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

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.

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.

thistheme has been up and running for months now, but due to the whole wad2 beta bs i uninstalled instantlly, and frankly its outdated... of you want the look and feel of touchdlo3d, install touchflo2d and apply the diamond skin

[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.

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.
