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.

Wow thank you so much I was looking coulndt come up wit anything. THe one from wizard wouldnt work would it ?
If it was made for the Wizard, I'd air on the side of caution and say no. Have ya tried searching "WM6 Dialer Skins"?

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
I'm loving NFSFAN's new Bell ROM, but i'm not crazy about the slide to answer on the phone canvas.
I'm looking for a way to replace the slide to answer / ignore with buttons instead of a slider while keeping everything else the same.
I've researched different skins for this dialer (there are some cool looking ones out there!!) but none of these change the slider.
Any help would be appreciated.
This one works for me; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429179. There is also a black version somewhere Google 'Black Minimal Dialer'
I've now been using NFSFAN's ROM for a few days now.
Must say i've gotten quite used to the dialer. I like all of the other features. Especially the "in call curtain". While i'm still not in love with slide to answer I understand the concept of why it was created. If I want to press a button that's what the hardware key is for!!
I wasn't really looking for a new dialer, but i've learnt the slide is an integral part of the package.
Thanks for the response anyways. You were the only one to do so. (everyone else was probably busy shaking their heads!!!)
now mine might sound like a really stupid question, but can I install the opal's slide to answer dialer on my sprint htc vogue ? are all the ## codes working for you on your phone ?
Yes, everything works (911 etc)
In NFSFAN's words, the data connection is not active during a call, it just breaks the data errors.
The dialer is included in his ROM, i'm not really sure if the same one is found anywhere in CAB format. A quick google search for "opal slide to answer CDMA" should yield some results for you.

thanks jmitr for your patient answer and the links to the solutions.. really really appreciate your patience and yes I just installed it and working fine now.. love the new dialer...
i spoke too sooon... i installed the complete cab by mbarvian and then tried juggaloo's cab but it was for VGA graphics, i tried mbarvian and conflippers cab but that messed up everything...
just mbarvians cab - didn't display the incall screen properly.... it was all greyed out...
now i can't find a single good cab which displays everything like it should... i don't want to do any more trial and error and find out... please help me on this ...
i dont mind not having the canvas - atleast i get a bigger picture on caller screen and thats all i want right now...
I know s2u2 has a large picture to answer the phone with.
I don't use it anymore, I found it drained my battery too fast. With NFSFAN's rom and the opal dialer it isn't really needed anyways.
Sorry none of the links led to anything fruitful, my only experience with this dialer is in the custom ROM. Must say it has grown on me though!!

I've been using this on my Sprint Touch for months now with out any issues. Here's a link for a post I have up at PPCGeeks for you to check out . Please let me know if you have any problems. If you don't want the lock feature, don't install Albert's cab...

I had trouble getting the dialer to work initially also. It seemed to be tied to the rom build that something changed after the 20XXX rom build was released. If I used anything earlier it wouldn't work. If your on a stock rom that may be part of the issue. Not sure, but just my experience in fixing the issue.
It is tied to a shell component.

Hey thanks for the reply NFSFAN, the slide to answer was the only part of your ROM that I didn't really like......at first. I couldn't imagine going back to the old dialer now.
It is good to learn what's possible and what's not though, thanks again for the answer.
Cheers,
Jason

Codes don't work for me on the verizon beta rom. Is it just me or do you have to use the folder rather than the dialer?
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.

I would be satisfied already with the original skin in a proper (w)vga resulution... but the nicer the better...
I got a black skin compatible with HD of this forum but I cannot remember where.
I have attached the file. Unzip and read the .txt file. Credit to the other guy.

Thaks, but i've seen (and tried) this skin earlier...
...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,
... in addition that skin doesn't seem to work fully (for me), e.g. the "filter icons" on the left side are not displayed...
... so I hope more people can post links for vga skins...

I am developing one as we speak but it's not easy as they don't even have the standard properly setup yet!
I am picking up a skin that was never finalised... see screenshot
CorePlayer is not the easiest app to 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?
the search bar for youtube doesn't work (at least on my hd), several functions are still completely missing (but you've written that in youir post)... but once again: great work, looks really nice already... if you need assistance creating vga buttons let me know...

I tried at 196 DPI (native to phone) which gave the best result although txt was too small so this one is at 96 DPI... still need to look through XML properly to work out alignment txt size etc in order to make 196 dpi thumb friendly (text was just too small)

would be great if you could make it look (and work) nice on 196 dpi... I haven't found any skin yet which is capable of that... you'd be my hero ;-)

CPS, what FONT are you using on your device and how did you install it? looks nice
CPS nice work so far. This skin would be cool. Good luck with development, I'll happily test it for you.
Wish I could help, but have no idea about it.
Hi All,
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I have searched a great deal, but no luck...Apologies too if I am missing something obvious, but I never said I was all that bright
I am almost finished with my update to the "translucent" themes (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459885&highlight=translucent) for the new Manila 3 ROMS. All I have left to skin is the big green "talk" button on the dialer screen. I have spent more time than I care to admit looking through all of the Manila files and PNGS/BMPS/GIFS on my device, but cannot find this image file either among the usual suspects for Dialer assets or more unfamiliar files. Has anyone had any success here?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi guys just to quickly ask for some advice.
Im new to flashing my TP2 and have some awesome experiences, would just like to say thanks for all the chefs that take the time and effort to do this for us.
The problem i need help with so far i havent managed to find a ROM with the LEO home screen ( Time weather and 3 app/widget placements underneath) and the contacts using the thumbnails but that can also be used in landscape mode.
Ive tried so many ROMS now that im surprised i havent found a link yet to one that has these and is getting great reviews.
Any help given would be appreciated.
graph1uk
The Leo ROM isn't made for landscape since the Leo has no physical keyboard; as such, there is no currently existing ROM that has what you want.
