[REQ] Dialer themed like payphone

I am surprised nobody has done this yet...but how about a Dialer that looks like the keypad on a public phone?
This is a screenie from one that was done for the iPhone. If I knew more about the structure of an APK, and how the images were, I would try it myself.

This sounds like a similar request someone made sometime ago, I'll have to look for it because I remember someone made it.

I could do it. I've done lots of phone skins back in my WinMobile days. But I have a great fear that if I did, it would catch on like the incredibly stupid 70's flip clock. Can you imagine anything more ignorant than making a beautiful and versatile digital device look like a completely mechanical and annoying piece of counter technology from the 60's and 70's. The only thing worse would be nixie tubes. Yes, I have seen the nixie tube clock skins. Thank God that did not catch on...

This would be cool =]

I actually looked into skinning the phone. It's not as simple as replacing some .png files. It would require quite a bit more work. Sorry dude, not for me.

Well put. Rest assured there are some of us who do appreciate your work and the work of the many others out there. In fact, it's largely due to many of those ungrateful children that I spend very little of my time on XDA any more. I found Twitter to be a better forum; I don't have to follow the people who have nothing helpful to say.

Thank you, I appreciate everyone's work, regardless of if it's my taste or not. The effort everyone puts in to do their own things, is what has made out little Android grow into what we can do today. Ive also found the same, I'd rather use twitter to find stuff out.

Okay, as the OP here, I think it is well within my right to say that this tread has veered WAY off course of its original intention, heh. It was not my intent to have a flame war start, even if it was mildly entertaining for a few minutes
Anyways, for the dev's that have been kind enough to contribute to this discussion: I have used 99% of the ROMs available for the G1, and I thank each and every one of you for your hard work. It is greatly appreciated by more people that I am sure you had ever imagined. Keep up the good work.
Now, back on topic. A refresher:

It could probably be done, as said by others, and it is a nice idea worth looking into. It's certainly possible.

Cleanup applied to thread.
@new posters:
Please respect the OP and not post in the thread if you have nothing constructive to add ... this request is not unreasonable.
Regards,

Hey, given the facepalm from this thread so far I will make the theme for you. Time is precious to me but whatever. I'll post back when I'm done. Yea, you can thank twitter and that fact that teh flamez was had to get me to find this thread. Consider it done I think it would be awesome.

Wow. At first I thought he was being sarcastic. Now, I'm not so sure. Why doesn't he start developing for Apple then if it's that much better? Oh, wait, he needs that cash cow-CWM.

Wow. I can understand trashing Google products if he doesn't like them but to give props to apple, that's more than I can understand.

Trolling doesn't always mean direct sarcasm, I read this as Koush trying to start controversy. I'm pretty sure he meant what he said because it's basically true. Microsoft and Google (and every single phone vendor) routinely release devices with tons of bugs, because devs are already working on the new version and they know they can just patch things later on. I don't pretend to know if it's a matter of skill, lack of testing, or lack of Steve Jobs ashes.
Example: Everyone made a big deal when we found out that holding the iPhone 4 a certain way killed the signal, but I honestly cannot believe there wasn't a similar outrage over the LOS bug the ET4G had at launch. The iPhone signal bug, while unfortunate, was easily fixed by either getting a case or just holding it differently! Compare this to our phone's LOS bug. Fortunately for me I was able to flash a leaked modem to fix my phone, but you can't expect normal people to do that. Most people had to wait way too long for an OTA that fixed something that should have been fixed before launch.

A nexus oath?

I was recently chatting with one of our mods and this is what he had to say:
Owning a nexus is a responsibility. Once you own a Nexus, you own the right to speak for the Android ecosystem as a whole. It all becomes as you put it because you are the high priest of a sacred religion, the source.
It is from this that your prime responsibility emerges as well- you have to help every android user if you know you can, even if you don't want to. Whether they think that their phone is better and cooler or not, whether you look like a friendless and deprived idiot or a desperate nerd.
I know this sounds silly philosophical to you, alluding to a very "brotherhood" vicinity as far as concepts go, but what matters is the result we get from such a mindset- something more open, something more google, forward and responsive, something that iOS kidos cant even think in the lines of.
It is the reason I am ensuring that nexus discussions are sincere, friendly and constructive and everyone trying to derail this process is going to find a tough time.
Its also the reason I am talking to BigG to make nexus devices always niche, so that every nexus owner feels a sense of purpose to the eco system, silently knowing he has what matters most in the android ecosystem

Further in the conversation he went forth outlining how Google can achieve this, compact version of which is:
1. FULL play store access (not restricted by country or device)
2. Closer relationship with google devs
3. Working with manufacturers to get flashable ported versions of their UX leaving a nexus user with more options than others
4. World phone as a standard
5. Permanent discounts on most play content
Do you agree? What are your thoughts?

any chance the mods can loosen up a little bit

I see alot of theads being closed constantly, kinda hampers freedom of speach. Please dont ban me, I just think you guys need to step back and take a breather sometimes before jumping on the close button.
All this time could be put into making my LIVE wallpaper switching program, I have money and google. But I would rather pay than google how to script that out.

Most of the thread being closed have dedicated threads in the stickies sections.
Why waste space and time? I mean I think you could go through and count the number of Apple vs. Samsung threads that have been closed, you'd need more then 2 hands. Same with LTE 4G.

Yes, some moderators can come off as arrogant. I can see their frustration as the threads get bogged down with the same questions over and over again. Although, they need to accept their position as moderator and not allow their frustrations to spew onto others. Lesson... Read, read, read... Your question has been answered 99% of the time. Especially in development threads. The same question asked repeatedly can slow down development, because instead of working on improving the device, they have to answer the same questions 50 times.
