Orange Dialer skin

Hi
Yesterday I put the new Orange ROM on my o2 Exec, but have now gone to the fully-released i-mate one as I believed it is better. However, I REALLY like both the Orange.tsk (the 600k one, not the 100ish one they provide in the official rom) and the Orange dialer. In a blonde moment, I almost thought that if I copied the Orange .cab to install the video telephony, etc, it would copy the graphics across. I quickly came to my senses.
I've got the Orange theme on the phone now and I really like it, but it would be very much appreciated it someone could post the files to the Orange dialer? I've searched but can't find anything.
For info, you can find the filenames in the registry: HKLM > Security > Phone > Skin > Dialer > landscape and portrait.
Cheers

Hi,
Would be interested as to why you think the I-Mate Rom is better. Am thinking of changing my M5000 Rom but not sure as to what one to change it to.
Thanks

Dunno. Just a gut feeling, I suppose. Speed of moving through menus, plus I was getting that garbled Start bar issue after fullscreen apps closed. I may have seen the odd i-mate rom'd post with that issue, but I never had it with mine.
With the test build of the imate rom - and hopefully with the full one - I finally felt my Exec was performing and behaving as it should.
Ant
PS - any takers on providing those graphics?

Noone willing to help me out for 5 mins of their time?
Cheers
Ant

Dear Anton.Valleyman,
I have manage to get the files of orange dialpad... Copy all the files in the rar archive to windows dir in ppc with resco file explorer and overwrite old files then soft reset...

Excellent guys, thanks very much!!
Ant

Thanks a lot guys.
Pls post more. Anyone got the original O2 dialpad.
Thanks.

Goes without saying that anyone wishing to do this, must first turn wireless mode on else you'll get a file-in-use error and won't be able to copy. Happened to me in a schoolboy error moment earlier today. The voda backdrop looks much better than the o2 / Orange ones, but wish they hadn't put the voda speechmark logo on it!!
Thanks again for the files, guys.

Hehe, I did mine via the phone itself.
1) Wi-fi'd the files to My Documents
2) Turned flight mode on and then soft reset
3) Once rebooted, confirmed phone was still of, then using Resco File Explorer, copy the files into \windows, saying yes to overwriting
4) Soft reset
After it came back, pressed phone and the dialer is now in the new format.
HTH

Will this include the VideoCall button and also map the Videocall link to that button??
I just cold-booted my replacement unit (dropped the old one) and thought I'd try it without the Orange Ext-Rom - so far so good but would still like the ability to VideoCall.

Modify Cabs

Hi,
I have a cab file of Wm5torage which is asking about restart or not after installation, the problem is that i put this file in my extended rom, to make it installed after a hard reset.
The probleme is the question of restart or no, it hangs the installation.And I have to reboot it myself.
So i would like to know how to avoid this question by modifying the Cab.
Thanks for your futur answers

You can use MSCEInf (http://preview.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1519) to see what is inside a cab. Then you can repackage it yourself.
Cheers
Mark

Actually, it's not that simple in this case.
I was hoping the author of the program might see this post and answer you, but let me give it a shot for now.
The reset is done by the cabs setup.dll (it may have a different name inside the cab). Using MSCEInf markvan mentioned or CE Cab Manager (there is a demo version that will run 15 times) you can remove this dll from the cab. Trouble is it may contain other functionality (like reg settings) needed during the installation so the app won't install properly without it.
Sorry.

MSCEInf and SetupDLL.dll
Yes, i have omitted in the last version published of MSCEInf to extract the setup DLL, but the name of the setup DLL in the cab is always ".999". So, for now you can extract it by Winzip or Cabextract.
If there is no file with this extension, there is not setup DLL.
But in the tab : Generalities, you find the name of the setup DLL if it exists.
Future version of MSCEInf (vesion 1.4) will extract the setup DLL. This new version will also do these things :
- Drag and Drop from the Tab Files to the Explorer.
- Context Menu on Files in the Tab to open it with associated application or with Notepad.
- Use Names Folder for extracting.
- read also _setup.xml and do the same as for traditional INF and shows all things in the cab. It also rebuilds the traditional Inf from the XML.
Regards, Benoît

when i use cabs in ext rom which require feedback from the user
and it dont respond to touchscreen i found that
i can just use the action button to choose which answer it should be

Hi,
I extracted the dll and used reshack to edit it but i just see 2 messages in
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
And i don't think that just remove the restart message will solve my prob.
If you have any other idea...

Dll resources have nothing to do with its activities.
The only way to replace it is to know exactly what it does either by asking the author or by viewing the source code (if available).
My advice is this: try installing without the dll. If the app works, then you can dump the dll all together, if not try contacting the program author for help.

Post the cab - i will have a go at modifying it for you - i think its the setup.xml that needs changing.
EDIT managed what you asked (omitted setup.dll and modified setup.xml)- can get rid of the destination dialog as well if you like assuming like me you always install to \program files\wm5torage. Just need to know what version you use.

hi,
thanks for help.I'm using the 1.71 of wm5torage.How to post the file?
bye
herc. 8)

Hi - i use 1.7 - if you want 1.71 you add it as an attachment to your post. It works as you want - do you want no destination dialog as well? I am at work at the moment - will post the modified cab tonight

Modified cab attached - its most up to date version 1.72.
mods are:
1. No setup.dll so no request to restart device (not required anyhow)
2. Installs shortcut to start menu\program files rather than start menu\accessories
3. Installs straight to \program files\wm5torage rather than having a destination dialog.

Many thanks for your help
Bye

HTC Touch dialer w/ smartdial based on Jimm98y's dialer!

Here's the cab file for my Jimm98y Touch dialer,thanks to KidGixxer

I figured out how to customize Jimm98y dialer. It's a great, stable dialer that has smartdialer working perfectly.
First install Jimm98y dialer, then go to /windows and look for all the .png files that begin with Jimm98y. Copy those files to your computer and change them using the original as templates.
Update: I got HTC Touch dialer in portrait and landscape done.
Here's the PNG files you'll need for the Jimm98y dialer. All you have to do is:
Extract the files
Copy them into /windows folder in your pocket pc.
Overwrite the files.
Reset the phone.
Voila!

Great work..!
I will try it..!

whats the chances of making this into an actual cab file to just install once instead of messing around with copying files?
im sure mfrazz could help with that!
looks fantastic by the way!

this one looks alot better than the HTC one. lol i wasnt a big fan of that bright color it had on it

Here's the file, but uploaded to XDA.

It looks like a ZIP file to me
Install instructions:
- Download and install the 'Jimm98y' dialer.
- Extract the files from the ZIP file in this thread.
- Copy all files >> /windows/ on your pocketpc (overwrite all files).
- Soft reset your device
It was even in the first thread, but now you really can't miss!

on exec don't work, hic

For those that want this as a cab file, it is pretty simple to do. Get a cab manager (winCE cab manager) and create a new cab with the files in there.

The smartdail on jimmy's dailer somehow not working on my BA. Any BA user encounter this problem?

DOes it works in VGA screens?

Nope, this is a QVGA version..

I included the cab file in my first post that merges the Touch skin and Jimm98y's dialer, courtesy of KidGixxer

Smart Dial not working
I really love this skin, have done since the first jimmy98y dialer.
The problem is that my smart dial doesn't work.
My dialer looks like the one on the first post without the smart dial. Also, my left softkey is "Hide Keypad.
Any ideas?
(The cab wouldn't install by the way, I just copied the files into the windows folder manually)
Thanks and great work!

Oh wow, I don't know then. I never seen it like that....anyone else having this same problem?

Here's my take on the Call log buttons. They are based on the HTC logo =)
Just download them, extract them, and copy them to the /windows folder of your PPC

Diamond Accessories

I have created several Diamiondish Accessories for you guys to use.
Startup Images
Comm Manager
PsShutXP Skin (QVGA Only)
HTC Home Profile Icons "Landscape Support"
These aren't perfect but it's something. So if you like it use it, or request something else and I'll try to make it

NEW
*Only use if your phone has a ROM which has Startup Image capabilities*
They are already made into PNG files, all you would need to do is rename them into the name already being used by your Startup Image.
Then copy it and place it into your \Windows Directory in your phone.
Now every time you restart your phone you will have a new custom Startup Image.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comm Manager
First Uninstall any custom Comm Manager.
Soft Reset your phone and then install the Cab I provided. Then soft reset once again.
For advanced users, you can change the type of functionality by going into the registry.
HKLM -- Software--HTC--CommManager
Remember there are only 6 available functions at one time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PsShutXP Skin
*You must have the PsShutXP program in order to use this*
All you would need to do is copy the files from the ZIP into the PsShutXP folder. This will override the original images, so make a back up if you want to use the previous images again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can make other colors / modifications if I have time later on. I'm open for requests.
Enjoy

Comm Manager

looks very nice....however i think that all this diamond stuff is getting a bit over-used...but thats just me. looks good anyways

HTC Touch Pro / Diamond Profile Icons for HTC Home
All you would need to do is extract the images from the ZIP and copy them to your respective HTC Home Icon Folder in your phone.

common manager seems very nice

thanks for that carlos.

thanks you carlos ,

awesome, thanks for the cab carlos...

Nice!
Thanks for all these welcomeheads!

Did you remove any other custom Comm Manager, or close out all programs especially Comm Manager?

how to remove the buildin comm manager of a touch cruise ? Not possible i think ?

If it's built in then you should be fine by just installing the CAB.
You only get a problem by trying to override a custom Comm Manager with another Cabed one.

More noob questions because i had problems with diamond dialers/skins:
1. is this just replacing my "old" graphics or is this a complete application ?
2. and will the language change to english ?

At this moment I don't recommend using the Diamond Dialers if you have Video Calling. None of those dialers support Video Calling.
But I will work on that later. The finished product will be a skin that will just replace the images on your phone.

okay, thanks, and what about my questions about your commmanager ?

If it's built into your ROM then all you would have to do is just install the CAB.

Theme
Is your Touch Pro theme ready for more widespread use? I actually like its look and would like to try it on my 6800.
Thanks,

"for some reason i get a message saying i don't have enough permissions to install the comm manager.."
I had the same problem. I had to do a soft reset before I could install this nice comm. manager

[HINT] Using Myriad JAVA taken from SE X2

Hello everybody,
Maybe a couple of you are like me not really satisfied with the integrated JBlend. It doesn't create shortcuts, looks bad etc. ...
For me the Java-client of the SE Xperia X2 did solve that problem. You can load it here: *KLICK* (Post 2)
Install it and if you're not using WWE-Rom then do the following changes within the registry:
ultrashot said:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Esmertec Java]
"ProgramsGamesURL"="\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Games" ;this
"ProgramsURL"="\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs"
\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Games is a language-dependent part
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do a softreset and install any midlets you want. Shortcuts will be created by default (see my screen). With this JAVA-client it is also possible to run midlets in Landscape mode (2nd screen) - added Opera Mini to rotation support with BsB-Tweak.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you want to open your midlets that are already installed on your device then go to Windows/java and simply click all the *.jar-files within that folder. They will now automatically install with the new JAVA-suite.
Maybe someone likes it as I do.
Cheers.

I downloaded the java from your link and installed it. however, I can't seem to find it in the list of programs. How do I access the new java engine? I am using WWE ROM.

As I said you have to reinstall your installed Midlets (can be found in Windows/java, *.jar-files). Then shortcuts will be created in your start menu. To see a list of all installed Midlets go to Settings (Wm6.5, not Sense), System and click on "Java".

Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing! Im using it now..

Can it Run on Samsung i900/i908?
Hi, I installed Myriad Java on my Samsung Omnia i908, but whenever I run the Jar file, it just caused a certification problem. Can Myriad Java support Samsung i900/i908?
Thanks!

hey i tried to install myriad java on my omnia i8000 running winmo 6.1 official rom but it says "either it is not signed with a trusted certificate certificate error or one of the component cannot be found. try reinstalling." can u please upload the extracted jbed.exe in ur \windows dir please . . . . thank you.

I would like to know how can we change the fonts size in Myriad Java? In Esmertec Jbed, we could edit the fonts via registry tweaks, but I have not found similar tweak for Myriad Java. Anyone knows how?
