Does anyone know if we can de-activate the onscreen virtual keyboard on the HTC Touch Dual.
It becomes annoying considering I already have the real sliding keyboard.
deactivating virtual keyboard & keypad
I used SKTools to remove Registry keys for both keyboard & keypad. This actually was the only way for me to set other virtual keyboards as default.
Just make sure that you backup your data first, since such actions can easily render your device unbootable & force you to hard reset to be able to use it again

Is there a way to make the keyboard layout in Window Mobile 6 bigger? I have switched the layout icon in the keyboard setting to large, but I need it bigger for finger typing. The screen size of the Shift is perfect to have a virtual keyboard working; it would cut down on the wear and tear of sliding the keyboard tray every time in slate mode.

You might like one of the many full screen keyboards which are available, check the forum search or google. If you've installed RealVGA, you'll need a VGA version of the keyboard.
I was wondering if the layout could be mod to make it bigger instead of installing third party software. I am currently trying out the Resco Keyboard Pro and it's a great software.

Is it possible to start a program when the keyboard slides out? I've seen it on the Touch Dual and was wondering if the herlad can also do this.
Don't really know if this is possible, because the touch dual's keyboard slides down, and the herald slides sideways. Because of the sideway slide, it already executes a program to set the phone in "Landscape" format.
With the Touch Dual this isn't nessecary, because you don't turn the phone sideways while typing, so you have a free "Key Binding" for the slide function.
So i don't know if it's possible for the herald to execute 2 programs if you slide out the keyboard.
But....... this also can be pure bullsh*t what i suggested

Hello everybody,
Today, I have HTC Wizard with a lot of hardware keys . I like the blackstone but I'm affraid to see that there is no hardware keys (no Dpad). I use applications that work only with Dpad (no touchscreen functions).
Have you solution to have software direction pad when applications run (Like the soft direction keys on the virtual keyboard)?
The standard SIPs provided by HTC all have "virtual" arrow keys. Most apps will work fine with these, provided that they play nice when the SIP keyboard is enabled.
Also, I'm sure D-pad specific SIPs will appear soon, and I'm hoping for a virtual D-pad solution + WVGAFIX3 combo. The 160 rows of leftover pixels when in 480x640 mode would be just great for 4-directional buttons and and action/Enter key.
However, I've had the HD for a couple of weeks, and I can honestly say that I don't miss the D-pad at all. I migrated from a smartphone (HTC Vox), so I was definitely wary. I've found that most apps/games (and the WM 6.1 GUI) work fine with touch (as they well should, on WM Professional). For the really small buttons, a finger nail or stylus is needed, but I find these occasions to be rare.
The worst example I've come acroos is Opera Mini (essential on my Vox), which is practically unusable on the HD without the stylus. Then again, I don't miss Mini when I have Opera Mobile.
Would you care to elaborate a bit on the apps you need to use?

Yes I agree and I hope too
I hesitate between the touch HD abd the Xperia X1
Does anyone know a utility that you can run before a game, configure a key map for the game, set screen orientation and override the HTC typing function so it won't crash the phone / game?
I've found some good Touch Pro 2 compatible games but many need a D-pad or use of other hardware buttons. Others put the screen into the wrong orientation relative to the keyboard. Yet others allow use of hardware arrow keys but the directions are mixed up... If there is a utility to do this for all WM games the Pro 2 would be one of the best PPC games machines out there... Any ideas?
I installed the touch keyboard + touch keypad and changed the immission setting in the system. When I switch off and on the keyboard resets to the default one. How can I avoid this?
You haven't posted what keyboard exactly, the rom you use, or your phone details. Can you get these and I can have a look
