Dialler Skins - what are you using?

I've spent a couple of hours looking for dialler skins for my kaiser (o2 Stellar branded) and not had a lot of luck finding anything that works with smart dialling, video, landscape and that has no major issues. Can anyone recommend anything that could replace the dialler on my stock ROM without having to flash a cooked ROM?
I have tried searching for such skins, and had no luck. I apologise if I have managed to miss something, and would be grateful for a link to any thread dealing with this query.

Haven't tried it yet
Found this today when I was thinking the same thing. http://www.hkscorpio.com/members/bong/product_Dialpad_Maker.htm
Also, I was thinking of doing it myself. I found the windows dialer images in the windows directory. Haven't got around to changing them myself.
I think they are:
Number buttons (replace # with numbers 0 through 9)
[*]NmBtn#dn_Land.png - Landscape pressed button
[*]NmBtn#dn_Port.png - Portrait pressed button
[*]NmBtn#up_Land.png - Landscape unpressed button
[*]NmBtn#up_Port.png - Portrait unpressed button​
Backgrounds
[*]Dialer_BkgL.png - Landscape background
[*]Dialer_BkgP.png - Portrait background​
There are more PNGs that make up the rest of the buttons but haven't located those yet.

hmm im just using the normal one for wm6.0 instead of the htc one

Thanks sahoopes, but I could not get anything from the "download" link on that page. I'll have to have a go at messing about with the images you found when I have time to teach myself how.

Regitry key to edit htc home plugin

hello,
i just flash my Kaiser with the new rom from htc, before i had the nothrill release, but it was time for me to change and he seems to be dead or something ....
So my tab misse calls on my htc home plugin display the misse calls, if i want to have all calls, i have to enter menu/filterby/all calls.
ok but the thing is it didnt save the last choice.
Could someone tell me what key i have to edit for the last choice to be remembered or at least all calls choose by default.
thanks

Some has maybe a soft that could do the trick?
thanks

1st. This is rom development section, youre tread is obiouse software related.
2nd. Could you rephrase the question, I read youre post 3 times now and dont understand what you mean or want.
Feel free to also provide screenshots while you wait for a moderator to move it into software section.

ok i rephrase my question.
i just put in my kayser the new rom from htc.
everything's fine , I have just 2 little problems:
on the htc home plugin , there is a tab who display missed calls (by default)
i'd like that tab displaying all calls (by default)
i discover another singularity, in photo mode the screen is black, i could take photo, but i dont have a preview
thanks

I don't believe there is a way to do what you want with htc home, the remedy for the black camera screen is to flash a compatible radio rom (do a search for the ultimate radio thread.

Dialer off right after end of call- HOW to do this??

Hi,
I've been looking for the answer but couldn't find any. This is very annoying for me.I use S2u2 and when I pick up an incoming call with a button or slider after the call the dialer is still on and Phone locks automatically(with dialer on). I have to unlock S2U2 close dialer and lock the phone again- this drives me crazy. Any solution will be appreciated.Thanks in advance for any help with this...

Me too..
But still no solution..

Yeah it annoys me too. I use S2U2 as well and I hate that both the dialer and the contact list don't close after I made a call or receive one. The registry solution from the other thread doesn't work with the TF3D dialer.

Have you tried Advanced Config > Phone > End Call Delay? I haven't myself so I don't know if it's the time it takes to disconnect the call or the time it takes to close the dialer. Worth a try.

No, that's the time it takes for the phone to end your call after pressing the end-call button. Which is ridiculous, when I press the button I want to end it immediately .

I agree. Of what purpose could it possibly be to delay the end of the call?!? I mean if you could recover from accidentally hitting the end key that would be one thing. But you can't so any delay is just plain stupid AFAICT.
You can also use Advanced Config to turn off the silly animations and sounds at start up or shutdown. They also do little else but make start up and shutdown longer...

I've switched to the WM default dialer now, as was suggested in this thread, let's see if it it works for me. I liked the HTC dialer though .

I've also tried that and it works but that's not a solution.WMs dialer sucks, keys are small and poor responsible for touch.Anyway I don't like WMs dialer. I don't understand why this reg tweak works with some roms but with some doesn't ;/. Hope it will be fixed in next official rom or somebody from XDA will find a solution for this annoying issue.As U guys sad when I press end button i wanna end immediately ,not in 5 sec!.

I now use the phonecanvas cab for my Diamond, so I don't have to use S2U2 anymore. But I believe this only works with the HTC dialer.
So does anyone have a solution for this problem? I really need it

Phone call recording for TP

Hi all,
After a lot of lost time trying to record my calls I said maybe someone already know the answer.
I have installed on TP: ROMeOS 1.70.3 and RADIO 1.02.25.28...very happy with them. I checked the post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457808&page=1 and I installed on my TP next programs for call recording:
- ICR, made by HTC. Works, but, like the next programs, doesn't record the voice of the other person (only your voice)
- VITO Audio Notes 4.51. The same like ICR (only your voice) but i like it more as he can automatic record the call. You just have to select that on menu . Also he write file name with the name of the contact that you talked, the date and hour
- Resco Audio Recorder 1.37. Same like Vito, but the file name is different and i didn't know how to make it right for me
I changed the RADIO (i thought can change something) to version 1.08.25.20M1, but no change: I can only record my voice.... I know, if i set up "Speakerphone" option i will have both, but this is not the normal way meaning this will activate the speakerphone and everyone will hear your conversation and the recording is using only the microphone anyway...
Any ideea?
P.S. If you want i can post the soft above

I would post this in the ROMEOS thread for your version. Someone there is much more likely to help you. Plus, you don't want to get yelled at by the mods for starting a new thread when it should have been posted somewhere else.

ICR for Kaiser (2 side call recording software)

BIG thanks to Shmilson and rr69 for their work!!!
There's a new kid on the block, rr69's modded cab without the new drivers... I'd try this first (read his post to understand why):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3511566&postcount=128
rr69's lite cab, just the driver, no graphics:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=162761&d=1236030009
Shmilsons QVGA skinned cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=162900&d=1236070663
Check out mskips thread with a alternative solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493118
Here's how to set up ICR on your Kaiser :
1. Install the cab of your choice (Shmilsons for QVGA skinned version or rr69 if you are happy with your current skin).
2. Install Vito Audio Notes or any recording software of your choice (I'm using Vito Audio Notes for touch 1.02)
3. Soft reset
4. Make a call, when your'e connected use the menu (bottom left corner) and choose start recording. Wait a couple of seconds, then hang up.
5. Start your recording software and put it to automatic record calls
6. DONE!
If it's not working for you, you could try this:
1. Install .NET compact framework: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en
2. If the "Start Recording" doesn't appear, try to uninstall your dialer skinn (or turn it off), soft reset. Try to record a call again, if it works you can reinstall your skinn.
People are looking for the reason why it's working for some and just not at all for others. As soon we have a clue I'll post it here.
Notes:
I don't have to do anything after a soft reset, Vito records everything by default.
Vito records all calls WITH BOTH YOUR OWN AND THE CALLERS VOICE, Vito will name the files according to your contacts (or info in google maps if your'e using any numbers from google).
Now you can record your calls and listen to both parties without any annoying hassle like using the speakerphone!!!
There's no beeps or any other way the caller can hear that your'e recording with this setup... Illegal in some countries, it's your responsibility! =)
Below: Picture shows Vito Audio Notes Touch interface...

no go
Unfortunately my Kaiser says that ICR in not valid windows application on matter what I do. It seem the problem is in ICR.exe because other components install just fine. And of course Vito records only me speaking.
Anyway the fact that it is possible to record both parties makes me optimistic. Maybe the day will come that I will have my advanced, expensive WMphone do what every cheap simple eric or nokia can do for over 5 years
I run stock Orange rom 6.0 (maybe that's a problem)

It say's that for me too... Ignore it, you don't need to open the app, it's just for settings anyways. Just follow the steps and use Vito (or resco or what you prefer).
It still mess up your graphics though.

do you have a screenshot of ICR?
I have been using Vito AudioNotes (on my Kaiser) for months now and when i want to record a call i must have it on Speakerphone, but i simply cover the speaker phone with my finger to reduce the volume so others dont listen in on the conversation.
pls show me what the ICR graphic is?
Thanks

I don't have a clue what it looks like, can't open it. The phone just use the drivers from the cab, I'm using Vito Audio Notes and it works like a charm. Callers and my own voice crystal clear. Had some minor glitches on some calls during the day but overall fantastic!

Any developers reading this? would be nice with a clean cab for kaiser! =)

Since I haven't come up with a solution to the graphic problem I simple disabled caller skin with Advanced Config and using Windows ugly thing for the time beeing... AT least it works, recording calls are more important (for me anyways).

I'm confused, what's this doing that Vito doesn't do? Is it going between the two? I know on the Kaiser most other recording software can't record the outgoing conversation, so no question there, just wondering how this enables it to work.
And is it progressing? No messing with the phone? And does it stay forever, or do you have to do this each reset? Each call?

roomy and i editing icr program stuff to work on kaiser so hang tight

Whoooopieee! Thanks a million!

Yes, this goes in between... There was an old audio driver for windows called virtual audio cable, it catched the sound (data) before it reached the audiocard and then you could route it to where ever you liked. This is pretty much the same thing.
So you can use Vito or any other app. The ICR just reroute the audio so that it ends up in the right place.
You have to use 'start recording' from the dialer menu after every soft reset but just for the first call. After that the 'driver' is activated and Vito will recieve audio for both parties of a conversation.

Hopefully it can be worked out so this is not a battery drain, and can be automated.
I wonder why Vito etc don't do this themselves?

I haven't noticed any battery drain and Iv'e set up Vito to record every call for the last 3 days so it looks promising.
Vito and/or Resco probably would if they could, this driver comes from HTC and I guess it's easier for the hardware vendor to create this than for a software developer. HTC don't need to make it work for any other brand or model, just for the device they choose. That's why... I guess... But what do I know, I'm nothing but a sound engineer...

Great find! This program does exactly what I need it to do, and with Audio Notes, I can maintain a record of all conversations. Very useful indeed! It's already saved me a couple of times by recording conversations where someone told me a phone number that I had to remember because I didn't have any way to write it down while driving.
I tried installing MBarvian's Opal Phone Canvas, and that seems to fix the graphics problem. The recording still works as before. Also, I can run the ICR executable, and it seems to be very similar to Audio Notes, although the vga graphics don't display correctly on my tilt...

How to uninstall IRC?
How can i revert back, my battery status and caller skin?

Hi All,
*** STRIPPED ICR CAB ***
Started off by downloading the cab mentioned in the starting post. Then i removed all the skin and other irrelevant file and registry entries in the cabfile. Which left me with a working ICR "lite" cabfile.
Just follow the same procedure described in the start post but instead use this cab.
It won't ruin the phoneskin because it has been stripped.
No guarantees, but this cab works fine for me..

RR69

I'm curious to see how this works for folks. Next step, make this automagically work after resets, etc.

I tested that, and it does automaticly work after a soft reset. Here's what i did until now.
(The Sashimi part and hard reset is optional)
I installed the cabfile (ICRKaiser.cab) and Vito audionotes 1.37 on my tytnII. Started audionotes, and edited the settings so the app automaticly records calls on my stroragecard in low quality mp3 format. Did a soft reset, and made the first call and selected "Start Recording" from the menu in the "normal" phone app. (Ended the call after a few seconds)
All the calls after that ar automaticly recorded by audionotes even after a softreset. Both sides are recorded... (You dont have to use "Start Recording" from the phone app. Vito does it all automaticly.)
--------------------
Sashimi automation! (see: http://www.winmo-experts.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4)
copied:
"\Program Files\VITO\Audionotes\settings.ini" to
"Storage Card\SASHIMI\AUTO\Root\Program Files\VITO\Audionotes\settings.ini"
Copied
"ICRKaiser.cab" and "VitoAudioNotes.cab" to
"Storage Card\SASHIMI\AUTO\CAB\ICRKaiser.cab"
"Storage Card\SASHIMI\AUTO\CAB\VitoAudioNotes.cab"
------------------------
So when i do a hard reset, and Sashimi has installed the cabfiles and copied the ini file, every works right away. and survives softresets
B.t.w. if you dont want the automatic call recording function you can skip the Vito Audionotes installation. The recording option in the Phone menu also works for two side call recording. It saves the recording in: "\My Documents\Recording\"

I've updated the "lite" CAB mentioned above with the ICR applet that was originally on the CAB floating around and skinned it to QVGA. Only for portrait nowbut I'll try to update it once more if I have the time. I've also overwrote the BEEP and BEEPBEEP sounds with silent WAV files, so no sound is made when starting/stopping recordings.
The applet let's user set format of recording (AMR or WAV) and if to save them on memory or card. It then shows a list of recorded conversations that can be played on the app itself.
It can be used stand-alone if one wants to manually start recording selected conversations or with the procedure on the first post of this thread for the automatic mode.
And as RR69 said here: "No guarantees, but this cab works fine for me..
"
And to think about a few months ago, no one could believe we could do ICR on HTC devices! Ha!
shmilson

Cool,
I just stripped the whole vga ICR application out of the cabfile. Nice to see that someone took the time to reskin it to qvga.
The only thing i would like to find out if the volume of the recordings can be set to be a bit louder.
Regards RR69
