Change PopUp Keyboard Automatically: Tutorial

How to Change your SIP (default keyboard) on WM5
(You must be logged in to see/download files!)

Automatically changes after every reset. (thanks to Sleuth255 at XDA)

This is a great hack, especially for the Treo's since they have a hardware keyboard exposed and rarely need the software keyboard.

Basically this prevents the soft keyboard from popping up automatically, especially when you don't need it

(There is a hack to permanently disable the software keyboard but this method is better.)

- Install NULL Keyboard .cab (attached)
- Install SIPChanger.cab (attached)

- Run SIPChanger.exe and select your default SIP (NULL Kb)

Now, every time you reset the device this little app runs. It simply changes the default pop up keyboard to whatever you set it to (I use NULL Kb) automatically and "behind the scenes".

If you ever need the software keyboard, simply select it

that was awesome. I've been driven nuts with keyboard changing.

now all we need is a keycaps like program from the treo 650.

Anyone have a problem with NullKB? Every so often it no longer will operate. I've reinstalled, but still won't come up. I change it to default with sip change, but keeps going back to keyboard. I installed 3.3 aku last nite, things were working great, till this evening, and whammo, no dice. NullKB won't work.
