Customize dialpad, remove Video Call button?

Is there a way to customize the layout of the TC dialpad? For example, I would like to remove the Video Call button and/or resize the number keys. Can this be done?

Yes it can be done. Have a look at bepes WM6.1 ROM thread. He uses a different dial pad than the original htc ROMs do. I just dont know how, all I know it can definitely be modified, changed and skinned.

Hello, I don't know how customize the dialpad, but I have installed one similar to that schaggo says.
I find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354380

Hello, with schaps advanced config you can change dialpad. Just disable the phone skin and after a soft reset you've got original wm6 dialskin.

...which does not support video calls.

Thanks for your answers, I'll check out the HTC Dialer.cab and Schaps advanced config.

Is there any full screen DIALPAD? maybe something without the 2 lines for the contacts but bigger buttons.
Thanks

I miss a very comfortable "silent" button available in all mobile phones which switches off the ringtone while sb is calling you. any idea how to create such an option with TC?
thanks

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

How to remove delay after call is over?

After i finish call i see about 3 sec delay, and i can't repeat call or any action.
How to remove it delay ??
(please if possible registry tweak)

You can change that setting in Advanced Configuration Tool. In the "Phone" settings, end call delay default is at 3000, hence the 3-second delay. You can lower than number in the settings. Works great.

doesn't work, but i enter 0 sec

Did you try 1 second? That's what I have it set to, and seems to be working well.

One thing to keep in mind is that when changing the setting, you can't just type in the number. If you do that the setting won't stick. Instead, you have to use the up/down arrows to set the value.

Did you reset the device? It works for me.

Works for me too ...set it to zero (by typing in 0) and soft reset ...no more delay ending calls (answers quicker too)
Am using R3AA

works really great! is there also maybe an option where you can get rid of that beep beep beep after a ended call?

Does anyone know the registry key for it?
Mine doesn't have the option in the advanced tab. Just 'Reject call with text messge' & 'Add new phone number to contacts at end of call'

its not in the advanced tab. you have to use Advanced configuration tool...

Hi,
I just installed Shaps Advanced Config Tool, but the mentioned option under Phone is not there. Is there another Advanced Config Tool I don't know about?
Thanks

Figured it out myself =) Used an old version (2.2) instead of the new 3.3.
nevermind =)

It should say "keypad", not keyboard, but you could have at least looked after he'd made the effort to help.

Go to Settings>Menu>All Settings>Personal>Phone and set the Keypad option to "None".

Settings link to standard Windows settings screen

When HTC Sense is enabled the "settings" link in the program screen is linked to the settings tab/pane in HTC Sense. When Sense is turned off in the Today-settings, the same link points to the standard setting screen of windows mobile.
What I want is to make the "settings" link in the program screen to point directly to the standard windows settings (used to be "control panel), or better yet: a standalone HTC settings app then can run outside the Sense environment.
Why? I want to turn of the settings tab in the HTC Sense interface. Something that easily can be done by editing the registry. This way I can manage to minimalize the amount of tabs to 5. Just enough to prevent the disorienting scrolling to the left and the right when selecting a tab.
Can it be done? Is there an easy way to open the windows settings screen while Sense is enabled?
Thanks

You should try BsB Tweaks, one of it's options does just that.

BsB Tweaks does much more than just this.....Just check out the page and you will find that BsB Tweaks is a MUST HAVE App
Besides lots of tweaks it also makes it easy for you to Add Rotation for programs that do not automatically rotate, and/or add Pinch-to-zoom for programs that by themselves do not support pinch-to-zoom.
If you don't want to install the app, you could ask makeveral how he does the settings Tweak (I wouldn't know).

Set this to zero:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo:HideSettings
and reset.
But there will be two identical icons for Settings after this. You can delete settings.lnk from the Start Menu to get rid of the HTC Settings.
