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:

Somoene skinned the HTC dialer to match the buttons in 6.5 and it looked really good.

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 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.

New ROMs are great but all of them use the Slider Answer/Ignore. It' looking good but I'm not confortable with It. Is there a way to replace it and put back the old buttons ? And of course keep all the great new functions of coocked ROMs..
A positive answer would be GREAT
you should replace the phcanhtc.dll in Windows with the old one.. and of course... the grapichs need to be changed as well!

Do someone has this file ? I searched over the forum but did not find something right...
Is there a place where the different components of our Diamond (standard ROM) are stored ?
Try this registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendedSetting\SlidingPickup = 1 (Change it to 0).
I didn't try it myself. So try your luck.
Actually don't know if that reg key is working (don't think so cause I can't find old graphics in the \Windows dir of Diamond).
I think you should flash you diamond with the old 1.93, copy all files and then re-flash with the new one.
I've changed my Slide to Answer/Ignore as well, cause I didn't like it.
Cheers.
sorry, doubled msg.
Confirmed the reg key did not work even after a soft-reset....
Sorry, this is kinda funny. What I'm picturing in my head is after the new ROM's come out, we see a rash of CABs reverting back to the buttons instead of the S2A screen.
Sorry, just strikes me as funny.
Oh, and the registry edit doesn't work. Thought it might when the S2A first came out. Still wonder what it's for though, haven't figured it out.
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.

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

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...

I am glad to see I am not the only with this issue.
Dear Chefs,
thank you for all great work you have done so far!
I use the Energy ROM for about two months and I'm stunned about all the great features he provide.
However, there is one thing I can't stand: The lack of appointment- and task snoozing other then 5 minutes. This makes the remind function almost useless.
My German t-mobile branded TP2 (called: MDA Vario V) came with the option to snooze appointments and tasks by a selectable time. So I could choose remind me in one or half Hour for example or one day and many other options, rather than dismiss it over and over again every 5 minutes. This is really bugging me.
I found a fix from crackwhore but it seems to be not compatible with the current windows mobile 6.5 ROMs.
Because it is so important to me and, as I noticed, to many, many others I want to post a reward and invite everybody who want this feature to join me by posting how much you are willing to donate to the person who find a solution and share it with the community
A proper solution would be a fix that works for the latest generation of WM6.5 ROMs and it would be great to have it already cooked into the popular ROMs, including Energy ROM.
So if somebody finds a solution, everybody who joined me is asked to donate the promised amount to the person who provided the solution.
I start off with a offer of 10$
Feel free to join me and make suggestion.
And please be true to your word: Don't offer something you are not willing to donate.
Current Offers (25.10.2009 01:25 UTC):
10 US-$
and
0 €
Why dont you ditch MS with another commercial application in the market? Couldn't you able to find one? I dont remember it but there was a program like this. Google it I suggest.
You can set the "reminder" time as any minutes/hours/days when you add an appointment. Am I missing something here?
NVM, I solved it! I was able to replace the new Notification.dll that handles the notification bubbles with an old, stock one. See the next post for the solution I made!
Question
Did your stock German ROM have the notification manager, where you'd click the taskbar, and it brings up that full screen? And also, did it have the skinned notifications, like the EnergyROM does? Please just describe exactly how the stock ROM handled the notifications, describe it visually.
Information
I researched this for 5 hours, and I was trying to do this: I wanted to make the Notification Panel remain (Full screen when you click on Taskbar), BUT, I wanted to use the standard Windows Mobile notification popups, because those allow you to snooze better. Well, that's not possible, from what I could tell. It's either all or nothing, you can't mix Microsoft's and HTC's notification system.
Solution
So, you have to disable the entire thing, which means you won't have the finger friendly notification system when tapping on the top taskbar. You can find the registry to disable Notification Manager here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4125405&postcount=3
Advanced Notifications Power Snooze Appointments!

Maybe I should have waited longer, for the bounty to increase! Nah, I did this mostly for myself, but it did end up taking 5 hours! I hate registries!
How I Created It
I found the old NotificationLayout.dll, and used that one for handling the notification bubbles! This brings back the old WinMo notification style popups, but it also keeps the finger friendly notification panel! Win-win!
Imagine how fast the world is, I wish you could solve my break off with GF such a fast.
Have Fun, Cheers
Sunny
the solution that brings the old popups up, has been around since my touch x 6.0 and that is since december last year...
well well well......
Awesome. I had used the crackwhore one and it worked but this is better

FYI, crackwhore's is a better solution it doesn't eliminate the repeat function so what happens you get the alarm one time which was just as big a concern that I've had with some of the ROMs.

Lol dam. Wasted that effort for nothin? lol. Well we can add mine to the collection of CABs that do the exact same thing as the other
Hi,
sorry for the delay, but university was keeping me extremely busy this week.
However I'm glad you found a solution. It's so unimaginably convenient to be able to snooze the alarm!
However would it be possible to add some options? There is still room on the display for one option isn't it?
Very handy would be having options like four and twelve hours (half day).
I would rather surrender 10 minutes while already having 5 and 15 minutes.
(or maybe better: surrender 15 minutes while keeping 10)
However the current stage of development is already great and of cause I will stand my word of donating 10 bucks.
I invite everybody who like this fix to also support him since he was fair enough of not "waiting" for the bounty to increase first and he's doing a great job with his website anyway.
Best Regards, Time
PS: You are talking about other - already existing - solutions? I only found crackwhores fix and didn't get it to work. Well now I have a great one-click-solution I won't surrender ... would be just interesting to know.

Yea, flash the stock German ROM, and see how that operates. It'd be very interesting if they kept the advanced snooze options while keeping the slick notification style too.
I think that editing the DLL's is impossible though, but I guess it'd be worth a try. My initial goal was to keep the skinned notifications but add the snoozing. That'd be the optimal goal, and I will try to see if that can be done!

Well.....
First, download This File, unzip it, and place the DLL in the \Windows directory of your phone.
Now, here's where it may be different, apparently. Using a registry editor (like PHM Registry), try to find the string that is called CustomUIDLL and contains NotificationLayout.dll.
That string key should be located under HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM, however since the CAB didn't work, Valkyrie must have changed the location of the registry key. See if you can find it. Once you do, change the string value to: "NotificationLayoutOld.dll"
Hopefully that'll get it working!

OK.
Under HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM i have one folder named "reminder" and 3 other items named "default", " customUIDLL", and "userdefaultUI"
if i click on customUIDLL the string already reads "NotificationLayoutOld.dll" ( iguess from when I applied the .cab file) so there is nothing to change!
Also here is a screenshot of the contents in the HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM/reminder folder that I mentioned above
should i be editing the autodismissextendedduration file?
BTW I forgot to mention that when i install the cab file instead of "snooze' at the bottom bar I get the "menu' on the right and also another symbol on the left (like a phone with an 'x' next to it" but if i click on any of them the notification goes away and does not come back
So in essence the .cab works (because it points it to something else) but the location it point to, doesnt contain the necessary file to show up when you click on the the "menu' icon or the other icon that comes up SORRY I DIDNT MENTION THAT EARLIER BUT I WASNT AWARE OF IT TILL NOW.....
i've been trying to figure out how to customize my icons for a while now. so far, i've acquire a program called ResHacker and downloaded numerous different collections of icons. however, i have no idea which file to navigate to, inside of ResHacker, in order to change the icons. I was able to track down the files for the manila editor, but the icons seem to be hidden a little better xD any help?
What icons are you trying to change?
the ones in start menu/quicklinks (youtube, facebook, task manager, etc.) and also the ones across the top bar (reception, battery life, start menu icon, etc.)
I use the program Restart for that. Search the forum for a download. Its very easy to use!
For start menu/quicklink icons, try JWMD Icon Changer
The "top bar icons" you talked about are called taskbar icons. There are plenty of custom taskbars around xda, just do a search for it (remember to include your wm build in the search)
actually, i was trying to figure out how to cook these changes into a ROM. i know how to change them once i've installed the ROM, i just can't figure out how to cook new ones into my ROM.

if you know how to get it all setup on your rom after flash like you want, then cooking it in is easy. get all your start menu icons/folder icons fixed on your rom like you want them, then use a reg editor to export this to your pc
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start]
now make an extended pkg, using this reg export as the app.reg and the pics for your icons in the files folder of the ext pkg. put this ext pkg to run at the end of cooking cycle so the registry or pics dont get overwritten and thats it
for taskbar icons, find a set you like and use cab2oem then extrebuild to make an extended package from the cab and place it in your kitchen.

Here are some great skins for Skinning Your WM device for the WP7 look and feel
These skins are great especially if you use any type of WP7 launcher as your today screen
they really compliment the idea of having the new look of WP7 with the Functionality of our Great WM DEvices
ALL SKINS FOR iCONTACT and iDIALER and iAgenda SHOULD WORK FOR (W)VGA and W(Q)VGA
UPDATE: i wanted to make the skins look more really like WP7 feel and determined that that the real feel is black with dark grey
this way if you are using any type of launcher where you can change the color of the tiles and accents like in the wp7 throttle launcher you don't have to worry about the blue matching
as a result i have added a black and grey version to a majority of the skins i have
enjoy
iContact
WP7 Grey
WP7 Blue
iDialer
WP7 Grey
WP7 Blue
(1/3/11) ADDED... iAgenda WP7!!!!
WP7 Grey
WP7 Blue
to install:
i have included both a blue and grey version of each of the skins in each of the zip files
for the iagenda and icontact skin download the corresponding skins to their individual program folder locations and you can select it through each of their setting apps.
for idialer skins remember which ever skin you want to use rename the .png to "default.png" for it to work
enjoy and feel free to leave requests as i will be releasing more themes for iContact soon!!!!
I have also released a great new theme for a very finger friendly and intuitive file explorer
it is called throttle explorer.. if you've never heard of it i highly recommend it..

im not sure could be corrupt i guess ....
make sure you did not click save image as otherwise it will save as a png file but without transparency...
im using practically the same device.. should be no prob...
i will repakage the icontact and idialer skins in to one zip file ...
then try again... if it doesnt work again the only thing i can think of is you are using a different version of icontact.....
some guy took it over and redid it as opposed to the original but i was pretty sure they both use the same skinning process
edit.. saw your edit... lol

if you installed icontact.. it should be located either in
\start menu\settings\system settings\ icontact settings.lnk
or find it in the program files folder where you installed it there should be a exe called icontact settings.exe
good luck!!!!!
I wonder if it avaiable on QVGA screen?

Dear Trekfan422991,
I downloaded both “iDIAL” & “iCONTACT” CAB files prior to downloading the “Intui-tech Intui-Skins.cab” from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ onto my HTC HD2 device.
However, I have serious misgivings about the way these applications are offered to the user. I have no doubts that these applications are very useful and indeed do look very nice on the Internet site.
But, the instructions are hazy, misleading and frustrating. For one; a CAB file should be constructed in a way that the user won’t have to apply various other steps in addition to the actual installation in order to make the app work.
If however there is the need for some extra steps taken during and/or after the installation, they should be clearly described in a logical sequence. This is clearly missing from this application.
To be more precise, for a start there are problems with the “iDIAL” & “iCONTACT” applications. Once lodged there is no command to close down these applications other than pressing the return hardware button, which doesn’t really closes these apps. Furthermore, the instruction in “Intui-tech Intui-Skins” that one should use the settings; there are no such function exists in those two apps.
Sure, once I read in your blogs that there are some PNG files to deal with, the issue became a bit clearer, and at the same time more confusing as well, because from the “Intui-tech Intui-Skins” installation guide these were missing.
By this time one really sorry that started the whole business and wishes to remove these apps from the device. Alas, they do not appear under the “Remove Application” list, thus one has to remove them manually from the File Explorer.
Weather or not they left some traces behind is an open question. As to the “Intui-tech Intui-Skins”, it doesn’t appear anywhere in the device, thus it cannot be removed it seems…
I wish that such half-baked applications will not appear on these WM sites, and especially not when the instructions are misleading. I hope that my criticism will be taken as a positive one…

it really sounds to me like you think i made the icontact and idialer apps .....umm.. i did not i only released a couple of skins for them
btw the idialer is th one that doesnt have a setting app and i explained this in my first post on this thread
you can find the icontact setting app under system settings on your device
those instructions for settings and skins and stuff can be found on the actual developers website..
my skins are intended for people who already own icontact and idialer and know how to use them

the only reason i created a cab... (my first cab ever actually)
was to make it easier to place ONE IMAGE EACH in the icontact and idialer program file folder
all my cab does is essentially place an image in a folder
no uninstall was provided for them because it is just one image for each program
and if you know how to change your settings in icontact you dont have to uninstall it just simply select the default skin instead..

in acouple of hours my downloads on fwppc.net have gotten to about 600 downloads and i have no idea how many here
i dont see some one trying to provide constructive criticism but someone very confused about the applications they have downloaded to their device and the developer who created them
what i have taken though positively is i definetly need to provide more information and download at own risk warnings..
so thankyou
hello, I am using icontact BE but this skin doesn't work.. I put the image under the skins folder but it is not available at settings. It's too bad because I was looking for a wvga skin for it, there ara only vga skins...
If you have any idea, please tell me.
Trek.
Awesome job on this skin man. I installed it and it looks outstanding. Goes great with the dark look I shoot for with my phone. Thanks a bunch!
Looks good brother...
