For those that don't like cooking in the Heavier Diamond Dialer with Video Calling.
Because all that extra fluf isn't needed.
Here's the first version of the Official Windows Mobile Dialer with a Diamondish Sauce.
Easy skin but still needs a few Touch Ups.
Who knows someone Will make a few new skins for the default WM dialer.
When i have finished of the small details in the skin (Quickdial, red button, and White line in the top of the background).
I will post a cab that will disabled the default Diamond dialer (freeing up a few MB of memory).
How to use for now.
Cook or..... Copy over the Graphics to Windows folder using Good File browser on Mobile like Total Commander. Then using Advanced Config change to default WM dialer and reboot.
Take a note of Memory usage before and after change to convince yourself.
Update: Fixed last Details in Skin.
Update: Added the Cab file and i can say you can gain at least 3 MB of extra memory. (not the most correct count as i'm taking out the HTC Diamond dialer completely)
Update: Dutch Sephiroth has made a WVGA skin working on the Touch HD.
It can be found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3934313&postcount=14

Very simple Skin using Diamond Log in Dialer colours and buttons, but a little more lightweight even compared to official WM dialer.
Stil need to kill a few pixels in green call button and the Pin input right side background needs to be darker.
The cab doesn't add anything extra that isn't already in the default dialer.
But it just disables the HTC one from starting up.
I made this Dialer for myself as i like lightweight clean roms, and figured there might be others that hold that idea to.
The choice for me is simple, why waste memory on a fancy dialer that does the same thing as the normal on,... call people. I'm so used to WM that all the new extra added pop ups and big buttons don't necessarily feel as improvements. Waste of Space and Memory, so it's a personal opinion for me. So maybe when Videocalling is actually used on a broad scale by my friends and family i won't need it.
And it's a very easy dialer to skin.
Hi Noonski,
First of all can you post some screenshots please.
2ndly is this gonna solve the ringer delay problem? as I am not using anymore of the default dialer because of the ringer delay problem as I don't want to loose 3-4 rings before I get notified, but on the other side I want to keep a Fancy & Decent looking dialer as well, do you think your dialer will fix this issue? I had to also uninstall the HTC volume control to contoll the dialer volume with another VGA dialer.
Please advice
Regards
Sid

i bet winmo default dialer will not have ring delay prob if u don't have it with HTC dialer
and yeah, a screenshot would be nice
a little screenshot would be great. i like the idea.
Added screenshots.
Anyone that wants to add their versions of the Default VGA WM dialer Be My Guest. My prediction is that more power users will switch over if there where more.
Great Skin!!
Does the bluetooth indicator work with this dialer? As when I switch to the standard WM dialer the bluetooth doesn't show, or is there a fix for this?

All graphics are in the Zip file. from first post.

The Bluetooth icon is indeed part of the HTC Dialer that starts these extra icons in status bar.
Just seen this thread, nice skin! I've added a link to this thread in my WM dialers thread, also a solution to the Bluetooth icon issue.
I've had a look at your cab and there seem to be some extra files that aren't in most WM dialer skins... do you know if they are necessary?
Let me take a look BRB.
Couldn't see which files are extra these where all directly taken from the original VGA dialer i found in Diamond Roms.
Didn't know about your thread, so sorry and thanks.
I extracted and re used the graphics from the original HTC Log IN Dialer.
Just curious, but is a white/black skin in the works?
Is there a WVGA version for this skin available? I copied the files in the zip to my Windows folder but it looks all screwed up at the bottom. I can see my wallpaper there while the rest of the screen is correct. The colors look really nice though so a WVGA skin would be awesome . I am using a Dutch Touch HD with stock rom.
I figured i should stop being lazy and just make a WVGA skin myself So i did, i used you original files Noonski but i resized everything for a WVGA screen.
Here it is, the Diamondish WM Dialer for WVGA devices, thank you Noonski for the original skin.
I use this on my Touch HD and its perfect.

There is another thread somehwhere on the forum that picks up from this type of dialer which collects different skins.
I don't know if every skin there uses the max compression on the files.
(PNG 8 bit with Exact or adaptive coluors and the same for the GIF files)
I like the skin but as a newbie some additional questions:
1. How do I install, do I need the zip-file and the cab-file?
2. Can I switch back to the original dialer if I don't like it?
The Cab should restore the original settings.
You only need the Cab.
The Zip file is for those that would like to Change the skin themselves.
new pure black skin
that was really nice and I have edited your files to make a new skin for myself i thought i should share it in here
just unzip the attached file and copy contents to windows folder on your WVGA device using resco or total commander and enjoy it ... its the lightest skin I ever used and looks NICE
???
anyone know what is the original name of these pictures in windows folder ?? cause i have placed them there but its not changed in call history
clg_miss
clg_out
clg_in
non of them working
another one
here is another one tell me if you are interested and i can post the zip ...

Every couple of months for the past 3 years a new rumor about an Apple-branded PDA emerges. And every single time it proves to be nothing but a rumor.
Well, I decided to stop waiting and make my JAM look like an Apple device in what I'm calling "The iPocket Project".
The project is comprised of re-skining the interface and every application possible with apple-like look & feel. I work in the design industry and it won't be aproblem for me to create the designs, but I'll need some help turning the graphics into usable skins. Here are the steps I'm going to take to achieve this:
- Wallpaper
- PhoneAlarm Skin
- Interface Skin (through 3rd party app)
- Intellidialer Skin
- Intellipad Skin
- Phone Dialer
- Windows Media Player Skin
- Sugar cube trick to get rid of the iMate Logo
- Adding an Apple Logo
Any help will be greatly appreciated and, of course, all the pieces will be available here for free download.
To get things started, here are the first JPGs I've created:

Howard Short, I know you are really good with dialer skins. Wanna give me a hand?
You do realize that it won't ever function as seamlessly as an Apple, no matter how you skin it, right?
If you are prepared to offer Wisbar Advance 2 and Snoopsoft Dashboard your patronage, you can have an interface like this one:

Unfortunately, the links are down due to Duckie's server bandwidth being exceeded, but the QVGA version has been temporarily uploaded to the following location:
http://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1HZMH6TJP9ROS08EY5YBA0WBC0
I was already a registered owner of Wisbar Advance, but soon became a registered owner of Dashboard based on the strength of this skin. It goes a long way to transforming the PocketPC interface into something useful rather than just being pretty as well...
Also be sure to check out Buz Lightyear's fantastic keyboard skins in these forums as well. He made a beautiful OS X style one.
By the way, I love your dialer skin graphic! I think there is a tool to allow you to create a .psk file (or something like that) which allows a 3rd party tool to install it. I'll do some hunting...
EDIT: Howard has provided the links to the PSK creator here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=35335. However I am not sure if it will do the intellidialer parts (which you have in your screenshots). I guess if someone (Howard?) has a photoshop file or similar with the necessary cutting lines it should be straighforward to chop those parts out into the necessary in* files to be copied to the \Windows dir. Also, I should be able to knock up the necessary DLL that would be needed to provide the depressed states for those buttons if you can provide a graphic incoporating the depressed states you would like to be seen.
Heck, if nobody steps forward, just post up png/bmp/gif files of exactly what you want seen in the dialer and I will chop it up for you.

Ok, I have created a Photoshop document with the necessary slices set up to allow creation of the various images necessary for the dialer, including the intelidialer section. Ipload it somewhere later. Working on a landscape one shortly. malencar, all I need are the graphics, including down-states and I can package the dialer up into a CAB or a ZIP.
Note that I am currently investigating how to not have the dialer overlay the graphics with it's own text. It doesn't appear to use strings in the registry, so I am checking the dialer code to see if those strings are in resources. Basically we would want the strings removed or at least want the font adjustable. It's currently touch and go whether the fonts can appear the same as in your picture. No problem with the button graphics though. BTW, what font did you use?
I've made a new, refined version for the Dialer. Here it is:
Zetsurin, I'll PM you the link to download the original PSDs I'm working on.
Cheers
Malencar, that's looking awesome! The only technical hitch currently is that the dialer software currently overlays all button graphics with white text in the standard system font. ie. not what we want. I'm looking into it for now, trying to get the DLL's out of my PDA at the moment and will take a closer look... Tempted to just start extending the open source dialer D9 (www.pocketgamer.com/D9) to accomodate those graphics. That would also provide an opportunity to create a dialer which is much better for single handed operation but also a lot more work... the built in HTC dialer app, for all it's fault does seem to be quite tweakable, so there is still hope yet.
Zetsurin,
Here is the version with separated blue buttons so it can work with the white font. For the PSD just go to the same link I sent you before on the PM. I've also included a cut-out blue button with no text to make your life easier ;-)
WMP10 Skin - iTunes Pocket. This version is audio only (anothe one with video coming soon). I'll work on the button pressed states and upload soon.
malencar,
Well one the way with the dialer skin. Should be ready sometime this evening (or your morning)
I had to manually remove the text from the Talk button, as the dialer (man, the standard dialer is CRAP) insists on overlaying the text on that as well. Anyway, it's looking pretty good. Expect a ZIP file later with all the images.
Cheers,
Zet
Malencar,
Here's an early file for the dialer. Not all the images are done yet (some of the buttons, and also none of the intellidialer section), but it serves as a good checkpoint on the progress so far. Just copy the files in the ZIP to your /Windows directory on your Pocket PC.
Maybe this is what you want to achieve???
This is totally IPocket isn't it? Although it's another device, it could be done with a JAM and that would take you less work! And menu-structures could be the same as Apple...
By the way, could you maybe post Mediaplayer skin you made?
The all white dialer skin and Pocket Itunes skin for WMP are great. Mind hooking me up with both of them ?

nice job guys! Just for the 411 wisbar advanced is not compadable with pocket pc phones period. Even the latest beta is a no go. The caller ID does not work when wisbar advanced is going. As for these other skins and phone dialers they rock!
Mike
Guys, as for skinning the OS, it just doesn't get better than Duckie's skin IMHO.
I run Wisbar Advance 2 (latest beta, not the .10 final which isn't compatible with Phone Edition) and Snoopsoft Dashboard. I think it's a magic combination. Check out the attached screens...
Aiight people,
Version 0.1 (beta) of the iDialer is here. Zetsurin and I put this together and it is working fine. The Portrait and Landscape versions are included as is the Intellidialer skin. Just drop all the files in your \windows folder and you're good to go.
I'll upload a version with minor refinements as soon as possible.
On another subject, anybody out there willing to put the WMP10 skin together? The design is ready and I can send the PSD file to whomever is willing to help.
Cheers
Malencar
Sorry to tell you but the latest beta in wisbar advanced does not work correctly with the pocketpc phone. The caller ID does not work. So if you don't care about caller ID I guess then you are ok . Try calling your voice mail and then while in your voice mail have someone call you. You will hear the audio beep saying someone is trying to call you but no notification and no way to switch to the other call.
Mike
Also the arrow back button is covered by the intellidialer skin. Any reason why?

Yeah, this is the first beta so, it definitely needs tweaks. The back button thing is a mystery to me. I fixed it and made the button smaller but for some reason it keeps stretching to the size you see now.

Actually, I just double-checked and I have the .24 beta. Anyway, I guess I'm not so popular as I have never had a situation of someone calling me while I was on another call It does tell me who is calling me when it's ringing though, so caller id in that sense seems to be OK. Anyway, that version works fine for everything I do on my mini, so I won't bother upgrading until all issues are ironed out. It must be a pain for the author to get it working right, don't you just wish there was a bit more standardisation in the design of these phone devices, that sure would make it easier for the developers.
I would like to present my Black Skin Pack. I did not make the programs, but I modyfied most of them to give the appereance i want.
The Last of that Projects was the creation of my Comm Manager Skin. I hope you'll like it. I took Shaps Kaiser Comm manager to start the Creation. And it will identify like that in the Installed Programm List.
But have a look by yourself:
Today Theme:

}
Comm Manager:
Dial Pad:
Slide2Unlock:
Instructions:
For the Slide2Unlock Skin just Copy the files into the GFX Folder and overwrite the original ones. If you dont have that Program you can download it here
If your Rom Cooker has skinned the Pin-Number input, and you want that black just delete the reg-key "HKLM/Security/ResOver/Bitmaps/BaseDll".
I used the PHM Registry Editor
Unfortunatly the Dialpad Skin will switch your Today Skin, too. So you have to switch the Today Skin again after you have installed the Dialpad
File List:
Today Theme:Rapidshare Megaupload
Dial Pad:Rapidshare Megaupload
Slide2Unlck: Rapidshare Megaupload
Comm Manager:Rapidshare Magaupload
So i hope you'll have fun with that Downloads
Important:
The Buttons for the phone being muted were missing in my first release of the Comm Manager, so you should download the fixed file I just uploaded. I first did not realize that because I only tested the functions of Comm Manager itself.
You can help me to improve my Comm Manager if you could get me the answers to the following Questions:
There are some Buttons missing to get all Functions intigrated. So where is the definition of which png belongs to which funktion and how could that be changed.
Maybe the key to that problem can be found in the SCHAPS~1.000 file but i wasnt able to open it correctly. So does sombody know what Filetype the File is and how it can be opend and edited (Notepad gives me nonsense)
Some insight in the Reg Key HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\DisableButtonText would be nice. For it is responsible for displaying the Comm Manager in different ways. But with the PNG's the only usable option is the Value 2. Otherwise you got the original Comm Manager displayed. But the Options are quite interresting (0 = Original Setup with Button Text on the Top / 2 = Buttontext on every Button / 3 = No Button Text.). But there has to be a place to where this Key is referring.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
Hi
Like your Comm Manager Skin a lot. But I can't download from Rapidshare. In fact, I have problem downloading from Rapidshare 9 out of 10 times. Can you post it in another place for download?
Also, will it override the default Comm Manager Skin such that I need to hard reset to get it back? Cos' I wanna have the option of freeing up my device memory should I need the space for another application. Please confirm.
Thanks! Great job!
Will it work well in english?
I noticed that these weren't in english, maybe a noob question but it does it matter?
Looking good!
Coradiel,
Thank you for this wonder black pack!!!! So great!!!
Thank you for your hard work modifying and uploading! Thank you!
Very nice, can you make a similar skin for Psshutxp
Edit: The fonts in the commanager are too bold, can you change the font please

Thnx for liking it. I'll try to provide an other Mirror.
To your second question. The Comm Manager can be uninstalled through the "Installed Program List" in Windows Settings. But if u use the default Comm Manager u can go back too by editing HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\DisableButtonText (Value from 2 to 0)

Megaupload Links added

First of all no Question is a noob question. We all had to learn once.
There is no Language File in all of the Skins. MS made the wonderful thing to store them in other lokations and not meld them with the Skin Files since WM5 (i think it is since WM5). So u can use this Package with every Language
plz post in some other site
hi

For i dont now Psshutxp i cant promise you anything. But i'll have a look at that.
For the Fonts: I can't really say anything about the Fonts in your english rom, because i'm not able to get them displayed with my device. But i can tell you that i'm not satisfied with the Button Texts, too. I wanted them not to be displayed, but i cant find the keys resposible for that. There is a reg key in the setup.xml, that seems able to do that, but if i change it the skin is gone, too. If anybody knows how that task is done pleas tell me.
General Information:
There are the PNG files of the Backgrounds and Buttons, the Commmanager.exe and a file I was not able to identify in my cab File (SCHAPS~1.000). Maybe the Key to that Task is in that last file, but i'm not shure which Program I should use to open it properly, because this file isn't mentioned in the setup.xml. Notepad gives me a lot of glyphes beside some readable information. And I'm really not sure what it does (im much better in editing graphics than programmng, actually).
I also would like to know where i can find the assignement Buttons=Tasks so that i'm able to integrate new tasks with new Buttons into the Comm manager
(i would like to integrate voip, for example).
I would be grateful for help
I have problems unzipping the files. (tried the dialpad and the comm-manager).
I tried windows-xp's built in routine and izarc.
Both give error-messages. What is my error?

Beside that I must honestly say that i did not know where your problem is.

I can't get the Comm Manager installed
My device says that I don't have the correct systemrights/accessrights.

Maybe you have an other Comm Manager installed. You first have to uninstall it.
When does the Installation Process stop? During the installation or at the beginning?

Beautiful skins, thanks!
Just a question, maybe it is not the fault of your skin but I even ask my question here.
How to hide in the Phone Dial Pad the little part displaying contacts?
Indeed I've the keypad from bottom to middle, then a little part of my contacts displaying and then the background skin and my Orange logo.
I never noticed contacts before, is there a way to make them disappear?
Thanks.

I think your question refers to the smartdial funktion. Whenever you start dialing, the matches found on your phone will be displayed. I believe that this is a funktion of WM5 and WM6 (programmed by HTC), it appeared in every dialpad skin i tried on my phone (if the skin was programmed for WM5 or WM6 and that funktion is supported by them).
And sorry if i have to say that. My programming skills are very limited so i do not really know.
But there are several reg-keys in the setup.xml referring to the smartdial funktion. The best thing you can do to check that is by using a regestry editor (i provided a link to one in my first post) and edit that keys one after an other and look what will happen (dont forget to reboot after each change). I know, that this is a long process and it cant be seen if u have success by doing that. But that is the way i'm going through all the times I change programms.
You'll find the keys referring to Smartdial in "HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing"
I hope that is what u want and u'll have success with that. I think you'll not damage anything by doing that, if u do one change after an other and remeber the original settings. But I for shure can't give you a guaranty.
So good luck
No it's not that
In fact, when I open the phone, I have this display all the time.
Indeed, when I start to compose a number, the smartdial tries to match contact links, but what I'm talking about is present all the time, not only when I compose a number.
I'm going to have a look in the reg and see if I could find something
Thanks.
i'm sad
these look really pretty, but they won't work on my phone :'-(
i tried installing them, but they just made everything white...no background....just plain pure white...i have a treo 700wx, so if you can fix it plz let me know.

I say neonstorm's post the other day where he replaced the HTC images in the /windows directory to make new skins. His skins are nice and worth checking out. The weren't exactly what I wanted though.
So... I figured I could do the same thing. Below are a few as examples. I have the WM themes that goes with each one except for the grass if anyone is interested. I thought I would offer to make a few custom skins for people if you are interested. The themes support both portrait and landscape modes. They are QVGA only though.
To Install:
Unzip all images (png) to your /windows directory. They will overwrite the existing HTC Touch Dialpad images. (I have included these below in case you want to revert back) Next, reboot your phone, or disable it off (airplane mode) and end the cprog.exe program. Re-enable the phone and you should be good.
To Request:
If you like this style and would enjoy having a custom skin just ask. I will need an image or both the portrait and landscape modes. If you would rather, just put up the .tsk file you are using for your theme and I can extract them. Depending on the response I will try to get them done within a day or so.
There have been a few other designers step up and help with requests. Most of these start around page 17. If interested check them out! There is a little more information in this post.
Well, I am not a programmer so this is about all I can currently do to give back to this community, at least for now. Let me know what you think! I hope you enjoy!

nice job!
Wonder if it's possible for these types of dialers to make the buttons transparent, that way, you can just change the dialer background and easily change the dialer theme.
Also, this can work with sprint HTC Touch, but you need indialer_accu_p.png and indialer_accu_l.png which you can make from copying the number bar from the main screen dialer.
Thank you for your great contribution, you are such an artist.
I want to ask for help in creating a new skin for dutty dialpad (forgot what it's called), I found it in hermes or kaiser thread.
Here are the pictures of this dialpad:

hi there... can you confirm that this dialer works? because i've tried this kind of dialer and have an auto call problem.. like when you wake your device, it makes a phone call to your last call history number..

Sorry about that. The first post now has the correct jigsaw.zip. As for you number issue? I have not seen this before. Check in you /windows directory and make sure the NmBtn0up_port.png and NmBtn0dn_port.png and the like are there and correct. This is just an image substitution so not much that can go wrong.
Original Touch Dialer Images...
Sorry this didn't get into the first post. Here are the original HTC Touch Dialpad images that are replaced with this theme.
Would be nice...
superflysocal said:
nice job!
Wonder if it's possible for these types of dialers to make the buttons transparent, that way, you can just change the dialer background and easily change the dialer theme.
Also, this can work with sprint HTC Touch, but you need indialer_accu_p.png and indialer_accu_l.png which you can make from copying the number bar from the main screen dialer.

That was my original intent in making this skin. Just make the buttons transparent and then change one or two images to change the whole thing. I originally tried this, but the dialpad doesn't use pngs with transparent alpha layers. (or something like that) I will used the odd purple for complete transparent areas, but the blended areas didn't display correctly.
I am not an expert in this area though, so if I did something wrong and someone knows the correct way to get partial transparency, I will be glad to post up a generic version. As it is, I did the next best thing for me. Scripted up the slice and dice routine in Script-fu (gimp). Now all I have to do is change the back ground and push a button. Almost as easy.
Glad you like it!
Purple for jeffreynew23
Here you go jeffreynew23! If she wants a different background just let me know what it is. I had some free time and thought I would at least throw one together for you quick. Hope she likes it!
These are great. I like the font on the number pad much better than the techy looking default one. Thanks for sharing!
Thank You!!!!

Excellent work
PhilD41 great work. One of the reasons I haven't been using the touch dialer is that it is so ugly. I just stuck the the WM6 one. If I could get the dialer to look like the rest of my theme I would be well pleased.
I am using the theme attached. But I have a feeling that the dark color will make the names in the smart dial list impossible to read. Have a look and let me know if its possible.
Thanks in advance.

I will try to find some time tonight to play with it. I am currently using a fairly dark theme which is still readable. It isn't black though. If nothing else, it is just graphics so I could always lighten up the smartdial area instead of darken it. Hopefully I will have a screen shot for you this evening or tomorrow and see what you think.
Water and Fire Dialpad
Hey maccaberry!!
I think it turned out quite nice!! The dialpad is attached below. I have included a screenshot from my phone below. I have also included a tweaked .tsk file. I make a small change so the top and bottom bars are darker black. You can see the difference in the image below (right two images).
Let me know what you think. If I have time, I might make a PocketCM theme to go with it and add it to my pShades collection.
WaterandFire
PhilD,
Man you are good. This looks fantastic. I am not sure what your pShades is, but I will have to check it out now that I have seen your work.
Thanks so much for your efforts. I have tried to put back into the forums by answering lots of n00b questions so that the developers have time to develop instead of answering questions. But what you have done here is a great way to contribute too.
Thanks so much!
maccaberry
You are very welcome! I am glad you like it. Graphics work has always been a hobby of mine and theming seems a good way to put it to use. With my wife and 18 month old son our of town for a few weeks I have had some time to play.
UPDATE: NEW CAB Installer !(Many thanks to SaBo)
THE Buttons for active video calls and Landscape are not skinned at the moment but they are working with your default Buttons.
This is just working on any Polaris (touchcruise, Orbit2) and maybe Kaiser (?)and changes just your graphics in windows folder to Diamond Style and changes/adds some registry entries for the progress screen to get a dark text color on the white buttons (screenshot 2). It works with any language.
This is only tested with wm 6.0, i can cause small graphic Problems with wm 6.1 (see last Post).
Thanks for the People who helped me, and for one background i found here somewhere and SaBO for the new cab installer.

thank you great work
Tried on TyTN II with Hyperdragon IIIs full rom, main dialer screen works but the end call screen doesn't seem to work, or is it the new skin doesn't include the end call screen.
Smartdial is working, but Video call is working, error message saying that 3G network is not available. Not sure at this moment if it was due to Rom 3G dialer or not.
Thanks for the great work.
I have a touch cruise! The graphics are stored in the windows folder?

Alright, confirmed 3G video working.
Hi,for easy install,here is the cab .
- thanks for the cab
- my Idea was, why install a new "not working" Dialer if whe can change just the graphics of the existing one ? so on Polaris everything must work.
- im still working with original Diamond graphics now and you will get a much more beautifull Dialer (see Post 2),
- the video, erase.... buttons are to bright at the moment, this will be solved with next version.
- the End-screen will come also, its not included at the moment, first i must search for all buttons in my windows directory
- maybe i do landscape too, but never seen anyone phone in landscape
if anyone finds a bug (forgotten graphic) post here.

Update to a better Version, see first Post
Here you find a Quick GPS-Skin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405548
wow, great minds think alike. I was just thinking about which icon to use for my 3g idaler skin and came across one I like on Google search. Then I run across this and you ended up using the same exact one! Guess i will use something else.
btw, can you post a screen shot of the progress page during call and after hang up. i need to see what are the functions of the buttons during and after call.
hy super.
I used with a little of reworking original Diamond buttons found in the oem pack of diamond. The video/Call list and erase buttons are made by me with using diamond background buttons.
at the moment this is just the dialpad, but i am working on a solution for dialing in progress. Here is a first screenshot:
Problem that will come:
1. this dialer uses white text on blank black buttons, so there will be a problem when using white Buttons ? maybe i have to do some changes in the registy to solve that problem.
2. I Can´t locate exactly the other blank buttons without text. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH ARE THE EXACT NAMES OF THIS BLANK BUTTONS; FOUND 3 OR 4 BUTTONS THAT COULD BE USED BY THE DIALER IN MY WINDOWS DIRECTORY ?
2. The VideoCall Button was easy, its skinnable on its own and not using the other blank background buttons with text, so i could use a picture for it.
It works on my HTC Touch Cruise. Thank you very much.
thank you for feedback.
still working on Dialing screen, but now i got this graphics bug on the first row
i found out that the blank buttons the dialer uses are called CmdBtn..., EdBtn... and TkBtn... but my same button has the bug only in first row ?
Problem two is the white text (what a surprise he he)
will work on this tomorrow.
i copied these files to my windows folder but there was nothing to replace. I did a soft reset, and i still had the same htc dialer. doesnt work on the Kaiser i guess.
For different color of Progress page text, try:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\PROGRESS\portrait(landscape)\VerbButton\textFlags
it is probably at ffffff (white), try changing it to 0 for black. remember to wait a few minutes before soft resetting.
I use to also think that making skin for Landscape was a waste of time. But if you don't do it, there will be a line of people asking for it, so you might as well do it.
bluemetalaxe said:
UPDATE: The NEW VERSION, using original Diamond Graphics (and some from me )
it was a little bit more work then first Version.
If you already have my first version, just replace the files with this.
THIS IS JUST tested on POLARIS !!! and its only the Dialpad, will do more next days.
This is working because i changed only graphics.
Its just tested on Polaris Dialer (touchcruise/Orbit 2). No Landscape support.
This is not working if you have another Phone or Dialer. maybe on Kaiser if it has the same htc dialer ?
-make a copy of original graphics (see in my folder which graphics are replaced) or make a backup. When you do a hardreset your original graphics are back of course.
What to do: download, unzip and put the Folder on your touchcruise, use TotalCommander and put all graphics from my folder directly in your windows directory. Make a softreset. Ready.

Tested on my TyTN II running on Hyperdragon IIIs full rom. I like the previous version of video call button better. Anyway, appreciate the efforts. BTW, I think the last screen buttons had not been done.
Thanks.
- mikeeey: thank you for feedback, so the original kaiser rom seems to have another dialer/button names.
if someone has the time he can find out how the buttons are named on kaiser and rename my graphics ?
- superflysocal: i dont have the textflag or any text or textcolor-key in this regitrypaths or other paths ?
-zand: you dont like all buttons or just the video eye-button? the first version was in most parts original touchcruise with changed white/black buttons, this version has original diamond buttons, just made new green display, function buttons.
Hi dearest fellow XDA community!
Since I thought it wouldn't be practical to have both the VGA and QVGA Touchflo 2D dialer in one thread I thought I'll open a new one, only VGA in this one.

As some of you know I've made several dialpad skins, though lately more and more people buy a device like the Touch Diamond or Pro wich features a VGA screen. My QVGA skins/dialer won't work on VGA devices so the next thing was inevitable, people wanted the dialer in VGA.
The problem with that is that I currently don't own a VGA device thus making testing hard/impossible for me to do. That's why I need the community, yes I need YOU! for the U.S. Army xD
That means I wan't you to test out if the graphics are looking nice and if there are any glitches. I am not able to help with technical problems only graphical, sorry for that.
fards here from xda just donated his old HTC Universal to me so next week I hope I'm able to test some VGA! thanks fards!
In this thread I will keep you posted about updates through this code field, it will indicate what is included in the current test version. I'll also keep a small changelog.
what's in the current version:
Code:
| Portrait | Landscape
Main Dialpad | done |
Incoming | done |
Outgoing | done |
Videocalling | |
History | |
Save to Contacts | done |
-->latest version<--
Version tracker:
Test 6: redesigned the main dialpad, added some missing icons in the progress screen (conference and swap), skinned the save to contacts dialog and added default pictures for people without a contact picture.
If someone is able to give me some screenshots of the videocalling screen I can start skinning that! Please supply them to me in a good quality (mymobiler -> save screen as bmp)
as usual feel free to:
Donate
oh yeah, please leave me a note before placing my work on your blog or web/warez site!
Is this coming to QVGA? I know this is VGA thread. I just like the new look and incomig call notice. BOO
its already on QVGA. although not the exact same.
@paul:
I know you said you cannot help with any technical problems, I want to ask if these .cabs are just replacing the dialer images or more?
This is because there are indeed technical issues regarding Test5 which caused me to uninstall. But if these .cabs are only replacing the dialer images then I could pin point whats the problem more easily.
Note to others, just want to know if anybody else are having the same issues.
-After installing dialer, flip to mute isn't working.
-After receiving/making phone calls the dialer stays open
- last dialed number randomly pops open on the dialer at times.
THanks for you hard work PAUL!

I second that. Although I like the dialer better on the QVGA version that's already out, the incoming caller ID screen is VERY SEXY
another bug found. Think it should be classed as a Graphical bug because test5 was fine.
anyways when the dialer is summoned, the bottom central SIP graphic is garbled and messy. nothing like what your demo above shows.
But either way its a very good dialer!
EDIT::
fixed with a softie.
Strange because i soft reset after installing the dialer.
So 2x Softies if you have similar to what i wrote above
THanks again!
help for video call vga
http://rapidshare.com/files/155117454/VideoTelephony_Diamond__color_battery__Swtos.cab.html
Heads up!
What does that cab do john?
Anyway what I wanted to announce is that I won't continue skinning the VGA version until I have my own VGA device. It's just too much of a hassle to let you test it for me. Fards has sent me his old universal by mail yesterday and I expect it to be in my hands around monday or tuesday, so then I will continue skinning for VGA.
I could do a port to qvga and release V1.1 of the qvga version so I'll might do that in the meantime.
No updates today, I have to work and my girlfriend just got home from holiday so I'm out tonight.
Thanks,
Paul
ps: When I have my own device I will look for a better Touch Diamond dialer. The one I'm currently using isn't bugfree. So If you want something to do just find a good working cab. (one without the keyboard bug and with videocall in the main dialpad instead of contacts) If you find that, it would be just great!
On the scr ... the dialing and open keyboard - small bug...
as before can you take a look to that?
That looks really sexy =) Oh, one question though is this for Tf2D or can I use this with the default tf3d, too ?
Thanks an advance ^__^
The dialer skin is independant of TF3D so yes, it can work. It's called TF2D probably cos the look and feel is inspired by TF2D.
any plans of updating the qvga theme similar to this one? this looks really nice.

Wow Paul, this looks amazing. How did you get the incoming call screen? Am I right that the QVGA version does not have the incoming caller function? Looking forward to a QVGA port of this version! Thank you.
nice neat and clean. but I think it is consuming too much RAM on my device (Eten X800). I tried uninstalling it but it wont. When I uninstall it waits quite a while and says "some parts weren't removed do you want to remove from prog list" ... .. when I soft reset it is still there.
any advice ?
Looks super-cool, However:
Once installed it resets my batty-monitor back to the original one. cant seem to get rid of that one. .
De rest of the thing is a bit.. unstable. But i am sure this wil soon be fixxed.
Keep up the good work!
(htc-touch-pro, custom rom)
Im thinking of change manila dialer because of memory consumption near 10MB so how about your child how much memory it will cost??? thx anyway looks great perfect to my new diamond look
Yes finally a VGA dialer for the HTC Touch Diamond I'll test it right now,THANKS
3 hours later well this is what happened i installed this new dialer pretty cool but the 3G,H,Edge icon's changed when i installed this dialer?
any news? on that
