Phone app Skin

Hi..
I have always felt the Skin on the phone app is so boring..
I just stumble over DailPad Maker ..
I LOVE it..
http://www.hkscorpio.com/members/bong/
Its easy to work in and install ( and uninstall if U don't like it).
Best Regards .. Carlis

hmmm....
These are all free, always. Only work in portrait mode.
Cheers

Why don't they work in landscape? What happens if you change to landscape?

Ur skins on Ur page are realy beutyful ..
Thank you..
.. Carlis ..

Thanks for the comments! If you switch to landscape you will just use the default landscape dialler skin. The authors of the skin program have gone awol so despite my suggestions they are not listening.

Why don't you just go to the site and read for yourself?

I liked the psk skins until I started dialing a number, and noticed that the buttons revert back to their defaults when held down, and the Jam intellidialer overlaps the background image. It prolly always did this, but it wasnt noticable on the original background.
When I uninstalled pskinstaller, the buttons on phone went really ugly Any way to revert to defaults? I am using 'My Blue' for now, which looks ok, but the buttons are still reverting back to their original look when pressed down (only when pressed down, as soon as you let go of them, the skin reappears)

original phone background
Hi,
I feel boring with O2 phone background.
How to delete it or to make it to default windows mobile 2003 se?
Thanks!
Arto

the buttons revert to the OEM look when depressed because the bitmap for the depressed button is located in a dll that is much harder to manipulate. "skin choosers" for the phone app, actually only rename and replace about 18 different bmps (i think) located in the windows dir. If you explore to the windows dir and view by type of file, it isn't hard to figure out which ones i'm talking about.
Do a search on this forum for "phone skins" or "depressed" and/or "buttons". I know there are several posts concerning this subject. There are even a few different dlls floating around that will change the look of the depressed buttons.....
Good luck!

[APP] Simplest working workaround for Landscape TF3D

Inspired by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471295
Instruction:
Make sure that that TF3D installed and works like it should in portrait mode
Get latest MortScript from here. Tested with latest beta (preferable).
Install MortScript on your X1
Unzip attached script and put in your \Windows\StartUp (or localized name) folder on your X1
Softreset (or run script manually)
Report
The basic idea is VERY simple - just prevent screen rotation while TF3D is active and allow landscape for any other apps.
Script dynamically switches between landscape and portrait modes if keyboard is unfolded and device is switched from TF3D to “normal” app or vice versa.
If you are using standalone SPb Mobile Shell (not as a panel) this script prevent show "SPb Now screen" on wakeup if TF3D is onscreen.
Now with real prevention of landscape for TF3D.
Drawback - camera button remapped to right softkey while TF3D is on screen. Looking for solution.
Version History:
v1.0
+ Initial Version
v1.1
+ Added ability to autodisable "SPb Now on wakeup" while TF3D on screen
v1.3
+ Real prevention of landscape for TF3D. Camera button not functional while TF3D is on screen.
v1.4
+ While TF3D is on screen right softkey button works as camera button
+ If TF3D isn't on screen right softkey buttion works as right softkey (hardcoded)
Please include in report TF3D version (source) and type of TF3D use (Today/Panel).

I like simple and effective solutions, kudos

OK, so test it.
And don't forget to report.

Just developed new script for people who use SPb Mobile Shell not as a panel.
I’m personally prefer use SPb Mobile Shell in that way because I like fullscreen look and feel of Mobile Shell (and Mobile Shell Panel doesn’t support Russian).
This script include functionality of TF3D landscape workaround plus prevent SPb “Now Screen” to be shown in case that TF3D active.
If you don’t have SPb Mobile Shell you can use this script as well, it will function only as TF3D landscape workaround in that case.
Installation instruction in first post.

Just tried it. It works. When the phone switch to landscape mode when you slide out the keyboard, it switches it back to portrait mode.
Although i really wished that this script stops TF3d to switch to landscape mode entirely. so we dont see that ugly ass half pixelated screen at all

It's just my first mobile script.
I'll try to find out is total prevention possible becase I don't like ugly screen on nice device too.
But anyway it's better to have ugly screen for 1-2 seconds than ugly screen all the time.

Just developed new solution with real prevention of landscape for TF3D.
Drawback that camera button not works while TF3D on screen. Looking for solution.
New version in first post.

1.3 works fine, camera has no issues.
using Itje 2.2 tf3d as today plug In

1.3 works, but it disabled the camera button as stated
Using UK generic ROM, tf3d as panel. fix it fix fix fix fix!
Thanks btw!

Just wondering how you got yours to work? I have the same ROM as yours, but nothing works on my phone...won't go into portrait mode at all

did you follow the instructions exactly? do you get any error messages?
i originally used the version of this with the spb fix in it (for no reason than I could) then replaced the 1.3 file. Can't see how that would make any difference.
I am using the b10 of mortscript btw, but don't think that makes any difference.
Karlson nice script, I might try some different plugins, if I can get the old BIG VGA home plugin working from the x7500 that would look great in landscape. I've never been that impressed by this action screen..
Think about it I might just try some of my old Rltoday screens.

Very nice fix
my TF3D screen doesn't rotate anymore Thank you

Share your ideas - I can make more scripts for any automation.

Just published new version.
Camera button remaped to right softkey.
If TF3D isn't active right softkey works as default (hardcoded).
Please post any suggestion especially if you need different right softkey functionality.

Well, it would be nice if you could wrap a small UI around your app. Perhaps a landscape disable "toggle" and right softkey remap toggle as well? I'm going to try it again, see what it does now.

for TF3D, I have Version 3.0 (Build 32076) <-- This one came with itje's Touch-IT Xperience ROM v.2.2
for MortScript, I'm using the latest one from the link you provided

using V1.4 looks better
just a little problem though, when i slide out my keyboard it kick back to portrait then came back to landscape --> improvement, it stay in landscape, last try it will always kick back to portrait.
when i slide in, it close the cmEXlandscape perfectly
GREAT JOB!
THANKS!!
Cheers

Has anyone tried this with TF3D as a panel?
Also, what happens when I slide open the keyboard, does it rotate back to portrait or does it show the tabs, but as shortcuts on the screen?

Simply irresistible offer
I'd realy like to use my right softkey to start recording voice notes (single press to star recording, not "record while holding")

Gyrator issue solved?

I know this has came up before but i am not sure if this is solved.
I download the gyrator and everything is fine. However whenever I lock the phone I can rotate the TF3D screen. Once it is in landscape mode, half of the screen is mess up. Is there any instruction to disable rotation when the phone is locked?
thanks for advice in advance.

Same here , I couldnt find out HOW

I'm not sure even where to begin (please use search as this has been solved like 5 times over; not that it was really a problem to begin with, just an issue). But to save you time this once (SEARCH) here's a couple options.
If you want to keep using Gyrator: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448141 (that itself has two different solutions, one applied to probably what you have done and have auto-rotate everything and then exclude certain things and the other is rotate only things which you want rotated (probably better, definitally safer and less buggy)).
Furthermore you can change from Gyrator to Gsen or ChangeScreen(probably better as it's dumbed down and made really simple but still very effective) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488&highlight=rotate
Lastly (not really, I just don't feel like typing more) you can change your ROM to Dutty's as it runs on the new manila v3 which allows for landscape rotation (Dutty's is not the only ROM that has it, so once again, you have choices here as well).

You need to set Gyrator so it doesn't rotate in the lock screen, manilla should already be disabled but when the phone is locked manilla is not the foremost app anymore. To do this add a new event above Rotate, Edit the event and call it something like Disable (Lock), set the Application to Dialog, set orentation to portrait, set Actions to Rotate screen. Click apply then Click and hold the new event and set it as Orientation and click apply again. This will also stop your email from auto rotating in message view, but if you go to landscape in the list view you can still work in landscape for email and SMS.

I already did so, thank you. But I really wanted to get manilla working in landscape mode with the standard ROM. I saw it working fine with other cooked ROMs but not with mine. The only way to solve this is to flash with a newer ROM ? Or there is a cab to solve this issue ?

New rom
Hi there, I believe your problem stems from the fact that your version of manila does not support landscape viewing. Having tried a few things with varying success, I flashed to Duttys 2.1 rom and am glad to have done so. It's a far superior experience with hugely improved notifications, faster response times, more storage space free on the HD itself and it also rotates manila without glitching the backgrounds.
I recommend you try it

Actually the dealer told me that I would lose the warranty if I flash the device with non official ROM. Also my ROM is not found on the internet ( 1.14.488.3 WWE )

no current stock rom runs on manila v3 and therefore no stock rom supports landscape. In order to avoid voiding warranty, you can flash the rom using USPL (keeps original SPL) and then before sanding your phone in for w/e reason you simply flash back to original rom (by either backing yours up or chances are it's already posted in the wiki ROM section as they have most of them). If you were to send in the phone with a none stock rom, they may or may not refuse to fix it because technically you have voided the warranty (but if you flash it back to original rom using USPL, then they have no idea)

TF3D in Landscape without any Software

Hey I found something in a german forum,
i´ve tested it and i can say it works great
http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showpost.php?p=1217332&postcount=1
In english:
1. HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila -> add a new String Value with the name "EnableLandscape" and the value "true" (both without "")
2. HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName -> add a new String Value with the name "TF3D" and the value "\Windows\manila.exe" (both without "")
3. HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList -> add a new String Value: Name: "TF3D Value: "Manila" (both without "")
do a softreset and its done

There are more Apps, which you can use:
see this thread

yepp! can confirm, works fine on my D2 too!
thanx, cool info

This is great. Nice find.

Only attempt to rotate - Start button and bar on the top, and Phone and Camera titles on the bottom will rotate and then immediately rotate back without movin' phone

Rotation is OK. My question is: Is it possible to have landscape on the other side (if this is 270 degrees I wont landscape on 90 degrees). I think this can be done changing some registry value. But which?

cab to make the g-sensor work for landscape texting ?

hi everyone,
I was looking and looking for a cab file so I can text in the landscape mode with out using the slide keyboard, but I couldnt find anything, some people told me to look for G-config but I didnt find it

I had this problem too, look for rhodium keyboard config or something in the software worth installing thread. I just pressed the mute key twice to make it go into landscape and it's sweeet
