Hey guys and gals this is my WAD2 Touch Diamond Theme. This is my first theme I have ever tried to make and let me tell you it was a heck of a
learning curve. I never used to be into computers or any kind of electronics until one day I decided to buy my first ppc on ebay for $130.00
I think it was an i730, then the addiction grew from there. Surfing the net for wallpapers I stumbled upon ppcgeeks and saw all the cool things you could
do to just about any WM device then decided to upgrade again. Then I found Lazyboys Iphone theme I thought, WOW thats awesome! Soon after that
was Torx Iphone theme and I was blown away. I said man, I got to get what their using and try this out, I think I can make some cool stuff for my phone.
After playing for awhile not really making anything worth showing off, the Touch Diamond screen shots started popping up all over, then one day I
was checking out themes over at Lakeridge and a guy in one of the posts asked (who is going to try to make a Touch Diamond Theme?). And at that
exact moment I found the WAD2 beta and realized with its abilities I could pull this off!!!!!! So thats my story of how this theme became what it is today.
I want to thank Lazyboy and Torx for there inspiration.
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.
Enjoy!!!!!
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.
- Copies the Diamond welcomehead.96.png to /Windows. This is the last splash-screen you see before WM starts up, seen here:
- There are probably a few other, minor things I'm leaving out, but that is the gist of it.
Hopefully no complications arise from the use of this cab, but as usual, I take no responsibility for it. Use at your own risk. I just wanted to make a simple, 3 step process for people who wanted to try out jdume's theme, but may have been confused by the setup. Sorry for the novel, but I was hoping to avoid questions down the road. Hopefully this helps someone, because I just spent like 20 minutes typing this
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.
