Hello boys and girls!

Here's my little Chrismas present for you: iDiamond Project public beta :)

As for now, it's nothing but a fancy application laucher, but it will be developed into complex UI over time. I'm too lazy to write more, so look for yourself.

And yeah, a feedback (or even an usability review) will be appreciated.

Special thanks to:
mun_rus: for your help in manila R&D (reverse-engineering and development)
bepe: for your useful hashing utilities
nestore5: for your help with decompilation
chainfire & guys: for QTC converter

Thank you all guys! You all helped greatly to make it happen!

System requirements:
TouchFLO 3D enabled VGA device

The official beta testing period of v.0.2 is over, coz all valuable information is collected and we got into flood&flame stage.
You're supposed to stop using the beta and wait for next releases (in Feb-Mar). The beta will forcefully expire after Jan, 15th.

If you haven't got a chance to try, here's the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VWsOUt41X4

Attention!
If you're going to distribute this to other forums, please do not remove credits.txt from the package, so users can always check back for newer versions in this thread.
Interface modders, if you're going to change some graphics, please leave loading screen logo untouched. This is my personal request :)

Regarding HTC Touch HD version:
I can not develop HD apps without actual device, and i don't think i will get any, coz it's not even sold here. But as soon a i get one (by some miraculous means), you can count on HD releases along with Diamond releases. You heard me ;)

Donations:
I don't need money for this project, coz i write it for my own pleasure, and Paypal is not available in my region anyway. I wrote it just above, but i will state it more clearly: what i really need are Touch HD (for HD version) and iPhone itself (to look how things are done there), so, if you want, you can look in the direction of fundraising via someone trustworthy in the community, but that's just an idea...

Enjoy! :D

Known issues:
- Manila hangs or restarts sometimes during adding a shortcut
- Clock icon does nothing - it's just showing time (for now)

Impossible features (do not request them please):
- Locking the entire interface
- Integrating TF3D tabs into iDiamond UI
- Integrating iDiamond UI into TF3D
- QVGA version

Upcoming features:
- Setting wallpaper
- Built-in applications: picture viewer, music player (with coverFLO), messaging, etc.
- Active icons for applications: showing number of missed calls, new messages, etc.

Tips & tricks:
- Adding shortcuts to special places/actions, like Settings and New SMS (workaround): I haven't tried that personally, but i'm sure it's possible to create a special .lnk (with special parameters) for such actions (just goggle it) and add em like regular application.
"New SMS" shortcut attached. Just put it into your Programs folder :)
SMS Inbox: 00#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS"
More shortcuts here: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/windows_mobile_6_1_anleitungen/51874-windows_mobile_shortcuts_erstellen.html

Edit: So wait. This means my TF3D won't run :( Awe. I was hoping to secondtoday this....any way I can get two versions of TF3D running at the same time? I would like to keep TF3D and have this run on my fuze. Suggestions D-Man?

1 min review:

Seems very usable. I like the look. :P I'm a compare it to the iFonz, like that it's not an app, but I still feel that if you can seperate the bottom four icons and put the page dots above it and have the same docking look as the iPhone. You're good to go :) Oh and I hate the fact that I can't have TF3D and have this running on Second Today :( I can only have one. No bugs so far. It seems pretty fast.

I thought about it, but there's a techical problem there, but eventually, i will do that. :)
I can't have TF3D and have this running on Second Today :( I can only have one.Yeah, i know, but i can't help here - i'm developing it in manila platform and it's not designed to run in multiple instances.

-mod removed moronic remarc by meccax5-

Um. Respect people please. This is a proper forum. Not for retards. K? Thanks. And if you were smart enough to know that TF3D (VGA Version) can run on QVGA devices and since this just replaces manila files, it should run on QVGA devices.

I understand the UI, but wondering if it was possible to make it so that TF3D still is the main hompage, and this becomes a replacement for the programs portion of WM6. I understand that it is iPhone like, but I like the TF3D, but would love to replace the programs folder with this instead of the WM6 version. Or even replacing the TF3D programs tab with this. Using it as a today screen cuts out alot of essential info. Just asking and giving feedback.

I basically said the same thing :) I think it would be possible, but D-Man would have to re-code it and change it, because I think it'd be hard to keep both of them. If you're want it like this only for the programs, I suggest you look into TouchXperience by schaps which should have a public beta by christmas >.> (I've been waiting ever so patiently for him to come out with it since it looks too good to be true and it's uber awesome and I could like talk about it all day since it's so awesome, but I won't because it's going to clog my whole post with TouchXperience) :)

To me (personal opinion) this is more of a app launcher (a nice one at that), and as far as TouchExperiance, I gave up on it and I think it has been abandoned.

24th December 2008, 08:41 AM
tried it and like it!
it somehow slows down menu popup when im in app launcher thou, not at home screen
one more thing is sometimes it will restart itself when u add a shortcut, and u have to add a different shortcut instead of the one causing prob, then only able to add the one afterward

this is more of a app launcheryep, i stated that in the first post. But it's just an app launcher yet, many things to be added in the future.
And that's why i haven't released earlier versions - everybody want to see something usable, not concepts :D

Well, i have one open position for now:
- Designer. I despearately need someone who will screenshot, optimize for VGA and slice iPhone graphics.

As for beta-testing, as you can see, there's no much things to test by the moment, but later i will need a small team of beta-testers. But you should realize that is a hard-work actually, and you'll have to do many crazy things like adding a 150+ applications to main menu, leave app running for a week or so, spend hours to find ways to reproduce bugs, etc. :)

Hey, D-Man! I'm liking this app, but I'm not too familiar with all the root/dir stuff. I don't have any applications (to my knowledge) that does this kind of thing automatically.

If it's not too much of a hassle, can you give a step-by-step tutorial on how to install it? Or is it as simple as putting the ZIP on a storage card, and unzipping it on my Fuze?

Thanks in advance! :)

EDIT: by the way, if you happen to need a designer still, I can offer my services -- you can check my work out @ www.royalnyc.com. I can't commit TOO much time to this, but like a decent chunk of the upcoming January month, I can dedicate myself to this as a token of my appreciation :D

No offence man, but if you don't know what "unzip", "directory" and "root" mean, you shouldn't mess with stuff at all. Or at least RTFM. :)

Fair enough; I understand what the terms mean, don't get me wrong. I just don't understand where to place the "device" folder on my phone. That's all.

Offense* by the way ;) And after finding the definition for "RTFM"... where is the manual exactly?

D-MAN666
24th December 2008, 10:34 AM
Offense* by the way ;)No no, just dunno how to simplify the phrase "2. Unzip all files from "Device" dir into device root ("\");"... Ok, let's try this way: look into "Device" dir and try to find directories of same names in some obvious places of your device.

where is the manual exactly?I've just suggested you google that terms :)

D-MAN666
24th December 2008, 10:38 AM
I just don't understand where to place the "device" folder on my phone.Hmm... i haven't wrote "unzip Device folder...", i wrote "unzip everything from Device dir" - that makes a difference :)

i just got one question, what dialer skin are you using in the video?
thanks and merry christmas!

sadthai
24th December 2008, 12:02 PM
i see a bit of a confusion, so let me try to take a stab at it.

download the zip file(iDiamond Project v[1].0.2b.zip) from post #1. inside this zip file, there is a folder name "device," and inside this folder(name device) there is another folder name "windows" basically extract all files inside device/windows folder from the zip file into your phone windows directory.


i hope dmand, u dont mind, i created a cab for the project. if you do, i ll remove it no problem. the cab should do all the install for you, and the ability to uninstall all the files and go back to your original touchflo3d(though you may lose your advance configuration settings).

download the cab here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1PRCVS5V

installation instruction:

disable touchflo3d in wm6 today
install the cab
enable touchflo3d
add shortcut and customize the shortcut
the included iphone icons are located in your device my pictures folder. if you dont use these icons, you may delete it or move it to your internal storage to save space.

to uninstall the cab, disable touchflow3d in wm6 today
and start menu>settings>system>remove programs to remove the cab.
enable touchflow3d in today and you should go back to your original touchflow3d.

last but not least, dman, thank you so much for the very cool app. like the earlier poster. anyway to add margin on top and bottom or spaces between the icons? it does look very crowed if one to fill screen up completely with shortcuts, which is the only way to go because it would look funny to fill only half of the screen with shortcuts. thanks again and Merry Christmas.

Just installed this, and all i can say is wow! its really amazing! It makes the phone really easy to use, to access all the programs etc...

I know its a beta, but just a couple of things: Is there any way to have the weather working on it? And it seems to go into the default windows mobile a bit too early.

Like when i go to messages, how about the touch flo list that i can scroll through rather than just the win mo default, and also the contacts, could just to through to favorites rather than just the list.

Seriously though, amazing work man!

Oh, and if anyone is having problems adding more than 16 items, i tried just dragging the 15th across to the next screen, then it let me add a 16th on the second screen, and i just moved them both back to the first screen and it seems to be working fine. Its letting me add icons without problems now. Hope that made sense!

^totally agree. I just installed the .cab file and it works awesome - the only thing is that its a lil slow at loading the "messages". I think this could be because I'm running a diff theme...? I'll switch back to the orig. theme n see what happens.

GREAT WORK THOUGH! =]

ohh and if theres any way you could possibly get the slider to answer a phone call (like the iphone) OR make it so you have to slide and then press answer/ignore versus just having answer or ignore buttons pop up thatd be fantastic.

I have the Fuze and this is my biggest complaint is that even when its in sleep mode, answer/ignore buttons will pop up on the screen when sumone calls me. This can cause problems when the phones in my pocket lol.

just a thought >.<
thanks.

Congratulations, your app is wonderful !

Possible improvements: the SMS icon shows the number of unread message, same for e-mail and missed calls.

Thanks a lot ;)

This is an amazing improvement, would it be possible for you to try to make a bubble for the unread sms and the real date on the calender icon :)

Thanks so much! :)

man, FANTASTIC WORK.

suggestions:

-sometimes i got the screen of error send, manila crash...but not a big problem

-remove top & bottom bar

-more real home screen, structure, fonts, dimensions, customizable background

-sms, missed call, mail counter

-made 2 different level for "normal apps" and "phone,mail,web,ipod"
like the real iphone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/picture.php?albumid=124&pictureid=425

-made a topbar like the original iphone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/picture.php?albumid=124&pictureid=426

////// "extra suggestion"
relink central hardware button to exit/close like the real iphone

anyway, FANTASTIC WORK MAN, BEST iPhone SKIN CLONE OUT YET

-remove top & bottom barNot possible

-more real home screen, structure, fonts, dimensionsSure, just provide me with the proper graphics ;)

customizable background, sms, missed call, mail counterTo be added in the future

-made 2 different level for "normal apps" and "phone,mail,web,ipod"As i wrote earlier, i'm facing a technical limitation with that. But i will do that eventually

-made a topbar like the original iphoneNot possible, coz i can't hide WM topbar/bottombar

relink central hardware button to exit/close like the real iphoneNot possible, you should use "Home" button instead

First off, Dman this is pretty sick! I've been following your progress for a while and I'm glad you got the beta done!

Since I know you're looking to build on this I thought I'd leave some ideas:
1.) As mentioned before, have a number bubble indicating texts, emails, missed calls, etc...
2.) Possibly make the program go back to the "home" screen when the backlight turns off.
3.) There is an issue that causes the app to restart occasionally when adding a new icon

Other than that it's pretty amazing and runs smooth.

Secondly:
As soon as I installed this I began working on some custom icons for website links. I decided to post them up here in case someone else would like to to use them as well, and if you don't I highly suggest you add them to your favs, they're great!

Also, Dman I'd be happy to help with some graphic design stuff, so just let me know :D

Ok here's the list of icons (in no particular order) along with the link that I favourited with them. Obviously you will have to link them yourself :)

1.) New Teeter icon (the old one looked kinda funny with this new theme)
2.) Google - http://www.google.com
3.) Failblog (hilarious stuff) - http://www.failblog.org
4.) PPC Geeks forums - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=66
5.) Explosm Comics (some funny comics) - http://www.explosm.net/comics/1503/
6.) Abduzeedo (graphic design site) - http://abduzeedo.com/
7.) Myspace mobile - http://m.myspace.com/
8.) XBOX friends list Canadian (you will need to sign in with your ID) - http://live.xbox.com/en-CA/profile/Friends.aspx
9.) PhoneFavs (amazing mobile web portal) - http://phonefavs.com/
10.) NBA mobile (score updates and stuff) - http://www.nba.mobi/
11.) Engirsh.com (more funny stuff) - http://www.engrish.com/

If some one can tell me how to take a screen shot of the icons, I will post a pic of them ASAP.

Sorry for the huge post.........

mmmm i'm sure that i saw somewhere an iphone interface clone with perfect top bar and removed bottom bar (but they where really slow, not fast like your)...i think it's possible...

for the home screen i'll search you graphics for you

//other suggestions
-when we put the diamond in standby mode, made the app go automatically yo home screen

-add export/import function for the items (order, icon, shortcut)

Man, i'm coding on Manila platform and it's kinda limited. Other apps were not coded on Manila, so they can have some extended functionality.

And yeah, all the above is not possible.

25th December 2008, 12:56 AM
Hi just thought I would offer my suggestions
1. Add the ability to change the background on the lock screen and possibly use the same background on for the icons instead of plain black.
2. Being this is the beginning of a whole interface at least that's what I believe to have read but if so is there plans for an audio player email that type of thing? If not then maybe you can add shortcuts to existing tf3d apps and have them come up like set up a shortcut to go to the audio manager tab. Not sure if this is possible just thought I'd put it out there.

And do the icons for the phone have notifications like the iphone as well maybe that's something to add in as well

So far just playing around it's very fast loading and the usability has the potentional to be amazing!

Hello boys and girls!

If you're going to distribute this to other forums, please do not remove credits.txt from the package, so users can always check back for newer versions in this thread.
Interface modders, if you're going to change some graphics, please leave loading screen logo untouched. This is my personal request :)

Enjoy! :D

You know what, D-Man? You are the God!

Thanks for sharing such interesting apps to all! Really great X'mas gift!

@ D-MAN666 is it possible to integrate a program into TF3D. I know you put a calendar in it, but an actual app? Like nueLight?

No, Manila is a VM (virtual machine) and, thus, the app is running in the sandbox, so it can't be "integrated" with regular applications.

I found it to be very temperamental when setting up the main screen, it did lock up completely over and over but as D-MANN said, simple reboots does the job until you've got it set up. Since then its been fine, works a treat!!

Well Done!

One Request and One Question:

Request:

Is it possible to add a notification on on home screen showing when the next alarm will fire off? (like in the old manilia home screen)


Question:

Is this new interface increase battery consumption? or i was playing so much with new "phone" and eat the 45% in 1,5 hours?

Thanks...

25th December 2008, 02:38 PM
Brilliant interface!

The few tweaks I would like to see are...

Changing the wallpaper on the unlocking screen.

Timeout to automatically go back to the locking screen.

Unlocking screen to lock the rest of the screen

Unlocking screen to show if you have messages, missed calls and the like.

The ability to put buttons in for settings and well as programs.

CoverFlo!!! (That looks amazing!)


And finally if possible, swiping left to right for icons works well, but would it be possible to set up some pages for other things... for example, swipe right though the icons, once your through the icons, you then reach coverflo or something like that?

What settings would that be in? I mean if you don't want to say that's perfectly fine

Hey D-Man,

I can just say i love this interface and if you implement the features which you anounce in post 2 i have to say GOOD BY TO MY TOUCH FLOW 3D Forever! ;)

thx again and i cant wait to hear any news and catch a new version!

Ahhh and i found a little manual to create a shortcut it includes a video tutorial, the homepage is in german but maybe its helpful for you guys anyway.

Check post #2 (Tips and tricks)

Thanks! The correct folder to put your custom .lnk files in is windows\start menu\programs by the way... (maybe you can change that in post #2, took me some time to figure that out ;) )

Any way of adding icons to go directly to the SMS or Email inbox?

Going through messaging each time is a bit of a hassle.

Once a new shortcut has been made, how do I get it to show up in the list, to then add it to the homescreen?

I've added it to "programes" but it doesnt show?

I love this!

I am having one problem though. Almost everytime I try to add a button, it restarts. I am only able to add like 3 links. Is there anything I can do?

Thank you.

Edit: It will allow me to add one link, then it will restart on the next three "add" attempts. After that the next "add" attempt will freeze.

manila 3d NOT 2d
its a diamond forum ffs its only for diamond/touchpro variants thats it
as far as program goes, it is without a doubt the best iphone theme I have ever used and its not even done
its fast, it is stable, I haven't crashed
excellent just completely excellent. I will download the zip in the original post to see if I can find where the original background is and see if I can make some icon s for my setup. That said
you deserve a full case of beer!

I didn't quite get the "just shows time" part, but now I do :D

I noticed that (for obvious reasons) landscape mode is a little buggy on my raphael. Is that a simple few-line code fix, or is that too complicated to be implemented?

This works really well, im suprised at how smooth everything is, hey any chance of releasing a sort of slide to unlock app using you're code or something? i find it works infinitely better then the slide to unlock app thats floating around the net right now...

26th December 2008, 06:04 PM
I just feel like I have bought new phone today with this app... Thanks man...


One Request and One Question:

Request:

Is it possible to add a notification on on home screen showing when the next alarm will fire off? (like in the old manilia home screen)


Question:

Is this new interface increase battery consumption? or i was playing so much with new "phone" and eat the 45% in 1,5 hours?

Thanks...

26th December 2008, 08:33 PM
This is really the best interface i have tried on my HTC TD. Its so smooth and and much better responsetime than TouchFlow. Only con is the waiting time for programs to load. Takes around 3-5 seconds to open any program.

But really nice work mate! Cant wait for the other features! When they come - TouchFlow is gone out the window forever.

mystaeb
26th December 2008, 10:40 PM
This is a really great interface. Once it has matured a little I'm sure I'll be using this as a replacement for TouchFLO 3D. There are some things I would like to see in a future release, though..

- Access to a couple of the TouchFLO 3D features like call history, weather, etc would be nice.

- Ability to have the UI go to the "home" screen everytime the phone is locked via the top button. (Seems pointless to have click "home" just to see your the iPhone style clock and slide to unlock thingy)

- Ability to customise the left and right buttons instead of having "home" and "options".

Otherwise it's great!

working at it for about 3 hours now. crash about every other icon added. bring up either error message or freezes. I am going to change some default icons now. I do love the speed.

I wonder if my Bell UI is causing interference. What do you think D-Man?

Quick question, in the TF3D interface, it had previews for email and text messages, will you be adding these types of panels or what not to the plugin?

Hi D-Man, thanks for your gift, it's very nice!! But I found there has a expiration of this beta version. i.e. when I change the date after the new year (29-Jan-2009), and then can't start the TF3D anymore...
Could you extend it? Thanks.:)

Is it possible to get them in the original size though?

Also, where are the original icons located D-MAN666?

Thanks, it's a great app. it works alot better then the standard touchflo3d,

I also had the problem of hanging the telephone when i addes new shortcuts, so what i did was turning of failure detection in windows (don't know or it's right written in english in dutch it's called foutopsporing)
and for now it's working fine

I installed the cab file and also got numerous hangs and crashes when adding programs. Everytime I had to activate the Touchflo again on my 1.93 ROM. Then I installed the Diamond TF3D Config Setup v0.6.7.CAB. Up so far it is ok, so it has something to do with the touchflo somehow. I do not say it will work for you, but for me it did.

Hi all!
First, D-MAN666 thank you very much for this jewel!

I also noticed problems with adding new shortcuts but also found that waiting a around 15-20 seconds on screen where i choose app helps it not to crash. It seems that some enumerating process is going when listing available programs...

Hope it helps...

Bye!

I really like what you have been able to do so far D-MAN666 and the potential here is just HUGE! Keep up the great work!

I actually had no problems adding 3 pages of apps and bookmarks without a single crash on my TP, so I guess I was one of the lucky ones.

However, I'm going to switch back to TF3D until the message notifications and other enhancements are available.

I'd like confirmation first if there is any way to back up the selected icons and placements so we don't have to repeat every time?

I use S2U2 and can see number missed calls, sms, mms and tasks on the locked screen. This soft have slider to answer/ignore incoming calls also.

Who want, can try Winterface. It is the same as iDiamond Project (Apple iPhone interface mimic) but I think idea to replace Touch flo3D is better.

I liked this program very much but it doesn't show the "calender" and "Alarm" which are very important for me. I had to uninstall this program because of the missing programs on the home.

I highly appreciate authors efforts and time. great sir.:)

Keep up the good work. Major props to ya man.

again i love the app. I have everything set and no problems since loading icon sets. One thing i notice is that it doesn't automatically turn the power off. If i forget it stays lite and drains battery fast. Stayed on all night and phone dead in morning with no use.

Dmann, is there a way to not have to use the slider screen and make let it be another screen? Most of us already use some form of lock program. I have to do pocket shield then the extra islider to get into my phone now. Also, when does the trial run out? I would pay to keep it. I love the speed and function.

Is it possible for you to cab another icon set?

cocochannel
27th December 2008, 11:22 PM
Great job D-MAN666.

One small request though, make it work with Touch Pro when keyboard is out. Since this is based on TF3D I am sure it wouldn't be a lot of work to make it retain the original TF3D landscape screen. Am I right?:p

yea i agree +1

DO i need to download the zip and cab file?


when i dl the cab file and install it, when it restarts, i can add like 4 icons on my homepage, but then when i press add for another icon, it either freezes and the program restarts again??

why does this happen, and when i want to add contacts or other programs to the homepage, it gives me a manilla error for microsoft?

does anyone know why it does this, i really like it but cant get the icons all ready to go

FraGx4
28th December 2008, 02:16 AM
first of all, this tf3d replacement is great as hell and i love it! :D can't wait for you to release the next versions.

some things i'd really like to see in the next version are:

- more features at the home screen. like new sms/mms, missed calls, alarms and such. (or make the home screen alternative so that people can use s2u2 instead if they want to)

- more icons :) can't get enough.

- iphone like menubar in the bottom of the screen. maybe not in the next version, but later on

- An easy way to add a "settings" app. (:


some little problems/"bugs":

- when you switch between applications in the taskbar there is no animation. that's maybe how it's supposed to be i don't know, but it would look better with an animation in my opinion.

- maybe this is just my device but i can't manage to launch the internal storage "app". the screen just gets white and the only way to go back is to double tap the taskbar or soft reset. i can launch it from the start menu though.

anyways smooth and fast interface ! great job D-MAN, btw the loading screen is epic. :cool:

loomx
28th December 2008, 02:35 AM
Read the 2nd post. Its a beta there are some bugs... when it restarts the icons you previously added are still there just keep adding them, it restarts then add some more, its a little bit of effort, but you only need to do it once.

So ive read through all the pages on this thread and other ppl asked if they can change background, but no one ever answered! so i shall try one more time and ask if there is any way to change the fish slider wallpaper or is that comin up soon?

thanks alot for this!!def makes phone look slicker and easier to use

28th December 2008, 05:18 AM
Great work! Very smooth and impressive for an early beta. I personally love the fact that it uses the winmo topbar so everything integrates well. Like other people I have similar requests I hope to see in the future:

1) live status on the icons (sms, calls, mail)
2) ability to link more apps (settings, mail, weather, etc...)
3) increase font size under icons
4) ability to change clock icon and link it to an app
5) ability to change the homescreen: I'd rather use S2U2 but it would be great to have a homescreen that shows clock, date, appointments/tasks, weather, etc...
