i posted this in the windows mobile 6 hermes thread but didn't get any response...a while back people where making crazy variations of the E-Ten dialer skins for WM5...i became a huge fan of the design because the buttons where nice and big and it was very simple...i was wondering if someone can help me convert some to WM6 or do it for US cuz i'm not good at any type of programing what so ever...if you dont remember the E-Ten Dialpad skins here is a link of someone who made a bunch for WM5 http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm just scroll down til you see "Skins for E-TEN Dialer" those are the ones i wanted to convert to WM6...is it possible...TIA...

Is it possible in WM5 ?
What do I do with the .psk file? (PhoneSkin file)
VGA phone skins
it is possible but I haven't found any VGA phone skins, only the different provider skins (t-mobile -> ugly, qtek ok).
I have seen some very good skins, even with photo, for wm2005 but only for qvga devices :-(
Has anyone else found some good VGA phoneskins?
There are not too many !
Check this one, IMO the nicest.

EDIT: or what do you think about the below one ? Standard on the QTEK ROM and Swisscom
how did you changed the background of the qtek skin?
can sum1 just post the cab files for the instalation of the skins from all the networks, now hopefully you will know that they mut include the video button, thanks, i just think it would be handy if sum1 did this
be careful, some ROMS have the video button hard coded so if you have TMobile ROM for example and you apply a skin youll get the buttons with pink corners and a pink video button. I tried it and ended up trashing the build and having to do a hard reset.
I would be glad to get rid of the gay pink branding....
has anyone found new VGA phoneskins for the universal? It seems that even at buzzdev nobody has made a real goodlooking VGA phoneskin
can someone please give me some links for Dialpad skins for universal
ps : dial pad skins for hermis and other wm5 do not work with universal.( o2 exec)
Here is (probably) the best one
Cheers

Paulya Phone Skins and HTC Universal
I have tried the skins from paulya.com on a Universal with ROM as below.
They do NOT work. I have attempted to modify the graphics of Pauly's very nice skins for my own use, this is possible and you can make the appearance on the screen appear normal at the corrected pixels per inch size, however, the underlying .dll that controls the layout of the touch screen that comes bundled does not ammend the touch responses correctly (as an example: in portrait mode the graphics for SPEED DIAL, HISTORY and TALK remain horiozontal above the number pad, whereas the .dll expects to find them in a vertical list to the right of the dialpad. If you have the time and the skills there are instructions on several forums (including this one) for editing the relevant dynamic link libraries.
The only skin I have found so far that works (as downloaded, out of the box, so to speak) on this device with its current ROM is O2's XDA Exec skin (or one made for it by a third party) which is attached to this post. This skin however consumes 2mb of storage for a minor change in appearance (transparent in place of solid graphics). I have deleted it.
Incidentally I have paulya's Vista phone skin on my HTC Himalaya. It is beautiful graphic work and makes the device very usable with one hand no pointer required. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
CORRECTION:
Further effort shows that the underlying .dll bundled with paulya's eten skins does amend the touchpad on the screen correctly. (i.e. you get the result you would expect by tapping on the screen, but the graphics will not display correctly even when they are resized to 192 pixels per inch. I would imagine there is only a small effort required to get from here to something that works but I do not know how to do that.

Hey i didnt get it right... the vista skin does it work on exec.... i suppose not.... please can u upload any working skin for exec.. i have been looking for the same for quite some time but the search is futile.... else upload the 2 mb skin u mentioned about... i m ready to sacrifice 2 mb for a good looking dial pad skin... thanx
PaulyA.com is no longer. For those of you who are still interested I have moved all my projects to JPL4Designs.com. The old site got robbed while I slept on it.. Mods, if you please update my links on the forums I would greatly appreciate it. Google is picking them off XDA-Dev and others rating the old site high. Thanks so much.

Welcome to the forum
If you do a read and search you'll find some nice dial pads for Uni
Good luck,
Torx's iphone theme is excellent on my Touch (Vogue) except for the dialer. I tried switching from Narg to the other iphone-ish dialpads but they all lock up my Touch when switching from Keypad to Status. I also tried Polen's Vista Dialer but it does not work correctly with your theme. The Stock dialpad is miscolored and the Back button is invisible...aaargh! THERE MUST BE A DIALER THAT WONT LOCK UP MY TOUCH!!!!
Torx has responded:
if someone can get me an official cab of a wm6 dialpad that works flawlessly as far as smartdial and all that jazz..
i can take it all apart and redesign the graphics myself and not have to worry about tinkering the real innards to get features working because thats well out of my scope.
problem is, there so many 3rd party dialers out there and i have no clue which generalized dialpad i can use to base the design off of.. get what im saying?
so it has to be a dialpad .cab that isnt the original wm6 dialpad, but one that EVERYONE can use no matter what phone or brand, cdma or gsm.. etc etc..
Torx has done a tremendous job, and please, Anyone help with this last piece!!
come on guys! someone has to have an official cab...please
most dialpads ive tried so far, the smartdialing doesnt work.

you might want to ask one of the cooks... they might be able to extract the dialpad out from a rom... i think dutty or alex in the kaiser forums might know how to do this. (not trying to call anyone out lol) i just think that it would be awesome if we could get a really cool dialer with all the functions... (including OPTIONAL video) and transparent buttons so that the background can be chosen by the user... its not impossible im sure
Like I said before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321605
The iphone version of DuronMarcel works (smartdial).
If it had the graphics of the other version (narg), it would be perfect.
(sorry my bad english)
can you place the cab for DuronMarcel's? does it work with the Vogue? i tried one before that locked up my Vogue...
I tried the duron marcel dial pad with BA. it doesnt work...
I don't think there is a dialpad can work perfectly with both GSM and CDMA without any loss of functionality.
Most "dialers" that work with cdma phones i have seen are really just skins rather than a true new dialer. Your best bet for creating a iPhone "dialer" for htc cdma phones would be a dialer skin with the format similar to this skin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315685
with the digits spanning the width of the screen and two additional digits on top of the right row.
Of course, I really hope I am wrong, because this arrangement doesn't allow much flexibility.
anyone, please post the official cab for Torx to work on....thanksa!

This dialer does not work on the Touch (Vogue) from what I have read.
Please let me know if anyone has info that it will work on the Touch (Vogue).
Hi, I'm desperately searching for the Black HTC 3G Video Dialer Pad.
I know that a few 6.1 Roms are using this Dialer, so can someone please post a cab File?
Don't know it you found what you are looking for yet, but here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365629
Nobody has replied probably because its easy to find and they want you to search for it next time.

These two skin are similar to the original one.
Are there any Kaiser/Diamond style skins which are applicable in wm6.1?
When I use the one which is for wm 6.0 in wm 6.1, the 2G dial key becomes dial record.
Any solution for this problem or any Kaiser/Diamond style skins which are applicable in wm6.1?
Thank YOU
thank you working fine on my MDA vario II
Just upgraded to Sprint 6.1 Rom on my vogue and lost my dialer, anyone know where I can find it (CAB) again? I really dont like the new one since there is no "talk" button. Any help would be great. Thanks.
id be willing to bet google knows where that dialer is
Been looking for awhile now, maybe Google doesnt like me.... Thanks though.
Use the ppcgeeks kitchen, make yourself your own rom, unlock your device, put the vogue dialer in that ROM, flash and feel accomplished
ppckitchen.org
I'm not sure what is the name of the dialer though but it's included in open touch v4 rom for xda herald:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377939
Frankly I really hated this dialer. The number buttons are small and very unresponsive. The color is not as pleasing. I recommend the iphone dialer of the newer minimal dialer.
that is actually the wm6 default dialer. I remember seeing a cab of it somewhere around here (for the wm5 folks)
This may be the cab you are looking for. From WM5.
I had to scout around and find it when i upgraded to WM6.
Cheers.
make the following edit in your registry and soft reset.
hklm\security\phone\skin\enabled = 0
thanks "black_mamba" @ ppcgeeks.
