Hello,
Using ThemegenCE, I made my own theme for my Hermes. It works fine, but the backgrounds of the phone-pad and of the comm mgr cannot be changed with it. Where are the .bmp files that hold these images?
And would replacing them be sufficiant?
Thanks!
Jörg
I found a thread in which was stated that the comm mgr is not skinned, but that the background is part of the .exe HTC used.
Is it the same for the phone pad?

Does anyone know how to change the horrible dialpad?
I tried to change the bitmaps buth they are write protected
Re
Yes, HTC's dialpad is horrible.
I see two options to change the stuff:
1. Try to reverse engineer format of HTC dialer and than overwrite existing bitmaps with new ones (overwriting instead of deleting should work).
2. Switch off this dialpad completely and fall back to default WM5 dialer.
To do this just use the registry tweak:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0 (DWORD decimal)
(to have it back put 1)
Two bad options
Hi,
i followed the changes from Mr Anderson
Two possibilities
1) Changes registry: I have an blue dialer skin (bad!), because i have an Herald in Black IPOHONE Design
2) I play an phone skin on the herald (Zombinexus) and then I have the white and black original from HTC (bad!)
No changes to get an black (only black) skin?
Thanks
Oliver
Use these skin
Made a black skin, copy files to windows folder. Include area for headset symbol.
All I did was create a new theme (so when you select it it dosn't force any of the installed dialers), then used the webpatrck dialer from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263579&page=29 (I am pretty sure you will be ok to use any of the dialpads in that thread).
Works a charm and i can still use smart dial.
It works! Thanks!
Thanks Pasa, it works.
Looks 1000% better than the HTC phone skin

WM5 dialpad
After complete disabling of HTC dialpad (which took, BTW, not only setting 0 at HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled, but also complete deletion of all subkeys at HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\ and at HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone Canvas) we have default WM5 dialer which can be skinned by any of "out-of-the-box" skins around.
All you need for that is just to replace *.gif and *.png according to list below:
backarrow_glyph.gif
clg_in.gif
clg_miss.gif
clg_out.gif
dlrbtn_dwn_land.gif
dlrbtn_dwn_port.gif
dlrbtn_up_land.gif

dlrbtntalk_up_land.gif

The skin idea is very simple - png-files are background images and all other files are single button images in different state. Much easier, then in Windows 2003 Phone Edition, where you need even to store icon of pressed button in separate dll-file.
To replace that files you'll need good PPC file manager, for. ex., Resco - both default Explorer and file access from PC do not allow to overwrite files in ROM.
The other corresponding task - replacing Intellidialer.
After a long process of making decision I picked up EzDial 2.1 - brilliant piece of software, 100 kb CAB file make it very easy to dial any number from your contact list. And it's also skinnable! (See screenshot).
Moreover, I made my own WM6 dialer skin - check screenshots and archive file.

OK, It looks I'm a little lamer here.
I downloaded this black skin and copied the bmp's into my Artemis' windows folder.How can I use it? Do I need some registry modification?
Copy...
Hey eref,
i hope i can give you an tip with my bad english.
Copy the _land and _Port files (not with the folder!!!!) in the windows folder. The herald asks you "Do you wish... change the rom" an you say "Yes"
I do it on this way, and it worked.
Hoped it helped!

Hi All,
Attached is the file of very nice dialpad, you all can try it!
Cheers!
Guys,
Problem 1: HTC Action & Resco Plug-in
I want to add the HTC Action icon to the Resco plug-in on my home screen. The problem is the attached file puts a default icon shortcut only in programs? Is there an update to the HTC Action cab that includes a proper icon? I am not sure who's this CAB is, but I tried version 1.0 from elsewhere and that one does not even give a shortcut in programs!
Problem 2: Comm Manager & Resco Plug-in
I want to add the Comm Manager icon to the Resco plug-in on my home screen. The problem is in the config for adding applications it does not list Comm Manager as presumably it only lists the files in programs. Is there a way we can add the shortcut to programs and hence I can add to the plug-in?
Many thanks
Hawk
bump up please
I used WinCe Cab Manager to edit a Blue Frog dialpad cab. I tried to replace the dialpad images with some of my own. When I run the cab on my device (sprint Mogul) I get a blank white dialpad. I'm confused cause every attribute is the same when comparing the two. Anyone know why this is not working, and/or how to fix it? When I use "file explorer" to manually replace the files in the "Phoneskins" folder, after a soft reset. The Dialpad is skinned. But I wanna be able to launch a cab and replace all the files in one swoop...
I've added registry additions in the cab to hide system numbers and text on buttons. They all seem to work.

The only way to get these working together and only safe way to enable either without compromising other menu options in TouchFlo is to restore your 26948339_manila file back to the default and manually edit the XML in this file.

It's probably because they have the same place in 26948339_manila, if you don't mind renaissance iphone icons you could try my icon theme (it's just a cab) here, tell me what you think if you decide to do so. It is on the raphael side of the forum but I don't think it matters

Pocketshield has the option to disable the HTC dialer and use the standard WM6 or its own custom dialer skin. If you chnaged this - did you re-enable the HTC dialer. When you press the call button - do you see the HTC dialer or WM6 dialer.
If you only have the WM6 dialer - this is the problem. Use HD Tweaks to change the dialer back to the HTC one or change the following with a reg editor
HKLM\security\phone\skin_enabled
change this key from 0 to 1.

Well, thanks guys.
After changing the registry key, my BT Icon appeared again!
So,
i found this thread, i have the same problem, but pocketshield installed.
The BT icon has reset itself to B&W again, and the graphic style is gone.
I have tried everything, but it won't return.
No, i do NOT want to allow any phone skin, so how can i bring the nice icon back?
is there a way to port the bt icon to another device? I would like to have the bt icon for my treo pro. it is running WM BT stack as well.
