HTC Diamond Style 6-Button Comm Manager (Updated 6/2)

[akadonny]

Found a version that didn't work on the net. Replaced Comm Manager files with ones from AT&T 3.53 ROM. Combined it with registry settings from Schap's 6-Button Comm Manager.

You should be able to modify the buttons with Schap's tool. Images for the following buttons are in the cab:

3G
AUTD
Bluetooth
DataDisconnection
FlightMode
Phone
Vibrate
WLAN

Make sure that Comm Manager is not running when you install this one. Check your Task Manager (thanks NFRCER!). Works Great! Enjoy!

Edit: [HTCDiamond CommManager (Updated).cab ]Updated! Left old images so you can see the difference.

- Changed default items in Comm Manager.
- Made a new 3G icon.
- Made Ringer icon for when Vibrate is off.

Edit: [HTCDiamond CommManager (6-6-2008).cab] Updated again!

- Bigger font
- No more blank space on top.

When I try to install this it gives me the error:

"The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."

I have never seen this before. Any reason why?

EDIT: Got it installed. Thank you NFRCER for your help!

that is because you have comm manager open.
try soft resetting and install it.

Thank you very much....... I had installed many Diamond Comm Manager in the past few days, all of them worked fine on my Touch but failed to sync with my PC. Your version is GOOD and Working FINE with ActiveSync without any error............ Thanks again, indeed.

awesome work akadonny!

[akadonny]

no problem. just trying to give a little back to the community that I've taken so much from.

[michan9394]

great job and thx

[d112]

How Can I uinstal this? Please help

[akadonny]

just go to remove programs and uninstall it. I know uninstall is possible because I installed and uninstalled several versions before I posted this final working version.

[mduc]

I uninstall from RemovePrograme already but my Comm Manager skin can not comeback to the HTC skin....

[anja31]

first, really good job! Thanks

a small bug.

Vibrate: The icon on right is not switching from on to off
Vibrate: no icon on left side when vibrate is off

I hope you can fix it.

Is it possible to change the background from White to Diamond Black ?

I took a look at this and this issue doesn't seem to be a bug. With the other buttons such as phone, wifi, 3G and flightmode the default action when you hit the button is to turn each feature off. Vibrate on the other hand does not turn off. When you change any button to vibrate and hit that button it turns on ringer. For this reason it stays on because the function is to either have vibrate on or ringer on. What we are missing is the icon for the ringer. I installed Schap's 6-button Comm Manager and I get the same result. I'll update this thread once I find the ringer icon. Please let me know if anyone else finds one first.

Edit: I made a quick icon for ringer. Anyone that's using "Vibrate" as one of the comm manager functions just right click and save "Function_Ringer.png" and copy the file to "\Windows" of your WinMo device. Anyone with better photoshop skills, please post an icon for Vibrate\Ringer.

Is it possible to change the background from White to Diamond Black ?

You can use pretty much any background, but you will have to play with the font color. You will need to replace 2 files.

P_BG.png - portrait image, 240x268
L_BG.png - landscape image, 320x268

If you only replace these files I think it would not look very nice. I'm not that great with photoshop, but if anyone else would like to take a shot at it all the images are attached.

On another note this thread is for "Diamond Comm Manager". Using other images would just make it modded comm manager and I do believe there are several other threads with custom comm managers that are different colors.

Hope this was helpful :D

EDIT!!! - I just updated the cab with ringer image and updated 3g image. Check first post.

[anja31]

Big thanks for the update,

One problem left for me, Wi-Fi is not turning on from the Comm Manager, can you please check it - or is this cab not work propper with an artemis.... ?

Try this one. Let me know if it works.

EDIT: removed attachment. didn't work.

[anja31]

Sorry akadonny,

It will not work,

When I press Wi-Fi I get a short animation but nothing happens, if I enable wireless Lan in settings menu (as you can see in the topbar) it is not switching too.

[akadonny]

if you have a cab of a comm manager that works for you that would help me fix the diamond for you. It should be a pretty easy fix. Anyways, try this one. 3rd times a charm, right? :D

[dstony]

which one for me to download??

I am a beginner and i am using HTC p3600i!!

Thank you very much!!

Heh, you aren't the only one. I tried it & reverted to the black six button comm manager...

Something just seems "off" about this one with the empty bar at the top & the various buttons appearing "squished". <- That's a technical term you know. :D

[scorpionrs]

I installed this on the HTC touch , and I get a very basic looking com manager :(

and I cant uninstall it and go back to the original one :(

Please help

See post one. No more empty bar and font no longer "squished". :p

not sure why this would happen. you must have a base comm manager that has some registry setting that my cab doesn't change. i don't have a touch so it's kinda hard for me to help you. :confused:

[p.loong]

Here is something i edited just for fun if u think the withe color skin is not very nice.

Comm Manager Daimond full skin is a full CommManager
Comm Manager Diamond Olny Skin is just only the skin

Very good job .... thanks

Is it possible to change the background from White to Diamond Black ?


akadonny, it would still be a an HTC Diamond Comm manager, not really just some modded comm manager. Any chance of getting the dark diamond background with white font?

[akadonny]

I've been playing around with a black version, but it's a little glitchy. The green selected bar over black stays green even when the item isn't selected. I'm not that great with photoshop so if someone can help me try to find a better color to use with black it would help a lot.

L_BG and P_BG are the backgrounds. Everything else is the green parts of the comm manager. The other thing that needs to be changed is the font color.

Original for White Background
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]
TextColorSetting = 50 50 50 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF 00 DD DD DD 00 33 33 33 00 CC CC CC 00 DD DD DD 00

For Black Background, Font Color HEX adjusted
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]
TextColorSetting = 50 50 50 00 FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 33 33 33 00 DD DD DD 00 44 44 44 00 33 33 33 00

I've attached the images that need to be changed. Hopefully someone can take on the task. :D

I love the white one posted here, but I would like a black one even better.
Thanks for your hard work :)

Me thinks you don't have the green "bleed" problem because you're not using a touch screen (6.1 Standard, no touch screen, right?). When I toggle on my Tilt it seems to work fine also. However when I use the stylus it stays green in areas.

Edit: I lied. when I toggle with a black background my whole screen turns green once I toggle all the way to the bottom.

I see a few downloads of the green parts. Any photoshoppers come up with a different color?

As far as the Internet Sharing Icon is concerned, not sure if I can make one. the 3G one I made was fairly simple, same background and typed 3G in Verdana. Anyone else willing to try?

Hi:

Does anyone here know how to change the Comm Manager font color? I am working on my Sprint Touch and so far have gotten everything working great but need to change the font color so I can change the background to something darker.

Thanks in advance,
Dan.

I've installed the comm manager on a prophet. But it does not display text only squares.

Which font do I have to install??

[cincy1020]

Hi:
Whatever happened to the black version? Was it posted somewhere else, or just forgotten about?
Thanks!

Problem Solved. It was the font from Pocket Digital Clock that was making a conflict.

Only replaced the icons i needed for this setup (also removed the large res.dll it uses since it's running skinned version anyway)

And it is set to Long_Press_End_Key (just change the Long_Press.lnk in windows folder to your fav exe if needed)

Had to try a few variations because the information for the naming scheme for Infra Red Beam was missing from this thread (or i just didn't see it). It should be :

Still no solutions for use with a background Black Diamond? :(

[poorlyduck]

did anyone find out the solution of P_button and L_button why its keeps selected in the black background?I made a diamond black skin and I cannot figure out how to fix that issue, I tried several colors and no luck, it could be the problem related to textcolorsettings registry that we changed?

[darklord69]

I come across this "green" problem on my cruise's comm manager. All I have to do is to use a background that is not "pure balck" but "very dark grey". Need to try a few times before getting it work properly. Maybe you guys can try this. Hope this can help :p
