Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

DONE UPLOADING ALL THE FILES. THANKS FOR BEING PATIENT

Diamondish Dialer skins by C@rlo$ and superflysocal.
Most of the credit goes to C@rlo$ for initiating the graphics of this skin. I just added some finishing touches.

For those who want the diamond look for a dialer but have not had success with other dialers due to lack of smartdialing, bugs, or 911 compatibility issues, we have created Black and White style Diamond dialer skins for Touch layout dialers. It was written for Touch dialers that time tested for their stability and compatibilty. These are only a skin for the dialer and should not affect 911, smartdial, redial, ##*# functions, etc.

I have decided to start a new thread since C@rlo$ is pretty tied up now, so he gave me permission to start a new thread to manage it. Also, i have fixed all the cabs so they should be working very well now.

These dialers are written for and tested on 3 different types of Touch dialers:

V2: CDMA Titan phone w/ BigButton Dialer or BlueFrog_Touch Dialer installed. These will install into the \Phoneskin folder.

V3: All other CDMA Touch dialer layout (all Touch phones). Make sure on the Progress In Call page, there is a separate Call and End buttons, before you pick this version. Some GSM phone with this type of Progress In call page will work with this as well. See second image of this post. These will install into the \windows folder.

V4: GSM Phones with HTC Dialer.cab or Wizard_reTouched_Dialer.cab installed. Make sure on your Progress In call page, that there is an End button that turns into a Call button after you hang up, before you pick this version. See third image of this post. If you have a separate Call Button and End Button on the Progress In call page at the same time, then use Version V3 (see above). These will also install onto \windows.

If you have these type of phones but they don't install in these directories, please post your phone and where the graphic files are suppose to go.

Caveat: These dialers disables the "text" on the progress (during call) page. The disadvantage of using icons instead of text here is that some of the buttons change state after you hang up. There are two instances: On the touch dialers (non-titan), the Speakerphone button becomes the Call History button after you hang up. On the titan with Big Button/BlueFrog dialer installed, in addition to this, the mute button becomes a save button if the number you justtalked to is not on your contact list. On this dialer, the icons will not reflect this change. Thus, although the function of the buttons will change after you hang up, visually the icon will not reflect this. There is no way around this. If this bothers you, don't use this skin!

Uninstall: If you have a stock Touch dialer like Sprint Touch or Touch dialer built into your ROM, when you uninstall, it should revert you back to your old default skin. For titan user with Big Button or GSM user with HTC Dialer or wizrd_reTouched dialers installed, when you do an uninstall, your default images will be lost. To recover, reinstall your dialer cab (Big Button, BlueFrog, HTC Dialer, etc.).

I am not liable for any damages what so ever

Enjoy.

Please make sure you download the right version for your phone/dialer (see above).
They can be found on the posts that follows (2-6). RENAME AND REMOVE .pdf FROM THE FILE AND INSTALL THE .cab ON THE PPC.

I have also included on this first post a copy of BlueFrog Dialer cab (the latest variant of Mogull Big Button Dialer by Paul Hammond) which is required for CDMA Titan phones only, as well as a copy of the HTC Touch Dialer which is for non-Touch GSM PHONES ONLY. CDMA and GSM Touch phones with stock touch dialers should work without any additional cabs. If you have a phone with a custom dialer cooked into a custom ROM, then it will probably work, but it depends on the layout of your progress in-call screen. Read the versions explanantiona bove for details.

Ok, done with the files for now. Please give your feedback.

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

First - SUPER job.

Second. I am using this with NexVisions Hulk ROM. It does it all without a hitch. I combined it with IContacts!!! This is the BOMB!!!

Many thanks again.

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

Very nice. Now, how does one go about renaming it without the .pdf extension? Thanks in advance!

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

on your PC, right click on the file and select rename and just take the .pdf out leaving the .cab (say yes if a warning pops up).

or
on your ppc, use a file explorer, find the file, click and hold the filename until a pop up window occurs, select rename and remove the .pdf part leaving .cab

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

Feedback? I want to try them all! Very nice work. I tried the vista dialer in my new rom and had some troubles with the in-call screen, searched and your name popped up! Your cab OEM'd up perfectly and cooked into my rom flawlessly! I've got your white diamondish 3.41 from xda, but I'll thank ya here! Keep up the outstanding work!


Edit: How about the dialer from post #5 with a blue call history button?

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

911 & smart dialing work??

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

Yes they do.

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

I second this request. (How about the dialer in the 5th post. With a blue history button?) Thanks TMZ

P.S. Oh, and please put it in just a regular cab form. I had to go to XDA's to download. Because these adobe reader files I can't get to work. Even with removing the last three letters at the end of the cab. Thanks again, great work.

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

This site does not allow uploading of .cab file. I was trying to get these out to you guys as quickly as possible, and i couldn't figure out how to batch convert them to zip files so i batch renamed them to pdf instead. Anybody else having issues...should be able to rename and remove the .pdf part and it becomes a .cab file.

As for the blue history button, instead of making a whole new dialer with that change, for now this should work. Unzip this file and drop them into your folder (most likely \windows unless you have a titan). Overwrite when asked. Wait a minute and then soft reset.

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

try to take the cab. & right click it , then send to a zip , then it will let you upload it . Thanks for everything. T M Z

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

Is anyone else experiencing the 1 key not taking the skin ??

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

Yes me to. try this. This is from c@rL0$;



Try copying the images that are in the ZIP file from which I uploaded into the \windows directory or wherever the dialer images were saved to.

And then soft reset.

Thanks T M Z

P.S. Sweeeet Thanks guys...

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

If you don't like the grid progress page and want something else, then this is for you.

It might not be much, but it's something different.

Each ZIP file has a folder with the images for the progress pages.


Unzip the ZIP file. Then copy the images over to your \Windows Directory or where ever the phone images are being saved on your phone.

And follow that by a soft reset.

i tried to uninstall from remove programs to install another dialer that u have

it looked like it uninstalled then gave me an error that it didnt completely uninstall... do u want to remove from remove programs screen.. i hit yes and i still see the original file name in remove programs when it was already uninstalled... how can i make sure it was completely uninstalled and how do i remove original file name from Remove programs

i installed another dialer by u ... now i see two dialer names in remove programs from u

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

Before you installed any of our dialers did you remove any other custom dialer other then the ones we provided?

If you didn't and then tried to remove it after installing one of our custom dialers, you get that error. The reason is that it cannot find the files to remove because they might have been over written or deleted by the custom dialer you uninstalled.

What I did to fix an issue like this in the past is :

Close out all programs.
Reinstall the program that you cannot properly uninstall.
Chose to over write the original program / dialer.
Once this process is completed, soft reset.

Then uninstall, soft reset, and install another dialer.

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

the only custom dialer i had before was another version of one of your dialers.. just a different color one

i tried your method.. closed all programs... tried to install the one that i was having trble uninstalling... i ran cab and it says that install was unsuccessful...

i went to remove programs and i see
both of the superflysocal and carlos diamond dialers there.... one starts with super and the other starts with carlos..

if i try to remove it says the dialer was not completely removed.. do u want to remove it from the list of installed programs... i hit yes...

and it is still there.... issue is happening when trying to uninstall either one of the two...

i went into registry editor and hkey_local_machine... software and saw both of the programs .. i removed ... but i still see in uninstall program.. maybe this was a mistake

what programs are installed when i run the cab ... how can i manually go into the phone and remove all the files and registry links manually and start from scratch

is there a way to load phone in like safe mode... that way the files dont run on startup and i can remove ... i am at a lose here

files i am dealing with
diamondish white dialerv3.41
was trying to replace with
diamondish whitegreen dialerv3[1].32


thanks for your help with this

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

I'll look more into this.

I usually just install the program over the original one and it reinstalls the files that were not found when I tried uninstalling it.

so if you installed 3.41 and had issues uninstalling it because the files were deleted or moved. Then try installing 3.41 again to replace those files and then uninstall it properly.

Re: Diamondish Dialer skins for CDMA and GSM Touch Dialers
 

i have tried to reinstall both skins and no matter which one i try it says that thhe previuos one will be uninstalled first, i say ok ..then i get error that it was unable to be removed, do u want to install anyway, i say ok,.the cab file runs...looks like it is installing, then i get an error that it was unsuccesful.....is there no wat to manually go into dvice to remove?

i went into HK LOCAL MACHINE\software/apps

i see both of the dialers in there but i do not see an installdir , i scanned through other apps and they all have an installdir in details, can u look at yours n tell me what to data fill it with, maybe that is why it cant be found to uninstall ? does yours show install directory just to be /windows/ ???
