"Touch Keyboard" and "Touch Keypad" are exactly the same thing when I switch b/w them in some apps. (like in "Input" in the Settings screen). Also, it would be great if you left out the extra themes:

Blue Sky Moon
Night Tree
Stormy Field
Turtle

and the custom ringtones.

Edit:
Actually, I don't know if it's just buggy or what, but in some apps. I get the keyboard that looks almost like the qwerty keyboard that has the full number row at the top (but with the Vista skin), some apps. I get the keyboard that has the two letters for each key (Vista skinned) and in some apps. I get the keyboard that looks like the cellphone keypad (the one with three letters for each key, also Vista skinned) - the whole time I had "Touch Keyboard" set as the input method and it looks like it changed b/w these three randomly in different programs.

Not sure what to make of it. Could it be the Vista skin causing this?

For the themes and ring tones, I was just too lazy to make an option.xml file for the OEM. I'll do that in my next build.

Which programs are you seeing the issues with the keyboard/keypad? I tried a few ( Text message, e-mail, PIE ) and they worked okay. The Vista Skins are just swapping out image files, so I don't see where they would cause an issue.

It will change between the full qwerty board and the Touch 20 keyboard for password fields, but other than that, it should stay in the Touch Keyboard.

Did you install any other apps?

Ok, I played with the ROM a little more today. When I go to make a text message and I choose the Touch Keyboard, I get the one with two letters per key (the top left key has: qw). When I choose Touch Keypad, I get the one with 9 keys and three letters in each (the top left key has: @.?,). When I use Notes, Excel Mobile, IE (any editable field), OneNote Mobile (when I'm in a new note or editing a note) it does the same thing.

When I go into Word Mobile, the Today Screen weather app. to choose a city, the Calendar to make a new appointment, Contacts to add a new contact, the keyboard briefly pops up and I see the full qwerty keyboard (the one with the number row at the very top of the keyboard, vista-skinned), but then it immediately switches to the Touch Keyboard (the one with two letters per key) by itself. When I switch to Touch Keypad I still get the one with three letters per key and when I switch back to Touch Keyboard I get the one with two letters per key again. I don't know how to get the one with the full keyboard (the vista skinned one with the full number row at the very top of the keyboard).

When I go into PowerPoint Mobile and OneNote Mobile w/o creating a new note (just in the main OneNote Mobile screen) I get that full vista skinned- qwerty keyboard with the full number row at the top whether I choose Touch Keyboard or Touch Keypad.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that is the expected behavior. The only time you will see the full qwerty board is when entering a password field ( i.e. when setting up an e-mail account ).

There is a registry hack that will put the keyboard into full qwerty mode all the time.
