Im just curious, but how do you manually install a dialer skin? I have found alot of dialer skins for the mogul that are really cool, but they are not in .Cab format. I'm not exactly sure how to manually install one. Could someone please give me some info. Thanks a ton in advance.

what i do is install the big button dialer for the mogul and then the touch dialer skin cab on to the main memory to skin my phone with the default skin.
From there in the root there is a folder that says Phone Skin.
Now from here I can either photoshop the skin available or replace it with others that I find else where.
So once I install this big button dialer, there shoudl be a folder in the root directory that I can install the other skins?

If you install the big button dialer cab for the mogul. It will replace the dialer skins that are on the phone already but it wont have the Vouge buttons.
If you want to still use the Vogue type of buttons install the Touch skin cab to go with it and once you do this will place a folder in the root : not \Windows, where you can customize, delete and replace for others that you might like. I found out by experimenting and it worked for me.
I will hunt these two skins down, and start experimenting myself.

If you want i can send you the Big Button Dialer CAB, and the Touch Skin CAB that way you can start skinning from here.
Just PM and i'll send it to you or I'll upload it later because I dont have it with me at the moment (School)
Her is the Big Button Dialer cab along with the Touch Skin Cab for those that need it.
Install the Big Button Dialer cab first then the Touch. After your done soft reset your phone. This should work on all TITAN phones. It says mogul but it works on my XV6800.
Skin problems...
Okay, I've installed the Big Button thing, and then the touch skin, but when I restarted, all of the buttons are fine, except for the 1 button, which appears as the native Mogul dialer button for 1, which looks distinctly out of place. Functions fine, just looks ugly, any fix for this?

Erm, sorry, not quite advanced enough to grasp that. Is that a folder\file thing or a registry thing, if it's a registry thing, where do I edit the phone's registry?
Edit: Nevermind, remembered that HKCU is a registry path, the rest is now obvious, just need to find a registry editor.
Edit 2: Found a registry editor, problem now occurs that "Access is denied" when I try and edit that particular registry entry.

Hey can you post some of these?
"Now from here I can either photoshop the skin available or replace it with others that I find else where."
or explain a little bit how to photoshop them? I am familiar with photoshop so I dont need a walk thru, but there are 26 graphic files in the PhoneSkin directory. Which to edit?
Also, I followed these instructions and your downloads, but when I push a button, the whole button turns white. really all I am looking to do is have it turn the matching blue when I press a key (the same blue that's in the dialer window by default)
thanks.

sorry for not being clear on my post. there is a program called tdial designer by tiermann ( search for it) and this will help you creat your own skinable dialer.
this will even fix the issue when you press a button and have receive a white button display. just chose your dialer carefully. i recommend the bluefrog aka new vouge dialer.
the regurlar vouge dialer will impair some functions on your phone. once you create the skin, it will generate the picture files and a cab for you to install.
the reason why i mentioned photoshop is that i add more details onto my dialer skins and modify them more ' to look unique ' or to stand out.
hope this is what you needed.
Oh no need to apologize, your posts are great.
I do have the Tdial Designer v1.1.0
I have the BlueFrog Big Button Dialer installed
I open the Tdial Designer (TDD) and from the Options > Dialer I choose "BlueFrog (or new Touch)". Everything looks great until I click on w=one of the buttons, then the same issue arises, it just whites out the whole key. The options below the "Down:" options are no longer available. If I switch back to Options > Dialer I choose "HTC Vouge (or old Touch)", then the "Down:" options are available. I hope this makes sense.
I did try to save a few that I was testing. Looks like it outputs the files and a cab file. Am I better off just copying the files into the PhoneSkin directory or running the actual cab?
Thanks again for the help
best regeditor in my op!

but its editing through the PC and not the PPC so you cannot do on the fly editing... but I love the full 22" screen editing of my Mogul's registry

I recommend using the CAB. Because the image files only displays the dialer in standalone more ( not in use ) but the CAB once designed properly will show a customized dialer that includes the smart dialer color customization, and even the buttons when they are pressed.
I will load up a picture of how one of my alien-reanimation themed dialer looks, along with the cab if you want to install it.
thanks for sending that it is very cool. The issue I am having now is that when I install the cab it is not over riding the default one. do I need to uninstall the blue frog dialer? when I install your cab, the default dialer comes up and not yours. I look in the remove applications and what I believe is yours is listed as MyPhoneSkin. I just cant seem to get the new themes, yours or mine to apply to the phone.

No worries. I just need some information from you first.
Do you have a stock ROM on your phone or a Custom one (for example a DCD ROM)
(uninstall all previous custom dialers you have installed; Then )
If you have a DCD ROM then all you would have to do is install my cab or yours and soft reset ( reboot ) and the new dialer should show up now.
If you have a stock ROM you would first have to install the Mogul Big Button Dialer CAB ( dont worry it a universal CAB for all 6800's ) that I will provide -- Soft reset and see if you notice a new dialer ( you might get a dialer with no dial pad, this is normal) from here install your own custom CAB that you have made or mine and soft reset to notice the change.
hey cool deal, OK I got it working. I have dcd 2.3.2 rom. I reinstalled the mogul dialer, then yours and it worked. However, when I push the buttons, the blue highlight comes on, but it is the whole key, I cannot see the number below it. Which I guess isn't an issue cause you cant see it when my finger is pushing it anyway! but I wanna make sure that this is acting properly. thanks again

hello i have try it but it doesn't work???
Sorry, i´m just a normal user. Works for me on a wizard.
I just copied the DialerRes.dll to the inesoft folder (backup of the original .dll), overwrite the original DialerRes.dll, soft reset and voila, it works perfect.
maybe a dev knows a bit more. There were no other instructions on 4pda.ru.
Can this DialerRes.dll mod be used on inesoft phone 5?
No but mine will, just skinned it as best i could to make it blacker.

Hi Elliotboney, can you please post a screenshot of this? Also, where would the file go? Windows\Program Files\Inesoft Phone? I don't have a file by the same name there to replace. I have DialerResVga.dll even though my phone is HTC TD2 with WVGA.
I tried Elliotboney's skin, but it was not WVGA, so I made my own blacker dialer skin
If you want it, then shut down the running process of Inesoft Dialer.exe and replace the DialerResVga.dll file in \Program Files\Inesoft Phone. No soft reset is needed. Just press the green phone button and voila.
Can you show the skin in "answering mode"? I like the windows default but i can not make it appear with the inesoft. Is there any way that i can use inesoft but with the original WM 6.5 dialer skin? Actually it is the "answering" skin that i liked....
Any Program to modify DialerRes.all ??

I grew tired of trying new ROM every other day. I want to try if a stock ROM will be good enough for me. I do not need Manila - I replace it with SPB MS. The stock dialer does not support landscape. I use the phone in my car in landscape (mostly navigation), when someone calls dialed switches the device to portrait and it stays portrait. If I use MS dialer, everything is fine, but MS dialer cannot change the in-call volume.
Is there a CAB that can deliver landscape capable HTC dialer? Only the dialer nothing else needed. Thanks for help.
Hi!
I'm using my Blackstone in the car too, and I'd like exactly the same thing what you want.
I found any dialer cabs from rhodium. As I reed rhodium has the same dialer as Blackstone but is able to rotate for landscape. But I installed all this cabs and finally I have always the original standard skin not that what I saw on the preview by rhodium.
I don't know why?
Anybody know the answer?
B.
A dialer cab what I tried is the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521815 - by optional downloads
And I'm using the original HD ROM with manila 1.3
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.
