htc diamond user interface on touch?
 

just wondering... will it be possible to have the same user interface on the new htc diamond on the htc touch?

i am currenlty using photo contacts pro for photo dialing, and the new diamond seems to have a slick and cool photo dialer among other things.

so does anyone know if it will be possible?

probably not, unless someone would try to come up with a conversation, lots of programming involved and we'd need some better video drivers (htc?).. and the diamond is VGA and we have QVGA.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a company come out with a very similar interface in the next couple of months for existing PPC's. Yes, it won't be exactly the same, but very similar. As a previous software programmer, it is much easier to see an existing application like the Diamond interface and work off of that.

Mark my words, we'll see a company come out with a very similar interface before the fall. It won't be free, but it will look very similar.

Forget a company, someone from this forum or XDA will have it ported over in a few days.

Re: htc diamond user interface on touch?
 

Yep, I was wondering this exact question. I bet someone will figure it out :headbang:

I'm just hoping someone grabs the Kaiser drivers releasing soon also so that it will really look as good as it should on my touch.

Re: htc diamond user interface on touch?
 

Yeah, that's most likely true as well. I would imagine though that for a full interface style very much like the Diamond I don't think someone in their spare time will do it for free. I guess we'll see. If someone does, I would be more than happy to donate to make my Touch interface look like that Diamond interface.

Re: htc diamond user interface on touch?
 

Yeah I saw that one too. If I didn't love TouchPAL so much I would have tried it. However I agree with you it is probablly a sign of good things to come.

Re: htc diamond user interface on touch?
 

Yup, I'm also with TouchPal. BTW, there's a few better skins then the default for Version 3 on thier forum at Cootek.

Someone will do this soon.

I'd pitch in for the development cost also.

Re: htc diamond user interface on touch?
 

Don't yall understand the gpu in the Diamond does 7-8mil polygons/sec? The touch can't come close to that, so its not gonna run tflo-3d or whatever. Its like asking your dog to keep up with a cheetah.

Re: htc diamond user interface on touch?
 

I think that's why getting the Kaisers drivers is crucial to this also. The two items are linked, we need both not just one or the other. Well I guess the drivers without interface would work. But we aren't getting the interface unless we get the hardware working first.

Re: htc diamond user interface on touch?
 

Personally I am seeking something that looks "similar" to what the Diamond does. I'm not asking for the exact same thing or same speed. I never defined anything like that.

Fun Contact from Vito for example is an example of a very nice, clean and neat looking application that runs just fine on my Touch.

If someone could emulate even close to what the Diamond offers looks wise, it would be a step in the right direction as to something looking pretty damn neat on the Touch.

The photo contacts is sorta similar to Face Contacts, except on the side.

The Clock can be done I am sure just by having someone do up a font of that style and use it with HHC on the HTC Home.

Weather, humm don't know if it can display animated weather icons thru HTC Home. Perhaps the SPB people will work on new look-alikes.
