I've flashed my GSM Touch Pro to Captain's Special WM 6.5 ROM which I like very much but I really miss the phone keypad layout soft-keyboard that HTC provided with WM 6.1 (ABC on one key, DEF then next etc combined with T9)
The current WM 6.5 rom had the HTC Touch soft full keyboard but I find it hard to type accurately on especially on the move.
Is there anyway of enabling/installing the phone keypad layout?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have just received a replacement Tytn II which now has 6.1. I was hoping to look at the Microsoft Sliding Panel home screen, but cant seem to find it. Am I right in saying the Orange 6.1 ROM doesnt include this? The HTC Home plug is great, but would like to see Sliding Panel.
Sliding Panel is for Windows 6.1 Standard... Not Pro.
If you had a HTC S710/730, and slapped on a 6.1 rom.. or even a hurricane or tyhoon... you would have it.
All Touch screen did not have this,,,, nor will they.
Only Smartphones.
Hello
A lot of people asked for the WM6.1 Smartphone Sliding Panel on touchscreen devices with WM6.1 Pro.
I found this

which is a Sliding Panel look app.

I used to have the HTC Touch with the Blue Elves cooked rom which was fantastic, i have now bought a diamond and the touch flow 3d is crap (well i think it is) I'm currently using the Diamond surface rom.
Any way to all you excellent chefs out there is it possible to get rid of touch flow 3d which it is manilla and install touch flow cube but with the original clock from the diamond home screen.
I think using cube would free up memory and make it alot faster because on the touch i found it flawless and really fast?
Please post if you think this would be a good idea.
hello,
have you succeeded to install cube on the Diamond,
I was searching for the same solution, et I totally agree with you ;-)
Hi all, I think the same things with 6 month delay!
you can disable touchflo 3d in the settings > Today screen
Download a VGA HTC home screen (maybe like this one)

as for the touch cube, i don't know if someone ported it to VGA but you can probably use Ftouchflo and configure a "Swipe up" to bring up an action screen or something
I've been in the mood to upgrade to WM6.5 and in trying out some roms, I see that all of them have been "optimized" to be more finger friendly, which to me just means "waste a bunch of screen space".
The things that I hate the most about these new roms are how huge everything is! From the start menu, to dialog boxes, to soft button menus, to on screen keyboards, everything is just huge.
Are there any WM6.5 (or even current 6.1 for that matter) roms that don't have the huge buttons and graphics everywhere?
I like to pack as much information on the screen as I can, and the huge menus and soft buttons just kill that for me.
Are these things changeable once the rom is flashed or do I have to find a rom that has all of this cooked into them?
I'm afraid that anyone who wants to stick with current WM builds has no chance of non-finger friendly menus and screens etc. You must search back to 6.5 RTM or 6.1 builds.
But even the recent 6.1 roms have been bitten by the huge everything bug.
I ran HyperdragonIII Raphael before I decided the try new roms. That one came out in January, and even it has the finger friendly volume adjuster and huge dialer. The dailer I can turn off, but not the volume adjuster. I hate that thing.
I checked out your kitchen, as I'm thinking of rolling something for myself. It's just tough to know where to start. I wish people would release the uncooked roms with their stuff, so we could hack away and fix what we want in them.
I guess what I want is a new rom with recent builds of the OS and tools, but with the original old-school look. I just don't like all the HTC replacement apps that the roms come with now.
I installed the attached CAB on a WM 6.5 ROM and all menus, email lists, etc. became very small, but still readable, so maybe this will work for you.
If you use any Windows Mobile theme made for WM versions prior to 6.5 on a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM, the theme will revert all menus and other UI elements to the old, ugly style. And in the finger friendly 6.1 ROMs, you can disable the HTC Menu Enhancement through the registry and and stop HTC Volume from appearing in place of the standard Windows Mobile volume popup.
I once saw a thread here, and I think it used the windows mobile slide to answer and slide to ignore.
The answer slider was green
The ignore slider was red, and u slide it horizontally.
If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.
I find X2 dialer way too laggy (I am using stock X2), and hard to find contacts. Even the the default WM skin is faster and better.
Anyway, it was a cab file that enabled that skin, and it also changed the keypad a bit better than WM dialer.
Thanks!

It's not from WM built-in but HTC. Search for blackstone, Topaz, or Rhodium dialer.

I just heard from someone that WM 6.5 has slide to answer, but hwo do I activate it?
To be honest, you cannot go wrong with this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154&highlight=dialer
I know you said there is a function in WM 6.5 which has the same thing...but I think this one is the best
The only thing I would love to see changed (and I know exists just can't find it), is the HTC dialer but when during a call has two buttons; a big button for key pad and a big button for end call...but still it's all good and am happy with this one
Hello,
I use HTC Keyboard (Touch Input for Pocket PC version 2.1 - build 1920.2530) that is built in BsB WM 6.5.1 firmware. I use ChangeScreen for rotating screen by gravisensor. I have a problem with HTC keyboard in landscape mode - it is more wide than can fit to my display, so small part on right side of the keyboard is out of the display. Key P is missing completely, half of key L and backspace is missing. What should I do to have entire keyboard visible and usable? Should I edit some registry entry or upgrade the keyboard to different version?
yeah, Bsb Rom has this problem. Not sure if it can be fixed. Search for ezinput 1.6, may solve the problem.
