From the first day i got my KAISER (HTC TyNN II) i had this issue with long contact names. Here is a print screen of what i am talking about:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The call status screen (the screen you see when you are involved in a conversation with someone or while waiting for a call to be established) seems to be designed for short names only. I saw this problem with standard windows dialer, diamond lookalike dialer (L26 ROM) and now with HyperDragon III OPAL ROM.
Over 50% of my contacts have long names so it is really frustrating for me not being able to see the whole contact name.
I managed to binary edit the phcanrc.dll shipped with L26_KaiserDiamond_V9 build (diamond lookalike dialer) and increase the contact info custom control width for the call status dialog and i was happy about that.
I installed HyperDragon III OPAL the last night and the overall impression was good, but then i got into the same problem: the call status window hasn't got enough space to display long contact names. I tried to binary edit phcanrc.dll shipped with HyperDragon ROM, but those dialog resources are a big mess, impossible to edit (i'm guessing they do a lot of runtime control adjustment).
My real question is: does anyone have any idea how to change that dialog in order to get more contact name space? I saw that they have a lot of registry keys related to the phone dialogs, and you can change the font name/size for the buttons (END CALL button, for example), but i didn't find any registry key that would allow me to make the font size smaller or (better) make the whole control bigger (maybe move it above contact picture and make it equal to screen width).
Try using HTC_KAIS_PHONE_CANVAS_1_50_30437_0_888 from eOS extended pack. You can find it here.

Well, i don't have long contact names, so i don't have this problem. I thought that this dialer wouldn't cut long names because it has small font and enough space even when contact picture is available.
However, I don't see this as major problem because:
1) when you call someone, you know who are you calling because you selected it from your contacts
2) when someone calls you, you can use something like caller ID from S2U2 which shows long names (I can't test it right now, but as I can remember it works fine).
Sorry if this is not helpful.
Hi "Ellinara" you must use AthineOS ME or v2.2

EDIT: Seemed to have screwed up BBCode on this post while trying to edit :S
see new post below!
I've been looking for along time for a very simple plugin, but it doesn’t seem to have been made. I have considered writing it myself, but looking at articles it seems the programming experience I have (developing web applications) is largely irrelevant
The closest plugin I have found to do what I want is called PhoneToday (see below)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The plugin I’d really like is as such:
The left hand icon is of a little phone (like PhoneToday) and on the right of the icon is the Operator Name and nothing else. Tapping this line does nothing.
On the second line on the left is the e-mail icon from messaging app (Is it possible to have two icons for one today plugin?) which says SMS: x/y (where x is unread messages and y is the total in the inbox and subfolders – the total bit is important) tapping this line should open the SMS inbox. The text would be bold if there was a new message.
Below that line (with no left hand icon) it would say ‘No missed calls’ if there had been no missed calls and X missed calls if there had. The text would be bold if there had been a missed call. Tapping this line should open the call log.
The above would just be perfect…as I have a *very* busy schedule and love being able to see it all on one page – which requires my today screen to be pretty empty!
If anyone was feeling the need to extend the plug-in it would also be really good if you could choose to add extra lines for each different mailbox (MMS, IMAP, Exchange/ActiveSync) and maybe add some options for changing fonts/icons…I dunno!
I would be really made up if anyone (apart from JGUI – you have caused me to hard reset twice now…I don’t like you) would be able to make a nice simple plugin like this or knows of one I’ve missed.
Thanks *very* much
Hello community!
I would like to know if someone else has experienced what I am right now with my AT&T Tilt running on Dutty's DualTouch v4 ROM. No complains with the rom whatosever, just a little issue that has been bugging me ever since.
As we all know the HTC dialer that comes with this rom is a cool feature, however, it lacks the old WM6 dialer menu's functionality by not having a Send/Receive or End "soft" keys on your touch screens. I've been reading several threads but unfortunately I haven't found any fix for this. One thread said that by switching to WM6 default dialer using Advanced tools / Kaiser Tweak would do the trick, but after doing this followed by a soft reset I still have the same "Incoming call" display which lacks the Receive / End touch keys.
Any one else had this problem as well? and if so, I am very curious as to how to get this little issue fixed.
Any input will be greatly appreciated... thanks!
Just an update to this situation... I just reflashed my Tilt to Dutty v4 and that didn't solve the issue.
Incoming calls not having soft "Accept / Receive" or "End" keys. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
I've attached a screenshot to better illustrate my problem.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, I only have 2 very small buttons on each side of the screen for Answering / Ignoring a call. These buttons are really small and hard to hit with your fingers. Before, I used to have the big Accept / Ignore buttons from the WM6 dialer.
I will get the same incoming call menu with either HTC or WM6 dialers.
I went to REGEDIT and edited the "Enabled" string located in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin and set it to "0", thus disableing the HTC dialer.
I also noticed there's an entry called "ext" thats pointing to \windows\phcanhtc.dll
Maybe I need to have this entry pointing to a WM6 incoming call dll?
Any input will be appreciated.
Suggest u to use third party apps like:
S2U2 (free),
Innesoft Addressbook,
Pocket contacts pro
These will give u the desired touch buttons on screen...and they are good sized too!
hope this helps...
I founf this dialer and to me, its perfect... I wish you could change the background, but oh well... to install, run the cab on your device and soft reset

Which device is this for then?
Unfortunately this is for Wisebar Advance. It's not a MOD for the default dialer.
Works Great!
I installed the .cab. Works Great. I don't have Wisebar. Its cool.
I like it -- I Love it --- I want some more of it.
Thanks!
Cool Beans gonna test it.
It installed no problem on my HTC Touch. Remember do a soft reset after you install the .cab file.
Really nice Dial Pad:
Pros:
- Nice looking.
- Slightly bigger digit keys compared to the default dialer
- When a call is in progress the END key is nice and big. I like that!
- When in a call the Mute, Contacts, Hold Call, Mic Mute, Speaker ON and Notes are a lot bigger compared to the default dialer
Cons:
- No SmartDial
- The Incoming phone number and name of the person are still small. I wish developers would realize, I'd rather have the persons' name / phone number showing up in big font, rather than the "Incoming Call..." in big font. I'm using S2U2 to get a bigger Name and Phone number, but I'd rather have 1 app that included this.
- There's a shimmering effect (a la Vista theme) that goes from the top right of the screen through the 6, 9 and 0 digits. I wish you could get rid of this, I haven't found a way to do it. It's a minor gripe.

hmmm... idk if that is true or not... i havent tried it without it... im pretty sure it works either way
I like 99.9% of the current TouchFLO setup, but the messaging is awful.
Is there a registry key I can hack to disable the frontend for SMS, so when I click a message on the home screen, it goes directly to that message in the stock WM app?
which touchflo is this?
It says version 3.0 (build 31807).
The thing I want to disable is this screen when I choose an individual message from the home screen. I'd like it to jump to that conversation in the WM stock client like it did in earlier versions of TouchFLO (like what the Fuze has stock).

I would like to disable it...
i dont want to disable it, but i would like to limit the number of sms it shows.... it work well on most of the contact, but when i want to see the sms from one of my friend take a lot of time to open....
is possible to limit the message to 5 or 10?
thanks!

Hi there
i also would like to have the old threaded style, like the one available on htc hd for example. What i don't like about the new one is that i can't select text or phone the a number included in the message body. I receive several messages like this " Please phone John 078 17......1 for laptop sreen replacement." On the HTC hd i would just click on the number and i would have the option to either call or save the number.
Also the new version lacks a bit of performance to load the conversation.
I have been searching for days and i couldn't find any existent solution. I believe there will no be registry key to be changed, and therefore will be necessary changing code in the tf3d. I wouldn't mind trying myself, but so far i couldn't find also a step by step to change the code.
Kind regards

Is there any way to manipulate the in-call screen? It puts up this tiny little picture and the rest is this weird blue/gray nothing. It seems as if it would be much better to have the picture much bigger, or include some additional contact information, or just better utilize the space.
Anybody know how to mod this?
Contact picture on incoming call
I found an answer here:
Samsung SGH-i200 - FAQ - 4PDA
Is it possible to increase the contact picture on incoming call by regular means, ie no extra software?

If you disable Samsung-style dialer the photo caller is displayed on the screen size.

In Registry change:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin: Enabled to 0

Our try "PHOTO CONTACTS PRO WM Smartphone Edition".
Thanks.
But, it doesn't seem to change anything. The phone still looks the same with incoming our outgoing calls.
Is there a template or something that I need to change? Is there a "skin" file that I can tweak?
Does anybody know what the .cpr file is for the in-call screen? That's all I'm looking for, and I'm striking out.
if i remember right its extcall.dll, dialog "MS_PHONE_CONTACTPICTURE" i've made some small attempts in the past but wasn't to driven to try to make it work. hopes this helps you.
or... you can give this a try, i can't tell you if it'll work for you or not.

Thanks.
It is a lot more complex than I thought. I've never edited .dll's before... and spending the last day or so trying to get it to work isn't taking me very far.
I might keep trying, but I think I need some assistance. Feel like a bull in a china shop right now, just feeling my way through and not very successfully.
