Sprint native Big Button Dialer and theme here

This dialer is native to Sprint Mogul phones and will give you "Big Button" dialing without breaking any phone functions like arrows, 911, etc.

This has been tested pretty extensively, and I thank everyone that took the time and the risk of installing and gave me excellent feedback. This has not been tested on Telus or any other Mogul phone, only Sprint. This dialer uses the blue and silver colors of the Touch device, including the Touch CommManager and Touch theme. I am attaching the Big Button theme here also, as it complements the dialer perfectly. This dialer can be skinned easily by all you skinners out there.

This can be removed via Add/Remove programs, so if you don't like it, just uninstall and you will be back to the stock dialer.

For the dialer, unzip, copy the .cab to your device using ActiveSync or whatever, run the .cab. For the theme, unzip, copy the .tsk to your "My Documents" folder on your device, go to settings/today and choose Big Button Theme.

Enjoy,
-Paul

Update 1: The new voicemail button screwing up the skins is a new feature that Sprint added. To turn this feature off change this regkey.

HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA
EnableVoicemailIcon <-- set this to "0"

Reboot. Skins work again.

Update 2: Updates for Newer Sprint Roms with icon on button 1
Big Button Dialer: I have update the skins to work with the new Sprint Icon on button 1 by hidding this new mail icon button. I have also hidden all the blended text on "Call History" and "Erase" button.

Touch Dialer: I have also created a "Touch" dialer that hides all of the numbers and text; it draws the dialer using background images. This seems to be the popular way of skinning now currently, so it should improve the compatibility with all of the current big button skin generators out there, just change the background. All text is hidden, except for the back arrow image and the call history image. I have a "Touch" background that paints the numbers on via the background. This version of the "Touch" does not include my company logo, so it is generic. (For those that installed the one with my company logo)

Very cool. I love the Touch themed dialer and if this doesn't sacrifice functionality or stability, it's a winner. Thanks for all your hard work!

The theme listed is the standard "gun metal" black theme from the HTC Touch, so it's nothing new there. Thanks for the updated dialer though.

The space at the top is for the numbers to appear as you type them, if you have SmartDialing turned off. With SmartDialer on, it is not used, but with SmartDialer off, you must have this space to see what numbers you are typing.
