another way

Ok first let me say thanks to the op for this, and everyone else who has added. As a matter of fact, this whole site ive been learking for this past month. Now on to bussiness.

Ive come up with another way to do this if interested. Now forgive me if some of these steps are not needed, only had the phone 1 month, and last night was 1st time playing with linux...

1. Back up copy of original boot.gif and boot.mp3 (optional)

2. Connect using adb. (Im using cmd in winxp)

3. Have copy of new boot.gif boot.mp3 on root of c.

4. Type adb start-server

5. Type adb remount

6. Type adb push c:\boot.mp3 /system/media

7. Type adb push c:\boot.gif /system/media

8. Done! No wipe, worked perfect for me.

Btw- i used a jpg, well sort of. I opened it in paint and saved as gif. The one i wanted just happed to be 480×320 so it worked perfect!
[G1 Android Development] herbie7159:
I changed both and mine as well will not play right.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
This is a great idea.. will give this a try on the next flash
[G1 Android Development] fastludeh22:
Thats the beauty of the way i posted a few posts up. You dont have to wait for your next flash, and no wipe or aything needed. You can cange it in about the same amount of time it took me to type this, lol

However i do plan on tryin a different build prob tomo, so ill let everyone know if it works on others besides h build.
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Easier method:

adb remount

cd\(directory your files are in)

adb push boot.mp3 system/media

adb push boot.gif system/media

adb reboot
[G1 Android Development] diaztradeinc:
Yes both methods were posted on first page.
[G1 Android Development] youuishype:
none of these commands worked for me, thanks to userfriendlyme these worked.

adb push c:/boot.mp3 /sdcard

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cp /sdcardboot.mp3 /system/media

reboot
[G1 Android Development] yukkio:
I've copied from Roger rom boot.gif, boot.mp3 and boot_animation.xml to /system/media but i still see android animation when it's starting up. Is there other file to get custom boot.gif?

I've a rooted rom and i used this:

adb remount

adb push boot.gif /system/media

adb push boot.mp3 /system/media

adb push boot_animation.xml /system/media

adb sync

adb reboot

Thanks.

BR.
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
get it done quick and easy...

-for boot.mp3 replacement-

adb remount

adb shell rm -r /system/media/boot.mp3

adb push

location of file

\boot.mp3 /system/media/

adb shell reboot

i am using an mp3 that is right at 11 seconds and it is timed pretty well... maybe another 2 or 3 seconds and it would be perfect

Hello every one. I downloaded and installed Zorro gps. Then about 2 mins later deleted it. The map file for the UK and Ireland and software is 770mb where as TomTom is 120mb also does not support postcode entry and when

I tried to navigate to my home address which is in a village that address or should

I say the village is not there.

So in summary very competitive price, file to large no postcode support and don’t get lost as this sat nav will not get you home or don’t live in a village. Jez

I just downloaded ZorroGPS Premium v10.4 from http://www.zorrogps.com/US/ (Jun02 version) and installed on my HTC Touch Diamond USA version. The USA-Canada map takes a little over than 3GB, with all installation steps same as those described on the website.

When launched ZorroGPS the first time, however, a warning text box falshed over in less than a second, saying something about ".. automatic configuration of GPS was not successful.. click "yes" to retry or "no" to configure manually..." ZorroGPS then closes immediately. This problem also occured in the previous May-27 version. The helpdesk has been very responsive in working for possible solutions, but so far no solution has been developed yet.

Could anybody please check and see if this occurs to your HTC Touch Diamond USA version (with original rom)? I recoverd the factory default before I installed ZorroGPS and have only Google Map installed in the application.

Hello,

I am really thinking of getting the HTC touch diamond2. I currently have HTC tilt (or tytn II). I use it mostly for messaging. Anyways, my question is: how easy is it to type on the device? Is it as good as an iphone (better or worse)? Can you use your finger tips or do you have to use the stylus? Is there a video I can watch someone typing on it?

Thank you
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyH32:
I have moved from the Touch Pro (with keyboard) like yourself I used it for texts and emails, I thought I would hate the new keyboard but its pretty good, its got heptic feedback on the keys and they are nicely spaced out. Its very responsive to use, the best HTC keyboard I have used and I dont make many mistakes and dont have to use stylus.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlp_svk:
new keyboard is great for typing...holding it in two hands a writing with both fingers without any mistake...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smackhacker:
That is indeed good news. Can't wait until I get mine. Hopefully it arrives tomorrow. I also type a lot on it and I am hoping that will be a pleasant experience.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowline:
Personally I have gone from an AT&T Tilt (Full HW Keyboard) to the TD2 and also thought I would hate the lack of hardware keyboard, but it has really grown on me, and with no problems at all with typing I might stick with the TD2 instead of going onto the TP2. It just works for me, though lack of 3g sucks for me here in the states... lol
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonexclusive:
I'm thinking of maybe getting the UK version, cause the device is delayed here in Norway.

Question is: Is it difficult to access special symbols (letters) like Æ Ø Å on the UK keyboard?

I've never owned an HTC device so don't know how one normally access them. They are however crucial, and used quite frequently.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkai:
This is a very interesting question, I have refrained from UK version till now, waiting for the french version only to get a soft keyboard with french layout (including é, ç, à, ...). I do not care having the OS localized in english (in fact, i would even choose english over french for the OS), but the qwerty layout is a deal breaker.

Is it possible to change the keyboard layout? Or even better, add different keyboard layout and T9 dictionaries so they appear simultaneously in the WinMo entry switcher? I would love to just switch among the different keyboard installed if needed (having a french one and a non-western thai one would be great, adding japanese would be even better :-) )
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smackhacker:
I ordered mine from Expansys and they told me, after having talked to HTC, that it would be possible to update the device to include different keyboard layouts. I hope this is correct, because I cannot be without Swedish characters. Otherwise, could Fingerkeyboard solve the issue?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paalkr:
Hi!

Originally I got the 20th of April as a dispatch date form KlartSvar (the reseller used by my employer), but as you say the device is delayed. I talked to a representative from Brightpoint this morning regarding the delay, and he said that the new delivery date to resellers is the 5th of May. Hopefully this is correct, I will wait until then before deciding if I have to look around for a WWE edition somewhere.

If someone could give some information about if it's possible to write accent characters on the WWE xT9 keyboards, I would appreciate the feedback.

I guess that cabs for all languages for EzInput2 (topaz HTC keyboards) will eventually be available anyway, when localized devices start hitting resellers in different countries.

Regards,

PK
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsixda:
Are you using the default EzInput? And in landscape mode or portrait? I have a Diamond and had to give up on the Full QWERTY as well as the Compact QWERTY because I hated one-handed typing (and it was too small to type with both hands).

I am currently using SpB Keyboard on my Diamond, with the landscape fullscreen keyboard, and so far that has helped a lot. I can type really fast with two thumbs now.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuflie:
Special characters are available with the WWE version using the HTC full qwerty keyboard. They aren't visible on the keyboard, but if you press and hold for example the a key a popup character selector appears giving access to

eight different variations of accent including the Æ and Å (I'm typing this on a MAC and don't know how to access these characters on it so can only copy and paste)

You can also used the standard WM keyboard and get at them by pressing the symbol key, but its really only usable with the stylus.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1709887:
I've got a Diamond, so my question is how is the qwerty keyboard in portrait mode? The reason I ask is because I read a review that said the screen width has not changed between the Diamond and Diamond2. That doesn't seem right. Can anyone comment on both the screen width and typing in portrait mode?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paalkr:
Hi!

Thanks for the feedback! What about the xT9 dictionary then, is it possible to switch to a different languages in the WWE edition? If so, which languages?

Regards,

PK
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuflie:
Its locked to english, but there may have been an option to select a different language at setup time, to be honest I can't remember and don't want to hard reset to find out. Perhaps someone else will know? If its English only that shouldn't really be a problem, just flash a ROM in your own language when its available.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smackhacker:
Got my D2 today. Very happy. But there is no language option as far as the keyboard goes. Have not tried fingerkeyboard yet.

home screen problem after changing theme

After change my M2D theme, the calender section in my M2D home screen displays 2 appoinments with overlapping fonts. I cant read my appointments because they are overlapping. why?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Steady Ron:
I had this problem with the first themes I tried on my Polaris. It has to do something with the settings of the text-rectangular-coördinates in the 'HTCHomeSettings.xml'-file. There are a few posibilities (when the problem did occur with the skin I posted, otherwise there are others), I'll try them in these order:

1. Try a soft reset.

2. You can try to disable tochflo (settings - today- items - TouchFLO) before installing the new one. After installing the new skin soft reset en enable touchflo again.

3. Aply the theme with the 'windows-download' instead of the m2dc-one, it's also attached to the first post now.

4. Overwrite the HTCHomeSettings.xml-file in your windows folder with the one I aplied in the first post.

Please report me if this stil doesn't work. Its best that you give a screenshot in your post. You can make screenshots with the following app.: View attachment 179456

do you think it should still be able to display the very useful two that you intended it to do?

Greetz, Steady Ron.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Steady Ron:
Great:D! Im glad to hear that:)!

Enjoy;).

Greetz, Steady Ron.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Steady Ron:
This depends:

1. When you install m2dc it's easy to find your files. In that case they must be under program files - m2dc - themes. In m2dc it's also easy to delete them in it's main menu. So when I was you I would install m2dc.

2, When you do't use m2dc its more difficult but when you're doing it the right way you will overwrite the old files when you install a new theme.

3. When your memory is still full. Disable touchflo (under settings - personal - today - items). Search tot files that start with hh_... (hh stands for Htc Home) and delete theme. Then reïnstall the theme of your choice and re-enable tochflo. It's best to do a soft reset afterwards.

Greetz, Steady Ron.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Steady Ron:
I'm not sure if it works with Kaiser to:rolleyes:. Did you overwrite the HTCHomeSettings.xml file with the one I posted in the first post? In most cases that will work:o.

Yust give a shout here when it's still not working. Maybe I can help you in an other way:).

Greetz, Steady Ron.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dblonde:
yes, tried the xml file also but that made the clock messed up and the calender still only had one option showing.

never mind, it works well apart from that bug i mentioned on the kaiser.

Is it possible to make topbar (system icons) and softkey bar transparents, as in wm 6.5?

And where can i find a transparent slider like this (with footprint icon)?

And i'm searching a transparent clock like this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3100511&postcount=3 (with transparent slider as you can see)...

Waaauww, that sure looks nice. At this moment I can't help you with your question but I've downloaded the zips and the cab and I'm gona have a look at it 'cause I like it pritty much to. I'll gona get back to you when I know more (either good or bad news). What I'm gonna try is to make the corresponding pmg-files compatibble for TF2D.

Ps: I would be nice a manila 2d theme like this one (with transparent elements)

and "Colorfull" background in all tabs like this one (i have .png file)

but i'm not able to create it... :(
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Steady Ron:
well, no succes. What I found for you was this: View attachment 181384. You can extract the clock-btn from it (it's the 'hh_hm_clock_bg-file).

I don't know how to make top- and softkeybar transparent. You can try to search in the windows-folder for the file and replace or edit it but that means a lot of search-time.

For the transparent slider, you can try to edit mine (it's the 'hh_fw_tabbtn-' and the 'hh_fw_tabbtn_mask-file') out of the windows-skin-folder in the first post.

As you can see it's not much for the moment but I'm gonna try further.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Steady Ron:
It's not that difficult to learn. What you have to do is find the skin and when it's a m2d-file you have to install it first on your ppc with m2dc. After this you can copy al hh_.....-files to your pc and edit al of them. When the skin is brought to you in a windows-format it's a lot easier because you can skip the m2dc-step. What you can do first is have a look at all your hh_.....-files that are installed as your current skin. I've learned it myself in the same way, the only thing you need is patience and time.

You can also try to get some help here.

Greetz, Steady Ron.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] 4s8kalz:

There was only 2 samples....

The first if for tf3d, so not for Polaris (found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=500880, "googling" image's address).

The 2nd is a wm 6.5 theme (found probably here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=501506 or here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=499611).

I'm trying to create a m2d theme with trasparent elements and this coloured background in all tabs.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Steady Ron:
I'm on it now. I'm trying to contact the makers of the themes so I can ask them to post or send the files so we can edit them.

Greetz, Steady Ron.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] 4s8kalz:
I think it's not possible for manila 2d..

But i'm not an expert....
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Steady Ron:
When we have the images in png-format it's possible. We'll see.

Greetz, Steady Ron.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] 4s8kalz:
I tried to modify another theme (extracting the .png files), but the trasparent effect (i.e. the slider) is not visible.

I think is only possible to minimize the dimension of the tabs, as you can see in the thread of manila 2d skin.

mmm... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=511822
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Steady Ron:
I can asure you that it's possible to make the images transparent but I also have to do some work before I know how to. Others have done it so we can to. For now: can you post a screenshot of what you have now? I have the colloured lined background now and I'm messaging with some other xda-user to try to get a grip on the transparent png's. The upper and lower bar in transparency seems to be impossible in wm6.1.

The search continues.

Edit

: I have all the files I need now from the maker of the 'grass'-tfm3d-skin. Still packed in some cab's. So lots of credits to him (MobileMatt), you can see his work here.

Now there's a lot of unpack and edit-work to do. I'll get back when it's finished!! Only thing not possible for sure now is to make the upper and lower bar in wm6.1 transparent.

Greetz, Steady Ron.

And i think it's not possible to make upper and lower bars transparent...

It needs trasparent focus for all tabs (as in the home tab), but i don't know if it is possible (.bmp files cannot be transparent).
