Hello! I need help with changing the clock on my HTC Touch Diamond (VERIZON).
Okay, guys... I am SO frustrated I could absolutely SCREAM.
I've had the phone for a week, and I've spent hours, literally, trying to change the CLOCK appearance. It is currently ANALOG and has an atrocious purple background that I HATE.
Here's the main screen, so you can see what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have installed some themes successfully, and everything changes but the clock! I can't get rid of that purple background, and can't change the style from Analog to FLIP, which is what I really want.
I have tried to install several clocks from the clock thread on this site, and followed the instructions to the letter - soft reset the phone and..... NOTHING. Still the same awful analog clock with the purple background.
I have also downloaded TF3D Config, hoping a new Theme will override the clock, but can't get any themes to appear in the drop down menu no matter what Path I choose (another massive source of frustration).
Sorry for the rant, but seriously, I'm about to throw this phone out the window. Part of the fun of having a phone like this is the customization features, and if I can't figure out how customize it, why bother?
I really hope someone can help with some detailed, step by step instructions or send me to a thread that has the answers. Believe me, I've literally spent hours searching this site and the rest of the web and can't find a specific answer. Maybe it's because Verizon's version hasn't been out for very long?
I'm definitely a newbie at this stuff, but I can read/follow instructions - so please, please help!!! (That's right - I'm begging! LOL...)
Sorry for the long post! Thanks so much for reading this and I hope to get some replies soon.

Did you ever get an answer for this, just got the touch diamond today and this is driving me nuts as well.
let me know
thanks
You have to install nissedilligaf's sprint2flipclock (search the forum) and don't forget to soft reset. That nasty ugly purple background will be removed after soft reset, then you can install any clock you want. Find any flip clock or analog and just copy it to your windows folder on your device. Don't forget to thank nisse for his work.

Hi - I have a new (unlocked) TytN II which so far has just the date on the today screen...
There's some fantastic screen shots of what you guys have done with your today screens...which I'd love to recreate on mine...but I'm new to all this and just havne't got a clue what I am doing - which programs to download and then how to get them onto my phone...
I would be enormously grateful if someone could talk me through how to do it - feel free to treat me like an idiot - I am reasonably computer literate but this is all a bit beyond me...
Many thanks in advance...
Naomi
Hi,show us what kind of today you want and we'll help you.For example i use htchome,htc sprint plugin and batterybar,with customised icons.

I really like that one - but with coloured icons would be cool? I usually use black and white photos as a background...
I'm yet to work out how to make the most of my phone but key applications I use so far are SMS, internet, weather, contacts, music, pictures, camera, clock...
Thanks so much!
No problem,i've made differents icon's pack,i send all my creations by pm if you want for all the plugins.
Sorry, what is PM?
PM = private message,look on the top of the forum under your name,i've just send you one.
Can you please sen it to me to?
ok,i post all my pack here.Just do the package.
thank you for posting the files but as a newbie i have no clue what to do with them.
is there anywhere where i can get a step by step how to or instructions on how to install the three files you posted?
How much space will this take and can they be installed onto the external MICRO SD CARD?
I just bought a 4 gig card and will install TOM TOM GPS SW on it.
thank you in advacne for your help and consideration
TyTN II modification
I think that the original HTC TyTN II interface is ugly and would like to change to like the one in HTC Touch Pro. If I change, will it void my warranty? ...since I have just bought it for 5 months. And, since I am a total newbie, is there anyone here who can give me a step-to-step guidance to change this?
Besides that, one problem with HTC TyTN II is that the ringtone will be muted occasionally due to some god-knows-dunno-wat-reason. And it's annoying really, especially when you are expecting an important call or message. Will my problem be solved if I change the interface then? (please say yes )
I do hope you guys can give me good suggestions on which interface for me to switch to. I prefer cool, classy, yet smooth interface.
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

This is my first theme so bare with me. Lol may not be the cleanest going to work on it more. Putting this out to get ideas and see what other think. Suggestions are always welcome. I didn't make any of the Icons only modded a couple for use on the theme.
Even though they dont seem to be copyrighted by the authors on Deviant art just want to give credit were credit is due.
The Decepticon and Autobot Icons by ~Blackthorn87 on deviantart.com
Majority of the Icons are made by ~ypf on Deviantart.com
At this point this is an 1.43 ADP1.1h theme. When Im done going to work on RC33 next
From here I have changed a few Icons and still working on some of the internals including the status bar.
Here we go....
The Clock is going to be changed most likely i threw it together as I was leaving the house for work today, really as you can see it is just an Autobot Symbol with the Kpec Clock Hands.
Aswell as the battery Icon will be changed, was just messing around with it as it is my first theme. Any Suggestions would be great.
But let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

Different Clock
Trash Can
I used those icons before for a theme.
Check this out maybe you could get some ideas,cause there's more than meets the eye lol....

That looks awesome, Will have to see what I can do with it. Will have to put in work to have it look as good as yours lol... But I will give it a go.
Great idea man i requested one in other thread so cant wait to see the final version of yours!
The clock looks pretty sweet, but it is hard to see where the breaks in the logo are any chance you could send it to me to play around with, just the logo.
Just an update Im still working on this theme had somethings come up that required my full attention so haven't done much with it in a few days but should be getting back into this week.
Have had to put this on the back burner I know that there didn't seem to be much of a response for it but if anyone wants I can get them what i have and they can proceed with it. I have other things with work and what not that I need to focus on.
PM me if you are interested, or at one point i will come back to it if I dont hear from anyone, I hate to leave things unfinished.
This one is for all the New Orleanians and folks from the Gulf South who remember K&B and still refuse to step foot in a Rite Aid even to this day.
Just doing my part to represent the 504. What up, wodie.* Holler. etc.
This is my first theme and I'm still working on it, but wanted to throw it up here just to provide some additional motivation to finish it.
Granted, there's probably about 3 people on the site that will know what it's in reference to, but some of you might just like purple. **
In the end I took the K&B logo out of the battery icon since I figured someone would like it just as a pink/purple theme without the obscure reference to a non-existant regional drug store chain.
I did not touch any of the home icons***, as I don't like that mix and match look that that usually results in, plus I'm just that lazy.
To Do: I'll probably change up some more wallpaper, finish tinting the menu icons (it's a rabbit hole once you start changing them,) and maybe go through and fix some of the color inconsistency that I've found... other than that it's a wrap.

** Or pink -- as many of the icons are coming out a little pinker than I was looking for but f'it. I've done this much.
*** Some of the icons that are in the screen shot are from other themes that I happen to have installed right now.

yea props on the bar too
Lookin Good dude!
Nice 1st Theme!
Fixed some notification bar icons that were bugging me. Also changed the pull tabs and some of the menu icons. This theme building crap is a friggin' rabbit hole. LOL
Updated the screenshot.
Updated dialer, mms and launcher. I'm seriously thinking about pullin out all the non .9 icons and just batch tinting them with a photoshop action. This is rediculously time consuming. lol I can't imagine replacing all these icons with completely new ones.
Screenshots updated in first post.
LOL @ 4 non blondes... used to listen to them all the time back in the day... God... does that make me old???

Yes, but probably as old as me.
I updated the screenshots with a hipper musical selection.
Hey all. My friend just got his Magic last week, and we thought we'd give themeing the Magic a shot. This port/theme is based on haykuro's Rogers rev2 ROM found here. It's just a half assed port, at best, meaning that you'll have to fix icons and the clock etc yourself, using a home alternative and/or BetterCut. This pretty muck only themes the statusbar, the statusbar notifications and the menus.
Screenshots.

And a snap of the phone itself, running the theme.
(excuse the poor quality, the camera sucks)
Just thought I'd post it here since Magic themes in this section are few and far apart. As of now it's not a proper theme as it's just a modification of the files in the complete Rogers ROM, including boot.img and all that.. which means the update file is roughly 55MB instead of the normal ~10MB for a theme.
Anyways, if anyone wants to try it out, here it is: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HVDX8XY6
I take no responsibility for it, it might brick your phone. Try at own risk.
Nice one The desktop could use some new icons imho

Yeah, it's by all means not a complete theme. Just a proof of concept, if you will. I wanted to try Magic themeing out.
It's unlikely I'll ever finish it.
what is this for a weather app? o.o
is it possible to make black clean themes and use simple clean icons like the iphones. i do have an iphone but im in love with android so im not an oh my god i love iphone , just that the UI is so clean....Androids is very good as well but id like to have it cleaner, no fancy nothin simple black grey and white. Throw some cool orange/yellow in there.
Thanks
One app I keep using a lot of the time is the notes application.
Just to quickly jot something down, or to look up something I wrote earlier.
It would be great if there were a new tab integrated into Touchflo (or Sense, whatever)
I know how to do a bit of programming of my own, but no idea how to create something which would add a new tab to another program such as TF3D.
But yeh, I'm just putting the idea out there.
Please comment if you like this idea.
I hope someone out there will find the time to attempt making this, as it would be a great addition for Touchflo.
Heres a little mockup I made:
(sorry for the poor graphics)

Select notes along the slider on the right.
To make a new note, slide to the top one (which is blank)
start drawing on it.
Press the tick button, bottom right to save
To delete, slide to the note you want to delete, then click the delete
button, bottom right.
Thanks Dude, This is totally awesome imho....
very nice idea..
I would also add the functionality of reminder...
Sometimes I need to remember something that Ill quickly note but then even forget to look at it...
so very good idea if reminder was added too...
Are there any DEVs feeling the same?
Thats a great idea.
I agree. That would be a nice thing to have
sorry to go off topic, but where did you get your tray skin for 6.5.1?
Thanks for those who've replied, I really hope a dev actually does something like this.
The skin is the one that came with the ROM im using.
Cant remember what the ROMs called though.
Won't be possible sorry.
As far as I understand it, the code for manilla isn't released by HTC, so attempting to add a tab would be impossible?
You sure its not possible?
A new tab has been made before you know :/
Check this out
If you could find a notes today plugin program you could use the manila today tab program you referenced.
That is not a "tab" persay. It displays the today screen and therefor you can show a today plugin, but not add any specific manilla features.
