The files are most likely hidden, you will have to change the properties of the file or change the settings on your pc to see hidden files

even if they become unhidden, i dont think you can switch them out on your device because the files are cooked into the ROM, therefore undeleteable...if thats a word lol
Could also find a cab for the dialer your using and pull the files from the cab edit them the way you want and then put them back in the cab and install
Dialer BMP
Here is my dialer bmp files from sprint cdma Rhodium.
Just edit, put in windows reset phone
Thanks for the info.
Well I made my new dialer and i like the looks of it but can anyone point me in the direction of the background file or any other file that are associated with the overall screen when you press the phone? I hate the white background. Thanks for your help.

Just to get this clear...
Do I simply back up my other GIFs and BMPs and overwrite them with these ones?
What about the .ini file?
Sorry, now I've read the ReadMe file
But I tried to copy out my old files and can only see the bmp files in Explorer on my PC. If I ask for the folder properties, the PC knows the gifs are in there but just won't show them. Any ideas?

That's no problem, yuou need photoshop or fireworks to view gif files. Maybe paint will view them also, i don't know
davehutch, yes in order to backup your existing dialler files you just need to copy the files in your PPC "windows" folder to a desktop folder. If you don't see all the files on desktop, go in Tools -> Folder Options and make sure that "Hide Protected Operating System Files" is not ticked.
I made a backup of the files and was able to restore backto default skin by just copying the files back.
Kept the intelidialler skin though ;-) I liked that, much neater than the default.
I'm trying to figure out how to assign icons back to file types from the default program used.
As you can see in the first image, the icons are blank for my .jpg files. Currently, SPB Imageer is the app that opens it by default. For some reason, I dont know how, but the icons change to the blank ones.
In the second image, the address bar shows the key in the registry to change the default icon image for jpg files.
The third image shows the string. What number do I put to use the Imageer icon for jpg files or any other app that you may want. That number you see was put by me and it does not work.
Other apps use different numbers for there own icons for the file types that they are associated with. Some examples are: Opera uses -131, TCPMP uses -1000, WMplayer uses -2002, Word uses -13072, PowerPoint uses -200
How do I find out the number??
Try the Pike Icon editor. I forgot where I got it, and couldn't figure it out after I had it installed. Maybe if you try this and are able to do something with it,you can help me. I know it's a cab file unzipped from a zip file.Cingular 8125ROM 2.25.11.1

Ive got a question about using ResHacker...what file format do the icons have to be in? Ive got them in .ico also I am trying to put a icon to an application that doesnt currently have one do you know how I can do this in Res Hacker
In SKtools: I'm having problems with the icon format as well...any idea what format its looking for?
I guess I spoke to soon about them running perfect
How to
In ResHacker open file u want to change the icon of, then hit the action button, and then replace icon. However, with some .exe or .dll files u cannot change there icons.
any help on this one. I have shortcut creator and for some reason when i point it to the Lnk file then to the ico file it just makes a duplicate and renames the old .bak. the icons don't change?
I tried the sk iconmaker and it won't show any of my ico files in the folder.
how can you change icons?
Well, You could do it manually. To change the icon of all shortcuts download a registry editor (PHM RegEdit is free and great), Then goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inkfile\defaulticon.Edit the string value "default" to the path to the icon you whant all shortcuts to have. The path must lead to a exe, dll or ico file.

Great useful thread. Thanks.
Concerning icons I like to add this thread
I've been using the unskinned dialer on my Vogue for the last couple weeks because its much snappier and features an embedded call history. However, after looking at some of the new Diamond custom dialers I've realized I'm not happy with the default skin, so I started pouring over the Windows directory looking for the images that govern the unskinned dialer in hopes I could directly skin it instead of using the dialer overlays.
I was able to find a few files of use, in particular the gifs that control the background color for the call and end keys, the call history images on the left (for call missed/out/in), and the background image. But after changing the files via TotalCommander and soft-resetting, I see no change.
Is there any way to do this without cooking? And does anyone know where else files might be kept for editing this dialer?
ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated.
I'm curious about this too. I've looked all over, but havent been able to find what i'm looking for. Is there a PSD somewhere for the iphone-ish dialers that has the correct splits and things to create our own?
The custom dialers are an alternative to the original dialer...
Look at the files in the CABs for custom dialers, and you will see they have a different set of files. Look at those, and edit them as you want.
Yes, but the custom dialers lose the embedded call history functionality and are sluggish in comparison with wm's default dialer. I don't mind having to cook a rom to get this to work, but I still don't know where all of the images are stored, particularly the ones for the actual number buttons. And perhaps an xml file governing their placement?

Okay...
Maybe this will work...
In the dll files related to the dialer (can't remember there names off hand), there will be graphic files that can be replaced...
Okay, after much searching (now that I knew what I was looking for), I've come up with a list of dlls that may be related:
phcanhtc.dll
phcanoverBMP.dll
dpadmenu.dll
tapres2.dll
tapres.dll.0409.mui
tapres.dll
also, the reg key hklm/security/resover might allow something
Only problem is I realized after continued reading that some of the info I got was related to wm5 roms trying to get smartdialing working like wm6....so if anyone could help me narrow down which dlls are the right ones to edit, that would be fantastic!
also, whats the best way to edit dll and mui files?

phcanhtc.dll -- Contains some BMPs/images
phcanoverBMP.dll -- Contains most of the images
dpadmenu.dll -- Is to do with the dialer workings... Contains no images (I think)
tapres2.dll -- may contain some images
tapres.dll.0409.mui -- is localisation. Mostly just text strings, but may be some images
tapres.dll -- may contain some images
I use "ResHacker" to open up dlls and modify them...
Just tried copying the needed dlls over to my storage card, tried both totalCommander and RescoExplorer, with flight mode off/on, can't get access to tapres.dll, tapres.96.dll, or tapres.dll.0409.mui
Edit: Thanks for the info and the heads up on reshack!
That may be a problem... I'd guess they need to be cooked into the ROM, in which case it may be easiest to take a ROM, dump it, edit the files there, rebuild it and then flash it...
Yeah, I just realized they're rom files and I can't get at them this way.
But I was able to successfully edit phcanoverBMP and change the call history icons.
Thanks for all your help, its cooking time

No probs!
There are also some files in the WM5 ROM I've dumped in an OEM pack called "Phone_DPI_96" that may be of interest...
they are:
Code:
backarrow_glyph.gif
clg_in.gif
clg_miss.gif
clg_out.gif
cmdpad_land.gif
cmdpad_port.gif
cmdpad_sqre.gif
dialpad_land.gif
dialpad_port.gif
dialpad_sqre.gif
anything beginning with "dlr"
handset_glyph.gif
spd_lst.gif
Okay, so I got ahold of a kitchen, but when I found the tapres dlls in the sys folder, they're not compiled -- its a bin file, 2 txts, and an s000. Reshack can't do anything with these files. What do I do?
You need to use "Reversemode" to turn those into a dll, then you can edit that.
I googled reversemode, and all I came up with was reversemode.com which didn't look like any sort of software that would help with this.

well this seems to be a brick wall. no matter which file I try to use revresmode on, it says it doesn't work on .net files.
Thanks for the help anyways tho.
I don't know about changing the font of the dialer, but you can change the dialer within the rom contents (only the buttons and background) I found that there are two separate folders in the SYS folder. the files are read only. unlock them and edit in photoshop. you don't have to relock them to cook them back in, just save them in the same exact format they were in before you unchecked the "readonly". That is how I edited mine. I have no idea why why anyone would bother trying to mess with the dll's?!!!

Weird its not letting me transfer the file to my phone.
you don't even need to put it in the \Windows folder, just put it in \My Documents
I like the colors of the top & bottom bars (on TmoUS) but it makes the light blue network icons from tsowen's taskbar hardly viewable

Extract the attached zip file on to your storage card, and copy the files to the Windows directory on your phone. Let me know if it works or not.
