Some of my friends are starting to get touch screen phones, and their dialers KILLLLLLLLLL the Kaiser's. They are really nice, fast, and responsive...and also have a cool vibrate buzz when u hit a key.
Anything that can SOMEWHAT COMPARE that I could download? I know it's probably the hardware that is limiting me here, but anything better than the default HTC dialer?
Thanks.
Try the i dialer (link below)

I really miss the previous On-Screen Keyboards as used in the Hermes Black Roms or Schaps, the ones with numeric keys along the top.
I searched for a OS Keyboard cab, found the perfect "skins" in Schaps thread but it killed the keyboard function entirely. I had to un-install and cold reset to restore it.
I was able to install JJ's Black Shadow Dialer cabs onto my Kaiser which work fine. (I'm using the std Non-Video dialer as I don't have video calling here).
I figure that if the dialer can be replaced with a cab that it should be even easier to have a replacement On-Screen Keyboard Cab.
Is this possible? Man I wish I was a programmer!
I put resco keyboard pro on mine and it works fine. You're right, that keyboard they have one there now sux, especially if you use it to write SMS's or anything else that you would use both text and numbers in.
To get numbers at the top just go to options and change keys from large to small
Oh Man what a knuckle head! One little setting, Thanks ID64! and you too xeno1, I'll check out keyboard pro as well.
I love this place!
if you like some skins for the keyboard, try thses, I have signed them, and they work on my Kaiser very well

Yeah. As a noob I quite appreciate the free flow of info and help here.
I had seen the 'Large' and 'Small' options but had misinterpreted them as if the tiny little boxes for keys would get even tinier.
Thanks. That is so much better than constantly switching back and forth from numbers to letters!!
If you want an extremely impressive alternative, then try this: http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard.php
It's in beta/trial at the moment, but it's a million times better for one-handed thumb-typing while you're on the move...
It's great, I asked for a black keyboard, now I have several skins, Resco's Pro, and PocketCM which is completely awesome.
Add-on Sleuth's app "Sipchange" to be able to pick your normal default keyboard choice and have it stick thru resets and life is GOOD!

I really like the new keyboard as keys are bigger. Much easier to use your bare hand to type. No need for a stylus anymore...
Sure that the numeric keypad is on another keyboard is sometime annoying but overall, th ability to use your finger is heaps better.

what dialer is this and does redial work? Please assist me if possible
how did you get a mute button on s2a??
That is realy beautiful! Good work! God bless you!
Sorry but I don't have a clue how this works???
Is this a skin for S2U2 ( using 1.40 never seen this beautiful S2A) or is this only for latest HTC (a built-in S2A skin)???
best regard and anyway look good (snifff)
This is a skin for the HTC dialer with Slide / Ignore feature.
This is NOT a skin for S2U2.
What resolution was this made for, vga?
i grabbed the file names out of the xml in the cab so i think i'm going to work on skinning the opal dialer in qvga....
Thanks much Godzson!

S2A is that not an AC feature.
so this throws me off. seems like its for it as refered to by an ac name. s2a
Thats like saying burger is registered trade mark of someone
You can get burgers all over the place, its just a type of "sandwhich"
s2a is just a feature, not just a program by a great guy like ac
yes i follow..
but heres what im saying..
i have only seen s2a refered to by anything related to ac.
ive seen slide to answer
slide to unlock
but s2a.....
see what im saying.
so you think, hey another feature for s2a but its not a feature, its a solo program..
thats all i am saying.
and the topic title is very bland. S2A & CURTAIN LOCK
well whats s2a?
if someone where to post WM games
you would think oh its for windows mobile.
but you go in and its Wireless Media Games.
so to some it up, its just a bit weird to me.
in my opinion only, needs a small rename so that its not confused, or hinted to be related.
thats all.
But S2A is a feature in A_C's S2U2, not a separate program. I agree, however, that there needs to be some clarification. Maybe mentioning that it's for the HTC dialer would be enough?
Seemed pretty clear to me, specially if you've seen several of the other threads posted talking about the necessary files being yanked from the Touch HD.
By the way, good job Godzson.
Is this for MrHawiis slide to answer or for the leaked rom one?
i may be wrong, but i don't think ac's version has a curtain. s2a just intercepts the call, i doesn't act as a dialer

It's not the leaked ROM, it's a skinned version of the one from the Touch HD.

This is actually the HTC dialer functionality from the Touch HD. It's just been ripped and added to the Diamonds and Touch Pro's.
i know what this is for
i was pointing out the obvious differences to everyone argueing the name change.
for those that don't know about the hd s2a feature and recent releases of it, i could see how they might think it's related to s2u2 (since it's been around forever). clarification may help unfamiliar users. couldn't hurt? perhaps godzson can put a link on the OP for s2a and curtain, so those people know what exactly the skin is for...

Ohh, sorry, my bad.
I tried this on my touch pro and it did not work correctly. After it installs and reboots, I call up up the dialer and it brings up the stock WM dialer but with corrupt graphics.
Hey guys,
I just did like 5 different google searches through the site and I cant find the HTC Black Dialer/Phone Canvas cab.
Does anyone happen to have one?
Thanks a bunch!
Daniel
You didn't look hard enough I tell you
right on!!!
Honestly I did, the closet thing I found where the black IMG files from LantisOS ROM, but that didnt include the phone as well.
Thank you for the cab!
EDIT: Im trying to install this on top of Da_G's latest 6.5 ROM, and I am still getting the default Windows Dialer...do you know what I can do to make this work?
Yes, sometimes it's hard to find certain things. I simply wanted to find the black manila start panel skin for my TP and it took me hours but I finally found it.
Is there a version without the slide to answer?
I installed this cab and love the look but have been experiencing a glitch; the on-screen buttons get blurryed and are not responsive once a call is dailed and I press send. I cannot access the speakerphone/note/end call etc that are displayed in a blurred fashion...anyone else getting this?

I think it might be possible that it is the in call curtain you see. Have to slide it down to access buttons behind it.

I think you are right, thanks for the info!
Well this one was the charm for my Sprint TP. Works Great, and did not foul anything up
to whoever said they tried the s2a on wm6.5 with no luck.. I believe that the dialer is still an issue with wm6.5 that has yet to be fixed..compatability issues between htc and m$ i think..I also tried installing s2a and when i would receive a call the screen would glitch and switch between the traditional 6.5 slide to answer, the older 6.1 style answer screen, and the s2a screen lol very glitchy...
hi guys i have just updated my rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533
and it has a old style incoming call screen also a really small dialer any one got any good apps i could use... thanks for any info.. helps if there free apps thanks
Great ROM...
I've tried that particular ROM myself, it's really good. The dialer you're refering to is the default Microsoft dialer. You've probably been using a ROM with the HTC dialer, which has bigger buttons and is easier on the eye. If I remember right, there is a reason why the ROM has the default dialer... something to do with the new lock screen I think?
Have a browse throught the forum where you got the ROM, the answer is there somewhere
Its in the second post of the ROM thread:
- HTC like dialer skin -
I am running cognition 3.04 ROM. I have a difficult time with the keyboard (eyesight issues) I found the attached pic from within XDA (just a conversation no zip or cwm file) It is a droid x keyboard skin.
1) Is this installable on this rom. If yes where can I get it?
2) Or does someone know of one like this, that can be used? Totaly black keyboards are also a problem for me.
Thanks
Does Cog have swype? That usually is a little brighter and is much faster

I don't know the answers to your questions.
But on a related note, have you considered 3rd party solutions? I use Smart Keyboard but there are a few good ones out there. What I really like about these is that you can set up portrait to have a different keyboard (such as compact QWERTY or even T9) that make it easier to see and type (cause keys are bigger) yet maintain full QWERTY in landscape mode.
3rd party keyboards also often support different skins so you can find whatever color contrast you like best.
+1 i really like smart keyboard !
Looked at all the smart keyboards. can't find one similar to the one I posted above
Where did you look to find the skins? If it was in the market, they may not show all of them.
Here is another that looks a little like yours above. Can you clarify what color/contrast you are looking for? There are many more skins so possible there is one even closer to what you want.
