Tired of your ugly Dialer Skin?

I finally got tired of the ugly dialer skin that comes with t-mobile roms. I know there is a cingular one out there and I have found a few other sites with limited skins. Well I thought I would give it a try and make my own Photoshoping part came easy, but I don't really have a clue on creating .cab files at all.
I created a test run skin of the oh so fine, Scarlett Johansen. Please feel free to download and give feedback. I will be creating some more in the future.
Also, if anyone out there is a wiz on creating cab files, any help you could give...
And one last thing... anyone know where to find TRUE windows mobile 5 themes?!
Thanks,
Jess

Thanks - is it possible to give screen shots please. WM5 true themes are rare - i've not found a site that does them. Look in 'My today screen' thread in this forum - i've posted a few including one recent.
Use Ben Thon's themegen ce to create true wm5 themes and look at microsoft's guava bubbles.tsk to see how its done properly.

screen shot
I don't have anything installed on my wizard to take a screen shot, but I'll try to make a mock up on photoshop and post it.
unless anyone out there can suggest a good screen capture utility?
Thanks, and that's for the support!

As you are into photo manip, use Pocket Xnview, also has a screen capture facility. http://www.xnviewpocket.org/

Ok here is a screen shot
Keep in mind, this is only my first, I'll get more experiemental the more I mess around I want to create theme packages... today screens, dialer screens, and ring tone-sounds that are all the same theme.
Thanks, Jess

A complete theme package
I have found how windows mobile 5 themes are created now after examining some files. therefore I think imma build a total theme package. today theme, dialer skin, and ringtones. If I'm feeling really adventurous, maybe media player skins as well??
so I was thinking a superman theme or starwars, etc.
Any ideas anyone?
I figured it as time I gave some back to the wizard community!
Thanks, Jess

man of steel! Cool!

that looks cool.
How about something for the girls? Johnny Depp, maybe?

Well put together jess - good job! (not sure my wife will like it though lol!)
btw how did you create the wooden dialer buttons? - i tried to for a wooden dialer i was putting together and just could not get them right. Yours look good might pinch them for my own! lol One comment though - i feel the talk button should be in green not red :wink:
Your cab seems well put together the only hint is to get rid of the initial destination dialog - see here on how to change xml file to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=60772
Windows media player skins are easier than phone dialers see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58398
look forward to more skins

Jess,
Looks good so far. I have poked around with some of the same stuff you are now. I did it all when I had WM2003SE because that is all that was out then. I found that the OS didn't always want to display the images correctly. and would bounce back to the system default for some of the buttons, mostly when you pushed them down and while you were in a call.
I hope for your sake you can over come the issues I fought then and begin making your own dialer skins.
You also may want to take a look at http://paulya.com/etenskins.htm He has created some skins for the Nice looking E-Ten dialer. It works seamlessly with my 8125 and I loooovvvveeee the way that the skins handle much better than the defaults. I'm pretty sure that the images work very simillarly. Give it a look.

Could you throw a leopard skin background on that, my wife would love that on her 8125. If you need a picture let me know, I have one in particular that she'd like.
Thanks and good work.

I would like to second the request for a leopard print one!!!

Leopard skin
A leopard print skin... sure thing! I am finishing finals so it will be a few days, but hopefully this next week or two I can get a website up for posting theme files.
Post an example jpg of a leopard print if you like.
BTW, still wondering if anyone out there is a savvy cab file creator, Im using a GUI right now that works ok, but for test purposes only and expires soon.
-Jess

hi jess
may i ask u 4 something
could u b so kind to explain how 2 do it ourselves
this way i can use private photoes and prepare some 4 my friends
thanks again

I'm in the process of creating a leopard skin total theme (dialer, smart dialer, today theme, ringtones) for those of you who asked. After that I am gonna have to build a more manly one lol. It will be available shortly ( like I said, finishing finals for summer term! )
Guys, gimme any ideas for a complete theme!
For those of you who enquired about how to do this yourself... keep in mind, im not using some little app that makes this simple, like a theme generator or anything. There are files and registry values associated with the dialer skin and the smart dialer. Just replacing these these will work, but it's difinately better to create a new directory with new files names and then reference them with new registry values. This way if you goof up or wanna change anything back, you can do so without a hard reset.
I started this lil project because I have searched and searched for true mobile 5 themes and dialer skins with little or no luck. I am very glad to see so many interested. I will certainly share the information to anyone that likes, I just wanna make sure you know what you are getting yourself into

hi jess
god my wife was going to kill me , "who is that girl and y z she opssing in ur phone?"
could u put something NEUTRAL as a backgroud ?
thanks dear
one thing more
could u explain how u did it ? so a retard like me can have his own
thanks again

Green WM theme?
Hi Jess.
My suggestion for another "complete" theme (Dialer skin, Today themes, etc etc) would of course be an all WM5 Greenish style theme.... I already have the "HTC_default" green today theme, but it seems kind of lame to have the blue background on everything else...
If my wish could be taken under consideration, I'd be a happier man. :lol:

I am working on a few at the moment...
One a leopard print style another windows vista style.
I am however having set backs, since I just installed vista RC1 and am working out some kinks.
Thanks for the input and patience, Jess

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!

Phone dialer skins

I have been doing some hunting and I am struggling to find any VGA phone dialer skins. I use the standards windows mobile dialer to save memory and make the phone more responsive.
There is one I am aware of which I think is called Black Carbon - not sure who made it - but its not really what I want.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Unzip files to windows directory and be happy!
Is not Carbon but is completly baclk and i love it, personaly.
PD: Soft-reset after update files
Bye2

I quite like that thanks. I specifically wanted something that was not Carbon, so this was something nice to try.
It is a little err black for me perhaps! Looking for more of a selection as well, just surprised that there are not more VGA dialer skins for the WinMo dialer even created for another device.

The problem is that most existing skins are QVGA!
More information and a couple of skins with transparent buttons can be found in the thread, see my signature.

It was the guy from the QVGA skin thread, Raceit, who inspired me to download photoshop. I've also got WinCE Cab Manager to make them into CABs but I haven't quite figured out what I'm doing with it yet!

Energy ROM skin development(updated test dialer)

UPDATE: 4-16-09 Tried an update on the Wait cursor only cab
UPDATE 3-30-09: added the registry entries for battery in waitcursor skin
added wait cursor only cab. If someone can tell me who made the original taskbar, I will give full credit in this post. Thanks
updated dialer skin(thid will only work on VGA devices with HTC or ATT slide dialer.
The purpose of this thread is to keep skin discussions and ideas for the Energy ROM in one location, and to save space on NRGZ28's thread.
I am working on skinning some components for the ENergy ROM, full list will be at bottom. I'm basically trying to add to the already great look of the ROM without adding too much(like the Elite project which looks great). Please post any ideas, and if you are graphically talented at all you can help out in the process. I am planning on making a few variations on some skins for people to choose from. These may or may not be cooked into the ROM, or even better installed during customization for people who like the plain old stuff
I am very busy right now moving from QVGA to VGA, and have my fingers into all sorts of stuff(skinning, ROM cooking, and some other things). Any help with skinning would be greatly appreciated. I have a great deal of knowledge for skinning almost all aspects of Winmo, so if you want to skin something but are not sure how to go about it just ask. There are some great tutorials and resources at www.SkinZone.org if you haven't been there yet, I suggest to have a look. There is a great team of skinners there and we are all willing to help with any issues you might have.
Please use this thread as a central meeting place to discuss ideas and share skins that will go good with the Energy ROM. Sorry if I missed something, I made a really nice thread yesterday, but it was lost in the fire(XDA was hacked or something yesterday)
Progress so far:
-Wait Cursor: Made this for Energy ROM, but decided to share as most of the kitchens I have been using include the same taskbar icons and stuff. The attatched cab is a full taskbar replacement, as well as the cursor. This uses no additional RAM or programs, as it is just replacing the stock items.
-"White" Energy wallpaper: This is most likely going to be used as a background image for Dialer, Commanager, Thumbcal, etc. I am posting it here incase any skinners on the same ROM would like to help out.
-Dialer: Uploaded second test dialer. Should flow better with the call history up top.
To Come:
In no specific order, I bounce around a lot so whatever gets done first gets done.
-Full dialer with in call and curtain
-Communication manager. Need some help on this. The new Rhodium Commanager with enhancements uses a different background than the Diamond or Kaiser commanager. Diamond one uses P_BG.png, which I found and changed but has no effect on this commanager for some reason. Anybody with a cab or OEM of this? Is it someything built into the new manilla? if so can you point me to tje right manilla file?
-iContactBE: Using some of the new notification icons and colors to compliment the new Manilla interface
-Thumcal: again to compliment the new Manilla and incorporate the "White" Energy BG
-PocketCM Keyboard
-Windows Media Player skin
-TP2 Calculator
-Resco Explorer\Registry
-Opera Splash Screen
-suggestions?
Skins I would like to see from others( feel free to skin the above list as well)
-PocketCM contacts
-Yota dialer/contact replacement
-S2U2
-Opera?
-Anything you wanna skin
Please see following posts for screens. I will update this thread as needed(when I have time) If you post a skin you can PM me and I will add it to the first page. I'll be attatching items wherever for now until the collection grows.

Sory, didnt realize I needed to add the registry entries for batery. Should be a cab floating around in the "FlenixNover customizing taskbar thread". Updating the cab now. should be ready in about 15 minutes. If someone could tell me the creator of the original taskbar icons, I would like to give credit in the first post.

ok thanx my man i seen you posted it i dled it and all is aaaaaaaaaa ok lol thanx!!! love that new wait cursor its soo bad ass!!! great job!!

Awesome. I will have to cook this stuff in the next release...

Thanks NRG, making this stuff special for your ROM, since thats the one I like until I figure out how to cook all those goodies in myself
Anyone using the Energy ROM, please do post opinions on some of this stuff so we can get a good looking ROM. Don't want to just hear " I dont like this" or "I dont like that", if you dont like it either post a suggestion or skin it yourself.

jmckeejr.... from PA.... you would not happen to have a relative named Joannie would you?

Not really sure. Haven't been to the family reunion in like 10 years.

JM,
Here is what I came up with for MWC 3. Hope you like it!

I started doing that, then got sidetracked. Looks good, I stopped using MWC because the transparent parts would stick sometimes. I mean when I switched to a different program or page there would be a square where the transparency was. Is that fixed in the new version?

hey bud I think your doing awesome work please keep it up

That was a problem with 2.2. So far, I haven't seen it with 3. There is also an option to set up a 'time out' on the cursor, so it stops after the length of time that you set it for.

hey i just noticed that when i installed just the new wait cursor you made, it works and all but sometimes you see the old wm spin wheel behind it....it flickers behind it thus making you see both of them which is odd...that shouldn't happen. so i just wanted to point that out to you so that it can be fixed cause that wait cursor sir.....is FANTASTIC!!!
P.S.---- I was wondering can you make a cab file with just the new icons for the stuff you see in the settings etc...they come along in the topbar wait cursor cab but i would just like those seperate if possible!! THANX A MIL!!

I'll look into the dll file in the wait only cab/. Maybe I left an old image in there or something, couldnt test it. Gonna be busy a couple days though, so I would suggest to use the full one for now. I cant stand the stock icons up top. I dont know if I should cab up just the icons, cuz I didnt make em. If you wanted you could just extract the files and overwrite them into your windows folder. phcanpverbmp.dll, tapres.dll, and I think I have outres.dll in there. I do plan on continuing this stuff, but right now I'm sort of trying to learn how to cook my own ROMs.
I'd like to be able to cook a ROM with all the core apps I use. Not having a problem cooking them, its just trying to get all the updated packages from rhodium that are already ported. I need a few more and then I can really start. And then I can cook in all the skins from skinzone.org as well.

Hi jmckeejr,
Having a look at the jmckeejr_waitcursor.zip that you posted on the Raphael OEM Repository. Noticed that the .RGU file seems to be adjusting the Battery registry settings.
Are these .RGU settings actually required or can I simply replace Shellres.192.dll.0409.mui with your version to get the wait cursor? Reason I ask is that I am using the TP2 Color Icons which change the registry settings for the battery.
Cheers,

The cab is over 37mb so it is hosted on my web site. It is manila 2.5 2013.

Added cab for just Blue Talk buttons -it is a 14mb file bc there are dll files involved

Looks Good
Nice Job, I like the look.

The cab file downloads. So what are you saying?

question...
this looks great and would love to use this but have a few questions..I have tried Mighty (awesome ROM), I have used 7PPC (Dave Morley--very awesome) and now I am using Mr X's latest ROM..I wanted to know first how is this dialer reacting with Mighty ROM as I simply cant get this custom thing right when it comes to the dialer funtionality..I seem to get hung up trying to slide the dialer ( nearly an every day issue and when it occures I cant even answer the call)..I am guessing it could be my custom taskbar--tried to use the purian/tsowen one on the Mighty link as well the CDMA bilbo-mighty taskbar with not much luck as well..I really like the tasbar you have as well but not sure of the process (do you need sdk, nue battery etc or can you just download the cab?)--are you having any issues with this one? sorry for the long note..Your work looks great and figured I would ask..thanks again

I have no issues. And for the dialer I just flipped the pressed and normal dialers. It is a BMP file and just changed the names so that the black dialer is normal. If you want just the dialer I can cab that for you.

First post.

Updated Blue
Hosted Elsewhere-see first post for a link to my web site.

Ah this would be so awesome and would complete my blue theme on my phone!!!
But these aren't for Sense 2.1 are they... . I installed the dialer a few days back and the numbers were off-centered so had to uninstall it.

2.1

Would you consider an upgrade of your rom. It is easy and sense 2.5 has a lot more to offer.
But if you are sticking with the 2.1-I am sorry because I just deleted the cab I made for 2.1 when I finshed the 2.5 cab-just because it was hosted off XDA and taking up space.
I still have the 2.1 black dialer though. Install and soft reset.

just blue Talk Buttons
Someone pmd me for just blue talk buttons-Here they are: It is a big file because there are dll files involved

"Upgrade" to 2.5? Haha it's like going from XP to Vista ;p.

You may be right. I guess the drive to be more iphone like motivates htc. But I like the weather on the home and the program links with finger scrolling. I gave up 2.1 a while ago but I can see why you might want to keep it.
I also upgraded to vista.
