True. But the point is, if you're going to offer freeware, keep it freeware. Don't say it's freeware and make it shareware once it gains popularity.
[Windows Mobile Themes] guevr001:
it's looking good, i think you should add a "themed" watermark somewhere clean to display props to your hard word
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Thanks for all the feedback!

I won't make it payware, that's not my philosophy.

Though I'm still looking for a way to make just a little bit of money with all the work I'm doing and have done so far.

Another thing I've thought about is making it donateware but the problem there is that some people just can't use paypal or realy don't even have a dollar to spare. I don't want zo prohibit certain people from using my software though I want that people who can donate, also give a little donation to show their gratitude.

I mean, all the work I've done here on XDA has cost me a lot of free days/weekends. And sure, I also make them for my own phone but a lot of times I also add features or customize graphics to user needs just because they want it and not because I'll use them. (throttlelauncher weather, landscape dialers, vga dialer when I don't even had a vga phone at the time, etc.)

So in the end my software will remain 'free' but I hope ik can trust the XDA community leechers to give something in return. Or else I might just stop releasing my work on XDA.

Please understand this. It's not a threat, it's a request!

______________________________________________

Now for some onther stuff, I realy like how things are going with the skinnning. Not nearly done but I'm getting there.

I need some screenshots of your devices.

-I need to skin the VideoCalling screen but I don't have the ability to use Videocalling so I need someone to make some screenshots of that. I need as much of the graphics as possible, so also the brightness modifier and other things you can think of. Please make a bmp screenshot with mymobiler and upload it on a different site than xda. (xda will resize it and compress etc, making the quality bad) Please send me a link in a PM so the thread won't get cluttered.

That will be all for now, sorry for this leap of text. :)

looking good pauld and glad to see you back:) hope your health concerns have not got the best of you and good luck going forward.

can i have the cab for HTC Phonecavas with Slide to Answer.am unable to find....plz help soon.i have a qvga device.....
[Windows Mobile Themes] chris1486:
Absolutely brilliant, after searching, testing so many dialers and hard resetting my device a couple of time to remove a few of those dialers i can finally be at peace with this dialer, thanks for this lovely and functional dialer PDG.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
So, anybody know how to save 16bit bmp images in Photoshop with dithering?

24bit is smooth and 16bit is banded, I need dithering but can't seem to figure out where and how.

thanks in advance!

edit-nevermind, found it. Maybe a release today.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
When ported to qvga,will this skin look the same?
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Probably, yes.

Speaking of QVGA, is there anybody with the new slider phonecanvas who can give me all of the images located in the \windows\ folder? No subfolders only \windows root.

Just pack it up in a rar and post it on the net please, I don't have a qvga device on me now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Hurray!

Version 1.0 is released! :rolleyes:

Please read the instructions!
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
I'd happily do that but i don't know which files i should put in the rar.

i have the new canvas from the lolite.

tell me which files.. and you'll have them in a jiffy

btw, i've been using your M2D dialer for a long time.. so having this for QVGA phone canvas would be GREAT :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Just give me all the files that are in there (\Windows\), I don't know wich one I need yet.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
hah. this is the HTC Phone Canvas OEM.. contains all graphics files.

http://rapidshare.com/files/193310936/HTC_PhoneCanvas_3.0_33556.0.zip
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
I am really happy to see that the development for the qvga version of this skin has begun, I will surely donate you as much as I can when I get my pocket money i.e. in a few days.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
How is iolite phone canvas different from the previous versions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
it doesn't have the sliding panel that you have to slide down everytime to see the dialer options.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Ok. Does it also have that "mute ring" below the slide to answer?
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
yup, it does. wonderful dialer really. all it's missing is Pdg's skin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] andrew-in-woking:
All the image files from Windows

Hi pauldgroot

I've tried to copy the images from \Windows. With well over 1000 my WMDC connection keeps failing half way through. I've got to go out now but will try again later.

Thanks

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Themes] CRACING:
WOW, what a wonderfull skin:eek:.

Awaited for qvga......................:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] bonsaiboyz:
ok no doubt an obvious question ... can it be uninstalled ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spupuz:
hi i have an eten x500+ vga.

how can i use this dialer?

where do i took the htc phone canvas cab? and is usable in other phones than ppc?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Can you give me link to its cab file?
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
there isn't a cab file yet.. at least to my knowledge.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Ok. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Hey, PdG what's the status of the qvga skin?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bokechukwu1:
i second the last post awaiting qvga whats the status? this is a beautiful skin
[Windows Mobile Themes] spupuz:
how can install it in a non htc phone where do i found the htc phone canvas?
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
FAQ updated.

As for QVGA, don't expect it today or tomorrow.

Thursday is my birthday so I don't think that will be it.

Maybe friday but I can't promise anything.

____

Any VGA user who have tested the skin and are willing to give me some feedback?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jug6ernaut:
cant right now but will try later and post back :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] jug6ernaut:
Ok im running

PROven 1.14, and cab installed perfectly and fast. After restart phone screen did not want to load when i press call button...so i forced it to call some1...and it came up and looks beautiful. Will report back after i get some good time with it.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Mate,He has got all the files now,they were sent by some other user some time back.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lpsi2000:
This is very nice skin, I installed it and I have a couple of issues. 1. When the phone is ringing, it does not show the phone # 2. When I am looking at the phone diapad, I can't see the call history names or numbers until I move the directional pad up or down to highlight the line. I think it must have something to do with the fact everything looks white on white, however I don't know how to change that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jug6ernaut:
it seems to have a problem loading...but for me once it loads it works good.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
#1, I don't know about that issue, I can hardly believe it's my fault since I only changed the graphics.

#2, Seems like your textcolor is set to white, mine was standard black so that's the problem.

Download the attached cab and install to change the color to black.

Or you could go to HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\ and change DWORD textForegroundColor to "0" without the quotes.

After doing so, soft reset.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kraize:
I love this! Installing now! Except I don't see a button slider cover thing :| It prevented my from pushing buttons when it was against my face. I'll check it out though.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lpsi2000:
Thank you for the info and the cab. I made the modification myself and while I was there I fix issue with the name and number not showing up. It was the same thing with the text color.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Some of you don't have the phone canvas in your roms. I have a solution for that- Download the cab file of the latest iolite phone canvas and install it. Now you are ready to use these skins.

Link - Iolite phone canvas QVGA(It is not skinned/It is just the dialer) - http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=f97db4cd070df2f841446e35a78dc46304f5f01c5356a21bb8eada0a1ae8665a
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Don't install that, and please remove the cab!

It uses different images and is not for VGA.

Curently I'm skinning that one so be patient and I'll have a cab for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Yay, QVGA!

My old HTC Prophet feels a lot faster than my Touch Diamond :S

273Mhz OMAP vs 528Mhz Qualcomm.

Oh well, here is a preview for you! Nothing different from VGA ^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
looks WONDERFUL :)

if you could supply your graphics after you post the cab, i'd be grateful. I'm looking to change some of the colors... to be more greenish
[Windows Mobile Themes] SaBo:
Awesome

Sascha
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
That cab is just the qvga phone canvas dialer and is not skinned,it is for those who don't have phone canvas in their roms
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
You are the best skinner I have ever seen so far..
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
thanks pauld for the skin. its given me back my color life to my phone in all aspects:D

@Kraize, it will keep the actual curtain if its installed on your rom already
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
@nir36: I won't release source graphics (psd), I just don't feel comfortable with that. Did it before and didn't get credit for it etc etc. Sorry, but if the demand for a differens color is high enough I'll make one for you.

@Sid_dominic56: Thanks alot <3 ^^

@all, just came back from the hospital and I'll get back on skinning QVGA now. Incoming call is done aswell.

Bye.

[Windows Mobile Themes] m00moo:
hiya paul! great theme you have here! :D I recently began skinning for the HTC as I have a TD. Wondering would it be possible to upload a zip with all phonecanvas files so I can have a go at creating something for the community?

Thankyou!

PS: I've tried to go through my windows myself but i really dont know which files are relevant to the phonecanvas :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Simply download a OEM for the phonecanvas and you'll find all the files.

Don;t know where to find one but google will help you =)
[Windows Mobile Themes] m00moo:
Thanks but i've tried searching everywhere.

you could simply upload the zip but if not thats fine i'll find my own way.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Man what happened to you? Hospital? All's well na?
[Windows Mobile Themes] skelator03:
how bout an all black version that would be great and probly wont take much time
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
@m00moo: Please don't talk to me like that, I'm not your employee. Here you go, say thank you =)

@Sid_dominic56: Well I've got kindey stones and Crohn's disease. So not realy but I'm still living xD. The more I'm ill, the more skins you'll get. But thanks for your concern.

@skelator03: Please don't make requests when the skin isn't even finished yet. I don't think I'll make a black version. I'll might go and skin everything on the phone in this style before doing so. (htc album/youtube/mp3 trimmer etc) Just wait and maybe I'll develop something for you. Have you tried looking for a black skin already?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
My friend that's too much of pain that you carry every day, If at the cost of you being unwell we get the skins,now at least i wont pray to get more skins, Your health is important than these skins.Don't worry everything will be fine.Get well soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m00moo:
Sorry, I dont see anything wrong with the way i worded my previous post? I did not intend to make it sound anyway offensive, and if it did somehow then I apologise

Thankyou btw for uploading.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bokechukwu1:
Has the qvga version of this been released yet?? and im sorry to hear about your current condition, we will keep you in our prayers
[Windows Mobile Themes] skelator03:
sorry i thought it said to make requests sorry bout that just asking a question if you have no intent to make one that is fine too i appreciate your work i use a black slide to answer now just hoping to use yours as it might make my ringtime faster thanks again
[Windows Mobile Themes] krish_nank:
Hi pauldgroot,

First of all thank you for the skin looks bigger & clear.......;)

I have small issue like i had a black slide to answer on which caller id was white so its obvious that i cant see the caller id its not a bug in your upload. Would you mind to update the cab as you have done for history tab. ;)

Thank you in advance....
[Windows Mobile Themes] skelator03:
installed and tried to unistall and it messed up dialer and the caller id was all garbled just a FYI
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Repacking a new all in one version so that everybody should be able to install thiss on their VGA phone.

As for QVGA, I think I'm almost done though I'm having a problem.

Look:

And I can't seem to figure out how to change that. Still looking into it, can't find a regkey that would do it and nor can I find a bitmap.

Bye for now.

btw, I know the end call button is green. Fixed it already ^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] dickenz:
Hi Paul,

Excellent work on the skin mate. Using it on my TD and loving it.

There is however one slight issue with the phone canvas on udK's 2.03 ROM.

See attached screenshot. The buttons revert to default when covered by the canvas.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bonsaiboyz:
I noticed this too ... but then I thought the transparent canvass is not truly transparent ... just an image with the default buttons greyed out. That would explain this issue ???
[Windows Mobile Themes] dickenz:
That could be it too... It never crossed my mind and I don't have time to dig into it right now... I'll wait for Paul's response as he has the all the graphics on hand.

EDIT: On second thoughts and observations it seems that is correct.

Any chance you could skin the Canvas to match your dialer please Paul?

I'd be happy to help out and do it for you if you don't have the time - But I understand if you do not want to share .PSD files as it is your hard work.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
The IncomingCall.bmp has the background for this, the upper part of it is displayed during a call. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] derekwilkinson:
Good work finding this! I can't wait for a QVGA theme!

Will it be uninstallable?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Yes it will be.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
The phone lock curtain is done though I have to go to school now so I can't upload it. Will do so in the afternoon.

It's my birthday today!

@Sid_dominic56: I thought so too since it is at the VGA version. Not on the QVGA Iolite dialer. :( Maybe I can't do anything about it and it's a bug. Because I also noticed the QVGA does not have a contact pic shadow when you're in a call. So I guess it's a faulty overlay.

Bye.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
We can fix this issue by using the opal phone canvas rather than the iolite phone canvas because I am using the opal phone canvas and I tested this thing and it works absolutely fine.Link opal phone canvas- http://myunspace.com/?d=C7D3277B1

Happy bday bro. Have a blast.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Hey paul so whats the status now?
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
Happy birthday Paul.
[Windows Mobile Themes] derekwilkinson:
Happy birthday!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dickenz:
Happy birthday Paul. Hope it's a good 'en.

Looking forward to the canvas upload.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Themes] r0sh:
waitn patiently for a qvga version, GREAT work from what i can see n untill i can test it :-)

[Windows Mobile Themes] guevr001:
Happy birthday!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ferfecir:
Hi Paul ;

had made very good themes

Minimal Phonecanvas skin do not QVGA ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] pietrucci:
Happy birthday Paul, my daughter had her birthday yesterday also!
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Hey all!

Thanks for al the congratulations, I feel loved =)

Anyway, back to skinning QVGA again.

Cya
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Mate, what's the status ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] MarcoPolo78:
Hey there paul ! I know your busy skinning but just a real quick ? ... Do you need the new version of Md2 (iolite) for this dial skin or does it work with any version of M2d :confused: Great work by the way :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
as asked by many people before, please stop requesting for status on developers' progress. It is frowned upon.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Qvga released

Here you go :)

Please give me feedback, I didn't try the cab for myself but it should work fine.

The base is from the Opal Phonecanvas 3.50.31737.0 since the Iolite's one has a background bug.

Enjoy!

ps. if you have downloaded this and you are using it, please consider a donation. I don't use QVGA myself so I made this purely for all QVGA users and put a lot of time in doing so. All donations are highly appreciated. The link is in the first post, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] laocheebye:
i havent tried it yet but i'm using the opal phone canvas by mbarvian and there is no silence button on it like the vga version.

would the qvga skin still work then on my phonecanvas?
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Uninstall your previously installed canvas.

And yes, the skin has been altered to fit the opal canvas without the mute button.

Also uploaded the Phonelock fix for VGA, it's in the OP.

-First install the Canvas then the fix!
[Windows Mobile Themes] derekwilkinson:
Awesome! But just to make sure, would this be uninstallable?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
There is no ringing and vibration after installing qvga version on my herald.
[Windows Mobile Themes] klone96:
i use the sprint mogul and it doesn't seem to play well with s2u2..

i know i have the ring tone volume set to high but when i call my self the ring tone doesn't play.. same with missed call tone. ill uninstall both ap's and see what it could be..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Same with me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
I have almost fixed this problem...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Really sorry,I did not know this
[Windows Mobile Themes] klone96:
after installing the PDG PHONECANVAS MINIMAL QVGA V1.0 cab to device (from the above link) i soft reset and found no changes made to dialer.. still stock no images what so ever..

im running wm6.1 (build 20931.1.5.0) straight from the kitchen!
[Windows Mobile Themes] CRACING:
:eek: WOW, finally qvga is released. Cannot wait to test......:p

Edit : Its really great and works fine. The problem is the, CAB does not contains phone canvas main files so we should Install phone canvas cab first and then Minimal Phonecanvas skin cab.

BTW; I didn't like that skyblue color, anyway, wonderfull work.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Did you install it from the link one 1st page?The link to the cab on the 1st page,has a no ring bug.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Link opal phone canvas- http://myunspace.com/?d=C7D3277B1

For those who do not have phone canvas on their phones.
[Windows Mobile Themes] CRACING:
No, I downloaded from media fire which you provided but now you replaced it to rapid. Any changes?

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
No changes,just changed the mirror because the mediafire one was disabled automatically.
[Windows Mobile Themes] klone96:
well i just installed the mbarvianopalphonecanvas AFTER UNINSTALLING ALL OTHER PREVIOUS CABSand had no problems other then it doesnt play well with s2u2, but it did ring and vib.. ill install ur cab of images and see what that does..

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sid_dominic56:
Uninstall the previous cab before you install it. And it is not my cab its Paul's cab- its just that i edited it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nir36:
Paul, is there a chance that you can release the skin with the background bug for the Iolite's canvas?

I very much woudln't like to switch to the opal's canvas as the phonelock thing was driving me crazy :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] klone96:
ok.. after hadreseting my cell phone i installed 'mbarvianopalphonecanvas' and the the 'pdg phonecanvas minmal qvga' images only cab and now it works pefectly!! only thing is it takes alot out on the mogul bcuz of its low intenal memory.. thank u all who made thiis possible!
[Windows Mobile Themes] medkid:
Dear Pauld, thanks for your great contribution. Is there any chance for a Video call dialpad for this great dialpad ? (I use Kaiser)

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
Sorry for the no ringer bug!

I was working on this last night and I couldn't use the ringer so I had the volume on silent.

I'm fixing it right now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
New version uploaded, 1.0a QVGA.

Based on the mbarvian phonecanvas. Also includes a graphics only pack.

Paul
[Windows Mobile Themes] klone96:
thanks paul, quick question. Is this new versionUNINSTALABLE on mogul , i had to hard reset lastnight bcus i had a hard time uninstaling the mnarvianopalphonecanvas ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Caferacer:
I am using a titan/mogul/XV6800 and it runs beautifully. Much better than it's previous incarnation that needed the extra smart and redial cabs. Loads much faster and looks slick.

All I did was uninstall all dialpad and dialpad related cabs, reset, install, reset and done! For reference I used the QVGA-complete cab.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hayer:
i cant seem to download the qvga one it gives me an error and says the links invalid
[Windows Mobile Themes] pauldgroot:
so... no feedback?

thanks for the hard work?

donation?

come on guys!

you request a qvga version, I deliver it but you don't say thanks or whatever?

makes me sad ):
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cal-El:
I am sorry! I just installed it last night and I love it You always do good work and I appreciate it! Thank you! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] MyNarwhalBacon:
I would love to try it but I can't seem to get the QVGA link to work. I have tried two different browsers. The interesting thing is that I tried it on my phone first and it let me type the catchpka but I didnt get any farther than that. Is there anyway we could try a different service? I have a premium rapidshare account if needed.

Other than that it looks sexy... Like Jessica Alba sexy. Not like Hillary Swank sexy, who is still sexy but not like your dialer sexy. Wait this just got a little creepy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Gangster-134:
Hello nice application. But when i lock the phonecall the language will change to english but my own language is dutch. idk if anyone say this bug.
[Windows Mobile Themes] klone96:
sorry about the delay but i was busy.. i was able to download the qvga cab when found ill post it as an attatchment. i tryd to install the cab and it came up as an error (on mogul, after uninstalling previous cabs and softreseting)
[Windows Mobile Themes] derekwilkinson:
Sorry, just tried it also. It looks nice, but the one thing I noticed was the the 0 is always blue. For some reason this looked kind of strange to me... :confused:

I did, however, really like the in call features, especially the transparent "cover"
