Hey Guys
Well ive been lurking around these boards for over a year now. I thought i should gather up all the things ive either skinned myself or found.
Ive never been *truly* happy with my device, or Windows Mobile, and so over time ive put together some M2D themes and Comm Managers and now im trying my hand at making a Dialer and its turning out pretty good (i think).
My aim is/was to unify my device and make the interface look better.

Make sure to use the very latest M2DC otherwise i think the clocks might be a bit off.

Video Dialers
Well i found this video dialer and decided to skin it. They are up to BETA 4 which means the primary and secondary screens are both skinned but there are still little bits a bobs that need to be done, but its 95% complete. If you have another dialer installed, uninstall that one first then install this one.

KEYBOARD SKINS
Beta 1
This is only a skin for the Keyboard, not the full qwerty or any of the others. The others deal with the letters differently, so its going to be harder to skin, same with the symbol page. So they have NOT been skinned. This skin is for WWE only.
Ok this one requires a bit more effort to install. First you need to make SURE you have this keyboard below ALREADY installed:
If you do, you can now download the files, unzip them, and copy them all to the Windows folder, overwriting the original files. You will need to use Resco File Explorer, Total Commander or a Windows PC to copy them. File Explorer does not work.
Then you soft reset your phone and you should have the new skin installed.

Splash Screens
Here is one i found, i didnt do anything to it, im just uploading it again because its so great and fits in with our Touch Cruises so well. When i get a chance i want to work out how to turn the white bits red and lime and blue etc to match the M2D themes above. I tried "replace Colour" with photoshop but it just gave me a horrible pixelated mess.
Polaris Flower Startup Screen
Now the following to screens replace the second or third screens you see when you boot your device. I cant remember which one exactly. These match the "Red" and "Lime" themes up above. These also wernt done by me but im uploading them again because i think they fit in perfectly.
Simply rename them welcomehead.96 then disable touchflo, copy them to the Windows folder, then re-enable Touch flo! You may need to use TotalCommander to copy it over if File Explorer wont let you.

S2U2 GFX
Well here is another Beta, this time for S2u2 graphics. I might redo the clock because that look is a bit dated. Or maybe i might redo the clock in the M2D theme to match this one..hmm..decisions...
Anyway here are the files, just copy the gfx folder into your S2U2 folder, overwriting the old gfx folder. It has been tried and tested on S2U2 Version 2.01
Dont know if ive skinned all the files but most of them are done.
S2U2 2.01 gfx
great effort mate - thanks for sharing
GREAT!
Thank you!
*wipes brow* just finished redoing all the buttons for the Lime Dialer. Its quite striking to say the least. Its still a beta though, with the secondary screen still having the normal buttons but 80% of it is done.
Thank you for your Comm Manager, anybody there can guide me to get 3G to GSM button instead of data connection button. My problem is, i am using 3D setting SIM card when i set to 2G postpaid, 3G celcom still appear at today screen. TQ
Well ive added a Red Comm Manager. Its a beta because when you select something the highlighter doesnt go away. Everything works but if you select more than one thing it just looks a little odd...i might have to switch to a different comm manager to fix the issue..hmmm
To change the options in the Comm Manager use "Advanced Config". Open it > Menu > More Settings > Comm Manager >
EDIT: Well ive been fiddling with the registry settings today and i have found where to change the text on the secondary screen in the dialers, but ive tried two colours and they both turned out blue (wtf?). Ill have to read up on my hexadecimals
EDIT: I did it! I managed to get the text to black. Its a slightly brighter red than the dialer because i dont know how broad the colour range is. Ill upload soon.
EDIT: Well im now uploading Beta 4 of the Dialer. Ive skinned the buttons on the secondary screen when you press down on them. They are now white instead of black to match the other buttons. Ive also moved the red bar down a few pixels so the Mobile Carrier fits on the grey space and doesnt hang over.
EDIT: Im going to try skinning a SIP now. In the same Red and Lime (and black). I dont know how its going to turn out. It might be too difficult to see in all but the perfect conditions. But we will see how it goes....Ill post up some screenshots of the Alphas if i have any luck doing it.
EDIT: Ive updated the Lime Dialer to the new secondary screen. So now they are both 95% skinned. It seems you cant finely tune the colours for the text. Perhaps they only have a 256 colour palette? Im going to leave them how they are for now, while i try fixing the Comm Manager issue. The SIP might take a bit longer than expected. I have crappy wireless internet at the moment and downloading anything is a major pain.
EDIT: *Sigh* why must everythg be so difficult. I tried skinning the default HTC keyboard and all was going well until i loaded it on my Polaris. It doesnt change any graphics, even though i loaded a cab on with the new ones. It leads me to suspect that the CAB is not overwriting the existing files, but simply creating a copy...thus not getting used. I need to work out how to delete the original keyboard files so the only ones in use are the ones i install with the cab. ARGH!
Well after 2 hours of tinkering ive finally worked out how to make skins for the HTC Keyboard.
Im going to do the keypad layout first as its the easiest to do lol
Ok im uploading the 12 button keyboard skin.
Please take note of the following:
This is for the 12 button keyboard ONLY, all other symbol screens and other keyboards have not been skinned yet.
To install it you will need to use Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
Please make sure you already have the keyboard installed, these are the skin files only, not the keyboard itself.
This skin is for English countries only
To uninstall you will need to copy the original files back over, if anyone needs them i will upload them, just send me a message.
EDIT: Im going to try skinning S2U2 now...what else do people want skinned???

I would like to present my Black Skin Pack. I did not make the programs, but I modyfied most of them to give the appereance i want.
The Last of that Projects was the creation of my Comm Manager Skin. I hope you'll like it. I took Shaps Kaiser Comm manager to start the Creation. And it will identify like that in the Installed Programm List.
But have a look by yourself:
Today Theme:

}
Comm Manager:
Dial Pad:
Slide2Unlock:
Instructions:
For the Slide2Unlock Skin just Copy the files into the GFX Folder and overwrite the original ones. If you dont have that Program you can download it here
If your Rom Cooker has skinned the Pin-Number input, and you want that black just delete the reg-key "HKLM/Security/ResOver/Bitmaps/BaseDll".
I used the PHM Registry Editor
Unfortunatly the Dialpad Skin will switch your Today Skin, too. So you have to switch the Today Skin again after you have installed the Dialpad
File List:
Today Theme:Rapidshare Megaupload
Dial Pad:Rapidshare Megaupload
Slide2Unlck: Rapidshare Megaupload
Comm Manager:Rapidshare Magaupload
So i hope you'll have fun with that Downloads
Important:
The Buttons for the phone being muted were missing in my first release of the Comm Manager, so you should download the fixed file I just uploaded. I first did not realize that because I only tested the functions of Comm Manager itself.
You can help me to improve my Comm Manager if you could get me the answers to the following Questions:
There are some Buttons missing to get all Functions intigrated. So where is the definition of which png belongs to which funktion and how could that be changed.
Maybe the key to that problem can be found in the SCHAPS~1.000 file but i wasnt able to open it correctly. So does sombody know what Filetype the File is and how it can be opend and edited (Notepad gives me nonsense)
Some insight in the Reg Key HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\DisableButtonText would be nice. For it is responsible for displaying the Comm Manager in different ways. But with the PNG's the only usable option is the Value 2. Otherwise you got the original Comm Manager displayed. But the Options are quite interresting (0 = Original Setup with Button Text on the Top / 2 = Buttontext on every Button / 3 = No Button Text.). But there has to be a place to where this Key is referring.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
Hi
Like your Comm Manager Skin a lot. But I can't download from Rapidshare. In fact, I have problem downloading from Rapidshare 9 out of 10 times. Can you post it in another place for download?
Also, will it override the default Comm Manager Skin such that I need to hard reset to get it back? Cos' I wanna have the option of freeing up my device memory should I need the space for another application. Please confirm.
Thanks! Great job!
Will it work well in english?
I noticed that these weren't in english, maybe a noob question but it does it matter?
Looking good!
Coradiel,
Thank you for this wonder black pack!!!! So great!!!
Thank you for your hard work modifying and uploading! Thank you!
Very nice, can you make a similar skin for Psshutxp
Edit: The fonts in the commanager are too bold, can you change the font please

Thnx for liking it. I'll try to provide an other Mirror.
To your second question. The Comm Manager can be uninstalled through the "Installed Program List" in Windows Settings. But if u use the default Comm Manager u can go back too by editing HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\DisableButtonText (Value from 2 to 0)
EDIT:
Megaupload Links added

First of all no Question is a noob question. We all had to learn once.
There is no Language File in all of the Skins. MS made the wonderful thing to store them in other lokations and not meld them with the Skin Files since WM5 (i think it is since WM5). So u can use this Package with every Language
plz post in some other site
hi
plz post the files in some other website..i cannot download from rapidshare.
thanks

For i dont now Psshutxp i cant promise you anything. But i'll have a look at that.
For the Fonts: I can't really say anything about the Fonts in your english rom, because i'm not able to get them displayed with my device. But i can tell you that i'm not satisfied with the Button Texts, too. I wanted them not to be displayed, but i cant find the keys resposible for that. There is a reg key in the setup.xml, that seems able to do that, but if i change it the skin is gone, too. If anybody knows how that task is done pleas tell me.
General Information:
There are the PNG files of the Backgrounds and Buttons, the Commmanager.exe and a file I was not able to identify in my cab File (SCHAPS~1.000). Maybe the Key to that Task is in that last file, but i'm not shure which Program I should use to open it properly, because this file isn't mentioned in the setup.xml. Notepad gives me a lot of glyphes beside some readable information. And I'm really not sure what it does (im much better in editing graphics than programmng, actually).
I also would like to know where i can find the assignement Buttons=Tasks so that i'm able to integrate new tasks with new Buttons into the Comm manager
(i would like to integrate voip, for example).
I would be grateful for help
I have problems unzipping the files. (tried the dialpad and the comm-manager).
I tried windows-xp's built in routine and izarc.
Both give error-messages. What is my error?

I checked the downloads and was able to unzip them with Windows and WinRAR without problems. I think your download has been corrupted. I think you should try again to download the files.
Beside that I must honestly say that i did not know where your problem is.
Bautiful skins!!! Thnak you!
I can't get the Comm Manager installed
My device says that I don't have the correct systemrights/accessrights.
What am I doing wrong?

Maybe you have an other Comm Manager installed. You first have to uninstall it.
When does the Installation Process stop? During the installation or at the beginning?
EDIT: I downloaded my file and installed it. It is working on my device.
Beautiful skins, thanks!
Just a question, maybe it is not the fault of your skin but I even ask my question here.
How to hide in the Phone Dial Pad the little part displaying contacts?
Indeed I've the keypad from bottom to middle, then a little part of my contacts displaying and then the background skin and my Orange logo.
I never noticed contacts before, is there a way to make them disappear?
Thanks.

I think your question refers to the smartdial funktion. Whenever you start dialing, the matches found on your phone will be displayed. I believe that this is a funktion of WM5 and WM6 (programmed by HTC), it appeared in every dialpad skin i tried on my phone (if the skin was programmed for WM5 or WM6 and that funktion is supported by them).
And sorry if i have to say that. My programming skills are very limited so i do not really know.
But there are several reg-keys in the setup.xml referring to the smartdial funktion. The best thing you can do to check that is by using a regestry editor (i provided a link to one in my first post) and edit that keys one after an other and look what will happen (dont forget to reboot after each change). I know, that this is a long process and it cant be seen if u have success by doing that. But that is the way i'm going through all the times I change programms.
You'll find the keys referring to Smartdial in "HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing"
I hope that is what u want and u'll have success with that. I think you'll not damage anything by doing that, if u do one change after an other and remeber the original settings. But I for shure can't give you a guaranty.
So good luck
No it's not that
In fact, when I open the phone, I have this display all the time.
Indeed, when I start to compose a number, the smartdial tries to match contact links, but what I'm talking about is present all the time, not only when I compose a number.
I'm going to have a look in the reg and see if I could find something
Thanks.
i'm sad
these look really pretty, but they won't work on my phone :'-(
i tried installing them, but they just made everything white...no background....just plain pure white...i have a treo 700wx, so if you can fix it plz let me know.

I'm very happy to present the custom cube skin dreamt up and created by Musicman247 and myself…the iCube. Inspired by the user interface of the iPhone while understanding the amazingly small size of the Touch, the iCube interface blends both together to form a unique “cube” skin is both aesthetically and functionally pleasing.
Through modifications to the TouchFlo Cube made by Musicman247 the iCube utilizes a 4 line by 3 column format of icons and “4th Wall” for its launchers. This format provides slightly larger, more finger friendly icons than standard iPhone interfaces while at the same time providing a greater number of shortcuts than a standard 6 cube or Music’s original 8-icon cube mod. The use of a “chalkboard” icon set furthers the effort to give the iCube its own personality while the “flush” animation used for exiting/opening and shifting the cube gives homage to the iCube’s inspiration.
The following are examples of the iCube’s “flush” animations and the full cube in action.
Cube Rotation
Up/Down
Button Press
Currently, release 1.0 which should be out within the next few days, will feature a “stock” launcher as the “4th” wall, with each icon connecting to a stock HTC program. The second application launcher, the Custom Launcher, will be able to be edited using registry edits, as will the Media Launcher page. It will also feature the skinned Media and Contacts pages.
We will continue work on the iCube in coming weeks to make it more feature rich and user friendly. We currently have a wide range of ideas so definitely stay tuned for updates.
Finally, major thanks to Musicman247 who is truly the mind behind the iCube’s programming and creation. If not for his talents this would’ve never been more than a wild idea kicking through my mind. Huge props goes out to him.
We hope you all enjoy, feel free to ask any questions you have

UPDATE 12/08: .Cab of Version 1.0 posted
UPDATE 12/12: .Cab of Version 1.10 (newest!) can be found posted on Post 4 of this thread
Greetings
man this looks just nice,
nice done,
where can i get this
I wrote Tene two months ago asking how I could use that animation from PocketCM to create something like this,but the iPhone twist is the ultimate in ingenuity. i'll be the first to scrap my cube for a settings page....
Edit 12-11-2007:Version 1.10 is now up. This includes the previous bug fix, plus adds the ability to change your icons on the 4th side through registry edits. This also allows the icon "blink animation" on the fourth side. BIG thanks to Kona_Mtbkr for making this possible! No un-install needed before installing this version.
Edit 12-10-2007: Version 1.01 is up. This fixes the bug where the File Explorer button would not work. you will find it attached to this post.
Edit: Icon pack is now up. All of these icons are already installed in the \My Documents\iCube\Icons directory, but I figured you'd like your own shot at them. Here they are, all 34 of them in BMP format, including a carbon fiber background so you can change the bottom icons as well.
here is a list of all icons included with the iCube CAB (no extra install needed, they're already there!). These are their acutal names, just add .brn after them, and _HL.brn for the highlighted versions. You'll also find the "hub" icons in there as well.
1. beam
2. calc
3. calendar
4. camera

Verynice job guys looking for to have the cab....keep going!!!!
THANK YOU very cool job
Hi, quick question. To install this all I need to do is load the CAB onto the phone correct? I was reading all about the customization stuff and going in and deleting specific files (which I wasnt able to do) and all that stuff. I'd love to change some stuff on my cube but it seemed sort of complicated and just never took the time to sit down. Wondering if this will be a bit easier or will I have to do the same steps described in the customization thread.
Thanks!
I was just skimming through the today posts and happened to come across this awesome looking iCube of yours. I saw you mentioned the Touch is that all that this will work on or will it work on other phones?
Any news on when we can expect the CAB to be posted - really keen to give this a go?
lol
the cab! the cab ! the cab lol
cmon please we cannot wait
Hope within today!!!!L&P

Hi,
Just installed it and it looks great! couple questions. How do I set the buttons to go to places I want.. like Sprint TV (which I dont have) to go somewhere else.. back to the preset videos and other buttons too. How do I get into the registry to change these?
Also, in the slide 2 unlock program how can I change the background to match my background on my phone. I read it somewhere before but I cant seem to find it. I did check around so.. any help would be appretiated.
grreat
man o man works like a hookers shoes. i had the 4 page cube previously i did not uninstall anything works good great work
Hi guys no way to get it works on qtek 9000?????
I installed the CAB , then what? How to start this?
@nofate
The install the programm directly over the old one. So try the normal finger tips to show the cube. The new one should appear then.
@Zyphlin
After installing the cab i could open the new icube. But the site where the commmanager etc. is is still the old one! Only the one with sprint tv (which i don´t have) and the favorite contacs changed...
I think I must be doing something wrong, I downloaded and synced the cab file. Then I opened it, pointed it to install it on the card as there is not enough room on the device (even though I removed everything except tcpmg and full screen kbd!) and it still tries to install on device, then fails.......Help!
Tried it on the HTC Touch Dual..
Tried it on the HTC Touch Dual and it didnt work???? Installed fine and seemed to run but the transition didnt work and the icons were missing and it appeared that most of the graphics were mis-aligned.... Sigh.... still waiting for a Touch Dual Forum but will keep trying "other" stuff in the mean time..
After about a week of work I have a set of three themes that provide a consistent look on my WM6 device. The one shown below is pShades-Rainbow. I initially had just a HTC-Touch Dialpad theme, but decided to take the time and create a PocketCM theme to match. Eventually I will have a full set for each dialpad theme in the above link. I am also willing to entertain custom themes as time permits. pShades fully supports portrait and landscape modes for QVGA screens. Let me know what you think!

Examples:
Includes:
The Theme zip file includes the following files:
Today Theme .tsk file
Dialpad Theme .zip file
PocketCM Theme .zip file
Portrait and Landscape .jpg files for S2U2 backgrounds
Sample .jpg file (seen above)
Requirements:
These files are dependent on the following applications. Listed are the version I am running.
Today - WM 5 or 6 (WM6)
Dialpad - HTC Touch Dialer
PocketCM - 0.20 or newer (0.20)
S2U2 - Any (0.99p)
To Install:
Today Theme:
Copy the .tsk file to the root of your device (or "My Documents" dir) and select via Start->Settings->Today
Dialpad Theme:
Unzip all images (png files) to your /windows directory. They will overwrite the existing HTC Touch Dialpad images. Next, reboot your phone, or disable the radio (airplane mode) and end the cprog.exe program. Re-enable the phone and you should be good.
PocketCM Theme
Copy the .zip file to the /Program Files/PocketCM/ dir (installation dependent). Go into PocketCM and select the theme from the "Options" screen.
S2U2 Backgrounds
Copy the images to the /Program Files/S2U2/gfx/ directory as file names wallpaper.jpg and wallpaperL.jpg for both portrait and landscape. To be honest, I use S2V to set my wallpapers for S2U2.
To Request:
If you like this style and would enjoy having a custom theme set just ask. I will need an image or both the portrait and landscape modes. Or an image large enough to be used for both. Depending on the response I will try to get them done within a a week. Family takes up much of my time.
Thanks:
To Michaelr219 for his wonderful Battery Status theme. It can be found with his iStyle theme.
To DvTonder who's green WM6 theme for PocketCM inspired me to create my own.

Humm. Must be because I am using Total Commander. Try disabling you phone (radio) and closing the cprog.exe program. You may need a tool to view processes and end them. In WM list of running programs.
Anyone else experience this or have a solution.?
First THANKS 4 fast reply,
Will test it with TC, I'm such a newbie^^, just started modding my phone, kay TC
I've already disabled my phone but didn't find the cprog.exe process, Okay,I will search a TaskTool to find it out

I am sure with the help of the nice folks around here we can figure it out. I wouldn't think disabling the phone (airplane mode) would diable activesync? To be honest, I am a Linux guy so I have never tried copying files via activesync (assuming this is what you are doing).
It might be worth trying something like WM5torage to mount your SD card (if you have one) and then copy them over to /windows from within the phone. That is how I do it anyway. Let me know if you get it working!
Okay, I will never ever copy files via activesync again
THX 4 the TC advice, works well after i have killed all processes xD
BUT^^ after rebooting the dialpad, there is still the same old boring style like before do i have to start the Dialpad extra?^^
Sry 4 my Newbie Questions and sorry for annyoing you
Btw. i installed a Taskmanager called "duttythroy" taskmanager found here, but i can't find it on my phone.^^
I thought i killed the processes with Start->Preferences->(the normal WM6 one) taskmanager?! is Duttythroy only an add-on/extension OR does it run on its own?! im confused.
I only search a tool that shows all processes and let me kill them...

Humm, assuming you have the HTC-Touch Dialer installed from the link above and the images actually copied over to the /windows folder you should have the new dialpad after a reboot or soft resets. The only reason the "end" the cprog.exe process is to load the new images without having to reboot.
As for the taskmanager? I am not familiar with that one, nor did I find much about it. I use TaskManager and love it! Hope this helps.
Nice looking themes.
Glad to see my work helping others make great pocketcm themes
Keep up the good work!
today item order..
PhilD41... first off, these look a pure work of art dude..
OTOH.. how did you get HTC Home plugin to "move" from the top spot on the today screen and have something else show above it??
Whenever I try to do this in setting>personal>today> move item up or down on today, it doesn't let anything go above it! I'm just trying to get Windows Live Search box to go on top so whenever I tap in it, it doesn't get totally covered by my PocketCM Keyboard and making me force to turn landscape mode or or flip the keyboard out in my Tilt...
Sorry for being off topic.. but I just couldn't resist.

Two ways to do it:-
1. You have to edit the Registry
Look in:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home
Change 'Type' from 5 to 4
Stop and start the HTC Home from settings. You can now go into the usual Today options and put the plugins in any order you want.
2. Or use HTC Home Customizer by choosing unlock in options menu u can move HTC Home anywhere u want.
2 questions....
1) What Today Plugin do you have on top? The one with the Speed Dials? Is it simply PhoneWeaver?
2) What's your process when it comes to getting your PhotoContact pictures to look glassy like that? I've been wondering lately how I can set something like that up but I don't know the dimensions of the contact picture and I'm not sure I want to photoshop all my contact pictures.
Best Regards,
Nik

Thanks, I am glad you like them! They took some time, but I really enjoy having the same feel across my phone! I see that tjkhattak61 answered the HTC Home question. Although, it isn't HTC Home. It is Battery Status with the mentioned theme. I think there are a few HTC Home themes for BS.

That would be SPB Phone. I use to use more of the functions, but now just use it as a quick launch and profile change. I think there are several apps out there that do this.

Unfortunately, I am still photoshoping (Gimping) my contact images. I don't know of any program that will display a png with alpha so I am doing it the hard way. I did write a script-fu scrip for the GIMP that automates it. It makes it a little easier.
Thanks for the feed back!!
pShades-Calvary Added
Okay, next addition is up. pShades-Calvary is the first red theme. I am tempted to complete the red reptile theme, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Hope you like it. Anyone have a favorite background they would like to see pShaded?
pshades-pcDude Added
One more for the collection. I still have one or two more I am hoping to get done sometime this week. Still not sure which one I am going to use on my phone. Until then, enjoy my pcDude!
Thanks a bunch.. tjkhattak61

Just added pShades-Savior. Created it around my Avatar. We will see how long it lasts on my phone. Hope you enjoy!
UPDATE: NEW CAB Installer !(Many thanks to SaBo)
THE Buttons for active video calls and Landscape are not skinned at the moment but they are working with your default Buttons.
This is just working on any Polaris (touchcruise, Orbit2) and maybe Kaiser (?)and changes just your graphics in windows folder to Diamond Style and changes/adds some registry entries for the progress screen to get a dark text color on the white buttons (screenshot 2). It works with any language.
This is only tested with wm 6.0, i can cause small graphic Problems with wm 6.1 (see last Post).
Thanks for the People who helped me, and for one background i found here somewhere and SaBO for the new cab installer.

thank you great work
Tried on TyTN II with Hyperdragon IIIs full rom, main dialer screen works but the end call screen doesn't seem to work, or is it the new skin doesn't include the end call screen.
Smartdial is working, but Video call is working, error message saying that 3G network is not available. Not sure at this moment if it was due to Rom 3G dialer or not.
Thanks for the great work.
I have a touch cruise! The graphics are stored in the windows folder?

Alright, confirmed 3G video working.
Hi,for easy install,here is the cab .
- thanks for the cab
- my Idea was, why install a new "not working" Dialer if whe can change just the graphics of the existing one ? so on Polaris everything must work.
- im still working with original Diamond graphics now and you will get a much more beautifull Dialer (see Post 2),
- the video, erase.... buttons are to bright at the moment, this will be solved with next version.
- the End-screen will come also, its not included at the moment, first i must search for all buttons in my windows directory
- maybe i do landscape too, but never seen anyone phone in landscape
if anyone finds a bug (forgotten graphic) post here.

That's great! Looking forward to the next version. Thanks.
Update to a better Version, see first Post
Here you find a Quick GPS-Skin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405548
wow, great minds think alike. I was just thinking about which icon to use for my 3g idaler skin and came across one I like on Google search. Then I run across this and you ended up using the same exact one! Guess i will use something else.
btw, can you post a screen shot of the progress page during call and after hang up. i need to see what are the functions of the buttons during and after call.
hy super.
I used with a little of reworking original Diamond buttons found in the oem pack of diamond. The video/Call list and erase buttons are made by me with using diamond background buttons.
at the moment this is just the dialpad, but i am working on a solution for dialing in progress. Here is a first screenshot:
Problem that will come:
1. this dialer uses white text on blank black buttons, so there will be a problem when using white Buttons ? maybe i have to do some changes in the registy to solve that problem.
2. I Can´t locate exactly the other blank buttons without text. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH ARE THE EXACT NAMES OF THIS BLANK BUTTONS; FOUND 3 OR 4 BUTTONS THAT COULD BE USED BY THE DIALER IN MY WINDOWS DIRECTORY ?
2. The VideoCall Button was easy, its skinnable on its own and not using the other blank background buttons with text, so i could use a picture for it.
It works on my HTC Touch Cruise. Thank you very much.
thank you for feedback.
still working on Dialing screen, but now i got this graphics bug on the first row
i found out that the blank buttons the dialer uses are called CmdBtn..., EdBtn... and TkBtn... but my same button has the bug only in first row ?
Problem two is the white text (what a surprise he he)
will work on this tomorrow.
i copied these files to my windows folder but there was nothing to replace. I did a soft reset, and i still had the same htc dialer. doesnt work on the Kaiser i guess.
For different color of Progress page text, try:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\PROGRESS\portrait(landscape)\VerbButton\textFlags
it is probably at ffffff (white), try changing it to 0 for black. remember to wait a few minutes before soft resetting.
I use to also think that making skin for Landscape was a waste of time. But if you don't do it, there will be a line of people asking for it, so you might as well do it.
bluemetalaxe said:
UPDATE: The NEW VERSION, using original Diamond Graphics (and some from me )
it was a little bit more work then first Version.
If you already have my first version, just replace the files with this.
THIS IS JUST tested on POLARIS !!! and its only the Dialpad, will do more next days.
This is working because i changed only graphics.
Its just tested on Polaris Dialer (touchcruise/Orbit 2). No Landscape support.
This is not working if you have another Phone or Dialer. maybe on Kaiser if it has the same htc dialer ?
-make a copy of original graphics (see in my folder which graphics are replaced) or make a backup. When you do a hardreset your original graphics are back of course.
What to do: download, unzip and put the Folder on your touchcruise, use TotalCommander and put all graphics from my folder directly in your windows directory. Make a softreset. Ready.

Tested on my TyTN II running on Hyperdragon IIIs full rom. I like the previous version of video call button better. Anyway, appreciate the efforts. BTW, I think the last screen buttons had not been done.
Thanks.
- mikeeey: thank you for feedback, so the original kaiser rom seems to have another dialer/button names.
if someone has the time he can find out how the buttons are named on kaiser and rename my graphics ?
- superflysocal: i dont have the textflag or any text or textcolor-key in this regitrypaths or other paths ?
-zand: you dont like all buttons or just the video eye-button? the first version was in most parts original touchcruise with changed white/black buttons, this version has original diamond buttons, just made new green display, function buttons.

Please note the camera does not yet work, im uploading in the hope that an experienced cook will lend a hand and help me overcome the camera issue.
I would be willing to make a donation if someone can fix the issue, and i will include their name on the splash screen as well.
Download Links:
ROM Download Link
(Remember the camera doesnt work yet)

Main Feature
The main feature of this ROM is to "unite" all the programs. With the help of HTCtoucher im skinning some Windows components as well as some third party apps.
Thanks to:
HTCtoucher for 95% of the graphics and skins, hes incredibly talented, please visit his page and send him a donation for his hard work

A_C for his S2U2 and S2P apps A_C's Website
Quentin Pouplard for his PocketCM COntact and Keyboard Apps PocketCM Website
Install procedure:
Due to the fact this ROM contains extensive theming and theres only so much cab editing i can do, there are a couple of little things you will need to do.
1. To enable PCMcontact skin go into it, hold down the "phone" icon, select "options" and select the "htctoucher gloss v4" theme from the drop down list.
2. To enable the PCM Keyboard skin download the .skin file. Copy it to the PCMKeybard folder in My programs. Then select the keyboard in sms or whatever, hold down the enter button, glide across to options and select "gloss smaller" as your theme, it will take a few seconds to load.
3. Radio 1.58.x is recommended
Included in Rom:
Manila Skin
Comm Manager skin
Opera Splash
Audio Manager
Fingermenu + skin
"All programs" skin
Calculator + skin

Change Log

Beta 0.2 released
Updated drivers to 1.60 (increased program memory)
wow! that's looked great! when can we try it?
I like it
Hi addrez91,
Just waiting .. Take your own time.. Please do not rush things, we can wait for a good ROM and will wait.
Looks really nice, will be testing this out when its released.
Thanks for your effort
Ill be releasing it in a couple of days.
It was based on C_shekas rom but im having a few issues. I cant get the camera to work at all which is a bit of a problem lol.
Anyway im going to start afresh on a clean rom so it should give me more program memory and less issues cropping up.
As it stands based on C_shekas rom, i like it. Its quite fast.
My internet speed has been cut to 32kb/s...yes im not kidding you. Australian ISP's are bastards. My maximum download speed it 3kb so it would take me a week to upload the 100mb rom. Thankfully it will be reset on the 18th back to normal speed.
I like it, waiting for first release to flash
Please add video calls to this release.
Wow!!!!!!!! Amazing!! I want it:
Video calls will have to be for the next release.
Its possible, but the png files have to be edited one by one and theres lots....

This ROM looks great. I always look for skins and stuff but I can never make my Polaris look the way I want. This ROM could make a difference. Grat job. Looking forward.
Great look , if Mr. Shekhar work on it , it will be a very good rom, the graphics are very cool, waiting to flash
Well ive managed to delete the Manila program shortcuts in the programs menu, and ive also managed to change the date on the home tab to white, ive also managed to change the left softkey to "phone" instead of the broken "new" link.
I had to revert the dialer back to the original one because you couldnt adjust the in call volume for what ever reason. In saying that, i have skinned some files so it will look pretty much the same. There are alot of dialer pngs to be skinned and ive done just the most basic ones, with the rest coming in due time.
Ive managed to fix the PCM keyboard bug which showed a line of distorted graphics, unfortunately it has introduced another bug. The W key has no label...its just a blank button lol.Manually inserting the .skin files however displays no issues. Ive investigated it and when i edit the cab and put in the .skin files they drop a kb...and when extracted the w png becomes unusable. Why? i have no idea...
The only problem left to fix before i release is the non working camera, this could be related to my radio however, i will download a new radio later tonight when my internet is abck to normal and test.
May I suggest a program addition ? I really like Opera Mini for day by day browsing. It's much faster and easyer to use than Opera Mobile. Of course Opera mobile still remains. Skyfire, latest v9 beta also is verry interesting. It's pretty fast in showing streaming media. It could be usefull also an wifi on/off toggeler shortcut in Programs folder, so if anybody want's to use it can add it into manilla programs.
Great work. Looking forward into flashing it. Does it include Footprints ? I just wonder, if there are tabs dezactivated in Manilla, the RAM memory used remaind the same or is lowered ? I've been using Radio 1.58.32.33 with ROMs having 1.6 driver and Camera is working fine.
Ill add more programs in the next release but for now i might just leave it just Opera.
Ive reskinned the Calculator and i think it looks pretty good, matches the same buttons as the Dialer.
Still havent been able to download the new radio to see if it fixes the camera but in 2 hours exactly i will download a see, and if the camera works ill be uploading the rom.
Ill have to update the front page images to reflect the changes ive made.
what is the memory like. because most roms loaded with eveything just runs slow. nice and slow
Memory isnt *that* bad, hangs around 35mb. Plenty for me at any rate but not sure about others.
Ive tried a new radio but the camera STILL doesnt work. This is starting to piss me off lol.
Ive tried different camera modules from different roms and still nothing. Im going to try installing the original rom and see.
*sigh*
Well im officially calling for some help lol.
I just cant get this the camera working, ive tried different file sets and none will work and i dont know why.
I think it *might* have something to do with the 3D drivers.
Im using UDK's kitchen and i dumped C_shekas OEM and SYS folders straight into it. I think the 3d drivers are still included somehow because i have a total of 84mb of program memory when simply using C_shekhas rom i have a little over 100mb.
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be incredibly helpful because i dont want to release it without the camera working...
Whenever i open the camera it states "Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device.
Its not the radio as ive tried both 1.58 and 1.59. SO im just stumped.
Do you have all dependencies for the camera there? I know it requires mHub (not same as mHubVO) and possible other things.
