[REQ] QVGA 3G Dialer or port!! - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Okay, does anyone have a 3G dialer that is QVGA? I am using the original Nike one (reskinned) but am finding some incompatabilities with the latest packages where the 2G dialer works fine.
Can anyone tell me which dll's need editing to achieve a port from a WVGA or VGA device? And is the editing just the dialogs or to I need to disassemble and rebuild with IDA (which I have no idea on what to do). Obviously I would need to resize graphics as well .
I am sure that there are still quite a few QVGA users that a craving for an updated 3G dialer, so can anyone jump on board and guide us less fortunate souls
Thanks
DT

yea i'm hoping the mega dial gets ported to cdma n i'll be happy haha

+1 for me!

Kaiser Conversions

Hey,
I wanted to know if anyone knows how to convert the Kaiser cabs to a more appropriate CDMA version. I have no experience in them, so I have no idea where even to begin. I am hoping someone here knows how, and would be kind enough to change them. A few guys on another website are tweaking the original Touch Dialer, which worked well on gsm phones, but had tons of bugs with CDMA (including enabling data, memory leaks, and disabling ## codes). If anyone can do anything, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
The following from the Kaiser is OK to use, I'm running them and can vouce:
Audio Manager
BT Quicklink
Comm Manager
Home Plug-In
You can also run the new X-Button v1.5.1 Build 30229 and I'm running the Beta CDMA HTC Touch dialer from PDAphoneHome too: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/638252-post57.html
Note that the Voice Recorder and the Network Wizard do NOT apply and do NOT work on our phones.

You can dl the cab for the Kaiser Home plugin and it just works. Same goes for Comm Manager and the rest that he mentioned. So in short, you don't have to convert them at all.
The thing to be careful with is with things like the older version of the dialer/network wizard/etc where we KNOW that they don't work. But once the devs update them (like the dialer has been) you should be ok without need for conversions.
yeah, i've been using the 5 tab home from the kaiser, and the touch comm manager, but that's about it. i heard that even the comm manager has some stuff that conflicts with CDMA, which is why i was wondering. I'm also using the beta touch dialer from paul_hammons, and that works great, and i absolutely love it, but I was just wondering about the other stuff, and when/if it will be converted.
Well you can use the audio today plugin and the audio app too AFAIK

Help with Dialpad for Torx iphone theme

Torx's iphone theme is excellent on my Touch (Vogue) except for the dialer. I tried switching from Narg to the other iphone-ish dialpads but they all lock up my Touch when switching from Keypad to Status. I also tried Polen's Vista Dialer but it does not work correctly with your theme. The Stock dialpad is miscolored and the Back button is invisible...aaargh! THERE MUST BE A DIALER THAT WONT LOCK UP MY TOUCH!!!!
Torx has responded:
if someone can get me an official cab of a wm6 dialpad that works flawlessly as far as smartdial and all that jazz..
i can take it all apart and redesign the graphics myself and not have to worry about tinkering the real innards to get features working because thats well out of my scope.
problem is, there so many 3rd party dialers out there and i have no clue which generalized dialpad i can use to base the design off of.. get what im saying?
so it has to be a dialpad .cab that isnt the original wm6 dialpad, but one that EVERYONE can use no matter what phone or brand, cdma or gsm.. etc etc..
Torx has done a tremendous job, and please, Anyone help with this last piece!!
come on guys! someone has to have an official cab...please
most dialpads ive tried so far, the smartdialing doesnt work.

you might want to ask one of the cooks... they might be able to extract the dialpad out from a rom... i think dutty or alex in the kaiser forums might know how to do this. (not trying to call anyone out lol) i just think that it would be awesome if we could get a really cool dialer with all the functions... (including OPTIONAL video) and transparent buttons so that the background can be chosen by the user... its not impossible im sure
Like I said before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321605
The iphone version of DuronMarcel works (smartdial).
If it had the graphics of the other version (narg), it would be perfect.
(sorry my bad english)
can you place the cab for DuronMarcel's? does it work with the Vogue? i tried one before that locked up my Vogue...
I tried the duron marcel dial pad with BA. it doesnt work...
I don't think there is a dialpad can work perfectly with both GSM and CDMA without any loss of functionality.
Most "dialers" that work with cdma phones i have seen are really just skins rather than a true new dialer. Your best bet for creating a iPhone "dialer" for htc cdma phones would be a dialer skin with the format similar to this skin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315685
with the digits spanning the width of the screen and two additional digits on top of the right row.
Of course, I really hope I am wrong, because this arrangement doesn't allow much flexibility.
anyone, please post the official cab for Torx to work on....thanksa!

Depends... Things like TF3D themes then No as they are customized for the screen resolution, ie QVGA, WVGA, VGA, so pick carefully or your flobar will be in the middle of your screen.
Top Icons should be a yes, they all use 32x32 ico files within the dll, so it should be ok, but not tested this. However, I did load so many with my Blackstone and they were all fine. Note that there are CMDA versions and GSM versions.
Pictures you will just have to get 480x800 pictures for backgrounds.

Porting packages from different Resolution??

Hi all
I want to port a dialer from the Photon to the Nike or the EzInput from the Rhodium
I was wondering if I can ask from the guru's who port dialers, Sense, etc from 480x800 to 480x640, etc what actually needs to be edited?
I have IDA and Restorator as well as a hex editor. I would like to learn how to go about this and want some help.
I know pcarvalho at one stage was porting the EzInput 2.1 before the MEGA was released - so I know that it is possible, just want to know how.
The main reason for the EzInput is that the Nike has a hardware keypad that doesn't seem to work with any Ezinput other than v1.5 and then there is a 16key version and a 20key version, so the builds are different - just want a more recent one that is QVGA and works with the hardware input also
Reason for the dialer is to correct a few errors in the MEGA dialer (already corrected the incoming call Position - but Call History is an issue) and I believe that V5 Phone Canvas solves this problem - I would also like to look at a more recent 3G dialer, but the only that I can do for that is look at porting one from a different resolution, as there are no recent QVGA ones. Why the Leo never had 3G video dialing is a mystery to me
Is it possible to add Video dialing to a 2G dialer Canvas?
Anyway, I hope someone can assist me to do this, or at the very least point me in the right direction.
Thanks
DT
that is very hard and i dont know how to make it... look at this OEM pkgs i get from LEO to QVGA maybe you can have an idea makin a diference hex edition

Thanks + Que PPC - I have already ported the power/backlight from the Leo - editing the XMLs is good if the package has them.
I also understand what I am asking is not straight forward; otherwise anyone could be doing it. There are however, those in the XDA community that have the knowhow - I don't mind if the help comes via PM or email so that the inevitable thousand questions and comments aren't there - it is though, something I would like to be able to do, if not just for myself, but to also help the XDA community.
The people with QVGA devices would love to get updated components - the MEGA helped that immensely, but they are still crying out for a decent 3G dialler – I would be able to halve my ROM releases if nothing else with that. I for one want to be able to use a newer Ezinput – one that I can get working with the Nike’s hardware keypad. If that means pain stakingly editing every file in a package, then so be it.
Maybe it is as easy as editing a few XML files with the newer packages – I don’t know, if someone wants to help then I welcome the assistance. We all start somewhere and I wouldn't be able to even cook a ROM if 14months ago people in this community didn't lend their helping hand.
Thanks again, appreciate the input.

[Porting] PhoneCanvas HVGA (Photon) to WVGA (Leo)

Hallo,
can we do that? to finally get a working Phone Canvas on Leo HD2 with Builds 231xx.
Or point me how to do it and i will take the Time and effort to do it.
As i can see only the Phcanhtc.dll and Phcanrc.dll musst be ported all the others r avaialable in WVGA. (plz correct me if i am wrong)

Attached is the Phone Canvas von Photon (HVGA) ROM 1.38 O2

it's not as easy as you maybe think it is.
phonecanvas of hdmini is also dependent on new ime engine and ezinput.
new com3 packages of this are only available in hvga (hdmini) or in wvga (only asian).
the main problem is the differences of the available com3 dialers compared to leo's native dialer.
some have videocall (leo does not support this) and some have missing conference mode for example.
common for most com3 dialers on leo is caller id issue and freezes on incoming calls (from a caller that's in contacts).
currently the best solution is used by most leo-chefs (native leo dialer with fixes for com3).
Phone Canvas of HDmini is not dependent of new ime and ezinput, also if it is dependent of them that will not be the problem.
The most important is to edit phcanhtc.dll to work in WVGA.

I'm sure it's possible to make a perfect port, but it's not going to be easy. Back when people were trying to port wvga to vga, they could never get the incoming call (and I think in-call) to position correctly. amarullz actually created a program to move the entire wvga screen up so that you could slide to answer, etc. This was the best (and only) solution to fully port a wvga phone canvas to vga. I'd think it would be harder to do smaller to bigger, because there is no 'easy' solution like moving the entire incoming call screen up. You can read a lot of stuff in this old thread. It's convoluted, but there are many parts that talk about porting rhodium wvga to vga. The tachi part also had to disable a dual-band phone canvas if I remember correctly, so that may be helpful as well for getting Oboe to work.
if we can disable the Dual SIM in the Oboe Phone Canvas then wee will have a working Phone Canvas for the Leo!

We have in Leo HD2 a Problem with Phone Canvas under Build 231xx or similar.
The Old Phone Canvas 4.2 (2G) has the Caller ID issue.
The new Phone Canvas 5.0 (3G) from Huashan works OK, no caller ID issue but phone Freezes when answering an incoming call because of the ACTIVE Video Call option.
The new Phone Canvas 5.1 (3G, but the Video Call Option is DEACTIVATED) from Oboe works OK, no caller ID issue, no freezing but no out going calls because of the Dual SIM system of the Oboe Phone.
The new Phone Canvas 5.0 (2G) from Photon works OK, no caller ID issue, no freezing but HVGA (leo is WVGA).
To be edited is the Phcanhtc.dll
One of the Following will solve the Problem:
- Editing the new Phone Canvas 5.0 (3G) from Huashan to DEACTIVATE the video call option.
- Porting the new Phone Canvas 5.0 (2G) from Photon (HDmini) to work in WVGA
That is beyond my knowledge.. plz help editing or point me how to do that.
Attached all the 4 Packages

Hello,
I have tested the ported photon phone canvas. I guess dlls and images are used from leo phone canvas to port.
1. Has caller id issue on com 3 build.
2. Has incoming screen position issue.
3. Dialpad hide icon not aligned correctly issue.
4. No landscape support.
So I guess oboe phone canvas hybrid with leo phcan is better to use instead. Of course with phoneredist from com 5.

I do not think that the dll files r from Leo.
I think this is an old Photon (HDmini) Phone Canvas from an old ROM with Build 236xx (or some thing like that) with the old cprog.exe, that is why we get the Caller ID issue with the new Builds!
I send a PN to the poster (3 days ago) asking him if he did the porting and if he can help..... but no answer yet!
I do not think that it is difficult to port the new Photon Phone Canvas because we have many WVGA Templates, i just need to know what to do and where i start... but no 1 want/can tell me that! :-(

Afaik, HDmini started with com 3 itself or the build which has startmenu on bottom.
so if he has really ported photon dlls, then it shouldn't have the position and dialpad icon issue.
BTW; see this post. He has written about one of LEO ROM has 5_0_62120121331_0 phone canvas.
HTC never creates different DPI apps with same build no!
I guess the porting guy wrote photon simple.
@ CRACING
let us say it is a ported HDmini Phone Canvas, can u use it as template to port the new Phone Canvas attached in the first post?!
or can u guid me how to do it (which tools...) because i think u have some programing skills, don't u?

and some thing more..
just a thought and like to share it with u...
The Huashan 0.90 phone canvas:
Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_5_0_61220163232_0
is a 2G phone Canvas, but it needs the Videotelephony Package to work!
May be we can get it to work on our HD2? it is already WVGA.. we just need to find out how to make it works without the Video Telephony package.. or use it as template for porting of the Photon (HDmini) Dialer..
What do u think?

May be but its no use. We already have leo phonecan working on wm6.5.3 (Though it needs phoneredist from com 5) and also hybrid oboe phone canvas.
This ported photon has nothing special. Neither it has landscape support nor it has caller id fixed on com 2 builds.
I'm not so expect in programming but I can understand how they work and lil about hacking.

phcanhtc.dll is neither a XML or De-compilable script nor source. Its a pre built file which cannot be decompiled.
Using IDA and hex tools we can edit some of numbers (i.e position of top bar aka incoming position fix) but its impossible to convert it from 2G to 3G nor HVGA to WVGA.
If it could, experts here in xda did already.
BTW; as of 2G phone canvas from husa, I don't think its really 2G! Because if I remember well, I tried it few days back and saw the video calling switch. But I'm not sure.
Thanks...

We are trying hard to port it. Any of phone canvas but couldn't. I think there aren't anybody who have tried to port. If they do, we would already have it.
We don't know what to be modified, also the exports around here. So how can we tell anything!
L26 is trying to make LEO Phcan working with untouched SYS dlls.
I'm trying to remove video calling and conference on rhod phcan 3G.
But we have no success yet.
Lets see what happens...
