Hi,
For all of you who doesn't like the gray color or are tired of the same old touch look, I made a new dialer skin. If you have PDVIET 4.0.0.0.6 or you have installed touch style dial pad, all you have to do is to copy these files to your windows and soft reset. I don't have time to make a proper cab file, but feel free to make a cab file out of these and share it with us
oh by the way the dialer skin is only for portrait mode, later on I will make a landscape too.
I also installed the transparent home plug in icons, I uploaded them before, but I'm gonna upload them along my other files.all you have to do is copy all the .png files to your windows folder and soft reset.
I hope you like it
Nice. I've build cabs...
Hello,

(if so please specify which folder in the /windows)

haha well i though this skin is so brilliant that nobody wants to go back to the original one lol..
all you have to do is overwrite the attached images to your windows folder
If you want your home pluging Icons back, sorry i don't have them , you have to hard reset.
It is nice , but I found it too bright
it is not easy to see in the sunlight, may be with another text colour will be nicer
thanks for help
its nice, but if im gonna change the background picture im gonna have to change the buttons too, maybe you should remodel the dialer in a way that the background of the numbers is transparent ?

If you look closely at the buttons that i posted , they are transparent (look at the numbers) the thing is that i haven't found a dialer dll that supports transparent images. If you found a dialer that you could simply change the background image, let me know

Photoshop Files
Okay, I promised that I'm gonna make a dialer skin so that everybody can change it just by changing one background image! well i tried and I didn't succeed. but for those of you who know Adobe Photoshop, I attached the psd file so you can use it to make your own dialer. all you have to do is to change the background layer and save your file as a png file. If you don't know Photoshop just don't bother, I really can't explain further. also you have to overwrite the button images with the images in the zip file. If you know Photoshop and you want to make a dialer for yourself, look at my psd file, trust me it will help feel free to share your creative dialer skins with us

Touch and touchlike dialers
Guys, hdialerere is my 2 cents about the touch (and derived) dialers
Positive: nice big buttons
Negative:
1) The photo is awfully small, even smaller than in the standard wm6 dialer
2) 2 buttons are missing: speed dial and history. You have to open these functions with options. not funny
3) There is still some space left on top that can be used.
I hope that someone can make a dialer with these buttons and with a bigger photo. Thx.

Thank you hma4! Excellent work all around. Question: I run linux and have access to GIMP which can do many of the things Photoshop can...is the layer method supported in GIMP as well? I'm wondering if there is a step by step tutorial on the net somewhere and willing to google for it...always willing to learn something new although I am in no way or shape an artist.

GIMP opens psd files and also supports layers. for tutorial for GIMP you can visit here: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/
here is what you can do, try to open the .psd file that I uploaded couple of posts above, then if you could see my file in different layers then you can work your way from there. you have to make 3 .png files, namely:
Progress_BkgdP.png
Dialer_BkgdP.png
indialer_ps.png
all you have to do is look at those layers, one of them is the background image, try to change that to what ever you like, another layer is the button masks so you have to overlap that on your background, and finally save the file in .png format with the names that I mentioned.
I really can't write a thorough tutorial for this, I think if you spend a little time you can figure it out all by yourself.
Good luck don't forget to share your creative work with us
A new theme-GeometriX...included are skins for pocket cm, dialer, cube, new menu and comm manager. Copy all file to windows, only the pocket cm file into program files-pocket cm. If you didn´t before, remove at first the write protection of *.png- and *.brn-files in windows with total commander. Mark all files, right click on properties , unmark "read only". With a registry editor you must replace the biotouch.reg with my file (download) in HKLM/Software/HTC. After this the cube reads the windows files (before he took them from ext-rom). Download here
will try it today... nice one man..
Edited the theme:
iMort-skin and welcomehead for non-prophet users also integrated.
AGAIN !!!
Oh Schaef... another gr8 theme!!!
But b4 gettin the cube files installed i'd like to know whether the default cube animation (rotating motion) would get changed or not.
I'd like 2 keep that animation

Yes...it get changed. In evry cube animation i have another way for changing. Spiderman Theme has a fading cube animation, pirates a scroll animation and now it is also a different way....the app manager opens from the middle, the media hub scrolls right and the contact app scrolls up/ down.

Schaeferreiner... Can we get you working with Gullum for a Ultimate Prophet rom? and not just stability, speed (those are basic), but also something uniquely Prophet. HTC touch has the Cube, iPhone has the iPhone interface, what about teh prophet? I bet we can start a fundraiser donation from paypal for the Ultimate Rom.
@ Schaeferreiner
man... i liked that cube animation!! the dialpad skins weren't workin 4 me in my crystalv4 rom. also i use PocketCM 0.16 (as it starts much faster than 0.15)
also i think that a black toolbar looks better than the default lime green one.... what do you think???

Yes...i think black is looking good. I have the problem, that my program for tsk-files only changes the colors into dark or light colors, but not into black or white.
Here is a program for changing colors of the task- and bottom-bar.
Soon i will make the skins for pocket cm 0.16, when i have the time to do.
Edit: Pocket CM 0.16 is at this time not really easy and good to skin. I tried it, but it doesn´t work perfect. I will wait, until a new beta releases and try it again.

I made all my styles at first for gullums prophet touch, because i like him and his work very much. But gullum has a line through his roms, all are dark/ grey - his "corporate identity". I like to bring a little color in these roms. That is the difference. And if you look some posts over yours, one user (Netrunner) gets nausea, when he saw my design. I don´t wanna be responsible for the health of this poor man

I have searched for ways to skin dialer, most are themes or dialer (big button etc). but no one has offered a way to put a picture in the background of the existing dialer for 3.0.1.
I have the grass picture as my today background and would like to use the same idea for the dialer. Any other dialer that I have found is seriously deficient in some feature (911, smart dial, buttons disappearing, barfing). All I want to do is drop the jpeg behind DCDs dialer.
Any help?
if im not mistaken, big button places ALL the images used to create the dialer in the windows directory. by editing these files you could change the way it looked so i suppose you could just photoshop your grass into that file system
You will have to work with Dialer_BkgdL.png, Dialer_BkgdP.png, Progress_BkgdL.png and Progress_BkgdP.png for the vogue and htc dialpads, but if you have just the plain wm6 dialpad its a matter of matching the attributes of dlrback_port.png and dlrbackland.png in your windows folder and then replacing them with what you want. It's a very simple dialer to skin and make custom buttons for. I've never custom skinned one of the HTC dialers so maybe someone else knows what you will have to do.
If you want to use the wm6 dialpad and don't have it installed you will need to cook a ROM. If you want to use DCD's just simply don't select a dialer when cooking your rom. This will load the default.

I think you have the information backwards, or at least that is what I have read. In DCD's 3.01 kitchen if you want the wm 6 dialer do not select either of the dialers in the kitchen. I believe the HTC Vogue Dialer (PhoneCanvas) is a version of Paul_Hammons Mogul_Big_Button_Dialer which is easily skinnable by just overwriting image files in the windows directory. This dialer also does not break any CDMA functionality, AFAIK
Information on skinning Pauls dialer is available at http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/91652-sprint-native-big-button-dialer-theme-here.html
If I am wrong, I would like to be corrected as I have been fooling around with this for a while.

You are correct. I use that dialer and have made many themes. You can skin the dial pad, the background, the smartdial screen, status screen..... the only thing you can't really skin is the dial pad when it is being pressed. it just uses a solid color rather then an image.
But overall great dialer to work with, if you want to skin your own dialer.
Not true my friends... I have on my laptop a program and an OEM dialer that works great with it.... You can skin the dialer background and buttons ANY way you want.... even the keypress.... I am not by my laptop right now and can't remember the name, but gimme a couple hours....

So if I am correct.. Your allows you to skin the dial pad when pressed. ( So that the digit will still be displayed rather then just showing a solid color?)
Because I can skin the dial pad when pressed but it doesn't display the digit only a solid color that I want. ( This is for the Big Button Dialer -- Aka New Vouge)
If you are using the program to skin the orginal Vouge then yes you can, but that dialer messes some things up on the 6800 functions.

Hey bro. Here is the dialer skins that you might need. These are for the Big Button Dialer aka New Vogue.
Yes!!!
Dude you have just completed my phone. Grass background, Vista skin for MortPlayer, your dialer, and a custom S2U2 background of my daughter running
The cab is sweet, easy install and I can cook it into my rom next time. You are the MAN Carlos!!! A million thanks!
Did you find these or make them? Either way, thanks!

I made it with the help of the grass background you provided on your first post.
Sorry guys - Never got back to my laptop till now..... Here's the program and dialer I use....
I use Tiermanns Tdial Designer program from http://tiermann.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1:tdial-designer&catid=1esktop&Itemid=3
I works great with the Dialer I am uploading..... I made an OEM of the dialer. His program is real kool in that you can just drag and drop the files into the OEM dialer folder and replace them with yours OR it makes a CAB so you can just update the skin as needed..... SWEET program......
Sorry it took so long, and I'm glad Carlos helped ya out....
Now that our community knows how to skin dialers.. I say we post some of our unique work here.
Well not only to see what we all have but to share our work too.
I will upload mine later today. I dont got the files with me right now.
Here's my latest creation.... I had some Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders on there, but alas, the wife didn't like em.... go figure... lol
Thanks goes out to Tiermann - You da man.....
Edit: When you press the buttons on mine, the text and outlines turn red while the background of the buttons shades darker so you can see clearly what button your pressing....

Looks good.
One thing that I see is that in portrait view the call history and back buttons stay grey, as does the mute button in landscape.
Is there a way to make all the text one color?
When using the gloss functions there is no way to have white text?

When needed I just photoshop those files to match my dialer. I dont believe their is a way to change the color of those objects rather then just manipulating the image.
How does he manipulate the other number buttons? They are all png files, I don't see why those can't be included with the numbers, or even better, have their own color selection....
I'm not sure tiermann wants to go throug the hassle or if he has the time.... He's a busy man.....
Here is a couple of screen shots of my Reanimation Themed Dialer.
Also A vista big button dialer with different history and back buttons ( to show that you can change them by modifying them)
Is there a theme for this background because I applied it as a jpg and it was white and washed out, the dialer CAB looks Much better than the background Just using the JPG file. How did you make this your background thanks.

Is this a reply to my post? If so, those JPEG pictures are just "SCREENSHOTS" of how my Reanimation theme dialer looks.
I created the theme with a background and yes I installed it with the CAB installer.

nueCPL is a fast, functional and skinnable CPL that uses Manila 2D skins. It aims to replace the ugly and nonfunctional default WM control panel. This is a test version that is almost complete. There is no installer yet, you will have to copy to \Windows. It is currently QVGA only. (VGA in next release).
Please don't mirror the files, but link to the post instead, so that old versions do not float around. Thanks.

Excellent addition to the growing manila 2d collection.
Very nice. Waiting for VGA release...
What a super app!!! Really cool, thank you!
And is it possible to make a slide up\down and not to tap the button to reach all the cpl (like in programs in manilla)?
Sorry for my english.
wahoo!!!
Good job as usual man
I will test this right now!
looks nice, waiting for a black theme and someone to apply this to other menus as well
I love this app. Suites very good in my HS++ Manilla2D skin. Are you planning a WQVGA version in the future. Unfortunately I've a unused space below the panel. See screenshots.
I love this, it is much and much better than the original control panel. Though the sliding over the icons at the bottom does not go very well. The "growing" of the icons happen to late, it does not follow my finger very well if i go to fast. I have a Kaiser.
Great Job! This is very beautiful "Setting".
How about adding "Programs" in M2D Style?
any way to make this a plugin on throttle launcher?

ah, yeah - should be a simple fix for WQVGA, we'll see on next release.
Hi no2chem,
Looks are stunning and nicely integrated with my M2D setup. I do have some requests for optimising (IMO) the functionality:
- add D-pad support
- single tap to activate an item instead of double tap
- use flow animation instead of a jump to the next/previous page
- swap the up/down swipe (now I've got to swipe down for a second page where manilla needs a swipe up)
- a small config-tool might be usefull as my requests may not be to everyone's satisfaction
looking forward to next version.

I'm waiting for a cab
Graphics Problems
Hi,
You can see from the screen shot attached that there is a problem with the graphics on the tabs. I am using a custom M2D skin which may be the problem. It is very slow on the sliding action between tabs but if I tap on a tab it changes to that tab straight away.
Very good concept for a programme. I'm looking forward to the final version.
Many thanks,
andrew-in-woking
looks like a great app .. will try this today
say, is it related to M2D? or is it just in m2d style?
it is just M2D style
great tool pls support also the wqvga!
fonts are a bit small but hey it works
Thanks so much wow what a lovely eye candy for control panel runs a little slow on my prophet but otherwise a great app thanks

try it.
Thanks.
Is it possible to make an end call button of slide mode?
Any update on QVGA version?
Good Work.
Good job, Thanks!
thank you very much mr rugal.helpfull.thank you
thanks so mutch mate.i ve been looking for so long for a samsung dialer alternative that is also a cprog replacement.
The thing is that this dialer replacement is a FANTASTIC one, maybe the best out there for Samsung and similar phones, but there is one thing that stops me for using this dialer, and that's: Keypad doesn't Autolock after you press Call to talk with someone. I've read on lots of forums how to remove this Autolock or at least how to dissable it. But my question is Why to dissable it? That thing is placed there with a reason and that reason is this:
- When I dial a number (which I don't have saved in my contacts) I usually use Dial pad ofcorse. I press the numbers and Call button and everything is ok until I accidently press the phone to my chin or face and the Call is ended or put it On Hold cuz I touch those buttons with my skin. Thats why Autolock is here, not to accidently end your call.
So, my questions is: Is there a version of this dialer with enabled Autolock Keys? Or at least is there a tweek to enabled this after I implement this dialer on my phone? cuz this dialer dissables that when installed on phone.
Thanks in front
Kind regards from Republic of Macedonia.
