For starters: I have the T-Mobile USA HD2.
I installed the DJC BLACK/BLUE dialer, it caused the extended bar issue in the screen shot. Then, I simply uninstalled the dialer, soft reset... and then the issue was present on the default HTC dialer. Also, some of the black shading remained from the BLACK/BLUE dialer on the default HTC dialer, basically corrupting the standard dialer altogether.
So, then I figured that I'd try to install the WM6.5 version of that dialer -- considering it was reported that it was working on WM6.5 without issues... well, it works in landscape, the colors are correct, and everything seems fine; HOWEVER, as you can see by the screen shot, the overlapped (TALL) bar still branches out from the base of the dialer.
IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS? A REGISTRY EDIT? SOMETHING THAT COULD PERHAPS REMOVE THAT BAR OR MAKE IT STANDARD SIZE AGAIN? DOES ANYONE HAVE THE .CAB FILE FOR THE ORIGINAL HTC DIALER? Thanks in advance...
Hi !
Did you check your registry for the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas\LargeBtn and check if the value bLargeBtnLayout is 0 or 1 ?
Not sure it has any effect anyway ; I'm trying to remember where its position is defined (it has been a frequent bug on WM6.5.x cooked ROMs - the opposite problem from yours, but still annoying).
The icons names are Dialer_Contact_down.png and Dialer_Contact_up.png, but their design isn't the problem : they're always rather small and the phone software (and/or registry settings) are responsible for their bad centering.

I have a dutch HTC P4350 and I hate the green today theme.
But when I change the today theme, the device asks for a soft reser and when its again up and running the dailer skin has disappeared.
I only have grey buttons which are ugly (imho).
Has anybody this problem?
Can it be fixed?
I was thinking that the problem is a invalid link in the registry to the default dailer theme because when I restore the original htc green today theme, also the dailer is restored (after a soft reset.)
Can someone help me???
Thanx!
No one has this problem??
Than I think I wil send my 4350 back to HTC for repair....
Too Bad
I have this problem also. I have tried two hard resets and nothing works.
Can't say I've ever used the skin, so don't know what it's doing, but the long way around might be to get the .tsk file (the theme) and decompile it with WinCE Cab manager to see what registry settings it's changing.
Then just ensure that those registry keys stay as they should after changing the theme.
V
hm .. the same problem ... ((((
Hmm, decompiling the tsk file, seems to be difficult.
I spoke to HTC support, but they don't know the problem exist.
Think it's a bug in the rom or ext rom because I have no problem with my HTC P3600.
try this
On my HTC Herald (p4350) the Smart Dialer Application skin has a light gray background and the text (caller/callee, elapsed time, etc.) is in white and therefore barely readable.
I changed the following key
HKLM/Software/HTC/?PhoneCanvas/Task0
in that I changed the value of the REG_DWORDs
DIALER/portrait/text:textColor
DIALER/landscape/text:textColor
from their default value FFFFFF (hex) to 000000 (hex). That changed the color of the text from white to black in both orientation modes (after soft reset).
I tried it on my brand new device and dont have this problem. I changed to the standard windows theme and I got a grey dialerskin (with smart dialing working)
Smart Dialing
I had a problem with the HTC Dialler skin disabling the smart dialling. After reading many forums i gave up on trying to get that particular skin working and opted for one of these http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GH_ShowArticle.asp?HID=35&CATID=1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12 The black skin is a little too black for my liking and was overriding the "HTC new theme". I just changed to another theme and back again and hey presto, colour scheme as I wanted it AND my smart dialler working. Haven't looked at the memory usage yet but seems to work fine after the initial wait on first use.

Thanks anyway for your help.
Have been modifying TP2 with many registry changes etc. Running WM6.1
However, seem to have "lost" part of the standard dialer and have trolled through the forums trying to find what files and .dll are being used by the DEFAULT dialler.
The HTC dialler works fine but I do not like it, so when swapping back to the default dialer, the buttons and keys are there, but where the list of previous numbers should be is just a grey area with no entries. Selecting any area WILL bring up the call record as normal.
I must have deleted\edited\corrupted something..........but even looking through back-ups, can not find a clue!
Otherwise, any clues on JUST a plug in dialer (everything I find seems to be a full package with today and other stuff) - I like the dialler on the TYTN2 - both for size and colour and am trying to replicate this if possible.
Colours and size are good for tapping when driving as here in UK must NOT hold a phone as illegal!
ANy clues on files/which registry keys hold the colours for the HTC keypad etc. would be useful as doesn't seem to be HKLM\security\phone\skin
As loads of views and no answers, transferring to general questions

I know the default Windows Mobile dialer skin is limited but even so I think I am missing something with it. If I open the phone and then begin typing a name the Leo HTC Phone Canvas automatically searches for a name in the contacts list. With the Windows Mobile default dialer this doesn't seem to happen and I can't believe this is a feature MS would have left out?
I have a pretty stock Leo ROM but have changed the Windows Mobile build and added in a few applications. I have been toying around with 5.2.23152 & 5.2.23569 and prefer 5.2.23152 but have the Phone Canvas issues (no Caller ID, Call History etc). I have tried all the 'fixes' posted (replace cprog.exe etc) however none of them fully fix the problems so I thought why not use the default Windows Mobile Dialer Skin? I have set the [HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled] to 0 and have the default skin, however the dial parser (?) doesn't work?
Any pointers?
Andy
Fixed it by not including the Phone Canvas in the build. Bit odd as I thought disabling the Phone Skin would have worked, ahh well...
The skin got to disabled, and some reg needs to be deleted in order for WM dialer to work, if htc dialer is cooked in i think. I am going to search for that thread, will share when I find it.

Yep, the HTC Dialer (Phone Canvas Enhancement 2G v4.2.62520173131.0) would normally be cooked in. Due to the various compatibility issues with this Dialer Canvas and WM 6.5.x I wanted to 'switch it off' and use the default MS Dialer Canvas, but leave the HTC one there so I could switch it on if need be. It looks like I can't just switch it off and need to remove it from the ROM build.
Ho hum, I rebuilt the ROM but excluded the HTC Phone Canvas and the MS one now works as I expected. Although the MS Phone Canvas looks less pretty than the HTC one, it has about the same functionality..... I think I can live with it to get a better WM build.
Does anyone know if the default Windows Mobile Phone Canvas works with the Light Sensor? i.e. can it be configured to turn the screen off when held to your ear? It isn't by default and I have tweaked the various settings via Schaps Advanced config tool but can't get it to work?

Hi,
I've got a HTC Touch HD, with a french ROM : Maw_test3L FRE, without Manilla.
It's a 6.5.3 Windows, buil 28006)
I'va tried to change my dialer skin, with some others dowloaded here (RR3 BW, IPC, Dusk), but nothing to do, it's always the same, I can't change my dialer.
I've tried to change the 1.8 option with HD Tweak (HD or Windows Mobile Standart), but nothing.
I think it's the WM standart (see the picture), and it's really no good, the buttons are too small and the letters are too small for my eyes.
Perhaps is it the ROM ?
Could someone help me ?
Thanks
Its not a standard dialer, it is themed, please make sure the dialer is for your phone because when you install and nothing happens, then it must be that the dialer is for something else and what you have is different.
Please check the thread of the skin to make sure your device is supported or better, look for skins in respective device forum.
