ive loaded it into Apps/Mobilephone but its not working.

also i never had to delete an original one cuz it was never there to be deleted.???? what am i missing/ what can i do to fix this?

what firmware are you on. because if its 1.1.3+ youll need more some more files to be able to replace your dialer. Such as mobilephonepackedimages.artwork, default_dialer.png, delete.png, delete_pressed.png, addcontact.png, addcontact_pressed.png, callglyph_big.png, etc

im using 1.1.4

yep, like I said. you need a dialer thats compatible with 1.1.3/4. lots more files are needed than just one.

[SevenThirteen]

any chance you could put the files in a zip for me or tell me where i can find the ones i need?

i dont even know what theme your trying to use. lol. Anyways, updating a dialer theme requires a lot of tweaking. you would have to unpack the .artwork file on your phone and edit the files manually with a little crop/copy/paste magic.
you can use iphoneshop to unpack the .artwork file and then use your favorite graphic program to edit the files. Then repack the .artwork file. If your theme has delete, addcontact, call buttons you will have to edit delete.png, delete_pressed.png, addcontact.png, addcontact_pressed.png and callglyph_big.png inside mobilephone.app

ummm. what are you talking about? I thought you were trying replace your dialer theme? What exactly are you trying to do?

[SevenThirteen]

im trying to put a picture behind my keypad on the phone phone for when i dial numbers. to my understanding from the tutorials ive read all i ahd to do was make the image and rename it BarDialer_sel.png and upload it to Applications/MobilePhone

That wont work on your firmware. Its still possible to make a custom dialpad but it will require you to unpack MobilePhonePackedImages.artwork and edit a file or two. Then re-pack it and copy it back on your phone. Use iphoneshop to unpack the .artwork file. Theres a guide on how to use it on this forum.

heres a link to iphoneshop: http://iphoneshop.googlecode.com/fil...neShop-0.6.jar

also: don't forget to make a backup of your original files!
