I used PDAVIET 4.0.0.4. and the design was perfect for me.
Because I had problems with charging with USB and WiFi which didn't start each time, I wanted to test other Roms.
First I tested ProphetTouchIX. The TouchFlo And Cube effects worked at the first boot and never worked after that. And it was too slow.
Then, now I'm using Mysterious 1.0. So far so good, but I don't like background.
I'd like to have the same Today/Phone backgrounds and the same Dial phone theme, keypad I had in PDAVIET 4.0.0.4.
I'd like to use TouchKeyboard/Keypad I saw in ProphetTouch IX. It's really great to SMS.
So it's possible to do it?
why not try crystal v4? it has touch keyboard..but im not sure about the theme used in 4.0.0.4...the themes in crystal are default ones..
I saw screenshots and I don't like it.
I found how to restore Touch dial keypad. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225)
I'm still looking for the Touch Keyboard.
Actually, I just want to remove the background picture. I do prefer it with no picture.
I found the HTC default touch theme (*.tsk). But I don't know to put this file to make it appear in the themes menu.
EDIT : I found where I have to put *.tsk. In Windows directory.
for what it's worth...this cab was floating around...i dunno though, you might need to change something to get it working properly. It seems to just appear like the screenshot when installed...
Thank you. I almost removed everything from the Mysterious theme.
I'm gonna try it.
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. Cube Animation

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.
Im alittle new to the mobile device side of things, but i am pretty tech savvy.
I want to know how i can change the color of the very top and bottom bar on my verizon touch pro screen. I have already installed a very groovy black custom theme, but anything below the touch flo bar doesnt change.
I can go into setting>today and change the main theme but i do not have a black one like i want. All that are in the list are default windows mobile themes in blue and green. Currently i have my TP set to the vzw theme and its a very handsome burgundy, but i would really love to see something more black. Like.....Grimm reaper black......darth vader black.......skeletor and such...
Im assuming i need a windows mobile theme and not a touch flo theme to do this, is that correct? if so, could i find one that darth vader would want on his mobile device?
Thanks,
*Darth Grouper*
Aww, it was just a windows mobile theme needed. Darth Vader would be proud...
If you only want to change the colors, and not the themes, get a registry editor.
Browse the phone's registry to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color and change the "BaseHue" value. You can either tool around with different values to see different colors appear with about a 1 second delay.
Protip: 1 = black.
For those of you who are very picky about all the colors of everything on your phone, I've modded a keyboard from the following link to all black/white to match the already Minimalistic and Matte themes being posted. Also, should this keyboard not suit you, there are a few more themes at the same link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717544
In the apk uploaded, I took the black and white keyboard and just removed all the green highlights and replaced them with the color black, so when you press a button it will be completely blacked out so you know which button you're hitting. Full caps blacks out the circle, and shift shows a different arrow. It might be confusing or very easy to understand for you, I just wanted to clarify just in case.
Its not much but it saves you the trouble of having to mod it yourself and from running into problems while trying to resign apks.

Disregard.
