To all who have inquired ...

I just installed the program from the first post (E-TEN_M600_Dialer_Skin.zip) and then copied the blue "skin" from the 3rd page (Blue_215_100_0) on my 8125 and all went perfectly. Now allow me to give you the steps I took ...

1. Removed the Zphone Skin Pack skin I had loaded. Soft reset.

2. Copied ALL the BMP and GIF files from the \windows directory to my laptop. (In case I needed to go back)

3. Installed the CAB from the first post (E-TEN_M600_Dialer_Skin)... then copied the files from the blue "skin" on the 3rd page Blue_215_100_0). Soft reset.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lewcamino:
Sounds about right. If you still have different icons on call history and so forth, it must be a tmobo add on. It is probably in the EXT rom. So you can avoid it next time u hard reset. Also I am sure even with the add on that there must be a way to change the images. Look in the windows directory for the NEW icons from tmobo and see if you can just rename the ones I included. I think I have a tmobo EXT rom laying about, I will see if I can sort out the answer for ya.

I will also make you a lime green skin that will all match :wink:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] spoonter:
U little legend Lew!! I'd greatly appreciate history and speed dial icons to match the lime dialler.

I did a search of my windows folder and checked every single bmp and gif and none of them are the dodgy t-mobile ones! So I've got no idea what they are called or where they are located. So you offer to investigate would be extremely helpful.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lewcamino:
Alright spoonter. The tmobo ext rom I have did not change the call history icons on my emulator. That mean I cant find the files for you. Step 2!

You can copy every single image file from the "\windows\" folder, zip them up, and send em over. I will have a look. Also you may need to check some other directories. Like program files for instance. I do know someone in that has a MDA but I dont know if I will be able to snag his phone long enough to figure it out.

I will try though. In the mean time maybe you should expand your search to include just about everywhere on the phone :shock: and send me that zip if you can.

Here goes my first "not made to match official windows mobile theme" skin. I will start by saying it is VERY obnoxious, and LOUD! (bright)

That being said, I still like it. Its not really my color so I probably wont use it. hope someone else enjoys it though :D It matches the "Magic_Forest" theme quite well.

This is my "please don't hit me while I'm riding my bike at night" lime green skin, Lime for short.

Hope you like it; Lew

Hello, Does anybody have the Grey one working?

I've downloaded the file from the first page but it installs the Orange Skin but the downloaded file includes a folder which has images of the grey theme but is there any cab file for the grey theme?

Keep up the good work

Should have backed up!

Hi Guys,

this post has been really incitful and i've enjoyed getting the grey dialer working on my wizard. So thanks to all of you.

One thing though, i overwrote all of my original (Microsoft) dialer bpm files (the ones in the Windows dir). I was wondering if anyone had a copy of them? I love the grey dialer so i will probably stick with it.

Its more so i know i can change back if and when i want to... KNow what i mean?

Many thanks in advance! :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lewcamino:
@wr@ith

You should have just overwritten the bmp files for the ETEN dialer. So when u want your old phone back you just go to add/remove programs and remove the ETEN dialer. After that your original phone will be back, if its not I can probably go through and get the default images. Plus a hard reset ALWAYS fixes this.

@DocteurN

i dont have this problem but a few people have reported it. I HAVE to assume it has something to do with caching images. Did you use the reg tweak that caches more? I am really just making educated guesses here. I cant seam to reproduce the problem. Is there anything more you can tell me that can help me reproduce the problem?

Dear lewcamino

Thank you very much for the useful dialer skin.

I just have a question. Since i never use the symbol # or * in the dialpad so i would like to replace them with the <- and the talk button.

Below is the sample

Can you do that?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lewcamino:
Well yes and no. I think it can be done by hackin away @ the Etenphone.dll (or whatever its called) but I can't do it. I could probably learn but I really don't have the time. If anything changes I will hax that for ya.

Later; Lew
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nmt1978:
Dear Lew

Many thanks for your attention. Please do it at your free time. I think there is few of us using the button # or button * while most of us often have to erase the number we wrongly type and it would be most convienient if the button call is near the bottom of dialpad

blue dialer skin

I installed the blue skin dialer on my T-Mobile (NL) PDA vario and it works great.

Can some one explain why the message says :

"oproep b...." instead of "oproep beeindigd" and even better how to change it. This counts for all messages.

Answer can be in dutch.

Thanks Tieme

Great App !!

Just one thing.

Is there anyway of changing the action of the Contact button (right soft key).

I currently have PI installed and dont want the contacts list from PI to be displayed when i hit Contacts. I want the original version (as when you dont have any default PIM installed).

I have done a registry hack on the right softkey to overide it when in the homescreen (on key 113), but need to do similar for the app.

Can it be done ???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Joost39:
Nice skin, but can "anyone" make it into a CAB-file - so I can uninstall easy...THX. Dont know how to :0)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] risidoro:
I have the very same problem and i'v found this so far:

- it is not related with caching as someone said

- i'm quite sure it is related with ROM language since:

--- if you edit the file resphone.dll in reshacker you see that every dialog in it has this header: "LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US

"

Now i'm trying to change that header to "LANGUAGE LANG_ITALIAN" or, maybe "LANGUAGE LANG_ITALIANO" to see if it works.

I'd really like, though, if you could explain me how can i save a .mui file from reshacker. I know i need a .mui file to copy it to \windows folder in my wizard but don't know how to create one.

Also, in reshacker it's possible to change (translate) the strings "Talk" "End" and so on...

Wish me luck!

Where did you find the file resphone.dll? It's not on my phone and not in the skin_install_packages in this topic? In the Install .cab files in this topic i did find the file: EtPhone.dll? This file includes also the dialog-headers you mentioned.

What you could try (maybe) is to download (trial) WinCE Cab Manager 2.0 from http://www.ocpsoftware.com/. You then can edit .cab files. So you can extract whatever .dll file you want from the .cab file, edit it in ResourceHacker, en then compile the Cab file with the changed dll file in it. Then install the renewed .cab file on your device. Maybe that will work?

Grey Skin not working on M500?

Having installed the E-TEN_M600_Dialer_Skin & copied the Grey BMP's in to Windows on my M500 (Magician) the new symbols appear in the Call History list but it still uses the old Speed Dialer screen.

Can I disable/uninstall the Speed Dialler? or is there another fix?

My M500 is:

Operator Version: 6.06.1.175

ROM version: 6.06.00 WWE

ROM date: 01/06/05

Radio Version: 1337.39

ExtROM version: 106.175 WWE

Ok, my fault: the file i was referring to was EtPhone.dll and not resphone.dll

Problems are:

- i cannot modify the dll with resource hacker. I've read somewhere that i need to create a .MUI file and to copy it in windows folder together with the original .dll

- some strings are not translatable since they're images: for example the 'Talk' button image. To translated the program i should recreate the bitmaps

I'm not using this dialer anymore (i really hate the talk/End bug). I hope someone will find a solution (the language is not my problem, just the bug).

Eten Dialer Interrupting Phone Radio???

LewCamino... first off, your work is great.. I love the skins, but I ran into a problem.... the Eten Dialer seems to turn off my phone radio when the device hasnt been used for a few hours. I wont get incoming calls, and when I wake up the device, the radio turns back on and looks for reception. Of course, I dont get txt or vm during this "sleep" time. When I uninstalled the dialer, everything seems OK. Any clues? Perhaps a registry hack to cure the problem? Let me know!

Been using the blue version for a while and it works much better than the original. One issue ... you people must not have the fat fingers that I do. The original dialer was almost unusable. The new one is much better. Can we get an "almost" full screen skin with the keypad? Where can I get information to create the skin myself?

Thanks all!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mr_skot:
I've been using the orange dialer and love it. I've also read some posts about the size of the contact picture being too small.

In poking around with the active windows when the skin is showing the caller ID information there is an active open window holding the contact picture named:

MS_PHONE_CONTACTPICTURE(xx,xx,xx,xx)

where the xx's are the dimensions of the picture in the skin. In landscape mode the dimensions showing for my phone are (223,65,317,136).

Isn't there some way to change the pixel size of the function to make the picture bigger?

Thanks for all your hard work in creating these skins and keeping us informed of updates.

I've just installed the newer version of your original colour Classic skin and noticed the following:

Note here where you've removed the tab at the top, you also raised the highlight with it and so it no longer falls on the arrow...

...and so PcvDialerErase.bmp and PcvDialerErase_At.bmp need updating with the highlight removed.

At least you over looked them in your rather pretty VISTA theme. I made those 2 match your theme but will not post them without your permission :wink:

OK.. I'm going to try to hit everything here..

First, The Vista Skin now displays correctly with "Talk" being the default button on the dialer screen.. Just a mix-up I had on the Vista and Classic dialer skins. Thank you for the compliment and I'm glad you are enjoying it. Vista is the one I'm currently using..

The "on hold bar" is something I never skinned because I could not get it to pop up on my screen and didn't really know its function.. I still dont know where that image resides in the screen, so if you could post a screenshot of it in action that would help me out a lot.

Let me know which skin you are using the most and I'll start there.

I have just recently updated all the Classic skins with the correct arrow image, so it should now look a bit more refined.. I think all the issues with the Classic skin have been ironed out and it should be ok to work on all QVGA ppcs..

I have also removed the "Thumbs.db" file from all the skins so you dont have to worry about putting that useless file in your Windows folder.

I love the feedback.. It helps me get all these issues corrected, so please continue to let me know..

I also wanted to let everyone know that I have a few new designs in the works, so if you have any requests, shoot me an email and share your ideas..

I'm not sure why you are still seeing the "End" button.. I just downloaded the cab off the site, extracted the files, and everything looks correct.. The Eten dialer app should not be pulling the "End" buttons for any reasons.. Try this.. I know that on some occasions people have tried to download updated files from my site but continue getting the old file from their browser's cache.. If you want, you can try emptying your browser's cache and then redownloading, and if it still does not work, try downloading the zip file and manually dropping the files in your Windows folder..
