Tried EVERY rom, nothing fixes keyboard lag

I too, at first, believed that is was the display that was lagging the input of text. However, delving further into it I have found that it is how winmo interprets key codes coming from hardware keyboard.

Winmo hardware keyboards typically come with a modified msim*.dll which tends to be labeled something like msim*.dll where * is some identifier with digits. The reg code that points to the file is:

[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\(the default value)]

Changing this to point to msim*.dll without any digits in it (which should still be on your phone even though it isn't being used) will change the hardware key codes back to normal.

!!! THIS WILL BREAK T9 or any advanced correction features !!!
This is most likely why turning off t9 lends to faster text input, but not as fast as this fix.

Props to dilta over at xda for the utility!

note: this hasn't been tested on foreign roms, use with caution.

Do not install this KforTouchPro.cab file unless you like doing hard resets frequently. The tool allows you to switch T9 on and off, but unfortunately causes the phone to hang at boot screen after the next soft reset when you forget to toggle T9 back on. There's no work-around other than to hard reset, or always remember to re-enable T9.

A better solution is to use the disablet9.zip patch to disable T9. This will not cause the boot issue. The only side affect is the SYM key does not work, which most people never use. You can alway uninstall the cab to get the default keyboard functionality back.

There is a beta rom from DCD which does not have any keyboard lag. It is Windows Mobile 6.1

It is bare bones and no kitchen but does have SDAutoRun

THE KEYBOARD LAG IS A HARDWARE PROBLEM TAKE THE PHONE TO A SPRINT STORE AND THEY WILL FIX THE KEYBOARD OR GIVE YOU A NEW TP. That is what myself and many others have done.

omg that's totally what happened to me. Thankfully it gave me an excuse to update to the new MR5 ROM when it came out a couple weeks ago. Now I need a new excuse to reupgrade to the most recent MR5, ahah.

Iknow this sounds weird but when I removed my SD card my lag for the most part went away.


Weird huh.

I had problems with lag as well, both on MR5 and Psyki and R3BORN...I just installed the final SPB MS3 version, and they actually did something to improve the lag dramatically...it really works well now...this doesn't help people that don't like the SPB interface, but for those who do, they were finally able to fix that horrible lag (it was SPB lag on top of the regular lag)...it's pretty zippy now...I'm on Psyki V3 btw...
