Default vista dialpad for Vista

I meant Vista Dialpad for Mogul
Ok, since I didn't hear from PD, I hope it is Ok to post this. Here is how you can have a dialer like this for your Mogul (graphics taken from this Suite...credits of course goes to PD)

1. Install Paul's dialer from pdaphonehome
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...heme-here.html
Soft reset.

2. Make the following registry changes (backup if you want):

If any of these variables do not exist then just create it (DWORD).

(hides Digits text)
HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin/Dialer/Portrait (Landscape)/dialbutton/MajorFlags = 1024(dec) or 400(hex)

(hides abc's letters text)
HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin/Dialer/Portrait (Landscape)/dialbutton/MinorFlags = 1024(dec) or 400(hex)

(hide Call history text)
HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin/Dialer/Portrait (Landscape)/verbbutton/textFlags = 1024(dec) or 400(hex)

Remember to repeat the above registry edits for Landscape as well as noted in parentheses above.

Again, if any of these variables do not exist then just create it (DWORD).

Edit: If you updated to the latest Sprint ROM, then you need to change one more value:
(fix voicemail icon on new rom)
HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA\EnableV oicemailIcon = 0

optional:
(change text color on Progress Page)
HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin/Progress/Portrait (Landscape)/verbbutton/textColor = FFFFFF (hex)

Also, in my experience, registry changes takes some time (like 15-30 sec) to actually overwrite. Don't soft reset or close your registry editor right away. That's why i put this step second instead of third. If you see that the changes you made revert back or weren't created after a soft reset, the reason is you didn't give it time to "write" yet.


3. Download the zip file below. Extract and copy the files to your device root directory called \Phoneskin which was created by Paul's dialer. Overwrite when prompted.

Soft reset and that's it!

Conceivably, steps 2 and 3 could be made into a cab, but I don't know how to make cab's.

Also, if PD wants me to remove this, I will grant his wish, but just figure he would appreciate helping out with the CDMA crowd.

BTW, if you are a sprint mogul owner and have not installed Paul's dialer, keep in mind it does not affect 911, smartdial, or ##***# functions. It is the BEST dialer out there for Mogul and the only dialer you should ever try to install if you want to keep these functions.

Lastly this is only for Sprint Mogul users. Don't know how it will work with other Titan/ppc6800 users. This is NOT for Sprint Touch users. Instructions for that is in the suite's folder included in his most recent update download (on the first page).
