Re: Is there an old people rom?
I'm interested in this too--my grandpa is planning to get a Touch to replace a three-year-old Motorola phone and I'd like to find something easy for him to use as well. I guess I could just cook him a custom ROM, though maybe it would be best for him to use the same ROM as me so we're on the same page. Which ROM do you have on the Touch right now?

Re: Is there an old people rom?
I gave my wife the old touch when I went to the Pro... she loved it with the stock rom. I just asked her what she wanted to do with the phone and I set up shortcuts.
It gave her a chance to familiarize herself with winmo. Now she has my old pro and I got the pro2. p. |

The rom on there now is currently the last Sprint update for the phone. I had a custom rom on there but reverted back to the Sprint one after the developer gave up on it.

Just use the stock rom. Hard reset. Then remove all of the extra stuff from the today screen exept for htc home. Set up the cube with speed dial numbers and if you want you can use the cube configuration tool to set up the cube with whatever else you want. Install S2U2 for the unlock and for the keyboard install one of the full screen ones and use sip change to set it as the default. That should do it!

I still think it is too much. One slip of the finger in the wrong place and they are lost. The cube would most definitely confuse them. That would have to go altogether.

Re: Is there an old people rom?
Well, you can certainly disable the cube, I removed mine. I would still do a clear storage/hard reset with the stock rom and disable all of the stuff on the Today screen. You could even disable htc home if you want and download and install a simple clock like Pocket Digital Clock that just shows the time and date. Then download and install S2U2 for the slide screen unlock. Then you could get simething like icontact or a contact/dialer app that is finger friendly for phone use. There are also some themes available that change the today screen to function like the iPhone so you can make the today screen black with icons for the apps you want. Just depends on what you want the Today Screen to look like.
