HRC Touch - different keyboard layouts? - General Topics

Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy an HTC touch and I found out that there are 2 different type of keyboards in the windows (for writing sms etc.)
The first one is the standart one, white buttons with a black letter inside
the second one, that I am interested in, is this one:

you can also see it in video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkJR5JVDGcs
So I found that this second one could be downloaded (like here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-touch-keyboard-v1-0.html). But I was just wondering - is there any software version I can use for my ROM to have it running stable and smooth
THanks and sorry if my question is not for the right place

Why not this keyboard instead:

That one's for the Kaiser, but I'm sure it'll work on the HTC Touch as well.

thanks, I guess I will give it a try

PocketMusic HTC kaiser/touch skin

Altough the HTC audio manager is not too bad it is missing some functionality. Especially assigning functions to hardware buttons which work while the musicplayer is running in the background. That's why I'm still using PocketMusic. Only problem: I couldn't find a suitable skin to use with the HTC Kaiser/Touch black windows mobile theme. So I made one. Vertical and landscape modes are working. Let me know what you think....
Unzip and copy to device: \Program Files\PocketMusic\PMSkins
Any previews?
Thank you very much!
this is how it turned out:
Thank you very much !
it is very good!

How to change the default keyboard skin

Does anybody know how to change the default keyboard skin into a colored one. I found an example (and way how to do it) but that's for the WM2003 environment.
The solution I'm looking for is for Windows Mobile 6.
Who can help me (and maybe more people who are reading this) ?
The url of the example: http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5519
what makes you think it's different from 2003?
here are some that works just fine for wm5

It's not what I think, it's what I notice
It doesn't work on my HTC Touch with WM6
Wow, thanks really nice looking hacked-default keyboard. Anyone can get it to work in HTC Touch or WM6 yet?

Original HTC Polaris Home black screen..??

Could somebody paste here the original HTC Polaris/Cruise Black screen, please...!!! I have a o2 Orbit 2 and the ROM doesn't offer the option for the black screen at the today's home. Instead of that, has a horrible Sunrise Screen which uses black menus
THX in advance

Do you mean this screen? It's not the fully original.

THX isv51, but didn't work, I have no option to choose a black theme on the today screen and when i choose the standard Sunrise screen from o2 and I take another picture (HTC grey) for the background, just look horrible.
Hi,
Don't know if it's of any use but I found a cab file in the windows folder on the TC. HTC_Home_PPC_Blue.CAB If this is the file that runs during customization might be helpful. If you're interested I could upload it for u (not sure about the 'blue' part though).
Do you want the Htc.tsk ?

I don't know about Metanol but I would love the HTC.tsk (I think).
I have an O2 XDA Orbit (i.e. the Artemis-based one not the new Orbit 2 Polaris-based device) and I also like the black colour scheme that HTC use. I've flashed my device to the official O2 WM6 ROM and I don't have (or need) the fancy HTC tabbed Today screen but what I would really like is to be able to change the colours on the default WM6 Crossbow theme to the HTC black colours. I think that if I just install a suitable tsk then this will do it won't it?
If the above is correct then please do post the HTC.tsk and hopefully that might solve Metanol's problem too.

HTC_Home_PPC_Blue.CAB
qtek_metanol I think this is relevant
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357864&highlight=HTC_Home_PPC_Blue.CAB
I will upload the HTC_Home_PPC_Blue.CAB in a couple of hours.
Sorry friends, I really forgot that thread, well, actually I have found the file that i was looking for, the HTC default.tsk.
I'll post it here for some other Orbit 2 users who want to get the simple original black HTC Home screen and so get the possibility to switch off the stardard Sunrise Home Screen.
And so looks the HTC default.
Hi qtek_metanol - i am new to this site and i just recently purchased an O2 Orbit 2 in UK. Managed to find this old thread.
I too would like to get the HTC home screen rather than the O2 theme. Can you let me know if all i need to do is add the HTC default.tsk file to my device under Windows directory to get the HTC home setup. Would this then give me a choice on my Today menu where i can select between O2 and HTC Home?
Finally can you confirm this won;t affect my original settings on my device and if i want to remove it all i need to do is delete the HTC default.tsk file and that would set my phone back to as it was originally?
Thanks
forgot to add that i tried loading the 6 button version and had lots of trouble with that hence i thought maybe the original HTC home (4 button) from the Polaris/Touch Cruise would work better on my Orbit 2. Can you confirm also this is the original Home screen you get on the TC?
Cheers
Hello,
I have a HTC P3600 and after i make a hard reset the screen goes all black, i already try flash the phone but don't result.
If i try to make a hard reset again the screen shows "press ok to make hard reset" after that goes black again.its compleatin %100 but when i want start it its still black screen just light working =mad:
So i think not display problem.
Any solution?

Touch pro keyboard .cab

Anyone have a keyboard cab for the touch pro that you can put on the fuze so you can use the custom roms and have the correct keyboard layout?

Um, what? Why would you want to use an HTC ROM (slowww) when the AT&T ROM is fast? Doesn't make sense, but no, I haven't seen one made yet.
I have a pre-release fuze that I would like to load a custom TP rom on, but I would need a cab file that switches the keyboard to the fuze layout. Something tells me there will be more people looking for it when the fuze is released in the near future. I dont know how easy it would be to extract it from a touch pro rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
keyboard cab to use AT&T Fuze ROM on HTC Touch Pro
What about the reverse? does anyone have a keyboard cab to use an HTC Touch branded phone wtih the AT&T Fuze ROM? Or will this work without a keyboard fixup cab?

Trust me, the AT&T ROM is faster than even custom HTC ROMs, but if that's what you wanna do I can't stop you, nor can I help you. I'm sure someone will be able to help eventually, but considering very few people have had the pre-released Fuze, nobody's going to be able to extract it. You may have to wait until release until someone can get the information, or ask someone how you could do it yourself. Good luck.
I have both the fuze and the TP. would be happy to extract it myself if somone could give me a quick lesson. DOnt know if its hidden some where in a cab file or if you have to create your own. If anyone could help I would sure appreciate it.
I ended up creating a fuze keyboard layout for aekmap. It will work until a better alternative surfaces. I thought Id post it if anyone else is interested. Instead of the function key just double press any duall function key to get the alternate value, and the function key is the caps lock key. I hope when the fuze is released a keyboard cab file will surface.
any updates on this? tried doing it myself, but failed... don't know what i'm doing. last major thing with custom rom on my fuze
If you download the file above and the get aekmap (They have a free version) , it works, but the keyboards a little slow, a fuze keyboard cabfile would be a much better option, but until the fuze surfaces on AT&T I doubt there will be to much interest in this.
I am looking for Touch Pro keyboard cab also. I cooked a rom with PPCKitchen and it only has Diamond keyboard and Touch HD keyboard. Diamond keyboard locks up in 123 mode after a few uses and Touch HD keyboard has the annoying UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT line. Does anybody know if that line can be turned off under OPTIONS?
Thanks!
In energy rom there is a program in utilities called keyboard selector and does the job fine. Although i tried to make it easier for you and search for the program and could not find it.
Its called ProFuze and his site is www.rollingtriangle.com but the title says not here. So i'm not sure where u can get it.
Possibly PM NRGZ86 for it

M2D dialpad without rest of M2D

Hi,
HTC touch HD and other recent HTC phones have a very nice dialpad that's much better than standard WM6.x one.
Is there a way to install just that dialpad without everything else from M2D? I'm looking everywhere for it, but all I can find is ROMs that include it, but not a separate application.
Thanks
P.S. my phone is QVGA E-Ten x600

Two words of advice:
1) Make sure you install the version that is compatible with your device
2) Back up your current configuration anyway!
