Help starting android with a broken touch screen

[kmaloof]

My touchscreen just broke and im waiting on a replacement digitizer, but in the meantime i would like to use my phone
In windows mobile i can not select the soft keys with the arrows, so everything is virtuosly useless. i can type a text, but not send it, open a program but not click next or accept, etc. in android, i can get pretty much anywhere with the arrows. Problem is i had the build with sense installed, and i wanted just regular 2.1 for more speed since it will now be an everyday operating system for a little, but when i deleted everything and put the new build on my storage card, i get stuck on the touch the android to begin screen. once i get passed this i think im good. is there a way to edit a file to make android think i have already done this?
