Thanks for the suggestions, SIPChange is exactly what I want to be able to set PCM keyboard as default, but unfortunately whenver I install it my phone takes forever (and a day) to start up. The phone looks like it has loaded ok, but it is almost entirely unresponsive, not ideal!

Why is this? Is there a  workaround? Are there any other apps that have a similar functionality?

I thought Id add this to the sticky post here is my original (This has been tested by numerous people btw and works well)

Morning,

I have been having a read of the XDA forums and came across this. Installed it. soft reset.



and man what a difference to scrolling in PIE! its like night and day. Improved PIE and its usability 10 fold. Now I am able to scroll up and down large pages with ease and not have to experience the laggy effects that my t mobile touch plus was trying to force on me. If you do not know what i am talking about try scrolling through a large page i.e. a long one, when it hasn't finished loading or If you have pocket plus 4 and the smart scrolling enabled try scrolling with this before and after.

I too suffered severe startup performance problems after installing SIPChange....worked fine on VARIO 2 should be taken off the list?

Any other application thats free and does the same thing?
