Hi!I just installed Android 2.0.1 on my Diamond with no problems at all(although the battery drains damn fast,camera and bluetooth kissed us goodbyes and GPS...wrong!)!
However,having used the Hero for a while now(I have both),I miss the Sense UI.I know I might be asking for a little too much,as it is still under development,but is there any way I can find an Android build with Sense?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Sense isn't gonna be on the diamond for a while yet, check the main thread
If you used search, you would of found that out, please don't just make a new thread for everything

has anyone had a look at THIS..i think if touch hd n rapheal can have it, we can also ( i got to the boot screen which kept looping at a lower res)
Do keep in mind that the diamonds RAM is a lot lower and the ram usage in android is not very good with the current builds..

Did you try the SensePack for Android?
Yeah,RAM is IMO the worst aspect of the diamond...192?What is that?That's not only an android problem!WinMo also has issues with lack of RAM,especially 6.5!
And btw the reason why I created this thread was that I couldn't find a satisfying answer to my question!
Anyway,I tried aHome Lite(full version and GDE are paid and currently not available here in Greece) and it crashed like ****.It only popped the well known message that the process ahome.blah blah blah is not responding.
A question I'd like to ask is whether it actually runs ON WinMo or is WinMo closing before Android boots?Anyway the ****ty amount of RAM makes it annoying whatever the case is!

I got to the main screen of Sense Hero..
1 - changed startup.txt : mtype to 1805
2 - i took the zimage from latest eclair (Keep the same if you want to)
3 - while booting it got stuck to HTC shiny screen so i deleted the Swapfile and tried...it booted up but PATIENCE is what we need. it takes a longtime and too much of Lag.
lets keep trying it...Best of luck!
There are android phones with the same amount of ram as the diamond (ie. galaxy/spica). So it should do fine but the build is just an early alpha . Patience patience..
Nickschot I hope you're right!It's such a nice phone!Why would it get stuck with WinMo 6.1(because 6.5 isn't it's thing) and get no attention?
Anyway...Will try Sensepack...Be back for report!
Well...First off it's laggy and buggy as **** and using it really needs patience!However as I see that's because of Sense...Is there any way to disable it?It appears to be working better than bare android...

Yes Data and sensepack gets created .... Yes it came in as a fullscreen but it was too laggy so decided to put a hold on to it...will stick to Android Eclair testing as of now...
I suppose I too will stick with Eclair(vanilla) cause sense messes things up really much...Right now,except for unbearable lagging and countless bugs Sense doesn't support fullscreen so you have to turn it off,Wi-Fi doesn't work(unlike vanilla Eclair which has a pretty much normal connection) and many things cause Android to reset.So I came to think...Android is really nice and functional without Sense!
However,is there any way to port Hero's look to the diamond?Without Sense crap.As long as the device is recognised as the Hero it seems to work better,more smoothly and fluid...Plus I love the black menus!

Try Panda Home from Market Place and search for Hero Theme.....
Dude...I didn't know about panda home!It kicks ass!And it's really light!Less lag!And to think I was stuck with aHome Lite as my home replacement...Of course aHome full and GDE(?) must be better,however there are no paid apps available for Greece yet!
Hello people, I am doing this from work so I hope you can understand why I really haven't had 100% time to devote to researching (I did however devote more than 80% to research) I Have a US T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. I flashed a ROM on it about a month ago and then I got hooked but I wanted something that I saw where the ROM has animated gestures for Weather and other cool aesthetic features (Manila 2.6, or ManilaMan I believe). I do still need it to be not freezing and such. I went and tried to install a manila rom and after that I got freezing and my screen wouldn't get back to normal (it stays just black) I was told I may need to wipe my phone clean (perhaps with Task 29) and flash a normal compatible T-Mobile US rom and THEN put the FLASHY looking COOKED ROMS on. Basically I would like to have a nice flashy rom without the stuttering slowdowns on my TP2 also and I'd like to know what to do 1st. I've seen plenty of threads that end up giving you 98% information and the other 2% ends up bricking your phone. If I could get some links to better my search for knowledge I would really like that. I know this is long and I truly appreciate this, I haven't even made a twitter account yet.lol. Enjoy your day people.

Head on over to the WinMo ROM development board and get the latest EnergyROM. The one with Manila 2.5. I'm pretty sure that's what you're looking for
Hello, I tried searching around but couldn't find any similar problem.
I've created my own bootanimation.zip which can be downloaded here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=576GF823 Its Red Wings Related, showing the Center Ice at Joe Louis Arena, then an awesome goal by zetterberg, then loops center ice again. That all works great.
The problem I've run into is that the first time it plays any of the animations they are slow. and when I'm only playing the goal once it goes in slow mo, if i loop it, the 2nd time it plays fast as it should. Is there anyway to fix this? I originally was just doing the goal, then the center ice on loop. I tried putting 1 center ice first, hoping it would take the lag and allow the goal to play full speed, but it doesn't.
Any help is appreciated.
The first playback is slow because it has to load every frame into memory while simultaneously performing the boot process. After all frames are cached, there's no more fighting other processes for access to the system partition.
I'm not 100% on this, but I don't think you can do anything to pause the boot sequence for that first load of the animation.
HTC Vision (G2) - CM7 B62 w/AUS radio
Yeah, I just ran into this same issue making my own. :/
I wish there was a way to pre-cache the boot animation, if it ran full framerate then I'd actually get to see the whole clip when the phone boots.
Mine has no loop though, it's one continuous clip.

Not sure what application you used to make you're bootanimation, but I made mine in After Effects and this is what I did to fix the issue. When rendering I made the dimensions half of the actual screen dimensions (this ended up being 960x600 for my tf700t), then I set the frame rate to 10fps. I then modified the desc.txt file accordingly:
1920 1200 18
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
(don't copy/paste that, can't remember if you need spaces or not).
Basically I used smaller, less demanding files (and by modifying the export framerate, fewer of them) and then had the tablet just blow them up to fit the screen. No discernible loss in quality. Hopefully this helps someone out there.
Hi everyone
I'm in the process of making my own boot animation which I am sure you will all like
However, I am using LeeDroid's boot animation as a base and my soundtrack that goes along with the animation is twice as long as the LeeDroid one. Will it still all play when the phone turns on or will it stop after a certain point?
EDIT: Also, even after using PNGCrush on the frames I am still getting file sizes like 125Kb at the beginning. I read that they aren't really supposed to be over 35Kb. Any way I can reduce these file sizes?
Sorry I have so little to go on, I've done a lot of experimenting with ROMs in the last month and I lost track of my daily use ROM.
The main thing I can recall is the boot screen was of Lloyd the Android mascot -- it was just a still image but a 3D rendering of him, I believe.
Well, I think that was the right one...
There was also one with a green glowing sort of swirly star particle effect animation for the boot screen. That one may have been it, actually.
