New great dialer

Here is some new dialer. I like it a lot. Especially in car.
http://www.mesoftware.co.nr
It's more comfortable than original one.
T9-like search of contacts from dialer itself. Dial any number from contacts with 4-5 finger taps max.
Quickly accessed picture dialing.
Changable skins.
Only things that lack are - quick access to call history and to new note.
But the developers promise to add soon.

Looks really nice. Good alternative to Finger Clix which I have already purchased.
Unfortunately, it can not map to the default green phone key - probably not possible at all unless you replace a system dll.
Regards
Michael

Excellent program JaToAc but it is a bit slow to load once you press the green phone key. I am missing something or is not possible that when you enter a number directly to be able click somewhere to store the number as a new contact. So far I have not been able to do this with any of the dialers I have tried. Any info would be appreciated.

you cant do it with both dialers (adding a number from the dialer)
but phoneplus is the best dialer there is today.
mobidial is too slow and not using quick search for contacts, which is really dumb cause it does the same thung the default does (so why buy).
i bought the phoneplus and really enjoying every second, plus the writers of the program are intending on improving it a lot.

Silly question but what is T9 dialling?? I have seen it mentioned lots of times here but I have no clue what it is.
Thanks

Dialing with your contacts woth the keys of a normal phone, so for the b you press the 2 and for the a you press the 2 again, for the r you press the 7 and for the t the 8. Then you can call Bart...

REQ: Dialer which I can use with Fingers?

I am looking for a Dialer for Windows Mobile 5 that lets me dial contacts without the use of a stylus or without having to use the pushbuttons - just the touchscreen.
Basically I am looking for something like this - but in either english or german.

Thanks will give it a try!

You should use Smart dialing.It's default in wizard.

What's the difference between Smart Dialer and the one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35326
I have a Wizard, but I dont know SmartDialing...screenshot anybody?

AFAIK smartdialing is just an add on to the original phone app that lists contacts that match the nubers you have diald already. It doesent make it any easier to acctually dial the numbers. I dont use smart dialer at all, it was just in my way most of the time. So last time I did a hard reset I then followed with a soft reset at the "your device will be customized in 3 seconds" screen and then installed all the CAB's I did want manually.
Later; Lew

I have tried almost all types of smartdialing from default one to third-party software and i strongly recommend you to use the followings:
- Imagine Finger Clix WM5 (English version)
- Inesoft Address Book
They are not free but the biggest advantages of these software are that they both allow seaching contacts with two clicks thanks to wise T9 system and they are super fast with beatiful skin
Give them a try and you would never disappoint, especially inesoft address book (don't forget to accept assigning inesoft to hot key when setup)

When you use smartdailing, just type in the name from the person you want to call and smartdailer looks it up in your contacts. This works like T9, for example push the numbers 665754 (or less when it allready in your screen) to call Molski. With this tool you don't have to know the whole phonenumber and you don't have to go to your contacts for calling.
I hope it is al little bit clear how Smartdailing works.....and I don't want working with out it any more!!

Possible to change the size of phone buttons ?

Hi,
The P3600 is a terrific device, even more since GPS is active. But, there is one minor annoyance with it : the phone app. Its keys are really too tiny to be used with a thumb.
I am wondering if there is a way to change the look of this phone app and make the keypad buttons larger. I've looked around Google and other sites for an answer to my question, but couldn't find anything. Maybe somebody here can help ?
Thanks a million in advance.

You can install a dialpad, at the upgrade and modifying section, search for smartdial + eten. It has some big and nice dialpads or just download it from here.
http://paulya.com/dialerskins.htm
Just install and restart.

Thanks a lot ! I found the topic you are reffering to, but there's no hint on where to get my hands on that famous dialpad. Maybe a little extra help, please ?
EDIT : Found it, OK -- forgot to mention

Another great way of making the pocket pc more usable with one hand! Thanks a lot for this advice, using it now and it works perfectly!!
I only wish there would be some similar type of large keypad for writing text messages as well, anyone has any clue? The one I´m using now (Phonepad) is not nearly as good and doesn´t have equally large keys, which would help.
Thanks!

For the large keyboard, there's SPB Full Screen Keyboard

Only twist is that is always displays in landscape... But very usable though.

you can also use SPB Full Screen Keyboard in Portriat mode... the only downside is that the keys are narrower to fit the screen. i use it in Portriat mode...

Vista Dialer Theme

I'm using the vista dialer theme from Paulya.com and ever since i upgraded to WM6 the redial function no longer works. It works when i uninstall the skin and use the old one but that one's butt ugly. I was wondering if anybody else is using this skin and knows how to correct this problem. It seems to me like its recognizing me hitting the talk key. The button even lights up when I hit it on the screen but I'm guessing it does not recognize the last number I've dialed as the one I'm trying to dial again. Any help at all would be awesome.

Got a screenshot with that?

You don't need a screenshot, take my advice it's a definite winner. Thanks Taurus, I appreciate it.

No problem. This is the dialer that was dumped from the new Touch. But since he asked, here's a screenshot...

Thank you!

Dialer on WM5
Does anyone know if this dialer works on WM5?
I had my Wizard on WM6 and was using this dialer, but I backed down to WM5 and like this one better...
Thanks.

Hi Taurus,
No Video Call support on this dialer?
Nonetheless, the dialer is fantastic.

[TIP] Move your keyboard to the bottom

Hello
I was making one application that would resemble more Android-like design: keyboard on the bottom, the main soft keys above it.
Well that is not possible to do both system-wide, but one half of that is. To move your keyboard to the total bottom of the screen, just edit registry:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip:
DefaultMenuBarHeight=dword:0
MenuBarHeight=dword:0
what happens after reboot is this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Advantages? Extra 64px (on WM6.5.3 and similar) of screen, no useless soft keys in these occasions.
Now, how do you hide the keyboard? Just, as on Android, press BACK key (on HD2 tested, TP2 and TD2 should work the same I suppose, but make backup first ).
Regards, OndraSter
Update: it seems that it doesn't work on all ROMs. I was using CRACIN's HD2 ROM, where it worked. I now flashed GTX Energy ROM and it doesn't work. Weird.

There is no DefaultMenuBarHeight in Sip there is only MenuBarHeight.
I'm using htc touch2. How can i do this? Thanks

This is dependant on the ROM and SIP itself. Try changing the MenuBarHeight itself if it isn't enough.
Btw, this won't work with any newer position fix - like ultrashot's uTask, since it tries to fix the keyboard too.

Heyi tried to change the MenuBarHeight and it was okey then but pressing back button make me go to the homescreen so it isn't for me. Thanks anyway dude great job.

Appearantly Touch 2 works different than Leo

You're right !
Having disabled Utask's position fix feature, I was able to move the SIP vertical position to anywhere I wanted !
The DefaultMenuBarHeight value can be manually added (I did), provided it has any actual effect.
Unfortunately, the Back button generally applies to the current app rather than to the keyboard, that sometimes even stays open (it actually depends on the app ! ), so it can't be used straight on.
But there are a lot of alternatives, such as remapping a hardware key with AEButton plus (now freeware), for instance.
This nice trick should probably be best used with a SIP featuring it's own closing button, such as FingerKeyboard (though it already has an option to overlap the softkeybar in landscape mode, and since it's fully customizable, you should be able to setup the vertical offset in portrait too, regardless of the actual registry values).
