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

nah this setup that ima do isnt to keep, its to see how it turns out and then take it apart, like i said, for kicks

[Jstar]

ok everthings installed and its running smoothly.. u were right about the animations, even the sounds are pretty dope!

PERO when i go to open a txt msg or an email i get the error msg : "error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename."

how do remap to avoid getting this msg

i also just re-did my s2u2 to match the clock on the main page!

im at the same stage as you, im checkin @ ppcgeeks to see if i can figure out how to do that also

[slick78]

are the wa3 and wad2 files the same as the wisbardesktop.rc4 cab and wisbaradv3.wm6.cab if not were do i find the wa3 and wad2 files to install?

those cabs are that apps themselves and the theme are in folders found in the diamond.v2.zip

[slick78]

ok but im trying to figure out which one is wad2 and wa3 because the instructions say thay have to be installed in a certain order so i was trying to figure out which one is which so i can install the right one first. thanks

wisbaradv3.wm6.cabb is WA3 which is installed first
wisbardesktop.rc4 cab is wisbar advance desktop which installs second

see i aint the only one with that issue.. thats the same spot i was at where i kept getting stuck. They're not labeled individually so it gets a bit confusing.

i figured it out quite quick just by seeing the word desktop, but this should avoid further confusion

[slick78]

i finally got everything set up and running but i am having a problem with the weather setup. when i go into weater and try and add my city is says (could not connect to search site) so notinng is showing up in the weather tab. any ideas whats going wrong?

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

1) weather images won't come up. the path is set to where the large and small icons are (on the card as instructed) but stll not working.

2) can't get texting or email to work. apparently i don't have the shortcuts set up properly.

3) switching between panels is extremly slow.

any assistance would be appreciated. this is the nicest setup i've ever had and i'd rally like to iron out the small problems i'm having with it and use it full time.

OK.

1. for the weather what ur gonna do is :
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.

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

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.

aiite bro, ill be sure to do it, but im not home as of yet, but ill get to it when i do

unless one of the fellow staff can update for me

[kudvu002]

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

[amitvillehorror]

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.

[609757aj]

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!

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 Swcked 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 Swcked 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.
