HTC Diamond interface for Omnia - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, any kind souls can guide me steps by steps how to change my Omnia to HTC Diamond interface? THanks!

I doubt if that is possible. The Manila app (the Diamond-specific interface) is made with a 480x640 resolution in mind. I don't think that it will work properly on a screen with 800x480 screen.
Apart from that, the Diamond has a dedicated 3D-chip, I don't know if the Omnia does.

check out i900.modaco.com
The manila 2d interface is running and the 3d (Touch Diamond) is being worked on.

btw, consider using FEWidgets..

Would if I could - unfortunately the ROMs based on the new source don't support it... yet...
Still, +1 for RealVGA
I have Qtek9000 (VGA). Does it "Real VGA" or not?
If I'd use trueVGA mode I'd need magnifying glasses... the pixels of this device are sooo small.. of course when I'm sitting and browsing I'm setting the font size to a size between truevga and qvga mode...

What PPC do you have? What screen resolution?
Well.. as you can see, we are in the universal forum here And i got an Qtek 9000, like you do.
The normal (base, standard) resolution is QVGA on a (hardware) VGA LCD with 640x480.
There are several tools where you can add this true VGA mode, just check some topics here or use the search.
--edit--
typo
I would if only my favorite games would work on True VGA.
Most games still assume a QVGA mode. The screen and stylus isn't aligned when playing.
Once I changed my my universal to true vga, I never want to change it to qvga,
hello , i got a question , is jasjas in normal mode is VGA or qVGA ?
because members here are talking about changing back t qvga ,and that is impossible in universal , point me if im wrong ,
QVGA = 320 x 240
VGA = 640 x 480 (universal )
real VGA = i dont know ,can ayone tell me ?
and with i once changed to Real VGA ,but i dont want it again becauseafter reading and replying one sms i had a headache ,very small fonts
goooooooooooood day
Chalk another one up for True VGA...
I had True VGA on Hemi's ROM but since my phone went in for repair and that got wiped off I've upgraded to the latest version of Ivan's Midget v3, which unfortunately doesn't support it , just hoping that Midget gets around to modding it sometime soon because there are a few features on this ROM which I would really like to use but I'd really like to use it in True VGA!
Edit:
As I understand it OzVGA had to be modded to work on WM6 in both Helmi's and Midget's ROMS (Helmi WM6 1.1 and Midget V0.1). Hopefully Midget can get around to this one of these fine days - he's probably busy debugging or building better functionality into Midget V1.0 though...
What program do you use to switch TrueVGA? OzVGA? If it is possible to "include" this option in the ROM?

Now, I like this question.
Note for the ROM developers.
See im confused? Is true VGA just VGA? Or True VGA and VGA different?

Yes they are different.. it's because of the higher dpi (dots per inch) of True VGA.
If you may notice.. VGA and QVGA screens devices pretty much look the same right? I mean, The size of fonts, icons, taskbar, etc... are the same.
But if you use True VGA, it changes the the screen dpi to a true and correct VGA dpi setting. It will fully utilize the 640x480 screen. It's like, imagine your PC 14" monitor... set it to a 640x480 resolution (it's not possible with WinXP and later unless you go to safe mode, but it's possible for Win9x/ME) and make it smaller down to 3.6". Now that's True VGA.
true VGA user here since my ipaq hx4700 days.
I dont use true vga. I have just forced adobe reader to true vga(via tweaks2k2). The ROM which I m using offers true vga in IE.
Heya, im a former universal owner, now onto the Athena. Given that the universal is the only VGA device with cooked WM6 ROMS at the moment im just wondering, is it correct that WM6 supports True VGA Mode? So no more stuffing around with tweaks and 3rd party apps etc?
There just seems to be some confussion out there as to if WM6 supports a VGA resolution and I thought you guys would know...
cheers in advance.

The older WM6 ROMS based on AKU3.5 has TrueVGA.. the newer ones don't.
Wow! 34 vs 33 votes... almost 50-50.

I myself am using Helmi's original WM6 with True VGA. I haven't found another ROM that I'd be willing to try right now. So far, I don't see myself trying another ROM until a newer WM6 build supports it.
True VGA is an absolute must for me.

No touchflo on universal?

Just got a wing, but had a universal and it seems theres no touch on that, would be great as the universal is much more powerful and vga screen

Use the search, Luke!
Yeah, the TouchFlo has been ported to the universal, but it's simply too large to use it comfortably

btw... if you are to use touchflo with the good ol` Uni... VGA godness... then you`ll need this:

samsung sgh i900 omnia with a htc diamond rom?

Hi all
i have some questions about the roms.. i already googled and searched in the forum but i cant find answers.
1. i would like to use a htc diamond rom on my omnia.. does it work? i want all features of the htc not only the skin with mobile shell for example. is there a way?
if yes it would be nice if you could tell me where i can find it incl introduction ^^ (GERMAN ROM!!!!)
2. if i flash another rom on my omnia, how can i get the original back?
3. dno a 3rd question atm.. xD^^
would be nice if you could help me
best regards
HolGORE
nopee
sorry dude you cannot use a diamond rom let alone any htc rom on that phone because it was not made by htc... what you need to look for is programs, skins etc. made for 240×400 resolution to work with your phone.. not sure if tf3d works with the omnia.. what ever you find on here make sure you read all the notes to see if it phone specific
Check this out it might help some..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400313
thanks for your fast answer
which tf3d do i need?#
i found severeal links but i dno which one i need for my omnia ;d
or how can i get at least the same menu than the htc diamond? with the animted things too.. like weather and so on ;c
regards
you may be able to get manilla 2d but your phone is not htc so it will not load tf3d. People are having a hard enough time porting tf3d to other htc phones it wasn't made for.
Ok so how do i revert back to the original omnia rom? im currently using M2D rom..
i got a i900 8gb and got a htc rom on it working very nicely, can't complain

??? Please explain, are you using a Custom ROM from here or MoDaCo with a Manila interface?

Does Manila 2D work on 240x 240 sized Screens

Hi all, I was thinking of buying a HTC Cheetah as a replacement of my elfin and was wondering if manila 2d could work on a screen like that.
Thanks in advance, xudsa II USERT

Try UltimateLaunch. It is very configurable and has a fairly low memory footprint.... tons of possibilities
Homescreen ++ is another nice alternative..

Touch HD or Omnia2

Hay guys,
I am getting a new PDA, I have tytn now and it has served me good.
Could you give me your look on this two models, I am thinking about Samsung, since it has much better specs and display, but I got used to touchflo 3D interface a lot...
Is it possible to put it on Omnia?
Your answer will be appreciated and will help me decide what to buy.
Thanks!
There is one added value for choosing HD
The sup`port of this fantastic site!!
Just because of that I´ll choose HD even if omnia has better specs...
Yes, that is bothering me too...
Well if you're not gonna flash your device or use Touch Flo 3D or any other ported software, than get Omnia 2.
You will still be able to get support in this forum. Most of the issues of non-HTC devices can be supported/solved without the need to correspond to an HTC device.
You could use TouchFlo 3D on your Omnia 2 if its WVGA. However as mentioned above the support provided by this site significantly exceeds that of any site that supports the Omnia. To be completely honest, if you havent bought your device yet you should consider the Touch Diamond II. The reasoning behind this is i read an article somewhere mentioning that devices without a windows button will not get an official WM6.5 ROM or something stupid like that (Correct me if im wrong).
Ill be upgrading from my Tytn to an Omnia2
I agree that HTC gets great support here but Hardware and capability wise there is nothing to compare with the omnia2 on the horizon.
AMOLED screen,headphone jack,tv-out,5mpx cam with dual flash....what more could anyone possibly want?

A forum specialized like this for that device!!!
Hmm, the Touch HD vs Omnia II i8000.
Well, lets face it, this is a question of 'XDA support' or 'No XDA support'. Specs-wise, the i8000 has the Touch HD crushed completely (as have been the case with all new Samsung models; HTC hasn't updated their specs in forever).
Personally, if you ask me for a choice between those two models, I would go with the i8000. The main reason I love XDA support is that it makes the interface looks better and it makes the software faster, but from what I see, the i8000 is already plenty fast and it looks very, very good. Furthermore, the i8000 has support forums too (though not on the level of XDA), so any deficiency may be corrected by its own forums anyway.
The idea of choosing a WM device based on software seems very silly to me. One can find a CAB for just about any Windows Mobile software (including, yes, TouchFlo 3D), so transition between WM devices based on software is very simple. If anything, the i8000 should be more appealing software-wise as Samsung put a lot of amazing software on it that has not been ported to other devices yet.
Always buy for the better specs and design. Never buy for the software support. Buy for the software that is already provided.
Any extras can be found on other fan sites and other non-htc developers. Therefore the Omnia 2 is a much better choice.
Besides there are plenty of software that are created that supports non-htc devices, and there are also software that are created specifically for non-htc devices.
Furthermore alot of the technical problems are Windows Mobile based and not always HTC based.
The only 2 reasons to get HTC devices is 1) if you prefer the design and the specs of HTC and 2) if you want to flash your ROM.
HTC devices are easily flashed to a different ROM, but hey man not everyone uses ROMs... I don't ever use ROM's...
Therefore Omnia 2 is a perfect choice if you don't flash your ROM...and point number 1 shows that HTC Touch HD is outdated....so therefore get Omnia 2 if you don't flash your ROM....
Think about it mate.

a zooming ability on the video camera (while filming)
also, can it play divx/xvid movies like the HD can with coreplayer?
i download movies and dont have to re-encode them, just drag, drop, play. (...generally, unless there was some esoteric encoding used)
mark
I have the same dilemma. I am about to replace my Sony Ericsson W960i with a proper PDA and I am taking into account both, Touch HD and Omnia II.
Similarly I would like to have a Touch Flo 3d interface on my device and therefore I was keener on HTC Touch HD at first. However since it is possible to get a Touch Flo 3d onto all WinMo devices (as I deduced from 8525Smart's post)

I rather buy Omnia.
And here it comes to questions:

2. Could anyone explain to me this ->

What does it mean to"flash your ROM" and how is it useful? Isn't it simply upgrading/updating the ROM?
I'd be grateful if you could help
well livegod guess what ! omnia2 has zooming while taking videos with its awesom camera
and the touch player can support almost 99% of all my downloaded and converted movies
as for the TF3D .. i love the new one and i cant seem to find it anywhere to be installed on my omnia2
i hate the widgets... makes the phone looks like a toy so i am using spbmobile shell + pointui
i'am from germany and I have the same problem.....
But here I can buy the Omnia in a few month....:-(
But what is whith the HTC LEO????????
Touchwiz 2.0 quite simply covers up WM 6.1 SO thoroughly on the Omnia II, it's almost like you're not using a Windows phone. The Omnia II is definitely the better pick unless you REALLY want ROMs to flash. Then wait for the Whitestone or Firestone or whatever HTC have next.
omnia camera is far better than the HD2
especially the video recording
the HD2 dont have a chance
but i dont care about the video recording so i will get the HD2
HD2, wins every time. You can flash what ever you want (when hspl comes out!), why would you ever want an omnia?
Hands down the HD2 (Leo). PPC of the year so far!
Samsung Omnia 2 place...
I'm a Forum XDA user for a long time.
It helped me a lot with my old HTC Wizard.
I was quite worried about buying an Omnia2 and losing the Forum support. But HTC HD cannot win O2 in SPECS.
About support... boys I have to admit.
For Omnia2 (that is not a HTC device) the best software and tweaks and amazing ROMs can be found on MODACO (sorry boys, but I have to say).
If you own an HTC device don't even consider getting there. The best place is here!!!
Concerning the TouchFlo3D, there are many versions available on MODACO. There's even a HTC HD2 like ROM with Sense 2.5
Thanks!
