I made silver phone skin for Universal.
The screenshot shows Japanese, but you will see English if you use English ROM.
Enjoy!!

Added Black one.
Again, the letters depends on your ROM or mui setting except for "Video".

Again, the characters on buttons depand on your mui setting.

Uoloaded carrier's on this thread.
Very nice, but this has to be installed in the main memory to work, thus taking up our precious memory.
very nice , can you pm me how to make it :wink:
thanks
cktlcmd:
Yes, this cab file is too big just to change phone skin. It would be possible to use skin files in storage after changing registry.
I recommend cooking your own ROM with your own skin (or mine). (Of course, you cannot use carrier's in this case.
mwang:
There are many *.bmp files used for phone skin. I haven't perfectly found which bmp file is related to each button.
Only with this change, you cannot change "Video" button. The *.dll files (phcanlrc.dll & phcanprc.dll) have resources for "Video" button. You have to change it if you want to change "Video" button.
You will need to change resources of "phcanOverbmp.dll" if necessary.
As for registry, you will find many keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]

I have tryed to run one of the files on an Emulator and the Emulator HArd resetted itself. Have you got any idea ??? will that happen with the device also ? PLus does it really mean that you can get rid of the ugly t-mobile phone skin but keep the Video button ??
Churchill:
I've never run these skin files on emulator, but these worked fine on my Qtek-9000. I also can swich skins with these cab files. I have no idea why these skins shut off your emulator.
Regarding "Video" button, these are included in dll files in my cab file. You can modify or replace it to another one. It would be possible to use T-Mobile "Video" button only. (i.e. use Vodafone skin and replace dll to T-Mobile)
P.S. I don't think T-Mobile's is ugly but this is only a taste.
hard reset problem <Emulator
i guess OS on emulator didnt have 3G function.
so relative files of 3G function, such like follows confilict with its owns.
phcanprc.dll
phcanOverbmp.dll
phcanlrc.dll
phcanhtc.dll
phcanrc.dll
anyway, shugo's sikins are for the Phone with 3G,
should not use on Non-3G phone.
You might be right abou that Asukal
Thanx
Best phone skin so far??
I've seen this phone skin...I love it...
And I've used the search function on this site, but can only find it available for smaller screen HTC devices... ie; KJam :x It does not work on the Universal.
I'm no expert, but can someone explain to me how (in idiot's language please) I can recreate this skin for the Universal?
I can use Photoshop easy, so once I figure out how to extract the relevant gif files, I can alter the buttons quite easily....
If someone can explain it to me, I am willing to email / post the results back here...
Here's what the skin looks like...
try spb dialer skin
hi all..
for those who is really bored with the original dialer skin,..
y dont u check the spb software house site..
they give a few free skin (it's made for their spb software actually)..
but the they still give the free dialer skin..
me myself use one of their dialer skin, quite ok though..
dunno if it's works with ur machine, but mine (xda IIs), not a single problem...
eventhough the site said it's not working on wm2003se..
okie...
Which of the 3 looks better?
I placed the *.BMPs into unlocked ExtendedROM

"Wisbar Advance 2", you have to download from Wisbar website.
But you need to download the Theme from the web (done by somebody) it is call Pocket OsX.
http://members.chello.nl/ddelug/skin.htm
Be warn that Wisbar will slowdown the PPC a little bit.
I think the new dial pad from CrossBow Theme looks better.
how on earth do you change the keypad skin on a universal without going to registry all the time i thought its meant to chnage with the theme.
regards
I actually did registry edit almost manually.
First I copy the keypad related registry out into *.REG files. Keep this as a backup and make another copy to do a text edit and modified it manually. Basically the filenames are the same, I put the new skin in the extended rom, so I need only to change the texts "\Windows\" to "\ExtendedRom\Windows\". Afterwhich I copy the new *.REG back into the registry. Soft reset and NEW ＤＩＡＬＰＡＤ ＳＫＩＮ.
These may not be perfect, but I made Hermes phone skins from dumped rom and Universal's that I made.
I'm using T-Mobile USA and vodafone-JP but I have TyTN with green (or blue) phone skin. So I would like T-Mobile's and vodafone's.
My Hermes has 0411.mui, so Japanese localized. You will see your local letters on your phone skin except for "Video".
You can change "Video" by changing bmp file.
Enjoy

Please post Screenshots along with the files. So everybody can have a first look before downloading and trying.
Thanks
It's a very nice dialer skin, but unfortunately it has a glitch. Is there any way to fix it? TIA!

Paulya Phone Skins and HTC Universal
I have tried the skins from paulya.com on a Universal with ROM as below.
They do NOT work. I have attempted to modify the graphics of Pauly's very nice skins for my own use, this is possible and you can make the appearance on the screen appear normal at the corrected pixels per inch size, however, the underlying .dll that controls the layout of the touch screen that comes bundled does not ammend the touch responses correctly (as an example: in portrait mode the graphics for SPEED DIAL, HISTORY and TALK remain horiozontal above the number pad, whereas the .dll expects to find them in a vertical list to the right of the dialpad. If you have the time and the skills there are instructions on several forums (including this one) for editing the relevant dynamic link libraries.
The only skin I have found so far that works (as downloaded, out of the box, so to speak) on this device with its current ROM is O2's XDA Exec skin (or one made for it by a third party) which is attached to this post. This skin however consumes 2mb of storage for a minor change in appearance (transparent in place of solid graphics). I have deleted it.
Incidentally I have paulya's Vista phone skin on my HTC Himalaya. It is beautiful graphic work and makes the device very usable with one hand no pointer required. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
CORRECTION:
Further effort shows that the underlying .dll bundled with paulya's eten skins does amend the touchpad on the screen correctly. (i.e. you get the result you would expect by tapping on the screen, but the graphics will not display correctly even when they are resized to 192 pixels per inch. I would imagine there is only a small effort required to get from here to something that works but I do not know how to do that.

Hey i didnt get it right... the vista skin does it work on exec.... i suppose not.... please can u upload any working skin for exec.. i have been looking for the same for quite some time but the search is futile.... else upload the 2 mb skin u mentioned about... i m ready to sacrifice 2 mb for a good looking dial pad skin... thanx
PaulyA.com is no longer. For those of you who are still interested I have moved all my projects to JPL4Designs.com. The old site got robbed while I slept on it.. Mods, if you please update my links on the forums I would greatly appreciate it. Google is picking them off XDA-Dev and others rating the old site high. Thanks so much.

Bump

Welcome to the forum
If you do a read and search you'll find some nice dial pads for Uni
Good luck,
OK I am still using windows mobile five due to work related reasons. Hopefully they will upgrade my active sync to a WM6 compatible version so I can upgrade. I am trying rlToday and the TouchLike theme. It looks really good... Well what I can see of it. But everything is very big.
I have looked around and the 8125 is suppose to be QVGA... or am I mistaken? I have tried themes for WA, SBSH, SPB, ... but it seems like all QVGA themes turn out to be very large on my screen and unusable. I then try the VGA themes and they are the same way. Am I doint something wrong? is the 8125 a non-VGA PDA? do I have to turn something on?
I have been searching these forms for a week or so now and can not find anything.
Best Regards,
SoBBie
The 8125 is definitely a QVGA device.Not to be insulting, but you are for sure installing QVGA themes? I would think if something were wacky with your device everything would look "wrong."
Wizard is definately a QVGA screen.. when you have thing bigger than your screen, chances are, you are using a VGA program/theme/skin. Think, a 640x480 stuff inside a 320x240.. bigger on which screen?
i posted this in the windows mobile 6 hermes thread but didn't get any response...a while back people where making crazy variations of the E-Ten dialer skins for WM5...i became a huge fan of the design because the buttons where nice and big and it was very simple...i was wondering if someone can help me convert some to WM6 or do it for US cuz i'm not good at any type of programing what so ever...if you dont remember the E-Ten Dialpad skins here is a link of someone who made a bunch for WM5 http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm just scroll down til you see "Skins for E-TEN Dialer" those are the ones i wanted to convert to WM6...is it possible...TIA...
