons and a general thanks to all the xda contributors (TMC, 6gf8's PowerRadio, XDA_UC, bl05, ervius's kitchen and tools...). It is being a lot of fun so far !
It is may first ROM ever, I recommend the ROM to anybody using wm6 or even wm6.1, people with slow devices, people with big thumbs and people with lots of programs. How does it compare to other ROMs? No Manilla oriented, it is rather focused on how to keep the machine clean and fast while having efficient navigation to lots of programs (many programs can be installed silently without leaving duplicate files into windows folder and many other programs do not need to be reinstalled after a hard reset if kept in the SD. They only need shortcuts and sometimes a few reg keys / files to be restored).
Versions available: LITE / XDA
How is the Xda & OpenGL/Freeware ROM?:
Storage: 133,79 Free 121,47 / Program: 100,83 Free 50,91
Latest developments: More and more shortcuts replaced/added, HardLeys reconfigured, Backlight fixed, Power Radio and Quick GPS background as theme. Update Recommended. Help wanted from other cookers/testers please see the post "To do list/help wanted"
Excluded: Manila, Calculator, FM Radio, Office Mobile, OneNote, Sample Music, Google Maps, HTC Task Manager
Included: Net CF 3.7, BT Jetware Extension, Showcase, HGPS Switch, EZInput, Album, XDA_UC, Power Radio, Most of HTC Mega, BL05, PIM BackUP 2.8, PHN NotePad, Cyberon VSD, FDC Soft Task Manager, ACR, Second Today, Opera, YouTube, Mortscripts (Screen Rotation), cruiserrr customization (IE to SD, RSS to SD, Folders to SD, etc)
Links To SD (install the programs to sd\program files first, then flash the rom): Office Mobile, Google Maps, PocketScreen, XNView,
Links To SD (Commercial software): IGO, SKTools (and icons to diff sk tools), SK Tracker, SK smgr, Resco Explorer
Check here known bugs.
It is an ongoing development so each day the ROM will have more icons converted and more shortcuts to SD, etc. Links to commercial software will be kept in a separate folder "SD Icons" for the time being. I plan to do a mortscript that allows to customize which icons to install or to do a mirror structure of folders or to integrate in normal folders only in a "full" version.
How is the Lite ROM?: I would say it is fast!
Storage: 143,00 Free 136,00 / Program: 100,83 Free 53,32
Latest developments: Same as XDA Rom
It is like the XDA ROM but does not include Cyberon Voice Speed Dial, Sun Java, Opera, Audio Booster, Audio Manager, RSS Hub, Streaming Media, TouchFlo, Voice Recorder, HyperGPS, Power Radio, Second Today, PIM BackUP, PHM NotePad. Please report any links included by mistake.
Cabs post
Common to both:
1. No radio included. 1.59.XX.XX is what I use / No initial splash integrated (can use this one), flash without fare / Non bootable from SD, needs pc to flash it / Usual disclaimers apply.
2. Folders and shortcuts rearranged, using basically Bluemetalaxe Icons
3. No additional footprint: registry keys not used are deleted, icons replace the original ones, etc. (ongoing work to clean garbage left by the flash process in \windows like provxml files, duplicate shortcuts, etc).
4. After flashing XDA_UC will start and install any tsk/cab/reg/xml etc silently. Please look in the forum for instructions on how to use. After first boot, the network customization will be launched and showcase will be fully configured ("X" at the top-right corner).
5. Mortscript will be used but only "static" mortscript so not to penalize performance/battery: no scripts doing this and that every x time. Only scripts based on system notifications or processes.
If somebody wants a naked version I will be happy to remove any programs you ask me to whenever a cab installation is available.
If somebody wants a standard or full version, ... well.... do not ask me to do it better than pcarvalho or kostas or gullum, in fact this rom has no development, is mostly customization and benefits from their work and others with the new builds porting and the kitchen release and the software integration.
Beta testing only (see above for stable versions): Lite + Many shortcuts
I will appreciate suggestions, feedback, help, etc.
Hope you like it !
Tweaks
- Initial splash sound removed (not the beeps)
- Pictures stored in SD card
- IE stores information in SD Card
- RSS Hub reads / saves info to SD Card
- Cleartype and ct rotation activated
- GPS Camera activated
Cab's links / location
Install to SD/Program Files:
Office 2007 into SD Card
Bugs / Known Issues
Common:
- Does not contain mainsplash (I will explain / give link on how to change to whatever you want) so most of you will continue seing the pcarvalho initial picture (kostas rom I think does not include the initial splash either)
- Does not load from SD, requires ActiveSync connecion + bootloader
- Some icons still to be replaced
- Usual Garbage in c\windows: proxxml and duplicate png/lnk files.
- Pending to include XDA calculator.
- wrong build id shown on deviceinfo
Lite version:
- Pending to remove voice recorder icon or to point it to sd.
To Do List
Here I include the issues I want help for:
-sync with cell tower at startup
-rapidshare/megaupload storage
-no popup when 100% battery charged. It is a pain if you use IGO
-merge initial splash
-clean files used in the installation (provxml, lnk, png, etc.)
-include cabs in the installation
-force soft reset at the end
-split all htc packages not needed in the naked rom (I only want to keep what is needed for album)
- .bat file to upgrade rom version and provxml, depending on a parameter captured in a text file (does it exist?)
Help wanted: I would like to do the job in a COM3/4/5 build rather than in 23016 since the future brings us there ... but 23016 works like a charm. If anybody can help porting to 23060 or 23071 I would appreciate
Screenshots please. Thanks for your work. If u need a beta tester tell me.
How did you activate you GPS Camera? By modifying Registry code? Could you please teach mehow to do that?

I want to try 2305X or 23071 but I still do not know how to port the build...
Feedback please...

Hi, you are going faster than I do!!!!! I am at home this week with the flu so I have been able to go faster than normally I will do. My roms are "SD oriented" which means you will have a set of minimum icons (eg. office, igo and google maps). Neither of these programs is installed in the lite rom, only the icons. Today I will publish a naked one (beta) that I did with the help of phnikola. It does not include titanium and exinput and any htc enhancements. It includes showcase and all "my stuff". It is beta, I think the lite version is only 5 megs more (mostly keyboard and album) and runs even faster and the scroll is much better so far.
For your post, I think the best for you would be to download gullum kitchen and follow the short directions given in his first post. In 5 minutes you could be flashing your first rom and in 5 more minutes you could removed all unnecessary stuff to have your naked rom. and it is fun also to have your own rom.

M8, you would do as all a favour if you'd post in

- the same color (usually black) in every posting, not each single post in another color...
- without permanently CAPITALS use

Many, many thanks in advance.
