Dialer tools and modding - General Topics

You know, the ROM of T-Mobile has ugly dialer skin. Even with another skin, The Today screen is indeed changed, but the dialer is still in T-Mobile style. The buttons are little small. Now what can we do?
Have somebody here good tips and advices for changing dialer skin to nice versions? If can, do it freeware / free.
The second option are the commercial dialer tools.

Reg. edits for ex. dialer.bmp

Hi,
i´m looking for regedits to change the bmp´s (backgrounds) in dialermode and contactsmode and other nice edits that makes my phone nicer
I am also looking for ways to change the skin of the dialer and comm manager. I was able to change the homescreen to a nice blue color, but the other two are still green which my wife doesn't like (it's her phone).

Any Way to Change the HTC Green Highlights in SENSE for HD2?

Is there anyway to change the default htc green highlights in the htc sense interface?
i was able to do so under the old tf3d 2.0, but none of those tweaks work on the new sense interface.
if at all possible, i would like to know if anyone has figured out how to change the dialer color (talk button and highlights), the default htc keyboard, the notification bubbles, and the various check boxes throughout the os.
i would love to have a red color or at least an idea of where to start looking.
i have searched all over XDA and pccgeeks and nothing has worked without messing up the phone and requiring a hard reset.
ok thanks!
You could check out tecchan23 work over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624874&highlight=taskbar I have used his work to make mine completely green, but he also produces a red version.
well i appreciate that but those seem to be for titanium not htc sense
there used to be a cab for tf3d...but i've not seen one for sense either...would also like this
Interested in this
for keyboard, look through this thread, there are various cabs for different colours dotted along.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626688
for red notification bubbles, there is a standalone cab somewhere in there:

various htc calendar highlight colours in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636062
thanks for the reply, the calendar one worked great!
but the bubbles one only changed the email notifications, not the text ones.
also, the keyboard cabs only change the color when you press a key, not the abc or t9 mode or the enter key
guess skinning these files are alot harder on sense ui then on old tf3d...

[REQ] Buuf theme for Sense UI

I've checked out the Buuf theme for iPhone lately and I find it very catchy. I'm sorry because I'm not an iPhone fan and I've only come to know of such theme lately. Can anyone here try to make a complete skin out of Buuf icons and buttons? As if overhauling the Sense UI and replacing all the buttons (ie Sense audio buttons, video buttons, camera etc), sliders (main slider, audio slider, messaging slider etc), clock even miscellaneous tabs (ie settings and everthing within). So... what do you think? *sorry... for being kinda nervous. This is my first request post in Themes and Apps for HD2*
I haven´t seen the Buuf theme for WinMo, but for Android...
However, did you check this great theme here? Not that it is the same, but it somehow seems to have that kind of "design"...

Yeah... I've checked it out. I love these cartoon-ish themes like Buuf and Fallout by StarView. I wish there are more like Super Mario, Zelda and stuff like that. Can anyone tell me which software you need to create a theme for Sense UI? Because I really want to learn to create a theme and pack it into a CAB and share it with everyone.

You can actually make your theme with any graphics software which can save in png format (mainly because of the transparency capability).
Once you´ve done your creative work, you can convert your pictures with m9editor, or CFC GUI, and then use cab maker software to create the installer (there are some free apps).
To make things easier for a start, to learn about manila file namings, resolutions etc., I suggest you take any cab of any theme you like, unpack it (with a program like MSCEInf - CAB Analyzer) and see through all the files with CFC GUI - with all this data, you can jump quickly into theme making.
PPC Geeks have the icons
Popdog54 posted all of Paul Davey's art on PPC Geeks (see link).
All of icons are there. I downloaded them and put them on my HTC HD2 storage card and then used an icon changer to change most of the icons.
forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=77485
the Buuf theme is indeed very catchy and would look really good on HD2.
ajt320 has already posted the link to the icons.
I also found Buuf-esque slider icons, made by 12aon. Check the post 5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437405
The slider icons were made for TF3D, so they should be modified to use in Sense 2.5
and there is also Way Out There Transparent Slider here http://ppcmods.com/sliders.html
the style is quite similar to Buuf's
Cheers

advice needed to modify a skin / to bring 2 skins together

hey mates,
i'm currently using a stock 1.48 rom with wm6.5 included. it runs 1921-manila with gtx theme.
to make my hole phone gtx-like, i need of course a wm skin.
there are some out there and they are pretty well, but non of them is really the best for me.
i have one, which i really like, but the scrolling bars are very ugly. i have got another one with nice scrolling bars.
my question is how to "copy" the scrolling bars of theme 1 into theme 2 or just how can i modify a wm6.5 theme?
thanks in advance,

Google's "Phone" app, INVERTED? (white on black)

I am a latecomer to Android 6, as KitKat has been the best for my outdated hardware, until now with the S7 (woohoo!) I've always needed to run custom ROMs because stock Android looks very boring to me. I am a big fan of everything "inverted" so that instead of black text on all white backgrounds. white text on all black backgrounds looks EXCELLET, especially on Samsung's AMOLEDs. Now with Android 6, I am quite pleased with how much I can customize the look, with function baked right in. VERY nice. (Also running Nova Launcher).
That said. I have looked through many of the themes available for Marshmallow, but one part of this OS that is driving me nuts is the ugly phone app--it's a very plain black on white. I've also tried different dialers, but those all launch the stock "phone" app when an actual call is in session, switching from a nice white on black dial-keypad (stock or third-party dialer) (btw, the "phone" app is on the play store, by Google Inc.)
So, does anybody know, first of all, what the deal is with the stock black on white phone app not following a theme's colors? is this a fault of the theme dev or Google's "phone" app?
Secondly, does anybody know if there is a fairly recent phone.apk version that has been modified to invert the colors?
Man! almost every other app I have is white on black, except this phone app!
If you are not sure what I'm talking about, try applying a dark theme and then start a call, and watch your phone app revert to the ugly black on white in-call screen.

That is a nice dialer, indeed, but the in-call phone app is NOT the same thing as a dialer. There are many dialers, but I am asking about the app that a dialer launches when a telephone call is running.
