Phone skins for WM6?

Hi,
I've seen a couple of posts on here for Phone skins but wondered if there are any more sites that people know of? Appreciate that it may be a little early seeign as we've just gotten hold of Kyphur & team's excellent ROM.
Thanks in advance

I am assuming that we can just use the same Phone skin cab files as we did for WM5. Is that an accurate assumption?

PaulyA skin does not support video call and smart dialing, so i don't think it is fully support LVSW Edition.
If u need big keys, it is possible to make this version be usable on LVSW Edition.

I like this skin too but I don`t like the big number buttons that covers up the names in smart dialing...is there any reg key that disable the dialpad skin?

I don't have time, just download and install it...if you don't like it, just uninstall it.

I have the March 13th version of the LVSW WM6 ROM. I have never loaded a phone skin before I would like to know how I can load the one posted by nt007 at the top of this thread, or a similar one, on to my phone. Can this be done? How do I get started? Thanks!

This works great on my 8525 running WM6 LVSW.

I figured I'd help out since I was sick in bed today.

This is a beatiful looking dialer but unfortunately lacks 2 core features I have gotten used to using Black's rom - the 'down' scroll wheel to get the Speed Dial list and the ability to use the scroll wheel 'click' to dial.
Are these configurable options?

I like the pictures, but when I install the dialer it doesn't look like that. It has a flat look with a gray background with grey buttons and black text.
Any thoughts.

oops...
how do you revert back to the dialer that originally came with the rom?

Very nice. Two questions though. One, is that your own background? Two, what skin and how did you install it for the upper and lower bars?

Whoa.. OK.. Hold up... Jakaroe808 = JPL4 = PaulyA.com... I have no clue what my WM5 dialers will do to your WM6 device so at this point I would not recommend them.. Unfortunately I do not own a Video equipped Hermes (I'm on an 8525) so I have had no opportunity to design skins for it.. I have however put together one skin for WM6 which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306692
I can also take some requests if anyone is looking for general themes with simple backgrounds.. Please let me know.. I know my site has been untouched for some time but hope to have it updated soon.. Poof..... Steppin Out...

NEW! - Samsung i780 Dialer (128/96 DPI compatiable) 3g

Hi,
I've created a CAB file of the dialer from the UK rom.
It looks like this (Full Screen Size) in 96DPI mode (not small like the default A1/D1/C4 roms dialer):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
p.s the hebrew letters are since my phone is in hebrew the dialer will work on any WWE phone (never tried different languages, you can try).
Installation:
1. Just download the CAB file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/114173615/Nadavi_Nadavi_-_i780_3g_Dialer.cab
2. Install it.
3. SoftReset.
That's it
i like it better then the default one.
Limitation:
After the installation you will have to put all your ringtones in \My Documents if you want to use them.
Enjoy,
Nadavi

Hi Nadavi
Thanks for this - I'm using the MSHC3 rom that you posted, which has this dialer. However, I prefer the dialer that I had before (the default one) - would it be possible for you to create a cab file of the default dialer???
No probs if not

Cool, thanks
Amazing work.
Thank you very much. Now it would be great if someone could make a cab file of the new mouse drivers (the ones that suport right click function by press and holding the navigation button)

what is the point of having 1/2 the device a keyboard, when there is a perfectly working on-screen touch keyboard....
i hate these new devices with the tiny screens.... grr

because we need hold the phone......... using touch screen... lol

Nadavi, do you know how to edit rom file and include this skin directly in it?

when I install this cab I loose access to all my ring tone - cannot select in phone mode, alarms program, etc. after remove it, the rings are back again

Thanx, Nadavi.
It's nice tips for working VideoCall in 96dpi with DXHD1.
Very interesting.

Simply put all your ringtones in \My Documents
And you will be able to select them again.
Nadavi.

talking about the keyboards..when you apply the 96dpi in realvga the keyboard becomes unusually smaller ... which is normal .. is there any skin/work around for making it a bit larger ???
thanks

Resco keyboard gives you a big and decent keyboard with 96dpi.....

nadavi
which hebrew software are you using? how do you get the right to left to work?

As always get it from there: www.pocketcm.com

oh god.
i gotta try this.

Sounds very nice
will test it now
greets doena

Nice. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Will try it right away.

any screen shots?

Can I disable the vibration feedback if I use another program for those?

it doesnt look that nice i liked htctoucher's manilla keyboard. other than that, its great!
i see that you have manilla as a theme, is that supposed to look like htctoucher's?

oh my god.. i just soiled my self.. been worrying that PCM keyboard will become vapor.. and now.. weehee.. i'm in heaven..
thanks tene..
just an afterthought.. is the 0.14 dictionary and skin files still applicable on this new engine/version? because i hate to redo all my added words in my dictionary.. and i've kinda got used - and i mean very USED.. to the point that i no longer look at the screen when i type - to my home made skin.. and i'm still thinking of using them even on this new version..

The word.txt appears to work, but how do I use my old .layout files? Also, what's the settings title bar name? I want to add a whitelist for ftouchsl, but the settings menu covers up the entire screen even if I try to change the window.
If I go through the system Settings page and click Options under Input, I get a popup that says "UserOptionsDlg"

nice. Best SIP ever. I'll have to try the new one.

deleted....

installed fine but couldn't select it as the sip; got a weird popup message (don't remember it now).

same here doesn't work as expected in my vga screen

thank you for sharing ..let me try this

+1 for the popup when trying to go into options menu "UserOptionsDlg"
other than that it seems as fast and functional as know for
the only thing that kept it from beeing perfect for me was the bug with the word suggestion, when you had to hit the back button to get a number to send a message to

I took a look at the manila.zip.. and it has all the images.
for some reason though, the keyboard, when selected as manila skin, does not look like it is using the png images.
dream and manila look the same, i cant seem to switch between (or there is no difference registering).
does it show up for you tene? or any one else?

everytime I choose a different skin other than the 2 defaults "Dream" & "manilla" it reverts back to 1 of them. Are the previous .zip skins still compatible with this version?

This new version wouldn't even let me open the options. I get a pop up & when I click ok, it doesn't open.

Thank youuuU!!

go into messaging then bring up keyboard then choose PCM keyboard...once the default PCM keyboard pop's up then hold down on the PCM keyboard "Return" key which will then pop up to allow to change "options".

wow, please more!!!

Thanks a lot. The originals arent very good.
Is it possible to make the text (The one in the buttons) smaller and thinner and the same font as manila?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah sure, in registry, go to..
"HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\BarFnt"
Here you will find a few interesting keys,
"It" for Italic (default: 0, set to 1 to enable)
"Nm" for Name (default: Tahoma)
"Ht" for Font-height (default: 800)
"Wt" for Font-weight (default: 700)
So, what you wanna do is change the Nm key to either "HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin" or "HelveticaNeueOTS", depending on which of the Manila fonts you want. And also, you may want to decrease the Wt key value to make the font "thinner", and decrease the "Ht" key value to make it "smaller".
Hope this helps

Yeah, that information helped. Now it looks like the picture.
I guess that it would be harder to change the colour on the "ok" button to green and the "cancel" button to red? Is it possible?
Maybe a change of the win logo too?

The graphic behind the winlogo/OK/cancel -buttons (which I have changed in this thread) is the same one for all three, nothing I can do there sorry. You could however change the icons themselves, i.e. make the winlogo red instead of white, and so forth. This requires some DLL editing though, and I won't be getting into that now, sorry.
Search the forum for "windows icon edit" or something, and in that DLL you will most probably find the OK and X button as well if you want to edit them.

Okey. Sounds a bit too hard for me but maybe one day .
Thanks a lot for the great tray bar anyway.

Hmm, is this for QVGA? When tried on my WVGA Diamond 2, it seems distorted, and very small.
It also creates two icons in my start menu. For the record, I am running WM 6.5.1 build 23506.
Great idea though, hope it evolves well.

screen shots?
I'm going to try it though. Been looking for one of these.
[edit]
definately not VGA. But installs and operates very simply though. Good work!
[/edit]

I like it. It does look kinda funny on my vga touch pro, but it definetly works. Made about 10 czlls using it, and each went though flawlessly. Overll it could some UI tweaks, but its headed in the right direction. Hope it stays free Thank you for posting your work, and i look forward to any updates.
dschoenike

how do you initiate call once you dial the number on the pad? if i hit the green call button it brings up contacts.

Yea.....its QVGA.
Looks like I'll need different versions...(didn't think the anchoring would hold for all resolutions)
QVGA - 240 X 320....but a screenshot gives me an image that is about 240 X 268.
Whats the exact size of VGA? Needs to be exact.

looking forward to a vga version. thanks

Working good on my Touch Pro. Can't wait for the vga version, good work.
In my start menu, I have two entries "GoVoMo (1)" and "GoVoMo". The second one works, the one with (1) doesn't seem to do anything??

The .CAB has been updated with the 2 shortcut fix...
I hope...
Can't recreate the problem on my device.

For me, clicking the icon with the 1 next to it, adds the today screen shortcut. The icon w/out the 1 opens the app itself. I dont mind it. Kinda handy actually.

Ah, I guess since I use Touch Flo, I didn't notice any change.
In Windows on my desktop, I can right click a short cut to see exactly what it is doing. I don't know how to do the same in Windows Mobile. Otherwise I could compare the two shortcuts....

Can you make for WVGA resolution too? resolution size is 480x800. Thanks!

VGA Beta now available. Could someone send me a screenshot or two?
Had to debug\resize with that doggy emulator. 1 pixel off and you end up with mystery scrollbars and who knows what...
