[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] littld:
To be honest I agree witth the poster. i had an Elfin before and it was much faster. Diamond has limited storage and too little ram. With Elfin I used to try out new roms for fun now its necessity.I have tried 30+ Diamond roms and most give out of memory errors or have lots of bugs. Don Salaris romd seem to get the most out of it but its still sluggish on 6.5 where Elfin handled it fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zonz:
Maybe buying a DIAMOND is now a mistake with all the new phones that came out since it was released.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nirak:
i have to admit i was a little disappointed bout the speed too when i bought the diamond awhile ago, but on the other hand the VGA screen is really way better then the QVGA i had on my Jade.

After a few months of flashing, tweaking, flashing, tweaking..... i'm more then satisfaid with the performance, keeping in mind that this device is a little out dated already.

I'm sure that when you update the device's Radio and find the ROM that suits your needs you'll start to like it more.

Btw...the WM6.1 ROMS are a little faster in use and the 'older' TF3D interfaces don't consume as much RAM as Sense 2.5 does.

Another point for me is that i've not been able to find a better looking device yet. All the newer devices are so big and square; they all look the same and only differ in size.

And yes, lol.....i'm a woman.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GlemSom:
The Diamond is getting a bit old! There's a lot of newer (more interesting) phones on the market. (Ever tried a Android Phone?... WOW they're nice!).

Anyway, I bought my phone a while ago - and I don't wanna spend extra money buying a new phone - since the Diamond IS working ok... If however my diamond should brick or something, I wouldn't buy a Diamond again - I would go for one of the nice HTC Android phones... HTC Hero I think would be my bet now.

There's a lot of interesting ROMs here, that give new life to the Diamond - but if you want a fast device... I would recommend using a lite rom - WITHOUT touchflo or anything fancy like that... just plain WM61 og WM65.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Badwolve1:
to be honest, i wasn't to keen on the diamond with the stock stuff, but in 30 mins, you can have a nice speedy device WITH GOOD GPS

Fast rom = L3V5Y's 28014 Light rom :)

although, if was buying now, i would probably choose HD2 (Leo) or Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium)

none the less

i like my Diamond :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Thejackal_71:
A diamond is forever :D:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djfuego:
Progress.

I'm surprised the Diamond is still being sold. I've had mine for about a year now.

The gps is laggy but hardly slow at connecting. With the right rom and radio you can get a fast boot and relyable reception. I have to say that bying a Diamond so late after it's release was a bit stupid. If you did buy the phone today then you should be able to send it back for a refund or exchange. In the UK most companies give a 14 day cool-off period so if you aren't satisfied with the phone then send it back and get something more recent.

You can't compare it to phones out on the market today as technology has progressed. It's like getting a secondhand PC off your mate and wondering why it's not as fast as the one you saw at PC world the other day.

If you want fast Windows mobile phone you should do your homework first. I agree the Trinity was a good phone. It had a lot of buttons and good battery life. But it was a bit of a chubby brick in comparison.

oh and Don't let any sales rep dis-wade you. You get what you pay for.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Boyo92:
I love my Diamond... Works a treat. Try flashing a new rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zenga:
Thanks

Thanks for all the answers.

I didn't buy a new diamond, but an used one. In Portugal, there's still possible to buy a new one, but for the price we can almost buy a Touch HD.

The pda is beautifull, i was used to really fat and big ones (Qtek S200 and HTC P3600) and this one is really thin.

My expectations were high conserning speed, i thout that if the Trinity is fast on WM6.1 the Diamond must be faster even in the heaviest rom's.

I've tried some rom's, original WM6.1, WM6.5, someones with sense, but none of them satisfied me.

Can someone tell me a fast one? I prefer rom's with manila.

The rom i now use is L3V5Y's 28014 Light rom and my radio is 1.15.25.14

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] melgashop:
try don salari clean basic light rom. Or use the kitchen provided by yozgatg and customize the gen y rom according to your preferences. I've done that with his R4.4A and I always have free rom around 60% (after using it for some hours).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nirak:
if you like manila you could also try Donsalari's WM6.5/Sense2.5 or 2.1 rom (2.1. is quit simular to original TF3D 2.1, but with some upgrades like the weather home page)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=593678
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ianaluve:
I second that!

I second the recommend on Don Salari's ROM. After using the diamond on Dutty's 6.1 ROM for almost a year, I wanted to switch a 6.5 ROM. I've tried quite a few but ended up using Don's basic light ROM. I've been using it for about a month and half now without problems, which is the longest I've kept a rom since Dutty's. I have to admit the roms with 6.5 do make the diamond a little laggy. Sticking with a light rom is the best option if you're a heavy user and use memory intensive programmes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] orange-nl:
I'm waiting for the photon. I read it will be the new diamond. Like the hd2 but smaller. HD2 is too big for me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kang.t7:
Yes i agree!! As as EX-Owner of a Diamond for over 1 year.

& yes i was a FLASH Whore :p

Moved to HTC Hero few months ago....The speed and responsiveness :D :D :D

Its pretty much on Par with Iphone in terms of speed! However, unlike apple

HTC/GooGle don't assume its users are incompetent retards / noobs.

So u can tweak the crap out of the phone.

Once u go ANDROID!! You wont go back..LOL

Battery

By the way,

My battery onli last's for 1 an half day at a normal use.

Is it normal?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jfran:
thats about correct if you are using the standard battery
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zenga:

Is there a non standard?

Were can i buy it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hamid reza:
I Love my Diamond, if i want to buy new phone like hd2 i will never sell my diamond.

every time you check xda there is new thing to exprience

Diamond ForEver!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
In comparison to what is out there now and especially with how some chefs are playing around with 2.5 manila on diamonds truly shows that the limits of diamond have been caped. If you are cool with no more upgrade excitement from xda, then great, keep your diamond.

.... upgrade or not the diamond, has always has been plagued with not enough memory (ram) right from the beginning and with no ability to upgrade vis SD card it just screams one thing. ___________PICK SOMETHING ELSE ____________

If you are purchasing right now.......A diamond 2 at the very least is more favorable as prices are coming down.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] il_padrone:
Has anyone gotten this particular set up to work. June Fabrics has released software for both the handset and desktop. I have been unable to get it to work. Their support is very limited, as you may or may not know (basically FAQ page, a few notes on installation and email for questions). I emailed and was told that it "should work with my current config" So far no dice.

As I have read, and continue to read, the post here for several weeks, I have yet to find anyone who has used my particular set up with success.:(

Additionally, so far I am unable to root my phone in order to use some other methods of tethering. I believe it may have to do with my software build which is included below:

Firmware: 1.5

Baseband: 1.04.01.09.21

Kernel: 2.6.27-533ce29d

Build: 1.29.651.1 CL69164 release-keys

SW version: 1.29.651.1

HW version: 0002

Two interesting things of note... when I tried to flash root (using Modoca) AND when I tried to install new firmware update... the phone reboots then freezes on the logo. :eek:

Any Ideas?:confused:

.... Bueller.... Bueller.... Bue...ller?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dbroadus2007:
may be off topic

Have u tried just rooting your hero and putting the fresh Rom in it? It comes with WiFi tether..and it works flawlessly with my laptop or desktop computer...no need for pda net...just a thought :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] blehzz:
root it and use wifi tether (either via google code v1.70pre1 or via fresh 1.0 preinstalled)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
+1 for Wifi Tether. It's SO much easier than PDANet.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
Well, PDANet works with my MacBook running Snow Leopard. WiFi tether works but isn't the best option. It causes the battery to get really hot and drain faster than it can be charged. So even if you have it plugged up, it'll eventually die. Happened to me before.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] willowmp:
WiFi tether is a godsend for those with laptops. Really cuts the codrds on laptops, and with such simplicity too.

I love the app. Bam screen touched andconnexted to internet that ithink is faster than home. all while riding in the car.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] cmccracken:
I have a G4 iBook, and I haven't been able to get PdaNet to work either. The app on the Hero loads fine, and connects ok, but when I choose "Connect" from the menu bar PdaNet icon on the Mac, it just hangs on the spinning beach ball of doom until I unplug the USB cable.

The June Fabrics support is useless. They sent me some snippets from their FAQ and told me "it should work". I sent them loads of technical details from the system logs and USB debugging info (unsolicited), and they never even bothered to reply to me. I *REALLY* wish another player could write an app to do this. I have zero problem paying for a good app (especially if they also have good support).

WiFi tether is not so great. The encryption does not work, and even if it did work its only WEP which is not really even worth using. I'm not going to conduct my web browsing unencrypted to be shared with the world. Plus the heat and battery issues. Bluetooth would be better, but isn't available on our ROM version. USB tethering is the way to go, its a shame that there's no reliable way to do this on a Mac.

In the mean time, I'm still paying $50 a month for my stupid Sprint USB data card. I was really hoping to ditch that bill when I upgraded to the Hero. A Linux computer in the palm of my hand, and it can't even perform one of the most basic Linux tasks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] adelaney:
Bluetooth is available for internet sharing. Pair devices, adjust settings on computer, and then enable mobile connection sharing on your hero. Also, WiFi tether has more than wep encryption available. Your other option is to tether, then set up dial up connection dial #777, and enable mobile sharing. Give it a shot; search the forum or pm me with questions.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] willowmp:
Well first of all you can monitor the connections to your handset and if you see someone connect simply kick them off. It even vibrates and alerts you upon connection.

Second, even if it is WEP unless there is some hacker nobody is going to go through it. Sure it isn't that hard to crack wep but the common person doesn't really walk around with a laptop out trying to hack into wep connections, although seeing a cell phone might interest them, who knows.

I have got PDAnet installed on my computer and it works perfectly fine, first time i tried (vista).

If you are referring to your hero as the linux computer, then you are wrong because it is working perfectly fine. Has data doesn't it? I don't understand how tethering a cell phone is one of the most basic tasks in linux.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] cmccracken:
iptables/ipmasq is one of the most basic features in Linux. Its in the kernel even!
[Android Themes] PaY87:
I always watched out for a simple nice black theme without so much different stuff in it.

So I took the nicest icons from different themes, improved some things and created a new package.

Its fully compatible to Dwang 1.17.1.

Attention (for all with black screens after boot):

Don't flash this theme over a fresh/wipe install of dwang (or maybe others) run the rom once, do the startup configuration, reboot and THEN flash the theme.

I also clear the Dalvik-Cache after flashing the theme (just in case).

Important for Super D:

-Reported to work with Super D 1.1x (thanks sipvn)

-But others say no - so have a try :)

What you get:

-Black system look

-Nice picture and settings widgets

-Nice advancelauncher with some new wallpapers built-in

-ChainsDD Dialer Mod 2.51

-Smooth calling pictures

-CM-Bootscreen

-Darkstar music widget

Changelog:

[U]1.1[/U]
-AlarmClock taken from gChrome should working fine now (please report)
-Animation fix
-Added Advanced Launcher
-Updated to ChainsDD Dialer Mod 2.51

[Android Themes] ilostchild:

[Android Themes] cazper210:

This theme runs smooth on the dwang 1.17.1 i didnt have to wipe or nothing i just threw it on top of the rom and rebooted it did its lil 2 min load and everything works fine so far further testing needs to be done but all the basic are cover nicely nice theme hopefully u improve on it more
[Android Themes] turboyo:
what are the icons on this theme? eclair?
[Android Themes] sipvn:
Super D 1.1x

Just flashed it on Super D 1.1x, got stuck for 10mn now on cyan boot screen.

Did no wipe first, coming from a mix of darkstar, minus and melangette metamorph.

Will wipe everything, clean re-flash super D and try again. Will update soon.

***** EDIT *****

Works very well on super D after a full wipe. This is a beautiful theme, simple and well made. A few nice wall paper two. Icons are from eclair. Music widget similar to darkstar. Nice.
[Android Themes] _nobody:
wow looks really nice,
[Android Themes] bahnburner:
You're probably going to want to give credit to FreekyFrogy and CacheInjection for blatantly stealing the music widget from Darkstar. Just a suggestion.
[Android Themes] awdlexusis:
could you post your widgets up for us for either recovery update,or metamorph? running cyan newest rom?
[Android Themes] quickwalrus:
Tried twice with cyan rom 4.2.11.1 with no luck but a black screen after the logo screen. Which version are you using with this one?
[Android Themes] PaY87:
Do you flash the theme directly over a fresh wipe?

Try to boot in CM first then reboot and flash it again.

Else I will provide you a different package for CM.
[Android Themes] PaY87:
Well I told in the startup post that I took different stuff from different roms.

I don't know anymore where I all got it from, since I used so much different artworks. Sometimes only 2 icons, sometimes more.

I just want to give the community the option to use my combination of that. I am not hunting for credits etc. I will add it to the start post.
[Android Themes] djind:
Well, stolen, borrowed or whatever.. I like it! Looks clean and simple.

I have one question, since I have no knowledge of theming (where do I even start!)

If you could make the exact same theme, but with the enoch launcher for cyanmod, that would be great! Could you?
[Android Themes] sahurbari:
It doesn't work for 4.2.11.1 I flashed after a clean flash meaning wipe an installing htc an cyn rom an I got the black screen to its made for dwangs rom so I figured it wouldn't work just experimenting lol

You should probably read the first post. This rom is for Dwangs.

Question.. why am i getting two seperate SMS notifications? One has the new eclair icon, and the other has the old cupcake Icon... I also noticed I cant shut off the old white SMS notification... only the new one?

It also doesnt reset when i read messages so i have to hit the clear button. kinda annoying... would be nice if we had a inverted eclair icon (white bubble with black smile)
[Android Themes] PaY87:
Could you please provide a screenshot?

I don't know what you mean.

I tried it and it worked fine for me.

Are you using any third party apps?

Latest Dwang?
[Android Themes] dills84:
im an idiot. i just realized "beautifull widgets sms" widget was causing a second notification... sorry! :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] ilostchild:
Just flashed this on latest super D and not everything changed..the Power Widget is still white and so is the search Widget and the Menu bar still the same as well but the top status bar has changed and some icons has changed But stil a really good theme
[Android Themes] sipvn:
advanced launcher?

@ PaY87

What would be amazing is to have the theme compatible with advanced lauuncher (skin for the launcher itself and for the search widget. as apparently both are going together. last attached pic).

@ilostchild

Still working fine on super D. at first had a lot of troubles (stucked on bootscreen and then widget not working properly). After a full wipe (battery, cache, data) and re-flashing Super D, all went fine. (2 first pics)
[Android Themes] iB4STiD:

I solved replacing "anim" folder in "framework-res.apk" with the one in "framework-res.apk " of dwang's rom
[Android Themes] iB4STiD:
Thanks SO MUCH!!... it was driving me crazy. odd thing is i changed the anim folder with another themes anim folder and that didnt work, but when i used dwangs it worked like a charm :D. thanks again!!!!!
[Android Themes] PaY87:
Could you please tell me how I can reproduce the "bug" ?

Then I will provide the default xml of the anim folder in the next update :)
[Android Themes] PaY87:
I will think about a advance launcher version next release :)
[Android Themes] code72:
After many tests, i "discovered" that the bug is in "options_panel_enter.xml" in framework.apk anim folder, that does a little "flash" and i solved replacing "options_panel_enter.xml" and options_panel_exit.xml with the default dwang's rom.

Now, can you help me to know wich is the xml file for the animation "go out" and "come back" to the home screen? I hope you can understand what i mean.

Thanks in advance

[Android Themes] Accused187:
A few people including myself have had issues with the alarm clock on this theme. It was posted in Dwang's thread (in the Dream forums) that the alarm clock with this theme will not make a sound when it's triggered and doesn't vibrate either.

I love the theme and so far this is the only bug I've found.
[Android Themes] djind:
Nice theme, switched to Super D rom and tried this one out. Only thing that is not so elegant is the lockscreen. Any chance in changing that in to a slick black design? Even the standard one looks nice with it, I think.

And the music and power widgets should match. The music widget is too nice to chance!

Only my thought when I was using and looking at the theme.
[Android Themes] sipvn:
Alarm Clock

I confirm as well that alarm is triggering no sound at all on Super D. Had to download one from the market (Alarmed lite).
[Android Themes] djind:
I replaced the alarmclock with the one extracted from Super D Rom (which I am on), using root explorer and setting the permissions with it. Seems to work fine now.
[Android Themes] PaY87:
Maybe its a good idea to make a release without the not changed apk apps.

I just included them incase someone installed other skins before which changed these apks.

Also I am thinking about an metamorph release. :)

Hey tried to flashed over Super D 1.4 and then 1.5, which mean to be stable.

Flashed light version and the one with advanced launcher, none worked. Tried to flashed after market and google login, full sync, same again. None work.

Flashed Enoch advanced launcher over Super D 1.5 and it does work, so I guess this time it is simply the theme which not compatible with Super D rom anymore. Sad.
