[FingerKeyboard 2.1][Layout][WVGA] LARGER Portrait Keyboard Layout - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

For those of you fed up with the crappy HTC keyboard on the HD2, try this custom layout for FingerKeyboard 2.1. It has much larger keys than the standard HTC SIP layout, and therefore much easier to type.
Backup the following files under \Program Files\FingerKeyboard\Skins\ before copying the layout files into that directory if you wish the keep the original FingerKeyboard size layout.
skin-02-wvga-port-00-types.txt
skin-02-wvga-port-01-digits.txt
skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng.txt
This layout is currently only for English, but you can easily modify the default FingerKeyboard layout files to work by updating the relevant skin-02-wvga-port-01-<language>.txt with the same numbers as in the skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng.txt file.
I didn't create this layout (found it over @ ppcgeeks originally), so don't complain to me if there are bugs Credits go to ReefHunter49

I'd like em too plz

Those are Brian's Taskbar icons. There's several variations of them, so just do a google search in XDA for "Brian's Taskbar" and you should find a huge bunch of links. Don't have the original link lying around unfortunately.

Thanks. Installed and customised (love the customisable short-cuts) and working really well..... except.... XT9 only works in portrait and not landscape???
Thanks for sharing though - I'm very happy....

Problem pushing letter next to space in landscape
I realy enjoyed this keyboard, but I have a problem while using it in landscape mode. The 2 letters(in my language "b" and "n") which are next to space I am unable to push or it is very hard to find th small area where these letters possible to push. All the others working great. I tried to find a solution or to find someone who has the same experiance but nothing. I am the only one with this?

@vanzelvoul
this is the link to the Brian's BW original taskbar thread. Please be careful about the taskbar version you will install, it's OS version dependent:

Unhide the bar in landscape mode. That should help

Beware,I disabled the previous HTC Home .
will this one be as default in the new rom?
no, i like the standard htc home, but you can install this..why not
Many thanks Michy
Works with Igo8
Some feedback for you Michy.
I tried your R3 version and couldn't use Igo with the htc home you had so I flashed back to your 2.04d which I was very happy with.
I just installed this cab and can report that Igo8 does work and it seems with a little more free memory.
I like the large clock and pics in the contacts pane and had used a htc home based on touch commander but found it used too much resources.
Is it possible to put this in a version of your R4 rom when you release it
thanks lakeman
thanks michy,excellent work !
thanks michy
For other language version of ROM You will have change numbers in name of MUI and XML files acording to proper language code . Form Polish ROM's change for 415
big thanks michy!!!
thank you all for ur compliments
Customization
Is it possible to customize like yhe other one?
Thanks very good
yes if you have/make theme files.
top/bottom bars and fonts?
Hey Michi, thanks for all your work. What theme are you using to get the top/bottom bars and the nice small fonts. I'm using your Diamond VGA from the latest ROM and the font is too big, have to scroll through calendar. I want my screen just like your screenshot in the first post here.
try to set realvga to 96 dpi. you can find it in control panel.
Thanks, Michi. Looks Great with 96!. Phone display not so much. I'll keep surfing. I owe you a beer for the rom though.
because you checked Disable phone skin. You have to uncheck it and reapply 96dpi mode.
michyprima,
Don't mean to sound like such a Newbie but is the Cab file you posted above (or below depending how you sort) the rom that can be flashed onto a 7510? Or was this intended to be used on the 7500 or 7501 only?
Regards,
Q
it is a cab of the x7510 big clock. Can be installed on all vga devices.
I've installed successfully, however I can't select the city at weather page and add the icons. Anyone know the problem?
Is using WM 6.0 problem?
Thanks for any kindly help

Showaco reSTART on HTC HD2

Hi,
I discovered a nice application : Showaco reSTART. It allows you to rearrange the start menu, add custom icons to folders or applications...
However, I can't make it work on my HD2. Anyone else has the same problem ? A component is missing... maybe it's not compatible with HTC Sense...
More about Showaco reSTART
Thanks

Haven't tried installing it on the HD, but there's better programs avaliable to do exactly the same things. Try JSPAProgramManager, JWMD IconChanger.
restart works fine with my Hd2. possibly you don't have .net compact framework 3.5? if this is the case then take a look at the "hints tips things you may not know" thread in the leo area.
I've the 3.7 ..

Hmm. Only thing i can think of. You have edited the registry to use 3.7 instead of 2.5 yes?
What errors do you get?
Did you have a english or france rom? Because i had a dutch rom and it aint working on that rom because in english the startmenu was under windows\start menu and in the dutch rom under windows\startmenu (without the space). Just checked: Restart is starting on my hd2. I also have .net compact framework 3.5

You're the man, the start menu has to be created as 'Start Menu'.
Many thanks
personally i think JWMD IconChanger is much much better and more user friendly, you gotta try it to see for yourself!

[REQ] Analog Clock without instaling Max manila ??

Hi my friends
is it possible that without instaling Max manila, we have analock clock in home tab ?
for example, a simple cab file that add analog clock in home tab.
try this from grzegorz10 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544422
it installs a small button on the top right of ur home screen which lets you easily change from flip, to analogue, to flip & analogue combined.
you can install any skins for both clocks too!
Is there one without BG4all cooked into it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5196382&postcount=33
Wow. thanks. This will work on 2.5? You are awesome Man!
Any chance you know what mode9 edit would be required to put the Call History back on the 2.5 home screen? I have been trying to get it figured and am having a little trouble with some of mode9 comparisons to get it. I know MaxManila will do it also. Which is where I found some of the mode9 edits necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work!
****EDIT****
Ok, so this works great. Thank you very much. However, I have been trying real hard to modify the files myself to install without BG4all as well. Except I would love to be able to leave the ability to use HDwalls for my wallpaper. Is this just not possible to do with the clock array? That would be the ideal setup, in my opinion. The clock array with HDwalls and Call History would also be a huge bonus! I do not want to use MaxManila to achieve this either. Any insight on how I could accomplish this, by modifying the mode9 or otherwise? Thank you in advance for any input on this. I greatly appreciate it.
Two New Edited Modes 1&2
these are only beta test versions for the clock arrays WITHOUT BACKGROUND4ALLTABS

[THEME] Black & White Slider Icons (standart icons for Leo's Manila)

Hello. There are many cool themes out there, but I found a lack of themes to change the slider icons of Manila. I searched everywhere for this, but I couldn't find it so I made it myself.
Since the homescreen of Manila is pretty much black & white but those colourful icons really bugged me especially with that terrible green, I really wanted those stock icons to be black & white too. I changed the icons and made a *.cab for this.
Feel free to use this theme if you like it. Note that it will only change the icons of the slider nothing else.
SAMPLES

(for more samples take a look at the attachment)
INSTALLATION & DEINSTALLATION
=========================
1) Copy the *.cab to your storage card and execute it on your phone.
2) Install it to your device space, not to your storage card!
3) Soft-reset your device.
4) Enjoy!
To uninstall just normally deinstall this application via list of installed applications where you deinstall programs. The Icons will be like they were before again.
I hope you like it.
lovely, thanks. i've been searching for this for a while. personally, i don't like those colorful stock tabs, too.
thanks and i'll give it a try
Sorry. But I had already put myself available to icons!

Oh, sorry about that. I pretty much searched for hours on the leo boards, but somehow didn't find these. I used the rest of the day to find out how to extract the files from the device and edit them. :/
But since your cab seems to change more things than mine, maybe not all of my work was in vain.

Everytime the retracted slider with these funny coloured buttons showed up my eyes wanted to blast out so they needn't to see this anymore ^^
Works fine on Jackos S3 (WM6.5) with CHT2.0.0
very nice.

stock in grey looks good.

[Q] What softkeybar and what font?

Hello all!
A few days ago i came acros two things that caught my attention
1. a font that i absolutely love
2. a 6.5.x softkeybar, i'm absolutely not good at finding those things so could you please help me with that?
the softkeybar:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

use the forum "search" function and you'll find tons of this stuff
about fonts these are the most used here and here
for the softkey bar you have to install a new WM skin , too many to link here and depends on your taste
here some classics from Artemis ROM thread

Search i did use and i did found tons of the stuf (overkill), but not the one i'm looking for and i hoped maybe someone could give me a name of the things (if i have that it's quite easy to find) or post links like you did
for the font i'll check kd-font, haven't checked that app yet and for the artemis skins: I am an artemis user
oh and thanks for your help and time, i appreciate it
it looks like this one, and btw you should search for taskbar not softkey bar, gives better results, also maybe it's only me but it seems that search via google (using site:forum.xda-developers.com paremter) works better than the xda one

taskbar is the upper one, so it won't give better results but totally different
the requested "softkeybar" is related to winmo skin

you think gewoonjan meant the bottom one, I assumed it was about the upper, but reading again I think you may be right
thanks for your efford to reply here, but jjollyroger is right, i do mean the bottom one of the bars
I use an android skinned taskbar and to finish my phones transformation a bit more i'd love to have that font 0=)
guess i just have to try and pm the person who made the screenshot or pm dinik, and my guesses are that there's never gonne be a reply on my question :'D
anyways thanks for your time and suggestions!
Hi Gewoonjan,
I think this is the softkeybar you're looking for, I got no idea who the author is so credit to everyone who deserves. Just rename it properly and overwrite it in /Windows directory, I hope you like it.
Unfortunately I can't help you about the font, it is a nice one and I wish to have it too, so if you find it please don't forget to share it with us
Best regards.
