I wonder, does the contacts/call history scroll in 6.1 builds? This is sort of a turn off, but in no way reflects on you amarullz. So far so good, I just want to find the right resources to edit for the scrollbar and maybe get some ideas about scrolling. There is one thing i noticed using build 23053:

the button which raises and lowers keypad is a bit misformed. I will try to post a screen, but let me try to elaborate. The icon appears correctly, but the graphics for soft key bar are compacted in that square.

One more thing on same build(occurs with tachi as well, but hope someone has a solution. The left softkey has a mix of icon from theme and text "Contacts", but contacts only reads as "Con...". How can I remove the text or remove the icon? Thanks for letting us try out your work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flyinonice4:
Ok for whatever reason I had to kill cprog first. I will see if everything works out for me now.

Way off topic: does anyone know of a good program to backup contacts from manila 2.1? I am used to pimbackup but that gives problems with 2.1 and I dont want to have to reenter them again.

EDIT: Worked perfectly and looks awesome. Thanks for your work! However I have two questions. One, when in a conference call, why is it that I can't initiate a private call like the touch pro2? Your supposed to be able to click on the person you want to have a private call with and click private to make it that way. Not a big deal but I thought I would ask. Two, is there anyway to add in an incoming call? Thats one thing that has always made me mad. If I have an incoming call come in I have to ignore it and add them in manually. I know on some of the less sophisticated tmobile phones this is possible by answering and choosing conferencing. It doesn't seem to be possible on our phones (perhaps its because I am on Verizon and we are cdma?). But that being said, I love the dialer.

i just see 2 "bugs" :

-I don't see photos

-the phone doesn't auto close after a call

i don't care about photos ( even if it's better ) but i ask me why the dialer doen't auto close :(

I hope someone can help me.

Yeah,sometimes I hide taskbar

then see the Operator name on the top of the phone canvas

but just the area that the sys taskbar has covered.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Thanx m8 :) About cabbing this file, I dont think it is necessary to use a cab if you overwwrite the file after installing the canvas. when you uninstall the canvas the system should recognize the new file as being part of the original cab install and remove it.

Does scrolling work with anyone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
Scrolling works for me. It's the 23034+ builds where scrolling stopped working. It works fine in 6.1 & in the 6.5 build I'm currently running.

EDIT: Photos also show for me, as does the Photo Caller ID (which appears in the main window at the top of the Contact list)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
Hi,

I've tested Amarullz's hack for video call. Initially, the screen works fine, then suddenly it will refresh itself leaving the video areas (big screen and small screen) turns empty, with the background colour the same as the canvas background colour, but with light border.

It so happen that when I was testing it, once a notification came up and upon returning to the video call screen, everything is refreshed correctly. When this happened, I saw that the small video screen (the lower left part) is displaying incorrectly. The box is in the correct location but the video inside the box is moved to the bottom (relative to the video box) leaving the upper 3/4 part empty. In another word, the video need to be moved up.

I'll be testing more and hopefully can capture some screenshots as I'm currently do not have anybody to make a video call to as it's late at night here now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
The new package doesn't have any major change from packages that I already post here, so I think this file will just work fine with previous phone canvas (that I post before).

* Try It is Your Own risk.

[ replace phcanvga.exe with the new file on attachment ]

Some changes:

- :D Just forget it... try it yourself...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Qui-Gon Ginn:
i will try ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orochi_cn:
after using this dll, i can't scroll the recent contact list in the dial screen by touch screen. is there any fix?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MRFERRARI23:
Photo for incoming call shows up and bigger, but I dont have photo on the left of the name and # when you first launch the dialer.... odd... CAPT. perhaps you can post a pic of what yours looks like?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MRFERRARI23:
First and foremost I want to say THANK YOU :D for your work and doing all this work to allow us to have the Rhodium dialer!!! That new zip you posted is supposed to do what exactly?? whats different between this one and the last one that CAPT. cabbed for us??

EDIT: I noticed that once your in a call, there used to be a details button that would take you to the persons details but now in that same spot its been replaced with calendar which is a bad trade off... I dont like that at all.... has anyone noticed this as well??? any way to change it back to it showing details?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neoo330:
Landscape, thanks Mate, luck's promissing
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teixeirabmb:
Do you accept donnations amarullz?

Sharing your stunning work deserves at least a beer!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MRFERRARI23:
I love this new dialer and im glad its coming along very nice!! I also know its not totally completed yet... but just some things I wanted to point out...

1) I dont like that were the video call button is now there's no longer the call history button...so we lose that and your only option is to go to menu and select call history and you get the HTC version of it. Though nice I dont like you cant delete calls/#'s if you needed to anymore.

2) while your in a call where the calendar button is there used to be a details button you could hit so that way you could get to that callers info etc if you needed to. what do I need a calendar there for lol?? odd...

3) Landscape works but not 100% but thats good cause with the tachi one it didn't do landscape at all... but this dialer isn't completed yet so im sure with time it'll improve in this aspect.

4) Conference button is cool!!!

Thanx again for this dialer porting and all the hard work thats been poured into it!! Im still using it non the less just wanted to point somethings out..:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ovrclck:
it worked!!! wmserver's cab worked!!! finally no more stupid scroll bar!!! yippee :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] malatest:
Ok, thanks for the info. LokstreamDRM removed and change tone ok. At the moment is the best beta Rhodium/Topaz PhoneCanvas I tried. Almost perfect. Thanks amarullz
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c5713:
i tried video call with amarullz's dialer..the screen position is a lil bit off..i know this issue has been reported before.just wanna confirm it..n i know amarullz is working on this.i would very much like sending him a donation if his dialer works out fine!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
The second release moves the 2nd video up, but there it is still not in the correct position. Can't wait to reach home and take some screenshots of it. Btw, the End button is not visible... actually can see a red line at the bottom of the screen, which I assume is the End button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cubetto:
Thank for your great work. Videocall works fine (3 Italia), the dialer is fast and use low resources.

The last file "phcanvga.exe" you linked doesn't works fine: lower buttons ar cutted.

Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
no, at startup they are cutted but after phcanvga.exe successfully loads, lower buttons aren't cutted. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cubetto:
Ok, I'll retry again, but this file in what is different from the one inserted in cab file created by Captain?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Qui-Gon Ginn:
1. The call history bouton was here because tachi doesn't support video call if i remember. So it's normal to have the video call here.

2. This calendar is usefull because if you speak with someone and you need to make a new appointment or see your appointment , you can see it So it depend of what you need ^^

3. If i remember, it said at the beginning of the post that landscape is not finished

I just find a problem. If others can tell me if they have the same problem.

My battery was 100% at 5h00. I make 2/3 calls of 1 or 2 minutes. I use data connection for the TF3D weather and msn. At 13h30 , i'm at 30% . I find the battery finish faster than usual. Can others confirm the same problem?

Thx for your answers

QGG
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
I am not sure about battery usage,

but I was regulary use phone call

for about 1-2 hours per day, and

dont have that issue, with 21859 it

even better (i am not say about

phonecanvas but wm build :D).

Again, I am not sure because I was

diamond user who connecting my device

into USB for almost all day :D

I will take a look into passing messages

during the call, if there is many jobs

in window messages, i will unhook the

bussy windows from hooking.

I am not use any timer on this program, so it will fine on standbye mode...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
Darn, can't take screenshot of the video. When I capture the screen, the video is missing. Btw, I'm using Jeyo Companion. Anyway, I've taken photo of the screen using my other phone.

VidCall1: The red button at the bottom is out of place. I think there are missing buttons, eg: Mute, Speaker, etc?

VidCall2 and VidCall3: The video need to be moved up a little bit more.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
As I said before, If I reposition the window in Video call, the video/camera view will miss align. It was positioned via hard code and will always stay there.

* you can't take any screenshoot because Video Call was drawed directly into screen/video driver, not via GDI/DirectDraw, so There is no way to fix the position without (disassembly it/resource if it was exists or Recompile from source code :D )

In new WM Build, It will automatically move the window up about 52px-36px=16px. so the video call will still in old layout position, and the window will changed. (I think you will found the same problem in new WM Build even you use WVGA Device). - I Draw What I mean in attachment:

That's why I don't move main window in Video call mode and hide the softkey. For new WM Build I can keep main window in 52px and fill the empty area at top with background gray drawing...

So Anyone have any idea what should I do?? Because It was naturally from the phonecanvas itself :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] suiller:
so if I understood well the problem is that it's not possible to close up the end key button? video call position & end-key button are controlled by the same dll?

EDIT: I can't promise anything but I could take a look this evening, I'm C++ developer so I know where to look, but from which package should I start?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwill:
Man, great job amarullz, the dialer really is great man!! The only small concern I have found (besides obvious resizing) is what has been mentioned. Where you hit the little phone button to minimize dialpad and see the call history. It is misaligned, but also it has the graphics of the older taskbars on it. Could also be that im using build 23049 6.5 build. Other than that, GREAT freaking job and you are all awesome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] suiller:
perfect thx ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] henk2484:
Hey Cap Throwback,

I've got a question. I edited the phcanImages.dll. I changed all green highlights to blue. I used Resource Tuner to do this, so that the digital signature doesn't get lost. However if I want to install the package afterwards, it states that it cannot be installed because it's not digitally signed. As a workaround I created an extra cab without the dll file, which installs fine. After install all I need to do is copy the dll file manually to the windows folder.

Have you got any idea how I can get rid of the digitally signed message when the dll is part of the cab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cubetto:
Hi what is the difference between this caba and the one posted by Captain_Throwback? (amarullz Rhodium_PhoneCanvas_20090925.cab)

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SOHKis:
have you tried signing the .dll after you have edited it..?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ledfortr:
money submitted

I submitted my $20 a few months ago to MikeKnoop and sent him a message with the info. My name still appears on the list on the front page as not submitted, please update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Qui-Gon Ginn:
None, my link is a package and captain Throwback make a cab i think
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] henk2484:
It shouldn't be necessary, because Resource Tuner keeps the signing intact. If I look at the file properties after signing, the same digital signature is present as in the original file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SOHKis:
it shouldn't be necessary, but based on the error you are getting i would at least give it a shot.

aside from that i don't know how to help you. goodluck man!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
What can it hurt to resign it? Just use MSSigner and it is simple. Also, make sure cprog.exe is killed before trying to install. This will throw the same errors.

Does anyone have any ideas about the scrolling in newer builds? Seems starnge that the Tachi dialer scrolled fine for me in same build, but this one doesnt.

amarullz, can you maybe add a check to your phcanvga.exe so that if the cprog is killed or something it will restart again after cprog is restarted. I know the first version of Manila_Position_Hack used to stop working if you closed manila and restarted it, but the new versions dont have the problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
Are you saying that the Tachi Dialer has actually scrolled for you in 23034+ builds? I've NEVER had any dialer where scrolling worked, in the Contacts list or Call History, since that build. That's actually one of the reasons I moved over to the other COM tree. Interesting that you had scrolling working . . .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SOHKis:
i've got scrolling w/23053 in both contacts AND call history...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
This may be an unrelated question, but do you use SensorSDK 4? If so, do you have rotation in CHome, Start Menu, etc? I've been having an issue with both rotation and scrolling since 23034, & I'm thinking they may be related, if your Dialer scrolls correctly (yes, I do realize this is slightly off-topic).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SOHKis:
no, i found that sdk4 made things slow at times after rotation. dropped back to 3 quite some time ago.

that just may be it, i'm trying to post a vid i just took to show you.. getting around the proxy is proving to be a pita, i've attached the vid to this post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Yeah, it has been working always. I didnt even know there was an issue before LOL. I do use SDK4, but an older version. No rotation except with Opera. I have been using Zensor2 to do the autorotation for me :)

I added TouchFlo to my ROM and scrolling will work that way, but we all know how buggy that makes a 6.5 ROM :( Here is a cab if anyone is interested to try. I'll leave it out of my public ROMs and offer it as a cab because I hate how it makes scrolling jumpy

SOHkis, would you mind sharing a build_log.txt so we can determine what has caused us to lose scrolling and possibly find a fix? I would suppose that it would have to be a package that you use
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SOHKis:
sure thing man, just cooked one up for the build_log. log is attached
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ovrclck:
So I just installed amarullz new phone canvas + wmserver's cab. When answering a incoming call, the slider sticks but doesn't answer until I swipe a few more times..happens the same with blue tooth..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apeas2:
Is there a fix to get the CDMA (sprint) codes working yet? Also, will I be abke to make a video call on sprint? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c5713:
request:Captain_Throwback,or maybe someone can make a new cab of the dialer with the new phcanvga that amarullz posted?coz i get the "untrusted signed certificate" when i drop that file in windows dir..at least thats where the original file located..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] player911:
The Tachi Dialer I had scrolled inside the call history and contacts. I think I had SDK3. It worked in all my builds 23034, 23045, 23047, 23049, 23053. This dialer doesn't allow finger scrolling, but the pros outweight the cons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teixeirabmb:
The scrolling working or not it's very possible to be related with ROM builts.

With the same kitchen (and packages) changed from a 23053 to the new 23420 and I had the call history working now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
Like I said, scrolling works fine for me with this Dialer, using build 21859. So it's not the Dialer that doesn't allow scrolling. As noted above, it's very likely related to ROM build.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
Rhodium dialer scrolling with build 23420.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
or . . . a conflicting package :confused:

Are you using amarullz's Showcase Suite to adjust Manila position? I haven't tried cooking a 23420 ROM yet using my "new & improved" kitchen setup. I'll have to try it out and see if I have scrolling (and screen rotation, while I'm at it).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Scrolling is finally working for me as well on 23060 and 23420 :) Must be build related, because I use same exact packages from 23053. Antway, glad it is working now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MRFERRARI23:
I'm using TAEL's rom WM6.5 build 23049 and scrolling doesn't for shyt lol.. so yea it must be rom specific.... also when your getting a call it sucks that you dont see the mute ring option anymore.... though this new dialer is nice etc it does take away some features from the tachi... and believe it or not my tachi dialer I believe was scrolling in the dialer before I installed this...hmmm... :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ovrclck:
how hard would it be to make this into a black canvas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
I can add registry to change the incomming call layout, there is many user preferred layout like this:

1. Currently ported incomming call ( Taskbar & Softkey Visible, Mute Ring Invisible but you can press the volume key to mute the ringtone)

2. Full Screen incomming call (Taskbar & Softkey invisible, Mute Ring is Visible, you can't send text message)

3. Taskbar(top) invisible, Softkey&Mute Ring visible.

4. Taskbar(top) visible, Softkey invisible, Mute Ring visible (you can't send text message)

:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwill:
I think full screen would be really nice. If I need to send a text, I'll just wait til I cancel the call and send the text:D Anyone else?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hmota78:
Yeah, I'm with kwill on this one. Sounds like the most sensible solution to me :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teixeirabmb:
My vote goes for

4. Taskbar(top) visible, Softkey invisible, Mute Ring visible (you can't send text message)

I would like to have the top bar visible to see signal strength and time.

It isn't so eye candy, but sometimes is important to see topbar info before answering a call! For eg. bad reception / too soon / late to answer a call ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
This would be great, so are you saying you would be able to add an option to configure via reg using your phcanvga.exe or via the canvas itself?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmserver:
amarullz,

I vote for:

3. Taskbar(top) invisible, Softkey&Mute Ring visible.

I don't need the Taskbar for incoming call.

Even better if we could config to any of the option by reg edit.

Thanks for all that you've done.

I hope you're not affected by the recent earthquake.

Best wishes to you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_del:
Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hefman:
As long as the taskbar is visible on the in-call screen, I'm fine with any of these, but would probably prefer 3 or 4.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WenWM:
Got the Cab and its awesome... just installed over tachi and it took some of the same attributes but looks way better. and landscape works
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nsx_23:
I can't seem to unzip the file. WinRAR keeps throwing the "unexpected end of archive" error at me everytime I open it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kobieness:
Ok, someone please help me with this problem. I was trying to uninstall this CAB, but my device was interrupted, and froze. It then turned off, and when i restarted it, the tachi phone canvas was gone from the program list, so it appears that it got partially uninstalled. However, now when i try to reinstall it, it just says that it was "installed unsuccessfully." What can I do to fix this problem? Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aaron McCarthy:
Try putting your phone in airplane mode, turn off manilla, rstart your phone then try reinstalling
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dimchris:
I couldnt do any videocall i always get an error message "failed to make a videcall what do you want to do". after a call it doesnt auto close the calling screen on which the touch responses to the background phone screen. Sometimes on videocalls keeps calling but in the background you can hear the error sound with no visually message. i am using an htc diamond 2.10 gen y rom with amarullz rodium phone canvas. sorry i am from greece i ve tried to use as much english as i could:P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Qui-Gon Ginn:
You need to be in 3G to have videocall . Are you in 3G when you make video call ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jsm0372:
Also should mention, even though many already know this, but Video Call and Video Share are different things. Video Share is a service you have to pay extra for through AT&T. When you pay for the service, you get a different APN to use (ism.cingular) instead of the traditional wap.cingular APN. Video Call, the way I understand it, is a feature available for European version phones with a front facing camera.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dimchris:
false alarm i succesfully made a videcall i think a second soft reset solved the problem. the call screen still doesnt auto close and some fuctions like auto speaker when the phone is turned over dont work. i think this auto hide thing with the soft keys isnt cool and causes distortion to the video screens when switching windows.

I always have 3g on :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Evoluti0n:
not working for me, using benko 4.5 full 23060. after install cant activate phone anymore, has to reinstall phonecanvas
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Qui-Gon Ginn:
That's right
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmserver:
You'll have to put the phone in airplane mode, kill cprog.exe before installing the cab. Then reboot.

Amarullz Phonecanvas and Windows Live

I included Amarulllz phonecanvas into GenY 3 kitchen, everything works perfectly except for Windows Live. I am not able to login into my account. When i took out Amarullz's and used Tachi phonecanvas instead i was able to login into Windows Live. Does anyone encounter this kind of problem with Amarullz's, if not any advice to rectify Windows Live problem. I like using Amarullz's and expert advise is highly sought. Thanks
