Titanium Backup (root) can delete, freeze, and of course, backup system and user apps. Make a backup first, and look over the list of system apps, there are a lot there which are google-related. Freezing will do the same as pm disable....... Uninstall will remove it completely. Whether your device is A/B or not will not matter.

The nice thing about TB is you can see the actual (full) filenames of the packages, and any uninstall/freezes are easily reversible. There are probably other (google) notification service-type apps which are giving you the undesired notifications,

Good luck!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] bokkoman:
All these apps can't delete the actual apk in the /products folder.

I guess I'll have to do it manually.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] terlynn4:
Not sure what you mean. Several of these apps do exactly that.

De-bloater Pro (from playstore) deletes the apk from /product (or /vendor, etc.) and moves it to its own folder in /data/adb/modules so that you can restore it later if you so choose (or if you accidentally delete the wrong thing and bootloop).

Debloater (magisk module for terminal) does the same thing. I use it to fully remove several system apps (Netflix, YouTube, YTMusic, etc.) in order to install non-system versions.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] bokkoman:
Well, the apps i tried all failed with an error it could not delete it.

I didn't try that one you mentioned, because you have to pay for it.

So i went and tried the debloater module, and you are right. It did delete it. Thank you!

Let's see if this makes any difference.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] bokkoman:
So far, so good.

I have been receiving notifications from Gmail since i deleted the system app and installed it from Play Store as a regular app

Let's see if this continues working.

Description updated 08 Nov 2008

I stopped using the HTC Diamond dialer after I found out that it uses 10MB of memory (8MB on some improved ROMs like SwiftBL) at all times and is partly responsible for the device's laggy dialer performance.

The default WM dialer is an ugly grey but after finding this thread about QVGA skins I decided to make my own black skin. I'd like to thank the starter of that thread, Raceit, for helping me to get started with the image files and trying to fix them for me. Cheers dude! :)

I don't know how to make CABs yet so here's a zip. (EDIT: CAB available in post #3.) The orange colouring in the screenshots was part of my theme, not part of the skin. :)

To install, first disable the HTC dialer, see post #2 for more details.

If you would like to install the black 3D skin pictured below, the easiest method is to install the CAB provided by mic_888 in post #3. If you plan to use another skin that doesn't have a CAB then I advise installing the CAB anyway, then copying the images files from the ZIP archive into the Windows folder. There are 2 advantages of installing a CAB - firstly so that the image files are unprotected and easier to overwrite and secondly to make uninstallation easier. Just uninstall the CAB to remove whatever skin you are using and revert to standard the standard WM grey skin.

Hint: The Matrix, Flat Black and Sunset skins in this thread feature transparent buttons with different edge colours, feel free to use them with your own backgrounds. It's just a case of replacing the two png images with your own choice of portrait/landscape images :D

EDIT: Matrix and Flat Black skins added, see post #24 - CAB now added!

EDIT: Sunset skin added, see post #29 - CAB now added!

EDIT: Grey/White skin added, see post #71 - CAB now added!

EDIT: Dark TouchFlo skin by nhvoltagenh, see post #74-#75

Please also check out the skins by holdemdogg, starting at post #49!

Edit: More Skins, good ones too...

Information about using the standard WM dialer

The main drawback of the standard WM dialer is that you cannot use it for video calling. Not an issue for me personally.

The advantages are that it saves almost 10MB of memory, even on ROMs with an optimized dialer, and gets rid of that slight lag when making or answering a call when you're not sure if it's actually going to do anything. A further benefit is that the answer and reject keys are much more difficult to press accidentally, removing the need for an additional locking program (Answerkeys Disabler, TouchLockPro, S2U2, etc.)

The HTC dialer can be disabled using DiamondTweak or Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. You must also disable the HTC Volume Control if you wish to be able to adjust the volume in-call. The only working method that I know of is to use this CAB here. :)

Edit: It turns out that disabling the HTC dialer also loses the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. I had a quick google and found this solution. I've tested it and it works fine on my Diamond. File attached below for convenience. :)

Edit 2: The developers of the bluetooth icon app have released a new version that's more compatible with VGA! See below.

Any idea how to undo disable HTC volume control if I plan to go back to default HTC dialer?

Is the cab changing some registry settings?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
No you need to disable the HTC dialer and volume control too. See post #2 for details. I don't know enough about the differences in the sprint but I expect so.

I don't really know what that cab does. Have you tried uninstalling from remove programs then soft-resetting?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
Well done, I'd like to try this!

But, as I use skilty's TF3D Matrix theme with it's skinned dialer, I'd like to request a Matrix WM dialer skin, please. For personal use and to share it in the Matrix Trilogy theme resource thread.

Maybe you want to have a go at it? It would be great if you could design one with 'real' 1234567890 digits. Perhaps from one of the free Matrix fonts.. And it would be bonus if you could design another skin with 'actual' Matrix font digits, like these.

Or maybe you can just use skilty's dialer artwork? I could ask skilty. Anyway, TIA!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZeuBug:
Thanks Davey101! :)

I'm waiting for that since a long time!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
News flash!

The Matrix trilogy ended, lamely, 5 years ago! :p :D

I think it might be easiest to use transparent buttons with a simple green border so that the matrix background image is seen through the buttons. I'll see what I can come up with, unless you'd like to have a go?

I don't know how to change the button font, sorry.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] creeky:
Hi all,

Is anyone able to develope a Dialer skin that increases the numeric button sizes, There is a big bar of space at the top of the dialer that could be used for the other buttons we use, Or can we remove the call history list to increase the buttons?

Dan
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
I'm sure it is possible but that would involve replacing or editing the dialer software, not just the skin. The standard software has a fixed layout and we can replace the images used but not change their size or position.

It might be worth looking around for an alternative dialer...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
Ouch :D

Well, I don't know how to change anything on the WM dialer, so please, try transparent buttons and a simple green border and I'll check it out. Cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
Ok, I'll see what I can do :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] superpc:
can u make one with plain black non glossy button, with white frame(non round edge)? i tried to modify it myself, was only able to change the numpad, but not the "talk" "speed dial" and all the other buttons while dialing
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZeuBug:
An image is better than my english... :D

The problem is inside the red circle:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
I went with a grey border that changes to white when pressed, hope this is ok!

I made a plain black theme then realised afterwards that you wanted a non-round edge! I'll add another one soon!

Edit: CABs now added!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
Are you sure the image sizes are correct? :confused:

Edit: Do any of the other skins work?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] superpc:
:D this would work fine too, round edge is just an option

thanks for spending time on my request!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
Thanks a lot! I'll give it a go and share a link to your handywork.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
No problem!

Note that both of the above designs feature transparent buttons, with only a slight variation in edging colour. There's nothing to stop you using any background image or colour you like!

I think I'm going to stop using the black theme I first posted and go with transparent buttons over a version of my main today screen image. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
As above, here is the new skin I'm currently using, matching my Today background. I have included the full wallpapers too.

It has transparent buttons with black edging - feel free to take the buttons for use with your own backgrounds.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sureloch:
I am having problems uninstalling this dialer, it's there even if I try uninstalling the cab. This dialer seems to be messing with my hardware buttons even if I load oem diamond dialer.

Any Ideas how to get rid of this program????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
Hi,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble! However, these skins consist purely of image files (with no executables or registry changes) and cannot mess with your HW buttons.

Can you be a bit more specific? Which program are you using to disable/enable the HTC dialer? Did you also disable the HTC Volume Control? If so you also need to remove the HallengreeN cab and remember to soft-reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sureloch:
Thanks for responding. I did not disable the volume control. I am using diamond tweak, setting number 1.8. The htc dialer now seems sluggish and the harware buttons are often dead. It seems like there is a software conflict as if both dialers are running.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
You could try using Schaps Advanced Config and then soft-resetting to see if there is any difference. I don't expect there will be but it's surely worth a try.

Other than that, I have no useful ideas, sorry. It sounds like a dialer issue (rather than a skin issue) so it might be best to do a search on that and maybe start a new thread to see if anyone else has had similar problems with switching dialers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Krzysiec:
Can anyone make the same colours dialer like on startup of manila ? Not black but very grey U know what i mean ... i mean this one when U type PIN code.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sureloch:

OK, The hardware keys problem doesn't seem to be from your dialer skin. The problem is related to the power saving features on the phone. I will open a new thread if I need help or if I find a solution. Thanks again.

Minimize ringtone lag by using Default Windows Dialer Skin

Having disabled HTC Dailer Skin and use the default Windows Dialer Skin in addition to this black VGA dailer skin frees 10mb+ memory. The cab file has also disabled the HTC volumn control and makes the default Windows volumn control back to work.

Most important, the ringtone lag can be solved no matter using wave file ringtone or not. The Diamond can wake up and start ringing just after the 1st ring after the caller's calling. It is not a wave file but a mp3 ringtone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] seugene:
I cannot delete two of the files (the two with png extension) from the device because they are marked read only, hidden and system, and I cannot change that. Any suggestions?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
There are a few solutions...

I think the easiest one is to install the cab in post #3. You should then be able to copy other images into the Windows folder, overwriting the ones installed by the cab. Just uninstall the cab to revert to standard.

Edit: Congratulations, BTW. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] seugene:
Installed the CAB from post #3, now even more of the files cannot be replaced (neither of them, I think). And I get the message the cab cannot be removed, and so I am stuck with the dialer skin I do not like.

Hard resetting is not a problem and will return me to the original settings, but I want the phone to start ringing on the first ring, not the third. Any ideas?

This is a CDMA Diamond, by the way.

Thanks for the congrats. Congrats to all you people around the world as well. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
I don't know enough about the CDMA Diamond to know what the differences are... now that the cab is installed, which skin do you have - black or default grey?

Have you tried using ActiveSync on a PC to drop the files into the Windows folder? Lastly, now that the HTC dialer is disabled, is the ring behaving the way you'd like or is it still too delayed?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] seugene:
The skin changed from the original as at the bottom of page 26 here to the one in the attached image. The ring sound does come on sooner now - at the second ring rather than the third before, but ideally I'd like it to come in immediately. And the bigger more finger-friendly dial list on top of the skin was nice as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 4D3:
thanks alot for this ill give it a try now!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
Looks like the installation has been only partly successful for some reason. The image you've posted shows the default grey WM6 dialer, as supplied with the phone, with one difference - just one of the button images (back arrow/call history) has been overwritten with one of my black button images.

The picture in the user manual is of course of the HTC dialer not the WM dialer, which is why it has a different sized list at the top. Did you actually disable the HTC dialer before installing the cab? I don't know what the results would be if you didn't.

Try disabling the HTC dialer (see post #2), doing a soft reset then installing the cab again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] seugene:
I had previously totally missed the part about DiamondTweak and disabling HTC dialer, sorry. Installed it now. "Disabling HTC dialer" is option 1.8 "Phone Pad Style" there, right? Then yes, I set it to "Windows Mobile". Then I reinstalled the cab from post #3, and it seemed to work for the most part - I do have the WM dialer skin with black buttons. The only weird thing that iis happening is shown in the attached image. Any way to change the "Talk" button to "Hold" when in call and to "Conference" when another call is connected?

And last but not least - the phone still starts ringing on the 3rd ring (on the 2nd if the screen is already lit up when the call comes in). I'd like to get the phone to ring sooner.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
Hi,

That talk button shouldn't be there - it's very strange because it should be a black button that says "Hold". The actual text saying "Hold" is provided by the WM dialer, not by the skin. That is, all of the images that make up the skin are unlabelled.

No idea what's gone on there and no idea how to fix it since this is only a skin, sorry. For further assistance on the ringtone delay, please see the multitude of threads on the subject :) Some say that using WAV ringtones helps and others say that disabling the HTC dialer does help too. For me, it helps by removing the extra large answer and reject buttons and reduces general dialer 'lagginess'.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iliescu902:
hey guys great ideea in changing the appearence of this standard wm dialer. i have been using it since i've got my diamond cause it save A LOT of memory and the ringing lag dissapears completely.

since i don't use videocalling, the only thing bothering me is the plain aspect. it would be nice if more visual improvements could be made.

p.s. can the incoming call notification (the white box with answer / reject) be changed in any way ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
What sort of improvements did you have in mind? :)

As far as I know, the incoming call notification uses the same colours as any other notification. You can change the colours by changing your WM theme, either in a theme editor or by using UI Tweaker. The notification background is the same as a normal window background but the notification title bar colours can be set independently.

Very nice, I especially like the gold one! Were they done in PhotoShop and did you have any problems with getting the transparent pinks to work properly?

I notice you've used my black skin as a starting point... I used the original grey skin as my starting point but made the decision to flip the buttons by 180 degrees so that they were bottom-lit rather than top-lit. :)

Do you think maybe top-lit would work better with the gold?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] holdemdogg:
Thank You

Yes I used your skin as a starter I used paint.net The easiest way I found was to use the magic wand and select everything except the transparent pink that way it stayed the same.

I Like the way you flipped them if you post the original gray file for me I''ll try the gold and see what it looks like.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
I don't think I have a copy of the original skin to hand. The easiest way to get one is to uninstall/delete the new skin and then original ROM files will be visible after a soft reset.

Don't worry too much, it was only a suggestion. Keep up the good work! :)

I suppose a TF3D style skin is possible... a grey & black background with the TF3D block pattern, accompanied by rectangular grey keys.

I can't alter the button placement or change the white text unfortunately.

If I get chance this week I may knock something together.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xboxhaxorz:
Button placement isnt a problem. Basically just ya a TF3D diamond style, black would be my choice, but im sure others would want white. Im not sure watcha mean about the text?
