I flashed to dutty's custom Tilt ROM, but would like to change the dialer to one that has a 'contacts' button on it...is it possible to change dialers without reflashing, and if so, where are some good dialers to be found?
If it's just a skinning issue, did you try to see the following key to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\phone\skin]
Enabled=0
Its already set to 0....how would I get the default skin back?
... so that's the opposite : what about try with Enabled = 1 ?
(and rebooting)
Basically, is there a cab file out there that will install a different dialer skin?
Try this site http://www.zombienexus.net ,you'll find lots of dialer skins.

Hi, I need some help here:
I have tried extracting tapres.dll from several WM6 releases.
However, they never seem to be correctly rebuild after dumping the ROMs.
Does anyone know a way to get hold of a Working tapres.dll (from WM6 !!!) ?
I have tried dumping rom's with itsme tools (viewimgfsf, rebuild module etc..), but the resources from the file are VERY strange..
I need this file because I am writing a new program to build dailerskins, But I want to resize the dailerbuttons.
Solved:
Raceit pointed me to the resource file:
tapres.dll.0409.mui
This one needs to be edited!!
Am working on it.
Thanks Raceit !!!
The problem now is in how to make WM6 to use the new tapres2.dll (and MUI file)
edit
Had to write a new dll, but succeeded:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297530
I got this with viewimgfs.exe as well so I'm not sure it will be of any help to you. This is from the Orwells ROM.
Thanks, too bad I got the same results:
There are no dialogs to be edited..
So it's not (yet) possible to have a big button dailer.
I understand this is about the dialer, but for some reason my WM6 dialer wokrs fine, i can change the background and button graphics, however when i am prompted to enter my SIM pin code the number pad has the nasty white background and pink buttons etc... (as if there is no skin).
What .dll controls the dialpad and sim pin pad?! Could i be missing some graphics files?!?

Been a while since I messed with sim-pin pad..
Out of memory I believe that:
The background is created by cmdpad_land.gif cmdpad_port.gif (and square, but this is not used on wizard).
And the buttons are the NmBtnDn_Land.bmp and other nmbtb**etc** bmps.
[ for convenience I attached those ]
thanks sir, i added the graphics to the \windows folder but still no joy (im running on the hermes btw). could my .dll that refers to it have been corrupted?!

It sounds like an image problem. I'd uninstall any dialer skin you have running to get the default stuff back if you can. If that doesn't work try this. It's the same as the-equinoxe posted, but there are a few more files. (No offense the-equinoxe) Just trying to help. This should get all the dialer buttons and images back to normal.
LOL! i REALLY appreciate the help people but still no luck! :s could i have corrupted a .dll or registry value when the ROM was cooked?

Could be, what changes have you performed while cooking the ROM?
Did you edit the grafics for the dailerpad while cooking of afterwards?

I've got same problem. I think that's a sort of TMobile skin and not a file missing problem.

The file you refer to is the smart dialer, and installing it without a skin gives the same result as my sim-pin pad has. but LOL yer it does look like a T-mobile skin. Just install a skin and it will work ok.

Well the first ROM worked fine, the black WM6 dialer and pin-pad looked the same, by copying the files from this post into the windows folder the colours and graphics for both the dialer and pin-pad were changed?!? (as desired)
But after the ROM change the pin-pad is white with no buttons. adding the files again to windows only changes the dialer. :s
AFAIK nothing has been done to the dialer skin, however it may have been changed by accident!? Which is why Im wondering which .dlls and reg values effect these?!
SOLVED
Raceit pointed me to the resource file:
tapres.dll.0409.mui

Thanks Raceit !!!
Could you explain how to fix that skinning problem?

I am testing/working on it @ this moment..
All looks promissing but please be patient, don't want to rush out a release.
Only difference with the eten/paulyA skins is you edit another file, some regkeys are differrent, and the smartdail is build into the same resource.
Will build a test-skin (based on the Eten-grey Light I build for WM5), and do some test.
I will also build my findings in the WM6 dailerskin-builder program I am working on.
This one is still in the early development fase, and not all screens have been skinned.
Status:
-editing NEW resource Had to write my own dll, Done
-Dailer portrait Done
-Dailer landscape Done
-Call in progress portrait In progress
-Call in progress landscape In progress
-Button templates In progress
This program will be WM6 WWE QVGA only, but I will probably add some other languages once those are released.
Attached:
-a screenshot from the skinbuilder (although I am thinking to change the layout, because the troubles I have with switching to landscape and control-placement)..
Clicking on the screen will let you select the background picture
You can choose the buttonset (here used "test" ) with the dropdown menu.
You can change the transparancy of the buttonset with the slider.
And build a cab by clicking a button..
Sorry i didn't wanna bother you. I'll wait. Absolutely no probs...
Still having troubles applying the new tapres.dll
Replacing the XIP based tapres.dll crashes the dailer..
Then I tried to use the tapres.dll (plus MUI) as skin
So I renamed the dll and Mui to tapres2
and edited the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"IcoFil"="tapres2.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"ext"="tapres2.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"RESDLL"="tapres2.dll"
To no avail, still the old tapres.dll takes over
What am I missing??
EDIT:
OK I had to build a new dll.
Started from scratch, but now I have Big Buttons and Smartdailing Working
New thread is here

Classic Reading.
I think MrVanx would also like to see this one back someday.
I even remember myself finding out that there needed to be a phcanXXXETC.dll and a specific registry key to get a skinned unluck screen.
I'm closing the thread, but will never remove this.
Hi all,
I own a Vodafone VDA V (=HTC Vox). I have chosen the Windows standard start page with standard color scheme and standard background.
Everything appears fine, but only the backgound picture of the startmenue (where all the programs and preferences are) is still the "striped" greyish vodafone background.
Any ideas how to change this in the registry and what the name of the standard background picture is to which I then would referr to in the registry?!
TIA
All the standard icons are on the vodafone rom to get them there are 2 ways easy or registry changing
Now if you are really lazy and want to clear all your vodafone icons and change the start menu order then try the following app IBE tweaks ,
choose the image options in the menu
Now change the following for the icons
input phone number up .... windows\ms_mobile.gif , that gets rid of the grey vodafone icon and gives you the smartphone strip
for warnings ect ...
error promt ...windows\yell.gif
warning promt'...windows\yell.gif
information promt ... windows\info.gif
question promt ...windows\ques.gif
earphone volume ...windows\volume.gif
To get rid of the grey smartphone start menu background change start menu option to a photo you own , then choose save , after that go back and delete the startmenu option you just did and it will make the start menu go back to the original windows mobile colours
choose other options/menu startmenu sequence to change the start menu to what you want
The call screen has to be edited with a good reg editor go to ...
HKLM\security\phone\skin\PROGRESS\portrait\other and change the bmpnormal to cprogback.png
then go back and do the same in landscape and you will have the nice jet black calling backround
the application IBE tweaks comes with a 3 day trial so enough time to change your vodafone icons and start up screens if you want that changed as well just the reg needed for the calling screen
http://www.ibegroup.com/viewitem.aspx?ProductID=104
You can also do the above through resco registry ( as i did ) or simular but it takes longer
dont forget when you have finished back up your phone with sprite so if you hard reset it then its quick to get it back to vodafone free mode
problem solved
@wabbit
Can you please give a pointer to the registry keys to edit instead of using the tweak tool? Many thanks!

Yes please, describe how to change above mentioned with registry editor instead of ibe!
TIA
you can simply use the Modaco de-brand tool for free
i used it on my voda french and everything is ok, just bootscreen
HTML:
http://www.modaco.com/SPV-E650-de-Brand-Fix-P-t255845.html
the e650 de brand tool does not work as it adds folders that are not on the vodafone version which has alot of programmes in media which is not on the rom , you can use it but then you need to use a good explorer exe to delete the incorrect icons and folders , using the app i stated which has a 3 day trial ( enough time to change the icons and then delete it as the app is not required anymore )
well, it worked fine for me, it just added a java shortcut that doesn't work...
i'm still searching for a tool to remove ugly 'welcome' and 'good-bye' screens
Getting rid of the Vodafone welcome and good-bye screens would indeed be very nice
Thanks to wabbit - awesome!!
I got an "Access Denied" when I tried to alter my call screen through the registry (using MobileRegistryEditor.exe) but I guess my phone's locked? I need to research that more. Might explain why some other stuff that I've tried doing had little effect
Quick search of the forum later and phone app unlocked and the final bit done. Nice one!!
Sadly my vodafone s710 is being repaired as the joypad fell off as soon as i get it back i will post all the reg keys needed so you can tweak it yourselfs including removing the vodafone startup and shutdown screens
Vodafone screens
Any news for the voda on and off screens ??

Hi Ori,
I dont have the kaiser yet to tell you for sure, but I think this will work for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321605
as long as you install the SDKCERTS.cab should be fine but why would you want to take a step back the dail pad is amazing that comes with the Kaiser

He is using EZdial on his diaer, and it dosent fit on the Kaiser dialer.
hi shay and austinsnyc
thanks for trying to help
shay is right it is not possible to use EZDail on the default dialped.
since the default dialped that comes with the original ROM on the Kaiser is also a SKIN
it is not possible to disable it by editing the registry and install a different skin because the original skin always have preference
i need to find a way to disable the default dialped deeper than only editing the following registry velue :
HLM > Security > Phone > Skin > Enabled to 0 from 1
Ori
someone ?
ideas ?
nobody have a clue for me how can i do it
I'll post here instead of making new thread.
I also want to change my current dial pad on vario III. I already have whats presented in first post and want to have something I had on my wizard with WM6 which looked like this. Any ideas how to change to that dialpad?
very god!!!
Predo
I managed to get this dialpad by mistake !
I tried to use the program "Realvga". It has an option to remove dialpad which I selected, It then gave me this dialpad that you are talking about. Obviously the rest of the programs fatures didnt work. But i find this defualt dialpad to be faster then the default Kaisers pad.
Lemme know if this is what you are after.

spot on my friend! much appreciated! i do agree that without skin it is faster and what's more important for me it is so much more usable!

The registry key posted above by ori_lavee and a soft reset are enough to get back to the original dialpad, which i like better than htc's dialer, but..... 3g video call doesn't work. it's not on the dial pad, it's in the menu, but it doesn't work

yes that is the problem
well not for me as I'm not using video calling but i can imagine it is a serious limitation nevertheless
I was just checking in to see if there was a new dialer perhaps that looks like the one on the touch - like the one in the attached jpg in the first photo?
Thanks
Dutty's newest ROM for the Tilt has almost that exact dialer.
Thank you very much! I don't use speed dial but the person who asked me if I could find one complained that speed dial disn't work afterwards - do you know if I just wasn't doing something right.

If you want to revert to the standard (and nicer IMHO) WM6 dialpad, just edit the following key :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\phone\skin]
Enabled = 0

Thank you, it works. Now I have a DialPAD I like. After custom ROM I got a Touch DialPAD which somehow missing the Speed Dial key pad.
Was the same for me, and I didnt like the blue background for reading the smartdialer's matching entries
Hi,
Can somebody point me to the thread or somehow explain how to replace different style dialers in Tilt (presumably applies to all WM6 devices)?
The problem is that up until recently, roms I installed had this style with smaller dial screen and speed dial that would only show numbers from speed dial list.
Starting with Dutty's DualTouch 1, it changed to this huge screen and speed dial that takes entire screen width and shows my entire address book.
I would like it to be the same as before. I tried installing some 3g skins that worked fine on my 8525, but no luck here - speed dial sticks.
If I choose different view from the menu (like 'call only'), it reverts to entire list once I switch from phone and than go to phone again.
So things I would like to achieve:
1. Replace dialer wit the one that was there before (Dutty's TouchFlo 7 and before)
2. If not possible, make my selection of view 'calls only' stick
3. Make font smaller so it can fit the entire number when scrolling the list.
Thanks

I believe you want this dialer (which is what I remember being in Dutty's 7 and before). Just copy this to your phone and run it (or use ActiveSync to install it from your PC)
thanks. I'll try it with my next install of dual touch (for now I rolled back to 7b final)

Is this a video dialer?
dutty (the genius) and his newest patch obviously used red as a themes throughout the rom. i like the change but i also want options. are the programs or cabs which would allow you to change the red (especially in the dialing screen).
you can overwrite it with a black dailer cab some found here thoughout the forums
like this one...
