Please find the enclosed cab file, if you interesting on the dialpad style.
I'm not use to have 4 big button(call,history,speed dial etc) on the right, may I hand is small find difficult to press especial the backspace key. Again I'm having same problem with original ETEN dial pad as all 4 button is on the top, feeling so far away , therefore I hack it to change the button position and simply design the black style skin for my dial pad.
It may not as nice as a "pauly A", "zphone" skin but hope you guy can enjoy this new style dialpad. :wink:
Current version is not support SmartDial, I will try it out see wheither I can hack it or not.
I'm not test with others PDA phone except XDA II so use it with your own risk.
pauly A,
I'm sorry to tell you that I have used your landscape skin(grey) part of my cab, if you not allow please let me know I will remove it. Thanks.
Pretty nice, I'd be interested to try it out.

Hi man grear work but upload it fast :lol:
it is very cool idea , iconized controls very nice, keep up with it
Coool.
One comment though. Is the rounded picture frame part of the design or that just simulate a place where the picture will be? The one of the ethen phone pad design has such a design too, but later someone find it difficult to match the design with the photos that you put into the rounded frame. As such the author/designer scrap the rounded frame design. You might want to consider the fact that the photos that you put in might not able to be rounded age, and/or the photo need not have the same background colour as the 'inner frame' such that you can utilize the rounded frame.
It is wonderful. Please work and release it as soon as you can
Wow , really good ...
is it a new addon , or just an hacking of tapres.dll or cprog.exe ?
hanmin,
The rounded frame is actually just simulate a place where the picture will be. I understand this problem but for me I'm Ok with it. I may create another which without frame next time.
TofClock,
I'm hacking base on Eten dial pad Etphone.dll.
All,
I'm just finish the portrait skin, I may not include landscape now maybe will do it in future, so I will package the "Pauly-A_Skin_Grey" landscape skin into cab for now. Will release it tmr after back from my work.
Is this skin full working with smart dialing ??
because smartdialing won't work with smartdialer ....
hi nice work!
will this be compatible with other phones? ie the wizard?
S
Yeah, it looks very great!

Description updated 08 Nov 2008
I stopped using the HTC Diamond dialer after I found out that it uses 10MB of memory (8MB on some improved ROMs like SwiftBL) at all times and is partly responsible for the device's laggy dialer performance.
The default WM dialer is an ugly grey but after finding this thread about QVGA skins I decided to make my own black skin. I'd like to thank the starter of that thread, Raceit, for helping me to get started with the image files and trying to fix them for me. Cheers dude!
I don't know how to make CABs yet so here's a zip. (EDIT: CAB available in post #3.) The orange colouring in the screenshots was part of my theme, not part of the skin.
To install, first disable the HTC dialer, see post #2 for more details.
If you would like to install the black 3D skin pictured below, the easiest method is to install the CAB provided by mic_888 in post #3. If you plan to use another skin that doesn't have a CAB then I advise installing the CAB anyway, then copying the images files from the ZIP archive into the Windows folder. There are 2 advantages of installing a CAB - firstly so that the image files are unprotected and easier to overwrite and secondly to make uninstallation easier. Just uninstall the CAB to remove whatever skin you are using and revert to standard the standard WM grey skin.
Hint: The Matrix, Flat Black and Sunset skins in this thread feature transparent buttons with different edge colours, feel free to use them with your own backgrounds. It's just a case of replacing the two png images with your own choice of portrait/landscape images
EDIT: Matrix and Flat Black skins added, see post #24 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Sunset skin added, see post #29 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Grey/White skin added, see post #71 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Dark TouchFlo skin by nhvoltagenh, see post #74-#75
Please also check out the skins by holdemdogg, starting at post #49!
Edit: More Skins, good ones too...

Information about using the standard WM dialer
The main drawback of the standard WM dialer is that you cannot use it for video calling. Not an issue for me personally.
The advantages are that it saves almost 10MB of memory, even on ROMs with an optimized dialer, and gets rid of that slight lag when making or answering a call when you're not sure if it's actually going to do anything. A further benefit is that the answer and reject keys are much more difficult to press accidentally, removing the need for an additional locking program (Answerkeys Disabler, TouchLockPro, S2U2, etc.)
The HTC dialer can be disabled using DiamondTweak or Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. You must also disable the HTC Volume Control if you wish to be able to adjust the volume in-call. The only working method that I know of is to use this CAB here.
Edit: It turns out that disabling the HTC dialer also loses the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. I had a quick google and found this solution. I've tested it and it works fine on my Diamond. File attached below for convenience.
Edit 2: The developers of the bluetooth icon app have released a new version that's more compatible with VGA! See below.
Made a cab - I haven't tested it though

Nice one, glad someone else finds it useful! Can you post any more information? I don't know where those files are.
If anyone has any requests for other colours or designs, let me know. Also please feel free to post your own designs here.
so all i do is run the cab and then 10 mb will be freed up? does this work on the sprint diamond?
Any idea how to undo disable HTC volume control if I plan to go back to default HTC dialer?
Is the cab changing some registry settings?

No you need to disable the HTC dialer and volume control too. See post #2 for details. I don't know enough about the differences in the sprint but I expect so.

I don't really know what that cab does. Have you tried uninstalling from remove programs then soft-resetting?

Well done, I'd like to try this!
But, as I use skilty's TF3D Matrix theme with it's skinned dialer, I'd like to request a Matrix WM dialer skin, please. For personal use and to share it in the Matrix Trilogy theme resource thread.
Maybe you want to have a go at it? It would be great if you could design one with 'real' 1234567890 digits. Perhaps from one of the free Matrix fonts.. And it would be bonus if you could design another skin with 'actual' Matrix font digits, like these.
Or maybe you can just use skilty's dialer artwork? I could ask skilty. Anyway, TIA!
Thanks Davey101!
I'm waiting for that since a long time!!!

News flash!
The Matrix trilogy ended, lamely, 5 years ago!
I think it might be easiest to use transparent buttons with a simple green border so that the matrix background image is seen through the buttons. I'll see what I can come up with, unless you'd like to have a go?
I don't know how to change the button font, sorry.
I use Vito Winterface....
I have made these buttons but not centered!
(I take the same gif mesure of Black VGA Dialer skin: 86x56, 128x54, 142x56 and 180x54)
If somebody could help me...
THX!!!

Hi all,
Is anyone able to develope a Dialer skin that increases the numeric button sizes, There is a big bar of space at the top of the dialer that could be used for the other buttons we use, Or can we remove the call history list to increase the buttons?

I'm sure it is possible but that would involve replacing or editing the dialer software, not just the skin. The standard software has a fixed layout and we can replace the images used but not change their size or position.
It might be worth looking around for an alternative dialer...

Well, I don't know how to change anything on the WM dialer, so please, try transparent buttons and a simple green border and I'll check it out. Cheers!
Hi I'm looking about soft like Touch Flo 3D config on TP1...

I would like change Icon on Launcher !!
Help me !

Registry entry
Hi
This is a simple registry change:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/X/IconPath
Where X is the number if the icon you want to change. I must admit that I don't know what formats you can use (.png, .exe, .dll etc.) Perhaps other users can clarify.
Cheers

Sorry for my english
Can anyone tell me what dialer this is and where to get a cab?
Thanks

Looks like standard Windows Mobile 6.5.X dialer
Sascha
Cheers Sascha. I thought it might be, but I can't find a cab for it. I have the X2 dialer at the mo (cooked in the ROM) but I want to replace it as it can't do touch tones.
Anyone any idea where I might get a cab, or do I just have to remove the X2 dialer? In which case, how?
That's the default unskinned dialer. In my device all you need to do is change a registry value (go here for more).
This should have been posted in QnA...
Thanks that worked great!
Hi,
I've got a HTC Touch HD, with a french ROM : Maw_test3L FRE, without Manilla.
It's a 6.5.3 Windows, buil 28006)
I'va tried to change my dialer skin, with some others dowloaded here (RR3 BW, IPC, Dusk), but nothing to do, it's always the same, I can't change my dialer.
I've tried to change the 1.8 option with HD Tweak (HD or Windows Mobile Standart), but nothing.
I think it's the WM standart (see the picture), and it's really no good, the buttons are too small and the letters are too small for my eyes.
Perhaps is it the ROM ?
Could someone help me ?
Thanks
Its not a standard dialer, it is themed, please make sure the dialer is for your phone because when you install and nothing happens, then it must be that the dialer is for something else and what you have is different.
Please check the thread of the skin to make sure your device is supported or better, look for skins in respective device forum.
