Is there a basic large PHONE pad available ?

Just wondering if there is a very basic phone pad skin available for the M3100...
Just a single line for the number, maybe 2 if the number is too long so the digits don't get too small...
Large buttons for numbers, no video buttons etc just numbers, no need for the TALK/END sort of stuff as the hardware green/red buttons work fine..
Just looking for something that people with wide fingers can use without a stylus....
If there isn't one, what do I need to do to create one ??
Searched the forum but can't really find anything of use on the subject.
Many thanks Phil

I found that the vista theme on Paulya.com worked wonders for this:
http://www.paulya.com/etenskins.htm
http://www.paulya.com/Projects/Eten_Skins/Vista/Vista_Trans/Vista_Trans_Origin.zip
I am tempted to go back to this dialer as it was so good on my Wizard - just lacks a video button.

Hi, Thanks for that.... Managed to get the skin to work that is included with the eten dialer... I also downloaded the eten_ans etc .zip and put it in the windows dir on the phone after extracting it.. can't seem to find how to enable it (am I thick or something... Don't answer that !!)
The only thing I didn't do was use active sync... I copied the extracted file to my memory card then copied them over from that as the PC I'm at, at the moment doesn't run activesync 4 or higher (horrible win98 se machine..
Any comments much appreciated
Phil

I jast ran the cab file from my storage card and it installed perfectly. I did have diffulculty installing additional skins though.

Hi Phil,
There is a CAB on the FTP here which gives you the phonepad software EXACTLY like in older HTC phones: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/Phone Pad - English Only.CAB
I installed it and it's great!

Hi sorry to be thick
ok i downloaded the buzzdev.net qvga dialer
but how does one install it. Do i just run the cab via activesync or run it on the vario2 or what sorry about the stupid questions
also i download the splash screen stuff from there too how do i make that appear instead of the default tmobile one when starting up
thanks

Just stick it onto your device, tap it to load it, install and then when prompted reboot (just hit OK and it'll do it) - the PIN entry screen remains the same, but the main dialer screen changes.
It looks very nice, and I'd use it all the time - except there's no way to use the T9 dialing feature which the regular dialer offers (where you can just type the name of the person you wish to call and it shows all valid entries from the list, so e.g. if I wanted to call my Mum - whose entry is Mum, ironically - I'd type 6-8-6 and then hit Dial). It's quite sad to see that this feature is missing, probably for a good reason as it does cause a fair bit of slowdown on my phone - more than on my old Alpine! - but I still use it all the time and I'm going to have to uninstall the skin because I really neeeeeeeeed that feature. :/

ok if I wanted to get the original tmobile dialer back then all I would have to do is uninstall it then? cool
how would I install the splash screen then?

Vijay55,
I installed it OK, the large buttons are awesome, however I have had the following problems:
1) DTMF (Tones) don't work properley when accessing voice mail etc (UK T-mobile) or any other press x application
2) Jog Dialer not active
3) No Smart dialling
Am I doing anything wrong?
Have had to pull it off becasue of the DTMF problem, I've installed it, removed it, rebooted, changed the options etc, nothing seems to fix it.

Fixed it!!
Though I am now using the Eten dialler with smart dial support and one of Paulya's Dark Blue Glass skins.
Editing the registry and setting the value to 0, then soft reboot and dtmf tones are working.
Setting it to 0 wasn't the obvious choice, and previously I hadn't soft rebooted.
Found the following from dhushy in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700
Worked it out. For anyone with a similar problem, use the registry editor to locate the following key:
HKLM,"Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL","EnableDTMFSupport",0x0 0010001,1
Change the value from 1 to a 0 and Bob's yer Uncle (for non-British readers that means everything will be cushty - see Only Fools and Horses for a contextual translation)
Did this and I was able to manipulate my voicemail messages as normal.

Just tap and hold the icon you want to change. Then tap the "Change Icon" and choose the icon set from the upper left corner button. That's it.

This link is of no help!! It only explains the mechanics behind it and tell you basically what you should do. Now, I am far from being a dummy. But, I have questions. 1, what imaging program do I use to make the files? 2, How do I mask each icon? 3, How do I fit all the icons on one file? I think the imaging program would be a break through. For me anyways. And a couple hints. Anyone, please.?

I myself use Photoshop to port the icons. But, sorry, I'm not an expert, just know a little basic about the program.

Thanks for the second set of icons Cayotte, well done!

CallCapturer is an alternative to the WM callID screen, written in C# CF (so you'll need .NET CF 2.0 or above) for touch screen devices.
CallCapturer will start as silent, and will appear when you get a call!
History
0.06 Has caller picture functionality, and hopefull works better...
0.05 Actually works! (in theory at least)
0.04 No longer full screen - fixes an issue...
0.03 Change of call discovery method.
0.02 Release with nice UI
0.01 First release as beta
Planned updates
Video ringtones?
Caller picture
Thanks to MarcLandis!
Source Code available here
Use it as you see fit, so long as you put my name some where on your release!

Does not work on my HTC 6700, restarted PPC and your call screen shows, I hit the end button and it goes in the background. Call myself and the WM CallID shows not CallCaputre

Okay... I'll check that...

Try the updated version now.

The same for my Wizard
Shows while reseting, on top of screen for pin activation, to quit, only with red key, after that if I make a call the usual bubble shows

need some graphics?

Same after install, trying to SoftReset
After SoftReset, your call screen does not show up anymore - thats good
Incomming call - same

No... Although I'm working on adding that into FSD...

alright great.
'cause personally i think fsd is easier to skin that other dialers.

This is just the call capture part... I'm going to add it into FSD, but I need to make sure it works, and I want to do this as a standalone app as well...

im just this is lighter, better looking, easier to skin.
it would be better to put into roms

i don't know if you make a cab, the internet icon be good, but if try and make a cab post it here and i include in this post
enjoy'

Coppied over the files and can report all is well, as previously stated a slight glitch with the internet tab, but on the whole a big improvement. Now for a complete system wide green disposal cab.

I have made you a cab in return, hope it works.
Edit: soft reset required of course.
Later Edit: I have deleted the .cab here because it was of an older version and there is a .cab on the first post.

thank you for the cab, Uniqueboy !!
I hope we can change the internet globe and everything will be good !!!

Well I haven't tried, but it does show up in my list of programs when I go to settings/system/remove programs, so I assume it will uninstall correctly, soft reset after of course and the original files should resurface. It lists as "lexxirae Black Selection".
OK tried uninstalling, no problem at all worked great.

is there a way to get this to work with the comms manager as i have the MDA Compact IV T-Mobile pink selectors still...

Noticed under the E-mail tab that there's still an ugly green colored border around the small e-mail icon to the right (the icon where you choose account).
Just informing you ! Just like you I want to get rid of the green colors. Sadly enough I haven't got any USB cable by my side at the moment.
Clicking on the globe under the "Internet" tab makes the highlight become white (globe is totally hidden) on my device. Same for you?
Will try to tweak some with this tonight. Thanks for you work!

For those annoyed by the internet globe, you can use boinger66's no globe cab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406681&highlight=boinger+advanced
Additionally, people have managed to change it to red here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2587148&postcount=9
So you could modify those files...

thanks mastermnd for the links !!
you say right, it's more easy tu make his color with manilla editor and a software "photoshop like"

A replacement for HTCs ActionScreen.
Coded in Win32 C++ for speed.
Applications can be configured via the registry.
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\App_X
Path changes the path, Parm changes the parameters, and Text changes the text
Timeout (how long before the application minimizes) can be changed at:
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Timeout time is in milliseconds
The size of the text can be configured:
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\FontSize
Font colour
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Font Red/Green/Blue (0-255)
The text at the top of the page can be configured
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Text
If
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Exit
is 0, the app will minimize, if it's 1, the app will close after timeout or action.
Changelog:
0.03 now allows the application to close rather than staying resident in memory.
0.02 Adds configurable text, clicking on the top most bar minimizes the application.
0.01 Initial Release

reserved for updates

try this one,thx!

Update to 0.02, see first post for more...

looks cool and works well!

7 items, Why no 14?
Hi l3v5y,
It's a great tool but we already have an action 9. If you split the screen in two parts, you can put 14 items (maybe a new entry in regitry to change from 7 to 14) . Another idea is to create a new tab in manila. In any case this application looks fine and I'll test it. Thanks!!.

Currently, this is just a rewrite of the ActionScreen as it comes. I'll take suggestions on what to do, and having 14 items sounds interesting!
Also, for anyone with a blackstone, if you edit the skin file and add two more App_X keys which match those of the other keys, you can get 9 applications.

Nice! i tryed it but some things are not working.
When i click at the top it doesnt minimise, it gives an error saying that it couldnt open file "".
Also tryed to change the text at the top but it didnt change, new sms and new mms arent working (nothing is opened)
maybe the problem is that my rom language is not wwe?
the rest works good, thanks!

Hi l3v5y, as above, but not tried mms, i don't use it but nothing happens when I press new sms. I have a feeling you will fix it!

What version does it say in the bottom right? (yes, I kow it's ridiculously small, but any larger and it gets in the way) I may have uploaded the wrong cab!

Just one thing, once you open the program and lauch something it doesnt exit, it stays minimised.
Could you add a reg entry or change it so it closes instead of minimise and wasting ram?
thanks

This may seem like a very dumb question, but where exactly do I go to find the "action Screen" on my Diamond? I've had it for about 2 months now and I've never seen an action screen. Is it after market? I ask because i understood this to be a rewrite of a current default setting that comes preinstalled on the diamond... Maybe i'm just have the biggest brain fart ever.

Could be the fact that I wasn't hugely specific. This is a rewrite of something the Touch Dual had, not the Diamond.

When are you going to prepare a 14 buttons version?
Hi l3v5y,
Are you developing a 14 buttons version?. Thnks in advance.
