ok. I know I saw someone mention on this forum that there is a cab you can install for a larger on-screen keyboard. I've been searching the forums, but can not find this cab. I hate typing with my stylus, and with tf2d installed I rarely flip open my phone anymore (landscape is still not fully supported).
anyone know where I can get a hold of the large on-screen keyboard? An attachment or a forum link would be ideal.
thanks again!!! =)
I'd definately be interested in this too...
try this thread -

thanks so much for the help! I reviewed all of these keyboard and decided that I like the HTC touch keyboard the best..... Only problem is. I install the cab, and it does NOTHING! It still has the same old crappy on-screen keyboard! (stylus required)
I am using ttran's OTP 7 (tf2d manila)
I am uploading the cab now, so anyone else who has time.... test this and let me know if I am the only one with this problem... and if you know a solution please post.
Thanks again!

You have to touch & hold the little arrow by the keyboard to select the new one. You'll have to do this every time you reset your phone, but the attached cab will fix that. Just install it & you'll see it in your programs list. This will allow you to set the default keyboard so it doesn't reset each time you power up your phone.
Does anyone know of any software that would create a virtual D-pad on the HD? somethign like what the diamond has but a soft keypad on screen?
the screen is so big and i think the HD is missing a D-Pad (as discussed in the poll) its something alot of people have got used ot using and i cant live wihtout.
Maybe a cooker could make one up - il definately be in for donating!
You can use this to get a short press of the vol up/down buttons acting as cursor up/down if that helps... http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
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
I was wondering if anyone can help me get morphgear to work with landscape because it doesn't seem to want to change to landscape mode when i slide my keyboard and aswell i can't change my button configs.
Landscape
I set my Morphgear always to be in landscape, you set this under the "Global setting" - click the third icon from right and select "Global setting" and set "Orientation" to east. Remember to click on the word "Orientation" and not "East".
Also for configuring the buttons i use "K for Raphael" - have you managed to configure the keyboard in a different way?
I'm very interested by this topic.
It is possible to play the game in full screen WVGA 800x480 landscape?
And to configure every built-in keyboard's buttons to play games?
Thanks for your answers!

Yes it really works When i start it it says:
"You can now map: A, S, Z, X, TAB, 1, 2, -, =, BACKSPACE, ENTER, UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT in game."
and also you can toggle the TF3D
I've configured the keys and it works good. Then when it comes to the emulation, well you have to turn of the sound on the SNES - i haven't tried any other emulator - to make it really playable. Super Mario works fine though, with sound, a bit slower than original but still works. Im haven't figured out the most optimal setting and i don't know how to tweak the whole mobile to make the gaming experience faster.
Maybe someone else has managed to make this emulator go fast on a newer HTC device.
SNES module works with some problems - crashes if you slide out the keyboard while open. Genesis module is far too buggy and requires soft reset every coupld of minutes.
Yes... it's not superstable - that's for sure. If saying it works like playing the real deal, then i would say it doesn't work. It seems like the emulators are outdated and doesn't seem to be updated for newer handsets. It would be really great if someone could pick this up and make some really nice emulator that would work with as many different phones as possible.
For me it's just fun starting it up an play a little, even if slow. It hasn't crashed totaly on my Rhodium.
If you need it for serious gaming, no it doesn't work.
Morphgear solved
To get hardware key working on morphgear first enable both input in global section.
Then go key binding in emulator section. Slide hardware keyboard on. If you have problem go down use hardware cursors. Press option for key. Press "..." and window popup. Now enable virtual keyboard and input key. Close virtual keyboard. If you get 229 code try again. Go binding next key. accept ok. Play with hardware keyboard. Tested on my HTC Touch pro 2, 2409 morphgear version.
But please found solution for hardware keyboard in dosbox.
my tp2 works fine with morphgear.... to lanscape mode change the 100% zoom to window size, change the auto driver to GDI(in global settings) , orientation North(global settings) . to config the input u have to tap your virtual keyboard first , tap "other input methods" and tap keyboard. after that u tap the button that u want to config,tap the (...), tap your virtual keyboard and tap the virtual button (q,s,e,w,a. your wish). if u do something wrong u'll stay with the number 229(229 cause u don't change the input method in your virtual keyboard). if u does the right way u'll see numbers like 89,81,72,.... cause u config your virtual keyboard right. hope it helps....
here is what i posted on another emulator forum.
I have the (telus) TP2 and have got morph gear working if you have a ctrl key there is and easier way but to get it working on my phone i downloaded KforTouchPro and morphgear start KforTP and hit switch to M$ IME then minimize then slide out my keyboard and open morphgear (i have found sliding after causes plroblems) and then im free to play (however another issue if i touch the landscape Right side of the screen if gets all screwed up but if i touch the landscape Left side of the screen it goes full screen.

there was the comment about going into global settings and changing the orientation to east that is also required
and yes KforTP works atleast on the telus model
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?
