I own a Rogers Diamond since around christmas and I'm seriously fed up with it. I switcjed from an elfin expecting an improvement and what I got is the slowest, most unstable piece of crap I've owned.

It freezes atevery opportunity, it's unbelievably slow even when loading the freakin programs menu. The D-Pad is a pain in the ass for navigation, let alone games. The thing doesn't even take memory cards.

To sum it up, the only thing I like is the VGA display.

Did I miss something or did I really spend 700$ for a downgrade? That's 350 bucks more than the Touch and I doubt I can get my money back now.

Help me XDA devs!
[General Topics] kosmos5457:
I am beginning to think so. It is really laggy and there does come a point where you get seriously fed up of it. I think I am quite a patient person with technology and such things. I have had the mobile device since August and have seen many problems with the software of the device.

It has a lot of potential to be good you would think. The specifications of the phone are pretty good and its just that development of the Windows Mobile platform is not what we should expect. The development on here from people on this forum has been great however. It's just Microsoft don't seem to be that bothered about the competition from other platforms.

I'm seriously thinking I might have to replace this phone with the iPhone. The iPhone does not do as much but usability is the priority rather than functionality.

HTC have released a new ROM for the Touch Diamond and some people have said that is it a lot better though I wouldn't be so sure. I've not tried it myself. I am using the ROM that came with my Diamond.

The fact its laggy though, the problems don't stop there. It does other silly things that I don't want the phone to do from time to time and that is equally as annoying.
[P3470 General] Nuno Brito:
This is maybe a dumb question but would it be possible to somehow enable 3G on this HTC?

I notice the 3G icon when I get connected online but the download speed is still based on GPRS and really slow to browse the internet as you might have noticed.

Any thoughts on this matter?

:)
[P3470 General] marzialex:
My download is based on GPRS too and it's very slow, but sometimes it connect in Edge! And is more faster! I appreciate is somebody know how to connect with 3G :D

Ps: sorry for my bad english! :(
[P3470 General] alfern:
The Pharos does not have the necessary hardware for 3G networks. You are and always will be stuck with Edge on this phone. Unless someone finds and manage to activate a possible WLAN chip.
[Android Themes] DaUub:
Nice! good start. like it
[Android Themes] kron2:
love the icons and the top bar and icons as for not all your icons changing did you install rc33 light or move your sounds over to your sd card .if you don't have room in system not all your images will show
[Android Themes] christianelizaga:
i like it.....the battery meter is tight!
[Android Themes] derfolo:
I like it. Here's a vote to keep it going.
[Android Themes] pyroshady23:
Im digging it would like to use it on my celly.

keep it going dude
[Android Themes] jumpertk:
Looks really nice For the time I think it would look nice if you used white text instead of black text because that is what you are using for all of the icons
[Android Themes] kushion:
its getting there

I really like it i just dont like the tab bar but battery meter and icons are awesome
[Android Themes] wizern23:
it think the orbs icon would look better than the icons u have but thats just my opinion
[Android Themes] AGunz82:
This theme is clean. Love it. The pulltab looks official too.:cool: The clock is the only thing I would change.

Will this be compatible with the JF1.42 RC33? :confused:
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
yea...im on 1.42 now...I was under the impression themes that work with 1.41 also work with anything after that also? I actually started making these themes in 1.41, then updated recently to 1.42.
[Android Themes] tekrodriguez:
I've tried it, unfortunately they dont work trying to apply a theme from 1.41 onto 1.42, it freezes.
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
That's weird, because I loaded FadeToBlue on my phone when I was on 1.41. Then I started editing that in 1.41, then I updated to 1.42, and the theme still works. Hmm, either way, I'm on 1.42, so lets just say this theme is for 1.42.
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
I don't have rc33 light and my apps arent on my sdcard, but my theme is only 8.8MB. I don't think that's that much? I did compress my png's too.
[Android Themes] kron2:
you start to have problems with images about where you are try rc33light and see if all you icons show
[Android Themes] Freezey:
Im loving this theme already.

looks like when its done this will be replacing my blackberry theme for awhile.

btw will this theme have similar dial pad buttons?
[Android Themes] johnowa636:
Nice theme! Like the original icons.
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
I havnt had much time to update this theme. With the time I did have though, I think I've figured out how to edit the .9 png's. Can anyone tell me where I can find the png that displays behind a selected app icon? I've tried all of these here, and thought it wouldnt hurt to ask...

grid_selector_background_focus.9.png

highlight_selected.9.png

list_selector_background_focus.9.png

menuitem_background_focus.9.png

status_bar_item_background_focus.9.png

focused_application_background_static.png

...Also, I've removed my stock media(RC33 lite), and my Dialer icon still is not changing. Any help would be great...thanks

edit: I think I might have found that png...was looking in the wrong location...i'll try it out...
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
Thanks for confirming!
[Android Themes] stogchris81:
i have been able to edit an icon or 2 with the psd in photo shop. now the file type is .psd. how do i save it as a file type i can drop in my pictures file on my g1 to use with bettercut? im guessing it has to be jpg. i just dont know how to make it into jpg.
[Android Themes] SolemnWishing:
Responding about the morel-gloss less-gloss icons, I like the less-gloss better. The other one, though shiny, makes the icons look and feel washed out. With the less gloss, the color stands out and is bolder.

quick question. why isnt my lock scren back ground changing?
[Android Themes] Kainous:
My problem was with my carrier. They were upgrading something related to the 3G

Still no problems with this theme ;)
[Android Themes] question.com:
scratch my last question. installed 1.1 and it changed my lock screen. by far my fav theme. how do i add more icons for apps i have gotten from the market (if no one minds teaching me).
[Android Themes] Blue*lable:
First You need to install the bettercut app to change your app icon. The bettercut app is not free. He made a zip file of icon but not all are there.

If you have not yet pleas vote for him in the theme competition. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=493829

i already voted, and i was thinking it was bettercut. ill install it now, then download the icons. thanks for the info
[Android Themes] stogchris81:
help with photoshop

I was able to make a few icons with the aero psd in photo shop. However, the psd came with a square blue background that I can't seem to get rid of. If anyone can help please let me know. Its my 1st time using photo shop. Thank you in advance
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
In the "Layers" meno on the right, click on the eye for the blue background. This will make the blue not visible, then you can save it.
[Android Themes] stogchris81:
Thanks.

Thank you! Ill try it as soon as I get home tonight.

Calculator

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but on my calculator I am missing the divide and the subtract symbols on the buttons. Maybe I had a bad flash, I tried looking for the icons in the apk, but am unable to find these.
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
hmm...it's still there on mine. Try reinstalling, if that doesnt work, try downloading it again and reinstalling.
[Android Themes] jdwash11:
Is there anyway we can get a clear notification bar?

The current one doesn't play nice with weather bugs black temp notification =\
[Android Themes] stogchris81:
this is getting fun. now the background that was blue is white.
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
are you saving it as a .png file?
[Android Themes] knight4linux:
Was wondering if anyone has made an astrid aero icon? I'm not that great with the artsy stuff...so was hoping a fellow astrid user has or was thinking about it.
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
I added a "to-do" list at the top of my first post. Please feel free to add to it, as I only want to make this theme better.
[Android Themes] stogchris81:
Actually, I saved it as a jpg. Should I conert it to a .png?
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
Yea...in Photoshop, go to File>Save For Web & Devices. Then in the "Preset" drop down box, select "PNG-24". This will give you a compressed png file. You could compress it even more with PNGOUT.
[Android Themes] stogchris81:
Thank you again for being so helpful. I can't wait to learn how to use photo shop Better. Ill try that out 2nite.
[Android Themes] jdwash11:
any way we can get a clear notification bar?

the current doesn't really play nice with the Weather Bug notification (black font) ;)
[Android Themes] SolemnWishing:
Not sure if this was intentional or not, but when a notification window pops up, such as the one telling you that you are now signing into Meebo in Meebo, the background is the same black leather-like image with holes as the idle-screen. It is like that for all pop up windows. Was this intentional?
[Android Themes] AbsoluteDesignz:
That happens on all the themes...I think its an unforeseen circumstance...personally, due to my slight OCD it keeps me from truly enjoying these themes.

Macdroid it is for now.
[Android Themes] USAKGB:
It just stay on flashing android screen all the time, just like any other theme up there that not for ADP :confused:

FANTASTIC! You've realy out done you're self here.
[Android Themes] jlaholton:

[Android Themes] Seenochino:
Notification bar

the theme is really nice, however the notification bar does not work well with my weatherbug app. with weatherbug you are able to see the temperature of your current location on the left side of the notification bar. the problem is that the font is black in color and so is your notification bar. like i said, i love this theme and i use it regardless but it would be nice to have your theme with an alternate notification bar. perhaps one a little lighter in color.

edit... just saw another member posted about the same issue. im not trying to beat a dead horse cause thats just grosse!
[Android Themes] beagz:
What if you load the latest gloss suite theme which has the white notifications and then reload *Aero*. I think it keeps the white text in notification area.

Nope doesn't work.

Weather Bug uses black and it doesn't change with the notification colors. :(
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
I just uploaded a blue version of Aero. Check out the first post.

(Note: v1.2(blue and black) now have a green battery meter)
[Android Themes] Seenochino:
thank you very much for trying to make this work for us who requested a different notification bar.

FWIW. i'm a huge fan of silver/gunmetal/brushed aluminum on the notif. bar...:cool: with that being said, i think it would be nice to see the best theme for the g1 (aero) with a lighter notif. bar...

big ups for being a "friendly" theme dev.
[Android Themes] stogchris81:
i made a few icons using ultra spikeys psd template. they are at http://tigerhq.com/stogner/. Thank you to ultra spikey for the psd and for teaching me how to use it. these are the only contribution i have really been able to make to this forum considering my newbness, so i am really exited about it. and to ultra spikey, its not that i didn't like your messaging icon(i actually loved it), i just got carried away, lol.
[Android Themes] xdavidn88:

[Android Themes] dweller88:
Thanks for changing the battery back to green,

But will change to 1.2 cheers.

I've stuck with this theme til now as it just has a great clean look.

[Android Themes] aponte26:
I have this theme installed on my phone and I have better cut also, but how do I add the "Icon pack by RainCrow" or the "Official Aero icon pack" to the theme?
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
Thanks for the complements everyone. I've been kind of taking a long break from this theme stuff, I can honestly say this theme competition took over the majority of my free time, but I will slowly get back into it(A little donation may motivate me =P). For now, I've added(by request) a version of Aero with a gray status bar.
[Android Themes] Seenochino:
the gray one is perfect. thanx for taking the time to make it... i know its not much but im donating $1.00 for your effort. :cool:
[Android Themes] garethb:
i must admit, the new styles and modifications do look perfect.. do you have any plans to update RC9 any further?
[Android Themes] jasonsplace:
The gray is fantastic. I can see my weatherbug icon now.

Well done and congratulations on third place in the compitition. The only suggestion I have is upload to a different hoster like rapidshare or mediafire becuase zshare is full of bs advertising and they go down atleast once a month.
[Android Themes] flexnix:
I even tried to see if another site had it. No luck. :confused:
[Android Themes] flexnix:
Nevermind, its working again.

[Android Themes] AroundTheWorld:
Before I dl it to my phone, is there any confirmation that it would work with RC33 Lucid Mod? I've seen complaints about other themes not working with it... so I just don't wanna flash it, find out it doesnt work, then have to go through all the other stuff of finding my sdcard reader, etc...
[Android Themes] Dantehman:
Im loving the Aero Dark on RC9, there arnt alot of RC9 themes out there that are such good quality, I;ve just gotten my hands on BetterCut so im going to start going through the icons soon as well :)
[Android Themes] Screamat:

Any chance this could run on Haykuro's build?

-ah well, im trying anyway. Everything's backed up. Ill post with the results within 5 minutes.

-well, it got as far as the android logo with "Android Aero" but looped on from there.

Nandroid back up success!

So, maybe a version that would support the HTC Magic port? (: I love the Aero theme, and actually, YOUR theme is the only thing that is making me struggle on whether or not I should go to the dull appearence of Haykuro's H build.
[Android Themes] VAMCAVALO:
hey guys, sorry but i don't understand

to use the theme (i use jf 142 rc33) i need just to rename to update.zip and apply on recovery mode?

and the icons? what is bettercut?

thanks so much!

att,

vamcavalo
[Android Themes] SolemnWishing:
Yes, that is all you have to do. I recommend a Nandroid backup before you try though as you are still a bit unfamiliar with this, as with everything though I would recommend a backup, they are very convenient. The icons are included in the theme. As for bettercut, Im not very familiar with that sorry. If you have questions feel free to message me.
[Android Themes] AroundTheWorld:
^For bettercut, just simply download one of the icon packs that are availible on the market, open up bettercut, select activity, pick a program, then click change icon... after that, it should give you an option to select a pack, and you basically select an icon from there.

Uploaded the "official" Aero port for JF ADP 1.5. The other port by Johno was missing a few things, like the dialer. Comes with white notification and clock, and gray status bar(I personally like the gray better, plus it works out for you weatherbug users).
[Android Themes] jonnybueno:
Hey Spikey,

Could you please release a version for JF ADP1.5 with all black status bar, blue battery,stericson's battery on the lock screen edit and no custom lock screen? Please?

I really love your theme, in my opinion, it should have won the comp.

Like This:
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
Did them all except for the blue battery. I may put it up later. If anyone downloaded this before 10:20pm May 5th, please re-download. The date in the status bar was still showing up black, but I fixed it.
[Android Themes] jonnybueno:
Thank you! Looks really nice!

Just one thing though, the icons look really glossy, but the status bar is a duller gloss.... any chance you could fix that? It just looks a little weird. I'm really liking this theme, its very stylish and functional. Thank you.

No problem...if you need any more testing let me know
[Android Themes] Stryder5:
Noticed a few things after installing ADP 1.5 version and didn't know if it was intentional or not:

1. The Gtalk, Settings, Superuser, and Terminal icons do not match the Aero themed icons.

2. In the "Music" app, the "Songs" button is larger than the other buttons.

3. The notification bar and app dock are no longer semi-transparent, as compared to the RC33 version. (I actually prefer the app dock not to be transparent but that's personal preference).

Regardless, Aero theme works like a charm on JFv1.5 ADP!
[Android Themes] kamikaze2311:
at my above comments...i agree with your point number 1 and 2, for Aero v1.3(BLACK) - JF ADP 1.5 the icons like settings, gtalk, superuser, and terminal icons were same like before changing themes.

this if my first post i hope u can make it fix. thanks anyway :)
