change color of touch keyboard? - Touch CDMA General

Is there any way to change the color, or skin the Touch Keyboard? I've applied a blue theme and was just curious.

I haven't done it myself but it looks to be pretty simple. All of the graphics for the keyboard (on the Sprint Touch at least) appear to be located in your \Windows folder. Pull them from your Touch and edit them on your desktop with whatever graphic editor you choose and then send the updated graphics back to Windows.
Just remember to keep a copy of the original graphics -- completely (pardon the pun) untouched so that if something goes wrong or you decide you don't like it you can easilty go back to original graphics.
You may need to use a file explorer like Resco or Total Commander to replace the keyboard images...I'm not sure. You'll also most likely need to soft-reset before the new color scheme appears.
I didn't do a search on the forums, but it's also quite possible someone wrote a small app to let you swap out keyboard graphics/layouts...look around and see what you find.
As I've been playing with my Touch for the past month or so I've decided I don't like the HTC keyboard(s). I'm a big fan of the Cootek TouchPal and PocketCM Keyboard (a simple search will pull several threads around here and a Google search on either term will probably bring up their websites as the first result).

WM5 Themes "Origami Suite" (ROM 2.17 or higher)

Have you ever taken a look at the gallery section over on www.origamiproject.com ? It's filled with a bunch of pretty nice-looking wallpapers for UMPCs, but UMPCs aren't available until much later, rendering these small wallpapers useless... until now. I've picked ten different images from that gallery and customized themes for each of them (creating eleven themes total). I also enhanced the themes to fit in with a somewhat universal layout for the today screen.
Keep in mind that these themes are designed for Wizard users with the latest Qtek ROM (2.17 or higher) installed! The reason I say this is because the date on the today screen takes up two lines in the newer ROM, and the today screen background reflects the position of the date bar. If you're confused, take a look at the previews below, you'll see what I mean.
Anyway, as I was saying before, each theme has carefully selected colors to best match their backgrounds, and all of them work in both portrait and landscape mode. I tried my hardest to smooth out the gradients that sometimes give problems on PPC screens. Oh, and I also thought of a cheezy name for each one. :wink: The previews along with a ZIP of all the themes are attached to this post, so go crazy. And if you haven't updated to the latest ROM yet, shame on you. Go do it, you won't regret it.
P.S. - If anybody knows how to skin the Phone screen (where you dial the number and everything), PLEASE let me know. It really, really clashes with a lot of these themes...
AND... if anybody knows how to make the date take up only one line, move the clock to the top, and put the battery back at the bottom, that would be amazing. That way I could re-make all these themes so that they could work with EVERYBODY that has a WM5 device!
very nice. just applied the first theme on my exec :lol:
Great job with the themes! I hope you are able to find out about skinning the phone screen and reducing the Date Bar to one line.
Beautiful yanathin! Thanks for putting the effort into these great themes.
very clean look you have going on there.
Are those icons along the bottom just regular shortcuts? If so I'm gonna have to look into how to do that myself.
great work!
Thanks for the compliments everybody! Yes, the bottom basically acts like SBSH iLauncher or SPB Pocket Plus's launcher. It's a single part of the PHM PowerToys ( http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/PowerToys/ ) called "TrayLaunch." You'd be utterly amazed at how fast this device runs WITHOUT SPB Pocket Plus installed, even without a "real" close button.
Amazing themes and even better work yanathin!!
Yes great work !
Thanks
Really nice ones, allready installed, thx !
change background dialpad
I haven't found a way to change the keys of the dialpad yet but i have a simple way to change the background of your dialpad in combination with plain darkgrey keys:
Download the attached file and run it on your mobile to get the darkgrey "keys" from Vodafone, these keys match best with whatever background you want to use:
(file is also at: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Misc/Vodafone_dialpad.zip)
Next you create in MS Paint / Photoshop or whatever program you like, two BMP image files with the following properties, you can use any file as background.
- name: "Bkgnd_Port.bmp" / resolution: 240x268 pixels (portrait)
- name: "Bkgnd_Land.bmp" / resolution: 320x188 pixels (landscape)
Copy these files to the \windows folder on your mobile and overwrite the existing vodafone skin.
After a soft-reset your dialpad has changed!
I changed mine to plain gray:
I love those themes!
for dialpad skins, take a look at http://www.zombienexus.net/
thanks for sharing. here's a link to some of my simple themes.

As far as i know it's a cab from German Vodafone. It works perfectly with my Dutch NL ROM, therefor i think it should also work with a WWE ROM because it just gets the language of the ROM-version.

Manual Dialer Skin Install

Im just curious, but how do you manually install a dialer skin? I have found alot of dialer skins for the mogul that are really cool, but they are not in .Cab format. I'm not exactly sure how to manually install one. Could someone please give me some info. Thanks a ton in advance.

what i do is install the big button dialer for the mogul and then the touch dialer skin cab on to the main memory to skin my phone with the default skin.
From there in the root there is a folder that says Phone Skin.
Now from here I can either photoshop the skin available or replace it with others that I find else where.
So once I install this big button dialer, there shoudl be a folder in the root directory that I can install the other skins?

If you install the big button dialer cab for the mogul. It will replace the dialer skins that are on the phone already but it wont have the Vouge buttons.
If you want to still use the Vogue type of buttons install the Touch skin cab to go with it and once you do this will place a folder in the root : not \Windows, where you can customize, delete and replace for others that you might like. I found out by experimenting and it worked for me.
I will hunt these two skins down, and start experimenting myself.

If you want i can send you the Big Button Dialer CAB, and the Touch Skin CAB that way you can start skinning from here.
Just PM and i'll send it to you or I'll upload it later because I dont have it with me at the moment (School)
Her is the Big Button Dialer cab along with the Touch Skin Cab for those that need it.
Install the Big Button Dialer cab first then the Touch. After your done soft reset your phone. This should work on all TITAN phones. It says mogul but it works on my XV6800.
Skin problems...
Okay, I've installed the Big Button thing, and then the touch skin, but when I restarted, all of the buttons are fine, except for the 1 button, which appears as the native Mogul dialer button for 1, which looks distinctly out of place. Functions fine, just looks ugly, any fix for this?

Erm, sorry, not quite advanced enough to grasp that. Is that a folder\file thing or a registry thing, if it's a registry thing, where do I edit the phone's registry?
Edit: Nevermind, remembered that HKCU is a registry path, the rest is now obvious, just need to find a registry editor.
Edit 2: Found a registry editor, problem now occurs that "Access is denied" when I try and edit that particular registry entry.

Hey can you post some of these?
"Now from here I can either photoshop the skin available or replace it with others that I find else where."
or explain a little bit how to photoshop them? I am familiar with photoshop so I dont need a walk thru, but there are 26 graphic files in the PhoneSkin directory. Which to edit?
Also, I followed these instructions and your downloads, but when I push a button, the whole button turns white. really all I am looking to do is have it turn the matching blue when I press a key (the same blue that's in the dialer window by default)
thanks.

sorry for not being clear on my post. there is a program called tdial designer by tiermann ( search for it) and this will help you creat your own skinable dialer.
this will even fix the issue when you press a button and have receive a white button display. just chose your dialer carefully. i recommend the bluefrog aka new vouge dialer.
the regurlar vouge dialer will impair some functions on your phone. once you create the skin, it will generate the picture files and a cab for you to install.
the reason why i mentioned photoshop is that i add more details onto my dialer skins and modify them more ' to look unique ' or to stand out.
hope this is what you needed.
Oh no need to apologize, your posts are great.
I do have the Tdial Designer v1.1.0
I have the BlueFrog Big Button Dialer installed
I open the Tdial Designer (TDD) and from the Options > Dialer I choose "BlueFrog (or new Touch)". Everything looks great until I click on w=one of the buttons, then the same issue arises, it just whites out the whole key. The options below the "Down:" options are no longer available. If I switch back to Options > Dialer I choose "HTC Vouge (or old Touch)", then the "Down:" options are available. I hope this makes sense.
I did try to save a few that I was testing. Looks like it outputs the files and a cab file. Am I better off just copying the files into the PhoneSkin directory or running the actual cab?
Thanks again for the help
best regeditor in my op!
http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/
but its editing through the PC and not the PPC so you cannot do on the fly editing... but I love the full 22" screen editing of my Mogul's registry

I recommend using the CAB. Because the image files only displays the dialer in standalone more ( not in use ) but the CAB once designed properly will show a customized dialer that includes the smart dialer color customization, and even the buttons when they are pressed.
I will load up a picture of how one of my alien-reanimation themed dialer looks, along with the cab if you want to install it.
thanks for sending that it is very cool. The issue I am having now is that when I install the cab it is not over riding the default one. do I need to uninstall the blue frog dialer? when I install your cab, the default dialer comes up and not yours. I look in the remove applications and what I believe is yours is listed as MyPhoneSkin. I just cant seem to get the new themes, yours or mine to apply to the phone.

No worries. I just need some information from you first.
Do you have a stock ROM on your phone or a Custom one (for example a DCD ROM)
(uninstall all previous custom dialers you have installed; Then )
If you have a DCD ROM then all you would have to do is install my cab or yours and soft reset ( reboot ) and the new dialer should show up now.
If you have a stock ROM you would first have to install the Mogul Big Button Dialer CAB ( dont worry it a universal CAB for all 6800's ) that I will provide -- Soft reset and see if you notice a new dialer ( you might get a dialer with no dial pad, this is normal) from here install your own custom CAB that you have made or mine and soft reset to notice the change.
hey cool deal, OK I got it working. I have dcd 2.3.2 rom. I reinstalled the mogul dialer, then yours and it worked. However, when I push the buttons, the blue highlight comes on, but it is the whole key, I cannot see the number below it. Which I guess isn't an issue cause you cant see it when my finger is pushing it anyway! but I wanna make sure that this is acting properly. thanks again

[9-25-2008] 3D Button Dialer skin with cab (New Versions)

I got tired of the three step process to install the dialer, SmartDial and graphics everytime I flashed or did a hard reset. So, I made my own .cab installer file.
I combined DxC's excellent minimal dialer (3b), the new SmartDial version of EtPhone.dll with my own graphics and replaced the contents of DxC's .cab file. I edited the EtPhone.dll file to hide the little black rectangle that is left over from the elapst time display. I also edited the layout for the button sizes to better fit the graphics on the "Call Status" page.
I don't really use the landscape version, so I didn't make any changes there. I'm not really sure who the credit for those graphics should go too.
The results are a one step install Dialer with SmartDial, redial and (I think) pretty good graphics.
I hope you enjoy it.
8-3-2008 - I created a white set of files. The graphics line up pretty well but with an all white background the text at the top of the screen doesn't display. It may work off of the system fonts associated with your theme. If so, your in business... Let me know if the skin works with your white theme and I'll finish the process by creating a cab file.
Still no Landscape. and I can't edit the EtPhone.dll sufficently to get rid of the rectangle, or add extra smart dial lines.
8-6-2008 - I think I did it. I got rid of the rectangle. Actually I moved it to the upper left corner on the same line as the dialed phone numbers. I got to looking at the original EtPhone.dll file (Pauly-A E Ten) I realized that DcX actually moved the buttons around to get the wonderful layout we now have. Someone else moved around the layout to make the Smartdial visible (I don't know who) So I figured, instead of hiding it why not just move it...
... so now it is nearly perfect. (the black one, to me) I still can't seem to figure out how to reverse the text color for the white version. I will keep hacking at it. I won't be making any other layout versions, I'm pretty happy with the layout as it is. I may create some new graphics for this layout. Sorry, I can't please everyone. So I please myself and bring along as many as I can with me.
The .cab file below is the newest version with the rectangle fix.
9-11-2008 - I got to tinkering around again. I moved and resized some buttons on the dialer screen. I enlarged the SmartDialer and enabled the BT headset icon. I also cleaned up the graphics. I only changed the main dialer screen. There are black and white versions. I have only tested on the Wizard. Enjoy...
9-25-2008 - Couple of little edits to show the status icons for headset and location. Okay so I also removed the white line down the left side of the Call Status screen on the black version.
THE IMPORTANT ?
Does it have redial functionality

Why yes, yes it does...
That is the SmartDial version. Sorry, I should have stated that.
Requests...
Perchance, make the keypad buttons just a bit smaller so that more of the SmartDial list shows (rather than just the one line)...
...and skin the landscape display?
Nice job overall, like the SmartDial addon.

Very nice dialer but u didnt solve the rectangle problem hiding the middle of the smartdial. I installed, soft-reset, press green call button to display this nice dialer, then slide out keyboard to see default landscape dialer with no smartdial, then closed hardware keyboard putting the screen back to portrait and low and behold, black rectangle box in the middle of smart dial. Awesome dialer if u can really fix the box problem as well as work on the landscape skin. Good Luck!
Love the dailpad...can we change the background to all black?
thanks
nice job...thanks
can we have a white version (easy to see in sun light)
landscape would make it complete
thanks
Mr. Incredible,
This is a perfect & sharp graphical one, thanks for the effort.
Can I have the same with white background please.
Thanks again.
another observation... I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, been so long since I've used a smartdialer, but the 1 acts as a wildcard for contact names... again, can't remember if that is an original function of it, or what.
perfect,
i also prefer totally black for better reading...
i don't know if this is possible, but to see 2-3 smartdial lines it would be nice.
but i don't know if this is easy to change ?

Any way to use this with HTCTouch's WM7 dial skin? I so miss having that smartdial feature! Now everytime I have to call the last person, i have to either dial number or go to PocketCM. That is no fun!

I don't really like sunlight. I try to avoid it at all cost. I may be able to replace the EtPhone.dll in DxC's minimal dialer for you. It's white. (mostly)
Also, the all black background isn't possible. I started with a all black background and the 3D effect I applied added a little bit of "off-black" to achieve the effect. I too would like a more black version but the trade off is not as realistic.
Nice job on the dialer. Big buttons and black are perfect for me.

New Landscape Today Screen

Hi,
I have posted this in the General Kaiser section but I guess it has been totally disregarded.
I know that there is an issue with landscape using programs such as Manilla2D. Instead of trying to reprogram and re-icon everything on there, I purpose we do this.
We know that on the Tilt, when you slide out the keyboard, a "program/registry" on there invokes a file to play a sound. Why don't someone write a small program where, instead of invoking a .wav file, when you slide open the keyboard, you start SecondToday? So when you open, SecondToday kicks in and shows you a homescreen that you can customize, and when you slide keyboard back in, it opens SecondToday again so that Manilla2D is show in portrait?
Any thoughts?

Its a smart idea, but I'm pretty sure that'll just slow the device down beyond anything and before you know it- you'd regret opening the phone
What's supposed to happen if your trying to type a text message?
If this is the case, everytime you open the keyboard, the new home screen will appear.
I rather have a functioning homescreen then a half cropped one. I would do it but I have no idea how to go about it. As it stands now, there is no solution to Manilla2D or any other today screen except a long time reworking the coding.
Someone who can write this little program can always have an option to not display SecondToday unless you are in the Today screen.
Anyways, i have tried installing Secondtoday, copied the file into \Windows and changed the sliding sound from 0.wav to SecondToday.exe and it did not work.

I know, but the sliding event is set to play a sound file, not run an executible file.
as for the memory, I am running both Manilla2d and weatherpanel with the looping animated icons via secondtoday. It takes a little longer to load from a reset/first boot, but after that I switch between both today screens nearly instantaneously. I actually think you're on to something here. Dunno about other devices, but for us Kaiser owners, this could be something to look into - even if it turns out to be little more than proof of concept.
Wouldn't that effectively mean you have loaded all the plugins twice in the memory. Seems like a good concept, but the useable practicality of it is outweighed by the mem hogging / slowness it would produce imho.
Just look at this guys.
Touch Dual have this 'option'. when you slide out the keyboard it runs the HTC acton screen. nearly same thing does Raphael. So i think its just a matter of good registry tweaking here. Or maybe doing a small program for that. Just an idea.
You could look up the TouchDual.
Cheers,
Chris
ThrottleLauncher can do it.
Load the current ThrottleLauncher TF3D today screen. It has a completely different landscape setup (lots of create new email type buttons). Once you've established what your after, you can edit the XML files to create your own Today screens

Manilla2D was given as an exemplar of what one might do with a landscape today screen. The question was not limitted to this package. ThrottleLauncher is a perfect solution.
wouldn't any of this cause the screen orientation to take longer to switch?
Finally!
I am glad that some of you are thinking this is an great idea!
I hope it'll be pretty easy to come up with something like SecondToday. I don't mind it being slow but sitting at my computer looking at a messed up today erks me lol.

Looking for BEST BLACK KEYBOARD!! - SOLVED AND FOUND BETTER!!!!

Looking for the black keyboard in yota contacts to be used as all keyboards. Essentially i want Diamond original to be black
****************************
Allright LADIES and GENTS, Found THE nicest KEYBOARD in BLACK!
Step 1: Unzip File and copy the unzipped folder directly under PROGRAM FILES on you DEVICE (not INTERNAL)
Step 2: Run fingerkey_register file and select yes!
Step 3: Reboot Phone, and under SETTING, KEYBOARD select Finger Keyboard for Default keyboard
** If you dont like the PGDN buttons on the bottom, no fear
Rename SKIN file in SKINS DIR to SKIN3 and rename the rename SKIN1 to SKIN.
The page down buttons will now appear on the 123 page.
PS Found that on Touch HD ported roms, everytime you reboot phone it defaults to TOUCH KB, so just hit keyboard button at bottom and select finger. If anyone can fix this that would be great!
TO REMOVE - Unregistered it, then soft reset. Now go and delete the entire FingerKeyb folder. That should remove it all.
If the yota keyboard could be used as the normal keyboard is would be awesome!
IT CAAAAAAAANT!!!
does the yota phone use the normal diamond type keyboard for the rest of windows?
I inverted colours in some keyboard files now, I'll post them in few days, when I edit all of them.
That looks amazing keemot, im looking forward to it

wow nice think you can make the phone keypad like this too or u doing all the diamond keyboards thanx again for sharing
Hey.
does it exist anything able to make the keyboards on Diamond ROM 203 swe to become black? i've tried alot of things and it always ends with a Hardware reset.
would have been nice with a black skin for the Dial app too. now i'm using assets_black dial, but i need to copy the file after each soft reset.
finally,
I'm deeply impressed by all the hard work you guys have done, to develop some amazing apps/skins for the Diamond.

Dude! Could you possible invert the whole Touch Diamond small keyboard and upload the files!
i found this cab at ppcgeeks install it and go to programs and run it set this new keyboard as the default and set the delay to 30 it is the only way i can get it to work hit ok and soft reset your phone and when it starts the phone will default to this new keyboard!!!!!!! NOT the small touch keyboard
Dude is awesome. Congratulation and please keep it alive.You are the man!!!!
