HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin - Please export

I need someone to export HKLM/security/phone/skin from their phone. I'm trying to determine what keys were lost on phone when I was trying out some skins. If you could export (or copy/paste) the reg key and the sub-keys that would be awesome. Please post the attachement or the code to this thread...
thanks

enabled 1(0x000001)
ext \windows\phcanhtc.dll
Does that help? Or do you need sub directories also?

I really need the subkeys. What I'm trying to figure out is why my call history and speed dial buttons are using the default icons instead the ones actually in the \windows directory. I've verified that skin's icons are n the windows directory but when I view the phone app, the buttons are back to default (for call history and speed dial only).
If you could export or copy/paste the 'portrait' subkey that would be very helpful.

Here you go. Need more? Let me know.

Have you done any phone dialer skinning on this phone? or is it the original phone skin?
I've got a bunch of text color reg entries so maybe that's the cause...

I did install the black HTC dialer but removed it long ago. I didn't think about that when I exported it... sorry!

no worries....
I made a backup of that key, tehn removed everything that wasn't on yours... rebooting, I'll let you know what I find.

Damn, still got the default buttons.
Griz, can you check your speed dial and call history buttons. Anyway you can snap a screenshot to show what your buttons look like?
BTW.. thanks for all your help on this. If we find a fix I know many threads that will benefit from this....

I don't know if you will be able to see this, I dont have a screen capture app on my phone so I used a camera...? If it's bad, I will load a screen capture app and retake a picture for you. Or maybe you need to see more of the screen?

actually I need the speed list screen and the call history screen. Here's a good & free screen capture util....
Install this from your pc, then assign the magicSS application to a button, go to the screen you want to capture, press the button, save the file. When you are done, reassign the button to the previous setting.
Application credits go to Lou ........ http://www.louterrailloune.com/?page_id=7

OK, how is this?

the 3rd one is what I was looking for...
hate to tell you this, you have the same issue. look at the image used in the call history button in the image above. Now, view the actual files that are used for those images in the /windows directory. The files are:
spd_lst.gif
clg_in.gif
clg_out.gif
clg_missed.gif
The above files should look different then the above image. Do they?

This is what I see in /windows/clg_in.gif

-- scratch that...

that should be the image you see when viewing call history inbound calls, as you can plainly see from your screen shots, what's in the windows folder is not what is being displayed in the phone app.
And here's the kicker, at one point it did match. The image you show above (clg_in.gif) is what my original call history buttons display like. Even on some of the skins I tried, the speed dial and call history buttons skinned properly. I just notice that it won't do it anymore.
Either a registry entry has changed (or been lost) or there's some sort of OS icon cache issue.
The only reason I don't think it's registry related is that those files are usually treated differently when skinning the phone dialer. Most skins will create a folder with the replacement images, then the install will change the registry to display the images in this new folder. These 4 files never get put into the new folder, they always get dropped directly into the windows folder, overlaying the ROM file. Also, I've never seen any registry entry for these images. I would think that the registry entries (if they existed) would be under the reg key mentioned at the start of the thread.

grizzley said:
OK, I never noticed that these were wrong icons. But it's an easy fix. Just replace the ones that are in the /windows dir with the ones you want.
Is that what you are after?

yes that's how it should work, but it doesn't.... it's displaying a set of icons bulit into to the phone app...

HTC Touch Pro Home iconset

I’ve created some new icons and made little changes to the HTC Home plugin’s graphic files because I wanted them to fit a little better to the Touch Cube style, and keep that somehow professional look.
Download and unpack the HTC_Touch_Pro_home zip file and you’ll find the install options inside.
You will have the original graphic files too, if you want to change them back later.
Download HTC_New_Default.tsk also, if you still don’t have it.
You should donate my work if you like it! Thank you very much!

Nice iconset, they really do look good.
You should contact emunutz at PocketEmu Software
so he can add your icon pack to his HTC Home Customizer.
Your icons would be available to many more users and
it would be much easier to install them.
Good job!

mice wrk ! ! ! !
I LK it

Thank you!
GAMBIT999: Thanks, I will contact pocketemu.

sorry for noobie question.
Can't overwrite original files. Trying to find something to use in SDtools, but nothing works.
The only think i know would work Resco file exp.

Hello!
Before you copy the files to your device you have to disable the htc home plugin:
Settings/Today/Items/HTC Home
after this you can copy the files and can replace the originals

hhc
is there any way to use this icons with the Htc home customizer? I think I have to rename the files and put them into a folder....

i don't use hhc so i don't really know, but a guy from pocketemu sent me an e-mail that he will add my icons to the HHC. visit the pocketemu page and maybe it's already there

Some new things
I have some new little things for those who like them.
You can have a blue backlight for the default HTC clock what I think looks pretty good with my Blue icons.
download and extract Bluelite.zip and put the 3 files to the /Windows folder of your device.
1. You have to disable the HTC Home plugin first:
Settings/Today/Items/HTC Home
2. Then you can copy and replace the original files.
3. Enable the HTC Home again and that's all
The other file is just a replacement for the default contact picture in the PocketCM. You can have my blue person icon as default.
Copy the png file to the /Windows folder. That's all.

Cool Man!! They Are Very Cool!! Just Fit Htc Style!
Thanks!

TF3D Email Tab Remove Envelope

I have seen a few people remove the envelope so you can read more on the email preview. ITNV sent me 2 manila files and they worked like a charm. I'm using Herg's V6 Flip clock TF3D, so I haven't tested on stock Fuze or other TF3D themes. I would highly suggest you use Total Commander and back up the 2 manila files that are in your windows folder, then copy these to see if they work.
My basic steps, I used total commander, and looked in the windows director and found the 2 manila files and copied them as a backup.
77fb7fad_manila
21449ae5_manila
I went to settings, Today and turned OFF TF3D.
Then I took these 2 manila files that are the same name (and came from ITNV-Thank you) and copied them to the windows directory and clicked overwrite.
I then went back to settings, Today and turned ON TF3D and bam, the envelope is now behind the message, and I can read the a lot more than 2 lines. I've been looking for this for a while, hope it can help you as it has me.

Didn't Upload First Post
Sorry about that, they should be on this post.

The envelop was behind, however I only saw two lines of text still. Can post a pic and also did you do anything else beside replacing the files

Sorry
I got these files from ITNV, and he said he was pretty sure this got it done for him, no guarantees. Sorry if this didn't work. All I did was write these files over the files that were in my windows folder.
These are the files I had backed up before making the change. "I am using Herg Flip Clock V6" Not sure if the theme or TF3D you are using might make a difference.

Thanks. Great find. Here's a cab that I tested and it works for me. You still have to follow the directions and TURN OFF TF3D BEFORE INSTALLING and I still advise saving a copy of the manila files before installing. I have attached a cab as well as a photo to show what it looks like once installed. I did experience a lock when turning TF3D back on that required a soft reset and then turning TF3D back on but there were no other performance issues once restarted. These cabs do nothing more than add the files cparkhorn provided. There is a cab to remove the envelope and another one to add the envelope back. Thanks again
Edit: Seems to be working so I posted something on it here: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1828
Thanks again

Worked as stated, thanks for the cab btw it made the process that much easier

Thanks for testing - those guys did the hard work of figuring it out...I just made a cab of their work

She won't let me install a registry editor on it (yet) which is literally killing me [I just want to see what's there]. I'll have to install it when she's showering or something and just remove the shortcut from the programs list so she'll never know

you must have a different version of TF3D (or at least different manilla files in play). Did you confirm that you do in fact have these two manila files on your Diamond? I want to make sure it was overwriting a file and not just adding one new one and over writing one...

Thanx, this works fine with ROMeOS from monx 1.704 Ger Version...

[SKN][REQ] 6.5 WM dialer

Well I think its fairly apparent that M$ is not going to make a newer style native dialer for 6.5 so we may be stuck with the same dialer from the WM5 days.
Is anyone willing to redesign the layout of WM dialer? We have several different skins, but I think a new layout is whats needed for 6.5, perhaps to mimic the HTC dialer, or perhaps different.
Any takers?
Edit: I will update the first post and add in everything that we can come up with for easy access. Thanks to all who support.

+1 for this. Not sure if the layout can be chnged yet, but maybe some skin to make it look changed. Is there some existing skins for this somewhere already?

+1 for the layout change though. There is some unused space at the top that I don't like. The number buttons are not quite finger friendly either. IMO.

Maybe we coud post a zip with all the stock images and reg entries to make it easy on skinners. Can someone put together a zip with all of this stuff and Adam can link it in first post?
I will most likely have a look at this too, but busy at the time being. I'd like to make it look like the HTC dialer, and then go from there.
Not sure if this is the same dialer, but there are a few skins for stock dialer at www.skinzone.org. They were from 6.1, so not sure if they would still work.
EDIT: I gathered up the images real quick, but didn't get the registry yet. Let me know if you think I missed an image.

Sure thing, I will update the first post and add in everything that we can come up with for easy access. Hopefully people will see that something is being done and will join in. It may not hurt to contact some good people with photoshop skills either like Herg and bilbobrian.
Edit: After thinking about it, we may get better coverage if this was moved to the Development and Hacking forum.

I wish they would make the dialer the same as how they have the dial pad for the lock screen...that would be sweet if somebody could make a skin or dialer like that:

That looks great, I just wish the HTC S2A dialer didn't have issues with WM6.5

i'll take a crack at it later tonight after work...its been bugging me too.

That would be awesome... and I know we can expect something good from you, you always seem to post top knotch applications/themes/tweaks.

Hi,
Attached is something that I quickly knocked up to make the WM6.5 dialer look a bit more like the lock screen when in a call.
I hope that it is useful.

Matt, what is the file attached. I noticed the different default theme pictures in the folders, but I am not sure how this file should be used. Is it a program that allows you to choose a theme? If so, which file to you run and do you run from pc over activesync or from the device itself?

If you extact it on your PC, the directories are for cooking and if you run the "make_cabs.bat" you should get a folder called cabs with installable cab files that will change the phone's skin. You need to soft reset to get the phone to use them after you install the cab (or copy the files over in Resco Explorer from the folder of your choice.)
(see attachments - I am using the Blue Drop theme)

big thanks

I hate to admit that the same happened for me. I ran it three times...then I thought about it. And I refreshed the window.
I doubt this is your problem, but I had to put it out there.

just to let everyone know, i am working on something, I'm toying with going with squared-off buttons (see 6.5 calc for an example) or the lockscreen-esque rounded buttons (similar to mpattman). should have some time this weekend to really polish it.

Rounded buttons.

Just another standard WM SMS Thread improvement. (with simple tutorial)

This is just another SMS threading improvement.
I use color background thru .css code instead of graphics which mostly have already done.
As a result, loading is much much much faster.
Just copy the files to windows folder after back-up of same files. Tested on xperia x2 6.5.x. If you wan to change the colors at your preferrence, a simple tutorial is attached.
I am not a programmer. I just googled some syntax on html and css files.
I got most of the codes in this thread. Thanks for all the coders there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622520&page=89
I am so happy with what i have achieved.
PS. The contach bug, is not really a bug. its been explained somewhere in the link given. The contact picture takes the latest message. If its a received sms, it taked the senders pic and if its a sent sms, it takes your pic. to somehow resolve the issue, i have decided to put in one place the sender and recipient's name.

Good work man, it's definitely faster.
I noticed it doesn't show the dates/ties of messages in the threads - if it could do this it would be great.

Yup,
Here you go:
This is on Toshiba TG01.

I see.....its because the .css files are for 6.5.x. It seems you are still using 6.5. I hope you still have your original files if in case you want to revert back to original style. In 6.5.x, the header even stays steadily with small time and date stamp and with contact pix. Its really nice looking.

aha!!
if I post the css file from 6.5 would you have a go at converting it then please? I'm happy to test it...

Sure, why not. But i cant promise i can do it. Just please try to post the original 2 css files and 1 htm that came from your 6.5 os. Thanks.
