I am surprised nobody has done this yet...but how about a Dialer that looks like the keypad on a public phone?
This is a screenie from one that was done for the iPhone. If I knew more about the structure of an APK, and how the images were, I would try it myself.

This sounds like a similar request someone made sometime ago, I'll have to look for it because I remember someone made it.
I could do it. I've done lots of phone skins back in my WinMobile days. But I have a great fear that if I did, it would catch on like the incredibly stupid 70's flip clock. Can you imagine anything more ignorant than making a beautiful and versatile digital device look like a completely mechanical and annoying piece of counter technology from the 60's and 70's. The only thing worse would be nixie tubes. Yes, I have seen the nixie tube clock skins. Thank God that did not catch on...
This would be cool =]
I actually looked into skinning the phone. It's not as simple as replacing some .png files. It would require quite a bit more work. Sorry dude, not for me.

Well put. Rest assured there are some of us who do appreciate your work and the work of the many others out there. In fact, it's largely due to many of those ungrateful children that I spend very little of my time on XDA any more. I found Twitter to be a better forum; I don't have to follow the people who have nothing helpful to say.

Thank you, I appreciate everyone's work, regardless of if it's my taste or not. The effort everyone puts in to do their own things, is what has made out little Android grow into what we can do today. Ive also found the same, I'd rather use twitter to find stuff out.
Okay, as the OP here, I think it is well within my right to say that this tread has veered WAY off course of its original intention, heh. It was not my intent to have a flame war start, even if it was mildly entertaining for a few minutes
Anyways, for the dev's that have been kind enough to contribute to this discussion: I have used 99% of the ROMs available for the G1, and I thank each and every one of you for your hard work. It is greatly appreciated by more people that I am sure you had ever imagined. Keep up the good work.
Now, back on topic. A refresher:

After a short, and forced, vacation I'm back! LOL Anyways.. My ELF rom will be recooked shortly. Primary support will STILL be at htc-devs.com (I like it there ). It is a totally different style of rom cooking.. Mostly relying on extrom and .cabs to allow for greater end-user flexibility. My rom won't be for everyone, but, it should allow for a nice option--unique from other roms on here.
Creativity is the name of this rom..

There ARE newbies like myself, who bricked their phones upgrading (I had a PC crash) and figured out how to fix it by going through the WIKI even though some create threads doesn't mean every newbie does it :>
n00bs are critical to the success of XDA-Developers. We tolerate and help them because our best developers were once n00bs. Devices are constantly changing and our "experts" constantly change too.
When m$ officially releases WM6 this forum will die back down to what it is 99% of the time. Then we will quietly begin taking apart the next generation of hardware and will start looking at the next generation of Windows Mobile.
The n00bs that we tolerated will drift away except those who can contribute. You will never find this on forums with zero n00b tolerance.
I dont think n00b has EVER turned into something useful, however once we were all newbies (yes there is a difference) who didnt know what we were doing, but wanted to learn how, not sit there demanding 'HI LOL GIVE ME GUIDE FOR TO PUT MW^ ON MY SONY ERICSSON NOW LOL' then five minutes later 'WHY IS NOONE REPLY YET? HELP ME NOW'.

In the strictest definition you are correct. I'm a half full glass kind of guy tho and I'm always thinking one will switch over. I'm sure that somewhere this has happened. More importantly, n00b bashing means that some newbies may be afraid to post and might just quietly slink away...
The great thing about the internet and the millions of subject based forums is that folks from all over the world can get together and share information on the subject of their choice. This free flow of information coupled with our fast paced lifestyle does lend to folks wanting to ask rather than search since they see it as the fastest way to get the information they seek. For the most part a gentle nudge in the right direction is all they need. The downside is that forums also provide a venue for those who lack knowledge to demonstrate their self perceived superiority anonymously. It's far easier and less costly to ignore a post that you think doesn't deserve a response. If you feel the need to reply you should respect the individuals who are providing the equipment, time, and bandwidth that makes the forum you are using possible. You do this by posting intelligent and informative responses.

Thoughts? With that said, I LOVE the Call button and Delete button on the screen too like the newest Cyan Dialer has... would hope to keep that in there.
I think I am being boycotted from XDA, none of my posts seem to get any response.
You may want to read the sticky in this forum. Android Themes have moved/merged into a single place where you may find all the theme makers.
Prash, thanks man... I know there is that section now, but I thought it was for actually finding themes to download... WTF is this section for now? I figured it was more of a request/Q&A for themes....
I'm NOT a fan of the new categories/
@s15274n
There is alot of work and effort that goes into making a theme.
That's why most of the kick-ass themes you DO SEE are updated versions of past themes where the developer has optimized their images, added a new this or that.
You've not been boycotted, but maybe your theme idea just has not generated enough interest.
There has to be some kind of interest in this old school phone dialer idea for it to even be considered.
Even with that, there is lots of work to be done.
I'd recommend that you read the stickies posted about HOW to make a theme. If you are on Windows XP or Vista, it should be pretty simple. It's an easy to follow set of long complex instructions.
If you should do it yourself, you guarantee that NO ONE IN THE WORLD has this kick ass theme.

glad to see that the people with a smaller number of posts actually know the stickies exist and know where to point people. maybe there is some hope for XDA.
and as far as the dialer goes. its mostly editing and changing png files. if you can find a good pic of a payphone dialer, you should be able to do this yourself or with the help of a theme maker.
Yo....If you find me a good pic of the old school dialer, I'll get this made up for you.

Hello
I just wanted to say thank you..
The new portal looks totally awesome
Whole site's new features are very usefull and it is very good
THANKS!!!
+1. Looks much better than before. Not to sound unappreciative, but can we maybe get a slicker looking skin for the vbulletin too?
I don't know if it is just me, of the portal looks like something out of engadget.com (Overrated and super biased towards everything Apple). I really don't like it that much although it is much cleaner and simple.
Just a personal opinion.

All opinions and suggesting are welcome. So if you have ideas to improve XDA porta...let us know
well the only thing I would change is the color scheme...
I kinda like black and blue...
and maybe the logo could be different...but apart from these, the new portal is totally awesome....very informative, I like the top threads and devices panel...really nice work guys!
Maybe you can make an XDA-developers logo contest...there sure are a lot of graphic artists here (I am myself)...so everyone can contribute and we can have some challenge and fun
What do you think?
Yeah, a logo contest would be great, there are indeed many talented people here. Also the design is a bit simplistic, not bad but could be better .
But do you really think Wordpress is good for such a big site, where there eventually should be user-submission, categorization and much more? Drupal or perhaps a custom CMS seems much better suited, I think.
Glad you guys generally like it. Coming up with a design to please as many people as possible was no easy task and we went through many versions. The front page is currently in beta mode, so not everything is working or looks right.
Our next project is a redesign of the forum to correspond with the new portal. That launch is a couple of weeks (or a bit more) away.
The new interface look wicked.
Thanks for all the work in throwing this together!
Knoc.
New Portal Launches Today

Great work guys! Tbh, the site was beginning to look ancient. Next a better forum skin
I guess with mass appeal comes mass market looks
My immediate suggestion is to lighten the main menu bar from the very dark brown to something more like the forums main menu color. It's easier on the eyes and brings the right amount of focus to it. Just like the pic attached.
I honestly don't like the look at all. It's too engadgety. I want this to be our OWN SITE! Something that includes everyone and not just Apple products.
Is it just me or doesn't the portal looks similar? Anyone?
Search bar, name font, menu links? Wow.
Maybe if we had a XDA-Developers logo contest, that'd be great. Really.
Please let us have a constest to design a better logo at least. Admins can set parameters such a colors and font size... etc...
New portal looks awesome especially compared to before! Great work....
+1 Plz dont mind i love xda so i want to be honest.... i also didnt liked the new theme or whatsoever.... it looks like a white page in which some thing is written not organised...
Plz change it and also the comment system extra that also should be changed i dont want it to be like other sites.... let xda be unique..
I think it looks great, and I also like the logo ... It's true, svetius, when tinkering with a site this huge, the # of opinions and disappointments you're going to get is huge.
Not that it matters re people's differing tastes and preferences, but for what it's worth, svetius, I'm also a UX Designer, and I think you've done a really clean job.
*BORAT* Whoa whoa whoa. How can I a get to this magical wizard portal?!
This is my 1st post, just wanted to say how useful this site is. Iv been educating myself about Android for the last 3 months, finally ordered myself a Hero today, i knew it was time to register.
1st thing I wanted to do was to say a big thanks but wasn't quite sure where to put it, thought this thread would be the most appropriate, appologies if there is an 'introductions' thread I missed.
Well im off to download all the tools i'l need for rooting and flashing roms now, hopefully my spanking new Hero will be here by Friday?
Wish me luck,... And once again, big up to all the mods and everyone who contributes to the forum.
Peace.

If it gets locked that's fine. I have posted this question in q/a and either no one can answer or haven't read it. I have researched. Posted. Questioned. Now expanding to try to lock down an answer.
I use Facebook flow to do batch pic uploads. Its in the market. Once you log into the app and you go o to gallery and select multiple pics you then select facebook floe to upload them. As far as the pics rotating on you yeah it is annoying. I just take all my pics In landscape mode so they don't come out sideways.
Sent From My Evo Killer!
Thanks for the app. I don't need it for my Evo as it does multiple uploads but my wife's epic can use that. But I am sure you and every other person that owns a non HTC phone would not only benifit but would be happy to have this fixed. Like u said...irritating. so much technology and this irritating issue that should be able to be corrected. Thanks for posting useful advice.

Is it just me, or does this just seem more like a "HTC is better" spammer? Either way, Most major problems are solved by apps, such as the Facebook app mentioned above. Plus, no one seems bothered by the portrait/landscape extra step. So that is why no developer is wasting their time with it. The developers on here work hard to fix the short comings of stock phones (Such as seriously lacking battery life) Which, with my a new ROM and Kernel, I had over 20 hours of battery life today while TRYING to kill my battery. So I would say the developers are doing a splendid job, and you just come off ungrateful.

Ungrateful for wanting a mms issue resolved within the software? Blah, you are officially talking out your ass. HTC spammers? Conspiracy theory's? Lmao. Just be nice to come up with a fix for said problem. Why HTC can and others can't beyond me but spamming as you say a brand like HTC. Well, that's the truth and I am correct in my statement and have verified on other phones. Did you not read my post where I praised xda? Notice my post said devs? I meant that in hopes of not receiving comments as such as I believe this is a feasible question. You sir discredit the notion that people might attain information via other forums.
Question still stands? Thanks in advance!
Simple answer: HTC added a feature. There's no bug in the others. HTC is tagging the photos to mark which ones are portrait, then displaying them rotated. The pictures, though, are actually still in landscape, just turned to the side as your phone is.

I guess I will just drop it. You say its fine. I say its not. I and all these people bought a phone and "thought" it sent them correctly.

It does send them correctly - it sends the image file as it exists on the device.
I understand that part. Then do you know a file I could reconfigure using root explorer to modify?
Cmon, save the world. Birth kittens and help me fix it.

You would have to modify the MMS app itself.
K. Maybe enough people will see this and pitch in. Still waiting for kittens

Why not try some other mms apps in the market? While the devs here often help when they can, it its usually because many people want something changed, you are the only one who seems to need this purely cosmetic feature. On top of that, this site is for learning and developing. If no one wants to use their time to make you an app, their are plenty of resources for you to do it yourself. Or show a high need for the feature to entice the developers. At the moment you are the only one who cares.
