Best dial pad for your hermes (I or not)

Hi guys, just wondering which dial pads people are using/likeing.
I have downloaded several Iphone style ones, but to be honest im really thinking of going back to the standard one. I havent found one yet that has smartdial working, lets you video call, and the keypad work in a call.
Just wondering what other poeple are using (as most of the Iphone threads are getting very difficult to keep track of now, and I fancy something a bit different)
Cheers all

Surely someone must have a few to recomend?

Are you looking for something like this?

I disabled my smart dialer because I find it a pain in the neck.
Admittedly, it doesn't look quite as nice, but at least I don't have to sit there waiting for it to search through my contacts while I wait for the blasted thing to figure out what I *might* be typing in (and if I WAS after a contact, I would have used the contacts app anyway....)

I'm using the one from zombienexus that ericc191 suggested, and so far it's working perfectly. I believe it fits your criteria (unless smartdial is supposed to do some other funky stuff that I have no idea about).
The only thing is, though, it doesn't skin the speed dial and call history, so currently I'm stuck with the ugly blue buttons from the standard dialpad without any idea how to replace them.
Make sure you backup everything though.

i have a matter with this dial pad , not use for my PDA

I have never used this dial pad so I'm not exactly sure but.. I've learned that if you toy around with your phone enough, eventually you'll get it the way you want it.

Which one did you install? Mine is the exact one there. I think it's the black extra for 3g video.

Thanks guys

This dialer is amazing...does it have smartdialer with it or no?

And Which Wisbar Theme Are You Using With That Because I Couldnt Get The Font To Change To Cursive On Mine

This does not have smart dial. It uses the interface of the iphone dialpad. This lays on top of that. The iphone skin also causes lockup issues and does not play nice with s2u2 with caller id.

Ok, I have a Samsung i760 which is quite nice..I guess but I am wondering about making phonedialer skins for it???
I have tried the intellidialer and other skins on here but they need to be installed into the windows directory which causes problems. EZDial does not work either.
My question is....How can I change the phone dial skin without having to transfer all the icons to the \windows folder??? There is a folder called DialerSkin in my device which has several variations...(i.e. Red,Green, Blue, MITS, and default)
Also I want smartdial installed with the program because it is very useful with the i760 front keypad!!!

[SKN] VGA Skins for Standard WM Dialer (Black/Transparent/Sunset + MORE!)

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...

Noonski Diamondish Skin

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!

Caller photo size

Hi there, I have a "problem" with the photo that appears when someone is calling. To be more specific, the size is very small. Is there an app that makes it bigger, like iphone for example?

You can use S2U2 and enable S2A (slide to answer).
Then you get full-screen photo and you need to use a Iphone-like slider to answer. Bonus is you won't answer accidentally anymore.
Hope this helps.
Search to find the app (is in the general software section, I think)

You need to enable Caller ID to Full Screen to get S2U2 to work with the Caller ID It's working really well on the Diamond. Might have a slight increase in speed if you disable the Diamond Dialer. But that's personal of course..

Yes S2U2 is the solution to your problem. Very handy application.
For you guys that use S2U2 do you have the weather info on S2U2 screen?
It worked for me once but not anymore

it works! thank you for the help...

After a day of tests, I found that with S2U2 installed, when someone calls me I cannot hang up. By pressing the hard button (or even the soft button when enables) it only mutes. Any idea?

U can use Inesoft Address Book (not free) to get big Picture
and u get better contact with photo too..

Use Diamond Tweak to disable it. Just changehone Pad Style, from Diamond to Windows Mobile Standard.
One setting above this you can disable the Ring Time delay.

S2A 480x640 picture
it would be great if S2A can use pictures from its own folder, because the standard pictures are very poor quality, what i mean is if i can prepare jpg pictures in 480x640 resolution of people from phone book, name these pictures like contacts in phone book or numbers and S2A will use them instead standard ones. anyone know is it possible?

I've noticed too that s2u2 caller pics look kind of blurry. Is there any solution?

No, you're wrong.
This is a skin for the HTC dialer with Slide / Ignore feature.

Does this work for CDMA or GSM

does this work for touch diamond with wm dialer because i disabled the htc volume control and dialer to stop the 3sec ring delay.

very nice,thank you
