vista theme?

[LuXx]

is there a patch for the cingular 8525 to make it look like vista? i've seen the skinning stuff, looks to involved ( to many programs ). thanks LuXx

[diseage]

I am running wisbar advanced, and I have a great vista theme that I would be happy to upload, or I can try and find where I originally found it. doesn't take up too many resources, and it has a _ton_ of customization

I have one that I'm using that doesn't require installing another app that hogs up memory. This is a simple Vista "aero" type theme and a nice dialer to match. I'm using them now and I like 'em. I think I might have even gotten them from the forum, or maybe not. Anyhow, enjoy!

[yak86]

do you have screen shots? What is the tsk file and how do we use it?
Thanks!

Sorry, no screen shots handy right now, but all you have to do with the .tsk file is copy it to your \Windows directory. Then, go ahead and change your theme like you normally would. (Start --> Settings --> Today)

I see from your Avatar that your sporting the new Hermes headset. It's nice 'cos it doesn't require the Bluetooth connection - you just tuck the Hermes inside next to your ear and away you go; and with Wifi on it keeps your ear warm as well. I've heard a rumour that there's a dual core Hermes with twin hand-sets that keeps both ears warm. Bit itchy though??

Oh yes. You hit the nail on the head there. It's almost a full body headset, as you can see. Quite cozy in the winter... and very stylish to boot.

am i the only one who cant get the cab out if the zip file? the tsk is ok, but i get an error trying to extract the cab...

Not sure what the problem is, Zgembo was able to get it extracted and working. Are you just extracting the whole folder onto your desktop (or somewhere) and then moving it over to the phone?

[Zgembo]

Exactly, simple as cake... Just copy two file to any folder of your phone, and run it... Dialer (bigger .cab file) is just an option, instals as standard application... Skin (.tsk file) is very compact, and just double click it to add it to phone's themes... You can delete these files after installation...

does anyone know any drawback to the ETEN dialer besides losing video call as an option?

on this one you also loose smart dial... but its a kick a$$ looking dialer skin

[TaurusBullba]

Maybe someone with some skills (definitely not me) can put the smart dial and video option into this dialer skin. I think this was originally created for the 8125. Shogunmark... I know you're a pro. Whatcha think?

i can build wizard roms and cabs, etc.. but when it comes to *.tsk and dialer skins, i will admit defeat.. i have tried at those and failed so many times.. its not that i couldnt create them, its that they looked horrible.. i am seriously lacking in artistic skills.. i might look into anyway since i am dying to start cooking roms but the bootloaders on these phones right now is a major roadblock.. we will see what time has in store for me

[vodatechie]

Excellent phone skin! I love it!

[yak86]

i found the site where the nice dialer was from:

http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm

he appears to have E-TEN dialers with Smartdial (scroll down to the bottom round classic) It states the "Blackglass" has smartdial. Anyone try that out on a TyTN?

[nickshertzer]

Anyone know how to fix the AeroMobile.tsk theme to support the Portrait mode? When I slide out my keyboard, the skin should strech but doesn't. I tried to fix it with MS Theme Generator, but no luck... Any suggestions? I'm using Pocket PC 2002 Theme Generator V2, as that seems to be the last release from MS.

I have installed the black dialler CAB. How do I remove this black dialer and restore it back to my old T-Mobile one please???

just un-install it from the remove programs list

[nickshertzer]

Love the black dialer app. Buttons are so much easier to hit with my fat fingers. I figured out how to get the background image in the AeroMobile Theme to work in Landscape mode. rename the attached file to .GIF (not sure why the attachment auto changed when uploading) and copy to /Windows . Does anyone understand and care to explain how to add that into the TSK cabinet?

you can edit tsk's with wincab ce

This is a goodlooking skin, but the dialer doesn't transmit keycodes during a call (like pressing '7' to erase a voice message). Did a restart, still the same. Does anyone have the same problem and/or a solution?

[KevinBaker]

Put the skin on, hated it - went back to the DoPod black skin. Really like the phone dialer skin, but the bloody thing won't allow me to press the down arrow key to access my speed dials anymore, and its missing the video call button!

I noticed this issue yesterday when listening to voicemail. If anyone has a solution it would be great!

[KevinBaker]

Didn't have the problem myself - works fine, was doing it today!

[yak86]

anyone know if u can get rid of the grass behind the dialer? Would like it so much more if it was solid black/grey like the glass dialer paulyA has on his website.

And has anyone tried that yet? I can't seem to find the link to get the ETEN w/ Smartdial?

[naujoks]

Oh but I like the grass very much! It goes so well with the Vista theme of course! And am I the only one who thinks that the absence of the Speed Dial thingy actually makes manual dialling much faster? Previously there was about 1/2 of delay until the key you pressed finally appeared! Very annoying! To bad the dialler doesn't work for me (see above post).

Link to ETEN w/ Smartdial here.

I used the third attachment listed in that thread (smartdial_etenskinportretd_v2_124.rar) along with the portrait one. I used the Black Glass with Smartdial in blue from paulya.com (http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm). After you install the ETEN w/ Smartdial, you just copy all the files from the Black Glass thing into your Windows folder on your device. There is a thumbs.db file that I noticed in the zip file. Make sure to not try and copy that in.

What version of SmartDial does paulya use?

[mnicol819]

Here are 2 dialer & theme combinations that work will together. They both are based on the same big button design and have full smartdial functionality.

From my experience they work well on the Hermes and have a nice simple design that I don't get sick of.

There is one very strange behavior that you will notice and if anybody has a way to resolve it then I would love to hear it... The 'U' network indicator is replaced with an 'E'. The 'G' will still show up when on a GSM/GPRS/EDGE network but the 'E' is always there when on UMTS/HSDPA. If you unistall the dialer skin then the 'U' comes back. YES... I am sure that there is no change in the actual network or any other functionality considering I see 700+kbps speeds with the 'E'.

Bonus points if you can figure out how to all three indicators to represent their repspective connections appropriately.

Back to the point... try the skins. They work well and look awesome.

Thank's alot

[wundis]

hey the vista theme makes the keypad unrecognisable during the call :( I mean that I can't do "select one two three, select whatever" thing anymore :( anyone having the same thing ?

[trevortang]

The dialer doesn't have the video call button.

I'm having the same issue

[Ryuerik]

Is there a way to switch dialer without having to uninstall and install :confused:
It will be nice...:D

[mixmasterollie]

Is there anyway to make a video call with this dialer? Doesn't even seem to be a manual option through contacts :(

[MCEITLIN]

Hi TaurusBullba!

I managed to downlod the TSK file and the CAB file.

- Aside of copying the TSK file to my device's Windos directory, can I copy the CAB file to my SD Card and run it from there?

- Can the installation of the CAB file be undone or do you need to HR the deviced to do that?

If it can be reversed without having to HR the device I'll give it a try as the comments I read are encouraging!!!

Thanks
