HTC Diamond WAD2 Theme .v2 **16/July/08**

[Mike20PR]

ITS FINALLY HERE!!!!

Installation

You need to download all the attached files
Open theme zip and READ THE DIRECTIONS PLEASE!!!!!!!
I'm working with someone who is going to help build an install cab
so it will be alot easier, that will come soon.
Also I have not had a chance to write set up procedures for the people page
but defiantly will. I did provide 9 generic pics of guys and girls siluets already set up, they are located in the HTC Touch Diamond Images folder under People templates.

Note to Titan,Mogal,xv6800 owners this theme works on the phone but because of lack of memory WAD2 does shut down sometimes, not sure if this the case with other phones we still need to remember WAD2 is in beta stages right now so we kinda have to deal with this. Its alot better than it was last build. Chris over at Lakeridge is working hard to try to get the memory issues solved for good so lets hope.

No landscape support as of yet

enjoy guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

million thanx to jdume for this masterpeice

New Cab Install!!!!! By Bedoig


1) Install Wisbar Advance Desktop. The WAD2 Release Candidate 4 cab that jdume posted should last you until July 31, after that you'll have to upgrade to a new Release Candidate or buy the program (if it is released).

2) Install Wisbar Advance 3. At the final phase of the installation, you will be asked if you want to start Wisbar. Choose no (uncheck the box), and then hit "finish installation."

3) Install "Diamond Theme - by jdume." This cab contains all the necessary files, registry entries, etc. to get your theme ready to go. You're device will reset, and you should be ready to start customizing all of your people, programs, etc (sorry, you still have to do that part yourself ).




A couple of notes:

- The theme cab is large, and has to copy A LOT of files to various locations on your device. As such, it will take a long time to run. Like 10-12 minutes on my device. This is normal, and if you have set up the theme manually before, you will know that it takes quite some time to copy all the files to their respective directories.

- I've tested the cab on a fresh hard reset, with nothing except WAD2 and WA3 installed. It is entirely possible that you could encounter conflicts with your particular setup.

- The directory locations in this cab are hard coded for standard English setups. As a result, this will not work on non-English devices. For example, if you're storage card doesn't show up as "Storage Card" in your file explorer, this will not work.

- This only installs the files and settings necessary for jdume's core theme. Any additional programs still need to be installed separately.

- The cab *should* be fully uninstallable.




If anyone is interested, here is exactly what is included in this cab:

- All relevant theme/graphic folders created by jdume will be installed to their appropriate, default locations.

- All necessary config files and registry entries will be put in place to minimize setup after installation. Your device *should* look just like the screenshots. You will just need to set up your contacts, weather location, and other personal preferences. WAD2 and WA3 should also now be set to start on device reset.

- Changes your standard device theme to a Diamond theme. WA3 still reads some info from your Windows Mobile theme, so this is necessary. The cab doesn't use a tsk file to change your theme. It directly updates your registry with system color information, and copies tdywater.gif and stwater.gif to /windows. I did also place a copy of diamond.tsk on your storage card, so you can change back and forth if desired.

Some Q&A.

1. How do i get the txt msg shortcut to actually work, i click it and get an error msg, same for email ?

Tap and hold on the button,select properties,edit script,tap launch a program,edit tap the grey square box, and select the program you want from the list, same applies to all buttons missing shortcuts.

2. How do i edit the programs menu? Theres 3 empty slots and I wanted to know if I can actually fill in the blanks here?

Tap and hold on the empty slot a menu will pop up select new,then shortcut then tap the grey box, select what you want, the ok now there are some programs icons I've provided, but you will have to uncheck use default icon, now under normal image tap the grey box, then tap the black down arrow, select the programs icon folder, scroll through to see if there is some thing you want to use, if so select it and ok. Now the pressed image, find the blank icon and select it then ok. you now have a shortcut to that program with an icon if there is no icon for the program you want then check use default image, you will need to position it.

3. For the weather, how do i get icons ( sun, moon, clouds etc ) to show. It shows the temp its automatically updating..i just dont see any icons?

Tap and hold on the screen, select settings, then tap the icon tab, large icon directory tap browse, expand the storage card folder, then expand the HTC touch Diamond images folder, and select HTC large weather icons, then ok out.

throttle is really no contest, this one wasnt final but if your familiar with wisbar you can finalize it yourself

[iamdasht19]

[chauleyb]

[kudvu002]

you dont need throttle launcher with this all you need is the WAD

[kudvu002]

you dont need throttle launcher with this all you need is the WAD

i know i deleted throttle before i installed the weather and wisbars it locked up after i installed the wisbars which made me have to hard reset

[Mike20PR]

reupped!!!

[spidermonkey21]

Does it matter whether I use this on WM 6.0 vs WM 6.1?

[raybond25]

Does it matter whether I use this on WM 6.0 vs WM 6.1?
nope you just need Wisbar Advanced Desktop 2

[wdbanks]

I loaded it and gave it a try for a couple of days. It looks nice but in my opinion doesnt perform as well as the throttlelauncher app. I didnt like the way WAP interacted with quickmenu either. I just got through taking it off my phone and Im going with the throttlelauncher.

[skillz2113]

I've tried this out and my phone gets the theme but mine doesn't have all the taps already shortcuted.....plus wen I click $ome of the apps they don't seem 2 wrk......NEED BIG HELP!!!!!!!PLEASE

[iamdasht19]

i cant help you myself but im hoping to find the time to get this installed soon.

[Mike20PR]

well i dont use this app. but as stated in the first post, its not done yet so there is some parts tha need work. if you know your way around wisbar then you can finish it, if not then i reccomend the next version

[birdman504]

all i get is a all black screen

[iamdasht19]

all i get is a all black screen

than you messed something up in author mode through WAD2. i would recommend the throttle launch app unless your familiar with WAD and WAD2 like mike stated.

[Mike20PR]

yep, throttle is the best and easiest so far, ans with the diamond music tab in the works (by A_C himself) and mail plugin as well, throttle will kill all soon

[Mike20PR]

just got word from the developer that the final release v2 is finished and should be released soon!!!!

[brown88]

ima have to try when it is released.

inside the HTC_Touch_Diamond_.v2.zip, there is a folder called HTC_Touch_Diamond, inside the folder there is a text called Htc Touch Diamond instructions <----- thats it.

[nikkomogul]

thanx also i installed the first 2 cabs but where is the last thing?

[slick78]

Can This Be Installed If You Have Trottle Launch Installed?

[Mike20PR]

thanx also i installed the first 2 cabs but where is the last thing?
what last thing?? just follow the instructions included, i tried it on for size and must say that im impressed
Can This Be Installed If You Have Trottle Launch Installed? nope cuz it replaces your entire today screen, so no reason to use both at once, just uncheck throttle today and try it out

[slick78]

when i install the first three cabs you say to install in the instructions the next step says to uncheck them in today/items but they aren't showing up in my today menu?

[Mike20PR]

when i install the first three cabs you say to install in the instructions the next step says to uncheck them in today/items but they aren't showing up in my today menu?

you will set it up after you finish setting up the theme. but you need a clean today so you can finish the wad theme

be sure to follow instructions exactly as stated, it states that if the theme doesnt show, repeat the process till it does.

im taking a wild guess and say that you dnt place the diamond images to the root of your storage card. you cant place it in any subfolder otherwise it wont read them

[Jstar]

EDIT:

[Mike20PR]

ok so i dont get it..

i cant get past that first step..with wad2 and wa3 part in the beginning

i dunno where im jackin it up.. but until theres a "install this theme for dummies" released i cant mess with it

its simple man, just install WA3 and WAD, now replace the Lakeridge folder found in *root*/program files with the one provided, and extract the htc diamond folder to the storage card *root* (no subfolders, so that the theme can read the images) now press and hold on the blank today and change the desktop theme to the diamond one

all the rest are the settings that it tells you to change to get WA3 to match

[Jstar]

yea i just finished that part.. i edited my post while u were making ur post

thanks for the help tho.. its flowin now with out any problems im almost done with the install

do u have an active data connection? if i was in ur situaion..what i would do is :

1. confirm data connection, this seems to be a major issue with most "wp" users
2. settings > today > items > weatherpanel > options > about > run diagnostics.

After you do that it should read :

Cache Connection : False
Connection SUCCESS
Auth : UBETCHA

that obviously means you have an active connection other than that..cant help ya..lol

2. for ur shortcuts :
Tap and hold on the button,select properties,edit script,tap launch a program,edit tap the grey square box, and select the program you want from the list, same applies to all buttons missing shortcuts

3. thats an actual issue with WAD/WA, as of yet since its still in beta, theres no option for speed on the tab flipping

so im having these issues! when i try to add a favorite contact it always pulls up icontant and there is no way of selecting a fav through that unless im missing something. Also i cant remeber where im supposed to go to get my code for the weather. and the third is when i pull up my music page i have a playlist tab at the bottom, i go into author mode and try and change that path to make it pull up s2p but it wont allow and always uses wmp. let me know if you have any ideas on these as i read 28 pages at ppc and didnt see any!

EDIT: i found my weather fix thread from an old manilla theme...this is what it stated:when u go to http://weather.yahoo.com put in your zip to get the weather then click on the orange RSS button @ the top, it will change the page to RSS format (all text) on the first line it will list the "location code" if youre in the US it saying something like mine USGA0013 (US - United States, GA

Please forgive me if I overlooked the answer to this question but I downloaded the theme and its showing up and everything BUT when I try to use the message icon or any of the icons for that matter at the bottom of the screen, I am getting a message saying "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target file name." I tried taking the theme off and re-downloading it but i am still getting the same message.


I don't know how to delete this reply off of here but please disreguard

[leffix]

It screwed my phone up too. I did exactly what the instructions told me, and i ended up with a sloow phone and a black screen with the Windows frame in the top. To bad, cuz this looked pretty wicked.

1) Install Wisbar Advance Desktop. The WAD2 Release Candidate 4 cab that jdume posted should last you until July 31, after that you'll have to upgrade to a new Release Candidate or buy the program (if it is released).


any update on this since we are past the jul 31st date?

[iamdasht19]

You need to read the first page of every THREaD! It shows the requirements

[Nygel]

i must say has great animation and sounds but if you have a Mogul like I do the response is a little slow but in all great app. the only beef i have is that it has no touch flo on the main home page or I had to much of a memory draw that it shut that part off can't tell right now need more testing, but like Mike said it is 90% complete need little mapping

[wlsmoku]

thanks D/\SH and Nygel!

[iamdasht19]

thanks D/\SH and Nygel!

no problem... so i take it that you got it to work for you?

[wlsmoku]

no problem... so i take it that you got it to work for you?

unfortunately not since the date is past on the software needed. but I am patiently waiting...and until then I will just run the hybrid and sick SPB mobile themes running around on this board :groupwave:

[oneph8]

this looks awesome! can't wait try it. it should hold me until the pro comes out. :)

[PROBEX]

I am tempted to try this one out... is everything needed for this active I have noticed that wad3 is the current version I have been trying to decide what mod to use I'm torn as they all seem to have complaints about being buggy as hell. S2P, this and touchflow .93 these are the 3 I am torn between... I really want to have something stable to play with I want to skin one of these things really bad but I don't wanna do something that turns out to be changed in a week... any advice or suggestions from any of the staff or members here would be apreciated tell me what you think is the best mod and easiest for me to configure so I can get to the fun stuff of skinning the shit out of it.

throttlelauncher 9.3 is way more useful than this theme, but why is s2p an issue you are torn with??? you can run this app with any interface, doesnt make a difference

BTW i would like to see more skins for throttle if you plan on doing so

[PROBEX]

I looked at skinning SPB mobile shell gotta say that thing is a nightmare to work with and after a week of attempts said it aint worth it... I will deff check out S2P and throttle the thing. I will be loading them up tommorow hopefully and testing them out. Thanks guys for the input.

you would have to go to author mode by clicking and holding on the screen and than change it and for the contacts thats one of the things that doesnt work but going to be updated........ its beta for a reason.

[DJCaSpER]

dont get me wrong bro this theme is great but wad wasnt my taste. try it out for yourself my friend and see if you like it. dont reject it just becuz i dont like it... you might even love it bro. if not, then im sure you will love manila2d cuz its the real deal and no imitations like this one

[DJCaSpER]

ya i understand that. thanks for the info.... ill give it a try.

[daiwhyte]

Love the theme but when I loaded onto my HTC Touch Diamond which already had Wisbar Advance Desktop loaded. The install went fine and after the reboot the desktop was displayed but it was all squeezed into the top right corner. This is not the first theme which has done this so Im not sure why this is happening, something to do with the resolution of the screen or icons probs!

Yea bro, all the themes that you try to install that are QVGA are gonna be up in the corner. Your phone is VGA, so make sure the themes you download are VGA or TF3D.
