New tytn2 user

[Guest sning]

hi,

just got a tytn2 from orange as a free upgrade.

chuffed with it so far, but i wanna ask a few questions (which have probably been answered before, so i apologise in advance)

is there any way to get a larger/better on screen keyboard for sending texts (even a numerical keypad that uses t9 would be nice)???

is there an easy way of getting a nicer home page (like the one HTC has on the product pics)

where is the best place to look for ROM updates, i can see plenty of cooked roms (the choice of which baffles me, but thats another conversation altogether), i registered on the HTC website, but they dont recognise my serial number :D

is the touchflo easy to do?? any topics i find on it seem to involve some hacking (which i'm not that keen on yet) or multiple files that need downloading/installing/modifying

Sorry again if people have alreday asked these, but i'm rather new to this and sifting through the huge amount of info here soon gets confusing

cheers :(

Hey welcome to MoDaCo :(

The best on screen keyboard I've used is Cootek's Touchpal http://www.cootek.com - it's free for now but be quick!

Someone else might have the link for the HTC Home, I don't have it handy but yes you can get all that stuff.

ROM Updates, there isn't an official one from HTC so don't worry just yet :D

Touchflo is already enabled on the device, if you want the cube then there is a thread on xda-developers for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336482

Good luck :D

Thanks for the heads up one that one! Which version of that should I use on my Kaiser? QVGA or VGA?

I've been using the PCM Keyboard

PCM keyboard link

That along with Contacts Manager from the same site are two worthy additions to the Kaiser.

[Guest creamhackered]

QVGA definitely, unfortunately the Kaiser isn't a VGA device :(

Just to check, you've seen that bloody great physical keyboard under the screen, right? :(

The HTC Home plugin and a nice black theme are both available at http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-downlo...lugin-v1-0.html

LOL, yes i have.

i dont always wanna pull out the keyboard to send a couple of words, so i try touse the on screen one, but thats a pain in the arse :D

was just fancying something that was just like a numeric pad (so nice but buttons) and use it as you would a normal phone with predictive text

thanks for that :(

downloaded it, but it dosetn seem to work.

doing a bit of investigation, it seems to have installed a "HTCHome" folder in the root of the device which i;m guessing should be somewhere else.

anyone clue me in on where?

[Guest hotphil]

In waht way doesn't work? Is the option available for selection in the Today settings? Might need a power off/on again?

in settings > today i get "guava bubbles", "Orange", "windows default" and "windows mobile green"

i would assume the one i just installed would be "HTC Home" or similar

[Guest jimbouk]

The HTC home isnt the home page itself, its a home plug in.

You need to go to items tab in today settings, de-select the orange plug in if its on, and select the HTC home.

If yoo want a today screen that matches it, you should search for a suitable one to act as a backdrop for the plugin.

There is a brilliant HTC Home customiser around (xda-developers) that allows you to change colours, clock style etc
