Hey Guys,
Dunno about you, but I've installed the T-mobile NL latest ROM - but - and a big BUT -
Who designed that dialer skin!?
Attached are 2 nice backgrounds I made (landscape and portrait), and a Carrierlogo for Orange Israel which looks really great.
Replace all 3 files in the windows directory.
Note: If you get problems with write access, try with "Total Commander" it seemed to work perfectly!
Btw, for nice buttons, elsewhere on these forums is ablackqsilver skin for the universal.. didn't have energy to design the buttons...
From what I understand, the nice dialler skins won't work on our Universals, so I guess we'll make our own
If anyone else has some nice ones - Share!

Very nice.
hey do you have anything for atom like this carrier logo and splash screens.
Thanks
I'll be buggered if I can overwrite or delete the carrier gif file, I want to overwrite the 2 DLL's that contain the pink video buttn as well.....
Ayone go any ideas? tried in flight mode and with resco and total commander.
Cheers
To change the button graphics
To change the buttons I first installedthe black/silver universal phone skin. It redirects the registry phone buttons to its graphics, and they are replaceable.
Works great for me and got rid of the pink buttons...
Well people who designed the T-Mobile dialer skin are Either colorblind or complete Arses....
I understand that you guys were able to get rid of it? to get back the original HTC Blue and green buttons ??
Can you please tell us all how to do it ??
The only way I can see to get rid of it 'completely' without loosing the Video button is to replace the 2 DLL's that contain the video button resources.
Unfortunately they are in ROM so it would have to be a cook of a new ROM.
I was thinking about giving it a go, but to be honest, just cannot be rsed, I'll leave it be until either HTC make the dialer completely skinnable to the end user or a new HTC (iMate/QTek) rom that is newer than the T-Mobile one is released.
I also don't like the other mods that TM do (to the start menu etc), but I've got rid of those, and everything else about the latest NL Tmobile WWE ROM rules, def the best one I've used yet.
So I'll live with the garish pink dialer for now...... unfortunately
Thanx for the info.
I am myself on the DOPOD ROM and am very happy (I do not have a stereo headset so the A2DP is not important
Hello all. I never saw these posts before so I never knew how to change the dialer skins until I found the registry tweaks in the wiki area. I've attached a zip file of all the buttons on T-Mobile. I haven't really changed them. Just made the buttons rounder! ... Not much difference but it does look better. The only problem was that I couldn't change the Video button for some reason. I changed the background and the buttons by copying the files to the mda, either the extended ROM, the sd card (which could coz a problem if you remove it) or the mda's internal memory and then in the registry just change the location of the files. All the buttons are named the same as the original. This way you won't really have any problems and you can revert to the originals by just renaming the registry settings back to the "\Windows\" directory. The registry keys are in: "HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin" ... the "Dialer" directory holds all the buttons and background for when the dialer buttons are on the screen. The "Progress" directory holds the buttons and background for when you're in a call and the dial buttons are not visible. The keys that you have to edit are the bmp... entries. The default string is "\Windows\...bmp" just change them to wherever they are, like "\Storage Card\DialerSkin\...bmp", etc.
The only think I couldn't change was the Video buttons and the Operator logo. If the background you put up is not white or a lighter colour the logo looks retarded. I tried looking for the file "erlogo" but i didn't find it. However I did find a file called "Carrierlogo" in the Windows directory. I'm thinking of backing it up and then blanking it out. Don't really care about the logo. Anyways, I've added a zip file of the buttons I edited. I've also put up screenshots. You can change the buttons to whatever you want if you can design one. I tried looking for one but seems like no one is really making them for the MDA Pro's as the MDA Vario's and the like are more common. Anyways, hope I can get some help with the Video buttons and maybe some nice backgrounds for the dialer?!

Well if you want to get the default blue Windows Mobile dialer then just go to the Registry to: "HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin" and the entry for Enabled change it to "0" to disable the operator dialer or then "1" to enable it. If you disable it and reboot the MDA you'll see the original blue dialskin but you miss out on the video button. so no video calls can be made also the Smart Dial feature will not work if the blue dialer is used. I don't know why so don't ask! ... Hope this helps?!
havoc99!
Thanx I am aware of that HACK, but then you as you quite correctly mention loose the video call and the smart dialer.
But !!!!!!!!!!!!
What you are writing about making the busttons might be great just design my own set and done. Question is if I keep it on the SD card it mst probably be even slower then now (I mean the device)
Well If i cook my own set of buttons I shall let you all know
Hey Havoc....
I am happy with the default skin on the QTEK 9000 for example so all i have to do is copy all the files you have in that zip archive. from my Windows directory... and then I have a ready skin so I can actually go and use the t-mobile ROM...
I mean now since we know the file names, I hope your archive is complete havoc

About the buttons I meant you could take the originals and colour them different, instead of have the buttons curved like I posted previously you could have them a different shape, etc. I currently have my modified buttons and pics on the ExtendedROM which pretty much is a part of the inbuilt memory and so far it's working fine. I haven't noticed any slowness or sluggish behaviour. I'll try make some different buttons and post them up. ... Should be fun but time consuming. ... If you've seen the skins for the MDA Vario using the ETen Dialer, those are really sexy but that means one has to sit and make them for the MDA Pro. I'll try it out and post what I can get.

Well the buttons I modified were for the T-Mobile skin so I don't know what happens with the QTek as I've never seen the skin so try at your own expense. Mine is working great. Just changed the links to the locations. I noticed when I flashed the i-mate rom, the dialer was completely different. If you're going to flash your PDA with the T-Mobile ROM then you should try it out. Though I have never replaced the original files coz then if anything goes wrong I have to reflash so be careful. My archive is only missing the background pics which are named as "Bkgnd_land" and "Bkgnd_port" in the same Windows directory. I've posted the backgrounds as well but you can put anything you want as long as it's the right resolution. The one I use is always 640x480. However, I strongly advise you to copy these files in another folder on the PDA and not replace the originals. I placed mine in a folder in the ExtendedROM. I originally figured out this hack from the wiki page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
Check it out. There's allot of nice hacks there.[/url]
Hi guys, I was messing around with the dialer buttons and if you take the bmp's that are in the zip file (or if you copy the ones that are in the Windows directories) and open them in paint (or the like) and colour the buttons "NmBtnUp_..." fully black and then in the registry only edit the "bmpNormal" under "dialbutton" to the black ones then after the reboot, your dialer buttons are invisible. Only thing you see are the numbers and alphabets. Pretty kool! ... I only did it for the "dialbutton" folders not the rest as in the erase, talk/end, or the verbbutton. Quite an interesting effect for the dialer depending on your background or your choice. Just thought I'd share. I also changed the really nice green backgrounds by "summoner" into dark grey (I hope you don't mind) and I've posted screenshots of them up. K! Thought I'd share my interesting discovery.

I managed to overwrite the carrierlogo.gif file from the explorer built in with "Pocket Controller - Professional" that I bought. It's a nice program. Little sluggish sometimes but i can use the MDA from the pc without touching it. By the way, what are you going to overwrite the 2 dll's with? Have you found a way to modify the video button?
HAvoc!
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52399&highlight=
There are some default phone dialer skins from the providers.

the link I have given you you can download the skins in cab format...
Well if you exctract the cab and change the extentions to .bmp you get the buttons.... The nicest one I think is the O2 one

Tested working with 838Pro running original Dopod WM6. If your dialer has been change or your device do not use the standard HTC dialer,I dont have any idea it will work. Oh..and I will not attempt to make it work for other Hermes not running official WM6 from Dopod. You can try it by backup your phone registry first, if it work, GREAT!. If it dontsimply uninstall it and restore your registry. As always, use it at your own Risk!

dude.....feeling some competitions huh...I dont have your cab or mUn ROM so I cannot compare to yours and mUn. Now before you start saying something stupid why dont you show me if there is an EXACT same file from my images and those of yours and mun? I would be surprise if you can find ONE(ofcourse except those graphics that we can use from kaiser without any further tweaking)
If you are talking about resemblance...all the graphics are all ported from the original Kaiser it should look a like. The original Kaiser dialer DONT belongs to ANYBODY.
I would expect you to came back here with your prove OK? JUST ONE GRAPHIC. If not then that said it all.
p.s. I do notice you "promote" your dialer twice here today right after I release mine.

play nice guys bc both of u have good and bad parts in ur dailers. i have both and both have been extracted from cabs and compared. schen urs has a good layout on the video calling. duron is more with the original kaiser theme if u look at that smart dialing and blue gradient. get ur dialers and put them together and make one.

duron is just a bit paranoid about this whole thing thinking that photoshop works is his biggest talent that none can do....
BTW I did think about designing to look exacly the same as Kaiser but it did not work. The hermes dialer has different layout. The Video Progress button screen for example will overlap. We might think that the "right" part of the main dialer is "cool" being covered with " dummy grey button", but that part of the screen has its own purpose for Hermes(picture display and Long Names and Numbers also will extend to the far right). It is not supposed to be covered.
So duron, what are you going to say....! I dont need your dialer...there are many flaw if I may say it frankly.
Hi to all!
Is there any skin for Universal WM6 which will be similar to this shown on this picutre?

try a program called rltoday. you could make your own skins, and they can be ne-thing and everything you want.
just search for rltoday.

Nice job tslany!
Removing bottom bar: copy extracted dciNobar.exe to Uni (i.e. \Program Files or anywhere), create shortcut, copy shortcut to \Windows\Startup & you lose the bottom bar & soft keys every soft reset. [taken from LG KS20 thread]
Remove tray icons except bluetooth (I don't have it) by installing individual attached cab files.
Let us know if you are successful in this project!
Thanks, catch-22
Here is screenshot of ver. 0.4:
SnapVue.zip contains skin for rlToday and LCD font, SnapVue-tsk.zip contains TSK file
(for remove BT icon (Widcomm stack) I move BTTray.lnk from StartUp folder to My documents and softreset )
Getting better tslany!
Now, we need to put something on the empty space in the middle of the screen like the original SnapVUE. Perhaps align the calendar, email, sms icons in one row and use standard WM5/6/6.1 today plugins to fill up the screen.
Better yet is to enable today plugins above to appear in the empty space between those icons. Wisbar Advance and/or Advance Desktop cannot do that, but I don't know if rlToday can do that either.
Anyway, great job & thanks for sharing. Let me know if I could still be of any help. Will try your design over the weekend, you're welcome!
I had a (little) pause, but now I'm going to work on it. Here is screen with "SnapVue" service from Shift

Hi All
Since getting a Touch HD iv'e been trying to make some of my favourite programs look ok with the WVGA Resolution.
Here are 3 skins i have either made or modified that work well all keeping the Touchflo 3D Theme.
The first is an S2u2 theme (just copy the gfx folder to the s2u2 dir) and use the clock dir
Second is a quick basic Launch manager theme (copy the defaultwvga dir into the skins dir of lm
last is a Pocketcm theme , This is not my theme but i adapted to work on WVGA , The theme was created by Oumpahpah called Dark Diamond II - 2, I just resized some graphics and made the buttons work on the contact details page, I also edited the ini file to resize some of the screen placings.
There i 1 small glitch which i have yet to iron out on the sms page but it does not interfere with the working of the sms page it just bugs me its there (a white line around the SMS box)
you need to extract both the zip and the dir into the pocketcm dir and choose the
Modified Dark Diamond II 0.25c VGA theme
Also check here for a nice TF3d calendar mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423647
It works great and ive also managed to move the tab using the diamond TF3D editor
also from a diamond thread ive managed to change the calendar link from the homepage to thumbcal and the all people shortcut on the contacs page to pocketcm
I just wish HTC would allow us to show more Appointments on the home screen it seems a waste of the lovely screen not to fill it up
Hope these help
Edit Fixed the SMS glitch Ver2 uploaded of teh PocketCM Theme
Edit Added Thumbcal Skin (skin.diamond_WVGA.zip) just put the zip into the Thumbcal Dir
the other skins work ok but i noticed that the lines were not even on the vga Skin so this fixes that along with the images are now the correct size
New Calculator SKin
Found a great VGA Calc Skin by L.Sylvain but i admended it for WVGA
Install the L.Sylvain cab file then extract the SpbCalc_P_VGA.png file from the SpbCalc_P_VGA.zip and copy it into the windows dir
Edit 20-11 Resized the Landscape too - copy both files into the Windows Dir
Edit 21-11 Small update to the Calc Skin - Changed the pressed keys to Green which is more in line with the Touch HD Theme
08-12 removed the original calc skin as there are better versions now
The final skins are later in this thread
Calc with Grey Pressed buttons SpbCalc_P_WVGA_grey_Final.zip
calc with Green Pressed Buttons SpbCalc_P_WVGAgreen_Final.zip
Both have a condensed but i think easier layout on portrait
and a full layout on landscape
Wow, the calendar and it's tab looks VERY nice! It's late now, but I'll definitely give this a try tomorrow..thanks!
hi machmandp
do i get it right?
I can get the calendar tab in tf3d on the touch hd following the instructions given on the link you supplied?
Do I loose any other tab of the original tabs by performing thid modification?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Ascenca
Hi
I can just give my experience and i lost no tabs when i added it
I dont use the stock tab which is why it's missing from my setup but it's available (i tried it)
Machmandp - you are an absolute star! I piddled around with the dark diamond skin when I got my HD and got so far with it but then got stuck. I've been hoping someone would sort this out as it is a very appropriate theme for the HD. Limited testing so far and although I can see your (very minor) issue on the SMS screen, everything else looks very good...so many, many thanks. I'd be interested in any further tweaks you make to this skin.
I might pick your brains on linking to different calendar/contact apps, but I'll try searching again first.
Thanks again
I put it on and took it off again because I did lose a tab - programs. I don't have time to play with it right now. It also seems to be static - in other words you get a tab displaying a calendar page but you can't actually do much more than look at the dates. You can't open and interact with the calendar for example.
Mind you that's on a very limited try and I'm happy to be corrected.
machmandp - did you by any chance slot your version into where the stock tab would have been? Also, what do you do with the locale file - I was getting IDS_Calendar_... in front of everything. Can you do more with the calendar than just look at it?
If you get a second, can you point me in the right direction for the diamond tweaks for calendar and contacts - I'm drawing a blank so far
Cheers
Hi
the link for the editor i used for the contacts and calendar links
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
make sure you read the whole thread as it has info for the touch HD later in the thread
I did put the calendar where the stock tab used to be but i have enabled the stock tab and it still shows so i have lost no tabs at all.
As regards to the local file you just need to download the lacales.zip from the thread and put the correct locale file into the windows dir (mine was en-us)
yep it's very static at the moment but as the page evolves i figure that it's a good thing to have it working and then i'll just have to replce the actual manila files without having to edit any again, also it's still pretty good as a quick veiw calendar
I am working on the Pocketcm skin so hopefully i'll get rid of that glitch soon
Thanks

Hi, in anticipation of getting hold of my Touch HD (when mobiles.co.uk eventually ships it on O2!) I'm been tinkering around with my Hermes.
I love the look of your S2U2 skin. I've tried to replicate it on my Hermes back down to 320x240 screen.
All seems to have worked ok except I can't get rid of the coloured overlay that S2U2 puts behind the clock. I've changed the background picture to be the one that I use across all devices (the nice blue sunray looking one from Windows 7) but it ends up with this semi-translucent bar with the clock figures and date in across the top half.
Which image file do I need to make transparent to make that go away?
Hope my post made sense.
I'll try and get some screen shots up to show what I mean.

@machmandp - I have a little more time now so I'm going to have a play.
First off, I'm going to follow the Calendar hack to set up PI. Seems simple enough from the links you provided.
Then I'm going to look at linking PCM Contacts to the People Tab. How does that work for you? When you tap the contact picture does it link to the correct contact in PCM Contacts? Do the links to call or send SMS under the picture still function?
Lastly, I might give the Calendar Tab hack a go again. I followed the instructions quite carefully and am bothered that managed to lose my Programs tab. Did you copy the XML straight out of the original post? Did you mess around with the Page Order at all? Were you able to use the built in tab configurator to manipulate the tabs including the new calendar tab?
Hugely appreciate all your help so far - you've already made my day today with the fix for the PCM Contacts skin - and I'd immensely grateful for any more guidance you can offer.
Hi
Yes i copied the xml from the page but with the HD having an extra tab i put the number of the calendar page as 11 not 10
As regards to moving the tabs i had to use the diamond TF3d Configurator from the diamond forum, This works fine.
The link to Pocketcm is only for the All people softkey and not for any of the contacts but i find this works well
Hope that helps

Yes thanks, all begins to make sense now and I have the PI hack working nicely now. Did you remap the All People Softkey through SSMaPa too? Replacing POutlook.exe?
Where did you guys get that slide to unlock application with the HTC colours? is it in the skin imbeded?
The app is s2u2 by A_C (brilliant by the way)
the skin is from the first post of this thread for s2u2

Hey!
My touchpal-yota-skin 0.5 vga
This is a test version! Please try it and post bugs and improvements.
Please take a look to the "press-effect" on quertz keyboard and the t9 ones! One is grey/glass and one red/glass... what do you prefer?
To Do:
:: better "enter/backbutton"
:: the yellow highlighted typo
:: kill the white line (need help with that) *edit* White line is killed!
:: kill the ugly sip icon (need help with that)
Installation:
:: make a backup of your touchpal\resources folder
:: download resources.zip and exstract to your touchpalfolder --> overwrite all
:: softreset --> voilá!
Changing Smileys:
If you want to change the smileys, there is a second file in the zip. Rename the emotional.png to what you think. Change the name of "emotional gant yota.png" to "emotional.png" --> softreset --> voilá!
Thx!
P.S. I won't change to yota font. I take a look to the file, calculate the work and get grey hairs... I like the original font!
Thx @ htctoucher for his hint with the smileys!
Here are links for *.cabs. Thx to AllTheWay for creating!

Smileys in SMS? Is this something you are working on, or is this something already released. In case, from where did you get it? Thanx
No, touchpal uses smileygraphics for a nicer look, but in sms / mms / mail you see only the normal signs like : - )
smiley icons have to be cropped to lose the white shape around or u could make glassy wot is white right now.
Hi defcon2000 !
I have two questions
It is written VGA in the tittle but the HD is in WVGA!! So will it fit correctly or not ?
Then I would love to get an azerty version... could it be possible please ?
Cheers

That's no problem... the width is important not the height. I use the touch HD and it works fine!
The problem with the azerty is that I don't have the files for it. Can you send me the fontstyle files? I think style1.png and style2.png are enough. / Can you try it and tell me the differences?
Hi, I love the looks of this! Very well indeed!
Few questions and suggestions if you don't mind:
- is this German version, or will it adapt the "send" and "message" words depending on what the System language is?
- what is needed for this to work? Yota?
And would it be possible in first post to make a list of all known bugs, so people can decide if it's worth trying out or too risky. This is something I think every developer should do here, because not everyone is very good at restoring their phone to earlier state. And I'm personally always worried that I'll mess something up
Cheers!
Thank you!
This is only a skin for an existing application named touchpal. http://www.cootek.com/
touchpal is my personal favorite for typing with the touch hd because it's very fast, thumb usable and have an awesome word recognition.
the skin is based on the german files. I don't know if there are differences to the english skin. the most files are pure graphic files without text and the text on dpad are english in the german version too (because of the lenght of the translation I think).
It's not risky to try but backup your /touchpal/resources folder as described in first post.
from my side no known issues without the two I described in first post.
Work great for me
Thanks for sharing. This looks great Would also love to see a HD keyboard skin with Yota keyboard
this is really awesome!!!!
Thanks a lot it as working perfectly with my azerty keyboard!!!

no, its just from wm6.1 emulator that called Windows Mobile Green
I think it must be a Default Theme for all WM 6.1
This is beautiful.
Truly beautiful. I've been looking for something to replace the default Diamond White Touchpal skin with and this is perfect.
I'll mention that owning Touchpal is a legacy from my previous phone, a Trinity, which was QVGA and had about a hundred choices of Touchpal skin. This is only the second I've seen for VGA. There's a direction pad in Touchpal, which makes it useful in certain circumstances such as some games.
Being a fan of green, I was wondering if you could produce a green "space" .png that I could drop in. It would dramatically improve the colour scheme for me.
Even if not, let me give you three thumbs up.
