Changing the DEFAULT dialer and more?

Hi
Actually, this is for 3 questions:
I've read some topics regarding how to change the default dialer, but...
1) How do I restore the default WM5 dialer if I dont like it?
2)How can I insert the contact's photo into the redsquared area (it's just to show where, thx photoshop)
3) How can I have the same black snakeskin texture for my DEFAULT contacts list?
thx

BUT, it's tiiiiny, sheesh. How does one enlarge that pic to about the size of the red square?

Caller picture from S2U without S2U ?

Hello,
I've tried the search function, but either I do not see it or there is nothing.
I installed the S2U software and I really like it, but I don't really need it. The only thing I really want to keep is the big caller picture from S2U.
Because I have a lot of other SW installed on my Wizard I would like to remove all unused programs from memory, which means also S2U.
Is there a way to keep the really nice caller picture or is there any other SW out there (Freeware?) which can do the same withour the "big" memory footprint of S2U?
Thanks for your help
Huibuh_1

Nope....
the callerid portion is intergrated into s2u2.
And honestly, the memory footprint is not that big for what it does. If you use a large animated .gif for your background, the footprint will get bigger, but a small .jpg is nothing in terms of footprint size.

How can you not want to lock your phone from those unwanted accidental calls!?

@lawmangrant:
Thanks for your answer. I was just trying to delete whatever application I do not really need.

It's easy: I switch off my phone (only with the short press of the Power-button) and the only button to wake my phone is the Power-button. I never had any troubles with unwanted calls or something like this. And S2U is at the moment just another (additional) step to get to my today-Screen. That's why I disabled it.

read the instructions that comes with S2U - there is a way to disable the lock function and only use the callerID.

I have read the instructions and disabled the lock-function (see my reply above). My idea was to delete the unwanted part of the SW to have more memory available.
But thanks anyhow

The goal is : To change WM within it's proper programs!!!
I changed the look of my SMS's in the file read_style.css for example, so there must be a way to change the size of the photo in the original caller ID.

You need a background picture that you like.
With a text editor you can change place, hight, etc in the .css file

Full Screen Caller ID

Anyoner know of a program for Full Screen Caller ID?
I have used S2U2 and Photo Contact Pro, but the only reason I use them is for the caller ID. I would rather have a program just for a caller ID rather than install extra stuff I don't want.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
loki

Try the OPAL phones canvas which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430354 or with different color skins here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430768&highlight=phone+canvas

If you just want a full screen caller id, I'd recommend S2U2, which offers a real full screen caller id, with the option of "slide to answer".
Of course it comes with other functions as well, such as lock your device and volume control, but you can disable all those from the S2U2settings program.

Sorry I missed the part that you don't want to use s2u2.

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?

Use Slide to View (S2V) to set as outlook contact picture.
You can download from A_C site (http://www.ac-s2.com/)

how to disable the auto dailing when touching the contacts in the dail pad?

how to disable the auto dailing when touching the contact in the dail pad? Is it possible to display the contact details like I-phone does? When using the prevous Diamond's netvigation pad, it is possible to open the contact details. But how can it works for HD with no direction pad? Please help, very inconvenient when choosing the contact with multiple phone number. HELP!!!

THAT is something that also really annoys me.
i would love an option to turn that off!

I am using Pocket CM and it doesn't has that problem.
1 click on the contact to show detail and another click to choose which number you want to dial.

does it replace the standard phonepad app?
what we mean is when you press the dial button - then the dialpad and the call history appears.
clicking on a contact in the list leads to dialing the number.
in the normal wm contact app the klick leads to the contact like we know and want it.

I completly agree, I have been seaching for a solution..

didnt find a registry key that could solve that

this would be a nice feature to find

actually you have to slide the contact name to choose the phone number you dial, or the action you launch.
i agree this is the most annoying thinh in hd

I think you are talking about the Phone interface (Refer to User Manual P.50 Using Phone Features), when you short-list the contact you would like to select, on Point 4 of the Manual, it instructs you to
To call a different phone number
associated with the contact, select
the contact, then tap Menu >
Open Contact.
Instead, you can just simple "tap" on the right hand of the contact, it will pop up the contact detail, then you can select (tab on the associated number) to dail
Hope this can help.

One way that I have tried is to change the phone dial skin to standard windows mobile. If you install the htc tweak written about in this forum you can easily change phone skins. The standard phone skin does not dial the phone when you tap the contact but gives you a list of phones for that contact. It does mean however that you will have another look for your phone dial.

I'm fine w/ just sliding, thanks a lot! Dunno why I didn't think of it lol...

This is also something that bugs me but not only that.
I drive to work by bycicle. When I do, I have my HD in my pocket, playing radio.
The HTC headset has 2 buttons embedded of which 1 auto dials the last number when pressed. Unfortunatly when your wearing a headset, have a laptop bag around your shoulder and during these Winter times are wearing sturdy coat, the button gets pushed accidentaly all the time.
Disabling that function would be brilliant too.

All I know is that I found it as an option in the HD Tweak under the heading 1.8 Phone Pad Style. There are two options HD (Default) and Windows Mobile Standard.

Right thanks. I was merely referring to your use of PocketCM. Obviously some things are tiny using the standard included theme.
So my question was, aside from any dialing issues, I just wanted to ask real quick where you got a WVGA theme if you did (anyone know of one?)
Thanks.

i finally switched to the classic windows mobile phonepad. since i dont videocall anybody that is ok for me.
unfortunately the list doesnt support sliding with the finger for browsing the entries. and the entries are a bit small

if you just slide your finger across a certain contact, it will not call directly that contact, but change the phone number selected, if more numbers available, or switch to send text message etc.
I also discovederd that by accident, but its working and enough to solve this most annoying problem.

it seems there is no solution to solve it. Anybody have further suggestion. Please help for the frequent user of the smart dailing. Or if we could change the registry of the phone. Help!
