Firstable sorry for the delay, Ive been busy doing other things. This HTC dialer skin made from HTC OEM pack you can find it in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=344533, its very simple skin inspired by diamond, I know there is to many dialer skins but most of them has bugs or speed dial not working so I went ahead and skinned the HTC OEM dialer like I did with my vista skin, This is a not a program that I created myself, this the original HTC Dialer skinned, I did some registry editing to get the icons show in the progress and also changing the colors of the text and selection, so please dont be asking me question concerning the program itself becaue I did not make it, Im just a skinner, if you have any issue concerning the HTC dialer not working in your device, put your question in the thread mentioned above. anything about the graphics Im ready to answer your questions.

If you like what I do, Click in Donate Button in my signature to buy me a drink, thanx.

Update 7/27/05

- New HTC dialer CAB with END/TALK fixed, now are separate buttons thanx to superflysocal for the heads up. (poorlyduck Diamond Dialer.cab)

- Added Call History Icons thanx to akadonny for the Tip.

- Made new cab for Mogul (Titan users) using BlueFrog Big buttons dialer Template. (poorlyduck Titan Diamond Dialer.cab)

- Made a black Dialer skin, Remember, this skin is from HTC OEM dialer linked above, means if the HTC dilaer works for u, then this will with no problems.

Not To do list:

- 3G Dialer with video call as I dont have a 3G device, I looked in the original graphic files and its totally different, So Im skipping this one, sorry guys.

- VGA Version of this dialer as I dont own VGA device to test.

Great news!!

Thank you!, nice work... looking forward for the final version.

Have you checked all the text color entries in

HKLM -- Security--Phone--Skin

I was able to change mine to all white.

What are your registry entries?
[Windows Mobile Themes] poorlyduck:
maybe urs is CDMA version and its different, if you can download the HTC oem one and open he registry file, then hopefully you can find out which one I should I change,I did already checked all the registry files and I was able to change the smartdialing colors but not the one shown in the image below. also I just noticed the letters MNE need to be changed to MNO, typing mistake. I appreciate any help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
Yes I have a CDMA version. I found the HTC Dialer ZIP on the link you posted. I s that the one you are using? Or is it another one?

UPDATE

I just checked the registry entries from the HTC Dialer and it's missing a lot of registry entries that would allow you to customize the dialer extensively.

What you could do is use the Mogul Big Button Dialer (CDMA) and just change the registry entries and XML to install the rest of the necessary images to work with GSM / Touch "Vouge" phones too.

Or just copy the registry entries from the Mogul Big Button dialer into the HTC Dialer.

I would do the first suggestion, just because it would allow CDMA users to use your dialer, or you might have to make a separate one if you chose to.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dr.Mazika:
will this contain smart dial,redial and big contact picture
[Windows Mobile Themes] poorlyduck:
if u used the HTC dialer before, this is exactly what it is, its just different skin, it does have redial, smartdialing.
[Windows Mobile Themes] poorlyduck:
yes I noticed that, but I already add some regitry from cdma version, to be able to change some colors, in progress mode and smartdialing but Im still trying to figure out what registry entry allows the connected text to be changed.

I would do the first suggestion, just because it would allow CDMA users to use your dialer, or you might have to make a separate one if you chose to.
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
I just tried it on my XV6800 with the "Mogul Big Button Dialer"

I changed two things and it changed the entire Text in the Screen and the digits when you dial.

HKLM -- Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--Text TextColor=

HKLM --Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--VerbButton textColor=

I changed mine both to a decimal value of 16777215 "White"

so you can probably do this for both and have the text white like how you intended.

The registry entries are case sentative. Especially between "TextColor" and "textColor"

UPDATE

I posted a sample REG Key from my phone.

It's inside the ZIP.
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
carlos,

even if the touch stock doesn't have a key that changes that color, if we can find out what the key is, you can just add the key on the touch and it "should" work as well. can you export the keys to a reg file and post it and we will dissect and figure out what key it is.
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
I posted the entries that changed the color for me. I exported a the REG Keys from my dialer, it's on my previous post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] poorlyduck:
hi carlos, thank you for your help, I alreadyhad the HKLM -- Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--Text TextColor= added before so I went ahead and added the one for Verbbutton wich ffffff Hex which is 16777215 Dec but still no luck, I soft reseted and still. maybe this certain color is hard coded in HTC dialer, have you tried it `in HTC dialer OEM or in bluefrog?
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
I don't use a HTC Dialer. That dialer is meant for GSM / Touch phones.

I use the Mogul Big Button Dialer / Blue Frog Dialer Aka New Touch and it works.

The custom dialers that me and superflysocal created are products of Blue Frog Dialer and this Registry entries work on it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] poorlyduck:
I have CDMA Sprint as well as you and I own Mogul. The only down part about the blue frog big button is that it doesnt bring the same functions as the actual dialer, for example mute becomes save and also the pressed icons they're all blank, I know Im missing the ## functions and I never tried 911 but Im not worried about that because I carry always flip phone m610 or lg rumor with it, I added all the registry entrys from bluefrog concerning the the textcolor but none worked, thanx for attempting to help out.
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
No problem, but can't you just add the registry entries from the HTC Dialer to the Flue frog dialer to add the extra images (when the button is pressed)?

And also remove the text entries in the progress page and just make dedicated graphics like the ones that me and superflysocal have on our dialers?

just an idea.
[Windows Mobile Themes] poorlyduck:
I think Im gonna try that and see if it will work, if it does then its great news, I had it with the images but when iys connected it shows speaker phone, mute, flash, note, contacts, and end but when the call ends the speaker phone changes to call history and flash changes to hold so if I do that the graphics they should change as well but I dont think its possible. I might seem a pain but im very picky about my skinning, I like everything functional and not just decor lol
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
Well the progress pages seems to be exactly the same as the Touch / HTC Dialer.

So the only changes you will probably make are in the main screen.

I was thinking of doing this in the past, but I got lazy. Especially with other projects and stuff in mind.
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
well if you are picky about that, then what our skins do won't work for you. The graphics doesn't change even if the functions do. But on my sprint touch stock dialer, the only change is speakerphone to call history, and it is something i can live with...never used that function anyway.

On mogul with big button dialer, there are two thinhs that change ...speaker phone to call history and mute to save.
[Windows Mobile Themes] poorlyduck:
to add the new entry's for the new buttons, im thinking of adding them in

HKLM - Security -Phone - Skin - Dialer - Portrait - other DWORD bmpNormal and the value is "\Phoneskin\NmBtn0up_Port.png" for number 0 up and another dword bmpPressed the value "\phoneskin\NmBtn0dn_port.png"

because u already have the bluefrog installed can u try that and see if u can get at least one button pressed in the dialer?
[Windows Mobile Themes] poorlyduck:
yes I do use the call history, sometimes from my dialer, well I dont just release any skin for just releasing something, yeah im very picky. I like to release great quality stuff for this community. my subject was to release this skin with Grey color connected and call ended text but C@rlos stepped up and was willing to help then we brought the bluefrog dialer in the subject and I appreciate that, Ive known bluefrog dialer for a while now but for me its just limited when it comes to skinning and yet very easy, a couple images and here you have new skin which is good, but most of the members here uses GSM phone and skinning the HTC dialer was the way to go for me. I will be releasing one for CDMA but it will be in ppcgeeks where all CDMA users reunited.

thank you for the headsup.
[Windows Mobile Themes] origins81:
Pound for pound one of the best skinners we have around here. Thought the white dialer was good but the black is even better. I know you skinned one earlier, but is there chance to get a comm manager to go with the dialer?

Thnx again
[Windows Mobile Themes] ReYCangri:
Hi Poorlyduck, thanks for this great dialer...but I had a couple of problems trying to uninstall it. I am using the Gullum Diamond ROM...I installed the first dialer then installed the black dialer....now I am not able to uninstall them completely, and when I try to uninstall them..they mess up the look of my dialer that came with the ROM...hope you can help me with this..thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bardia Garsha:
Always Taking & NEVER Giving ???

First off, @ poorlyduck : thanks A LOT for the Talk/End text toggle (and the bonus Black beauty); you're an artist - full stop.

@ users who are addicted to "taking" but are so reluctant of "giving" : So what do you call this ?

Some might think they're real smart: they pop up here for a sec, grab a goody, install it , start using it and ENJOY it . What happens next? Well, they continue poping up here & there & go on grabbing other goodies, using them, ENJOY them and SMILE in victory...

Is this really being "Smart" ? Ask your own honor (if such thing still exist) and I'm sure it tells you that it's actually disgusting.

Some others might say: we don't have much to pay and this is free forum , blah , blah , blah...

But hey, if you didn't have $5 to donate , you wouldn't have a touch device, computer, internet access ...etc. right?

SO , consult your own honor again.

The guy spends countless hours of hardwork at late nights and midnights to bring YOU a goody, to "give" YOU a JOY.

If you really ENJOY it, then prove it to yourself that you're an honorable person. Spare a few bucks to show your appreciation.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Themes] pkley:
Looks nice, is pretty quick, but I'm confused.

You said it's a skin of the HTC dialer, which I was using on my Tilt (DeathV4, disabled the dialer via AdvancedConfig). SmartDial doesn't seem to remember which numbers I call most often, eg Office. Normally after once or twice, I only have to press "o" and Office is at the top of the list.

Also, the stock dialer when a call is complete will show you the last several calls and allow you to scroll using the dpad, also to hide the keypad and see the list of last calls.

Finally, it won't allow me to switch to another number under that contact, eg. I call my wife, she's not home, I used to be able to hang up, press the left/right dpad and scroll thru home, mobile, text, email.

Maybe I was expecting too much? I've avoided skins because normally they're 3G and I don't want 3G... I do love the larger buttons and the overall design!

Problems on CDMA Touch

poorlyduck, this skin is fantastic! I am having a problem on my CDMA Touch, however. When I use the one with just the graphics, it does not display properly. The alignment is off, and the graphics are a bit fuzzy. If I use the regular cab, it looks great, but, of course, I suffer the issues of using that one on a CDMA phone (connection arrows that won't gray out, no ## codes, etc.) I am using an Alltel Touch with the stock Alltel ROM, which did include the Touch dialer, so I'm not sure why the graphics cab is not working properly on my device. Any help would be appreciated, because I would really like to use this skin on my device. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] poorlyduck:
In the original HTC dialer there is no pressed buttons for each button, there is one for talk/end (I will fix in white dialer so you can see the pressed buttons with icons) and one for all the rest, so its impossible to have graphics in the pressed button for the rest, if its bothers you then you need to wait till I release the version with text only and no graphics in the progress, I have to leave the buttons empty and the registry does the rest of the work.

If you are using different ROM rather than Sprint ROM from HTC site, then I think that the problem you couldnt replace the graphics in your dialer, just to make stuff clear, Black or white dialer both works in Titan and Vogue but the only reason I release one for the two, that because people are very concern about The ##codes so what I did I just made a cab for touch to only install the graphics in your /windows directory to replace the original ones that comes in your ROM, I could've just post the graphics and tell you to drag all of them in /windows folder and replace the old ones, but the cab makes it easy so you can uninstall it whenever you would like to go back to the original dialer.

good call, I noticed that when I made the black dialer, with black buttons you can see the numbers fine, I dont know what part of the registry should I lok to change the numbers to black in white dialer, if I can find nothing than Im just gonna have to make that button black.

Unfortunitly that how HTC dialer from OEM pack is, That the reason I linked in the 1st post where the original dialer is so you guys know what it is, that way of people didnt like to use that dialer for its functions then the wouldnt like my dialer either because its just a skin.

Did you uninstall the white one before you install the black? if you didnt then that its might be the problem, I cant really help you with that, cuz I know my dialer is a simple .cab and uninstallable 100%, hopefully someone in gulum ROM thread can help you resolve the problem.

thank you for all the great words and I agree with u, I know this forum if for developing programs, themes, skins and everything to make your PDA looks better, but don't forget those developers spend days and Night to bring you goodies for free when they could be making money somewhere else, I believe alot of developers left this forum because its always asking for more and never give, don't forget that when you donate that motivate them to do more and more for you and also they feel that their work is really appreciated.

did you say you had HTC dialer in your tilt? is it like the one I linked in the 1st post from OEM pack? was it included in uor ROM? if it is then you just need to install the one that says diamond graphics for touch users.cab

thank you for testing it, I remember the same problem happened when I made the vista skin dialer, I had to ask someone for the whole registry and all the graphics files that was in his /windows folder in CDMA touch then I fixed it, I believe CDMA touch has a bit different of graphics. Im gonna have to remove that graphic cab for now till I have some testers CDMA touch.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pkley:
My bad, I assumed I had that dialer but in reality I had something different. I was thinking of the VERY generic HTC dialer you get when you disable the dialer skin. Much smaller buttons, etc...

I tried the DK mod, I just have to figure out if I like your skin better than losing the functionality of being able to try different numbers for the same contact without opening the contact or redialing their name...Sorry to waste your time!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ReYCangri:
Thank you for the reply poorlyduck...and I believe that is the problem because I never uninstalled the white one after i installed the black one. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] abced123:
is there a way to show the history of calls ( showing 3 lines of out/incoming calls and scrollable contact list) instead of just one name at the Last Call screen area ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] caramanis:
Thanks for the reply. I would be glad to test future versions of graphics cab or answer any questions that may help you improve the skin for CDMA.
[Windows Mobile Themes] I[E:
not a problem at all, your work is awesome. i didn't realize there just weren't graphics for those pressed. thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] xboxhaxorz:
now all we need is a diamond blk icontact skin to make the setup complete
[Windows Mobile Themes] timdawgdentist:
I love the look of the black

but I couldn't see it when I was in the sun.. the white is too bright for after dark... I guess the stock is the best for my touch for now.. awesome looking dialer though...

[Windows Mobile Themes] powerintake:

How do you change the call history icons? I installed the cab and everything else is good, but the call history icons stay their same default icons.

the diamond dialer not working for my LG KS 20

Hi poorlyduck

I just want to say thanks, it is a great work,

but I have an issue with this Dialer,

first i'm not able to get the Contact link under the Dialer,

and 2nd when I try to Uninstall it it put all my old Dialer with a white background and this is not what i used to have.

I have an LG KS 20

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] chino331:
I also have the CDMA Touch/Vogue, and I'll be more than happy to test out the graphics cab when released! Thanks for the awesome work :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] xboxhaxorz:
THIS IS THE ONLY THING I WISH IT HAD

when in call it shows the picture in the top middle icon found in several dialers ie; iphone dx5, 3d big etc;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=413646

the last thing, after the call ends the left top icon stays at speakerphone which its supposed to change to call hist

not really a big deal to click keybad and then call hist but perhaps you feel the same way

personally i prefer yours but really want that picture there

[Windows Mobile Themes] Creutz:
The black dialer looks really good but I cannot get it to work on my Herald. I installed the cab and did a soft reset, the result is the default dialer skin with transparent buttons. Any ideas?

Edit: Got it up and running, needed some reg tweaking.
[Windows Mobile Themes] brokin:
awesome dialer. i was looking for a replacement for my old one and stumbled across this one and i love it
[Windows Mobile Themes] xboxhaxorz:
personally i prefer the blk dialer, but the whiet dialer has more detail not sure if you can change that if not its a sacrifice i have to make for the dark and mysterious
[Windows Mobile Themes] keko001:
soo can you tell me iff it works on HTC thuoch daimond 3700

i try butt i get very small screen and is it possebel too only the dailer in black
[Windows Mobile Themes] sadthai:
beautiful work poolyduck. a big fan of your.

btw, on the call status screen, and where the speaker button is, when a ended, the speaker button should turn to "call history" button.

anyone else notice this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] LivinOne:
poorly,

nice skin but can you make the black version easier to see? It is so dark and the numbers are faint making it very hard to see in any lighting situation.

thx
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sean D.:
I agree. It would be even better if the numbers were the same as the Green "Diamond" lettering. And maybe add some color to the back, and call history buttons as well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] caramanis:
Any progress on the CDMA graphics?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mbarvian:
please don't quote the entire post, it's very long ;)

From the first post:

That is why it is small on the Diamonds. Poorlyduck does not have a VGA device to test this skin on so he will not make one.

Hi,just a little bug on my kaiser,contact works but the word doesn't appear ....
[Windows Mobile Themes] smittyofdhs:
poorly,

what is the chance of adding a splash of color to the backgrounds like the original HTC re-touched dialer had?

Blue like the original dialer had would be awesome, and just the image files will work, no need to cab it up.

thanks in advance if you can do this.... love your graphix.

Titan Black Diamond Dialer

I don't know if i'm out of line here, but I put together the black Titan version for all of us who have been waiting. I hope it works for everyone.

Props to Poorlyduck for the graphics!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] earl-ku:
hey hi guys, the dialer looks great but then thing is that, after installing it, and when i removed it, the screen after the dialing where it shows speaker, mute - its gone ...

can i know how to fix this?

when i reinstall this diamond dialer , the screen comes back on ... any idea?

thanks

Donations

I guess at least 100 to 200 people are using (and ENJOYING) Poorlyduck's amazing Diamond Dialer.

But it seems that only one or two people have ever made donations. This is really ugly, isn't it?

I just don't understand what's wrong with us people. Such lack of appreciation will certainly deter our great developers/designers.

When our develpoers/designers see that everybody is saying: "WOW, great wrok ! Beautiful work ! ...etc." but they refuse to buy the designer even a cup of coffee, they will lose heart and will stop providing us with their fantastic works.

I think each single one of you would do the same if you were in Poorlyduck's position, wouldn't you ??
[Windows Mobile Themes] zPacKRat:
Your sir are correct, unfortunately many people see the work of the developers as a free source. And while it is a few bucks here and there it is a nice way to thank someone for their effort.

On that note my broke ass sent you a few bucks for your work. This dialer is the perfect complement to Leos V10 since I have no need for video calling here in the U.S.A., and it has the landscape skin as well.

Thanks for the effort Poorlyduck!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bardia Garsha:
hey bro, this is what i call "A Healthy Human Mind".

i'm sure poorlyduck will really appreciate your donation. as you can see he has almost left the thread , which i have all the reasons to believe that he is disheartened.

send him a pm and let him know .

he's not only a great artist (with an exquisite taste of graphics) but a very good human being as well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] LivinOne:
Poorlyduck,

I really like your skin. I think it is the best out and I think I may have installed about 5 or 6 others!

Can you release a version where the entire background is black and the buttons are white? The all black is hard to see and the all white is ok but the contrast of a black BG would rock!

thanks!
