i tried the dialer a while back ( by installing his cab) and it doesn't support some CDMA features. It seems as this is for GSM.
You can fix this by installing his dialer first -- go into the /windows directory, and copy all of the png files associated with the dialer -- save them to your computer -- remove the dialer -- and copy the saved png's to your /windows and you should be good..
no loss of functionality but with all of the looks.
I hope the GSM version isn't cooked in the ROM.

You know what else you can add to your this theme to make it a bit better. optional Poorlyduck HTC Home Theme , optional Vista Cube, optional Vista Skin for S2u2, optional Vista Skin Splash screen, and if users use psshutxp optional Vista Skin for that.
Well that is what I did for mine.
Ohh yeah I saw your dialer screenshot on ppc geeks and it shows two call call history things.
If you still haven't been able to remove the annoying one ( the small text ) you can remove it using the registry to eliminate the "call history" text
go to HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin/Dialer/Portrait (Landscape)/verbbutton/
change the following
textflags = 986895 (dec)
Can you provide CDMA compatible vista theme dialer OEM? I have it on my PPC but I just modify the gfx and not use actual dialer, so i can't get graphical effects like the real one can have.
CommManager OEM also, if possible!
OEM's please. nice job
Please A1, OEM's.....

If you guys want the dialer files just install the dialer --- go to the /windows directory -- copy all the dialer files to your computer --- uninstall the dialer since it doesn't function well in cdma --- then copy the dialer files from your computer back to the /windows directory
ill include of set of files for the dialer but I modified it a bit. I made the dialer look like the big button dialer.
Ill include a screen shot.
I want the Vista dialer with the individual button graphics for each number and symbol... lol

Hello, I was wondering if someone, maybe dcd himself , could explain to me why the Vogue dialer from his kitchen does not have different graphic files for each button and each action (up/down)?
I'm trying to use the skins from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372098
I've currently put the numbers on the background image but I can't use the pressed animations.
These skins suppossedly work on the Touch (which IIRC is the Vogue) and someone in that thread even said they work on the Mogul. Should I have chosen the titan335 dialer in the kitchen?
Thanks ... and as always props to dcd and company for his work.
Not sure if this will work for you but when I run the kitchen I DO NOT select any dialer. This will install the standard WM6 dialer then I install the cab for the dialer I want after the phone is up and running. I made a custom dialer to match my matrix theme and never took the time to OEM it. Works fine when I do it that way. To be honest though I'm not sure about the animations you are speaking of.
Thanks for the reply. The animations I'm speaking of are the different images for a button pressed and not pressed. lllboredlll what optionsdid you choose when you compiled your carrier images in dcd's 3.01 thread? I tried your Verizon one too and it didn't work. Thanks.

He is essentially using an alternative. It doesn't seem as he is using the original TOUCH dialer because it might conflict with some Mogul / 6800 operations and is using an alternative.
Search for Mogul Big Button Dialer. This is closer to the dialer that he uses in his ROM's.
It essentially looks like the Touch dialer but you cannot assign skins to the keys when they are pressed. But you can skin the entire dialer.
You are free to install a true Touch Dialer or even the CAB that is called WizardRetouched. These are all alternatives, but conflict with some features on your 6800.
check out this post for more info on the Mogul Big Button Dialer " post 8"

All those had the vogue dialer.
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!

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.

1. Disable touch flo to disable-go to Settings select today, select items/ and uncheck touch flo
2. Unzip the files on your desktop computer and Drag the unzipped folder of files you want to copy from your desktop to your active sync windows mobile device center
3 Open the program "total commander" (it is a free program) to move all manila files into the Windows folder. like this: Highlight all of the files with the Total Commander program and press the stylus down on the highlighted files until you see the drop down menu. select "copy/move"
4. Next slect Tree-and then double click on the "windows" folder
select copy or selct move
5. choose to overwrite the files if asked
6. restart touch flo.
Manila files do not have to be removed prior. The Manila files are amazing in function. If you delete them accidentally-they are burned into the rom so when the phone is restarted they will come back. Also if you have have the program Diamond tf3d configuration you can restore your computer to default.
i always use total commander to copy my originals. It is tedious, but I like to hang onto them.
worked perfectly .... good lookin homie... the theme is real nice in every way esp. with the details...

I will post my edited files here. You can try to install them with total commander. Always disable touch flo first. and remember...if you don't like it just delete the files and restart the phone. The original files will automatically be replaced. That is the beauty of Manila!

2 option for select app
1. choose from list (only select .exe file)
2. manual input (any file with full path eg. \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk , but keep in mind you need start by "\")
fix the problem about update icon (i hope )

where to download please?
I'd like to try it, where can I download it??
No download link
download link
sorry, forgot to upload the file
pls check 1st post
it is working on wqvga, confirmed. But a suggestion would be that it can load .lnk too, not just .exe because activesync for example needs to call /remote as an additional parameter to repllog.exe to start in window and not just as a process
EDIT: until then everybody who wants to use activesync in claunch just go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CLaunch\Page that activesync is supposed to be\ and edit ACTIONURL with this string ':MSSYNCAPP' with no quotes
EDIT2: bug report: it seems that it doesn't refresh icons after the first choice. For example i had resco explorer on page1 and activesync on page2 but i decided to switch places for them and now resco has activesync icon and activesync resco's. That wouldn't be weird if i didn't manually chose new icons for each page but they just stay the same. Only after i edited registry and on page1 as an icon put App2 and vice versa it switched them but that shouldn't be like that so I am searching for the problem a little further. If chris doesn't do it first, ofc
LAST EDIT, i promise here are 6 fixed scripts. They have a delay when changing icon, but at least they work now
guess i lied, another edit, scripts now refresh themselves, no delay
Nice app... This was the exact launcher I was looking for.
I have an elfin (qvga) with dsixda's latest 6.5 beta rom and so far its working perfectly (I only tried to add apps and assign icons to them)
the only thing I noticed so far is that if you install it in your storage card you are not able to add any apps to it later (you get an error msg with a countdown button, don't remember the msg now).
great job..

Black Rhodium 3G Dialer for VGA devices
Update: New signed cab to resolve issues with certificate store and thus execution problems
First of all thanks to amarullz for initially porting the Rhodium dialer to VGA - well almost - as it requires the phcanvga.exe for resizing the dialer screens on the fly which sometimes requires killing cprog.exe and phcanvga.exe with restarting it afterwards to get the sizing correct. Nevertheless on his initial work this cab is based.
Basically what I did was the following:
1. Changed all phone and call log graphics to a nice black/dark color.
2. Added German translation files for the dialer.
3. And most important: Fixed the issue that all newer dialers at the moment have when switching to black, namely changing in call screen text for name and number to white. (This was actually the hardest and most time consuming as it required disassembling and understanding phcanhtc.dll. At the end this took me quite a week or so .)
Okay, and now here's the cab for installing (at least on the Touch Pro with Manila 2.1 installed as this was the device I could test it on).
Here's the english language add-on pack for the dialer as requested
For installation you might have to kill the cprog.exe and eventually the phcanvga.exe process(es) beforehand as otherwise the cab installation routine might not be able to overwrite several files. (I'm not sure about this as I did not really test this).
Pictures of it below!
Anyone who likes the work may feel free to donate a little.

As the dialer is not really ported to VGA as mentioned above but resized on-the-fly you might be successful in using it when deleting the phcanvga.lnk from \windows\startup folder and killing the phcanvga.exe process or soft resetting.
Without a running phcanvga.exe the size should be correct for WVGA - I encourage you to try it and give feedback here if it worked.

1. Yes, I know, since I made the cab for the Touch Pro, I included phcanOverbmp with added battery level icons. If you don't like it just delete/overwrite the phcanOverbmp.dll in \windows.
2. Uptop? I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by that (I even don't exactly know what the word means and my dictionary doesn't list it ). Concerning the scroll bars: phcanvga.exe is definitely not running? Well, then it seems as if it does not work for WVGA. If you are familiar with replacing single (locked) files in the \windows folder and making registry entries you could try the following:
- First uninstall the cab and reset to get back to your original dialer.
- Extract the contents of the cab to a folder.
- Then only replace/copy phcanImages.dll and all the *.bmp and *.png files from the extracted cab in/to the \windows folder. (You could start by only replacing phcanImages.dll and the graphics beginning with Dialer_ and Assets_, this should suffice for a test.
- Change the following registry entries under HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE to 0x00ffffff: CallStateRGB,CallerNameRGB, CallerNumberRGB, textForegroundColor.
- Change HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\backgroundColor to 0x0.
This could give you the desired black dialer skin. But note that if this works the problem you have with the cab is caused by phcanhtc.dll and thus this solution will not give you white in call screen text as this requires modification of the said DLL.

Get a taskmanager (e.g. fdcsoft taskmanager, which is free and imho very good), look for the two processes and kill them. (phcanvga.exe can also be killed most times by executing it again, though)
Just curious: Did you try installing without killing them and it did not work?
