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?

WORKS FLAWLESS!
Is the smart dialing still working with this skin? I just love that app...
They say not to install on Wizard...
You installed the ETEN dialer?
installed, changed the bitmap (inverted colors).
it works, but not intellidialer.
Then it`s a no go 4 me
procedure:
1) install E-TEN_M600_Dialer_Skin.cab on PPC
2) copy each Pcv*.bmp from Windows directory of PPC to your PC;
3) open each bmp file with MS Paint and invert colors (this is only for the aspect, not the functionality):
4) copy the bmp files back to PPC;
5) softreset.
*) the speed of the dialer is the same
*) I don't know a rollback operation different from harderesetting;
Can you give me the link for the CAB?
follow the link at the beginning of the thread.
Yes, ok thanks
It works perfectly....
I think that the only way to go back without an hard reset is to bring back the registry key pointing at the .dll
no Smart Dialing
How would i go about changing the the main colour. I did'nt really want a blue dialer.
cheers
these are the grafic file. do what you want to the colours but don't rename or change size or format.
originals before colours inverted if you're partial to orange
works on Dopod 838,
it's a beauty, very helpful when you use to dial with yr fingers instead of the stylus
THKS GUYS

Give it a try, you'll have to hard reset if it don't work as i don't know how to uninstall. but i was so fed up with the the standard small buttons on wm5 i just didn't care.
use this cab file to install cos it puts every thing where it should go and sorts out the registry setting.
http://buzzdev.net/components/com_simpleboard/uploaded/files/E-TEN_M600_Dialer_Skin.cab
Maybe if you backup the registry first and then if you don't like it just restore it back, may work as uninstall
Do you think this will work on qtek 9090?
thx
If anyone wants orange skin in italian...
I made these...
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, 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.

I just posted a blog entry about my experience with RealVGA and 320x320 mode on the Treo Pro. Check it out at: http://nebowiki.blogspot.com/2008/11/treo-pro-320x320-love.html
I am curious about the experience of others?
Screenshots? Anyone?
I will try and put some screenshots together tomorrow. I have been running RealVGA at 96dpi for nearly a month now and have *never* switched back to 128dpi since installing it. The only faults I notice are the lack of icons for SMS messages in the threaded view and the compacted battery icon - neither of which bother me significantly. frankly, I think the rom should run at this reolution as stock - and as soon as we can cook up a rom I will strip out of it all the 128dpi stuff!
John
I'm running it for weeks now, really like it. The fonts may be too small for some, but I certainly appreciate it.
A few weeks on RealVGA for me too. Never need to change from 96dpi back to 128dpi. In fact 96dpi full 320x320 allows me to easily run apps that have problem with 240x240 mode.
Real VGA here as well. The Best. I wont go back.
Could anyone post any piccys of their pros running the 96dpi?
Thanks
Some screenshots
Hi folks,
A couple of screenshots of 96dpi on a Treo Pro just to show you what it looks like. If anyone wants a particular view showing, just ask.
John
Thanks John
I guess i have to be a problem child. its not working so well for me. a lot of things are messed up, images, background, phone dialer, etc. not so great on my end.

Using 96dpi, it's needed to get Olivetree's Biblereader to display icons on the taskbars correctly, along with some of the fonts.
Also needed @ 96dpi for Mobile Shell 2.1 or 2.11 to use the Omnia or Experia themes (found in the square screen themes thread at ppcgeeks.com). They go offscreen otherwise.
Yes, fonts in some places begin to become uncomfortably small. But, in most instances, it's not a problem. However button placement display gets off center with comm manager, especially the data connection on/off setting.
You can of course slide the font size a notch up, that will make most text a bit larger while keeping the 320 resolution. Not perfect, but perhaps for some a better compromise?

I've been running the RealVGa at 96dpi for a week. I've noticed that the icon for the threaded sms is missing. I can only see a "x" at the icon location. Is anyone able to share some view how i can change the icon back to normal?
Also another thing that i notice for is the view of the dialer is a bit shorter than the screen. Therefore, you can see a line of the background when you on the dialer.
Another weird things that i notice when running RealVga is that, when u dialed an unknown number, after the call, a notice will pop up and ask you whether you want to save the no. You will NOT be able to save the no. from there. Have tried that many times and gave up
Have hard reset and use back the original config. Evertthing went back normal. But just TOO BIG. I just wish that the original config will come with an option for us to choose between 128 and 96 dpi. .... 96 dpi still the best view for my treo pro
I use RealVGA with lot of pleasure on my Treo Pro, here
For now, i would like only replace the icon in the threaded sms, like i did for the battery icon. Maybe in the windows folder ...

Can you change the start up screen showing the distorted and extremely big window mobile 6??? I notice that it's good with the original setting but was enlarged when using realvga. Any suggetiong how to change that?
I guess not but i'm not a specialist. All my tips came from xda

Works fine on my Pro, except it's very small & my eyes aren't that young, anymore. Because of that, I installed CMKeyboard & a couple of htctoucher's skins from right here on xda.
If you're having issues with RealVGA, are you using the latest version by Ebag333? It can be found here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=170002 on TreoCentral. If you're using an earlier version, change to 128dpi before doing anything else, so that you're at "normal" resolution. The newer version uses Mortscript & it's suggested to install after a hard reset.

I'll have to look at Resco Keyboard. I like other products by them (file manager & registry tool).
AFAIK, some of the versions between 2.1 & 2.14 are OK with 96dpi.
Does anyone know how i can remove the touch it blackstone dialer as it is a bit laggy for me? When i try windows tells me it cannot be completely removed.
AFAIK only hardreset will help. Did it twice, now I know how to re-setup my device in few moments. Also I keep all CABs I use on card.
One of the reasons I don't use TF3D anymore is it has tons (1600) files in windows folder which slows down a lot of things. I just don't this kind of mess on my device (WM alone are enough mess).

You are talking about different things here, the dialer does not mean TF3D.
I deinstalled the Blackstone Dialer via Activesync, but I never tried it from inside the phone so I can't tell if there were problems with deinstalling.
Just reinstall the original Xperia Dialpad (dialer)
The cab is here
cab provided deletes HTC's "incoming call" menu previously installed!
The cab installs the Xperia dialpad, that's true, but by completely removing the HTC GUI for incoming calls as well!
To accomplish this, I could also uninstall the HTC gui, I would not need your cab for that!
Is there any way to have both
1. the Xperia dialer
2. a graphical GUI for the incoming call (incl. photo etc.)
This seems surprisingly difficult!
There is an easy way...
... to have
1. a graphical incoming call window including caller photo id
2. the original dial/pin/... keypad of the Xperia
Just install S2U2 (slide2unlock) freeware, you can disable the locking feature and just use its caller id feature!
It works just well, and you can forget about all this additional HTCphone stuff (which of course you should uninstall this way...)!

Not true. S2U2 is even more laggy than the HTC slide to answer thing.
I suggest sticking to the Blackstone dialer, it's the fastest I ever used.
The dial/pin/keypad is only a skin, performance will not improve if you have the Xperia dialer with slide to answer.
Hello,
I installed Swype 2.0 for WVGA screens on my HD2
and also installed the 'Baly23 Swype HTC-Like Skin'
however I cannot seem to get the app to function,
frankly I don't even know what to do after installation.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
start a new message or note or something,I guess the normal keyboard shows up? press the arrow just to the right of the small keyboard icon bottom center below the keyboard, choose swype.now start using it.
I didn't install any skin, i'm just using the one that was posted yesterday from the tmobile hd2 and it works perfectly. is the skin that important to you? I would say just use it without the skin

I can't get the skin to work either lol, not that bothered though but I do agree that the latest build of Swype from the T-mobile ROM, works very well and it's clearly optimised for the HD2, unlike the one from the Omnia II.
I'd post a link but I fear Swype is going to be categorised as a 'Grey Area' just like Microsoft Voice Command.
ok i now realise hte mistake i was making lol, i was expecting it to be with the predictive text or abc functions on the left of the keyboard, the picture shows up however when i click the swype icon a error appears regarding a missing 'EnglishUS language' which i have no clue about, any ideas?
thanks
