Okay, long story short(ened).

I've been using xda-dev for a long time, but this is my first time actually posting. I used to have a T-mo Wing, realized just how many ways in which it lacked power-wise, and decided to upgrade to a Kaiser (specifically, an AT&T Tilt).

I used the Tilt with its original ROM for a really long time, and I was about to sell it on eBay to buy a G1 (which I may still do, we'll see) when I decided to try out flashing it with a new ROM.

I weeded through the various ROMs that you guys have cooked up, and I decided I liked Sakajati's Hyperdragon III Opal the best.

Took me a while to get it to work (biggest issue was that I had to switch to my wife's computer with XP, since my PC runs Vista), but now that I've got it running, I love it. I had my Kaiser running all sorts of fun apps before (man, some of you guys make some seriously awesome stuff!), but I could never get TouchFlo to work, so this ROM makes me very pleased. Manila is awesome, too. =)



Anyhow, to the point.

The Tilt has a different keyboard setup than the standard Kaiser. As a result, when I'm typing, I go to hit & and = shows up instead. # turns up with *, " yields &, etc. I can deal with this, but it's pretty annoying.

I don't know, maybe this was addressed in the Hyperdragon III thread, but I tried finding it to no avail. Since this isn't quite a Hyperdragon III issue so much as just needing to rework my keys, I don't think this belongs in that thread anyhow.

But, question is - do you guys happen to have any solutions? Maybe a program that lets me reprogram each of my keys to my own preference, maybe a .CAB that automatically reprograms my keys to the appropriate format. I don't care. I just want a solution.

Anybody?

Do a search on xda for tilt keyboard fix.

RTFM!! haha just kidding. I'm not trying to be one of those guys.

Since you are new to the tilt, I'd recommend you read this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397434) though. There are lots of good links and tutorials in there.
