I have an O2 XDA mini s. I got really fed up with all the O2 stuff taking up all the space on the today screen so I did a hard reset and then did a soft reset before all the O2 stuff got installed.
I'm much happier with this now but the only problem I have is that the smart dialer does not work. How can I reinstall just the dialer without installing all the operator stuff?
Cheers
The SmartDialer is a CAB file in the extended rom.
Install it and you will be fine.
If you don't know how to find it, I attached the SmartDialer CAB from my Qtek 2.18 Rom, I'm almost sure that if you install this one, you will be just fine
Worked a treat - Thanks Molski
I did a little house cleaning on my phone today and accidently erased the smart dialer reg settings (ok well not accidently but now i can't open the smart dialer options). I used the above .cab to reinstal the smart dialer program but its still not coming up... any suggestions?
If its any help i need the customization something or other settings in
\HKLM\Software\Apps\
edit: nevermind i got it, i'd turned off the cingular skin in \HKLM\Securtiy\Phone\Skin
Okay, I would like to acknowledge that this is primarily my fault because I was both lazy and stupid.
1. I downloaded the Etenskin+ smartdialer that is floating around here, as well as the landscape skin and installed them. They show up in my remove programs as Geo77... I definitely prefer it to the stock dialer but did not love the color so I...
2. downloaded the Vista Black skin from this website http://www.paulya.com/etenskins.htm
From my understanding this skin worked with smartdialer. I followed the instructions, unzipped the files and copied them into my windows directory. As I clicked okay to replae the existing files, I thought, "How will I get these off if I dont like them?" but it was too late
Well the skin doesn't quite work, there is sort of a blue shadow, almost like a double image and I like it but don;t love it, so now I want to remove it. Of course, I do not have a copy of the original files.
Any suggestions?!
just go to settings, remove programs, and uninstall the dialer. assuming you install using active sync or cab file

Thanks Weezy! I was kind of afraid to do that since I didn't know what would be left. Worked like a charm, uninstalled and then re-installed and I am back to step one.
The search for the perfect dialer skin continues!
I also tried that smartdialer with eten dialer and hated it. i hate the smartdial crap. so i just uploaded the vista eten dialer and it worked perfectly, except for when its in landscape mode. it screwed it up so i had to install it again. but no biggie. i see no purpose of using the phone in landscape mode.

I agree with you on the landscape mode. I threw it on since I have the room in memory.
I don't hate the smartdialer though, and I definitely prefer the etenskin to the standard dialer when I do need to use the keypad. I usually use voice command to dial a number that is not in my contacts, but for things like entering an account # or making a choice on a IVR, it is nice to have larger buttons.
I think there is a way you can get the etenskin and disable the smart dialer. Check out the website in my previous post in this thread.

Wait, I thought Black Glass was the only one you could get from E-Ten that supports SmartDial. So you're saying that others on the page (Black Vista) support it?
Have you been getting frustrated with some of the dialers that after you install, either the screen will look funny (see first picture) or smartdial menu is not appearing?
Well, after many testing, I have managed to find the solution to make it work. The skins I used for this 3G combo dialer comes from bluemetalaxe and sakajati. Special thanks to both of them for their skins.
I only have a Kaiser, so not too sure if it will work for other phones. Do let me know if it works for other phones. Note that the new skins is only for portrait, not landscape. For landscape, it is the default from HTC. Hopefully, I can get some skins for landscape to add into the cabs.
Enjoy:
Steps to make it work:
1. SR your device.
2. Use a registry editor to delete the following registry. Note that some of the registry keys cannot be deleted the first time round, so after you have finished the list, do a SR and repeat the deleting of registry keys.
3. Do another SR and install the smartdial cab. Next install the 3G dialer cab.
4. Copy the white background video buttons from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3486541&postcount=36) to \Windows. (New screen capture had been added).
5. SR and you should have a working 3G dialer.

great work look nice
congratulation for your dialer
great work, i've been searching for this for long timee.. thx dude
I Like you dialer
SmartDialer work fine
I didn't have 3g connection right now, so I don't know it's work or not.
I didn't edit any registry because it's say cannot access.
so, I try to install smartdialer first and then 3G dialer.
It's have a some error on installing 3G dialer. It's say you have to remove SmartDialer version first.
I accept and again error tell me that cannot remove SmartDialer version.
Anyway, after that error it can continue install 3G dialer and finish. SR again.
Now, It's work fine and look nice.
Thanks for your work.
My Phone is Dopod 810 or Trinity

I tryed it but video call dont work on my Trinity with French Rom (Netdrg 3.5L)
Apprearence is OK except in the "menu" which shows some trouble. I think it's due to smartdialling.dll.0409.mui and phcanrc.dll.0409.mui that are in english (0409) and not in French (040C).
Any Idea ?

Sorry, not too sure but if you think it is due to the two files, and if you have the right French files, pm me and let me know. I can change the two files for you and make a new cab.
Thank you for the proposal. I need first to find the 2 files.

Did you follow the steps I mentioned to delete those registries in between SR?
I've not experienced what you had mentioned. Tried on many Kaiser roms and works all the time without the problems you highlighted.

yes i did ... i actually did remove the entries from my rgus from rom kitchen and did then cook it in, but still the same issue
i guess it has something to do with that reg-key HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\PHONE\NikeOptionOnOff .. i did set this to 0 and the phone did actually not dial after softreset - but still "auto-dial" when switching on from standby
I installed Smartdial and 3G dialer and everything works perfect without any problems.
The only thing that changed and didn't wanted it to, is that the icons on the taskbar have changed, even the battery icon.

Can you do a screen capture of the icons on the taskbar before and after you installed the dialer?

Hi,
Need help here, i have just install the phonEx 1.35, however, after installation, when i turn on the bluetooth, it does not show up on the taskbar anymore.
Can someone here help me get this back?
Thanks

It doesnt come back after uninstall either!!
Nice software but I do miss the bluetooth notifacation when using a headset.
Any help on getting it back??
j
i believe this is because of the plug in that includes the bluetooth and wifi, but it seem that the wifi logo will still be there if on, but not the bluetooth
any help is deeply appreciated

I have not try uninstalling it, but did you try installing the old version and see what happened/
The bluetooth icon is part of the HTC dialer software. Now that you are using a custom dialer, the bluetooth symbol will not show.

I'm not familiar with contact manager - did that also replace the dialer? I tried inesofts solution some time ago and had the same problem - hence the reason i know its the dialer. Uninstalling solved the problem.
Have you uninstalled it? if so, did the icon return? If not, are you now seeing the htc dialer or the wm6 dialer?

This is the only dialer that has removed the bluetooth icon completely....I've tried them all as the standard is pretty rubbish - dont know why it hasnt come back after uninstall?...
It didnt happen on any previouse versions that I used.
I quiet like the software and layout and functions so have re-installed it...Think I will have to live with it till a solution comes about.

installing phonEx did replace the dialer.

thanks for yr input.
You can try to use program such SKTools (Tune up!\Phone Edition\) to enable the OEM Dialer skin. The bluetooth icon should be back.
It's back
After uninstalling, I still had the standerd dialer - hence no BT icon. Somehow, after using the dialler a few times a message appears to uninstall the last part of Phonex - and then soft reset. And there the lovely blue icon appeared again, together with the HTC dialler. Although one could blame Iconsoft (and they have to solve it I guess in a new version), it is quite stupid of HTC to combine their dialer and the BT icon. And I can't think of a reason why. Anyhow, Phonex is great, I love the smooth scrolling and access. So I also can live with one icon less, although I would love to have this solved. So let's al inform Phonex about this issue (only on the HD?)

i have uninstall the phonex and the icon came back. Reinstall resco contacts, do not have the same issues.
Had informed Phonex of this issue yesterday, lets see if they have any solution
even wrote to HTC for a solution

V1.4 is out, give it a go. There were a few bugs in 1.3.5, for me the dialler interface kept going back to the standard one but so far with 1.4 its seems to have fixed it so it may have addressed your problem.
hello to everybody.
I am experiencing a big slowdown using htc dialer: sometimes it freezes, sometimes the buttons are not functioning even if I press them...and of course when I am phoning...for example I have troubles in pressing the keypad softkey to use the dialer...or to turn on the speaker...
I use the rom in my signature and S2u2 2.34.... no special registry tweaks or strange apps... if I hard reset it works for some hours and after that it starts freezing... I read somewhere it is a know bug of htc dialer... How can I replace it? maybe with another app? using ms dialer? and in this case, how to switch to microsofts' one smoothly?
thanks in advance
all the best
http://www.iconsoft.com/?language=en&menu=62e094db10fc83b1
thanks for the tip.
but does it overwrite completely htc software for calls?
I installed inesoft phone trial software just to check...
I have the same issues, so for sure it is a problem related to WM.
Both htc dialer software and inesoft for sure use the same layer....
ahhhh, wtf....
I'm about 99% sure it has to be something specific to what 3rd party software you've installed, because on the same ROM, I didn't experience this, but I did not use S2u2, so if I had to guess, this would be my first place to look. Have you tried uninstalling S2u2 2.34?
yes, I do mtty everytime I flash, and I flashed so many times I stopped counting.
if this is real (3rd party software in conflict) it's a big problem...
which one? I always installed more or less the same software and if I start to check it manually well, I need 1 week...
thanks for the reply anyway.
I am trying S2u2 now... I will post here news
it seems not to be s2u2 or the colored taskbar I use...
I will try hard reset and then one apps at a time... but when I'll have time.
for now, I can live with it...
I am using hard key for ending call... keypad sometimes works, sometimes not...
uff...
