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...

If anyone wants to send me those images from the windows directory I would be happy to create the buttons and include them in the cab.. Just PM me.. Well, hope you like it...

Great post man

Hi.
Could you please include the images/create the buttons for the Video Calling one? Thanks!!!!!!!!

This looks great -- thanks. I hope you are successful in figuring out how to edit the size of the keys, as I would love a big-button dialer for WM6.

Well, duh, obviously not. I hit the quick reply. I sent him a PM after the fact.
Thanks for your help!!! Have a nice day!
Cheers

Holy crap.. I just cleaned out that folder and found every file that looked to be from the video call dialer and im left with 193 image files.. I'm not sure if I'm missing something but this seems a bit excessive.. I take it that the video dialer looks like the WM5 default dialer? At least that is what it looks like from the files left behind..

This looks really really good. thanks

Thanks for the cab. It looks good, and is closer to the crossbow theme than the standard dialpad, which has black in it. What I really am looking for is a solid crossbow (blue-green) colored dialpad to match crossbow theme and com-manager that I use on my 8525. Any suggestions? Thanks

I think so but please don't quote me on that. I am sure whatever you concoct will be awesome. I look forward to your video dialer cab!

Schap's CommManager - 12 buttons with 3G band switch button!!

As many of you like my Comm Manager style I decided to post here the new version that will be in my next ROM, which includes a nice feature to switch between 2G/3G band simply by tapping the 3G button!
Enjoy!

Assume that Comm Manager is totally closed before installing the new one. To be sure, look in Settings > Memory.

Looking forward to the black background.

WOW thats awesome!
Is it at all possible to customize the 3G button so that it points to a 3rd party app?
I use BandSwitch as I like the timer feature to automatically switch back to 2.5g after x minutes.
Is there a reg entry I can edit to point the button to bandswitch?
Thanks

That's not possible, sorry.

Anything is possible. Remember, there is no "I" in team but there is a "M" and an "E" and that spells ME!!!
Just kidding, I think your CommManager looks great (even in Purple). I like how you put the internet and messaging on there. You would would think someone would have thought about that originally. You should work for HTC setting up ROM usability.

What? You don't like my theme??
I don't know why you like so much those black themes... I think that's a pity, we have a colorful screen! But it's a personnal point of view...
So, to make everybody happy, I released a black version!
(Don't worry if the third screenshot is in french, the CAB is in english version but I installed it on my french ROM.)

OK last request since you seem to be able to change the background so easy can you make one that matched the Lvsw regular windows theme??? please lol...

On P3600 wifi dsn't work.
Very nice, tks.

I installed the cab on my Orange ROM, but the 3G connexion was impossible (only Edge).
I removed your cab and now my phone connects only on Edge (no more 3G) : any idea ?

Hello Shap,
what means the symbol like the wireless but with a telefon handset ?

nice work...but 3G doesn't connect to 3G...it just stays connected to GSM...

not this one
i'm not looking for this one above.
the Dailped i'm looking for is this one like in the mus_rus INDIGO version.

But it's the same,i've changed just the taskbar color with my theme.When i've installed it on my p3600,i've the same color ( green task bar ).

Looks nice, works on the last anz dopod rom.
However it really slows down the device.
Start up time is allot longer.
Probably because everything is installed in the windows folder.
Anyone know if it can safely be uninstalled?

Does it work with the Hermes?
Can someone attach it to this thread? Rapidshare is a pain sometimes!
Update: It works with Hermes.

I am not sure why mun should do that
why would he post a cab to his work so you can use it in someone elses ROM? Have you asked the cook of the ROM you are using? Bit rich if you ask me.

Remember that mUn also took someone else work into his ROM...thrust me. It is about give and take and share...But for ROM MAKER, it is quite understood they always want to keep their work within their ROM jst to maintain their uniqueness and fans. So it is up to mUn I believe.
I remember nUm once found out how to enable the 6th tab of Kaiser Home Plugin. He keep it for himself for a week....he is sure his ROM with integrated Kaiser 6tabhome plugin is going to be release tomorrow so he post the cab over the kaiser plugin thread only to find out that the plugin have so many problem and his tweaking for 6th tab also mess up something I believe he cancelled the release of the ROM...Now that most of the home plugin problem already solved...I am wandering if he still use his original problematic 6tab?

Fair point
Fair point guys. Sorry for my rant

Bug with slide2unlock.
When i touch the dial button (green) it launch directly the last call i had passed ...
removed with regrets

Seems to be a bug also with SPB Phone shell.... or at least i think its phone shell. When powering on from stand by the phone automatically dials last number. Before hard reset the phone would just auto dial every 5 minutes.
Just curious as to why the cab is 3mb in size.... is it because of the 3G stuff or just the graphics ?
Nogs

need this 3g dialer too,
mUn, please cab it,,,,,,,,,
Thanks

This dialer is from duronmarcel, try to search for is work in this forum.

Excalibur in 96 DPI

IMO it looks really really nice but of course all the system icons aren't adapted to the new resolution...if any of you know how to edit DLLs and can make an icon set that is adapted to the new resolution it'd be greatly appreciated
to achieve the resolution all you have to do is set the registry values [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsX] from 131 to 96 in decimal

Call me crazy but I can't see much of a difference in graphics aside from the extra real estate, which is evident through the additional menu items listed per screen. Has your device been less stable or slower since making the switch? Also, I heard that you need specific .dlls to make the top icons fit properly, is this true and if so where did you get them?

the device is completely stable....and the top icons never worked except the pngs from the rinku topbar. and those are cut off a bit because of the new settings. i know u need specific dll edits and im hoping one of the big dogs could cook a few up for me. ALL the system icons are jagged under 96dpi...and the call screen is also out of wack. i like it cause it looks nicer and makes file browsing easier...so yea. imma keep up hope.

bump x 2.4

so no help with this 96dpi issue? sheesh. the vox people already have a fully functional 96dpi rom....

so I'm never gonna have anyone take this request into consideration huh?
aiight....

joining prayers...
Hey, nice finding man!
If I had any skills as programmer I´d be working on it, but since I have none, all I can do is join you in your requests/prayers... lol
Seriously, can any skilled willing programmer/developer give the guy a help? I guess many will enjoy it.
Cheers.

@ AbsoluteDesignz
I´ve got a little question on the dpi matter...
Do you know if is there any intermediate (between 131 and 96) dpi that can be set without messing the phone up?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers.

ive tried 108, 120, and even went as low as 72...every setting aside from the 131 has the same issues. White System Notification Icons, Jagged system Icons and STK icons out of wack (in 96 DPI the only icons that work are the default ones and in other settings the proportions are off)

I'm with you guys! Let's make this happen!
