[SKN] Ferrari/Red Bull/Random Dialer Skins (Standard+Tachi)

[xavierdemon]

Added new Random skin in post 4. (hope to do some other crazy ones as well :))

This first post will have the Standard Dialer Skins in it. See post two for the Tachi type.

Installation: Copy CAB to phone, install, SOFT RESET.

If there are any problems uninstalling the CABs, just install either the Original Standard Skin.CAB or the Original Tachi skin.CAB (found in post 4)

Thanks to everyone for all the help.

Let me know if you like them :)

Tachi skins here, they will look the same as the sample above, it's just the Tachi dialer is slightly different and I couldn't be bothered to do a samples image :). Didn't realise you can only have 8 uploads per post :). remaining files will be in post 4 lol.

[MRFERRARI23]

Just wanted to say that im loving these ideas/works you've come up with b/c I LOVE FERRARI'S!!! would this work on the newest htc tachi dialer that was ported? and also what would be awesome....could you make these into cab files to install w/the option that there able to be uninstalled in case one didnt like them?? that would be perfect and im sure many would use them including me!!! :D

Thanks for the comments :), I don't know if they would work with Tachi dialer as I don't have that installed. I presume they would as the Tachi dialer doesn't affect the Keypad me thinks :)

Will download Tachi's cab and have a look at the files and see what I can do. In regards to a CAB for the skins, I'm sure it's possible, will just have to learn how to make CABs :). But it's not hard to just copy the files to the Windows directory and remember to backup the exsisting files if you do want to revert back.

UPDATE. Ok, so have had a look at the Tachi files, it would appear that the keypad is lightly different, so my skins are not going to work with it :(. However, I'll just do a set of new compatible ones later :), in regards to the curtain for Tachi's dialer, I can't seem to locate the BMP for it but i'll keep looking. CABs, have downloaded a piece of software to generate them but haven't had time to play yet but it is something I'll try to get working.

UPDATE 2: I've uploaded a Tachi compatible skin for the dialer, I don't have Tachi's Dialer installed, so I can't test. Should work though (I hope - need a guinea pig/volunteer please to test). If the new Tachi skin test works, I will create the other styles :)

I have been trying to make all the skins in CAB form and it does work, however when uninstalling the CABS, it just deletes the files off the phone, which isn't bad for the dialer as this just regenerates itself but the Curtain just dissappears :). Haven't worked out how to make the CABs backup the files they are replacing and then revert back to them when uninstalling (I actually don't think this is possible anyway). So the best way is to just copy the files with Total Commander or Resco explorer and then SOFT RESET. I stress to backup the files your replacing to enable you to return your phone to normal if your not happy.




Hey,
Thanks for the idea!
I have the New Tachi Port on my phone...with Xmoda TF3D2!, and I unzipped ur Red Bull Racing...and it works perfect!
Let people know that they need to make sure to Backup all their info!
Is it possible that you could Post the process u did to creat ur zips....
I was toying with a couple pics...but ran into some issues with the transperency...
Once again it does work with New Tachi Port...
There is a thread open with Skins for the new Tachi...You might wanna head up there for more traffic!

Thanks acidbath,

You have confused me now as I thought Tachi's Dialer was different to the standard HTC one :) and that the skins I'd made wouldn't work lol (That's why I made the test one:)). I'll just have to bite the bullet and install Tachi's Dialer and do some tests myself.

Glad you liked the Red Bull Skin :)

As I mentioned before, I'd really like to do all the teams but as I stated, can't find good resolution brandings or logos, if anyone has some please post.

Thanks in advance.

HOLD ON!!!!!! just noticed your attached image acidbath, it's not working properly as your missing the TALK button and others underneath the keypad :). So as I suspected the current skins DON'T work for Tachi's dialer. If you could try the Ferrari Test, which is in post 4 and post another image, so I can see how that looks and if all is well, I get to work and create the other styles :)

[acidbath5546]

Great job

Was just playing around and made these:

Just copy files to Windows Directory using Total Commander or newest version of Resco explorer and then SOFT RESET. I suggest backing up the original files (These are: Assets_dialer_Normal.bmp and Assets_dialer_Pressed.bmp files) first, in case you want to revert back.

Enjoy :)

Well for Ferrari i was expecting Blood Red Buttons with Yellow print in it...Idea is fantastic to have Ferrari but the end result is not that impressive.
Request you to make some Blood Red and Yellow buttons
Cheers

I think that the best way to ask for a change or mod to someone's newly developed hack or mod, is being a little nicer...
Be less critical and more polite!
Just a random observation for what its worth.
Just hoping we can keep threads positive and with gratitude!

[xavierdemon]

Thanks for the suggestion vishalkishnani,

I'll have a look at completely colourising the entire keypad, once the new Tachi compatible skins have been completed.

Blood Red and Yellow text, ermm, hope nobody suffers from Epilepsy. Would hate to be the first person in history to mod a phone that causes Epilepsy by just trying to dial from it :)

Well if u can have all the buttons Red in color (red color of ferrari) with Image of Horse in Yellow background (just like the avatar of yours) overallping few keys that would be great. Believe me your dialer would be rage on the board, coz i just love the ferrari Idea of yours and I am sure everybody else would also like to showcase Ferrari on their Diamond to others.

PS: You can always have a cautionary notice that " I am not responsible for your Mobile Being Damaged due to installation of My Dialer or Either Damages to your Eyes getting Epilepsy" hehehe :p

Cheers

[xavierdemon]

It's not a bad idea, have actually been looking at the correct RGB levels for the offiicial Ferrari Red and Yellow and have found them. Am working on it :)

For those guys who have been trying the Red Bull Type 2 Tachi.zip in post 4. I did post this as a test, if anyone has actually installed it, could you please post a screen and some feedback on it's usability a visual quality.

Thanks in advance.

[acidbath5546]

Here is the screenshot for latest test...
Looks great...all buttons working corresctly..
It does make the number a little to transparent though.
But I have my Lumos Backlight jacked up pretty high...so not an issue for me...but when i adjusted my settings to auto adjust it was pretty difficult...
Let me know ur next test..
My girl likes it to :)

[acidbath5546]

Hey man...here is a random pic I found...thought it would look nice..

[vishalkishnani]

First of all, congratulations to Sebastian Vettel for the win yesterday :). (I'm just glad Felipa Massa managed to get some good points :))

REGARDS AND THANKS FOR SUCH A GREAT DIALER AND REQUEST THAT YOU FULL FILLED

[xavierdemon]

Thanks vishalkishnani,

I'll try but trying to do that Red and Yellow one was a right pain in the diffuser :). It's quite clear that the Prancing Horse does not like being in Yellow :). I'll see if I can added some kind of filter to it, to give it a more shiny effect a little later.

My personal favorite is the Ferrari V3 skin, the sample doesn't do it justice. It just looks awesome and the colours match the Voda theme on my phone perfectly :)

[MRFERRARI23]

Very nice job on these skins an making them cabs and even to work for the tachi dialer which most of us are using!!! they install an work perfectly??

[xavierdemon]

Thanks MRFERRARI23 :)

[vishalkishnani]

Sorry vishalkishnani,

Haven't had a lot of time this week, will see what I can do over the weekend and post something on Monday.

Update, have been looking at trying to combine Kessler's Red with the Prancing horse but just can't get it to look right, in fact it looks terrible. No more Ferrari updates for the time being me thinks.

[MRFERRARI23]

Thanks MRFERRARI23 :)

Your very welcome....BUT I want to say THANK YOU!! ;)
Im a HUGE Ferrari lover to say the least an for you to have made the v6 for tachi dialer made me :D
