HTC touch to Diamond question - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

i have a htc touch for half a year now.
i have the mobile shell 2.1 customized in the diamond style. it works a lot better. but i have a question:
my brother did get his new diamond this week.
can i go to my computer then to my phone and copy all the files from his diamond (including the windows on his phone) and replace all these files on my touch?
so i get his windows and diamond settings directly and original (stock) on my touch?
is there anyone who has an answare for my question?
thanks a lot

nope
the diamond's files are cooked into the rom, assume a vga screen and different hardware, and 3d acceleration
so i suppose you could, but nothing would happen

are you GSM or CDMA. if you are CDMA then go to ppcgeeks there are people there working on porting all that we can from the diamond.

whats the diffirence between gsm and cdma? sometimes i get lost in all these names for those phones: touch, elf, pda, pocket windows etc....
but now that i thought myself about my question:
the phone needs to be activated befor you can connect to the pc. when you try to overwrite it says cant copy because "......" is already in use.
its damn. because i like the elf very much and also the diamond windows
thanx a lot

Does Anyone Know if the HTC Touchflow interface will work on other devices?

Im quite new to this, but I read somewhere that the HTC touch and all the touch series are not real touch systems like the iPhone in that they also allow the use of a stylus.
Does this mean that they basically use the same type of screen as the other devices and as such the Touchflow system is just a Software trick ?
That led me to wonder if the Touchflow system could be flashed onto other devices I have an XDA Exec (Universal) and an XDA Orbit (not sure of the HTC designation for this) so Im specifically asking about these two devices.
Thanks in advance.
Touchflo!!
If you search threads for Xda orbit (HTC Artemis or HTC P3300) touchflo, you can download the ROM to replace the existing ROM on your Orbit and this will allow you to use the touchflo on your phone!
I've been using it for the past few months and it's all fine at the moment.
I hope that enough info for you!

does someonae has the new HTC touch 3d........-----
I WANT IT.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
isnt it only for htc touch diamond?
It isn't out yet. The 3d Touchflo Interface debuts with the HTC Diamond. Should be out by June/July.
I forgot to mention that the 3d Touchflo Interface demands better hardware and memory than most of the devices any of us has currently. The chances that it will run smoothly with our devices are very slim.
I think its a little sluggish on Touch Diamond itseld from what Ive heard from some of those who attended the press event.
Imagining it on Artemis could only be a joke.. It requires a GPU. And it also looks like this application has a lot of locks preventing cookers from porting. But still XDA-dev has much better hackers to overcome those. Lets wait for the devices on the market first.
Regards,
Carty..
here is a couple of words...i'd like to have 3d,but i suppose its not possible
However, a TouchFLO 3D upgrade for current HTC Touch smartphones (like the Touch, Touch Dual or Touch Cruise) isn't planned due to increased and changed hardware requirements.

if this was called HTC manila when it was in the development stage then i hav a ver of this(cab file) which is meant for VGA screen PPCs only
fair does that phone looks stunning,i was gonna get the orbit 2, but the diamond is much faster and better looking, quite looking forward to this one
After see Pontui Home runing so smoothly on my Artemis, I have a little hope that this programa will not demand a Hi-end hardware to run. I HOPE!!!

HTC manila AKA touch flo 3D
here you go
http://www.4shared.com/file/47016031/5436a738/manila1001030release.html
i checked it........it is the same user interface tht is in the htc diamond
but remember it is only for VGA ppcs n wont work on artemis
some people hav tried it on various VGA ppcs n the app runs only on HTC made ppcs(doesnt work on O2 XDA flame)
u may get framerates like 10-15fps
I have a X50v that's with my friend. I'll make a try...
Hi, In this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363500&page=14
a developer called dobb try to adapt the manila VGA to QVGA and release a version alpha and beta that works in the qvga devices but obviously run slow and need to adapt the soft buttons. You can install the cab of VGA version and the dll's, thus overwrite the files in manila folder with the alpha or beta version of QVGA.(This version need to polish more)
The version posted for sheennick123456 was a beta of touchflo3d leaked in january 2008, and with greater reason, the actual version should run faster.
I have no doubt that any developer here not only achieved by extracting the touchflo3d but also the driver to run correctly.
Think about that:
When "Touch" released, HTC said the touchflo could only run on those Devices because of the special hardware (screen), but there are many of us who run the touchflo in our Artemis without such hardware (screen).
Greetings
really it isn't working... i installed it and i don't know how to uninstall.. anybody??
it creates a folder named manila somewhere in the device memory
i dont recollect the exact path but i guess it is in the my documents
all u have to do is delete this folder
If you want to uninstall you have to:
delete the folder in Program Files/Manila
delete all registry in HKLM/software/microsoft/today/items/manila
delete manilatoday.dll in windows folder
I tried in my artemis and works slowly but the second beta needs more work.

wm6.5 T-Mobile rom please?

I have a MDA Compact IV (equivelant to touch diamond). I have used a number of diamond roms and love some of the features in the 6.5 roms (i.e. new lock interface).
However i have problems using all the t-mobile features via web n walk such as mobiletv, youtube, windows live etc.
Is it possible to have wm6.5 with the t-mobile customisation?
Thanks
I don't think so.
Custom ROMs are made to get rid of provider stuff and such crap.. the only way you might get your stuff is, imho, that you dump a ROM from your provider and grab all .cab files you need to get everything working.
have to admit the same day I got my MDA with in the first hour I was trying to get rid of all the T-Mobile branding and the software and the ugly pink colors that T-Mobile had and am glad I dont have the branding stuff on there as still a T-Mobile customer.With the WM 6.5 I have notice the battery holds alot longer and the Extra cap.bat original HTC bat with cover holds almost a whole week.Like they said you will have to extract the cab file from the t-mobilr rom and install them ,if they work on the 6.5 ,I am not so sure.

Winmo pro for dash?

Has there been a cooked WinMo Pro rom for the dash? I was trying to install Fennec onto my Dash with the 3vo 6.5 rom and it is not working. Checked the site and it is for WinMo Pro. Any help would be appreciated.
I used to try fennec, but it didn't work on DASH! Fennec is for Windows Mobile Pro (on POCKET PC with touch screen). DASH uses Windows Mobile Standard (for non-touch mobile). So, I think there's no one cook WinMo Pro for Dash! Sorry for my poor English!
I don't think you should be trying to flash a rom for ppc into a smartphone unless your trying to brick your phone! just a thought!

Oh, I guess that is why there was no courser like on Skyfire, I need a touch screen device for it to work. Thanks.

Got another HTC can I use same software

I used to have a HTC Blackstone: Touch HD but I could not get used to not having a keyboard so I got the HTC Touch Pro 2 instead.
I had a Dutch Windows 6.5 (found on this forum) and HDWalls and everything. I wonder can I just install the same Windows 6.5 and HDWalls and do the HSPL again, the same way I did on the HT HD Touch.
Or do I need to research and download everything from scratch?
Thank you so much.
No, you must use the roms from this section on your rhodium. So start from scratch and read a lot
HDwalls can be used on any windows mobile device.
Ah, ok thank you so much, I was worried you were going to say that.
Oh, well...I will start reading
