"Diamond" Digital Clock Install Program?

[jimt007]

It seems they are just little number files but they won''t overwrite the existing files that are in the Windows directory.

Anyway I really like the look and wonder if there is a CAB type file that will install and voila, you have the Diamond look digital clock?

Anybody know of such a program?

Or a really simple set of instructions.

I followed the instructions and I can't get it to work.

Or how about a way to get the "Diamond" Digital Clock in to S2U2?

Help... help... help...

Hi Jim,

I was actually looking for quite some time and found a diamond digital clock cab. It was here in XDA but I cant find the thread I found it in (It was in the main hacking and development thread)

I'll just repost the cab file and hope I dont get reemed out. I take NO credit for makng this file what so ever.

I had tried installing it before on my vogue and it wasnt working then I upgraded my rom to 6.1 and figured Id give it a shot and it worked. I dont know if that had anything to do with it. it SHOULD still work in WM6 I just wasnt able to get it to work for some reason.

I think you have to disable HTC home as well too before you install the cab.

Nice find!
When I try to install on 6.1 it says "Installation unsuccessful". Any thoughts?

...Nevermind. For some reason it was copying itself when I put it on the sd card and one of the files was broken.

when you have it running is the clock in h:mm:ss tt format (ie 8:04 pm) or is it in hh:mm:ss tt (08:04 pm) I cant for the life of me get the zero infront of the single digit time (anywhere from 1-9 am or pm). just really erking me thats all. I had only installed this myself last night when I saw this thread asking for it so sort of a coincidence.

Anyway.. yeah let me know how your clock works and if you had to do something to fix it. I went into the regional settings and what not and changed the time format but still didnt change anything even after a reset.

For anyone who's installed the cab I posted and had the same issues I had (the 0 infront of the time (08:43 pm) then heres a quick fix I found in the hacking/development thread in the main forum.

Just copy the file in the zip file to your new HTC Home folder on your phone. Should be /HTCHome, sp right in the phones main directory alone with my documents and program files etc. If when you copy it over to replace the exsiting HH_Home_off. png in the folder it wont work go and disable the HTC Home plugin then copy it. That worked for me. Now I finally have a normal looking clock without always having to have 4 numbers showing.

I just installed and my text messages dont work. any idea?

Installed great! thanx a lot.

Since I installed this I can only select Bakersfield for my weather.
Anyone know a workaround?

Also this plugin severly lags my touch, anyone else?
Thanks.

[tkomisar]

So does anyone know of a diamond clock that actually flips like the real diamond clock?? All the skins for HTC HC are great but i would love to find something closer to the real deal.

[mfpreach]

Actually it doesn't lag anymore, but my weather is ONLY Bakersfield.

IS that with everyone else?

I had this same issue... What I had to do was uninstall it.. use the normal HTC home and reselect my city then reload on this updated version. Aparently all you have to do is add the XML of your city somewhere in the registy... I have no idea how so if anyone knows how feel free to let us know.

Since I did the steps above I havnt gone in to "Change city" anymore and it updates my city fine

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked as you said it did. However, when I changed it from Fahrenheit to Celcius thats when it updated to Bakersfield.

I can sort of understand Fahr, but Celcius would be much nicer. I think the benefit outweighs the cost so i'll use canada + fahr . Unless you know how to fix this.
