Disabling the dialer skin on the Diamond made me gain 10MB RAM and made the device much more responsive.
But, it also decreased the visual quality considerably. Default WM phone skin is ugly.
My question is, is there a way to install a skin that looks better and still does not waste much RAM?
I remember trying many dialer skins on my original Touch, but none of them were VGA.
i am interested in a new phone dialer. I installed some dialer in my htc p3300 and run very well, including the smartdialing. it would be possible to install a new phone skin dialer with the old smartdialing to the diamond?, i think the only problem is to find one with smartdialing, vga grafics and videocall.
thank you.
There are dialers with smart dialing, but so far none for VGA.
I'm surprised more people aren't interested in an alternative considering the default dialer takes 10MB RAM for nothing.
also looking for a phone skin that is vga for diamond. i too felt my device runs better with the diamond phone dialer disabled, but would like a different look to the windows version.
many thanks
Looking for subj, too
Wow - 10 mb. Thinks i shall disable mine...
Here, not sure if it helps but skins for standard wm 6 dialer. One looks just like it was made for diamond (remove the $ signs) 4$p$d$a.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=78093&st=450
Removing the diamond dialer will also disable the incoming call screen?
Yup, this disables the incoming call screen too. Would really like a new dialer skin
Where does the 10mb come from?
Graphics? Can we not compress these graphics so when the phone is about to ring, it doesnt have to load up as much graphics etc. Might make it more responsive to incoming calls.
If the 10mb is from extra functionality then i suppose were stuck unless theres another dialer.
Is there a VGA skin for S2u2? i always use to use the incoming call screen from s2u2
So how about disabling the diamond dialer skin, and using a skinned s2u2 incomg call screen? Then im sure theres a standard dial pad skin to look like the diamond.
So vga diamond lookalike s2u2 skin??
I've tried all the phone dialers I found with google... nothing worked so untill HTC makes a good phone dialer with no 3 sec delay I'll stick with the default windows dialer and with a tweak the 3 sec is gone (only with wav files)

could you explain this tweak please? I have tried so many dialer/skin combos for VGA Wing and it drives me nuts that even at XDA there is no great dialer available.
I'm looking for large keypad and something other than black-this, black-that. I've seen the manilla dialer skins but they don't work too well for vga. but still, as for dialer software itself, I too add my name to this list of people still wishing to find an alternative.
There's a .cab file for WM5 wich works on WM6.1 that disables the 3 sec delay only if you use the default dialer ( wich is very ugly and I don't like it) and .wav files.. but I got a problem after that , when ringing the ringtone was very choppy and with interuptions... I did an Hard Reset ... and I'm waiting for a new dialer

Well, I am using video calling quite ...
...
never
Disabling the phone skin also disables being able to raise or lower volume during calls.
that figures , have been trying to figure out how to do that ...
You can remove the HTC Volume Control with this cab here:

This will allow you to change in call volume again.
I too am looking for skins for the standard WM6 dialer - the default grey is ugly.
I found this thread with some skins that are perfect, but they're all QVGA...

Has anyone been able to find any VGA skins?

You can do it with Diamond Tweak or Schaps Advanced Config. The Volume control needs the cab linked above.
Hi there,

I've already tried the last versions of mRing and Ringo, with no success.
mRing, doesn't work

Open to suggestions, this topic can help alot of users with this issue.
Thanks all.

I have tried either ringo and mring too. Ringo doesn't work, because put a lag beetween the received call and the ring. Often phone ringed when on the other side call was closed. Mring seems to go well. Phone rings after one ring (wm normal lag ) and I don't have had any problem....... so far.
I use original italian rom from HTC 1.37 and I've disabled phone skin using advanced config.
Cheers
I am using Photo Contacts Pro. This comes with Ring Manager, SMS contact rings as well as profiles.
Works well for me.
It looks interesting...
I didn't know that software...
To customize sms, it should be perfect

Your Diamond work well with mRing??
What version? does the mRing initial screen appears normal?
With mRing, mine don't even ring
could it be because of phone skin?

Yes it does. My version is 4.03. The inital screen seems a little bit confused but it seems work well. Try do disable phone skin and try mring again. Disabling phone skin you gain about 10 MB of free ram. If you like the skin that comes with the diamond try to disable it and use S2U2. It's better, lighter, and with a lot of settings.
Cheers
where can i get S2U2?

Hi! Also I have , not one but a lot of issues with the Photo contacts Pro in my Diamond. I really thing that it does not work with that device.
First I installed the last version 5.09 and had a lot of problems (rings, answering the calls, Extended menus of the Today's Plug-in,.....). Wit the older version 5.08 it seems that works a little better, but the Today's plug-in has some very big text, wich make the Today's Screen a real mess.
Best regards!
Simplest One
Use this freeware to add custom ringtones to contacts/ categories etc.
mine had stopped working after a soft reset following changing the registry location to the sd card so am very pleased to have found such a small app that assigns individual tones to contacts, thankyou
Pls, do you know any software to lock my Diamond during incoming call?
iPhone have that function, when you get incoming call, you must unlock first and after that you can answer. I nearly always tap the answer or reject button in my pocket while i trying to get my phone out... Can anybody help me?
OMG.......
So many times ... S2U2 (i phone solution with slide to answer), AnswerkeyDisabler, Sensorlock, Touchlock pro, Pocketshield, Inesoft Phone (Default skin for me best solution), .....
As noted, there are several programs available for the Diamond to handle inadvertant call answering. I use PocketShield, works great for me and latest release (2.01.0) has some nice features, including a very well done and functional replacement dialer and for a bonus, reduces program memory by ~8megs.
First of all, sorry if this is a re-post. But after searching all morning, I couldn´t find any solutions for this.
My phone constantly freezes after I check my text messages, when closing.
This happens with all WM 6.5 roms I tried so far (and believe me, I tried many).
Is there a fix for this? Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
I do have a lot of text messages stored. Is it a capacity problem of some sort?
Thanks in advance for you help.
i have the same problem, it freezes for like 1 minute after hitting the X or menu>close after sending an SMS in native windows SMS threaded mode.
it works fine in manila but if a incoming call interrupts your text it would be gone after the call...
first of all you have to remember that WM 6.5 is not for the HD and is being ported so there will be issues, however I dont seem to have this issue at all and am using Duttys 6.5 v4 ROM which kicks ass.
It does seem to be a strange issue though. How many texts do you have stored. I have ad 600+ (incoming and outgoing)
does the manila work fine for sending? as this backs onto the WM interface i would expect some issue here
Thanks for the replys guys
I also have 600+ messages as, for personal reasons, I should not delete most of them.
I'm using standard wm interface and sending and all works fine. Only issue is that phone completely freezes when I hit the X for closing the messaging window. Sometimes it freezes for a minute or so, other times I have to turn the phone off and on again.
At first I thought this was a wm6.5 glitch, but now I see not many ppl has this. I will flash rom again and strip my phone from all aditional apps I installed. Maybe one of them is causing this...

Well I have a WM6.5 Rom working on my HD for already 2 weeks now and it's working perfectly. I don't have any problem with the sms as you describe. But i don't have them in threaded mode cause I don't like it. Have you tried to change the view to normal mode to see if the problem persists? Have a quick check and maybe it works that way without the freeze. Just guessin...
I am using threaded with no issues. If your going to go for a ROM hit up on duttys new 6.5 there is an issue with the weather tab after install but tere is a cab to fix.
I have the same problem. I am using Miri v.23.
I never had this problem before on wm6.5.
I think it is the new HTC Task Manager I did not have this problem on Miri v.20
I have the same problem on dutty R5 (and had the same on R4), I also think it has something to do with task manager because when it's "freezing" I'm able to open start menu, but not to open task manager nor to go on manila...
i have the same problem on dutty's R4, R5 and miri's v23 maybe it's about task manager but i flash back to winmo 6.1 i got no problem with version 2.1
how do you backup and restore your sms when flashing the device?
for example PIM Backup is known to make problems...
change to normal sms, then backup, restore in normal mode and after change back to threaded. maybe this will fix your problems...

Since today (I think after installing XT9 keyboard) there is no notification anymore in the SPB Mobile Shell panel, if I have recieved a new text message.... On top of the screen the little icon of a enveloppe can be seen but the sms notification picture in SPB mobile shell stays empty.
Anybody an idea what causes this problem???
edit:
Problem got worse: now I cannot even sent text messages anymore (I can make a phonecall, I can use mobile internet)
I'm using the latest Dutch Generic Rom.
Hmmm, I used to have the same problem (the original, not your edit) due to a clash with XperiaTweak - you don't have that installed do you?
I actually do, but that went perfect since today..... But I've been using XperiaTweak already for a few weeks now and never had this problem..
The sms problem seems to be random.... Sometimes it does send a textmessage and sometimes it doesn't... Strange, maybe an overload of the sms server???
I think you should try to uninstall XperiaTweak and see if the sms icon lights up again. I had the problem 3 times and all 3 times it was a clash with Xperia Tweak. I'm pretty sure it didn't happen at first either, so I'd recommend that.

I'll try that
No succes, it's not XperiaTweak.
I think it's XT9 keyboard, which is also in It'jes roms
Or maybe the TMC software...
I uninstalled the XT9 keyboard because it screwed up my slide out keyboard. The hardware keyboard just echoed random characters no matter what I typed. The problem did not happen when I initially installed it. It took a while of use before the problem surfaced. Once I uninstalled the XT9, the problem went away. I'm using standard R3a.
So, I would be very suspicious of the XT9 keyboard since it is a beta software.
That's rubbish it didn't work, apologies for making you uninstall it! Perhaps it is XT9 after all.
p.s I'm sure you soft-reset after uninstalling XperiaTweak but just in case you didn't...
Try to de- and reactivate the "Messaging" Today-Plugin.
I had this also, try this:
