HTC Diamond Keyboard Hacked and Available…
Posted by Chris Leckness on 05/13/08 in HTC, Software
Well, in less than a week, a user over at XDA Devs has already hacked the Diamond’s rom and extracted the new soft keyboard. This one is somewhat iPhone-ish and there are others out there that are available as well, but if you want the hacked one strait from the HTC Diamond, you’ll have to head over to XDA Devs.
I have not tried this, nor do I think I will, but apparently Malatesta at WM Experts has and he offers a couple tips…
- install is a bit slow, but normal
- default language is Italian (change to English in settings)
Here is a cab I created and AllTheWay just tested. It should work fine. It will ask you to reset your device and then it will give you 3 new KB layouts. Touch Diamond Keyborad, Touch Diamond Keypad and Touch Diamond Qwerty. Hope you guys like it.

does this work in WM5?
I tested in WM2003SE emulator and does not work there.
Ok, in WM5 VGA emulator it does work but it does not look good because it’s not VGA compatible. I’m gonna test it now in the WM5 QVGA emulator.
Ok, it works perfectly in WM5 QVGA Emulator. So… forget about using it in our Axims! :(
I’m going to hold off until a safer and VGA version of this becomes available, it nearly bricked my device as it is now, I had to do a hard reset to get rid of it. Thankfully, I had Sprite Backup 6, or else I would have had a long 5 and a half hours of reloading programs ahead of me.
