NEW CAB for DIAMOND 3G VIDEO-DIALER SKIN for Polaris !

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.

That's great! Looking forward to the next version. Thanks.

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.

[APP][UPD: 2008.12.10.1]Gyrator 2: Auto Screen Rotation for *ALL* HTC Diamonds

[size=+2]Now supports ALL HTC Diamond/HTC Diamond Pro variants![/size]
Gyrator has an advanced graphical configuration interface which can be used to create
thousands of combinations of events to suit every users needs. Windows can be excluded
from all events, or only some of them. Customisable sound events can be triggered, and
the device can be made to vibrate for any event. The keypad can be locked, the screen
can be turned off, or the entire device can be instructed to suspend.
There's alot more information, too much to display here, along with advanced information
and guides on the project website which can be found at: http://gyrator.brins0.net

Requirements:
- HTC Diamond / HTC Diamond Pro
- WM6+
- .NET Compact Framework v3.5
If you really like this program, and want to buy me a coffee, you can do so here
A big thanks to my beta tester "LucidObscurity" from the forums, who's helped me iron out some of the small bugs.
Also a big thanks to one of my kind users, "Kiekeboe100", for donating the webspace gyrator.brins0.net is hosted in.
Forum user "starbase64" has written a useful tutorial for German Gyrator users which can be found here: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/windows_mobile_6_6_1_forum/54564-gyrator_screen_rotator.html

Doesn't rotate programs on the Touch Pro here, but it can somehow rotate the TouchFlo interface.

Same on HTC Diamond. Rotates main screen (messes up graphics for the icon tab) but still rotates it. Wont rotate anything else i tried so far.
Got an error 2 after few rotates

- Make sure you have the .NET Compact Framework v3.5 installed. It will work with 2.0, but can have issues (I've run my tests with 3.5)
Also, there are known issues with the touchflo interface. Normally screen rotation is completely disabled on the diamond to remove any possibilities of program messing up, so it's bound to cause issues i'm afraid. When I ran tests on my device, I didn't come across any errors, although I have completely removed TF3D from my diamond.
Can you try and make the error happen again, and record the steps you took to make it happen, as well as all the information the error window gives you, and i'll try and correct the problem.
Edit 1: Forgot to add that the library cannot retrieve orientation information on some devices with certain roms installed, but that's out of my control i'm afraid. It will affect all programs that rely on the "Sensors" sdk library.
Edit 2: Can you also tell me which roms (OS/Radio) you are using as well, as this will likely be related to the problem in some way (See Edit 1)

As I mentioned in a previous post, Manilla (Touch Flo 3D) is known to cause problems in non-portrait orientations...
The options are in the top of the right softkey menu, there's 3 of them:
Enable Rotation
Enable Sounds
Enable Images

Application is ver similar as gsen in regards to Telus Mobility Diamonds.
Rotation does not work except for within the programs list. Any where else (text messages, ie, etc) absolutely does not work
darn!

Yeah, i'm afraid that's a limitation of the library which has been made availabel to us. It Telus want to go and destroy the ROM/device, then unfortunately we have no control over it. It's like T-Mobile removing 64MB of the RAM when they changed the shell, it's only got 128MB now. I do wish I knew why companies like to bastardise perfectly good phones, then sell them on as if they were the same... It's quite insulting sometimes...

[2008/09/22] New version!
A new version has been released, so have added this post to bump the topic up.
This is a large update, and should be used instead of the older version as it confains various new options and features, as well as performance updates.
Link to information post concerning the updates, as well as download information.

Thanks for this mate,works like a charm.Tried the rotation out on most of my programs and it works flawlessly.My contacts rotate fine and the text message also,the text input even changes to full qwerty keyboard on rotation,amazing.

I've disabled TouchFlo 3D on my device, so unfortunately I can't get the window title/class for it, to add it to the blacklist. If you would be kind enough to find the class for it (i'm guessing the entire today screen) then it can be added to the configuration file for all to see.
I've added the "Applications.ini" file to my server for folk to download. this will be updated more frequently than the application, so keep an eye out for changes

I don't think it likes my Touch Pro. It works fine using File Explorer but that's it. After trying to test it out in the all settings and all programs menus it gives the error that Levka posted.

As other users have stated, as well as myself in the first post, it suffers form the generic error what all programs using the GSensor library. It has been covered in the GSen program info page too...

As previously stated, i'm afraid this is out of my control, although hopefully in the near future, the library will be improved, and will be able to deal with these "different" devices. As soon as support has been improved, i'll be sure to include it in my latest build.

[2008/09/23] New version!
A new version has been released, so have added this post to bump the topic up.

30-01-2009: 0.0.2.45 Mobillityflow Touch-Shell Beta testing

Hello,
I'm following the beta's off the release from Mobillityflow Touch-Shell.
More info: http://www.touch-shell.com/beta
I'm testing this all on my HTC Kaiser (Tytn II) with WM 6.1.
It has a slide-out keyboard, so that explains the screenshots (portrait & landscape)
They release the one beta after the other but don't update what has been changed.
I posted in an other post a review how i thinked about the program with screenshots and they liked my review:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412823).
So i got a free copy!
Because off that i want to follow the beta's more. I started this new post so i can manage the first posts and it's easier to follow the updates for you guys.
For now there are my older reviews in the #2, #3 & #4 post, please tell me what i could test and what you want to see changed in the program (the developers will read it to!)
If there are enough people enjoying, giving feedback, etc. I'll update this post more and more.
It's a bit messy for now
Ow, don't forget to fill in the poll!

Tested on 2009-01-22 Version 0.0.2.28 beta
Today i tought again about this program and installed the new beta.
They don't say what the diffirent is, they just uploaded it.
2009-01-22 Version 0.0.2.28 beta:
Changes I notifced:
It corrected displayed now all the tabs when switching from portrait tot landscape (unlike in earlier versions, see post #22). I do this by sliding out my keyboard on my Kaiser.
BUT when removing to much tabs, it shows something off the last page (see what I marked red in screenshot 7 & 8)

- The music tab seems to function, i miss the buttons repeat and shuffle, but that's all. First time you press play or something else on the page it will load Windows Media Player.
- Everything seems to work smoother (switching to pages, clock animation, weather animation, etc...).
Touch Shell uses 3.3 MB memory on my Kaiser without Windows Media Player playing. With Windows Media Player it uses 3.5 MB
Everything was slowing down when playing music, but i noticed that Windows Media Playser used 33.6 MB (!), so i killed it and everything worked normal again.
I will test this more (I don't think this has anything to do with Touch-Shell).

Older beta test 1/2
1/2
I used many different Today Shells (spb, m2d, m3d, ultimatelaunch, touch-commander, etc.)
Touch-commander was great, but was to simple for me.
What I think is about Touch-Shell (tested it with M2d shutted down):
- It's a program, not a plugin.
- Nice lay-out on my Tytn II (320x240)
BUT when i turn it to landscape by sliding my keyboard out (240x320) sadly enough it doesn't re-allign.
Screenshots:
- The Weather page looks great, many chooses (accuweather & gismeteo) and great graphics.
--- Continued at next post (i may only post 4 images) ---

older beta test 2/2
2/2
- The launcher and contact page are both the same (you can add contacts and programs whatever you want). Disadvantage: one click call, so no link to the contact to choose call or sms, but 1 click calling.
- Music page is just a link to Windows Media player, nothing more!
I was playing music in the background, but you can't see it in the screenshot.
So I think (and hope) it's developing. Support for coreplayer, TCMP, etc.?
- The plugin page, is just 1 page where you can add plugins (hope there will come more support. Like plugins below the clock or something).
- The lowest "menu" where you can choose wich page you wanna go isn't as great as m2d but works fast.
- Choose to close pages you don't use (see plugin page, there i've left the close button)
- Choose the start page (after booting, wake-up)
- Much options if you compare it with m2d: Very short most off the options (hope it will be more)
-Load on Windows start
-Home page: 12/24 hours clock, blinking every 1-5 seconds on or off. Date format (dddd dd MMMM yyy for exapmle)
-Weather page: choose all the citys from AccuWeather or GisMeteo. Units. Connection, choose wich one to use, or default. Auto update interval, show or don't show connection status balloon.
-Plugins page: wich plugins and move them up and down
-Choose wich page is the start page and when to display it (device wakup, device idle for...)
-Switch page visual effect: Horizontal Slide, Page Turn, Rotation and choose a background color
I think it will be a great program, i've played a couple of hours with it.
It is to much beta to say anything really good or really bad about it.
Hope you enjoyed my review (feedback is welcome...)
You can ask questions, the program will stay a couple off days (15?) on my phone .

does it support square screen?

I have installed Touch Shell on my Wizard and is working fine. But it needs to be activated. Please let me know the activation key...

works with vga?

I´ve copied some post from the original post:
BUT, that was before the newer betas come out.
Before it doesn't reallign on my Kaiser (from portrait to landscape), now it does. That does mean that the application probaly is "streched" to the screen where it was before just 240x320 and nothing else.
The best thing you could do is test, make screenshots and post it back here
Answer is short: probaly it does, not sure, test it yourself please.

thank you
i'm waiting for a new release

Touch-Shell v0.0.2.46 is out still not fix the animate weather on HTC Touch and little slow on respond.

I was a big fan of Touch Commander and made many skins for it. Now since getting a Fuze and having TF3D, Touch Shell seems too far behind and is no comparison. It may have taken too long to get Touch Shell going and people might have moved on. (Just my opinion with no facts to back it up)
With the popularity of the Touch Pro / Fuze / Diamond / Touch HD, all with TF3D included, can TS compete? I'll still support them and will most likely purchase when there is a full VGA release and crank out some skins..

VGA has been supported for weeks now ( not sure about official though). I used it on my Diamond but it's still not quite up to speed and is still a little buggy so I again uninstalled it.
Also, TS CAN compete in one way to TF3D. I offers something that TF3D does not: a complete Today Plugin tab within the shell that exactly mimics the traditional Today screen. That one feature sets it apart from any other shell I've used.

But You should to replace original "Skin_landscape.xml" with modiffied by me.

2. To enable the PCM Keyboard skin download the .skin file. Copy it to the PCMKeybard folder in My programs. Then select the keyboard in sms or whatever, hold down the enter button, glide across to options and select "gloss smaller" as your theme, it will take a few seconds to load.

wow! that's looked great! when can we try it?

I like it

Hi addrez91,
Just waiting .. Take your own time.. Please do not rush things, we can wait for a good ROM and will wait.

Looks really nice, will be testing this out when its released.
Thanks for your effort

Ill be releasing it in a couple of days.
It was based on C_shekas rom but im having a few issues. I cant get the camera to work at all which is a bit of a problem lol.
Anyway im going to start afresh on a clean rom so it should give me more program memory and less issues cropping up.
As it stands based on C_shekas rom, i like it. Its quite fast.
My internet speed has been cut to 32kb/s...yes im not kidding you. Australian ISP's are bastards. My maximum download speed it 3kb so it would take me a week to upload the 100mb rom. Thankfully it will be reset on the 18th back to normal speed.

I like it, waiting for first release to flash

Please add video calls to this release.

Wow!!!!!!!! Amazing!! I want it:

Video calls will have to be for the next release.
Its possible, but the png files have to be edited one by one and theres lots....

This ROM looks great. I always look for skins and stuff but I can never make my Polaris look the way I want. This ROM could make a difference. Grat job. Looking forward.

Great look , if Mr. Shekhar work on it , it will be a very good rom, the graphics are very cool, waiting to flash

Well ive managed to delete the Manila program shortcuts in the programs menu, and ive also managed to change the date on the home tab to white, ive also managed to change the left softkey to "phone" instead of the broken "new" link.
I had to revert the dialer back to the original one because you couldnt adjust the in call volume for what ever reason. In saying that, i have skinned some files so it will look pretty much the same. There are alot of dialer pngs to be skinned and ive done just the most basic ones, with the rest coming in due time.
Ive managed to fix the PCM keyboard bug which showed a line of distorted graphics, unfortunately it has introduced another bug. The W key has no label...its just a blank button lol.Manually inserting the .skin files however displays no issues. Ive investigated it and when i edit the cab and put in the .skin files they drop a kb...and when extracted the w png becomes unusable. Why? i have no idea...
The only problem left to fix before i release is the non working camera, this could be related to my radio however, i will download a new radio later tonight when my internet is abck to normal and test.

May I suggest a program addition ? I really like Opera Mini for day by day browsing. It's much faster and easyer to use than Opera Mobile. Of course Opera mobile still remains. Skyfire, latest v9 beta also is verry interesting. It's pretty fast in showing streaming media. It could be usefull also an wifi on/off toggeler shortcut in Programs folder, so if anybody want's to use it can add it into manilla programs.
Great work. Looking forward into flashing it. Does it include Footprints ? I just wonder, if there are tabs dezactivated in Manilla, the RAM memory used remaind the same or is lowered ? I've been using Radio 1.58.32.33 with ROMs having 1.6 driver and Camera is working fine.

Ill add more programs in the next release but for now i might just leave it just Opera.
Ive reskinned the Calculator and i think it looks pretty good, matches the same buttons as the Dialer.
Still havent been able to download the new radio to see if it fixes the camera but in 2 hours exactly i will download a see, and if the camera works ill be uploading the rom.
Ill have to update the front page images to reflect the changes ive made.

what is the memory like. because most roms loaded with eveything just runs slow. nice and slow

Memory isnt *that* bad, hangs around 35mb. Plenty for me at any rate but not sure about others.
Ive tried a new radio but the camera STILL doesnt work. This is starting to piss me off lol.
Ive tried different camera modules from different roms and still nothing. Im going to try installing the original rom and see.
*sigh*

Well im officially calling for some help lol.
I just cant get this the camera working, ive tried different file sets and none will work and i dont know why.
I think it *might* have something to do with the 3D drivers.
Im using UDK's kitchen and i dumped C_shekas OEM and SYS folders straight into it. I think the 3d drivers are still included somehow because i have a total of 84mb of program memory when simply using C_shekhas rom i have a little over 100mb.
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be incredibly helpful because i dont want to release it without the camera working...
Whenever i open the camera it states "Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device.
Its not the radio as ive tried both 1.58 and 1.59. SO im just stumped.

Do you have all dependencies for the camera there? I know it requires mHub (not same as mHubVO) and possible other things.

Ok everyone, here's the newest NFL skinning project I've been working on for my pro2. I liked the way the Eagles one I made for myself came out so much I went ahead and made one for every NFL team so that you guys could enjoy as well. I'd like to present you with my NFL DINIK Keyboard skins. I used DINIK's-Anastasia-Keyboard v2.0 as a base when making them. He also has a newer v3.0 keyboard skin i could use to make a newer set. Let me know what you guys think. Enjoy..
Huge THANKS goes to DINIK for creating all of his amazing skins.. These are HIS Rules and they must be followed here as well! Here they are:

You're always rocking it aren't ya?

I'm having a hell of a time getting a screen shot for you. I've tried resco screen capture and shake and save and even tho i have the keyboard up, it only captures the page behind the keyboard. I also tried with my camera, but i couldn't get a clear pic. any ideas?
The landscape lines up pretty well but it seems like the bottom of the helmet (AZ Cardinals at my nephew's insistence) is cut off at the space bar, but otherwise looks great.
for the portrait it looks like there is a double space bar and a double shift key and the bottom arrow keys are cut off by the bottom menu bar.
If you have any better ideas for a screen shot, let me know and i'll try it.

Try an app called capsure(just tried it and keyboard came up in pic). Get it HERE.
I did have to resize diniks keyboard skin to fit my tp2. Give me a min and I'll edit and attach a few files for you to try n see if it fixes the problem
EDIT: Here are the resized portrait images. Leave the Cardinals(tp2)cab installed and then copy and paste these into your windows folder overwriting the tp2 files then soft-reset. let me know how it works out.

The files you posted brought me back to normal and thanks for the CapSure link, worked like a charm!

Your welcome!! When you say they brought you back to normal you don't mean they are as in the attached pics right? are those from the cab only? Cause those don't look good at all. If they do are aligned correctly with the files I attached, I'll remake them for all teams so that hd2 users can enjoy as well.
Here's the skin I pm'd you about. let me know what you think..

Differnt ROM

Yea they should work just fine.(i'm running stock sprint 6.5) They're uninstallable so go ahead and try it out. Let me know then if everything is aligned correctly.

Thanks for these. They look great!

Hey, how about doing a christmas keyboard that you can add to the CHT Christmas Theme string? I don't know if those guys are aware that your skins can be adjusted to work with HD2. An xmas dialpad would be cool too........aren't I just full of good ideas for things for you to do. If you want to send me a "skinning keyboards/dialers" for dummies I can work on doing it myself too.

Oh wow..I'm sorry ezzie!! For the amount of time I spend on these forums, I can't believe I totally missed this post. That would of been a great idea. I'm alil disappointed I didn't see it in time. I'll def keep the idea in the back of my mind for next christmas
I'd be happy to help you make a few of your own skins! Pm me and let me know how i can help.

Here's a preview of a wp7 skin I'm working on for swype keyboard. I have all portrait images finished and will share it once I have landscape completed. What do you guys think of it?

sweet! are the swype ones hard to do? There are very few of them out there and for some reason none of them are working with my NRGZ ROM.
btw my nephew is really jealous of my AZ Cardinal's phone pad, cursor and keyboard which of course I switched to just for that very reason!
Once again I am in awe of your graphic abilities!

Thanks for the kind words ezzie. Yea i've also noticed there aren't too too many swype skins availabe. Na they actually aren't that bad, they're not any harder than making skins for htc keyboard. If anything it's a little easier because there are no images involved within the .dll file like there is for htc kb. When you say they're not working, do you men the skins or swype itself. If its the skins I'll help see if we can't figure it out
uh huh cause of your nephew lol.. i think it's because your turning into a sports fan before our very eyes!

HA!
It's just the skins that aren't working, swype is fine. (except for when i accidentally delete the files trying to get the skins to work!) I'm not sure when they stopped working either because they used to work just fine with his ROMs and for awhile I wasn't using swype a whole lot. I'll attach the files in a couple of days when I get home from vacation. I'd do it now but my laptop was commandeered the minute I got to my brother's and I'll be lucky to get it back before I leave!

Here are my wp7 skins for swype keyboard I'd like to share with everyone. I've never made a skin for swype and you can see how many different things I've skined. With all the new wp7 phones coming out, I thought a wp7 themed keyboard skin would be a great starting place. I posted a few preview shots a few days ago and just finished them yesterday. I played with them all day and have found no problems(tp2). Please post if you have any problems! Let me know what you think of them. Enjoy..
They work in both portrait and landscape and are available with either a white or black background.
Instructions..
-Make sure you have swype previously installed.
-Install cab to the same directory you installed swype. example if swype is installed to storage card, install the skin to storage card.
-or copy contents of zip to swype directory (program files/swype)
-Soft-reset and your done
