Changing phone skin

Hi everybody,
I used to change dialer skins with DesignLab XDA Skin chooser but suddenly the skin is not changing.
Everytime I try to change it, the old one remains in use. And it's not the standard skin.
Anyone has seen this problem before?
If so how do you reset to the standard skin?
Where is it saved?
Thanks for your help

Hi Durius,
hmm, I never managed to change Dialer Skins with XDA Skin Chooser on my Himalaya Device. I rememer reading in this forum that the skin Chooser only works with XDA I Phones (but I may be mistaken). Just search the forum.
Instead I use V2R Skin Installer for Phone Skins.
You can get this at http://www.ppc-club.com
Additionally there are quite few Skins. Unfortunately you can D/L only two or three before they start charging you.
To be ahead of hshortt :wink: , there are skins on his side too:

DOH! Pipped to the post again! hee hee

Hi,
I've used XDA skin chooser for sometime on qtek 2020 and it worked but then I could not change the phone skin anymore.
Now I've installed V2R and the question is that I want to use the t-mobile phone skin but I always get the skin previously installed.
So, what I would like to know is how to change the skin by hand...
Is there a way?
Thanks you all

Hmm,
maybe a more advanced user can point out a way to use the t-mobile customization cab located in the extended rom....
Or maybe you can use the Information provided in this thread:

Hi
I think the dialer skin is located ( at least on my O2 XDA2 ) under
windows\v2r\DialerSkins\o2_skin
I guess tmob will have something similar... so just exchanging these files should work

PSK Installer is free from V2R, there's also a copy hosted on my site for ease of access.

great job! i like it! Somehow more crisp and pleasant to the eye than the first one.

Thanks for this nice skin.
I installed it on my Qtek 2020 but I have a strange problem, after I install the cab file I restarted my Qtek and this new phone skin apears nice but all the text appears in duplicate on the screen, is like having the same numbers and words in duplicate on the smae spot. And this reduces alot the quality of this new skin.
Do you know what is this problem?
Im using WM2003 SE 2.20.07 WWE
Thanks

Good one!
I'm using voice dialing at the moment but bigger keys would make it easier to dial with one hand!

Thanks for you comment @rico_b, @ptan218 :wink:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"IcoFil"="xPad.dll"

Err it works perfectly on my MDA compact ? Which is the same as your JAM. Only (slight) hitch was having to move the skin files into the main directory. Can give details if you are struggling.
<edit> Found you have to do a soft reset sometimes after you have changed the skin

when i open this app, appears only the original skin! where should i move the 7 included skins to be appeared on this app? thanks

I have found Dialpad Maker Deluxe v2.0 to make skin of phone pad. It is useful and easy to make skin.
Thanks!

dj_vts:
you must install skin chooser to default place on yout ppc... not on card or storage

MPI_ProgramsIcons.dll have 106 icons in.
A lot of work in perspective

Icons for Setting
Great work. Do you have the set of icons for all the items in 3 tabs under setting. That would be really great!! Thanks for sharing.

Looks very good... But since you seem to be good at this, is there anyway you also could make a pack with the original WM6.5 icons???
Would be amazing...

hey thanx for putting this cab together for the new look icons.....im always down for something thatll make my phone stand out lol....

nice work, simple and beautiful

can someone please upload the original dll?

Just read about this on FuzeMobility and have to say, job well done...

Awesome, Korand. Works like a charm.
One thing though. For the following apps, I now have two icons; (1) are your icons:
Office Mobile, Office Mobile (1)
Calendar, Calendar (1)
Contacts, Contacts (1)
Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer (1)
Live Search, Live Search (1)
They both go to the same place. Can you tell me how to remove the old icons?
Thanks and, again, great job!

106 icons file?
I did a search on my Fuze for the MPI_ProgramsIcons.dll you mentioned in an earlier post, but couldn't find it. Can you tell me where I can find them and how to install them?
Thanks.

Can someone mirror these files. I for some reason can't download of rapidshare

Thanks again Korand.

Korand,
Thank you for your great work. Works like a charm on the Blackstone, even with a French ROM. !!!
Would be great if someone could also make the new icons for powerpoint, onenote mobile, rss hub, messenger and Google maps. Don't know how to do...
Thank you

These are awesome! Great job!

Rhodium omega speedmaster clock

Hello,
is here anybody which make me a working cab from the Omega Speedmaster
the png files are in the attachment.
i'am a big fan of this clock and this on my rhodium is like Christmas Eastern and Newyear on one day.
i will donate it
Thank everybody !!

re
What's happend in this forum no interest for a classic great clock...?????

Hi,
RR33 can help rookie333 for free lol
You can't have exactly this watch because TF3D needs date and AM/PM boxes
but tell me more :
what is your device/resolution ? diamond/Raphael in 640x480 - Topaz/Rhodium in 800x480
what is your TF3D ? 1, 2 or 2.1
I know that SergioPC made an omega analog clock, his skydrive is HERE
Try to install AnalogClock.cab then do a soft reset,
if it doesn't work or bugs then uninstall the cab and do a soft reset
^^

re
Hi, many thanks it's for my rhodium i try it myself without succeed. it's the german stock rom with manila 2.1 ?
ingo

re
i try one of the analog clock cab's from sergio which works but the display is splitted i think the file was for a smaller resolution.
unfortunately his moon watch are only two manila files when i copy the files with the commander in the windows root and perform a soft reset my display shows the same like before......
please be so friendly and try to build a cab file for me.....thanks a lot

re
That sounds great i'll try some CAB'S from sergio-pc all works perfekt without the moon watch nothing happens like rookie333
i have raphael with the stock rom from february i think it must be manila 1.2
Thank you very much

It works because your Raphael is VGA but rookie333 has a WVGA rhodium with a higher resolution so the image must be resized.
Don't worry, I'll make a cab but I only have a VGA diamond so I need a model of analog clock that works on your WVGA Rhodium : do you have one ?
I found a nice thread by maxycy for WVGA TF3D : HERE
What style of analog clock do you want ?

re
the only which works is this X1Clock.cab, TTM in all version don't work on my rhodium
Thanks again and have a great weekend

Hi,
don't worry, I will not let you down till the cab works ^^

Think you can make a VGA version for my diamond?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards

hi,
if you are talking about the seamaster clock then SergioPC already made it for Diamond HERE

re
Hi R33
Here is the screenshot.....and the original picture from the speedy so you can see the hands
Thank you
Ingo

Thank you very much for your advice.

Hi,
thanks for the screnshot I can see your problem now ^^
You'll have another cab soon.
I suggest you to install Personalizer to hide the operator name : when personalizer ask you to enter your text, press space once then ok. In this way you'll see better the tiny flip clock in upper right corner.
