I'm looking for larger dialpad buttons? I've seen a lot of crap all over the place which is more of a piece together and there is always SOMEONE posting with bad news... such as "can't uninstall it" or "smart dial doesn't work" etc...
Is there a fully functioning (even if I have to pay money) keypad (dial screen buttons) with big buttons on it?
Thanks in advance!
try netcom smart dialer 2.5 - not free
There is another called reTOUCHed_Dialer2. This has much bigger buttons and easier than the built-in layout.
I am hoping somebody will have one with a different skin, though. The straight black keys are not my thing.

The reTOUCHed Dialer can be "skinned" (and I've seen a few). If you look at Dutty's planned no. 7 rom that dialer will be in it, and it will have blue/green buttons. I think Schaps' has it with purple.
Basically the dialer mainly consists of graphics for the backgrounds and buttons. You just need to edit all of them in an grapics program and you can modify it to how you want it.
Here's the cab for the standard Touch looking one.
i just upgraded to opentouch 3.0 slimline from 2.7 biggy.
Here are things which I am looking for
1) when someone calls me, earlier I used to get a full screen picture id with two nice fat finger friendly buttons to accept or reject the call. With new slimline 3.0 i get 1/3 screen text notification kind of message. How can I get full screen picture id notification. i presume I have install some app. Can anyone help me find that cab.
2) when talking I would like the screen to be on so that I can do other things like (get to keyboard etc.) In opentouch 2.7 biggy, there was an option to keep the backlight on while on call. In 3.0 I couldn't find it. Maybe someone can help me find that setting or app.
Open touch is a great ROM. I can't wait till 4.0 !!

1) I'm assuming you were using S2U2, just reinstall it.
2) Sorry, I can't help you with that.. :-(
Never used 3.0 and am now using MV-Rom 4.2..hehe
Thanks for pointing that out.
yes biggy version had S2U2. However I am not too big fan of the sliding. Maybe I have to live without full screen caller id.
I am still looking for disabling the screen-off during call
You can still use the Full screen caller id and disable screen off during call without using the slide to unlock feature. just uncheck slide to unlock in S2U2 settings
My first theme/dialer aka "Purple Nightmare"
spent quite a while on this, and this was my first attempt at editing manila, playing with xml and trying out mode9 (mode9 = killer!)
i would like to say thanks to Herg, Nisse, dHarvey, Xbmod, Showaco, Elvelynn, Mobilematt and a few others for helping me with this.
I attempted this as i noticed a lack of Purple orientated themes on the site... plus i think purple looks good with black!
Anywho, the home page is actually intended for the clock to be dragged back, think it looks more proffesional that way, plus ive "cleaned up" the home tab. you will still get notifications of missed calls and voicemails though.
Also, it contains a different background from the rest of the tabs, the hompage wallpaper will be added aswell. It also contains a different dialer...
To install:
Turn off TF3D
Put the Htc Purple.tsk folder in windows
Install .Cab file
*Soft reset*
Go to Start/Settings/Today and select the Htc Purple theme, and reactivate TF3D, choose the wallpaper through TF3D
as always, this release is not perfect. so if anybody finds any bugs, please let me know.
and there you go, hope you like it...

Things to do:
Lanscape dialer:
try and find a solution to get rid of the white box around the "end call" button
View attachment 163111
submit this to CRC for deviceUpdate deployment
Request it to be called something like:
TF3d Theme\Purple Nightmare
TF3d TSK\Purple Nightmare
Nice work.
Looks good!
thanks to 12aon, i made a matching landscape for the theme. But due to certain conflicts of manila files, where previously edited files are being replaced by files containing different data, it is causing a few "visual" problems in regards to the theme. This is a pretty easy fix, but i just cant find the time seeing as i have so much work at uni this month. Also, the port from TP2 is nearly ready, so im not gonna stress myself out to fix this .
the cab below was intended as an "add-on" but has now become a file in which i hope others will edit to their benefit. if anybody does edit the files to coincide with one and other, please post them back here.
INSTALLING THIS "WILL" CAUSE PROBLEMS, SO DONT MOAN AT ME AFTER... IM WARNING YOU!!
Finally, im preparing a similar theme for the new port, so bring on "Purple Nightmare 2" for the New TF3D!!!

Love purple! Thanks!
Hmm.. well, that didn't work... Hard reset time.
Installed as directed. After the (automatic) soft reset after the cab install, and re-enabling TF3D, all screens selected with the slider were blank (just the background image with title, no content/buttons), and after the 2nd or 3rd screen, the slider would freeze, and eventually error out with an exception in shell32.dll. Softkeys at the bottom were "OK" and "Help", rather than what they were previously set to.
Tried changing back to a stock theme, but that had no effect on the TF3D issues. After stopping and re-starting TF3D, the same behavior would occur.
Tried an uninstall, didn't really seeem to do much. Same colors, same behavior. As a last resort before hard reset, tried a "Reset to default" from the theme selector in Diamond TF3D Config. This reset all the graphics to stock AT&T (rather than the HTC version I had to begin with), but with the same freeze of the slider after the 2nd or 3rd selection from the slider bar.
Running on AT&T stock ROM, with tyguy's 'no bloatware' TF3D install from this thread. I had made a bunch of tweaks with Advanced Config Tool, Diamond TF3D Config, and Diamond Tweak. The main one that I'm wondering about that might have had something to do with it was changing the order of the icons in the slider.
Getting the fresh TF3D install going now, this time I'm going to try installing the theme before all the other config tools, and see how that goes.
Absolutely beautiful theme btw, I really hope I can get it up and running.
Got it reinstalled on a fresh copy of TF3D.
Home screen is still pretty much non-functional. When it starts up, it's blank with OK and Help softkeys at the bottom (Screenshot #1). After selecting any other page, then going back to home, the softkeys from the previously selected page remain at the bottom of the home screen (Screenshot #2, after coming back to home from the settings screen).
Pressing either of the softkeys on the home screen, regardless of what they happen to be labeled at the time, will cause TF3D to freeze after the next use of the slider. TF3D can be restarted without a soft reset, and it will work again, until one of those softkeys gets pressed.
I've also noticed that the background is a little bit different than in the screenshots you provided with the original post, and setting the jpg file as wallpaper from the settings screen doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
All screens except for home seem to be fully functional.
Update:
Hard reset and just let it install the AT&T Manila and bloatware, then installed the theme. Works fine. Must be something it doesn't like about the HTC Manila.
Before another hard reset to go back to the non-bloatware install, I did try a quick install of Glass Clock, which did not change the clock at all from the standard AT&T clock. *shrug*

i made this on the stock HTC Rom.... so i can honestly say, that i aint got a clue as to why it aint working for you. the only reason maybe is because of the rom difference maybe?!?!
but other that that i dont know why it wouldnt work...
Im sorry for the hard resets but if u do get it to work let me know man
good luck

Ah, no worries there. The beauty of having a fresh new phone with nothing on it: It's the ideal time to play, mess with stuff, and hard-reset to my heart's content!
Anyway, after some more monkeying around with this theme and Brian's blue/red & chrome themes, all of them seem to work fine with the AT&T Manila, but wierd things happen when I use them with the Manila from tyguy's package. I don't know if it's something to do with a difference in the flipclock-style Manila vs. the AT&T clock, or what. I'm brand new to the Raphael and TF3D (just picked it up after my Kaiser met an untimely demise by getting left on the trunk of the car.. d'oh!), so I'll have to do some more searching around. Prolly end up flashing to a cooked rom anyway, so the whole point will be moot. 8)
I'm down to one last thing that's not quite working with this theme: On the Settings tab, it doesn't come up with the white background like in your screenshot, it's just nearly black text on the mostly black background, very hard to see. Any ideas on that one?

Little help installing...
I tried installing as described in the topic-start, but when I try to install the _manoli20_purple night.cab I immediatly get an error.
The landscape_purple.cab works just fine. (looks very nice.)
Any ideas on what might be going wrong.

Direct error because of corrupt installer. Downloaded again and it works. Now to figure out how to get the landscape working as well.

good.... the thing with the landscape, it has files which clash with the theme.... if your new to this you might wanna stay clear of it. if your up for the challange then look into the diting of manila files, its not that hard. good luck.
The landscape 'cab' installs just fine, but while trying all sorts of other stuff I can't get the normal theme applied back on.
I can't get it uninstalled, can't get it re-installed.
Any tips on how to uninstall an unwilling app/theme short of resetting my whole phone.
Can I just go into the registry and delete the key, or are there files I have to delete also for that to work?
(fideled around with the manila customizer, and that gives nice results as wel, but nothing in landscape.)
With the dawn of manila over 6.5, I'd like to request a cab to make these two beautiful interfaces separate panels. I purchased my Xperia because of the slick hardware and styling, as well as the cool concept of panels.
I know you can just check and uncheck some boxes, but I think it would be slick (as do many others) if we could put them as panels (preferably on the new R3 panel manager). If anyone has anything brewing, I'd be more than happy to test.
Someone knows how to make a panel could easily convert touchflo detacher into panels imo, I was gonna try working on it but school has caught up with me
Is it soo dif. 2 make the existing panel cab for the TF3d beta 2 cab work with the beta 3?
Would it be possible to clone the today screen and unlock it as a panel, with independant settings etc, then tick the different boxes for titanium and touchflo on the different main today? I'm not familiar with the xperia sdk etc and have never made a cab. I thinks fards said he was looking at it.
Could anyone familiar with the touchflo detatcher say how its done? And whether it can be adapted for winmo6.5?
Anyone any smart ideas? Still some really nice new manila/titanium roms coming out. Is anyone working on anything?
How about try to have a bounty on the person who can develop this???
try contacting the author of the original touchflo panel
i tired to enable manila v1 as panel in wm6.1. i no its not the same but here is my experience in case someone wants to try and devolp a panel for the new manillla....
1.new start menu must be on.
2. turning off manila from do and then loading touchflo panel leaves us with a white screen with loading....
3. if u press start at this point. the manila start menu loads and after u close the start menu......you will find that manilla in panel started......not much problem after that and everything runs fine
NOW:
i havnt tried this in wm6.5 coz that would probably require titanium start to be off.....which i dont want.
but the point is: manilla is loaded all we need to do is trigger it to show up....
just do it the old fashion way. flash a 6.5 rom, install tf3d beta 2, install the panel. switch back and forth. done

That's promising, but it would be better as a panel. Is there a way to have a second today panel which has separate tick boxes? Anyone know who was the author of tf3d panel?
ja thts a good Question...
coz i just cant get it tht its soo hard 2 change the panel...
\from beta2 to beta3 atleast? but looks like I"m wrong..

Tried at the weekend - it's easy to make a html switcher panel but this is no easier than just ticking what you want in today settings. And it's easy enough to make a show manila panel using Touchflo detacher, which then takes you to Manila home automatically, but the html panel is still truly a blank white screen not TFlo so it's not functional as it should be.
And I couldn't figure out a way that the standard today would always show Titanium. It would have to use the panel button using mortscript to close Manila, then load panel manager in order for it to work. It would be usable (just) but not satisfactory enough for me to spend time making it.
ya I tried using a simple html program launcher panel and found that although it loads up and closes the manilla program it doesn't redirect you back to the home screen after its done so you can view it, I've been looking through c++ panel documentation trying to understand how panels work.
Would Titanium be lighter detached...? I'm not really sure how to approach it from a programming perspective, but it would be amazing. The second today does work REALLY well, but I would LOVE to see it as a panel.
Quick update: The second today prog does not work! Anyone looking into this?

And neither does mToday. So have to be using TFDetacher to toggle between default Windows and TF3D.
Shame...anyone know who wrote TFDet or can write for it??? I'm desparate
hi!
someone knows a way to disable the transparent curtain which activates when you start a call? (the one that covers the keys - type loudspeaker, microphone, etc ... - that they can't be pressed accidentally)
I knew a cab by Shaks for TF3D but this doesn't work with the TF3D2
can't disable it via the windows registry?
Which actual phone do you have? What mods are you using? (if any?)
i've a diamond and windows mobile 6.1 with tf3d2 (rom Gen.Y D2 R1.25 ITA)
Have had a look through the Tachi Dialer post, have a look at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There may be something in there to disable it. You're looking for "PhoneLockEnable". Or even try adding it.
