Need a 'touchscreen only rom' - is there one?

[wasilvers]

Is there a rom (or mabey it's just a phone skin or theme) that is just 100% touchscreen - so I will not miss my buttons?

Here's why...
This last weekend all the buttons on my 8925 stopped working - just the power and camera buttons work (no keyboard either)

Everything else on the phone fuctions, phone, gps, internet, just the darn buttons.

Since I couldn't answer the phone without pressing the green button, I had to find something fast - I flashed Josh's 6.5 21222(?) - works good, but it's a little bleeding edge for me.

So I don't have to spend 3 days flashing 20 roms - please let me know if you've come across any that would help.

Thanksk a million!

As usual, keep flashing until you find the right one!

With the opal dialer, you can have a slider to answer or reject calls. I've had a lot of luck with all of the 6.5's so far, and it's very finger friendly as well as finger functional. But you should be able to install the opal dialer to any rom.

Sorry about your buttons and keyboard though, the keyboard is my favorite part, I hate typing with an onscreen. If, by the way, you find a keyboard that works really well with fingers, please please let me know. Transcriber works, but it's not a keyboard.

At any rate, good luck!

drumboy03 -
As to onscreen keyboards. I use - and really like Resco Keyboard. It is THUMB Friendly and easy to use ( I think it is like an iphones keyboard - but who says they can't have a good idea once in a while).


I think WM 6.5 seems to be the most finger friendly so far. I tried one of the HyperDragon III roms (12/25/08) and it works ok because it has...


Big start menu & Touchflo for easy navigation
I installed an iphone dialpad
I installed slide to unlock, slide to play, slide to view Dang - does it sound like I went for an iphone? - not intentional, but they do seen to have the better fingerfriedly interface.


I use Kinoma player - very finger friendly - for most media and core player (with diamond theme - big buttons) for the orb and news streams (it plays better than WM for me)

On a side note, I was getting 5-8 second gps locks from cold start with that setup! Better than my official GPS's.

Tonight or tomorrow I'll will try the opal dialer on a 6.5 rom - especially with the new internet exporer.

I do second this notion, a touch screen only rom would be nice.

I have seen many roms integrate touchFlo/Manilla, but I havent seen many integrate Winterface (iphone like interface), Point UI, or others.

I very much like TouchFlo, but variety would be good too.:)

Two days ago I loaded the Solace v. 3.x rom. It is set up for primarily touch screen use - big icons, big notificiations etc. Works great. Only issue is with the default phone skin - if I have to dial a new number I have to save it to contacts first. But I like other features of the skin so I'll live with that. I rarely call anyone new anyway so it really isn't an issue.

Thanks for your help!

Turns out my buttons were not really broken- ae button plus allowed me to remap the buttons - right back to their old state - funny but it worked! Now I can run 'regular roms' again! Something must really be wrong with my tilt to have that problem!

And now that my outside buttons are mapped right, the keyboard works too! WOW - I was looking at replacing the tilt, instead it's only a $7 fix!
