Hi,
I installed the LVSW (Pro Style) ROM, and when I press the Dial button (green) - it goes into phone mode, great.
Now.
If I were to press the button again (to dial the last dialed number) then it doesnt work.
also if I press the joystick UP it doesn't go to history - like it used to with the original ROM.
any ideas on how to fix this?
thank you.

I've been asking the same question without any fixes. Not sure how to do it. There was a utility called "Smartskey" used in WM5. But I am not 100% certain that was employed in some of the WM5 cooked ROMS (Can someone confirm this??). I thought it was built into the functionality of the Hermes. I would love to have this functionality again.

Either use the WM5 dialler (just change to a WM5 dialler skin as described 200 times already) or simply notice that call history and speed-dials are already in the shortlist above the keypad with the WM6 dialler (unless you;ve changed settings in phone.).
I notice the same in all WM6 and it is a pain in the ass too. But the WM5 dialer did NOT work for me, I use a WM 5 dialer since it looks better but still no fix. I agree and have come accustomed to using the history and speeddial list a lot more.

I agree it's a pain. Can someone please fix this? Or do we have to install smartskey?
Anyone noticed that the latest Black v2.0 reverts back to the older style that we are looking for? Anyone know how this was done? Is it a new dialer or even an old WM5 dialer? The reason I would like to know is because other ROMs don't have this feature. I would like to install it manually on those ROMs.
I love the functionality of pushing the up directional button to get to history and not to scroll through smartdial.

Start -> Settings -> System (tab) -> TweakUI. Make sure that "Enable VideoCall" is selected (checked). Restart your device. You now have a WM5-like smart dialer with the features you want enabled. Up or Right for call history, Down or Left for Speed Dial entries.

install HTC_smartdialer2.5 and any wm5 dial skin and you will get the speed dial and history functions back. Can't remember were I found it sorry.

22 WM6 dialpad skins for:
WM6 today themes only
WM6 Basic dialpad
WM6 Standard Dialpad
WM6 3G Video Dialpad
WM6 3G Video screen buttons add-on
If you have upgraded your HTC Hermes from WM5 to WM6, your smartdialer application is not installed by default. Use this to get it back:
WM5 HTC Smartdialer cab (Extracted from Hermes)
(this skins are for wm5 and wm6 devices. they are named wm6 because of the buttons which are from the default wm6 dialer)
Note: Today theme is included in cab. You may install your own today theme after installing one of these dialpad skins.
Chart for reference: Which dialpad for you?
Installed the smart dialer cab and restarted the phone...
I now have no phone skin... its all white apart from a blackoutline of the back arrorow!!!
Is there any way to uninstall this cab????

Install the smartdialler cab then the skin cab. You should get what you see in the screenshot.
Brilliant.... thanks very much for the assistance..
All worked ok...
Just need to get my 3g network avaliable....!!!

Thanks for the update, djstegges. You got me worried.
----------------------------
----------------------------
FYI for everybody:
Hermes users don't need to use WM5 Standard dialpad.
WM5 Basic and WM5 3G Video call sets are suitable.
WM5 Standard dialpads are for Wizard type ppl.
No problem..
Glad to help you out.
I've updated the today themes pack - 5 of the backgrounds did not load when you change themes.
Link's the same.
EXCELLENT Skin Packs.
Incase some of you don't READ. It contains the today theme, smart dialer skin and the dialpad skin.
All you have to do is to pick the color you want and install the file and you are Set.
The Video call/Phone Call button looks NICER than the screenshots posted. Highly recommended.
Thanks alot for your contribution!
swampy... nice skins/pads, etc... would you be interested in making a dialpad that will work for PTT as well? It uses a couple extra buttons.. let me know if you are up for it!
Hi Shogunmark
Sure, I'll take a look, can you point me to a PTT skin which i can use as an example?

thats the fun part.. no one has made any dialer skins for ptt yet... but i have all the files you could possibly want for it.. i can pull them all out of the rom
btw i love the black dialer... very good work indeed!
Hi Swampy, love your skins..very good work.
I checked out black 3g, and the backedition 3g dialpads, and noticed that the buttons on the blackedition were a bit darker, so I went with that one, but I wasnt a fan of the background..well really of neither..But I definitely wanted the darker buttons, so I proceeded to modify that one.
I ended up with this
and
my today being
I dont have a way to make transparent images..flaky software on mobile, but can your dialers use them? I was thinking it would be neat if the "indialer" stuff could be tansparent backgrounded then maybe an app could be created that people could use to set their today screen and dialer screen by the app, and then their dialer and today would always match, and just release colored button sets for people to customize with their own background could be released.
Like my dialer now matches my today screen, and it could always match with just changing the 2 today background images, and the 3 dialer background images, which I imagine could be done with a very simple app, but those inidialers are a pain cause they are background colored too.
I dunno maybe Im way off course.
Large Dial Buttons?
Hi,
Firstly - thanks for these skins. Look fantastic.
However I was wondering if anyone knew of any skins that used more of the screen for number keys and less for the other buttons - to allow fat fingered guys like me to dial easier...
I've had a search around but have not been able to find anything that also larger numbers and the smart dialling and video call features. Any help would be appreciated!
Many Thanks!

This is interesting: I'm using this on an 8525 which doesn't have Video Call. I installed one of the standard dialpads, and where the Video Call button is on the Video dialpad, there's a hole in the skin. That means that whatever app that was on screen when the dialpad is activated still shows through where the Video Call button should be. I don't need the Video button because I don't have a front camera. Is there another button I can put there?

Hmm. I don't use PTT either, but I'm sure we can come up with something for that extra button!

what im saying is that the cingular dialpad doesnt use the video call button, but it DOES NOT have a ptt button there either... so a ptt dialpad would solve your issue

thank you! - glad you like it
have not tried PTT but i'll be happy to put together a skin when you get the images. i also need any registry keys/values related to PTT. not really necessary but if it can control font colors and such, we might as well include that in to make a base template for others to tweak.

Unfortunately, the smartdialer graphics cannot be transparent. as you know, i faked the transparency , since changing background images does not change the smartdialer. It is a huge pain to do as well.
You can design a smartdialer in a way that no part of it has anything to do with the background then you can just change the 3 images you mentioned.

Usually, what is there when you're not using the skin? And where is your back button located? Same level as the numeric keypad or one row above?

There are some skins made by Basiling for Hermes whose dialpads have larger buttons and i think the smartdialer works too.
Go here:
http://hk.geocities.com/s3bl6/qvgaindex.htm
and click on hermes section
very cool stuff!
a note: basiling's skins differ from mine in that it does replace certain phone dlls.

There is usually nothing there, as the back button is on the same level as the numeric keypad. It's as if there's an extra button space added on your skin; unless I use your video skin, that extra button space shows a window to whatever app was running before the dialpad was activated (aka, a "hole" to the app behind the dialpad).
Backing Up
I've just picked up my Hermes from T-Mobile here in the UK. The buttons and skins look great but I need to back up first, what are you guys using to back up WM5?
hello guys,
just installed the PocketCM Contacts & Keyboard now on my Vario2, and I've got a question to Contacts:
is it possible to set PocketCM Contacts as default Dialer-Application?
thanks 4 answers
greets donatello
To be honest I'm not sure about that one, however Pocketcm defaults the "contacts" replacement unless WM Contacts is running (open).
If you are saying you want to press the Hardware Green button to open Pocketcm then I would say unlikely unless you get somink for remapping ALL hardware buttons. Hardware button mapping i have seen doesnt usually cover the Answer / Hangup buttons.
MM
jep I've ment to remap the green hardware-button. I've seen it's the standard contacts manager, but I wanted it as standard dialer too, so it seems to be useless for me
I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I couldn't find, or at least I didn't see the answer for this.
I would like to know if it is possible to add the callprog plugin to the Sliding Panels Homescreen. The reason I ask is because there is times when I need to send a text or get some kind of information from my phone while I'm on talking on my phone and once I close the window that shows the call in progress I cannot go back.
Thank you in advance!
Sure you can.... just click the "back" key until it goes back to the dialer application. And no, regular homescreen plugins cannot be added to the sliding panels homescreen
also if you press the green "dial" key, that will also take you back to the call progress screen.
Yep that too....!
Thank you very much for all the info, appreciate it.
1. Is there a way for the lock screen dialer to take over after dialing a number? I mean, I use the Resco Contact mgr dialer. After dialing a number through that, I get directed to the ****ty default WM6.5.3 dialer. I'm looking for a way to get directed to the lock screen call thing (which is much faster and responsive)
2. Is there a way for the Wm lock screen call thing to come up automatically whenever theres an incoming call? I found this: "http://www.xtkit.com/archives/32", but this doesn't work as efficiently, though it'll do if there's no better solution.
Thanks.
You can use Iconsoft PhonEx or HTC Phone Canvas (search) if you don't want the default dialer.
For automatic locking on an incoming call, you can use Smartlock.
Wow. That...that is an excellent dialer, PhoneEx. Wonder why I haven't heard of it before. Solves all my dialer problems. Thanks a lot
I use the default dialer and I like it alot. Granted I skinned it. But I have auto-lock on, which when used with the dialer, will switch to the lockscreen after you dial a number. The In-Call lockscreen has lots of functions like Speaker, Contacts, etc. Pretty neat.
My latest LITE rom is setup pretty slick using all standard WM apps.
@player911: Which auto lock app do you use which switches to the lockscreen after dialing? The same smartlock that Livven mentioned? I'm quite happy with PhoneEx, but it's commercial, so I'd prefer If I can setup something free.
