About the dialer, I too was going to mess with the template but instead grabbed the Peaster111_BLACK-CANVAS rev. 2 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...15&postcount=1. Funny part is that the call log didn't work good as it cut off in the bottom which I thing was the rev. 2 fix. Anyhow I went ahead and removed that theme from the add\remove and it said that not all was removed, so I though oh well I will have to install it again and live with it. To my findings, the call log worked normally now, and the dialer theme stayed as the Black Canvas one.
Oh and Groove, thanks for that new ROM.
