Dissappearing dialer skin after changing today skin

I have a dutch HTC P4350 and I hate the green today theme.
But when I change the today theme, the device asks for a soft reser and when its again up and running the dailer skin has disappeared.
I only have grey buttons which are ugly (imho).
Has anybody this problem?
Can it be fixed?
I was thinking that the problem is a invalid link in the registry to the default dailer theme because when I restore the original htc green today theme, also the dailer is restored (after a soft reset.)
Can someone help me???
Thanx!

No one has this problem??
Than I think I wil send my 4350 back to HTC for repair....
Too Bad

I have this problem also. I have tried two hard resets and nothing works.

Can't say I've ever used the skin, so don't know what it's doing, but the long way around might be to get the .tsk file (the theme) and decompile it with WinCE Cab manager to see what registry settings it's changing.
Then just ensure that those registry keys stay as they should after changing the theme.

hm .. the same problem ... ((((

Hmm, decompiling the tsk file, seems to be difficult.
I spoke to HTC support, but they don't know the problem exist.
Think it's a bug in the rom or ext rom because I have no problem with my HTC P3600.

try this
On my HTC Herald (p4350) the Smart Dialer Application skin has a light gray background and the text (caller/callee, elapsed time, etc.) is in white and therefore barely readable.
I changed the following key
HKLM/Software/HTC/?PhoneCanvas/Task0
in that I changed the value of the REG_DWORDs
DIALER/portrait/text:textColor
DIALER/landscape/text:textColor
from their default value FFFFFF (hex) to 000000 (hex). That changed the color of the text from white to black in both orientation modes (after soft reset).

I tried it on my brand new device and dont have this problem. I changed to the standard windows theme and I got a grey dialerskin (with smart dialing working)

Smart Dialing
I had a problem with the HTC Dialler skin disabling the smart dialling. After reading many forums i gave up on trying to get that particular skin working and opted for one of these http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GH_ShowArticle.asp?HID=35&CATID=1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12 The black skin is a little too black for my liking and was overriding the "HTC new theme". I just changed to another theme and back again and hey presto, colour scheme as I wanted it AND my smart dialler working. Haven't looked at the memory usage yet but seems to work fine after the initial wait on first use.

first screen problem ...

Hi everyone !
Enjoying my Touch HD but today first problem has cropped up.
My screen can be seen below - screenshot_1.jpg and also how it has changed - screenshot_3.jpg.
Sometimes the clock changes to just numbers that do not flip over.
I did install HTCPlus! but it did not work, so I uninstalled it.
I have tried a soft reset and do not want to do a hard reset !
I have also changed pictures in settings > today, and then rebooted the Touch HD and then tried to put the original picture back..
Any ideas?

yes, solution hard reset

you should be able to correct it by going settings > wallpaper > then it should ask to use default yes or no, just hit yes.
Thats how it works on the diamond, maybe its the same on the HD?

sorry, but i am not sure what the problem is and how many problems you are describing:
I blieve one of the problem is that your clock's numbers don't flip over.
i am not sure what is the point of the screen shots, are you saying the background looks different (second picture has a greyish background). Please clarify so we can assist you.

Just go to settings (TFLO 3D) > Background > default background : yes or no, choose yes and the background is just normal again.
I had that problem also when i was discovering the new Touch HD phone

Hi!
sorted now, worked it out this evening...
and mwatson! you were spot on! Thanks to everyone for posting...

How to change owner info on TF3D home screen

My Touch HD was purchased second hand and i cannot figure out how to change the owner name that is displayed in the right hand corner above the clock on the touch flo home screen.
Same line displays the service provider in the left hand corner.
I changed the owner info under "settings" - "personal" - "owner information"
but this does not seem to change the name displayed on the home screen
The Rom is Miri WM 6.5 17.0 WWE
Any ideas?

Hi,
first ... welcome to the Forum!
I would try a Hardreset.
If this won't work ... i know here are Tools that can change things like this, but really don't remeber their names.
Try a search.
regards
fwt

Would also recommend asking within Miri's rom thread as every rom is different and settings you change on one rom may not affect another in the same way.
Obviously try what fwt said first

You can use Max TF3D Theme Maker to remove that or even change it to your own name.
There are other programs that can do the same thing... these can be found in the Wiki.
Have fun with your HD.

reflash miri rom should erase all the customization previous owner made

HD2 Hard to read Quicklink Text

Hi guys, just got my HD2 few days ago,
I haven't modified the rom or anything just applied the following:
Dutty's Taskmanager
DJC Taskbar
Cookie's Home Tab
I don't know how the quicklink or shortcut text looked before but I noticed that the text is not as clear, I mean the white color of the text of homescreen shortcuts is not as clear, I have no problems with reading anywhere else except on the home tab....
The white text is bit hard to read... I don't know if everyone has this problem?... is it normal?... Also is there a way to change the size of the text because I think if I make it like bold text, then it would be much easier to read....
again the Start button text, menu and phone at the bottom (which are quite thick letters) look very fine its just the text of shortcuts and weather temperature...
please let me know if anyone else has similar text that is hard to read..
thanks

is cleartype enabled?
settings tab - menu - all settings - system - screen enable cleartype.

Hi.... I don't see "Screen" icon when I go into system... ?? Which option are you talking about?
Please clarify
Thanks
p.s. this issue is the same as one discussed recently about pixelated home tab...
I am using stock rom with Cookie's Home tab....
If anyone knows about any .cab files that can be installed to solve this problem, please let me know.. .thank you.. again the problem is hard to read quick link text and weather text below the clock on the home screen (when I say hard to read It is somewhat blurry but readable.. this is not a serious issue but it doesn't look very good on the huge screen of HD2) any help will be appreciated thanks....

seems teh screen settings are hidden by default in some roms.
With a registry editor, browse to
HKLM/controlpanel/pen and change the value of 'Hide' from 1 to 0.
Soft reset, then go settings tab - menu - all settings - system and you should see screen settings icon.

You are a life safer! it makes such a huge difference I can't believe it wasnt on by default! amazing!!!! thanks thanks thanks!

pleasure

Nice, this should go in the tweak list!

While I agree that ClearType makes a huge difference, I second the request to make quicklinks text in Cookie's Home Tab larger or adjustable. ClearType or not, it is quite hard to read as of now.

TODAY scren

I am interested if I could somehow remove all the stuf from "today" screen
I love when I see walpaper and nothing more, interested in whether they can do it somehow, and if you can then how?
I believe that much like them that look.
or perhaps to add a new screen or box and set as "today" and the original "today" screen get 2 place and a different name.
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE

Installing Cookie's Home Tab gives you the option to keep using Sense, with the possibility to simply drag away your quicklinks, displaying only the time and your wallpaper.
Or you can go to Settings => All Settings => Today
Uncheck HTC Sense and enable Windows Default
This will allow you to use the main Windows OS interface

Thanx a LOT !
