Is there a catch to making a skin for the Wizard WM5 that can use Smartdialing? I for one love the Smartdialing feature and find that it would be a little inconvenient. What I don't like are the buttons along the side of the default skin, that I never use) taking up all that valuable real estate. Is there a skin that will use Smartdialing and get rid of those buttons?

Check out the upgrading forum - there's a patched version of the smartdialing app that works with some skins. Last I looked at them, there was still some minor issues with overlaying text on some buttons, but that may have been resolved.
Hi I have made a fixed version of the black Vista Dial Pad for Smart Dial.
all the nasty "artifacts" are gone looks much better
You need to have eten dialpad installed then just copy these files into your \windows folder on your device.
Some files are in rom so you will need to copy them from your device using resco or total commander.
The main "dial screen" has a small light brown square in the top right corner, This is so that you can see the Headset icon if using a BT headset. If you don't like it I can post the plain version.
Enjoy.
All due credit to original artists I only modified their work.

Hi,
Searched the forums but can't find this-
Looking for a black dialer skin for my Tilt-not a HTC one,and not a customized one(with different fonts for the buttons/or buttons), just the same dialpad as the ATT stock ROM, but in black.
Any help?
Alemaker
Registry:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin
"Enabled" = 0
This turns off the stupid AT&T Blue Dialer Skin.
You must reset your device before the skin change will happen.
This registry tweak also disables the HTC SmartDialer program. Is there a way to have your cake and eat it, too?
Solved-sort of
got one REAL close to basic black!!
SpbBlack47_DialerSkin
background has greyish marble-like veins-cool!!
Doesn't disable smartdialer either!
attached a pic and the cab!!!
woohoo!!
Alemaker
These skins work with the Smart Dialer
http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GL_Display.asp?SEC=3&EntryID=512
They've got bigger buttons (not as big as Touch Dialer), and they're available in a bunch of colors.
I'm going to try to reverse Engineer the ETEN Dialer and skins that PaulyA was working on. Hardest part should be creating the Photoshop template.
Speaking of which, now that ETEN has released their new WM6 phones, anyone ripped the dialer prog from them yet? Would be nice to see if they updated it for WM6.

how do you make the text white? i installed the supplied cab on my tilt and the text is yellow.
Alemaker-
Great look on that dialer. Very oem!
Black Dialer...
I went and created my own, but now that I've seen the SpbBlack47 one, I'm going to make some modifications to it. Here's the Black Screen I plan on using. Let me know if you'd like it.
Be careful with goestoeleven's advice. According to the zombienexus website: "Saturday November 17 2007 update: Note: Newer HTC models (HTC Tytn II / Kaiser and HTC Touch) have their own custom dialpads, these skins aren't suitable for them. Do not install! You might have to hard reset if you cannot remove these skins via remove in settings." (http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/page_display.asp?pid=3) I have seen people on other forums report serious problems with these dialpads/skins on their Tilts.
OK so now I have the htc touch 6 tab worling well theme looks nice change icons looks really well, Now how in the heck can we change the ugly dialpad in treo 750, I know about the registry settings , but does not work in wm6. Does anyone know how to change the dialpad either to the htc or even the standard wm6 instead of the treo one. I will even take the location of the dialpad graphic file so I can change my self.
Search the forum. NOT upgrade forum. It was described (way with disabling some plugins - ActiveCall if I remember good)...
I found it, woo hoo: I used this one: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=148000
It works perfectly. Now does anyone have an htc home dialpad skin that works on our phones?
Thanks for the post fleadog99, just followed the instructions and now I have a dial skin that I can live with.
does anyone know how we can change the skin? like an HTC like skin. All skins I have tried it only changes background but not the buttons or anything else.
I use Matt_Jacksons blue theme and the new slide to answer phone canvas with the nice edition to cover the keys while in call.
However, Matt's theme came with a "kinda default" dialer and I would like to go back to the black on white original dialer to place calls.
Is there any way to do so by just replacing files?
I'm aware that the dialer in particular can be a very nasty animal... (been there done that on my Tilt).
I already tried to install PdG's VGA dialer hoping that after removal the original dialer comes back ... but .. guess you figured .. it didn't...
See my current dialer attached.
Edit: AFAIK the dialer is anyway skinable so an extract of the HTC dialer skin in VGA resolution would do, too. I have a Fuze so don't need video call.
Edit:
Cause closed showaco extracted two bmp files from the HTC dialer. Replaced them in the Windows dir... done. Thanks showaco!

Screen Shots
**screens from IOLITE v2 shown!**
(home screen features the background and the clock/plugin item backgrounds included in the "glossier home tab bgs.zip" attached):
things to know... READ! (for v2)
..changes:
.....added support for multiple calendar items (moved clock up, moved date to where the operator text is (when you enable custom name, disable operator name -by m2dc or registry)
.....changed map search graphic (added a little google icon)
.....skinned settings page
.....moved the email values/changed email graphic slightly
.....moved unread icons so they arent covering SMS and MAIL text
.....skinned commmanager (see first post - not included in m2d zip)
(iolite version should work with older m2d versions too.. but i havent tested.. so if you have problems, just use v1 for older versions)
..IF YOU ARE USING GLOSSY BACKGROUND, ALSO USE THE GLOSSY FOCUS.png included in the glossier home tabs zip (copy it to your \windows) this is the background that shows up (or disables the bg from changing) when you hold down too long on sms view etc)
couldnt upload here.. so get IOLITE VERSION 2 here!:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
things to know... READ! (v1)
..you do NOT have to have a different background for the home tab.. if you DO want it, it is included in the "glossier home tab bgs.zip" as "hh_fw_backgroundhome.png" (you can move it wherever, or delete the "home" portion and copy it to your windows directory to use it throughout m2d!)
..the page icons (big icons when running your finger across the bottom) are glossy, just like the earth icon and opera icon you see.. all custom by me!
..this can be and should be used with m2dc
..i recommend changing the font sizes of calendar and missed call buttons to about 20 for missed call and 14/16 for calendar in m2dc
..the weather icons are stardock icons (GREAT! icons), I manually switched out HTC's for stardock's (that took a while..)
couldnt upload here.. so get v1 here!:

.....if you would prefer glossier home tab clock background and plugin background.. copy the files attached in "glossier home tab bgs.zip" to your windows or into the "htctoucher gloss m2d.zip" windows folder if you are using it with m2dc!.. **the clock and plugin background are included by default in v2 iolite version!**
(i suggest you all do so! -its shown in the preview-)
ALSO
.....if you would prefer to have little icons instead of the text in the slider on the bottom, download the .zip attached "tabicons.zip" and copy all icons to your windows folder on device (overwrite) or to the windows folder in the gloss m2d skin zip if you are using my skin with m2dc (thank fwaits for requesting this as part of his 1 request for being a member of my Golden List!)
.....in my opinion i think it looks good to have text as the inactive tabs, and icons as the active tabs.. if you would like this.. only use the icons in the tabicons.zip that have the words "tabicon" in them!
attached also is the tsk you see in the previews (should be anyway)
......just unzip the tsk file into your storage card or wherever, and load it in the home settings on your device!
......i also suggest installing uitweaker and then going into systweak and import the "final color.sys" file also included blends well with this theme

due to lack of space on the first post, thumbcal, taskfacade and fingermenu skins are also attached!
(my taskfacade skin is included as default in the new version of taskfacade! (see here)) - so i guess you wont have to download the theme here anymore
Thumbcal: (skin.htctoucher gloss v2.zip) - place it in your thumbcal folder and select it in settings
FingerMenu: (htctoucher fingermenu gloss skin.cab) - install to device.. you can delete the _vga files if you are using qvga device, or vice versa... just reinstall my cab if you want them back (dont know why you would but just in case)
TaskFacade:
**removed** (my skins are now included default in taskfacade as "Gloss")!
uploaded three more skins for taskfacade, will remove if they also become default
get them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470096&page=2&post#19

Black pro theme,nice looking.
Congratulations!
This is really nice! Thank you.
If you have some time left it would be nice if you could do iContact, S2P and the Opal Phone Canvas (Opal Dialer).
That is one slick looking theme.
WOW htctoucher this skin pack is awesome, and looks the best for me! Is there any chance you make skin also for S2P?
Thank you!
Greetings
wow! your works are great, will get s2u2 & pocketcm. thanks
Very nice job. Do you plan (or someone) to make a WVGA version of your skins ? It would be great on Touch HD.
Cool
thanx

bump for this! A WVGA Skin will be great!
Would you also release those great skins for WVGA version, It looks great but not for HD.
thanks for all the great feedback guys!
this is why I love to post themes
as for wvga .. it's hard since I don't have a device with that resolution (anyone willing to donate one )
I may try pocketcm wvga but I don't think I'll be able to do the dialer
I may also do s2u2 and galarm.. maybe throttle.. but no guarantees at this point!
I'll be making a s2p and maybe imageviewer(pcm)
glad you all like the theme!
keep me posted on what you like/don't like or bugs

make what smaller? the wm7 small keyboard is about as small as it can be
not sure which one you are referring to
I should have a skin out this weekend
I am thinking of skinning TouchPal as well
some comments:
- you left a PSD file in the pocketcm theme (which takes 400Kb)
- you should remove the line that aren't setting or precede them with # (I suspect the line with ======= may have some nasty effect).
- the "strange animation" is probably because you set: panel.contactdetail.box
- Also I strongly advice you to use "development mode" and look at log.txt log file, you'll find some errors in your theme: Can't load image: buttoncallx.png, Can't replace setting for: textcontrol.phonecalleditpanel.numberedit.unfocused.background=fill($high9148$), etc...
Lastly, there is a bug in current version of PocketCM (not the next daily build in theory) that make PCM crashed when editing anything, workaround: set textcontrol.*.background=fill(#FFFFFF) (no image, no gradient, no alpha, etc...). Next version will fix this of course.
Nice theme!
