Who has different dialers?

[Gix1k]

I'm thinking about changing. I've seen the rotary, retro, blue and red. Any other cool ones out there?

Here's the one I'm currently using:

Woah there buddy. How'd you manage that?

Woah there buddy. How'd you manage that?

1. Assuming you already have Winterboard installed, Launch Cydia.

2. Tap Sections, then tap Themes (Apps).

3. Download the custom dialer(s) you want (in my case Iron Man 2 Dialer).

4. Close Cydia, then launch Winterboard.

5. Navigate to your newly-downloaded dialer, tap to activate.

6. Quit Winterboard; iPhone will automatically re-spring.

7. Enjoy!

Does having themes or different dialers slow down the iphone or use more battery?

I want that one, CBR. Got it now.

Retro Dialer is cool until you actually use it to dial a number...

(it looks much darker than in this JPEG for some reason)

The dialed numbers are very difficult to read - especially when driving
(which is why I got rid of it). Otherwise a very nice dialer, indeed.

Me know how to hack

I kinda meant what is the title of that specific dialer in Cydia.

Maybe you should check your version. When i installed mine a couple months ago the version i had used a darker background for the number display. White is easier to see with a dark background. Never had a problem with mine.

You must have an older version. I checked mine and it was 2.2.
I deleted it and re-downloaded, and it was again 2.2.

It sucks to have to strain to see the numbers - back to Ironman 2!

^ I took that background .png from the retrodialer package, darkened it in Photoshop and resent it to the phone. The white text shows up much better.

I had what I think is a great idea: use a dialer font that looks like those old Avery clicky label makers, like how they used to put the phone numbers on pay phones. I was able to replace the numbers in the dialer font, but some pref turned the font white. Tried to find the entry in that .plist file, and gave up after a while...

Great idea!

Here's my quick attempt at something better - I'll fine-tune it later...

Iron Man now even more menacing...

Following Nanook's idea, I made a Levels adjustment to Ironman Dialer to
make the numbers a bit more readable, and I think it looks better overall
(compare with original in post #2).
