Hello I just got a new 8525 and installed the LVSW_RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.30.0.9 ROM I used to have WIzard with the WM6 and the [BETA] WM6 Dailer Skin - Big Buttons & Smartdail http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297530
I looked around but couldnt find anything like that for the Hermes, My fingers are too big for the regular dialer. Thanks in advance.
I know there's a few threads around with some bigger than usual dialr skins. I see what I uncover for.

Yes tried see the skins but I dont see the big buttons like the wizard
How about the iPhone themed dialer pad? Thats pretty big.
The skin in that link looks a lot like the ETen Dialer. You can use the ETen Dialer on the Hermes, in fact, it's what I use because of my "fat" fingers.
The downside is that the default ETen Dialer disables the smart-dial feature - this doesn't affect me because I don't use it. There is a thread around here somewhere on getting smart-dial to work with ETen.

Hmm I was trying to search for ETEN in hermes forum and nothing on the skin can I just try that skin from wizard ?
I coudn't tell you if you could use the one for the Wizard - I'm still learning tricks on my Hermes as well (I just got mine back in February).
There is a website (http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.html) that has some of the ETen dialer skins. I use Classic by JPL, in light blue, since it (sort of) matches the old Windows Mobile 5 theme, which I prefer over the black theme in the Black ROM.
Some of the ETen skins will cover up the "last caller" information in portrait mode, so try the different skins and see what you like.

Tried the skin from the wizard and it doesnt work I like the smartdial and like/need the big buttons damit I`m stuck.....
I also would love a bigger dialer skin.......the vista skin I had for my wizard was great! It was the one that had the gel buttons.....man I sure do miss it. I guess this is probably the thing I miss the most.
Well I pretty much found what I was looking for, it doesnt use WM6 style buttons or smartdial but its big buttons with smartdial, the color kinda sucks for me, but its better then nothing take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297797 POST #10

Hallo!

dialer skin for wm2003 ?
Any one know the way to change the dialer skin like eten skin for windows mobile 2003
I've tried that, OK it works...
But when i uninstall it i don't manage to recover the original HTC skin (background is missing).
Can you help me ?
These skins are all very nice - but I'd rather just have bigger buttons for my fairly average sized fingers.
Any suggestions ?
same here
I'm tying to get nicer and bigger buttons for my fat fingers on my Orbit/Artemis, if anyone has links to how to do this that would be great!

its the best working skin for artemis.
icons of call history works perfect.
the only problem that i have is that when i'm on a call,the white letters of the person that i call and the duration of the call going to a deep green color that with the gray backround its hard to see it.
does anyone know something?
delimari,
Yes, I have the same problem but I can live with it. Try asking webpatrick to change the letters' colours - if you are succesful I will apply it too!

Hi,
I have the T-mobile MDA Compact III, the Dutch version, with wifi and stuff. I also have a Qtek S200 and the first thing i noticed is that the Compact III has no calculator! This may seem like a small thing, but it bugs me as i got used to using it alot with the S200...
Any plugin or whatever to get a calculator??
Oh and while i'm asking, is there a way to change those freaky pink white colors of the phone pad? I can change theme in the notmal menus but the phone pad always stays with the T-mobile color scheme... any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Rudy
Hmm... interesting. Anyway, there are tons of better calculator out there. I think the.. Omega(?) has a free calculator software.. and if you do a search on www.freewareppc.com, they ought to have a few .. much advance ones too.
Tons of phonepad available in this forum with iPhone wannabe to.. Vista look-alike. Easiest way to get rid of T-mobile stuff is to go Wiki (under WM5 tweak) to get rid of it and use the default.
Had the same problem.
There IS an calculator, only theres no shortcut made by TM
In the folder WINDOWS\calc.exe
there u got to be. ive made an shortcut to it with SPB Pocket plus.
and for the ugly t-mobile color, just install an skin for it. and do a soft reset.
excuse my bad english
Try tapping Start/ Organiser a new window will open desplaying icons for Claculator, Calendar, Notes and Tasks - Strange place to bury the calculator but it is there - Mike
when installing a skin for the phone pad, does it need to be unlocked first or something... and kindof a noob question, but will i lose my warranty?? Where can I download like legal themes for the PDA??
BTW, i found the calc just where you said it would be mike, And i linked it to my right software button!
Forget the CALC from Windows. Try searching for eval. Nice and free Calculator...
You will find it here

Uli,
Thanks for the link. I checked out the skins, very nice. Although I speak some German, I would prefer to load skins on my device with English button labels. Do you think he might do that for us??? I tried to send him a PM, but the website wouldn't let me. It really looks like the nicest black skin suite that I've seen. Thank him from us .

Oh...oops Thanks for clearing that up!
CommManager doesn t work with LSVW Rom 2.0.0.5. I had to uninstall it altough its really nice !
Is right, functions only to version 2.0.0.4. An update should soon appear!
Just tried this, and I do like it. At first I was not happy that it showed "Hide Keyboard" instead of "Contacts" when in Phone mode, and was going to uninstall it.
But then I enabled Video Calls and now "Contacts" is back
Unfortunately, it's true that CommManager doesn't work with it. I can live with it for now, but it'd be nice if it gets fixed soon.
Only other gripe, the start up graphic is a little goofy (what's with that font?!)
O.K., had some time to play with this theme, and now I am not happy with it at all:
1. The theme DOES NOT uninstall cleanly. I was not able to uninstall it with either the standard uninstaller, nor with SKTools. The only way I was able to get rid of it, was by overwriting it with the zombienexus theme indicated below.
2. The Catcher theme is virtually identical to the wm6_blackextra_3g_dialpad from this page: http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GL_Display.asp?SEC=3&EntryID=513. The only difference I can see is the .tsk background file, which BTW is what causes the problem with CommManager. IMO, unless Catcher was involved in the zombie skin project, he should be giving credit where due.

Anyone can make a skin suite in black it just takes some time, there isn't a copyright on black. I loaded the zombienexus black theme first, and it didn't uninstall cleanly either, in fact, my dialpad had no color after the uninstall, just white boxes. I fixed it by installing the Black Trinity theme. So there you go...

True, except that the zombienexus skins have been around for eons, and the apparently pretty new Catcher skin looks just like their extra-black.
The zombies are pretty well known, as a quick perusal of this and other forums shows, so I somehow doubt Catcher was not aware of their skin before he spent whatever time it took. Perhaps he did some German customization, but a .tsk does not a new "named" theme make....
Whatever.... the zombies theme at least works with 2.0.0.5.
The flash reported a failure (in German, don't remember what exactly - sorry), but the black theme works anyway except for the black background picture. I don't mind since I'm using my own background anyway. My device is WM6 in the Dopodasia variety.
Thanks for the nice theme-work...

Gooooood question!
I'd like to take look, just fer ****s & giggles ye know? don't wanna screw up my current install now. I'm in far too happy a place, ROM wise
Already tried it out...but it is useless for me...respons...like 3-5 sec after tapping a button...5mb less free RAM...this is too much for me..

All I can say is that the Dialer will not work correctly on 8252 with CIN 3.5.2. There are some alignment issues with numbers.
Also it's impossible to enter the settings for the skin and PHONE icon not linked correctly.
Best Regards
Why is this in the WM6 forum? Does the CAB only work on WM6?
It probably doesn't belong in this topic, but why don't we try and change that?
Would there be interest in making a WM6 ROM that looks and acts almost like an iPhone? I can see there being some disadvantages and no doubt a lot of people will miss the today screen, but there might be a few people interested none the less.
Maybe it would be better to keep it as an "iPhone CAB" with everything on it, so that users can try it and remove it quite easy?
What other programs would we need in the ROM do you think?
I'm thinking it would be good to try and embed Piscel Browser, or similar at least, so that you have the fancy finger scrolling on websites.
Maybe we could add the ringtones as well....

Problems with Dialer
This is my first post, can you put xelashiu WM6 version of the dialer in the cab file. because of the problems with key pad numbers lining up, otherwise great app Many Thanks

GREAT CAB
Great cab, I was just looking forward to install a cab like these, but has only problem with the dialer, I hope can be fix. Thank you for the great work.
This CAB is very nice, but it was eaier to configure an iPhone theme using WAD with all the godies. Plus, you can put the icons wherever you want and add or delete them.
Unfortunately WAD is buggy and creates a soft reset from time to time. Other than that it's a nice app to play with!
I really like the start for this app... iContact is my favorite cause its a Stylusless UI. Now if everything else is ported it would be awesome!!! The dialer is a good start too but really needs work with simplifying it. It doesn't need to be that complicated and the look can be polished too. I'm willing to work on it with the developer if you need more of my feedback. I'm an interface designer by trade so please use me
I AM WILLING TO PAY IF SOMEONE WERE TO MAKE THE ENTIRE iPHONE OS AS A CAB OR WM6 REPLACEMENT!
Anyone else?
I'm a software developer with a fresh mind straight from Uni...so if anyone wants to team up let me know and I'd be happy to start on this project.
Slither I'm up for it!
I'll design the interfaces... You make them work!
Deal or No Deal?
Oh btw which direction would you like to go Cook our own ROM or CAB?
Deal
I like the CAB direction...btw I'm working full time so i'll dedicate time for the project mainly in the evenings and whenever I get time during work. PM me for design thoughts you have.
Cheers.

Hi,
i have recently installed the last version coreplayer on the hd, but it seems like the original skin is only up-scaled, as the buttons look rather "unsharp". I'm satisfied with the skin itself (some buttons could be a bit larger though) and don't need special design gimmiks, but a bit better appearance would be nice...
although i've done some google and forum search, it seems to be difficult to find vga skins for that application, and on the developer's site nothing seems to be mentioned about vga or skin download...
so does anybody have a vga skin with full functionality or a link for a skin download?
regards jan
I've been looking for a decent skin for ages but after a bit of searching everything I find is pretty poor. I hope someone can suggest a source for skins because I certainly can't find any nice ones.

...first of all it seems to be a qvga skin as well, as the buttons and backgound look the same unsharp like in the original skin,

I would really appreciate that work. I'd even try myself, but unfortunately I don't have enough time by now to do it... it looks quite complicated and I don't know much about xml...
... the problem with the skins posted on the previous page is that they all seem not to be really vga, as the buttons and the background look quite "unsharp"...
...another problem with some of the black skins on the previous page is that the filters and "current selection" are not nisplayed at all, at least on my device... with other skins it works...
regards and good luck
p.s. if you just need some help creating the buttons and other graphic elements in vga, feel free to ask me for support
Here is a little teaser
After an hour or so here is a very basic skin - it needs ALOT of work it's NOT FULLY FINISHED so when I get time I will polish it off nicely...
Looks a darn site better than the default one though.
Unzip it drop it in program files/coreplayer
Should keep your eyes happier while I try to get to grips with the XML
that looks really nice already... is the skin now a real vga one or an expanded qvga one?
