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?

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?

I posted a question in another thread and got no answers, so here it is in its own:
i've got a stock usTmo tp2. If I disable skin of phone dialer (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Security / Phone / Skin change the value of 'Enabled' from 1 to 0) creates problems dialing out through contacts/callHistory. Selecting the phone number in contacs/callHistory will not dial out, as if it lost the link to the dialer. searched here for TP2 tf3d dial call proglems, got nothing, even though I suspect is is something simple that I overlooked. I know a flash junkie's answer to any question is to do a hard reset, but I see this question might have a simple solution that I can't figure out.
I like the oem htc dialer, not the Tmo one, and disabling the skin in my tp1 has no problems at all. Tmo tp2 tf3d is version2.1.38165.1 Is there a way to disable the dialer skin and still be able to use contacts?

... bump ...
Any solution to this problem?
I like the clean oem WM dialer (HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin change the value of 'Enabled' from 1 to 0) , but it creates problems dialing out through contacts/callHistory. Disabling TF3D brings back the ability to dial out from CallHistory/Contacts, which is what I want, but the OEM WM dialer by itself still lacks the autosearch function.
again, SEARCH did not find any useful results. is everyone with usTMO TP2 using the stock TMO dialer?
i am havin the same problems.
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?

A dialer cab what I tried is the following:

Hi guys
Been searching for ages now on the forum and on Google and haven't been able to find the solution to a couple of issues I'm having with Sense 2.5 on the official HTC ROM (which was flashed by HTC on repair of my TP2)
1 - the text messaging is useless (for me) in Sense 2.5. I prefer the original Windows mobile way of messaging - how do I get back to that? SMS doesn't appear in Outlook anymore???
2 - None of my methods that worked in the previous WM6.5 Sense 2.1 ROM for making the Start menu appear in 4 rows seems to work?
3 - Shapps Advanced Config seems to disable my settings? I can't get into Remove programs so can't uninstall? Need to Hard Reset?
If anyone can help with the above I'd be very grateful!
Thanks
Hello,
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614
3. Go to the Manila Settings-Tab. There is a program entry (I don't now how it calls in english ROMs). There you can unistall Software.
Hi ChatFix
Thanks for a quick reply!
I'll have a look at that link now
Unfortunately I didn't explain 3 properly - the settings tab in manilla is not accessible once I install Advanced Config, so there's no way of actually getting back to the Remove Applications icon to be able to uninstall it...

1. I can use Windows Messaging instead of HTC messaging with no problems.
2. I do have this problem, but I believe there is a reg edit specific to 6.5 that my 6.5.5 one does not work on nor does any that were for Sense 2.1.
3. I think your installation of the ROM or Advanced Config is borked. I have no problems at all.
I have found this little tool. So you can disable Manila, uninstall your software and enable manila with the today-settings from windows mobile.
Hi guys!
Thanks for your replies, it's really appreciated
Nagrom - Did you use the link provided by ChatFox to enable use of the Windows Messaging Client rather than the HTC one?
Chatfix - what exactly does that file do? Does it disable the entire Manilla 'home' screen and display the standard Windows Today screen (or WM6.5 Titanium screen) or does it still display the normal Manilla 'home' screen but disable certain parts of the HTC 'wrapper' (e.g. notification bar)
Oh - after the last hard reset, Advanced Config appears to be working OK now, phew!
I'm teetering on the edge of reflashing the old Sense 2.1 ROM, but I really don't want to!
This file disables all Today-Plugins. (Manila 2.5 is still a Today-Plugin)
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.
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.
