Hi Guys,
I am just changing my theme over to an all black version and I am having some difficulty with the zombie security pad skin.
The pad I am talking about is when you have a PIN number on your SIM and start the device, the security pad asks you to enter it so it can switch the SIM on. By default this pad has blue buttons, however zombie has been able to change this to black:

When I load this on my device and soft reset, the skin just stays at the default and the new skin is not applied. I have read that some phones skin this pad slightly differently, so the skin I am applying does not work.
I am wondering if anyone has modified this to work on our phones or would have the skills to do it?
Cheers, Towelie.
i tried to change that too. no chance. the bitmap files which are necessary for changing are locked. (they reside in \windows\ dir.)
I would've thought the dialler images were located in the same place, yet the dialler is skinable. Are it's files in a different location?
Same problem :

Hello I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro. It has a very ugly theme, fortunately it is possible to change it back to windows mobile 5 defaults. Only the phone pad and the contactlist still show up in this ugly pinkt t-mobile look. How can I change that back to default wm5 too ?
i have sucessfully managed to reset the phone pad to the wm5 default skin via the registry. But the contact list as well as the call chortcuts are still in the tmobile look and feel. Also the phonepad has an ugly tmobile logo in the top right corner (With ugly white border). What can I do ?
Care to share the registry changes you made?

while the above apprach resets the fullscreen phnepad to default, the popup phone pad (the one in the lower that can be used instead of the software keyboard) is STILL in the ugly T-Mobile look. How can I set that one to wm5 default too ?
I have a dutch HTC P4350 and I hate the green today theme.
But when I change the today theme, the device asks for a soft reser and when its again up and running the dailer skin has disappeared.
I only have grey buttons which are ugly (imho).
Has anybody this problem?
Can it be fixed?
I was thinking that the problem is a invalid link in the registry to the default dailer theme because when I restore the original htc green today theme, also the dailer is restored (after a soft reset.)
Can someone help me???
Thanx!
No one has this problem??
Than I think I wil send my 4350 back to HTC for repair....
Too Bad
I have this problem also. I have tried two hard resets and nothing works.
Can't say I've ever used the skin, so don't know what it's doing, but the long way around might be to get the .tsk file (the theme) and decompile it with WinCE Cab manager to see what registry settings it's changing.
Then just ensure that those registry keys stay as they should after changing the theme.
V
hm .. the same problem ... ((((
Hmm, decompiling the tsk file, seems to be difficult.
I spoke to HTC support, but they don't know the problem exist.
Think it's a bug in the rom or ext rom because I have no problem with my HTC P3600.
try this
On my HTC Herald (p4350) the Smart Dialer Application skin has a light gray background and the text (caller/callee, elapsed time, etc.) is in white and therefore barely readable.
I changed the following key
HKLM/Software/HTC/?PhoneCanvas/Task0
in that I changed the value of the REG_DWORDs
DIALER/portrait/text:textColor
DIALER/landscape/text:textColor
from their default value FFFFFF (hex) to 000000 (hex). That changed the color of the text from white to black in both orientation modes (after soft reset).
I tried it on my brand new device and dont have this problem. I changed to the standard windows theme and I got a grey dialerskin (with smart dialing working)
Smart Dialing
I had a problem with the HTC Dialler skin disabling the smart dialling. After reading many forums i gave up on trying to get that particular skin working and opted for one of these http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GH_ShowArticle.asp?HID=35&CATID=1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12 The black skin is a little too black for my liking and was overriding the "HTC new theme". I just changed to another theme and back again and hey presto, colour scheme as I wanted it AND my smart dialler working. Haven't looked at the memory usage yet but seems to work fine after the initial wait on first use.
Hi all,
I've been f'ing around with different dialer skins and fubar'd an uninstall. Since then, I've lost the ability to show any of the text on the dialpad (ie. 1, abc2, def3, talk, speed, etc..)
I know these are controlled via registry in some way, I don't know the specific keys, but if someone could post a reg dump, (i can manually put everything back in place), that'd be awesome...
device: HTC Prophet, running WM5 2.15 AKU
TIA!!
I figured it out... I exported [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Dialer] and compared the landscape and portrait registry keys. The dialer skin I uninstalled incorrectly only supported portrait so I picked out all the "extra" keys and one by one deleted them and observed the affects:
These are the extra keys I deleted.
Portrait\Text
"textRCMLStyle"=dword:00000011
Portrait\VerbButton & TalkEndButton
"TextFlags"=dword:000F0F0F
Portrait\DialButton
"MajorRCMLStyle"=dword:00000022
"MinorRCMLStyle"=dword:00000044
"MinorFlags"=dword:000F0F0F
"MajorFlags"=dword:000F0F0F
Yay Me!
For starters: I have the T-Mobile USA HD2.
I installed the DJC BLACK/BLUE dialer, it caused the extended bar issue in the screen shot. Then, I simply uninstalled the dialer, soft reset... and then the issue was present on the default HTC dialer. Also, some of the black shading remained from the BLACK/BLUE dialer on the default HTC dialer, basically corrupting the standard dialer altogether.
So, then I figured that I'd try to install the WM6.5 version of that dialer -- considering it was reported that it was working on WM6.5 without issues... well, it works in landscape, the colors are correct, and everything seems fine; HOWEVER, as you can see by the screen shot, the overlapped (TALL) bar still branches out from the base of the dialer.
IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS? A REGISTRY EDIT? SOMETHING THAT COULD PERHAPS REMOVE THAT BAR OR MAKE IT STANDARD SIZE AGAIN? DOES ANYONE HAVE THE .CAB FILE FOR THE ORIGINAL HTC DIALER? Thanks in advance...
Hi !
Did you check your registry for the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas\LargeBtn and check if the value bLargeBtnLayout is 0 or 1 ?
Not sure it has any effect anyway ; I'm trying to remember where its position is defined (it has been a frequent bug on WM6.5.x cooked ROMs - the opposite problem from yours, but still annoying).
The icons names are Dialer_Contact_down.png and Dialer_Contact_up.png, but their design isn't the problem : they're always rather small and the phone software (and/or registry settings) are responsible for their bad centering.
Have been modifying TP2 with many registry changes etc. Running WM6.1
However, seem to have "lost" part of the standard dialer and have trolled through the forums trying to find what files and .dll are being used by the DEFAULT dialler.
The HTC dialler works fine but I do not like it, so when swapping back to the default dialer, the buttons and keys are there, but where the list of previous numbers should be is just a grey area with no entries. Selecting any area WILL bring up the call record as normal.
I must have deleted\edited\corrupted something..........but even looking through back-ups, can not find a clue!
Otherwise, any clues on JUST a plug in dialer (everything I find seems to be a full package with today and other stuff) - I like the dialler on the TYTN2 - both for size and colour and am trying to replicate this if possible.
Colours and size are good for tapping when driving as here in UK must NOT hold a phone as illegal!
ANy clues on files/which registry keys hold the colours for the HTC keypad etc. would be useful as doesn't seem to be HKLM\security\phone\skin
As loads of views and no answers, transferring to general questions
