Want MORE RAM? Disable HTC Dialer Skin

[shifferman99]

For those of you who do use the windows mobile default skin for practicality or saving some ram purposes, did you notice that when using the side volume buttons to adjust the volume (speakerphone or earpiece), the volume actually stays the same and doesn't change when on a call? It's weird, but I was using the windows mobile dialer for a while because I actually prefer it compared to the HTC one (and I save a bit of ram while I'm at it...), but when I needed to adjust the volume either up or down, the bars would move accordingly but the volume itself would stay at the same level...Did anybody notice that? I tested it with switching back to the HTC dialer skin and sure enough the volume works again...

Sounds like it's not worth it to disable the dialer...Ram must really suck on the Verizion Touch Pro if you would even consider doing this just to save such a small amount of Ram.

I just got my pro a few days ago. Installed advanced config tools to get rid of the dialer because it kept getting bumped when i would take it out of the holster and the ignore button would get hit by the case 80 percent of the time. I noticed after that i could not turn the volume up or down and therefore i could not hear my wife. Did a little playing around and figured out it was the dialer. so now I use S2U2 to use the S2A ability. Oh well win some lose some. And maybe just mine but has anyone noticed the TF3D restarting after you scroll through a few pics on the photos and video tab??

Well, If it saves battery, I'm all for it. I dont need the turn over deal to mute my call. I can just press the side button if I'm reaching for the phone anyways.

I'd assume it has to save some kind of battery if the accelorometer is used less?

i had the same problem when i used the phonecanvas.dll. i disabled the key in the registry and now i'm using the default winmo which doesn't have this problem.

i really enjoy getting my calls on the first ring, starting up quicker, but my side volume dont work with this hack nor do # codes.
there has got to be a regedit to turn off the dealy with getting your call with the dialer skin.

I am in the exactly the same boat!
EDIT- do you also notice that your data arrows never grey out (i.e. they stay white all the time) using the stock WM dialer

This is not my work and I don't take any credit for it...Am just glad I stumbled on this on Xda Dev. Basically it disables the HTC volume key so that we can use it to +/- volume while making a call with the stock dialler. I have tried it, but the only draw back is that it does not seem to work on speakerphone.Here's the cab:

Like the others here, I switched to the standard WM dialer, and was disappointed to loose the ability to adjust both the earpiece and the speaker phone volume during a call.

I see that a .cab was developed, but it is confusing me a bit. Hopefully someone here can straighten me out.

I thought this .cab purpose was to add back volume control, not remove it (the name of the .cab starts with "Remove"). Possibly it is just that I am misunderstanding things, but how does removing the HTC volume control restore my ability to control the earpiece volume?

And does removing the HTC volume control, remove the ability to still adjust the system volume and the ringer volume (of course when not during a call)?

Sorry to ask possibly dumb questions, but without a .cab to back out this change, I am kind of overly cautious of installing it.
