I just wanted to offer some information that I have found in trying to install the dialer CABs.

First, the problem some people have been having with "unsuccessful" installation of the CAB. See my new post on that topic here.

I have been working with the 6.1 official HTC and AT&T builds and I can say that the dialer CABs to not properly install on either of these. Or rather, the CAB installs fine, but the dialer shows up like other's have posted that looks very similar to the default dialer (a.k.a no skin).

I have even tried cooking the OEM files posted and have been getting the same results.

First I want to talk about security and signing. I do not believe that any of these issues are related to certificate signing. The OEM Sign 2005 certificate that signed these files is the EXACT same certificate (same thumbprint) that signed the files in these Stock Roms. The OEM sign 2005 certificate is installed on all these devices, and just because it doesn't show in your certificates control panel doesn't mean it isn't on your system. That certificate store is not the proper certificate store for CAB sigining certificates.

For more information see this blog entry.

You can see all the certificates on your device with the Security Configuration Manager from Microsoft.

Also, I question the validity of saying that since one doesn't have a certificate, let's re-sign everything and then use those with another certificate. Wouldn't it be smarter to just install the needed certificate on a system (which is easily retrievable off any of the DLLs)? In any event, as you can see with the security manager, that OEM 2005 cert is the same one that signed all the DLLs in most ROMs and should be installed on every device.

In the cooking of my newer BRR ROMs I stripped both the stock AT&T dialer and HTC dialer from each respective build and was able to transplant them to each-other (i.e. install AT&T dialer on HTC and vice-versa). I found in my work on these that unless ALL the needed DLLs are present you will get results similar to those that I have gotten with this CAB. Namely, some of the colors and icons change, but more or less it still looks un-skinned. The AT&T dialer for instance will appear that way if some of the PTT DLLs aren't included, since those are referenced and help build the complete skin.

When I strip a dialer, just reinstalling the CAB back to the original ROM is not enough to determine that is is complete, since the original CAB will still have any of the other supporting files that were stripped out. It needs to be ported over to a stock build to ensure that all proper files and registry keys were gathered.

I strongly feel that the files being offered here are not the complete set of files needed for the skin to work. I believe it is working on some devices that may have the other needed files (from being cooked or having some other apps installed).

I appreciate the effort being made to port these, but I think the fact that they don't work on either the stock AT&T or HTC builds (after a clean flash) shows that something is missing. Again, I'm not trying to belittle the efforts of those working on this, but hope to enlighten as to why this is problematic for at least half the people trying this out.

thanks.
