Diamondish Dialskins for CDMA & GSM Touch Dialers Update:Aug3-2008 Updated Version!
Diamondish Dialer skins by [email protected]$ and superflysocal.
Most of the credit goes to [email protected]$ for initiating the graphics of this skin. I just added some finishing touches.
Update August 3, 2008: Vx.04 and Vx.34 WhiteGreen and BlackGreen dialers have now been finally updated with the new call history, back arrows, and darkened Progress Screen to match the rest of the series. There is also a new Green indialer screen courtesy of Bluemetalaxe (with his permission of course). Big Thanks to Bluemetalaxe for his permission.
Update July 25,2008: Vx.14, Vx.24, Vx.44, Vx.54 White and Black Dialers now with more darkened progress screen and more contrast with the grid along with the previous revised graphics. This should match more of the Diamond themes out there. See below.
NEW VERSION OUT SEE BELOW
Versions Vx.6 and Vx.7 has a black or white dialskin with a carbonfiber look/gray background. See post #8 and 9.

We put in a lot of work on this. Feel free to modify the graphics for your own use. If you would like to share your modified work, then post it on this thread. If you want to use it outside of this thread (ie custom ROM, own dialer thread, etc.) I would appreciate if you ask us first.
For those who want the diamond look for a dialer but have not had success with other dialers due to lack of smartdialing, bugs, or 911 compatibility issues, we have created Black and White style Diamond dialer skins for Touch layout dialers. It was written for Touch dialers that time tested for their stability and compatibilty. These are only a skin for the dialer and should not affect 911, smartdial, redial, ##*# functions, etc.
I have decided to start a new thread since the old one contains so many post of bugs and failures. I have redid all the cabs and they have all tested well so far. I can update the thread better than [email protected]$ right now, so he has given me permission to start a new thread. Old thread is here:

These dialers are written for and tested on 3 different types of Touch dialers:
V2: CDMA Titan phone w/ BigButton Dialer or BlueFrog_Touch Dialer installed. These will install into the \Phoneskin folder.
V3: All other CDMA Touch dialer layout (all Touch phones). Make sure on the Progress In Call page, there is a separate Call and End buttons, before you pick this version. Some GSM phone with this type of Progress In call page will work with this as well. See second image of this post. These will install into the \windows folder.
V4: GSM Phones with HTC Dialer.cab or Wizard_reTouched_Dialer.cab installed. Make sure on your Progress In call page, that there is an End button that turns into a Call button after you hang up, before you pick this version. See third image of this post. If you have a separate Call Button and End Button on the Progress In call page at the same time, then use Version V3 (see above). These will also install onto \windows.
If you have these type of phones but they don't install in these directories, please post your phone and where the graphic files are suppose to go.
Caveat: These dialers disables the "text" on the progress (during call) page. The disadvantage of using icons instead of text here is that some of the buttons change state after you hang up. There are two instances: On the touch dialers (non-titan), the Speakerphone button becomes the Call History button after you hang up. On the titan with Big Button/BlueFrog dialer installed, in addition to this, the mute button becomes a save button if the number you justtalked to is not on your contact list. On this dialer, the icons will not reflect this change. Thus, although the function of the buttons will change after you hang up, visually the icon will not reflect this. There is no way around this. If this bothers you, don't use this skin!(Or you can use Tom108 modification linked at the end of this post which doesn't have icons on the progress page)
Installation: Make sure you have a Touch style dialer such as stock Touch dialer, HTC Dialer.cab I inlcuded below (for GSM only), or Mogul Big Button dialer (or one of its variant like the BlueFrog dialer i included on this post). Download the correct verison of the cab for the dialer skin you want. If after the cab install it doesn't ask you to soft reset, then it is highly recommended that you use a software soft reset instead of the button on your device. I have included a SmartUtilities cab below that will install a software soft reset (just go to Start->Program->Soft Reset..a German pop up will appear, select the left button to soft reset). The alternative is to wait about 5 or longer minutes before doing a soft reset, but even then it is not guaranteed the registry will stick.
Uninstall: If you have a stock Touch dialer like Sprint Touch or Touch dialer built into your ROM, when you uninstall, it should revert you back to your old default skin. For titan user with Big Button or GSM user with HTC Dialer or wizrd_reTouched dialers installed, when you do an uninstall, your default images will be lost. To recover, reinstall your dialer cab (Big Button, BlueFrog, HTC Dialer, etc.). If the text on the Progress screen doesn't reappear, try looking here:

!Warning! Use this Dialer at your own risk.
I am not liable for any damages what so ever

please mention me and forum xda as credited sources.
Enjoy.
Please make sure you download the right version for your phone/dialer (see above).
They can be found on the posts that follows (2-6).
I have also included on this first post a copy of BlueFrog Dialer cab (the latest variant of Mogull Big Button Dialer by Paul Hammond) which is required for CDMA Titan phones only, as well as a copy of the HTC Touch Dialer which is for non-Touch GSM PHONES ONLY. CDMA and GSM Touch phones with stock touch dialers should work without any additional cabs. If you have a phone with a custom dialer cooked into a custom ROM, then it will probably work, but it depends on the layout of your progress in-call screen. Read the versions explanantion above for details.
Others have contributed by making some modifications that suits their needs. I will post their links here:

Sorry for a probably studid question. But can this beatiful dialer be used on a HTC P3600 (trinity)?
And if it is possible, how do I do it?
Thanks

I assume that is a GSM phone. Does your default or current dialer have the same layout as the screen shots you see? If so, then just try installing the skin.
IF not, then uninstall any previous installed dialers, then install the HTC dialer.cab on the first post and see if all functions work well. If it does, then install one of the V4 skins.
really nice collections...
Thanks...
The rest of the titan versions have been uploaded.

It should, but these dialers do not support video calling.

they work fine on my polaris... install HTC Dialer.cab first tho.
I have got it working with Smartdialing on HTC Touch Cruise. I used the "Diamondish WhiteGreen Dialerv3.31.cab"
Thanks for the great job. Only the left star button stays black. see image. But it works great.
Hi Guys
I have problem with WM6.5 Default Dialer When I Didn't add any

the package and i made the phone skin Enabled : 0 i mean that
problem solved in WM 6.5 Default Dialer )
but there is another problem became and its don't show any contacts
Up of the keypad ( WM 6.5 Default Dialer ) i can see the scrollbar
but i cant see any contacts look like the font color is White Maybe
Can any body solve my problem please

i forget to say again my Device is DIAMOND
I'm having the same problem, did you find any solution?
You have to remove TouchFlo Package i think removing that package will work with only
in build 23001 or later
good luck
Actually I solved my problem using the CAB at the end of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3951575
Thanks anyway for your help.
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.
Can anyone tell me what dialer this is and where to get a cab?
Thanks

Looks like standard Windows Mobile 6.5.X dialer
Sascha
Cheers Sascha. I thought it might be, but I can't find a cab for it. I have the X2 dialer at the mo (cooked in the ROM) but I want to replace it as it can't do touch tones.
Anyone any idea where I might get a cab, or do I just have to remove the X2 dialer? In which case, how?
That's the default unskinned dialer. In my device all you need to do is change a registry value (go here for more).
This should have been posted in QnA...
Thanks that worked great!
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?
