New Dialpad Skins... [UPDATED 6/20/2008]

I downloaded and installed the HTC Touch dialpad, and it worked well but was pretty plain.
I've spent a few hours reworking the graphics it uses and came up with a new skin based on a wallpaper I downloaded from www.pocketpcscreens.com. I've got portrait working well, but haven't done landscape yet...
Here are a couple screenshots. If anyone would like to use it, let me know and I can post links here.
And SmartDial still works!!

To install it, you'll need to install the HTC Touch dialpad (Wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer2.zip), then download the background zip of your choice. Copy all of the image files from the zip into your device's Windows dir, and overwrite any files it prompts about. Soft reset your phone (or stop cprog.exe then reopen the phone) and enjoy!
This has been tested on my T-Mobile Wing w/ WM6. I haven't tested it on any prior versions of WM or other devices, so maybe someone can chime in whether it's OK or not.
If anyone wants the raw png's to make your own, let me know and I can attach them too...
I also attached a corresponding 'Rocks' WM theme and images for ContactsManager and Slide2Unlock for a nice uniform look.
I'm not too sure about the technical aspects of the dialer... You may want to check the thread where the dialpad was released. This is just a graphical update I did for it...
Enjoy,
Ryan
Update - here are a few other's I've come up with recently:
Jigsaw
Blue Drops
And really, what could be so special about the number nineteen? Mystery Number, indeed.

Also, see posts #208 and #209 for a couple new requested ones.

nice post............

nice post ! i have a little problem though....
when i call using the htc-retouched theme, in the call-in-progress screen i get green text instead of white (the call history, mute etc); and it's hard to read...
do you know a solution?

Hmm. Seems there is a problem with a couple of files. I'll upload a corrected version ASAP.
Sorry!
Ryan
*** UPDATE: added new image file to post #1

Uploaded wallpapers and misc images for Slide2Unlock and ContactManager in post #1.
No screenshot for Slide2Unlock because, well, the device is locked. It's the same wallpaper but not as dark, so it looks nice and vibrant.

Very nice!
Is it possible to get a video call button at the dialpad?

Thanks for the compliment! Unfortunately, at my current "skill" level, no. (notice the 'airquotes' around skill.)
I'm not really up on actual programming, this is simply a graphic overhaul of an existing skin.
If anyone out there can help me modify the actual layout, please feel free to chime in!!
Sorry!
Plus, for reference, the original:

<retracted>

@Dax:
I got the email notification of your post, then checked the thread and saw your reason for retracting it.
Just for curiosity, is there something I can spell out better in the (admittedly vague) instructions? I know they probably skip a lot of 'read between the lines' steps, so if there's something that'll make it clearer please let me know!
Is it working OK for you? I don't think I've gotten any feedback yet that anyone else has it working, and I'm curious to know if it does.
Your post did help, because I noticed that the landscape theme background doesn't quite match the landscape dialer background. I've worked hard to keep them all uniform and avoid the wallpaper jumping up and down when you switch screens...
Ryan

That's it. I must be officially dumb; I cannot find any information anywhere about how to apply a separate skin to the Touch dialer.
I was already using the PhoneBoost Lite with the Eten skin. Is this the same thing as the reTouched dialer you linked? (Again, I can't find any information linking the two)
Thanks,
Dax.

Nah, don't feel dumb. No problem at all. They're not related - I got the Touch dialpad from here. I got it simply to get rid of the horrendous T-Mobile dialpad. After I installed it, I wasn't overly impressed by the looks of this one either, and realized that all of the graphic elements were simply .png's in the Windows directory. I used the old dialpad as a reference for size and layout and created a whole new set of graphics to use instead of the default Touch ones. There's no coding or software manipulation at all on my end, it's all strictly graphical.
Hope it helps,
Ryan

hey, just a quick question, what kinda smart dial is there in the touch dialer...is it the one from microsoft that is inbuilt in wm6 or is it the one from HTC...I personally liked the htc one better as it it showed me the number of the contact without having to press a key on the contact...

Thanks NeonStorm,
It's well past midnight here, but I was sure I was losing my mind anyway
thx

@dax: Good night.
@shantz: It's this one ( I think it's the HTC one...):
Ryan

great work! looks really nice!

neonstorm,
Thanks a lot for such a nice dialer! I'm really digging it .
Now, even though I like the grey theme, I'd like to use it with a different background, but no matter which one I pick, the dialer always shows the "Rocks" one on it. Is there a way to keep and use your dialer and its nice transparency with any other background pic?
Thanks again and keep up the good work!

If you post a portrait and landscape wallpaper (240x320 and 320x240) I should be able to do it. I've designed the graphics to make it pretty easy to replace the wallpaper and keep the transparency...
Or are you referring to the default Touch background I showed?

I would like to use it with more than one background, so what I'm looking for is something like a nice "standard" (plain-ish, but nice) background for the dialer, say, in a dark color or something, still keeping the nice transparencies.
Maybe I'm being too picky... but since you have the "skill" (and yes, you do!), I'm sure you can come with a couple of ideas .

The files are on my laptop at work, so I can crank something out tomorrow. in the meantime take a look at pocketpcscreens.com and see if there are any wallpapers you want. Otherwise I'll just use a neutral one...

Dialer with bigger buttons

I recently started using Kaiser as my primary phone and as I tend to make a lot of calls a day, most of them from car, I ran into problem that the dialers buttons are just too small to be pressed accurately when I can't look at the display properly and/or use stylus (e.g. when driving in car).
Any tips for dialer with bigger buttons (ideally almsot fullscreen) ? I have already tried quite few skins and SPB Contacts and nothing quite met my expectations so far.
Thx

I've used the following 2 dialers and found them to be much friendlier to large fingers than the standard dialer... Credit goes to the original developers, I got these somewhere on XDA... Don't remember now.

Thx. I know the first one, the second one looks nice (although it doesn't solve my problem). So far it looks like to me that nobody has made bigger dialer
Anybody know if it is even possible to have bigger buttons just with dialer skins? If so then I would probably go and create mine At first I considered writing my own dialer but I don't have time atm... But creating theme should be easy.

Yeah, the second one looks really nice with the WM6 black theme, but the one thing that bothers me about it is that you can't redial the last call by hitting talk on the screen, or hitting send on the phone. You have to click recent calls then click on the call and send.

I too am looking for something with way bigger buttons. something like what the .............iphone has....please dont beat me but it has a good dialer.....

yeah, not what I was expecting. I was looking for the actual dialer that the iphone uses.

Would also like to get a better dialer.
I would love to get a dialer where the buttons take up the whole screen ... if something should be small it is the number being dialed.
That iPhone dialer looks just as bad as the other skins currently available.

I had been using the JPLDialer VistaII and it worked nice except it doesn't allow last number redial. It looks very similar to the iphone dialer. It was much easier to dial with than with what I am using on Dutty's new rom. I would like a dialer that is full featured, stable and had big manly numbers. I am at work and can't get screen shot. Here is a link I found:
http://rapidshare.com/files/12092377/JPLDialer_VistaII.zip.html
If it has a grass theme it is the one I was using.

Maybe if I get some time I might actually try to make my own dialer, but my schedule is pretty tight for the next 2 weeks...
-Jay

I recently installed a dialer by Nadavi and dutty it had send/talk soft keys the buttons are spaced well but for some reason it dont work properly since the hard reset.
The button stay the same, like the black default one and the send/talk button dont appear.......
Not sure what went wrong....

I use a different iPhone dialer, written by Nargalzius. I uploaded it to my Box.net public share. Just click the Kaiser link in my signature, its named iPhone Dialer.
-Also-
If you want to increase the sensitivity of the touch screen, I recommend setting the registry key (HKLM\Drivers\TouchPanel\Pressure Threshold) to 5000. It may seem a little high, but the response time is practically instant, and very little pressure required (still enough to avoid accidental presses).
With this dialer, and the sensitivity turned up, I have yet to fat finger/miss a number yet.

Thanks dude, fix the issue, installed Advance Configuration v1.1 and disabled the video dial option and the Nadavi dialer returned.
So, I guess the Nadavi's dialer does not support video dial etc...so it defaults to HTC dialer.
But I'll try the touch pressure setting out as well.
Thanks

Dialer
I just downloaded and installed and the dialer works great!!

I'll second the desire to have a dialer that takes up the whole screen with just the numbers

Any chance of getting the manila file with no calendar aswell?
Need a clean home screen
Edit: Just installed it on my Touch HD and it works great. However, I can't change my wallpaper. It keeps the default one.

Very nice improvement to m2d definitely one of his flaws...i personally use s2u2 to see most of my appointments but...NICE WORK !!
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

can this be used on M2D for Samsung Omnia?

Really big update!

You have the background code removed. If he doesn't have bg 4 all tabs which has the background code moved into manila.mode9 then that is probably why he's getting the missing home background.

can this be used on other M2D beside Rhodium rom?
e.g M2D running on Samsung Omnia?

can you please provide a pic of this in landscape so I can see what 'not good' looks like?

That might be true. Background works great with "bgalltabs" installed. without, then I also get no background on the main tab.

does anyone know a way of getting call history next to clock? or maybe on top curtain?

Hi,
Thanks for this great mod!
Is it possible to have a version where only the second home screen (with small hour) contains 5 appointments, leaving the home screen (with big hour) exactly as it is right now, with 1 appointment?
Thanks!

It dosent seem to be uninstallable.

The icons cab overwrites a dll also. You lose the nice big wm6.5 finger friendly submenus and it puts the old looking wm6.1 ones in place of them. bronzeres.dll is altered/replaced and if you dont back it up first, you may have to hard reset to get your original look back. Lets just say I found out the hard way

The bronzeres.dll has to be altered to change the icons.... I installed and uninstalled this cab at least 4 or 5 times and it didn't affect anything.

Maybe its a rom specific problem then, it does in the RRE 6.5 rom, at least on mine. As soon as I install the cab, the sub menus are changed to the smaller old style ones. After uninstall they remain.

Great work, really dig the fonts. Is it possible to add some icons for some of the more popular apps to match in a seperate icon pack? It would be nice to have when installing custom plugins.

Just some to use in a launcher type panel, like for opera, internet sharing, total commander, to get started. I figured you would probably have a psd or xcf file or something to easily make new ones by changing text. Thanks for the matching taskbar.

Hi,
nice theme, can i ask if this supports the notification panel?
thanks

Firstly id like to say that this skin is amazing, here are a few things i found after install, starting from the top down:
1: "Start" text has not changed
2: Cannot change "getting started" text to say "Programs"
3: text for the weather seems slightly indented and smaller
4: the Notifications Panel (CHome) does not point to any icons in the bronzres.dll
This is really really nice though.

I am not sure, I didn't install anything except,ATContacts and Titanium weather, as far as the font, I have noticed on the last font I was using that sometimes not all the fonts will display, usually an uninstall and reinstall will fix it. Glad you like it though, if you don't mind a hard reset, and have everything backed up I'd be curious to see if it installs correctly.

i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung
when i get a new text message, i click on 'new texts' but it doesnt open anything, when i go swipe to the text page, my new text does not appear there either
mail:
im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...
other:
the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
just on this, when i was the friends page, and i click on the 'text' it takes me to the 'mail' page, but then the theme doesnt respond anymore??
alternate home screen: YES PLS

the impementation of clicking the text or mail word... doesnt work... as you found out... that is going to be disabled... the screens already scroll super easy... not hard to go from one end to the other...
im working on making the apps page so you can drag it up... not there yet...
i havent configured the sms program chooser yet....
mail page works... im not sure to what extent... i didnt code it... lol...
i am glad u like the alt. home screen... i think its pretty smexy too
as always... thanks for your great feedback wil_dee

Ok Thanx! Great

Very nice simple and elegant, but have following questions:
Mail page does not show anything, i looked through all xml and found nowhere any mail settings.
Wouls also love the option to select to show only favorites contacts or to add some favorite peoples.
Same for favorite programs, maybe an additional page to add a few programs and settings shortcuts.
For me the best solution would be if i could replace the contact page by a shortcuts page, where i would place 5 shortcuts to subfolders for weather, internet, fav people, applications and settings (i already have them).

This theme is without HW acceleration? Or need acc. too
Good luck

no acceleration required

Hi,
can you help me with some questions:
If installing this .cab, does it
- Add a new Element to select from the Home screen setting
- Does it interffere with Sense / CHT
- Can it be uninstalled without damaging the installation?
Thanks
Gescha

I am assuming that you are referring to throttle launcher itself
it is not linked to or related to Sense or CHT it is a UI in its won right so you would have to choose and deslect whichever you wanted at any given time.
It can be install/uninstalled without effecting anything else

Well .. what can I say? This is the best theme so far. I'll stay tuned for updates. Thanks.

Really nice. Love the minimalistic look.

Awesome. Love it.

Super Easy
Trek, youve done it again! This is crazy smooth! It is very minimilistic, something I think an option to increase would be great.
what I mean is that instead of opening Apps, and the start menu, maybe a second 'fav apps' screen that opens another screen for just your favorite apps. This is where you program your icons, etc.
Yea, would love the mail to work, but love how responsive text app is.
Another option, I use text alot! Maybe be able to choose which is first slid to (text, mail, friends)
The ability to show weather would really be great, like shown on the first post. Not sure if there is something that I missed.
I do have the same issue with tapping 'text', it goes to 'mail', and then program freeze. Doesn't require a reset, just a reload theme, and its all back.
Lock screen is really touchy. I checked and saw that I had accelleration at 10, with friction at 1. Reversed accell to 1, friction to 3, that helped alot. just a hint to folks out there.
And finally, maybe a calender screen or setting as well?
Love it, super smooth, super simple, great job as always!

most of these things have either been addressed or been implemented ... i like the configurable text, friends, mail order idea... but unfortunately the system im using for making it so easlily scrollable .... this may not be possiblee... no wait.. yeah i can do that..!!! sorry!!!
the picture on th front post with the weather you are refering to is not yet.... but how it will look when i am done..
so you didnt miss anything
i am removing the lockscreen... will prolly make skins or themes for the windows default lockscreen and one for the oboe style...
calendar implementation is planned but still unsure how to incorporate...
tapping text goes to mail bug will be removed... was an attempt that did not work with the concept..
otherwise... glad you enjoy it... my main purpose is to keep it simple and smooth for all devices...
and be Daily driver Worthy... my only currently daily driver worthy one is my own modded version of the BBSTORM theme...
i thought about releasing since it is modded and junk... not technically original design... so i think i might but there is a few things i have to address first.... ill email ya if ya want to try it lol....
thanks for your feedback Jerry
