Tips and Tricks

While I love searching through endless sites and threads, I figured it'd be best if we had a Tips and Tricks thread for our Diamonds. To help those newcomers, or for the veterans to get credit for their work. I'll keep it by categories and I will give credit.

I'll be updating this thread as time allows, and you guys can contribute useful app links and reg edits to help everyone out.

First of all, I truly recommend flashing to a custom rom of your choice. Many will tell you the stock roms on the phones are horrible with battery life, performance, and they include a lot of cr@p that most of us don't find necessary. Find a rom that has and excludes items you like and dislike. You'll find all you need plus instructions here.


Most of the people initially look for ways to do many of the tweaks I'll be mentioning here through registrys. The Following apps allow you to do many of those things by checking or unchecking options.
PERFORMANCE AND CUSTOMIZATION
With the following apps, you can change and improve:

PHONE AND TF3D PERFORMANCE
WAKE UP ON NEW SMS
CHANGE PHONE DELAY
KEEP SCREEN ON OR OFF DURING CALL
FORCE CLOSE HTC ALBUM
TURN OF ENLARGED TASKBAR
TURN ON OR OFF STARTUP ANIMATION AND SOUND
GEOTAGGED PHOTOS
ADJUST SCREEN SENSITIVITY
ADD MORE CAMERA MODES
HIDE OR SHOW SIM CONTACTS
PICTTURE MODES AND SIZES
CHANGE MENU AND PHONE FONT SIZE
REMAP HOME SOFTKEYS
CHANGE DIAMOND DIALPAD
ALTER SCROLL BARS
VIBRATE FEEDBACK ON DIALPAD
RAISE VOLUME
BATTERY OR TIME ON TASKBARD
DATA AUTO DISCONNECT OR ALWAYS ON
LEFT OR RIGHTHANDED COMMANAGER
AUTO DISPLAY OF TOUCH KEYBOARD
SCROLL THROUGH APPS WITH SCROLL WHEEL


Diamond tweak from Montecristoff. Allows you to change many hard to find reg edits. You can alter the Touch Scroll to work in certain apps, performance tweaks, answer delay and much more.

TF3D Config by sushilange. With this little app you can remove and organize all the tabs in TouchFlo3D. It also has some tweaks that allows you to boost phone performance, and set custom themes for TouchFlo.







MODS: if this is not allowed feel free to erase. If it is accepted, can it be sticked (that even a word?)

Re: Tips and Tricks

I'm not against the idea, but it's also come up a dozen times and the threads always die after loss of interest.
