Hi, is there a way to get the stock android ROM 2.1 to return to the home screen after using for example the dialer or contacts so when you end the call you dont have the dialer open still? My older windows TP1 and TP2 had that feature wich was nice.
Thanks

Yeah,there is an app on the market called Not Call Log. Set it for your home screen and when you end the call it will return to your home screen.
thanks, will give it a shot

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.

Its OK, but no smartdial list, photo id covers the windows logo.
No matter what dialler I use, I get no option for video call, any ideas?

Are there any good custom caller ID's out there? I'm looking for something similar to the iPhone w/ a nice BIG picture w/ answer and ignore. The default WM doesn't do it for me. I've searched the forums and can't find a thing, thanks in advance.
you can use S2U2. it is iphone like app that is used for locking device screen and it has built in caller id function. you can even change the phone number format. just look in S2U2 settings and you will find what you are looking for.
there are also some threads about this application so you can find all info in there
Thanks, I've tried S2U, didn't really care for sliding everytime i'd unsleep the phone. I've got big fingers, and it sucks when i'm driving having to slide a bar, i'm looking for a standalone caller ID app.

You can enable D-Pad and slide to unlock using the D-Pad.

In the new version you can use the green button to answer...
Next time follow the link on my sign....
You can also disable the sleep feature, and just use the Caller ID like I do.
id also like to enlarge the picture on the caller id ..... any other options?
You guys should look at PhotoContacts Pro.

There's got to be a free/better looking caller ID replacement out there somewhere, I'm going to try the S2U2 again and disable the sleep function as suggested...I'd still really like to see a GOOD replacement for the WM caller ID. Thanks for the ideas though.

you can enlarge picture to almost full screen
A few things to note:
If you've set your contact pictures using the default WM contacts program, your pictures have been resized to the size you see on your caller ID right now. Using a full screen caller ID with these low resolution pictures will look like crap. You CAN, however, use a third party contact manager to set a high resolution contact photo, but from what I understand, Outlook doesn't like that and refuses to sync the contact picture when you do so.

Just ensure you assign the phto's to the contacts thru S2V....

if you use s2u2 1.05 and also s2v and assign you contact pics thru s2v the caller id pics will take up pretty much most of the screen with good sized answer and ignore buttons its pretty much the best option out there and easiest to use i think try it if its not what you are looking for you can alway remove it
i gave in and installed s2u2, although im not using s2v i can still assign photos via outlook. some photos get distorted when they are blown up... i prolly just have to use a better quality photo

Nope, that's Outlook resizing your picture. You have to use S2V if you want pictures to look good when blown up. The only problem with this is that I think pictures won't sync up properly with Outlook if you use that feature.
Is it just on my diamond, that in the dialer the left and right button does not work anymore?
Are there solutions to open the call list without using the menu?
Thanks!

call list=call history, see first screen of yr thflo, under the clock and over yr next appointment. i think this is one of the +es of the thflo, being able to see call history without opening the phone
thanks, but i'm missing it in the dialer (i dont use touch flo)
...is there a better dialer or some registry hack?

try a search in the xda-developers\development and hacking.
there are a lot of dialers with the history button on them. the problem is that i do not recall any of them working for VGA...
In the PHONE mode (Dialer) you have 'Contacts' on the left, and 'Menu' on the right.
If you look in the center, there is another Icon.
Tap on it.. and you have the call history
Hey Folks
I upgraded to the official Hong Kong ROM upgrade on my HTC Diamond & whilst impressed by the speed improvements I have a major bug that annoys the hell out of me & thus hope some genius reading this can help fix the problem
On the home tab using the "phone" icon it then shows recent calls. However the left hand button that used to show "contacts" now shows "video call". I never want to make a video call & contacts is far more useful .... but there is no obvious way to change the function
Hoping someone can help
Chill dude.
This ain't a bug, it's a feature.
Personally, I do find video-call usefull, but ill prefer "send SMS"
Do U really need contacts? You can use the keypad T9 to find the person U want to call easily...
Circle your finger around the middle button and it rips thru contacts!

Use your favorite registry editor to navigate to [HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila] and change the following values:
"HomeLSKPath=addrbook.lnk" 'that's the application you want to use
"HomeLSKText=Contacts" 'that's the text that will be displayed on the left soft key on your Home screen
Do a soft reset.
Now your Left Soft Key will display Contacts, so when you press it, you shoul go directly to your contacts. Enjoy!
I've changed mine to Comm Manager.

With CT's rom version 4 if I tap Phone soft key on Today screen then tap the little phone icon between the video call and menu softkeys it removes the keypad and leaves me with last call and contacts list...
No ideas anyone .... it is really bugging me
For me i just disabled the phone skin with the Advanced Config tool. It reverts back to the old WM6 design. I still prefer that. Do note that once u do this, the vibration when a call connects is disabled.
Hey KGB-Agent, I have exactly the same problem...and it is bugging me as well! I upgraded my dutch ROM yesterday :-( Another problem I have is that when I look at my contacts the SIM contacts are not displayed, even when I configure this in Advanced Config Tool...HELP! Anyone else an idea how to fix???
Your contacts are opened when your in the phone app, just scroll! why do you want it to open another contacts process when its already there?!? up and down or as i already said circle the middle button with your finger
Hi Blaze,
Circling with my finger in the middle button doesn't work for me. Furthermore, with "Contacts" I could quickly scroll down with the Alphabet on the right to f.e. the letter Z. The way you recommand it takes me ages to get to the "Z"!
I called the HTC helpdesk, they advised me to do a Hard Reset. Of course...that didn't work...:-(
Go to start and choose contacts its the same screen.
I agree the videocall is a bad choice from the makers of this rom.
Most people do not use this kind of calls.
Grtzzz
I have the same issues with the loss of functionality Ries
I cant believe there are not more complaints
I emailed HTC 4 days ago with no answer :<
@kgb-agent: I phoned the helpdesk. They said I had to do a hard-reset!?! I couldn't believe it, but okay, I tried it...and what do you think: I still have the problem! :-( I guess we have to live with it...bad choice from the developers...
same problem
up
Two things:
1) why don't people use the smart dialling feature? this is where when in the phone keypad, you just spell out your contact using the alphanumeric keypad (it uses T9 to search) and it displays your search results in real time at the top of the dial pad... MUCH easier than the contacts screen - try it.
2) circling the middle button with your finger does NOT work for me, i have no idea how that is working for you since the diamond is not meant to be able to scroll using that 'wheel' unless you have installed some 3rd party software for it, or its unique to your ROM/region.
Hello, im using miri 8.1 premium and i want to remove the "slide down for more options" when i make a call... is this possible??
+1 i hate it!
+1, i really don't like it
yes! Me too, it is the most useless junk ever thought by the HTC ppl! It is annoying, please someone please help us remove it!
And why don't you ask miri for it in is thread instead opening a new one???

Its a pain to mute/un-mute during conf calls with this on.

For those users interested to find a solution to disable the curtain, here is the package. Could be a dll or a registry key.
Found a solution
Found a solution with reg key.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There is a DWORD value ResumeInterval set to 5000 (5secs).
I changed it 300000 (5mins) and soft-reset.
Now the call starts with slider on, you only need to slide down once. Then it will wait for 5 mins of inactivity to come back up.
Probably higher values can be used, but 5mins should work for me.
As always, modify registry at your own risk...

I must admit the Topaz dialer (as nice as it may look) sux! What was wrong with the standard HTC HD dialer? it supported landscape and was functional.

I had zero issue with the standard one, it was functional and did exactly as one would expect. Topaz dialer hides all options instantly making it absolutely dangerous to try and activate loudspeaker whilst driving . The other issue is landscape view, if using any rotate screen app and having the device in landscape (ie. whilst using GPS apps etc) and receiving a call there is no dialer shown at all!
Surely I am not the only one to notice these problems?
thanks man it helped
