wich rom have you?
wich procedure have you done?

Hi im not sure if this is right ROM version - 1.18.723.3 (23358) WWE
and i have installed this following progs black dialer, finger keyboard, black calculator, flash player, HD tweak, crystal mail and music.
plz advise.... thks...

i understand that you have go to start/settings/today and use this picture as the background and choose image from your device or storage card?

yes but it could not work.. any idea how can go about this without activating the hard reset?

i have the same problem... :/

just rename the wallpaper you want in the existing one and replace,reset.

Where is the default file located, and what is it called..?

Just go to setting if you are using touchFLO, on the menu that slides below and choose wallpaper (home wallpaper) select no whe it ask to change default wallpaper and choose your picture, don't go to today or change wallpaper from the picture viewer it doesn't work, this problen is not fixed in the original rom.
Bye...

as far as I remember changing it on today would only be seen if you can see the today screen and with TF3D running , you can't see it
TF3D is effectively an app that hijacks the screen so it's background is the one you should change

if you are using TF3D you need to scroll to the settings tab on TF and choose wallpaper there.

How to change shortcut on startscreen icons?

Mates,
KE2 with OC KDD kernel; TW4.
How do I change the default apps by pressing Contacts or SMS?
I want to use 3rd party Contacts and SMS app; but still want to use TW4...

Open applications menu. Click menu button and choose edit. For message program change: Drag message icon out into the application area. The drag gosms onto the apps/icons bar. Hope this is clear.

Ahhh; sorry mate; didnt explain clear enough. Got a customized theme; and because of this the icons are according to the theme; but if I change the SMS icon with the Go SMS; then I loose the customized icons.....
But thanx for the tip though :=)

Ahh OK. So to keep the icons the same change the shortcut link different I suppose another option, rather than change the shortcut link, would be to change the icon/shortcut and then change its icon to the your theme.
I have no idea which is easier and how to do it unfortunately so just putting it out there in case it helps. I guess for both these things you may need to root your phone and get a more powerful file browser.

[Q] AOSP dialer alternative?

One thing that keeps me from sticking to the AOSP Roms is the dialer. I hate the whole contact scrolling and not being able to just type and it auto searches possibles. Unless I am just totally missing a setting lol.
Is there another option to the dialer for AOSP? I actually really enjoyed Decks and CM but I can't do the dialer. lol

You can try Go Contacts or Dialer one

I was hoping for a non app alternative. Basically to completely replace the dialer and not just add another one. I will give them a go though. Thank you

Well, if you're in the AOSP dialer and press search you can type whatever name you want?

That is what I am wanting to not so. In the Sense dialers I can just start typing and go with out an addition search button.

Ignore button in incoming call WHITE - Solved

I don't know what caused this but when a call is incoming, the ignore button is totally white while the answer button is normal as it should be.
Any idea what might have caused this?

Have you applied a custom theme? Try changing your theme to the default theme.

the theme is default.
Can the installation of root tools have something to do with that?

This also happened to me, affecting lockscreen numbers too. I'm going to look look into the registry later as I think it's probably just caused by root tools or a custom theme accidentally changing one of the button color codes to #000000. I'll post my findings later.
Sent from my LG-C900B using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

it is happened to me too some time ago (before install root tools 0.9)
when i managed custom themes with metro themes or other homebrew registry hack (ie advanced config or mods for black mails layout) for theming the accent colors
reinstall metrothemes and try to apply default theme to black background and white background also and restart phone (remember to apply black layout to black themes and white to whote themes)
hope you fix, i have fixed my white ignore button with this method

it is due to changing the registry entries of theme/0 or theme/1 folder, chromecolor or an another entry, i have the same issue and get it back with all the stock settings. or you have copied some xaml files to the windows/ folder of your device that changed the registry edits for you, if they are still in the windows folder you must delete them, but you also must delete the custom accent of that xaml that you delete.

I was using the app Metro theme or something like that, homebrew. Reverting to the stock worked.

Thanks.. I reset to default and it works again. Strange as I swear I've done that many times already. Cheers

metro sytle or something? i know, it changes the background but also some other parts and if only one xaml file dont work like it should then some thing mess up the phone icon in call history as example, or the call ending button during call, or the status bar, or the icons of each letter in the people hub. and so on, if you want to change some things you must know which registry entry is for what, and you must know before you change it how it is gonna look use photoshop or some similar program that lets you compare colors, you can paste there your color code from the xaml files, and look if it is the right choice, then simply switch in registry, but only if you are sure what you change

[q] how to change ics stock dialer to another ones

Hello guys
the problem with impossibility change stock ICS dialer by another one from third party is driving me crazy... I tried everything including factory reset and complete wipe. Always the bloody stock dialer come up when use any dialer from the market. Even if I swipped launcher and phone icon on home screen. Third party dialer itself works OK, but when dialing I always getting stock ICS dialer!!
Kinldy ask all for help how to disable stock ICS original dialer that I hate!
Thanks indeed
Ciao

Go to settings for the phone.apk and clear defaults.

I did it, but when dialing form eXdialer, always stock comes up..., I rebooted phone after change, but still in troubless...
any clue?

If you mean the actual dialing (call active), you can't change that. Dialler is the app used to find the number, and the call itself is done through the stock dialer.
Swyped on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus

I recently found the answer in another thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388274

How can I change the default dialler for SGN so I can use Dialer one or Go Contact EX? it wont come up with the action request pop up.

The OP answered it himself, and did so by updating the #1 post, so it might not have looked like the answer...
The phone icon in the launcher is actually a direct link to the phone app so you just have to replace that with your own chosen dialler app! in 2.x it was a link to the default phone app but in ICS it is different.

So, just drag the phone icon off the bottom area and drag the alternate dialer you want to use down there.

Thanks guys for help.
To make it short, the main problem with dialer is that no possibility of SPEED DIAL. This has been solved by using shortcuts on second home screen for frequent calls. The key problem is impossibility to see right below the contact also a company. Actually I register roughly 1.400 contacts in the phone and not always sure about which caller belongs to what company once I get ring up. So I see only the name and not sure about company that the guy comes from.
Maybe some solution is already existing, so I would really apreciate it from you
Ciao
