Diamond Tweak won't install - Touch Pro, Fuze General

I am not a noobie. I just got a replacement at&t fuze, since my first one stopped reacting to the touchscreen. on the previous fuze, and now on the NEW fuze I can not install Diamond tweak version 0.5.3 english CAB. I am copying the cab, and installing on the device directly, not thru active sync. I can't figure out why the heck this program won't install. especially now, on a brand new device without any tweaks or modifications.
I would GREATLY appreciate your help. this is so frustrating.
before anyone BLASTS me, I have searched this entire site, and can't find any related subject.

Getting no choice where to install apps?

hello all
Ive upgraded to nbd 8.0 recently and everything was going great however, when I disabled bluetooth browsing, I cannot pick where I install cabs... anyone have a quick reg fix for me?
thanks a lot!
I think that is cause by the cab itself, some cabs can force the installer not to let user pick destination.
well I thought that might've been the problem but then I proceeded to reinstall some apps that I used to have before my NBD upgrade and they didn't ask, though when I first upgraded, some did. Im pretty confident the bluetooth browsing messed up a reg key. can anyone point me to the right registry key? Ive read it on this forum before I remember I just can't find it.

A Bunch of Questions

Hi Guys,
I am new to this community, I just purchased an AT&T HTC Fuze (my first smartphone) and I would like some assistance in making it nicer than it already is. I have seen the results of flashing the EnergyRom from some of your guy's posts, but I do not want to risk making it a brick without addressing some questions.
Currently the OS on the phone is Windows Mobile 6.1, the Energy ROM is for 6.5, how do I upgrade from wm6.1 to wm6.5 or is there an Energy ROM for wm6.1?
More info on the phone: The bootloader (tri-color) screen shows the following
'Raph110'
SPL-1.95.0000
Micro-Raph (LED) v13
MicroP-Raph (KEY) v55
'Serial' on the white screen.
I read the thread 'Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs)' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008, but I am skeptical to doing this now, because I haven't even found the EnergyROM for wm6.1.
Any contribution you can make in helping me set up my phone with the EnergyROM would be greatly appreciated.
Well before you do anything, you have to make sure you flash your device with "Hard SPL." If you read that guide, I'm sure you would've seen something about that.
And you can go to 6.5 from 6.1 without any problems. It doesn't matter what's on your device right now. Once you flash HardSPL you can flash whatever ROM you want.
That is very good information that you have given me.
One more question: How do I install the AddOns?, some that I want are found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751.
Thank you!
when you download those "add-ons" you'll get a .CAB file. Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable and place the .CAB file on the root of your Fuze. If you need clarification on that let me know.
Once you put the .CAB file on your device, using a file explorer program, find the file and click on it and it will install.
1 minor point you appear to not to have got yet (but you will when you start flashing!):
The windows version and the rom are linked. Each rom is built round a windows version & build and then tweaked by the chef. Its not like a pc where you install windows then put stuff on that, the rom is a custom made windows specific for your phone.
Welcome to the fourms & have fun flashing until you get the phone you want!
Root?
Yeah, some clarification on what you mean by 'place the file on root' would be helpful. When I download the AddOns they are .rar files and what I tried doing was just placing it in the Programs folder on the Fuze. It did some installation, but I did not get anything.
Root clarification then I guess?
Thanks for your patience.
Got It.
Okay I got it to work, I installed the AddOns that I wanted. It took a little bit of trial and error, but I got it.
Thanks anyway!
One more thing that I would like to do, but not sure where to get info or if its even possible.
I do not have a data subscription plan with my carrier, is it possible to install mapping information on the phone and have GPS capability without having to have a dataplan?
If this is possible then please let me know how to proceed or where I can get more information...
Thanks in Advance...
P.S. This forum is great.
hey sorry I didn't see your request for clarification, but I'm glad you finally got it working.
But as far as GPS without a data plan... As far as I know the only way to do that is if you use a program like Garmin or TomTom. However, if you choose to do, you'll have to actually purchase the map files for your specific location. The program itself should be available for free though.
GPS is free, the satellites are already up there and your phone has a receiver so thats the easy bit!
As kevindena said, you'll probably need to buy the map software (or maps) to show you what you want.
Google maps is free - but requires a live internet connection (wifi or 3g)
Tomtom is for road navigation - free software but maps are £££
Garmin (i believe) is similar to tomtom, as is Co-pilot
However, depending what it is you actually want the gps to give you...
There is atleast 1 aero-map piece of software out there (i dont know what, i dont fly)
In the UK i'm 95% sure you can buy the OS maps so you can hike/walk/cycle about the countryside.
There is almost certainly a marine map option to allow sailing & boating.
And on here somewhere (cant remember where it was) someone made a simple, fullscreen speedo running from the gps (free).
All the GPS does is tell you where you are, the software then overlays that on the map system of your choice.

Polaris - GPS unit missing !?

Hello !
I have a Polaris/TC with TomTom7 installed. It has worked fine but
suddenly when I try to use TomTom I got the message "GPS-unit missing"
I have downloaded "quick_GPS" several times, done soft reset, checked that
internal antenna is used in TT etc. but no luck !
Please help me with some ideas for toubleshooting, I realy liked my TomTom !
/Staffan
Hm, could be hardware error... or, hopefully, borked COM settings in TomTom.
So first try COM settings (check what settings TomTom requires).
Then try some other NAV software (any would be good, even freeware - there's a lot of them. Google Maps might do).
Then you might try pain-in-the-ass option of hard reset.
If after that it's not working, then only repair remains...
Thanks for answer my question.....
Im always in a hurry, so I uppdated my TC to wm 6.1 and after that
TomTom decided to work again ! (don´t ask me why)
BUT ! as an old guy (56) its not so easy to remember every thing, I forgot to
backup my phone...and my numbers to the sim-card
So I have had a nice evening recover all phone-numbers.....
I have another issue, I have eraesed the standard TomTom from
TC and installed a better one.
Now I how to get the shortcut for TT on the start/main screen ??
Ah... I'm not much younger (49), but as IT manager I ALWAYS do backup...
You have not erased TT (uninstalled, temporary... since it's part of official ROM. So it's gone untill next hard reset).
I use standard HTC Home plugin, so I added my GPS software (iGO) as one of the shortcuts on tab 3.
However, you can use Windows Commander Mobile to easily put shortcut to anything practically anywhere.
Or you can simply select TT and add it to Start menu instead of something else...
If I may ask, where did you get you version of WM 6.1 (HTC, XDA-Devs etc)? If XDA, which particular one of the various "cooked" (I think thats the term..) ROMs. I have been looking at upgrading recently and would value your opinon on the version you are using..
Cheers,
IJ
My WM 6.1 is from HTC site.
Since my device was never SIM-locked, I was able to upgrade existing 6.0 to 6.1.
I have heard that most SIM-locked devices were not allowed to upgrade from HTC site.
Have not yet tried cooked ROMs...
My opinion of upgrading to 6.1 is stated somewhere on this forum... just search for my posts...

Definitive Answer: Appointments/Tasks in TF3D, extra tabs...

OK, I'm officially frustrated with my ATT Fuze (Raphael). I've looked and looked, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer...so I need some major help, please.
1) I use my WM Phone to keep me together, business-wise...so I need more than just today's appointment on the home screen. I need something that will integrate my appointments and/or tasks into TF3D, either by altering the home tab, or providing a new one. That's why, after searching, I tried Manila-Today (I think that's name)...it showed promise, but the very things I need (appointments, tasks), it doesn't support. I don't want TF3D-Detached or SecondToday if I can at all avoid it...I want something integrated. Is there a definitive answer for this?
That's the big one I've been researching...for a while now, too. I have a couple of other questions I haven't dug too deeply on (I've been researching the above like crazy!), but I'd love to have answered if someone has the time:
2) I'd like to get rid of the AT&T "trial-/bloatware" that comes on my phone. Does anyone know if the same trick for the tilt works with this device (soft reset after initial set-up, before countdown ends)...and without damaging it?
3) A lot of the things I'm looking at in terms of altering the TF3D requires that you know the version of it, and I'm a bit confused by all the names being bandied about (TF3D, TF3D2, Rhodium version, etc.). How in the heck can I tell what I have? At least that will give me a place to start in terms of adding new tabs, changing that god-awful landscape menu, getting some backgrounds, etc.
Sorry for ranting...it's just that I have this supposedly incredible phone, and I feel that I can't do jack with it. I appreciate anyone's help...thanks.
1. Try SBP Mobile Shell, short of using SecondToday or the Detacher, its the only other inerface that will run in conjunction with TF3D.
The calendar tab does provide some details but there is no appt tab.
2. Yes
3. Go to your settings tab/About, the version is there.
I was like you when I first got my Fuze because the Tilt development had gotten so far and ther was nothing initially available for the Fuze.
Patience, flash a couple of cooked or stripped ROMs and read all you can because it IS a different device with different anomalies, and you'll be lovin' it in no time.
One important one is that the RUU wrapper does not completely wipe the previous ROM, so you can experience bugs if you do not flash back to stock ROM every few flashes.

Any Possible Way?

Ok, I was wondering if anyone out there possibly knows (without flashing to custom rom) how to uninstall verizon's junk off the omnia i920. I tried bunch of custom roms and while they were good, each one of them had bugs. I tried to build my own last night without any luck whatsoever.
I know there has to be some work around where I can take the verizon stuff off. Or could someone tell me what I did wrong when I built my own rom...
I used Wozzers i920 kitchen. I hit buildos and then pressed the play button and it put files into OEM, SYS, and all those other folders. I went through and deleted some stuff in the OEM, SYS folders and made sure initfiles was clear of them as well as the rgu, but when I flashed my phone it wouldn't go past the verizon wireless screen.
Am I totally missing something? I tried taking out the following: All VZW bloat (games, nav, cityid, vvm, songid, Vcast and I'm sure a couple others), Bing, Office One Note, Excel, PowerPoint, Samsung Widgets, Windows Live and Opera.
Is there an exact step by step thread or threads to help me out, because I checked out modaco...was I supposed to drop the .nbo file back into buildos? I am so lost and I would love to get the VZ junk off.
Thanks in advance..I know this is alot to ask for...but I'm just wanting to remove a couple things and this phone would be perfect then.
In my opinion, the 'bugs' in most of the custom ROMs are less objectionable than the bugs in the stock ROM.
Have you tried Ninja4Hire's ROM? He uses builds that are inherantly more stable, 6.5 as opposed to 6.5.x.
I prefer his XDA version 7, so far. My phone is now the fastest I have ever had, and trouble free except for occasional added software conflicts.
You will need to read up a lot (at Modaco) and start practicing to figure out cooking your own ROMs, but there is quite a bit of help over there.
Yeah I have ninja's v7 rom on my phone now and something is going on with the sound when i get a text message. I'm going to try Amdzeros lite rom here shortly...i didn't have issues with text sounds until today so I don't know what I possibly done to get the sound not working.
I try to read up at modaco, and I joined that forum but I cannot post anything there or click links. I tried contacting the admins there but noone ever got back to me.
