New Dialpad Skins... [UPDATED 6/20/2008] - Windows Mobile Themes

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.

Here are a couple other ones I've just finished up...
See the instructions above to use them... I also attached some corresponding Windows themes...
***edit***
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...

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

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

Congrats! This is an outstanding addition to our Fuze. I just have one question before I install. Are the graphics still in development or is the screen shot somehow distorted by the software you used to make the screen shots?? I don't want to complain, you guys have worked hard on this, but on the screen shot it looks like the graphics on the black version need some twicking. I'm kinda OCD when it comes to this stuff. Again, thanx for sharing.

it looks cleaner on device. i used mymobiler to make the pics and they look crazy when they turn out to look at.
i promise it looks a lot better on device than these pics
i finally got this damn pocket shield to work and now i see this...
i guess i could use this in conjunction with that...
the layout of the slide to unlock your showing here looks a lot more user friendly for sure.
bout to try this out now... lookin good tho.
I joined this thread too.
Anyway, I see you also post a black version (which also for some reason is much bigger?)... does it include the "curtain" also?
Did you remove the files that mess the battery gauge?
a question before i install...
does this S2A you developed here disable the send/end buttons from answering/ignoring calls?
i assume it would. :\
this is not his development (AFAIK) - this is the code from Touch HD
it shouldn't disable any physical buttons
*** BTW HERG JUST DISCOVERED SOME THINGS ***
1) In both packages there are some PNG files that are named BMP. So... shouldn't they be turned to normal BMP?
2) In the "black" cab package you have some files MORE than once! (and I mean the same file for the same location!) It's a bit messed up eh?
3) Please don't ignore the questions in my previous post above.
just installed on my fuze and all is working well.. i also disabled the 3 second delay in ringtone with tweaks2k2 so im happy.
gonna update the cab and remove the unnecessasary files?

the curtain is in the black version as well.
the battery ggague is there for the dialer screen you need to enable it by regedit.
I've installed this on my Sprint TP and it appears to work fine. The only gripe I have is that it has "Green" highlight bars on the dialer screen and the rest of the highlight bars in TF3D are "Yellow"
Is there a way to change those easily?
yes by regedit.
hold on i will tell you what that regedit address is.
disable call and end button.

[SKIN][OFFLINE] tPRO2 for S2U2 | v2.21

Dear friends and xda-devs,
I’m sad to inform you that http://tpro.station59.com has to be shut down. Since announcing version 2 of my tPRO skin series and launching the website last summer, and after 60,000+ downloads since then alone, this project received nearly no support (thank you Michael and John for your donations). Thus, I can no longer maintain domain, hosting and download bandwidth for this website.
I still plan expanding the skin series with support for new applications and introduce new ui designs, and of course share it with this great community. However, due to my heavy workload at another project of mine I am forced to put this one on hold till the end of the summer.
Thank you all,
dEM

What do you mean by messaging notification? There are already icons for text messages (sms), multimedia messages (mms) and e-mails (icons 2, 3 and 4 on my screenshot). Still can't get this envelope in a baloon thing...
I'll work on messenger and flexmail icons then. And I think I'll redesign the mms one. This is the first one I came up with but don't think it's that indicative.
Hi
I have some issues with this theme.....Please don't take it personally i am telling what i experienced.
1.Numbers are not aligned on white box on wallpaper.
2.Its will not work exactly as the screen shot.
3.In charging mode clock doesn't appear.
I have copied and replaced the "gfx" file in S2U2 Folder under program mes. is this procedure is correct....

Hey there,
Since you obviously see the wallpaper with the flip clock it seems you have copied it right.
1. I guess your time format is set to H:mm without the leading zero - 8:22 instead of 08:22. Use your favorite registry editor and change the key HKCU\Software\A_C\S2U2\TimeFormat key to HH':'mm. This should make sure the time is always four digits and therefore always aligned to the wallpaper. I'll make sure to add a .reg file with all the necessary changes soon.
2. What other differences do you find from the screenshot? If you can provide a screenshot of your device it'll be great.
3. This is my mistake. I never use fullscreen battery hence never worked on that. Note taken.
Nice work. Any chance a clock font that supports the 5:00PM format?
if i just want the notifier icons wich files do i gota copy?

I can extend the flip clock to fit the am/pm but still you have to set time with leading zero to have the same number of digits all the time eg. 05:00PM.

Holy S!it,nice skin,gonna install it asap,thx for the hard work
looking sweet.
Sorry guys,
Current hardcoded layout of S2U2 doesn't allow me to make the flip clock work with fullscreen battery. Hope not a lot of you use it anyway...
Start working on some left over notification icons and am/pm flip clock.
I've changed the MMS icon (icon #4) to baloon with a paper clip similar to how it's shown in TF3D.
Then I created one for Flexmail (icon #6) and used one from Manila for Messenger (icon #7).
Hope you like them. If you do download the attached file and unzip to gfx folder, overwriting the old notice.png.
Still can't figure out what's the second icon for though..
demonizator said:
It may sound stupid but did not find what are these icons for:
I guess the last one is for Windows Live Messenger notifications but I don's use it to test the icon. And have no idea what are the first two for.
If somebody can help me with this I will replace them with TouchFLO-alike icons.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The 2nd icon is for Pocket Informant, not sure about the 1st one. It looks like an email icon, but I'm sure it cant be that easy.
I played around with the flip clock trying to make it work with am/pm time and tried to get it as close as possible to TF3D (screen #1) but it's not that simple. There's no way to get the am/pm symbols closer to the digits. Extending the flip itself is pretty ugly for me (screen #2) so I came up with something like this (screen #3).
If you like it I can export wallpaper fitting the time this way. If you have any other ideas you're more than welcome.
Can I just have this in 12hour format without the AM/PM. Cause really. I don't need to know if it's night or day lol. I can notice that by just looking around.
Dude this is great work, I'm gonna try this out soon, first I need to update my S2U2 because I noticed that its not quite the newest version, another question also does this extra nice looking stuff take any kind of battery toll?
Thanks man, this looks flippin great.

[THE] [UPDATE 2/28/09] Star Wars Dark Side (Rebel Scum now included)

Thanks to everyone for their input and assistance on this. LcBoi, FatalCharade, FarBeyond, and herg62123 made this project possible. I would have been lost without help from all of them! Thanks!!
Version 1.1 - fixed clock background, and icon pointed out by herg
Version 1.2 - fixed more icons, corrected button background on landscape, and changed highlight color to match theme.
herg62123 was kind enough to repackage everything for me to include the slider sounds. We have also collaborated to bring you Rebel Scum your very own Jedi Masters theme.

I have searched, and searched, and when that didn't help, I searched some more, and then searched again, and then, oh yeah, I did some more searching. So far, I have yet to find anyone doing a Star Wars theme. OK, fine, I've leeched from the community long enough, time to actually DO something. Granted it isn't much, but it's a start.
I can't seriously be the only Star Wars fan out there, so I'm looking for some input. As the title suggests, I am working on a Dark Side theme for Star wars. I have a few icons already, but don't want it to just be random characters for different things. IE Anakin for the the photos icon, or Han for the weather. That just doesn't sit well with me. I can see using a few characters, for instance, a hologram of Darth Sidious for the mail icon. That at least makes some sense, not to mention it turned out pretty cool
So, if you have ideas for different characters/items/ships/whatever for the different icons, I welcome any and all input.
Thanks for your time, and I look forward to input!
I'm not quite satisfied with the slider, so I have been playing around with it some more. It's closer to what I want now, but still not quite there.
To Do List:
Incorporate Clock by FatalCharade **Done - v0.04**
Pictures/video icon replacement **Done - v0.04**
Calendar icon replacement - Done v1.0
Communications icon replacement - Done v1.0
Icons inside communications, and settings screens.Done v1.0
Sounds and wallpapers **Done - v0.03 posted by herg62123 - Thank you!!**
Notification icons **Done - v0.04**
Compose message icon Done v1.0
Incoming/outgoing/missed call icons Done v1.0
Add favorite program buttons Done v1.0
I think that's about it.....if I have missed anything, let me know.
Great looking theme. I can't wait for you to release it, my 12yo son wil F-L-I-P. We are both SW nuts, but unfortunately since I use my TP for business I can't put anything like this on it. My son's however... guess I will just have to look cool vicariousley through him.
I like what you've got so far, too. Good job!
Some ideas for your consideration:
Perhaps use the Death Star for the Internet icon. I really like the whole at&t / death star corporate logo parallel there. You could possibly use Coruscant planet image as the home icon, or a star destroyer.
For the weather icon, perhaps a probe droid (from Empire Strikes Back).
I also like the idea of using the imperial symbol as the settings icon (maybe a non-holo'd up one?), since it already looks like a gear. Maybe the droid could be used for programs instead with the blue markings being replaced with grey and black so it doesn't look like R2. We don't want any hippy rebellion stuff messing up the dark side, right?
Looking forward to seeing your finished theme!

It's still being created. I am asking for user input as I work on it. Once it's done to my satisfaction, then I will post a download link.

Thank you for the input! That actually gave me a few more ideas to play with, and I'll post more screenies when I have them done.
R2D2 is NOT on the dark side of the force *NERD SNORT*
Seriously though, Looks good!
This is looking good so far, I can't wait for a release.
Keep up the good work!
I made a test clock for your theme.
Check it out and let me know how you like it.

*I can't actually test this out myself since I don't have touchflo installed on the current rom I'm using.*
(Gonna go touchflo-less until someone ports over TP2)

DOH! Momentary shift to the light side, it won't happen again!
slider
maybe the slider could have the red lightsaber glow, or even a red lightsaber.
Ok, so done a few changes. Got rid of the pesky rebel R2-D2. Thank you Jimmy for pointing out my lapse in judgement
Also thanks to LcBoi the theme has a new clock!
I still need to find a replacement for the pictures icon, and though the probe droid for the weather is a good idea, he doesn't show up very well.
Once I get all of the main icons on the bottom changed out, I'll start on the smaller ones, like new email, the notification bubbles, and all of the ones on the settings tab.

No problem, if you or anyone else has input on how to help make the clock better just let me know.

Ahhhh, very true, I will look in to that as well. Thanks!
these pix might help/inspire ideas
comm tab/ settings tab
just thought this alienware computer would be kool for comm manager.
what happened to the original link
how about adding slide sound of the lightsaber and an imperial march ringtone as well to go with this theme
OK people, I have posted my manila files. No they are not in cab form, I haven't done enough searching to figure that one out yet, and I'm lazy
Let me know what you think, and if you run in to any issues.
As for sounds, I DO have a bunch of those, and already use them with my theme, so I will upload those later also.
if you want when i get off of work i can cab these and add slider sounds with imperial march ringtone tonight.

reserved...my freiend
also this one too... ya never know...
nice~~looks really minimal and i like the blue =D
almost thought you had forgotten about lacuna from your other thread ..
so let me repost some feedback from the other thread and add feedback based on v2.0
clock:
next alarm info beneath clock maybe?
apps:
option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
also qould be quite cool, if we go with the sliding theme, if the apps page (faves and all programs) could be brought up by sliding the main screen up
friends:
favorites would be very good
text:
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
