Keyboard to big - Touch2 Themes and Apps

when i'm chattin' or when i type in a msg it seems that the keyboard takes to much space, i think that 65% of the display is taken by the keyboard, i want a smaller one !!!
help ? i have searched for keyboards but i only found bigger ones
thanks !

Try to install something else.
On all my HTC phones, including MEGA, I use "Resco Keyboard". Works fine for me.

i tryed PDAMedia Keyboard, and now i will try Resco to.
thanks!

better view on your screen
i whish the built in the block recognizer but unfortunlally the did not. If you know a wa to install it, it would give you a clear view on your screen since its not so big. By the way if you find a method to install that let me know. thanx

Is native keyboard available?
Hi,..
Just bought Touch 2...i feel HTC default keyboard is big (but its really nice for few apps i use!)
Is there anyway that we install the windows mobile default keyboard? or any registry tweaks to make the default keyboard appear on the options list?

try fingerkeyboard, its a bit smaller, i like the big chunky ones personally.

Try PCM key board...worked great for me on WM 6.1. Not sure how it goes with WM 6.5.
Included a few nice skins aswell, try which ones you like. Extract and put these in skin folder. You can choose various key board configurations and combine with skins.
Definitely smaller ones available.

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 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?

Program Launcher...

Hello everybody.
I own a Touch Diamond 2 (WM 6.5 stock ROM).
I am looking for an application launcher that looks and behaves like the program tab.
As far as I know it is not possible to add an additonal program tab to the HTC Sense (Manila 2.1).
I found somewhere a trick saying it is possible to add buttons to the program launcher, adding additonal keys in the registry to the standard 24.
Actually, you can create the buttons, unfortunately they do not work...
Am I missing something?
Thank you very much for your suggestions and help.

[Skin WAD2] Windows Illumination Ultimate

Hello everybody !
I present my very latest theme : WIndows Illumination Ultimate !
More Screens and movies on my website !
​
WOW... This is sooooooo cool... But I want to ask if this skin would override our HTC sense? Or is it that the skin only activates if we open the program but if we quit it will still be the HTC sense?
excellent! with black and red? ...
Fantastic work!
Do you plan to convert the skin to english anytime?
That would be incredible !
Thanks for your comment
@ LittleMerc, yes of course ! when you using my skin, disable HTC sence and after if you don't want using my skin, unistal Wisbar advance desktop 2 and enable HTC sence
@ matriarchsira, yes, but it's so easy to translate in english : apply on the screen a long push and clic on "author mode" now, apply a long push on the word and them "propriété", here you can change the word, use Google translate to help you, it's no dificult
thanks
Simply, WOOOOOW!
Absolutely fantastic.
Dont know if I dare change that much. I hate to mess to much up on my phone.
Will it do that?
Anyway it looks fantastic!
Thanks you
I don't undestand "I hate to mess to much up on my phone." sorry

I tried it last night and it works great on my phone!
It's just like having a mini pc on my palm.
Thanks Eagledig!

vessk0 and zulu90, sorry but it's work corretly, can you describe your error message with moe details
I like the skin, but dosent support landscape right?
hmm
i really like what i'm seeing there. the idea is great.
but one thing. is it finger-friendly enough to use it with the hd2. some buttons are looking quite small... any experience?
Quite brilliant i can say!I intalled with no problem! Very very nice work mate!
But only one thing...even thought a 4.3inch capasitive screen without a stylus is making the hole theme unusable very little buttons that
even after 10 tapings you cannot press the button!Scroll bars doesn't work in the windows.
Allthought very good job looks great!
Thansk all !
Me i use it with my finger without problem it's a habit.
No landscape mode, only portrait, sorry.
the Scroll bars are a fake, justfor the style
Does it work with MaxManilla?
how do i change the language of it once applied?
i need to change it to english from the french titling...
Nice, but
I think your add on will have more of a following with the traditional ppc community if it had a more pc feel, more conservative touch which made ppc's ppc's and not apples.
You are onto something.....

A ROM with a different purpose ?

At present I'm using trhe newest Energy ROM. Nice work.
I just wondered if there was any ROMs made for easy of visual use.
I'm a but long in the eye now and find using the phone sometimes a strain on my eyes. Age and all that
The Energy ROM is very good but I probably only use about 1/20th of the apps and stuff it loads. Some of the ones it installs I don't even know what they do
I would love to see a ROM made for vision clarity, bigger fonts and more simple but just as useful front screens.
Is there any of the cooks that can advise me on this ?
Thanks
maybe it's not a rom, but a software that you need, like point ui : http://www.wm6software.net/utilities/pointui_1_5.html
not the lame 2.0 which tries to do exactly the same as touchflo, spb etc, but the 1.5, which was very very eye and finger friendly, especially on small screens like the one on touchpro, with big icons, big texts, big lists etc..
so can I get a ROM with none of this HTC touch slide screen and Sense, maybe just a really basic front end.
well I've installed that app, started it and all I get is a blue blob start up screen than nothing happens.
Rom
If you are looking for a simple rom with a good user interface I usually go back to the basic Euro Touch pro rom. I then add a few apps by cab that I need but I also add SPB Mobile shell to it. Retains all the hardware funtionality. I of course turn off TF3D.
SPB can replace your start menu and for bigger fonts go to start\settings\system\screen and enable cleartype and adjust your font size.
When I install this rom I usually install the following apps for basic and a little advanced user functionality:
SPB Mobile shell 3.5 (UI) -Worth the money-
Advanced config 3.3 (changing pagepools and storage locations)
Total Commander 2.5 (self-explanatory)
GPSTest 1.04 (for GPS locking)
SKtools (easy tweaking and cleaning-latest version-I bought it at pocketgear.com)
Bing (directions, searching, Navigating etc.)
Lumos (latest version for backlight control)
Touch Response (latest version-simulated haptive feedback)
Microsoft MyPhone (Secondary sync)
Of course it is all based on taste. Just thought I would stick that out there for ya.
Font size is at its largest, isn't enough
I have to say out of whats on the phone with this energy ROM i think I only use 3 things, and one is now missing in the new ROM.
Phone
Wi-Fi Router
Notes and Tasks.
Google Maps
Facebook
SMS
Freecell
Mostly hooked up to my PC with MyMobile so I can use my big screen. never browse now as the screen is to small.
Just looked at thr Captains basic ROM

Why don't you try my Titanium ROM then ? It's pretty basic, IMO
Trouble I have is reading through all the threads on a ROM, theres just to much old rubbish per thread. I can't filter out whos going on about which version and which ROM is which.
Pruning should be compulsory
They get all wrapped up in tech speak and CHt HTc DDL ROM RAM NND GGH OOH, which doesn't mean a thing to me, or probably a lot of people
Ill try yours out now
What else would I need. I want the Wi-Fi and a few tools but none of the
ArkSwitch ( no idea what it is)
Backup Fav ( never use Fav to start with)
CHT ( turned that off straight away)
Shake and whatever ( why)
World Card ( Useles)
XDA UC ( no idea)
BINg
well you get the picture
There was a good simple task manager in the last ROM but its missing now
And I liked the page with all short-cuts to you most used apps. It looked like the iPhone, very handy to use.
TAEL roms are pretty good
OK I'm lost wheres the Energy Titanium please

TAEL, is that a ROM type or the maker of the ROM ?
Thanks
Rom
Yes TAEL is the chef of the rom.
I am currently using captains manilla 2.1 rom. Pretty basic uses the old TF3D type interface. but still has newer features. The only thing missing would be the facebook app. but that can be installed via cab. Seems to be simple enough yet has plenty of tools to get the job done. It has the simple HTC task manager as well.
Does Pointui.Home.1.5a.Wm5. work on it
Ahh I see it says WM5 I wonder if that why it doesn't work on mine.
Trying the Cpts one, systems font seems smaller and I can't seem to find any O2 UK set up cab anywhere
Font size???
It does enlarge through screen settings but I can try and find a magnifier that could swipe across the screen. Of course most of the chefs have knowledge enough to make a "handicapped" rom as microsoft sells it in windows. (Magnifier , speech etc.)
What would be good is an App like the iPhone one that turns the phone into a magnifier. I could deff use that when I was out to read labels and small stuff.
Using
TAELROM_v4.23569_STANDARD_21MAY10
Cpts one I couldn't get the O2 settings for.
i have found something that might help you http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/WinMobile-Magnifier-27412.shtml
Well I gone and brought an iPhone, please don't shout , Only way I can see if it is suitable for me is hands on.
Probably wrong place to ask but anyone recommend a decent iPhone forum ?
Thanks
Still got the HTC so all is not lost

Diamond 2 Disabling Fancy Stuff

I've started some serius programming for WM, and I'm kinda having enough of this HTC sense and all the modded WM apps. HTC TD2 is a good platform, it has lot of RAM good CPU etc. why does it has to be slow? I mean it is now kinda like the Omnia 2, lot of extra stuff makes it worse. (I'm using original 6.5 rom) I disable HTC Sense, it made the device whole lot faster, and it disabled some of the fancy extra menus, modded email stuff, calendar etc. which is nice, but some of them are still really annoying (eg. SMS interface, big font in File Explorer etc.) I also changed the default font size, it helped (FileExplorer) but the softkey menus are still pretty damn big. is there any way to change the size of it? maybe RegEdit? Oh yeah, i haven't talked about the full screen notification area stuff, the volumecontrol etc. anyways, if you have any ideas, or you had the same problem, or maybe you have a clean rom for TD2 then please comment it down below!
Hello mrSAJT,
First I was using SoftKey Applet to edit the softkeys. Do not forget to download and check all applications mentioned on the left. Especially Task Manager!!
Now though I'm using NueNoBar to completely remove the softbar (WM6.1), instead I'm using the hardware keys remapper!
Standard Volume sucks, therefore I'm using SetVolume instead.
I'm not too happy with the stanard SIP, thus I started using FingerKeyboard2 and that's a relief!
4 Specialized settings I use: Advanced Configuration Tool
Standard F(ile) Explorer sucks too, though with several extentions its getting betta! See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6420813#post6420813
Extra camera modes
HTC coloured top bars (You need to install SDKCert.cab if you've not already got it).
HTC Coloured Top Bar.cab
or
HTCzar's HTC Iconbar.cab -=[ Screenshot ]=-
Disable push internet (and save 10 MB RAM)
WMLongLife is an automatic 2G/3G band-switching solution. Though BETA, I've had no problems with it @all!
Hope this helps,
Senax
