New iPhone Dialer Skin- Revised Directions

Since iFonz and iPhone themes started making there way onto our ppc's , I have tried to find a dialer to go along with the overall look. But everyone I try has the same bug (locking up between status and keypad) as the other, if not more. So I made a skin for one of the most stable dialers I have found. Smartdial works, 911 works. Everthing works. My skin doesn't compare to the brilliant dialpads like Nargz or Dcx but I believe it's pretty decent. It will hold me over until one of them get the kinks worked out anyway. But thanks to "Jimm98y" for creating the original dialer, and thanks also to "kidnamedalbert" for creating the .cab file and making the skin easy to install. I havent had much time to see if there are any flaws in the skin, but if you notice any , post it and I'll have it fixed by the next day with a updated version posted. Also these skins are fully customizable. So if you have a request for a special background of any kind, any certain button design or button layout, anything at all , let me know and I'll try to get it to you.
Instructions are easy,
*First Install the .cab found in the "Install First" folder.
*Second Install the .cab found in the "Install Second folder.
Ok, after you install the first cab, it will tell you to restart your device. Hit cancell, DO NOT restart yet. Then go install the second cab. THEN DO A SOFT RESET.WILL NOT SHOW UP UNTIL AFTER RESET! Thats why its easier to cancell the first reset and just do one after both cabs are installed. Or do a reset after each cab instillation . This should fix you alls problem of it not showing up .Let me know , & sorry I didnt specify this earlier.
GSM/CDMA
Ive used this for around a month now on my CDMA ALLTEL VOGUE/TOUCH. Every feature works. Ive not had one problem since installation. However, this dialer was originally for gsm. There are reports of it working on both. We'll know when the feedback piles up. But Im confident it will work on both, and with the new instructions, there wont be any more trouble.
Features:
Im trying my best to work some more in. Smartdial works on my phone so ill have to see which ones it doesn't on then try to patch it up. The Smartdial option should be located under the menu option while on the keypad. Im working to add video call and a few more features.

Some pics would be nice!!

Any screenshots?

Sorry, heres some pics. My screen capture app sucks so a couple of the words look different darker and lighter, but thats just the pics, it doesn't have that problem on the phone.

Nice work!!
However, be careful when you say 911 works. It depends for what kind of phone you are talking about. If it is a GSM phone, then probably, but I doubt if 911 would work with a CDMA phone. If I am not mistaken, Jimmy98 dialers are based on GSM phone, so you will have issues with CDMA phones like Sprint.
With that said, any chance you can post the raw graphics files used, maybe in png's or other graphic file format?

You made this dialer????

CDMA/GSM
Actually to my surprise its working perfect on my CDMA Touch Vogue. I also recieved a PM saying its working on a GSM phone as well. Hopefully it stays that way. One dialer for GSM and CDMA, I hope. But Ive used it on mine now for a month with no flaws yet. I would love to know what everyone thinkds though. Custom requests welcome. From Spiderman to Lillies!

Skin
I made the skin. The wonderful dialer was made by Jimm98y.

where can I get smartdial feature for this dialer?
If its included, then its not working on my XDA IIs...
Cheers
EDIT: Smart dial works. I just didnt know that after pressing the numbers, you have to press "Hide Keypad" to view the filtered contacts...
Sorry about that...

What carrier are you on? I am pretty sure Jimmy98y dialer was written for GSM, so even though things seems to be working now, you will probably run into problems in the near future. How do you know 911 is working, btw? If you are on Sprint, do this simple test: Pull up the dialpad and type ##data# (or ##3282#), does the data provisioning screen of EPST come up? If not then it is not written for CDMA.
On the other hand...nice work on the graphics. can't wait for you topost or send the graphics files.

I installed this on my CDMA Touch. Its working but it doesn't look like the screen shots. My "talk" and "End" buttons are not red and green. and I have no Earth background

Smartdial
Theres an option to turn smartdial on on the menu on my vogue. Theres also som reports of it working on GSM devices, but Im unable to test this.

NEW
New Directions In The First Post

Unfortunately it's not working well on my tmobile wing with open touch v3 lite rom, mostly having trouble with Jimm98y's dialer itself. The smart dial sorta works after hiding keyboard, but I can't get it to re-dial the last number (it's important because lot of the times I'm simply returning a call), nor can I access my contacts from the dialpad screen. It behaves very similar to the other iphone dialer but I didn't get to a point of freezing yet. Now I'm back to the old touch dialer that came with the rom.
However I do see that the call status screen is very similar to the touch dialer. Is it possible that I only use that portion of the graphics? It's not too difficult to customize the dial pad using tdial but I could never get the status screen to look right. If you could share your graphics, or simply make a skin pack for touch dialer then it'll be great!
Thank you for the hard work.

Stability
I choose this dialer because its so stable. Even if you by chance loose a feature, in my opinion its worth the stability. Ive used it for a month now and not had 1 dialer related lockup or problem. In my opinion its worth it. Hopefully you enjoy. Any custom requests still welcome, just post it.

YES
If your having a problem with this dialer itself, I can try to create the skin for you dialer of choice, Stock or Not. Just post all the original graphic files on here and PM me and tell the page and post number there on. I can do it fairly quick. 24-48 hours.

I don't have the original pictures of the touch dialer I'm using, but it's the same as people discussed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372098
I could care less about the earth background (too !phony) but I do like the red end button and green talk button on the status screen in your skin and the texture of those buttons. And if possible could you use these attachments as backgrounds? I use this as my wallpaper for today and for S2U2 and it'll be very nice to go with these.
Thank you!

touch it 3.6beta - bug/fix

please use this post - only ifg you have the bug + fix, so that itje can use it very easy on next rom !
bug:
1.) creating a CONTACT after dialing.
after dialing new number: then you can create to this new number a contact.
but then you won't see the text it self, because i think it is black on black background .... so you have to do it as blind
2.) dailer: switch between the contacts - no number is showing.
if you go to the dialer seraching for a contact, then you find one of them and then you can change the kind of phone with left/right , then normally you should see the phone number in big letters from contact, but YOU DON'T SEE THE NUMBER
3.) on connection manager - WIFi on/off button.
BUG FIX:
=======
1.+2.) use attached cab file - and install this, then it works
+ additional i had include black dialer skin files - copy to \windows
3.) on connection manager - WIFi on/off button.
-> after first activation-> look in to the comm manager -> then it works hole the time. sorry, i'm not sure which regkey had to be set, that it works from beginning.
cu camel
EDIT: Sorry, for my form - normally i would send it to the cooker, and he can do the rest in new version ...
if someone will bring it in a correct form - thanks - then a mod should delete this thread

are this bugs confirmed by other users or are only you experiencing this ones ? Would be better if you check that !
And please, summarize bug and corresponding fix / workaround to one paragraph. (Look to other ROM bug threads how they have been styled)
regards,
Martin

Its ok..somewhat
I have allready adressed the "bugs/issues/glitches" with the graphics in dialer and on other apps.
And as I have said, I will try to have them all fixed, but im working with a fixlist, and I am trying to follow the list step by step. But as I also have mentioned many times, is that when I fix some "bug" then a new one surface.
I cant fix everything, I know only so mutch, and are still learning as I do this.
I am gonna try make a rom that work for most, but stuff like I dont like this or that..really guys....I must admit I dont care.
just an example, nobody needs to feel I step on their feelings:
When ppl comes and say a rom is useless because it has iContact (or w/e) then they really gotta stop and start using that rasin that floats around in the vacum inside their heads
(I mean no offence to thread starter. I do not mind ppl trying to help out to find sollutions to issues. I have asked for it many times that if you find a issue, and if you perhaps find the sollution. Then I appreciate it if its posted, with the source of the fix. It really saves me time.
SO..basicly...I dont mind this thread, as long as it can be kept clean from reports of issues reported 30 times before...but hey, I know..wishful thinking
I have a very busy week, so I cant be so mutch active in the threads. But that dont mean I dont read it. I read every single post you guys make, and I do try to take it all serious, but...
cheers

Phone dialler - misplaced text

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or what's caused this?
Really don't want to have to hard reset and reinstall apps one by one!
Referring to the "Call Hi..." bit on the bottom left. It's overlaying the video call toggle.
Cheers.

got the same problem, appeared after installing the hotfixes just 5 minutes ago.

I got that too after the hotfix install. I uninstalled the hotfixes but it still shows there.
Now if I try to install again it says "please use the correct version to install this hotfix"
I guess it didnt actually uninstall it

Installed that hotfix as well & can't reinstall it after uninstall.
Just looking through the hotfix exe's to see what its changed.

same here now i have to do hard reset?

Have the same problem.
I restored to an earlier backup.
Because even after UnInstalling the hot fix the text remains.

No probleme on french rom whit this hotfix .

Same as everyone else. Just noticed it when I went to make a phone call.

\Windows\Incall_02_B.bmp
\Windows\phcanhtc.dll
\Windows\rilphone.dll
\Windows\HTCLTB.png
\Windows\18c460d8_manila
These are the files from the two hotfixes.
If you:
1. Uninstall both hotfixes
2. Do a full backup with SPB backup or similar.
3. Do a hard reset.
4. Restore the backup but customise it so as to not restore the above five files.
It should go back to normal. Worked for me anyway.

Did UK users install UK version?
Can I check if the UK users experiencing problems downloaded the SLIDER fix from the HTC UK website or from the post in the forum which pointed to the HTC German website.
Please could you all respond.

Hello,
I am a UK user with ROM 1.14. Downloaded from the UK site from the European server. I have the "Call Hi" problem, but to be honest, I use the call history more than video calling, so apart from the icon looking bad, its done me a favor. If it was possible to make just that button look better, I would be very happy with its functionality. Video calling is still accessible from the menu.

same problem here.
the hot fixes are system fixes, when you uninstall, you are only removing the entries from the "remove programs" list, but the changes are not reversed. that's why it is not fixing the problem.
my only question is: which of the hot fixes caused this? I installed all three, and I know it's not the system freeze fix, because i installed that long time ago.

Hi Guys
I agree with Juggler258, it looks ugly but for me this is better functionality as well as I do not use video call! Peverse or what!!
OK - tried this a few times and unsure whether the slider is any better.

The slider hotfix.

i made a new thread about this problem, sorry about that.
It is annoying cause i want to make Video calls but now i can't because of this stupid hotfix.

Howcome HTC didn't saw this. I mean it's not some hidden bug - it's on the main screen come on.
@OFFTOPIC
The other day I sent their support an email about Flash and futer touchflo development. The answer was so lame I still don't have any clue.
It's not their job about flash,... they don't know at least not in the helpdesk blablabla.
Nokia offered me cool firmware updates and improvements - I hope HTC works that way too. Not just hotfixes.

Apparently HTC fixed this issue with the hotfix and video call problem. See this post.
EDIT: I just tried it and it works fine. Link to this HTC hotfix here.

[HELP] Cannot answer calls with Duttys R10 WM6.5 ROM and S2U2 v2.04

This appears to be a problem for some people but not others. I cannot find a definite fix on the posts I have read, hoping someone has found a working solution, so started a thread for just this issue.
I have just installed Dutty's R10 WM6.5 ROM on my Touch HD, and only have that and S2U2 version 2.04 installed on top, and whenever I get an incoming call when the screen is locked, the call comes through fine, caller ID and all but I cannot answer it. WHen I go to slide to answer, the S2U2 app and the dialers own slide screen is fighting for priority. I seem to be able to answer on occasion if I repeatedly tap the answer hardware key, but this doesn't always work.
I have tried swapping the settings around, and disabling the S2A, but then the other green and red keys appear and still cannot answer. Also tried the suggestion of adding S2U2 to the boitouch exemptions list in the registry with no success.
Anyone had the same issues and fixed or knows of a patch or workaround?

Same here. I may have found a workaround.
Just disable Caller ID on S2U2 and let the 6.5 handle incoming calls with Caller ID.
I tested, seem to work fine for me. You should try it and feedback here.

Yes, disabling the Caller ID from within S2U" worked, fantastic!!!
Does anyone know why the Caller ID now doesn't work using Duttys R10 and S2U2? Previous ROMs (think they were all WM6.1 though) have worked..

Probably just the updated WM base used. These OEM's keep moving and it's prbably hard for AC to keep up with S2U2.

glad you found a fix....
I was in a similar boat... I have a T8285 for use of 3g in US, but I cant answer incoming calls when i leave the phone with 3g on and locked when the call is received. just passes the call to be missed, all the while i keep sliding the bar to answer. the hotfix from htc made it worse... just made the dialer screen all screwy.
I posted the problem in both miri and dutty threads that are of which i use, but neither are the actual culprit.
sooo I tried S2U2 and disabled caller id, as suggested in this thread, but this didnt fix it. after searching for weeks, i've been stuck leaving my phone on edge.
sorry for the sob story. i envy that you fixed something and i haven't lol.

A number of HTC hotfixes had similar affect with my phone, i.e. made dialer all screwed up. I generally don't use them as they get implemented into the latest roms anyhow.
Which rom are you using at present? Have you tried posting your query into the S2U2 thread. Your most likely going to get more accurate response from someone who uses that software

S2u2 is new to me, so I haven't had the chance; I'll check that dedicated thread shortly.
Currently I use miri WM 6.5 23009. I've posted in that rom development thread and read it almost thoroughly (1K+ pages!).

If you turn on "windows dialer" instead "slide to answer" everything works fine even with "caller ID-> ON".The only thing with windows dialer you can't see the call history in dialer but if you use call history button the history shows fine.
I'm using duttys6.5 r9 turbo

Solved.
Hello
With new S2U2 version 2.12 is solved. Even with htc dialer, even with Caller ID, etc.
I had the same problem with Rom 6.5. But now is ok.
Regards.

[SOLVED] Problem with dailer and call history

Hi Guys,
I'm currently working on a Sense 2.5 ROM for my beloved X1 and most things work out quite good. I am using Manila Core 2022 and everything else (ecxept people) 2021. WM build is 29007.
Anyway the problem is as folows: If I make a call, it's not beeing logged in call history. If I miss a call, it's not in there as well, additionally I don't see the Icon in the taskbare notifying mee of the missed call. If I recieve a call, the dailer hangs sometimes and refuses to answer it. If it's shown at all, becouse more often I don't even see the call. If I successfully made/recieved a call, the dailer hangs for about 1-2 seconds and nothing responds.
I tried different dailers right now, all of them used to work perfectly in other builds with/and without sense. For that reason I think it might not be related to the dailer at all... What else could it be?
Thanks a lot for your your help!
EDIT: anyone who need to solfe this problem please look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7371585&postcount=2

Bump. No one?
For now I do have two suspects:
1) Build
2) One of the Oboe Packages.

OK, I think I got it fixed. The Problem was related to the 29007 build. I just swapped some older packages in and everything is going fine
EDIT: I was wrong. I still don't know whether it is Build or package realted...

Can you please elaborate the fix so that others will know
Thanks.

Sorry, I was wrong (unfortunately), the bug is still present. I have nearly no clue, whats wrong here :-(
Changed the title of the thread again

Elaborated further: I could reproduce the following:
When I open a contact card (HTC or WinMo, doesn't matter) and dail a number directly from there it does not get logged into the call history. The question now is: is it build related or are there any HTC tweaks responsible for that?
The problem appear regardless whether i have a Sense ROM or a "nonsense" ROM, so the people Tab (which was my first suspect) cannot be responsible for that!
Anyone any Idea? Who else has cooked some 29007 ROM?

To finish that topic: I found a package called "dailer fix" in here somewhere. It contains a older or modified cprog.exe (the dailer) and some registry files. Apparently that fixed the problem.
As far as I understood the newer versions of WinMo Builds have a different place to store the call history that the older ones but HTC's tools (dailer, Manila call history, etc) have the old places hardcoded inside. So using simply an older cprog.exe seems to have fixed that.
