Okay, I've been reluctant to post this, but I've search the forums and I've search Google, etc, etc. and can't find the answer... What I want to do is add two icons on my Today screen that go to my Call History and my Speed Dial. I'm using iLaunch and can pretty much create an icon to anything, but for the life of me I can't figure out the link/path to Call History or Speed Dial. I'm pretty sure it possible bacuse it's right there as a button on my dialpad. Can anyone tell me the link or how to create a link to those two applets?
Thanks!
Oh, I have a 8525 running Black 2.0

Download the attached file, unZIP it, copy CallHistory.exe to your phone, and you will have CallHistory. I dont know the solution for Speed Dial. sorry.
Thanks! Worked like a charm. Now if I could only find the Speed Dial app....

can you guys please post a Screen Image?
I just want to see if it's what I'm looking for
I currently don't have a screen-print app on my device to get you the actual image of my Today screen, but this image is similar to the look of mine with the larger icons pointing to various applications/shortcuts. The Call History and Speed Dial screens are the same as you get to by going to the Dailpad and clicking on the History and Speed Dial buttons.
I find myself using the Call History and Speed Dial more than my Contacts or manual dialing so I wanted access to those two options with one click rather than going through the dial pad or fumbling around with the bottom jog pad.
Try

Why should you have a piece of software running for his.
Press the "green" button and directional pad "right" and you will have the calle history
Press the "green" button and directional pad "left" and you will have the speed dial list

Hi guys, just wondering which dial pads people are using/likeing.
I have downloaded several Iphone style ones, but to be honest im really thinking of going back to the standard one. I havent found one yet that has smartdial working, lets you video call, and the keypad work in a call.
Just wondering what other poeple are using (as most of the Iphone threads are getting very difficult to keep track of now, and I fancy something a bit different)
Cheers all
Surely someone must have a few to recomend?
Are you looking for something like this?

I disabled my smart dialer because I find it a pain in the neck.
Admittedly, it doesn't look quite as nice, but at least I don't have to sit there waiting for it to search through my contacts while I wait for the blasted thing to figure out what I *might* be typing in (and if I WAS after a contact, I would have used the contacts app anyway....)
I'm using the one from zombienexus that ericc191 suggested, and so far it's working perfectly. I believe it fits your criteria (unless smartdial is supposed to do some other funky stuff that I have no idea about).
The only thing is, though, it doesn't skin the speed dial and call history, so currently I'm stuck with the ugly blue buttons from the standard dialpad without any idea how to replace them.
Make sure you backup everything though.
i have a matter with this dial pad , not use for my PDA

I have never used this dial pad so I'm not exactly sure but.. I've learned that if you toy around with your phone enough, eventually you'll get it the way you want it.

Which one did you install? Mine is the exact one there. I think it's the black extra for 3g video.
Thanks guys
Hi all,
What am I missing here? I've used three different dialer skins (right now I'm using a version of the big-button one), and the "redial" button on the bottom right of the screen doesn't seem to work.
I'm talking about the button that (in most versions that I've seen) has the phone icon with an arrow pointing away from the phone, to the right.
When I bring up the dialer, it says "Last call: xxx-xxxx", so I'd like a way to dial that number again with one touch instead of having to go to the call history, which is what I have to do now.
Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
you need to be more specific about which dialer you are using, there are many. Have you tried just hitting the "talk" hardbutton, after pulling up the dialpad. It redials the last number on the screen for me.
If it doesn't then you should try Paul Hammon's big button dialpad for mogul over at pdaphonehome.com. every stock functions are retained, including smartdial and redial.
i tried multiple skins and ran into that same issue.. literally 20 skins easily.. i tried paul's skin and all my questions were answered.. the skin works flawless and I personally love it.

I am running into the same issue with tons and tons of different skins...such as the standard iphone, retail iphone, eten, marshall, and lots of other ones..... REDIAL just DOES NOT WORK!! I am sure everyone is experiencing these issues.
have we figured out any solutions yet?
The first reply was correct -- all of these other skins are based on a non-sprint dialer, so some things don't work (like redial, but more importantly, 911!)
Use Paul Hammons Touch dialer and it'll be fine. It's just as skinnable, with the only down-side that I've seen thusfar that the contact picture is slightly smaller.
I have a dialer skin that everything works correctly, including # codes. Search for Mogul Big Button Dialer. It is an improved version of the Kaiser skin.

This is the same Paul Hammons dialer that Skatsev spoke of in the previous reply. The original thread is on pdaphonehome.com
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/91652-sprint-native-big-button-dialer-theme-here.html
for those of you who want a different dialer skin other than the default one on the phone, and you don't like paul's version, there is another skin that i found on xda this morning that works perfectly on the mogul
it allows the use of the codes as well (example ##778, etc...) and doesn't mess up your emergency 911 dialing either.
I didn't create this. i just dl it this morning on my way out the door and ran it on my phone while at work today. personally, i love it.
Give it a shot.

This was discussed in numerous posts above. Please read through this thread again.

like i said, if you want ALL functions of the stock dialer (redial, 911, ##functions, Smartdial, etc., etc.), you have only two options that i know of: Paul Hammon's dialer from pdaphonehome.com or the stock dialer itself.
If you want to prove me wrong, then please do extensive testing before posting it.
If you look through the thread on pdaphonehome. com concerning Paul's dialer, you will realize within that dialer, there are other "skins" available to make it look like the Touch dialer, etc. There are also instructions on how to skin the dialer yourself to some extent. I knew nothing about skinning, and I was able to create my own skins with that dialer including using vista-type 3d icons and iphone icons. Skinning options are limited on that dialer, but they are there.

Is there anyone on here that would be willing to take on a small project with me? I created an iPhone Style Dialer Skin here a couple weeks ago, and need some help with the next step I'm trying to do with both the dialer and a weather program, if its possible. What I need help with on the dialer taking the TALK button on the KEYPAD section of the dialer and switching its place with the CALL HISTORY button is, and also a very small button replacemnet on the STATUS screen. The skin I made is for the Jimm98y dialer. I take no credit in the creation of this dialer and thank Jimm98y for his terrific work. This dialer is by far on of , if not the most stable and (working) functional dialer out theere. There are so many requests for an iPhone style diale that doesnt have any bugs right now , myself included I figured this would be a nice hold over until one of the truly magnificent iPhone style dialers , like Nargz, or Dcx's get the smal kinks worked out. On my Vogue , all current iPhone style dialers lock up when switching between call status and the keyboard, and from what I've read this is on a lot of other ppl's phones as well. If someone is willing to help with getting these buttons switched around please tell me. Ill tell you about the call status screen too. I will supply all the graphic files for it, and aslo have the smart dial and redial function working. This dialer has so far worked on GSM and CDMA phones, and there haven't been many problems reported at all. I believe it would make a perfect iPhone style dialer. So any help would be greatly appreciated by myself and hopefully many others. Anyone not able to do the changes, but is still interested in the dialer ,please show some support and share your thoughts. Again thank you for any help.
Also need the same kind of help with a weather app. I have a skin thats similar to Freestyls Weather app , but again need 1 or 2 buttons moved/swithced.
paragraphs are your friend...
