[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fredbred:
I have been using the kaiser since dec/2007 and not everything is working as expected.

Background - I have a second phone SE W880i and I am very satisfied with the user interface.

Do you think there will be ever an easy way to use the kaiser as phone such as a ordinary phone? I would expect the kaiser to be more than that...

Anyway, my questions are quite straightforward: (for now :-)

1) How can I prevent the phone from waking up when I receive a text message? (because mostly something in my pocket touches the screen and calls my contacts)

2)How can I set up the function of the JOG (the wheel button on the side) (I would like to be able after holding the wheel a task manager to pop up and with the wheel to choose a running program and to activate it with a push of the wheel again)

3) Is there a dialer / dialer skin to enable really easy and accurate access of the number-pad with fingers?

If you know a program, solution or workaround, please let me know...

[First]Second Conclusion

After reading the posts (see below), searching and testing I found a good solution for the Kaiser to fulfill its function as a phone using these components:

Dialer -

Minimal dialer

(fast, simple, easy to push the keys with fingers(thumb)

Contats -

iContact

(either the original (now v0.8) or iContact BE (now v6.3.2b2) (very fast, finger friendly and has the functions you would expect)

UI - PointUI 1.51a - it is very fast & smoothly, finger friendly and has most of the functions you would expect!

- on the same day I have posted the the above, I found a newly available UI

Touchflo2d/manilla

- it is very fast & smoothly, finger friendly and much more rich on functions than PointUI. Also more rom&ram demanding! Its in beta but everything works ok (depends on your rom)! Now this is my choice! :D

(works only with htc devices)

->and if you use manilla, then a

S2U2

is a very handy application for locking the keyboard.

All the applications are free (but you can, of course, donate .

Drawbacks:

Dialer

- only white schema, I prefer black because of the battery endrance

- not sure yet how to change the sound of keys to quiet ticks (the same sound you hear when you delete the whole number by holding the delete key)

Contacts - ??? not found any (yet

UI

PointUI

- it is not optimised for the kaiser, so you can't use for example the ok button to go back in menu.

- This is the most complex part and everyone expect different functions

- no real customization

Manilla - it is too early (still first beta) to judge

-I could not find any customizing tools...

-a bit too heavy (with all the applications)

If you know a solution for the Drawbacks or you have a different experience, please let me know.

I use

ROMeOS 4.5.3
