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.

Updated: Combo HTC 3G Dialer and SmartDial (3 April 2009)

Have you been getting frustrated with some of the dialers that after you install, either the screen will look funny (see first picture) or smartdial menu is not appearing?
Well, after many testing, I have managed to find the solution to make it work. The skins I used for this 3G combo dialer comes from bluemetalaxe and sakajati. Special thanks to both of them for their skins.
I only have a Kaiser, so not too sure if it will work for other phones. Do let me know if it works for other phones. Note that the new skins is only for portrait, not landscape. For landscape, it is the default from HTC. Hopefully, I can get some skins for landscape to add into the cabs.
Enjoy:
Steps to make it work:
1. SR your device.
2. Use a registry editor to delete the following registry. Note that some of the registry keys cannot be deleted the first time round, so after you have finished the list, do a SR and repeat the deleting of registry keys.
3. Do another SR and install the smartdial cab. Next install the 3G dialer cab.
4. Copy the white background video buttons from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3486541&postcount=36) to \Windows. (New screen capture had been added).
5. SR and you should have a working 3G dialer.

great work, i've been searching for this for long timee.. thx dude

I Like you dialer
SmartDialer work fine
I didn't have 3g connection right now, so I don't know it's work or not.
I didn't edit any registry because it's say cannot access.
so, I try to install smartdialer first and then 3G dialer.
It's have a some error on installing 3G dialer. It's say you have to remove SmartDialer version first.
I accept and again error tell me that cannot remove SmartDialer version.
Anyway, after that error it can continue install 3G dialer and finish. SR again.
Now, It's work fine and look nice.
Thanks for your work.
My Phone is Dopod 810 or Trinity

I tryed it but video call dont work on my Trinity with French Rom (Netdrg 3.5L)
Apprearence is OK except in the "menu" which shows some trouble. I think it's due to smartdialling.dll.0409.mui and phcanrc.dll.0409.mui that are in english (0409) and not in French (040C).
Any Idea ?

Sorry, not too sure but if you think it is due to the two files, and if you have the right French files, pm me and let me know. I can change the two files for you and make a new cab.

Thank you for the proposal. I need first to find the 2 files.

Did you follow the steps I mentioned to delete those registries in between SR?
I've not experienced what you had mentioned. Tried on many Kaiser roms and works all the time without the problems you highlighted.

yes i did ... i actually did remove the entries from my rgus from rom kitchen and did then cook it in, but still the same issue
i guess it has something to do with that reg-key HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\PHONE\NikeOptionOnOff .. i did set this to 0 and the phone did actually not dial after softreset - but still "auto-dial" when switching on from standby

I installed Smartdial and 3G dialer and everything works perfect without any problems.
The only thing that changed and didn't wanted it to, is that the icons on the taskbar have changed, even the battery icon.

Looking for a new VGA dialing skin

I have found a lot of dialer skin out there to copy the Diamond dialer skin, some looks even better, but none directly for the diamond...
Any links for me ?

yeah.
one good link is the search text box
but here you are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429311

Well they do seem to be thin on the ground, I tried that one and it is buggy on the diamond, there is a familiar looking one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403766 but despite what it is, it uses about half the memory of the standard dialler, a lot more than the buggy one in the previous post's link. I am trying it at the moment because I just hate the wm6 dialler, that is one ugly dialler! Anyone got a nice looking small footprint one?
Edit just noticed that I have got slightly different connection icons in my top bar with this dialler.

i cannot see any difference between your dialer and the original diamond dialer.
or do i get s.th wrong?

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-idialer.html noticed this one earlier today, I haven't tried it out, not even sure it's not the same one mentioned earlier, as for the manilla dialer mentioned above, as I said already it does look rather familiar but apparently uses a lot less memory than the diamond standard htc dialer.

I hope im not hijacking but I figured it was directly related. Why should someone install the new one when they can't do it without running a shortcut?

How do I upgrade Opera? It's quite a few thousand builds newer than the one I'm running, but the installer says that the old version cannot be uninstalled. If I just continue with installation, there's bound to be issues.

Not necessarily. It is almost identical, files wise. It shouldn't be an issue to uninstall it if you have issues. You prolly have opera cooked in, so it will never be able to be uninstalled.

Thank you for the great sharing!
Im just wondering, is it possible to port the contact application, which integrates all your conversations (e.g. emal, sms, phone history) with a particular person

did any1 try Diamond2 Sensor with apps regedit ?
and what is supposed to do ?

can anyone ripp diamond2 start menu?

When I installed the keyboard the Compact Qwerty keyboard disappeard! But the full keyboard is defnitely better.. Any way to get the compact qwerty back..?

I already have. The only thing we are waiting for is the new manila from xboxmod. The contact editor is 90% tied into manila. So it is useless without it.

It is to auto-rotate without the need for third party apps. There is an app called G-Config that configures the sensor for apps that aren't already supported.

That is one of the drawbacks from some people. As far as I can see the compact qwerty went away with this new keyboard.

here are the icons. They are all contained in this dll. Manually insert them or link to the dll. BIG thanks to carburano for this.

if I use Diamond2 Sensor with apps regedit does not function well in the album photos horizontal photos will not change

Hope it works for you..let me know if u had any troubles with it.

Hello,
It does not work on my HTC Diamond 6.5 rom.
The dialer is smaller (about a quarter of the screen size) in top left corner.

I am currently using the Tachi dialer on my ROM, works like a charm.

Same for me, a great looking dialer but it is tiny on the top left of the screen. Has anyone ideas on what to tweak to make it work??

anybody can create win7/vista like dialer?
since tachi dialer eats to much ram and space and stock dialer is quite ugly!

Please please, can you tell me where you got this dialer? I would like to chat with author cause it is a cool dialer; the best but I cannot get it to work on my 6.5 diamond. Like someone else here it just sits to the top left of the screen and is very small.When it open it does show all th enumbers then quickly reverts to a blank dialer.

I think that might be because the dialer is for qvga device :-(

Yes I am trying to find a diferent dialer too. This new wm 6.5 is pretty lame cuz numbers are small...
