I have edited some existing skins for the new AKU 3.3 V2 ROM (posted as sticky).
To keep the rom thread clean I opened a new one for the dailer skins.
This is for AKU 3.3 (v2) Rom ONLY
Already build:
Eten skin blue
Based on Geo77's Eten Skin:

Classic Grey Skin
Based on Jakaroe808's classic Grey skin (almost completely redrawn)
cab link:
Download old release here
NEW RELEASE:
Classic Grey Light (new release):
- No system fonts on dailer (landscape or portrait)
- So button text is better alligned.
- light footprint: uses build-in-rom files for smartdail, and backgrounds are png in stead of bmp
- Only 306 KB !!
These skins have smartdail capability.
Known Bugs:
The text/numbers are out alignment first time after reset.
When you slide the keyboard open and close it again it will re-align, and it doesn't happen again untill the next reset.
I STILL have no clue what is causing this..
Skin Builder
I have included a "skin cab builder".
AKU33_skinbuilder.zip is the one based on Classic Grey.
AKU33_skinbuilder_eten.zip is the one based on Eten Skin.
Classic-grey-light_skin-builder.zip is the one based on Classic Grey LIGHT
Extract the zip, edit the BMP's in the "windows" folder.
Do not RENAME the windows folder OR it's content!
Double-click on the make-cab.bat, and a cab will be build.
To personalise the cab, edit the dailerskin.inf
Have fun and post the results here
Some added information
Shamelessly copied from Tofclock in the buzzdev.net forum..
This is about the registry settings, so you can modify the inf to your personal needs:
For VerbButton and talkendbutton :
"textFlags" is the text position on button :
dword 0 : top left
dword 1 : top center
dword 2 : top right
dword 4 : middle left
dword 5 : middle center (default value)
dword 6 : middle right
dword 8 : bottom left
dword 9 : bottom center
dword A : bottom right
"textColor" is the text color when button is Normal or Pressed
dword value : BBGGRR (default value is 0 (000000))
where BB , GG , RR is value 0 -> FF
eg. FF0000 -> blue color , 00FF00 -> green color ...
"textDisabledColor" is the text color when button is Disabled
same as above for dword value
"textRCMLStyle" is the text font style on button
dword 0 : small size , normal
dword 1 : medium size , normal
dword 3 : small size , bold (default value)
dword 11 : medium size , bold
dword 20 : very big size , bold
dword 21 : big size , bold
dword 22 : big size , normal
For dialbuttons
minor prefix is for letters
major prefix is for numbers ...
colors are same as above
RCMStyle are same as above
Flags are same as above but letters and numbers are not superposable
Another dword value to set order of dialbutton text :
"textLayoutFlags" :
dword 0 : Numbers , then Letters
dword 1 : Letters , then Numbers
dword 2 : just Numbers (No letter)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[EDIT] 01.feb.'07:
Found a way to disable Text/numbers in the dailpad:
"MajorFlags"=dword:000f0f0f
"MinorFlags"=dword:000f0f0f
On other buttons, to disable system text you should use:
"TextFlags"=dword:000f0f0f

Guys
I have tried bith the blue and grey dailers. The grey dailer doesnt match up properly.
the the outer edge of the box containing the 1,2,3 etc goes over the last dailed number bit.
just thought i would mention it in case others are having the same issue

Superom Dialer Skin
Has Anybody Gotten This Skin To Work With Faria's Lates Rom. For Me. It Is One Of The Best Skins Around. Though I'm Currently Using The Gray Skin Spoken Of Here. Thanks For The Work You've Done So Far.
Used the grey skin today... same thing about misalignment.
Just tried blue... it won;t close properly. Tried "close all" from both iLauncher and Oxios also, which both closed the phone screen but seemed to leave an instance in memory. FreeUP RAM from SK Tools seemed to close it, but then on re-opening phone the text is misaligned.
Will keep playing with it.
Oh, also, smart dial on the blue dialer only seemed to work once.
Soft reset, and now the text seems permanently misaligned on blue.

I haven't encountered these problems with blue one yet.
I will hardreset and try again.
What blue did you use?
The one from skinbuilder or the cab from link? (they use a different dll)
Oh, also, smart dial on the blue dialer only seemed to work once.

This happens if the smartdailing has been forcefully closed..
When using X-button, set it to: End programs by tapping and holding "X"
I'm using the blue from the cab files. not from the skin builder.apart from the given open close keyboard . there is nothing wrong with it. it stays aligned and smartdial works all the time. I will try to use the blue from skinbuilder tonight to see if there are other problems. I actually built a new skin last night but the cab wouldn't load. also I noticed that that my new cab was much smaller than the blue one. I must have missed a step somewhere .this leads me to my other problem. all I want to do with the blue skin is to add some words to each key. ie where it says abc2 I want it to say bhai2. where can I change this? thanks
Using the grey
Works very well for me.
The issue with the misalignment is a pain, but I can live with it until someone posts a fix
Maybe this helps?

I am my work now, so I can't give "full service" to you guys right now
However;
Please try the following: go with an registry editor to:
HKLM > security > phone > skin > dailer > Portrait > Dailbutton
add new string: "textFlags" with dword value: "4"
You can do this for Landscape also (There the misalignment is even worse)
This should allign the dailbutton text to Middle left..
You have to reset to make changes visible.
[edit]
It seems "textFlags" doesn't work.
It worked in other versions of the dailer software..

Is this a problem with Smartdial 2.5?
Everything was working fine for me yesterday with the base Faria 3.3 ROM V2 (Great job Faria - Thanks!!!) on my Wizard G3.
I then updated with the patch which provides 2.5 smartdial, and the blue dialler skin.
Immediately saw this problem. Uninstalled the skin, still the same problem with the base skin. First time after soft reset, smart diall works. Just make a call, end it, and the next time you call (I didnt press any X buttons or anything) and no smartdial.
I did a hard reset, which made me lose the 2.5 smartdial ( in addition to the other stuff obviously) and this time I only installed the dialler skin.. and no problem with smartdial.
Seems like there may be a problem with 2.5 smartdial - but since on one else said so... I dunno.
What is your experience guys?
Thank you for the ROM Faria, you rock!
Regards
Manu

I take back what I said
My blue dailer only smartdaills once after reset.
I guess its got to go until its fixed
anyone know how can I get the original one back?
Thanks
Maybe I am doing something wrong..I installed this and it is not working for me!
There are no numbers on the buttons and the alignment is way off. Anyone else having this problem?
CID unlocked G4, running 3.3 (latest)

Sorry, not sure I understand. I'm using the X function in iLauncher. As noted, I also tried 'Close All Apps' from iLauncher, and 'CloseApps' and 'Hibernate' from Oxios.

Yeah, I've been trying these dialer skins after installing the patch, so maybe it's a problem with 2.5.

If you close the dailer with such app it will be forced down and smartdail won't open again..
Once loaded, it should be closed on the old fashoned "windows-style"
(meaning, not realy closing it..)
BTW, I have no way in alligning fonts, textFlags doesn't allow that.
Instead I am busy editing Classic Gray with predrawn numbers/text BUT with smartdail functionality.
It requires redrawing Landscape background and adjusting the registry settings because I added some extra button functionality will be released soon..

I did the 2.17 upgrade tonight, proceeded to install my old software, ran into problems with a persistent "notification" that displayed nothing when I clicked the notification button...so I've uninstalled almost everything - got right of the notification issue - and I'm planning to get some sleep now before reloading.
BUT...in the meantime, I'm down to a pretty barebones machine now. A few things left, including:
- resco explorer & registry editor
- MemMaid
- OpenNETCF SDF 1.4
- MS Voice Command
- Wizard Registry Tweaks by xelencin
- Total Commander
(last two from the ROM)
So...as I have the Settings / System / Remove Programs window open, I can see the Cellular signal strength icon in the title bar, and in the upper right corner, the "ok".
As soon as I return to the home page, right half-inch of the title appears to be painted over with the same blue as the title bar itself -- from the right edge over to about half way through the cellular signal strenth icon.
Any ideas about this???
I have this same problem and the only things i have installed are:
- OpenNETCF SDF 1.4
- Wizard Registry Tweaks by xelencin
And I mean, those are the only things i have installed. My guess is that the registry wizard is having problems with the new battery icon thats now on the title bar after upgrading to the new i-mate rom

Try clearing the option to show time, or show date and time, on the taskbar in the Registry Wizard. That should solve it.

Thanks -- I'll have to try reinstalling Registry Wizard for that (unless you know what particular key it changed? Maybe I can find it in the forum...). I had uninstalled Registry Wizard while trying to debug my setup, because of seeing the "Exception" warning every time I ran it..although it *seemed* ok after click "ok" on the warning. I suspect something was wonky with the initial install of it, since I tried it first (accidentally) without opennetcf, got a warning that it was needed, then proceeded to install opennetcf, after which Registry Wizard *seemed* ok....sort of.
I'll try reinstalling Registry Wizard and seeing if it works now.

Messier and messier. Although I *thought* I had uninstalled Registry Wizard, something must be left behind...an attempt to reinstall gave me an error to the effect that a config file couldn't be opened. Looking through directories and trying to make sense of the setup log. I'd like to fix this if possible...if not, I guess I'll just reflash and start from scratch, although I'd really like to get to the point where I can undo individual changes to the system rather than having to resort to starting from scartch each time.
Try this:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Key: TBOpt (dWord)
Value = 0 (show nothing)
Other values:
1=Time
2=Date
3=Time and date
Also, by the way, no need to reflash in the future. Just Clear Storage.

I had found that in the WM5_Tweaks_Other thread and that's the way it's set now (and I just verified after doing a soft reset). Right next to it, I'm seeing a value "ShowTitleBarClock" set to "1". Going to try turning this off and seeing what it looks like. I've browsed the registry pretty deeply, and don't see too many other things that appear to be related (but I know these can be pretty obscure).
I also verified that it's nothing with a particular skin. I switched, for example, to "guava bubbles", and oddly enough, the title bar speaker icon and right half of the signal strength icon show up - for about a second, before whatever it is obscuring them appears. Also - this only seems to be happening on the today screen. Rebooting now...
edited 11:18am EST -
After making the change, soft resetting and verifying that the change is actually in the registry, I still see this (sorry for picture quality - but I think it shows what's masked - right side of signal strength icon, and the entire vol/speaker icon:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

btw: thanks re: "clear data" tip - I hadn't quite got to the point where I had reflashed, but I'm close! If it gets to that, I'll clear data instead - thx.
just to check.. did you set the TBOpt value to 0 (zero) or 1 (one)?

I had set it to 0 (zero).
The weird behavior was most visible in the moments after change themes (using WM's own facility for that). As I mentioned above, switching from default, for example, to "guava bubbles" (built into WM5 distribution), I would see a complete normal title bar - for about a second or two, and then something would apparently be written over it in the same color as the title bar. In the picture, you can see that whatever it is only half covers the signal strength icon. If I let the phone site quietly and watch, I can see a momentary blink - as if the screen is getting repainted, and this "mask" is getting refreshed on top of the title bar.
I finally gave up trying to fix this, although I'd love to know what it is (was). Besides this weird painting problem, nothing I did seemed to get Registry Wizard to install properly again. I continued to get the "exception" warning on startup - so something apparently still wasn't kosher, even though I pulled out all the dirs, files and reg entries I could find that seemed related, and also removed opennetcf. I wish WM5 uninstall would actually do a more thorough job!
I finally did a "clear data" and all looks correct once again -- except that I have to slog through reinstalling all my apps -- and I'm HOPING that I don't scrag things again in the process.
Are there any new known app incompatibilities with this version vs the shipping TMo version? For example - the notification issue was experiencing disappeared once I uninstalled iLauncher -- but I don't know if that means anything, since the install itself might have been messed up. I've got Wisbar 2.6 installed and humming along happily, and I'm about to install:
- PocketBreeze
- ContactBreeze
- iLauncher
- MemMaid
- OpenNETCF
- RegistryWizard (should I?)
- PocketZenPhone
- MS Voice Command
- Resco Explorer & Reg Editor
- some Juni skins
BTW: as an aside - WiFi connect is SO fast with this new load! I've got a Belkin "pre-N" setup with WPA/TKIP, and this found it instantly when I turned on WiFi, connected right away, and a little speed test I ran via DSLReports showed me getting about 1100Kbps down into the MDA. Sweet!
More later as I reinstall my apps one at a time... keep your fingers crossed for me -- or if you see something incompatible in my list, please let me know!!!
thx again for everyone's help with this, and for the 2.17 ROM installer in the first place - good stuff!
btw - Wish I could edit the "date" bar in the Today screen, but I can live with that - and may simply turn it off, since I've got Wisbar Adv 2 installed, showing the date and time in the title bar -- only missing the word "Saturday" if I turn off the Today "date bar".
well, that might've been the problem - should be set to 1, 2 or 3 - never 0

OK...can't argue that, just surprised after having read other posts here (and elsewhere as follows:
Open the PPC registry and look for the following key
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Add a D_WORD Value TBOpt and make it equal to 3.
0 - NO time displayed
1 - only Time is displayed
2 - only Date is displayed
3 - Date & Time displayed

I'm going to try not touching it by hand right now. Instead, I'll be installing my apps one by one, soft resetting in between and seeing exactly what works and what doesn't.

Mine is set to 1 with no problem. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
Zeboxx. What problem does setting to 0 cause?
Well, normally if TBOpt is set to zero, the time will disappear from the task bar, and you may be left with a rectangle obscuring icons (which slide to the right as the time is now gone). This is on pre-AKU2 ROMs. Not sure what happens with it on AKU2 ROMs as they poked at the time thing on the taskbar there in horrible ways anyway %) And, of course, if you use some taskbar overlay thing like wisbar advance, then that whole TBOpt thing doesn't apply anyway.

Wow...this "rectangle obscuring icons that slid to the right" sounds exactly like what I was seeing in the WM5 title bar on the today screen.
Does the obscuring rectangle obediantly disappear when you change TBopt back to a non-zero value? (not that this matters for moment for me, since I started over and am gradually reinstalling everything now)
it should, yes. Again, I don't know how it reacts with AKU2 exactly - with AKU2, on the Today screen, there's a big fat battery meter instead of the clock anyway; but it should still apply to the clock when on other screens.
Edit: let me take a few screenshots for your consideration -_-
See attachment for examples of the TBOpt setting.
Note that the SSDte format in use is
Code:
"ddd/d "
The spaces at the end are to make sure that the OK/Close rect doesn't overlap with the date.
It's easy to see that with a value of '0', a rectangle gets placed over the icons (which slide to the right as the time/date is gone), obscuring them entirely or partially.
Also, with a value of '2', there's a small vertical bar present - not sure what the deal is with that
I normally use the value '3' so that both date and time are present.

Excellent! Your picture on the left is exactly what I was seeing -- great explanation too. Also found the detailed code explanation on the microsoft site, although I probably won't be messing with it, since Wisbar Adv takes over title bar formatting. But this is great to know. Amazing, though, the way MS implemented this -- sure feels like a hack job placing an obscuring rectangle on TOP of the title bar. That's the kind of trick we used to play when we were first experimenting with skinning Windows apps years ago on the pc...Txh again for taking the time to detail it out.
Hi,
I try to explain a similar problem in english
I would like to use contactbreeze (v 1.2.0.1) in full screen mode.
This is what happens:
As you can see the contact on top of the list is not visible because the top bar is overlapping it.
I tried all three reg settings but it didn´t help.
Do you have any suggestions for me ?
Marcus
This is a bug inside of contactbreeze.
They said they will fix it in the next release !
I think the letters in the Kaiser Dialer are too small, mainly when I'm driving and serching contacts with the spped dial.
So I've made a new skin for my Kaiser dialer, with biger Numbers & Letters, and I'm sharing it with you guys.
Hope you like it.

If you are using the Original Kaiser Dialer, just install the attached CAB.
If you are using some othe Dialer, DO NOT Install! it will probably mess up your Dialer!
If you dont like it after you have installed, just Uninstall from "Remove Programs" and Soft Reset.
Enjoy!
Thanks. More dialers are definitely needed.
One question for you: is there a way to make the buttons even bigger, like to fill the whole screen? No dialer does that yet. I don't need the call history button. I guess we would have to keep the back button and a window to show the number we're dialing.
New Skin For "Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser- Biger Numbers & Letters
I've also made a new skin with Biger Numbers & Letters for "Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser.cab".
(all credit for this dialer is going to Nadavi & Dutty ).
If you are using "Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser.cab" just install the attached CAB and Soft Reset.
If you are using some othe Dialer, DO NOT Install! it will probably mess up your Dialer!
If you dont like it after you have installed, just Uninstall "Shayd BigNum&LetInTDDialer" from "Remove Programs", Than Uninstall "Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser" and than Install again "Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser.cab" and Soft Reset.
Enjoy!
Great My man!!!
Thanks

Thanks.... ? request...
Could I make a small request - and first - THANKS!.... I know many people like the iPhone Dialer - and I am one of them. The Numbers are just BIG - and there is not much other than NUMBERS and NUMBER DIALED on the screen. I also know the screen is a little larger - but easy to use.
I have not skinned a WM6 dialer and know there is some areas you simply need to work around to preserve on this screen - I think? Is it POSSIBLE... for someone not needing Smart Dialing - Video Dial - or anything other than BIG NUMBERS and the NUMBER at top in a skin?
I would be willing to donate to this cause. I know someone posted a request for this in another threat with a picture of the iPhone actual dialer - but really all it is are the buttons, number being dialed, and the back arrow ...
Since you were diving into these I was wondering if it would be worthy to make a request?
Thanks again - really do appreciate it.
Well done suites my eyes now
Any way to make it with capital letters? I feel like that might look better...? Or maybe a different font?
-Taylor

Thanks again - really do appreciate it.

Hi,
I can try to do that, but I think it is much more difficult than just skining a dialer like I did here

I think so to. it was just an experiment, and it came out quite good for me, but I think I can improve that. I will work on it.
Another New Skin for TouchDual Dialer.
Here is another skin I have made:
If You already using the TouchDualDialer, download Shayd BigNums&LetsTDDialer2.cab, install and SR.
If you are not using the TouchDualDialer, download Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser(ModifiedByShayd).cab, install and SR.
Enjoy!

Nice work again
In trying to see differences between this dialer and the previous, I see two lines with a phone icon to the left and the letteres m and w to the right. What are they for?
Hello everybody,
since I installed this CAB, the "hide keypad" function had disappeared, and the menu (this on the bottom right corner) had some missing stuffs...
Why ?
I use the Schap's v4.31 fr
Thanks a lot !
I don't see a problem with the size of the fonts / numbers.
I would love to see a dialer though where the buttons take up the whole screen. All these dialers are for midget fingers
I'm with CoolVariable. Will someone in this forum eventually develop a BIG dial pad -- fully functional (the iPhone ones are not) for the Kaiser? The best one, I think, is Nadavi's and Dutty's, but the numbers are awfully small, and there is no option to remove the video calling for those of us who don't use it.
Modern font, big letters

Thanks for this! I like this font much better than your first one - this has a more modern appearance IMO - could you do this one in non-caps also?
Yes, I'm with you guys.
Can anyone create a big button dialer that can be user customized to a degree? I also would like to loose the video call button but replace it with the Shortcuts button.
Free up screen space for it by loosing the micro photos of people that I already know. Loose the two lines that show last call numbers (ps. m = mobile, w = work). I also don’t need non responsive smart dials. Let’s use the screen space for big buttons, good old fashioned short cut button, and lets add some ability to user customize the buttons ie bring buttons in and out depending on user choice.
Having said this, the new dialers ARE much better on the eye than the HTC standard.
Thanks!!
Why is it that everytime I've downloaded and installed these new dialers I am forced to hard reset my device. Everytime I download and install the dialers it for some odd reason activates my Roaming triangle and it turns on.
Hebrew support?
Shay, what about Hebrew support?
Thanks.
I'm having a hard time removing these dialers completely. They seem to be leaving things behind.
I've tried SKTools to completely uninstall but that is failing as well.
Any tips short of a hard reset (gasp)?
Gators
Incase anyone is interested I got bored yesterday.
I have no idea how to make a cab file or anything, In fact I just happen to stumble on the png files and made these to replace them.

GO HERE FOR A THEME THAT MATCHES THIS FOR rltoday, mortbuttons, s2u2 and PocketCM!!: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2325150#post2325150
Here you will also find a keyboard skin I made that goes along nicely with this theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2325160#post2325160
I was playing around with my Pidgin/Manila theme for PocketCM (found here) and wasnt satisfied, so I decided to upgrade it a bit..
I am starting a new thread to make it easier and simpler to find, since the preview image is so large on the post of the first version it would get too confusing..
anyway.. here is what I came up with!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...preview does not include Segoe UI as font (it is a preview of v23 version, I have not updated it to show v25.. improvements are listed below, but Segoe UI looks much cleaner, very crisp...
As you can see when comparing this version to the last the contact page is cleaner, there are alphabetical separators and the topbar has been changed.
UPDATED FOR V.24 of POCKETCM
I have also attached Segoe UI font... truly makes this theme look much better (if you do not install the font, I am not sure how it will look, some of the placement of text may be slightly off)
for this theme you really only need segoeui (regular) and segoeuib (bold).. just place them in your \windows\fonts folder on your device!
..the font segoeuiz=Segoe UI Bold and Italic..
improvements for v.24 version:
..customized for Segoe UI font (works even if you dont have Segoe... but Segoe makes it look much better)
..made it compatible with v24 contacts (mostly image support)
..customized background color for new flip animation
..few other slight tweaks
Upon request here is a version with numbers hidden in contact view (the zip called no numbers) - when contact is highlighted the number will be there, but it is hidden when scrolling through
smspicture uploaded... just as it says.. added picture to sms view, also contact phone number to sms view and mirror to contact picture in contact detail view.
-----------------
UPDATE v25+
...new options page
...new feedback image
...sms progress bar added
...sms picture added
...new contact edit page
...new pressed image (contact list)
...works with v25 and up
...scrollbar everywhere but contactlist (gets in the way of contact pressed image in contact view)
...no screenshots.. but it looks better and now works with v25 and up
3 versions
...sms pic, numbers in contact list (htctoucher pidgin manila v25+.zip)
...no numbers in contact view (htctoucher pidgin manila v25+ no numbers.zip)
...no pic in sms view (htctoucher pidgin manila v25+ no sms pic.zip)
Enjoy!

hello,
Great theme.
But there is one thing that bothers me (that was the same with the previous version): when the dialpad is on and when I clic on one of the 3 buttons (#, 0 or C) it activates one of the buttons of the bottom line.
Sorry if it's not clear, but english is not my native language.
I understand..
the problem is that in order to be able to have the icons increase in size when pressed on, I have to make its pressable box be larger than its initial size. This means that the pressable box of the bottom row of icons is set under the three bottom-most buttons of the phonepad.
It shouldnt give you any problems though. All that happens is some of the bottomrow buttons will increase when you press #, 0 or C, but they will not be activated. At least not on my device.
Unless I change how the bottom row of icons look when pressed, I cannot really fix this. It is more of a graphical problem than funtional though so it is not too big of a problem. Also, if you press the very center of the #,0,C keys, this wont happen.
glad you like the theme!
thanks
htctoucher
great update. thank you!
thanks for your reply, and never mind if you cannot fix this. I'll keep it as it is.
very nice!~~
It's so much faster. I like it! I have a problem with this version though. the program closes itself and reopens every time I try to send a text message. It actually doesn't send anything. I'll press and hold for a few seconds and still nothing. Any ideas?

I have not experienced this. How are you trying to send SMS? Are you in the SMS threaded view and then just pressing the "SEND" button?
I know that if you go into options and have "use old app for sending SMS" activated then when you are in the contact detail of someone and press "SMS AND HISTORY" then it will close out of PocketCM temporarily so you can write a message with the default wm text messaging.
Is this the problem you are having?
Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I do not have "use old app for sending SMS" activated and I am trying to send the message through the SMS threaded view. I checked with my girlfriend and she actually received six messages (one for each time I tried to send the message), but the message I sent her is actually not showing in the threaded view so I assumed it was never sent.

yeah I actually noticed similar problems when sending messages... it seems to be this version of pocketcm..
I found that if I hold the send button once for 250ms (a short period) with the keyboard up it will minimize the keyboard and appear to have done nothing. At this point I found if I waited instead of continuing to press the send button that the sent SMS would then pop into the threaded view.
basically I think the only solution seems to just be to wait instead of continuing to press the send button.. or just press it once and then go back to contact view.
hope that helps
htctoucher
Ok. Thank you
Is it possible to change the contact list so that it goes first name, last name instead of how it is now?
Thanks,
ill
PocketCM uses the "File as" information from the contacts data. So if you want "First name, Last name", you have to change it there...
Afair, it's only editable since WM6 (and not in PCM), so you might have to do it in Outlook on your desktop PC.
thank you i changed the file as format and it worked perfect.
ill
Really nice skin. I do though have some problems. I use it on my HTC Diamond and have just installed the PocketCM software and followed your guide. The problem is that the skin doesnt fit the screen. E.g. the white boxes around the text is located outside the text so it doesnt fit.
Have I done something wrong?

nope, you havent done anything wrong..
htc diamond I believe is a VGA screen, which means it is twice the size in pixels from QVGA.. this theme is made for a QVGA screen.
I dont have a VGA screen to test on, so I cant really make this theme in VGA.. if someone with a VGA screen could create the settings.ini file needed, I could potentially redo the graphics!
hi mate
thanks for a great skin
i have one question
is it possible to scroll for first letters also with right part of the screen?
i mean, i have to use left finger to click on 'A' for example and drag to 'T', i just can't do this with right thumb
Landscape Mode
my favorite skin for pocketcm...however in landscape mode there is a black square on the bottom bar between the sms and option button. Doesn't really bother me but would be nice if it was fixed. Been trying to find a fix through all the threads but unable to. I am using a mogul on the new sprint rom and pocketcm 0.24. Also if you would create two versions...one with the numbers under the names on the contact page and one without any numbers just names on the contact page. I think the numbers clutter the page and cause hurting to the eyes. However great page and i will make sure to donate for further developments.
glad to hear you like the theme!
in regards to having the ability to jump letters of names on the right of the screen as well, that should already be possible.. not sure why that isn't working for you.
and the landscape issue annoys me as well.. it seems to be a problem with the program.. I am still trying to find a fix and if I do will be releasing a new version to correct it.
and yeah, I will whip up a version with no second line under contact names
thanks for your feedback!
htctoucher
jumping letter
Sorry for the miscommunication...I am able to scroll through the contact letters by scrolling the right side of the screen. That function DOES work. But can't wait to get this theme flawless. Thanks to htctoucher and all of the individual developers. You guys put the wow factor into pocketpc's that microsoft always avoids.
Firstable sorry for the delay, Ive been busy doing other things. This HTC dialer skin made from HTC OEM pack you can find it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533, its very simple skin inspired by diamond, I know there is to many dialer skins but most of them has bugs or speed dial not working so I went ahead and skinned the HTC OEM dialer like I did with my vista skin, This is a not a program that I created myself, this the original HTC Dialer skinned, I did some registry editing to get the icons show in the progress and also changing the colors of the text and selection, so please dont be asking me question concerning the program itself becaue I did not make it, Im just a skinner, if you have any issue concerning the HTC dialer not working in your device, put your question in the thread mentioned above. anything about the graphics Im ready to answer your questions.
If you like what I do, Click in Donate Button in my signature to buy me a drink, thanx.
Update 7/27/05
- New HTC dialer CAB with END/TALK fixed, now are separate buttons thanx to superflysocal for the heads up. (poorlyduck Diamond Dialer.cab)
- Added Call History Icons thanx to akadonny for the Tip.
- Made new cab for Mogul (Titan users) using BlueFrog Big buttons dialer Template. (poorlyduck Titan Diamond Dialer.cab)
- Made a black Dialer skin, Remember, this skin is from HTC OEM dialer linked above, means if the HTC dilaer works for u, then this will with no problems.
Not To do list:
- 3G Dialer with video call as I dont have a 3G device, I looked in the original graphic files and its totally different, So Im skipping this one, sorry guys.
- VGA Version of this dialer as I dont own VGA device to test.

Yes I have a CDMA version. I found the HTC Dialer ZIP on the link you posted. I s that the one you are using? Or is it another one?
UPDATE
I just checked the registry entries from the HTC Dialer and it's missing a lot of registry entries that would allow you to customize the dialer extensively.
What you could do is use the Mogul Big Button Dialer (CDMA) and just change the registry entries and XML to install the rest of the necessary images to work with GSM / Touch "Vouge" phones too.
Or just copy the registry entries from the Mogul Big Button dialer into the HTC Dialer.
I would do the first suggestion, just because it would allow CDMA users to use your dialer, or you might have to make a separate one if you chose to.
will this contain smart dial,redial and big contact picture

I just tried it on my XV6800 with the "Mogul Big Button Dialer"
I changed two things and it changed the entire Text in the Screen and the digits when you dial.
HKLM -- Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--Text TextColor=
HKLM --Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--VerbButton textColor=
I changed mine both to a decimal value of 16777215 "White"
so you can probably do this for both and have the text white like how you intended.
The registry entries are case sentative. Especially between "TextColor" and "textColor"
UPDATE
I posted a sample REG Key from my phone.
It's inside the ZIP.
carlos,
even if the touch stock doesn't have a key that changes that color, if we can find out what the key is, you can just add the key on the touch and it "should" work as well. can you export the keys to a reg file and post it and we will dissect and figure out what key it is.

I have CDMA Sprint as well as you and I own Mogul. The only down part about the blue frog big button is that it doesnt bring the same functions as the actual dialer, for example mute becomes save and also the pressed icons they're all blank, I know Im missing the ## functions and I never tried 911 but Im not worried about that because I carry always flip phone m610 or lg rumor with it, I added all the registry entrys from bluefrog concerning the the textcolor but none worked, thanx for attempting to help out.

No problem, but can't you just add the registry entries from the HTC Dialer to the Flue frog dialer to add the extra images (when the button is pressed)?
And also remove the text entries in the progress page and just make dedicated graphics like the ones that me and superflysocal have on our dialers?
just an idea.

I think Im gonna try that and see if it will work, if it does then its great news, I had it with the images but when iys connected it shows speaker phone, mute, flash, note, contacts, and end but when the call ends the speaker phone changes to call history and flash changes to hold so if I do that the graphics they should change as well but I dont think its possible. I might seem a pain but im very picky about my skinning, I like everything functional and not just decor lol

Well the progress pages seems to be exactly the same as the Touch / HTC Dialer.
So the only changes you will probably make are in the main screen.
I was thinking of doing this in the past, but I got lazy. Especially with other projects and stuff in mind.

well if you are picky about that, then what our skins do won't work for you. The graphics doesn't change even if the functions do. But on my sprint touch stock dialer, the only change is speakerphone to call history, and it is something i can live with...never used that function anyway.
On mogul with big button dialer, there are two thinhs that change ...speaker phone to call history and mute to save.

yes I do use the call history, sometimes from my dialer, well I dont just release any skin for just releasing something, yeah im very picky. I like to release great quality stuff for this community. my subject was to release this skin with Grey color connected and call ended text but [email protected] stepped up and was willing to help then we brought the bluefrog dialer in the subject and I appreciate that, Ive known bluefrog dialer for a while now but for me its just limited when it comes to skinning and yet very easy, a couple images and here you have new skin which is good, but most of the members here uses GSM phone and skinning the HTC dialer was the way to go for me. I will be releasing one for CDMA but it will be in ppcgeeks where all CDMA users reunited.
thank you for the headsup.
This is the first ROM I'm cooking.
I focus on:
Lite memory usage
No third party programs
No programs that only a minority of the users will use
I present my first ROM. Before this I didn't know how to cook a ROM but I learned! I decided to cook this ROM because I was not satisfied with the current offerings. I wanted a ROM with just the HTC software and no visual changes to Manila.
NOTE:
This ROM is setup for AT&T Tilt2. To use it on a different Rhodium, set your own keyboard layout (Tools folder in the Start Menu) and AGPS settings.
Check the second post for the Quick-Fix section to see if there are any fixes for the current ROM.

Warnings:
Package gb18030 is OFF which means Chinese software MAY not run correctly.

I'm not quite done with it but I am nearing completion. Before this I didn't know how to cook a ROM but I learned! I decided to cook this ROM because I was not satisfied with the current offerings. I wanted a ROM with just the HTC software and no visual changes to Manila.
After installing my own programs and resetting, I have 90-95MB of RAM free. There is about 230MB of free storage capacity after first boot.
So far I would like to thank
Bilbobrian for the taskbar icons
Shadowline for the base images used for the softkey buttons and top and bottom bar, though they were slightly modified.
Since I am on AT&T I will have the AT&T keyboard configuration and AGPS settings set as default. I will include a cab to switch them back to WWE if needed.

When are you releasing it? You style of lite rom is exactly what I am looking for. Would be even better if you change home screen to 16 shortcuts instead of default 9 and 4 rows Start Menu. If not, I can still install the cabs.
Looking forward.

Looks very promising, exactly the approach I'd like best. I also agree with zard to best have a 4x4 quicklink matrix in the today screen. With 9 links it's just a few favs missing.
Awaiting your release, definitely going to try it.
I am also looking forward to your release! Sounds interesting!
Which dialer is going do be cooked in ?
PS: I would definitely vote AGAINST 4x4 Homescreen It can easily be installed by a cab and slows down the homescreen, doesn't sound quite lite to me
Looking forward to giving this a Go...
I have been using NRG's ROM, but as work is getting busy I think I am going to have to scrafice the Latest & Greatest for some Stability. I will be looking forward to seeing this..
I want to release it as soon as possible but that may still be a couple days. It takes about 20 minutes to cook, flash, and boot so it takes time to make one little change and see if it fixes the problem.
I currently have the latest Leo 2.02 dialer on it but it doesn't seem too great. If I rotate into landscape and then back to portrait it is distorted. I have to switch to something else for a couple seconds and then reopen the dialer for it to look normal.
If anyone has any suggestions as to which dialer to use, go ahead.
Unfortunately I am keeping the 3x3 grid because I like that more.
I am def in your corner with this concept, Petard. I was teased with at least one other person who was going to create a lite ROM but it didn't turn out to be lite, in my opinion. Lite for me is not including anything that can be added with a cab.
I am not sure I understand what "No third party programs for the most part" means. It's sort of like almost pregnant. In any case you are the cook so whatever you come up with is what I will work with.
I would also like to jump into the kitchen and begin cooking. Any advice on where I should start to learn? Since you just got your start I thought you could help guide me a bit. You can pm me so as not to crap up your ROM thread here. Thanks!
Looking forward (patiently) to the release.

Well I currently have Opera 10 in but I could remove it. What does everyone think? I could easily add it back into my Sashimi auto install.
I may also include a task manager, or maybe just leave the default WM one in.
I am also thinking of installing Rhodium Keyboard Control because I need that for my Tilt 2 to map the PTT button.
this is a great idea
im always looking for a rom like this..i think you should release it..and tweak it along the way..
I could release it but there are still some bugs I need to work out.
The dialer bug for instance and also the themes are kind of messed up.
I haven't figured out how to make my theme default yet and if I switch to it and back to HTC Black, HTC Black will not work correctly.
Also my theme still currently contains other peoples work who may not like me including it in my ROM.
And the Start Menu is currently a mess. SO many icons in there. No organized folders.
I vote - Take some more time and get it cleaned up... It would be great if you could have a section of this Thread where we Links / Files of popular Cab's could be posted. Including Opera...
I would throw Rhodium or Qilin Dialer(!) into the room of discussion
And I would like Opera 10 not to be included
Take your time sorting everything and fixing all the bugs
Does Qilin support landscape? The LEO dialers aren't working for landscape.
I will try the Rhodium dialer. Does that play well with Sense 2.5 though? Anyone know? I'll find out I guess.
Wow
It looks great keep the hard work up
sounds like a winner to me. might try your rom but it will be tough to move away from deep shining roms they have been amazing for me.

We could add Opera with a cab so you can leave it out.
A task manager is needed, so pick your favorite.
Rhodium Keyboard Control can be added with a cab, so you can leave it out. But you are the chef so whatever you want to do is cool.

There are several threads with cab files and programs in them. Also, you can search for cabs.
Alright this is the latest development.
I may release it tomorrow (Sunday for me) but more likely on Monday.
The LEO dialer works perfectly fine in portrait but not in landscape. I have taken a lot of time and haven't found how to make the Rhodium dialer work well in 23518. I will take care of the dialer problem in a later release.
What I have left to do before I can release it:
Create shortcut to WM Task Manager
Figure out how to set my theme as Default
Arrange Start Menu
Customize Action Screen Shortcuts and set it to left softkey
Customize Comm Manager

That minority thing sounds pretty racist. jk sounds like a fast rom.
