[WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #3
 

I got tired of looking for a black skin for my phone that didn't include purple or dragons, so I decided to make one. Tested on TP2 with JD's 6.5 rom w/ stock sprint radio.

This is my first phone skin so let me know whether it needs changing. Also, It works good for everything I do, but if any features of the phone are broken let me know. ## codes work.

Update:
I changed the smart dial icons as shown in Screen02 below.
If you want to use this one. Uninstall the old one and soft reset first

Update 2:
Added grey bars so you can see who you are connected to.

Update 3:
Fixed the grey caller box's top edge being skewed

Doesn't cmxylogos pimp package make everything black?

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

thanx from me for this op,only thing missing from the rom im using, ill test her out now. op, may wanna change your phone info also.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

I don't like the blue buttons, blue selection highlights, the purple bubbles or the background. Aside from that, yes.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

op, im using opera on tp2 and tried 3 times to use dl link and when i hit save i get booted from opera, can you just post the cab?

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

It's freakin 20kb over. I used the phcanImages.dll off the official HTC rom. I'll zip it, but if you don't have winzip or winrar.....

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

got it using ie, looks good. your not madd are ya op?

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

When it comes to me and photoshop, green doesn't come close.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas

When it comes to me and.........

Green meaning I rarely use it.

Thanks

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

Thanks this looks even better than the dusk dialer I downloaded. Gonna try it. Hope the caller ID is also black.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

Same here. I couldn't use Firefox. Internet Explorer didn't block it.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

OMG it works! I've tried other black dialers and they all disable the ringer and caller ID picture stays white. This one doesn't have that issue. Sweet. Thank you so much!

My black theme is now complete!

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

Just wondering if someone else could confirm this:

Before if I left my device untouched for 5-10 minutes I was running at about 56-58%.
Now after the same period I run at or about 53%. Anyone else noticing less resource usage? Backlight maybe? Who knows.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

first of all great job! and of course thanks for the hard wrk...

i however have a 2 questions... first of all i really have no idea how hard it is to do all this,, but how hard would it be to turn the numbers/letters to like bluish aqua or limish green color instead of white?

like i said just a question...

and second... how hard would it be to turn the "onscreen ketboard" black?

thanks again for all the hard work! great job

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

I thought it'd be easy.
You have to download:
Reshacker
The sys file for whatever rom that your on/will work for you
Photoshop/ some simular program
Some sort program to maKe a cab file

Ceregedit will come in handy as well unless you are adept at structure and typing.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

This thing just came out. I've been seaching for weeks for a black (no blue , purple , dinosaurs, monsters, whatever) just plain black professional dialer, and I ended up having to make one on my own. Good Luck on that one

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

lol thoughts so...just figured id ask...
thanks again, lovin the black!

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

When you dial out and connect, the font displayed for the person you are calling is black and nearly unreadable

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

I'm looking into that. I have gone through all of the reg settings @
HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone to no avail. I think that text color is tied to something else. I saw where this was solved on another dialer by inserting a light grey field where the text appears. I decided not to go that route because:
a) I have unlimited minutes and
b) When connected I know who I am talking to lol

When/if I get it fixed, I will post an updated cab. If it is tied to the HTC contact util, I will leave it be.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

Thanks man! It looks good, appreciate the work!

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

Updated 1st post.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas
 

Thanks for update #2 :headbang:...

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

I like, I'll have to see how I like the new smart icons as I think they are just functionality changes from the previous version.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

Does this change the ugly green also or is that still there??

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

I keep it green because it goes with the rest of manila. If you copy the file in the zip to your windows folder it will change it to the colors in the jpeg below. Or, open the bitmap in paint and change the colors to whatever you want before copying.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

I like the green

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

Thanks for the update and thanks for the jpeg! That's the color I want.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

Im looking for something just like this, but for the contact list. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

Hey Chas by chance are you using MM new WAR rom? This dialer is not allowing Opera to open. If I unistall it Opera opens fine. Not sure how it's related. Any idea?

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

For those that see small detail, in the second and third pic on first post, the top bar of the gray is slightly imperfect. The right top 2/3 of the top pixels of that gray box are white and the left side is different. Idea for next update. I use this on the MM LOVE rom no issues.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

Good eye. Glad its working for your on LOVE rom. WAR is giving me issue with Opera and this dialer. Maybe Ill switch over.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

Updated the first post.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #2
 

Love it! I'll tell you if I notice anything else.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #3
 

chas123 -

1. When someone calls, the state shows up but it is in a dark gray font color and the background is black so you can barely see it. Can it be white or the other gray you are using if its readable?

2. When incoming call, if you are going to ignore the call, scroll over and look at the bottom left, the pixels are missing on some of the bottom border. You can reproduce this by calling your phone and then do the scroll over to ignore but don't release.

Thanks

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #3
 

Damn it guys I am sorry but I have a question... I want to try editing the phone canvas myself, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to extract the phcanImages.dll file from my phone!! I tried searching and searching and searching... I even tried extracting the .dll file from the ROM itself (through a kitchen) but it doesn't open! Could someone fill me in on how to extract these ROM files from the phone?

Thanks!!

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #3
 

Here you go. If you need it cabbed up when you are finished let me know.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #3
 

fresh, thanks coming your way

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #3
 

chas123, thanks for your quick response... However, when I look at the files inside I notice that the top row of icons (in Bitmap_7.bmp) are:
Hold - Talk - Note
Speaker - Mute - Calendar

When I make a call, my screen shows:
Talk - Hold - Note
Speaker - Mute - Call History

So, I was wondering if you had the phcanImages.dll file for my particular phone canvas... Sorry again and thanks for your time.

Re: [WVGA][CDMA] Black Phone Canvas UPDATE #3
 

Which ROM are you on?
