My attempts at some ActionScreen graphics

Version 2. I wanted to make it look a little less "busy" so I gave it more of a see-through effect and each button is very slightly different, fitting in with a complete screen image, if you see what I mean.
Also matched the ROM colour better.
B/W version added as an alternative
Unzip files and copy to /Windows using TotalCommander or something similar.
As usual, every button you press on your PDA is at your own risk ;-)
Hope you like them

I like this one, good work

I like what you have done so I did as instructed... now how to I get it? Sorry for the obviously not smart question but I've been up since 7am yesterday and it's now 915am... yes time for bed! My brain isn't working!

have you already installed HTC ActionScreen?

Do that first, otherwise you don't actually have the application ;-)

Very nice - I like them!

This fits my our ROM nicely!

Hey DaVince - where did you get those HTC Home icons from? They look great!

which launcher is that below the htc home plugin? I'm currently using claunch, but that one looks good.

Plugins shown in order:
1. HTC Home
2. Quick Launcher
3. Windows Mobile 6.1 Getting Started
4. Device Owner
It's the WM 6.1 ROM for the Touch Dual by tom_codon. Once officially released, I'm sure somebody will extract them and post it here.

Good Work....
Tks for sharing!!!

Thanks for sharing
U the man. I copied all AS files excepts for the AS_Bkgd_1.brn file and found a very nice result. Your new graphic on top of the old one. Very nice. Tried it.
Thanks again.

what am I doing wrong? I installed the app, copied files to windows and still showing the old skin.

Black?

Please, it is possible to create black version of this awesome graphics? I am lame for this graphical stuff

I'll see if I have time
See first post for b/w version

also.. anyone have a better icon for Action Screen app?
The default is only that boring white square

To replace the icon
I think you have to use a Resource Editor.
Correct me if I'm wrong somebody?

Changing the icon of a .lnk file

I was wondering this exact thing the other day!
edit the .lnk file to have this:
48#"\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"?<Path of icon or DLL>,<index of that icon>
Go to http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5154243&messageID=9583160 for more details. They talk about it in the last 2 or 3 posts.
@davehutch - I love the Action Screen graphic. I'm using it and pumped!

Nice graphics. Thanks a lot

New 3G Dialer Skin

This is one of my personal skins for the dialer in udK's ROM and Bepes, OTHERS I DONT KNOW ABOUT (so long as the layout looks like that it should be OK)
Use at your own risk... I will not be responsible for anything...this install will overwrite original dialer graphic files..so if you need to revert back...BACKUP FIRST!
This for both portrait and landscape modes
Install
Extract to a folder on storage card and move/copy to windows folder (I use Total Commander)
I have attached 2 cab files...for the complete installation of the Dialer, Progress and Call Log screens...
Please remember these are UNINSTALLABLE and your phone will need a hard reset to get rid of them.

great dail-pad !
anything in black ?

Great work bro, just missing the progress screen.
Cheers.

I ve done one ...have a look....if you like it I will post it.
I am also working on the Call Log Screen...but cannot get the dll bitmaps right....see the 2nd picture.

Progress looks nice, but why not the same colour scheme like dialer white, black and green on top??
Call log screen looks nice and clean also, I´d appreciate if u share them.
Thanks my friend.

Here is a modified Progress Screen
Copy files from zip to \windows
add the reg file to the registry...

this is really goodlooking... the only problem for me is the fact that this dialer.. (this is Nadavi's dialer no?).. has small buttons... in relation to the original dialer.

Thank you for the regs I've trying to figgur how to change the collor of the text in the progress window and now I found it this will make my Diamond skin Dialer perfect Thanks ever so much

Nicely done bro. Just missing the call log screen to be one of best dialers around.
Cheers.

Here is the modified Call Log Screens...I have created 2 variations, one white/grey and on green...
To install
1.I recommend you backup phcanoverbmp.dll in the \Windows folder
2. Unzip and copy to \windows ...reset.
Please remember the icons in the white/grey dialer are a bit dodgy..if someone wants to attempt to rectify them....use reshacker with phcanoverbmp.dll and modify the 9 bmp images

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!
Please feel free to post your designs in my thread, it would be great if we can build a resource all in one place, then I can try to get the thread title updated.

thats for htc dialer

There actually a couple of skins included in Panosha's Shimple ROM, I haven't had chance to check them out yet because I only flashed it last night.

[SKN] Ferrari/Red Bull/Random Dialer Skins (Standard+Tachi)

Added new Random skin in post 4. (hope to do some other crazy ones as well )
This first post will have the Standard Dialer Skins in it. See post two for the Tachi type.
Installation: Copy CAB to phone, install, SOFT RESET.
If there are any problems uninstalling the CABs, just install either the Original Standard Skin.CAB or the Original Tachi skin.CAB (found in post 4)
Thanks to everyone for all the help.
Let me know if you like them

Tachi Skins
Tachi skins here, they will look the same as the sample above, it's just the Tachi dialer is slightly different and I couldn't be bothered to do a samples image . Didn't realise you can only have 8 uploads per post . remaining files will be in post 4 lol.

Just wanted to say that im loving these ideas/works you've come up with b/c I LOVE FERRARI'S!!! would this work on the newest htc tachi dialer that was ported? and also what would be awesome....could you make these into cab files to install w/the option that there able to be uninstalled in case one didnt like them?? that would be perfect and im sure many would use them including me!!!

Red Bull V2 Standard Skin
Random Standard Skin
Random Tachi Skin
Original Standard Skin
Original Tachi Skin

xavierdemon said:
Thanks for the comments , I don't know if they would work with Tachi dialer as I don't have that installed. I presume they would as the Tachi dialer doesn't affect the Keypad me thinks
Will download Tachi's cab and have a look at the files and see what I can do. In regards to a CAB for the skins, I'm sure it's possible, will just have to learn how to make CABs . But it's not hard to just copy the files to the Windows directory and remember to backup the exsisting files if you do want to revert back.
UPDATE. Ok, so have had a look at the Tachi files, it would appear that the keypad is lightly different, so my skins are not going to work with it . However, I'll just do a set of new compatible ones later , in regards to the curtain for Tachi's dialer, I can't seem to locate the BMP for it but i'll keep looking. CABs, have downloaded a piece of software to generate them but haven't had time to play yet but it is something I'll try to get working.
UPDATE 2: I've uploaded a Tachi compatible skin for the dialer, I don't have Tachi's Dialer installed, so I can't test. Should work though (I hope - need a guinea pig/volunteer please to test). If the new Tachi skin test works, I will create the other styles
I have been trying to make all the skins in CAB form and it does work, however when uninstalling the CABS, it just deletes the files off the phone, which isn't bad for the dialer as this just regenerates itself but the Curtain just dissappears . Haven't worked out how to make the CABs backup the files they are replacing and then revert back to them when uninstalling (I actually don't think this is possible anyway). So the best way is to just copy the files with Total Commander or Resco explorer and then SOFT RESET. I stress to backup the files your replacing to enable you to return your phone to normal if your not happy.

Hey,
Thanks for the idea!
I have the New Tachi Port on my phone...with Xmoda TF3D2!, and I unzipped ur Red Bull Racing...and it works perfect!
Let people know that they need to make sure to Backup all their info!
Is it possible that you could Post the process u did to creat ur zips....
I was toying with a couple pics...but ran into some issues with the transperency...
Once again it does work with New Tachi Port...
There is a thread open with Skins for the new Tachi...You might wanna head up there for more traffic!

Thanks acidbath,
You have confused me now as I thought Tachi's Dialer was different to the standard HTC one and that the skins I'd made wouldn't work lol (That's why I made the test one). I'll just have to bite the bullet and install Tachi's Dialer and do some tests myself.
Glad you liked the Red Bull Skin
As I mentioned before, I'd really like to do all the teams but as I stated, can't find good resolution brandings or logos, if anyone has some please post.
Thanks in advance.
HOLD ON!!!!!! just noticed your attached image acidbath, it's not working properly as your missing the TALK button and others underneath the keypad . So as I suspected the current skins DON'T work for Tachi's dialer. If you could try the Ferrari Test, which is in post 4 and post another image, so I can see how that looks and if all is well, I get to work and create the other styles

Was just playing around and made these:
Just copy files to Windows Directory using Total Commander or newest version of Resco explorer and then SOFT RESET. I suggest backing up the original files (These are: Assets_dialer_Normal.bmp and Assets_dialer_Pressed.bmp files) first, in case you want to revert back.

I think that the best way to ask for a change or mod to someone's newly developed hack or mod, is being a little nicer...
Be less critical and more polite!
Just a random observation for what its worth.
Just hoping we can keep threads positive and with gratitude!

Thanks for the suggestion vishalkishnani,
I'll have a look at completely colourising the entire keypad, once the new Tachi compatible skins have been completed.
Blood Red and Yellow text, ermm, hope nobody suffers from Epilepsy. Would hate to be the first person in history to mod a phone that causes Epilepsy by just trying to dial from it

Well if u can have all the buttons Red in color (red color of ferrari) with Image of Horse in Yellow background (just like the avatar of yours) overallping few keys that would be great. Believe me your dialer would be rage on the board, coz i just love the ferrari Idea of yours and I am sure everybody else would also like to showcase Ferrari on their Diamond to others.
PS: You can always have a cautionary notice that " I am not responsible for your Mobile Being Damaged due to installation of My Dialer or Either Damages to your Eyes getting Epilepsy" hehehe
Cheers

It's not a bad idea, have actually been looking at the correct RGB levels for the offiicial Ferrari Red and Yellow and have found them. Am working on it
For those guys who have been trying the Red Bull Type 2 Tachi.zip in post 4. I did post this as a test, if anyone has actually installed it, could you please post a screen and some feedback on it's usability a visual quality.
Thanks in advance.

screenshot for Redbull test2
Here is the screenshot for latest test...
Looks great...all buttons working corresctly..
It does make the number a little to transparent though.
But I have my Lumos Backlight jacked up pretty high...so not an issue for me...but when i adjusted my settings to auto adjust it was pretty difficult...
Let me know ur next test..
My girl likes it to

here is a random pic i found...
Hey man...here is a random pic I found...thought it would look nice..

Cal-El's Clocks for new Hero style Manila 2.5

Here are some Clock cabs I made for the new Hero style Manila 2.5! One will give you clear flip panels and a blue tinted background with white letters! The other black flip pannels with white letters and a green tinted background! I noticed there are not many mods for the new Manila 2.5 so I wanted to get some started! Enjoy friends!

thanx looks good

Great stuff. Thanks

Hmm can't seem to get this to work.

Doesn't work on my tp2. why?

Hi ppl...
@ Cal-El,
Nice job man... But for my EnergyRom I wanted a mix of both of your clocks.
So I've downloaded them (and joined forces ) and came up with a new variant that fits really well with the rom colours. Check it out! Once again thank you.
BTW, I have an Xperia X1.

outta curiousity how did you combine them, i like the look that you achieved, any chance of making a cab for it or explaining how to join forces lol thanks

Hi VETTE, sorry for the late answer...
I'll provide the clock for sure and try to explain for you, it's no big deal.
First I gathered the two cabs, then extract them with WinCE cab manager and then used manila editor to see wich files belonged to wich part of the clock.
So I wanted the blue background (there is a file just for that) and all the rest, black number background and everything else, from the green one. I just copied the files from the green clock and the file for the blue background to windows directory and it's done.
Never forget to disable HTC Sense before doing anything, also make sure the attribute files checked in the properties are "archive", "read only" and "system" before copying them to windows dir. And last but the most important, make backups of the files, we never know what can go wrong.
Cheers.

This is slightly off topic, but how do you get the calendar part under the clock to actually give upcoming appointments instead of saying the word "calendar"? Also, is there a way to add tasks to the home tab?
