dcd's mogul dialer cab

[Baffles]

Is this skinnable? I have PaulyA's Vista Dialer and I'd like to keep that same skin if possible.

i dont see why it wouldnt be, but i moved everything to /windows instead of /phoneskin for other reasons.

edit: both cabs are attached now. if you want you can grab the one that installs to /phoneskin if thats easier for you to work with.

I have the Grey Classic Picture Box by JPL4 skin installed. The dialer is buggy though, sometimes it locks up or stumbles. I don't care about smart dial, but I want a picture shown on calls.

I dunno where to begin on porting that theme to this dialer, or if this dialer even supports a skin with a picture box like that.

my understanding is that this should also work on apache wm6 and correct the 911 and data arrows issue. if anyone could verify that it would be nice.

Well, almost perfect on my wm6'd 6700. I work at a 911 call center, and the call went thru immediately, but then it goes into "press exit to exit emergency button" and the button doesn't look very pretty. It appears that it's a non skinned button, it appears directly above the 3 (where the call history button usually is...), and simply says "Exit", but it's in the original phone skin, not in the touch theme skin.

thanks for the 6700 confirmation. im not sure if eb3604 can answer the exit button question for us?

when you call 911, it goes into 'emergency mode' persay, Paul has not found a way to skin it. It is probably in a DLL somewhere. I'll look into it too. Paul has a post on it on pdaphonehome

[Baffles]

Do you really call 911 often enough to care if emergency mode is skinned?

I did a 911 test today just because I wanted to make sure mine was working, it's working fine (they didn't answer until like the 6 or 7th ring though)

I really don't understand why the heck anyone cares about the "exit emergency mode" button being skinned, that should be the least of your worries if you're calling 911. Let's get real here.

dont you get in trouble for calling 911? I remember when I was in 5th grade eating lunch in the cafeteria, the principal came in. He said someone called 911 from the payphone next to the cafeteria. I think we got out playground privileges suspended for a week.

Well you're allowed to make a "911 test call" but in some areas they want you to call a non-emergency number first. I just called the Sheriff and asked and they said just to call 911 and tell them right away it's a "test call" and you can ask about your info that shows up for your number.

Well my number and name comes up but no address from sprint attached, so I had them check the A-gps and they got my location really close (one house away).
