Diamond Screen Scratches...

[THE__MANN]

Hi guys

Basically i got a used HTC diamond, and the screen is very scratched, when using its not noticable but when u turn the phone off lots of marks are visible.

Is it possible to replace just the 'cover' of the phone? Does this phone have a replacable cover? Because the LCD is fine its just the outer surface cosmetic marks which are annoying me.

2.) Is there a way to get rid of the clock and calender / call history shortcut buttons on the main menue? I can minamize the clock but not get rid of the 3 items? And the icons at the bottom? Are they removable? Iv searched all over :P

Thanks veery much for any help!!

I don't know about Q1.
But for 2) You can switch off the touchflo3d interface.
Go to settings > Today> Items

Then untick Touchflo3d and select the elements that you do want.

Thanks a lot bro! But i want the touch flow, i just want to get rid of the 'calender' and 'cal history; links right in the middle of the menu....

But its not too big a deal :)

I really need help with number 1 ^ , can someone advise if i just need the case of the phone? And how would i do it?

Thanks a lot!

Q1) It's a pity a screen protector wasn't used. If not ya just need to replace the protector.
Anyways, you can try ordering a housing from eBay and changing it yourself:

Q2) The call history and calendar are part of the TF3D.. not removable :)

For Q2, you can use the Diamond TF3D Config tool to customize the TF3D interface. Follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749 and don't forget to thank its creator Sushilange!

Yea.. thats the housing link U posted.

Housing consists of the chasis of the device which includes the screen.
Screen protector only protects the screen (it's a thin transparent film...) IF you already have a screen protector on it, just change that! Simple.

Thanks bro.

Unfortunatly it dosent have a screen protector otehrwise it would be in better condition >_<

So all i need is the housing ya. With the Diamond, u have to work ur way from the back and disassemble EVERYTHING until you get to the front right? Or can u just pull it out somehow?

Is there a specific place you would recommend to get the chasis?
