Great Job!!!I see you used the HTC Unlocked version...I used the Sprint version because the color scheme was darker than HTC's silver.

How did you change your home screen like that?
Pretty cool mod, but I like the AT&T keyboard just fine.
Those look great! Do you know if everything on the Tilt2 can be swapped or is it limited to just the keyboard? I saw a light blue housing on ebay and am so tempted to get it. I just need to muster up the courage.

Well it pretty much 50/50 some people like that ATT layout some people like the HTC style layout. I personally like the numbers across the top. I did the same thing when I had a HTC Fuze by changing the keyboard to the numbers across the top instead of ATT style. But anyways to each their own.

You get the cred for being the first for the Tilt2! (Here anyway)
This was a must do - I often switch back and forth between typing text and numbers, and what inevitably happens is I manage to forget I pressed Fn, so when I try to type back arrow, the comm manager opens, then I have to close it...by then I've lost my train of thought...
I really like the look of your the darker version, although my favorite is the US Cellular!
Where did you find all the parts? And after that, how did you do it (a guide or something)?
Because I just spent half-an-hour looking up OEM/HTC Touch Pro 2 keyboard on Google and Ebay and got nothing.
(Mainly looking for the silver keyboard you have)

You know I have 2 or 3 more - installation was incredibly simple. Basically the keypad is "stuck" on. You remove the clear plastic on the back and stick it in place. You need something thin to carefully "pry" the old one out. A business card works to pry far enough to work a fingernail under. Here are a couple of pics of the sticker backing.
I am about to purchase a tilt2 and like this mod. How are you guys editing the key assignment?

You have to use the Rhodium Keyboard config. Install that and you are good to go.
If you flash a custom rom the keys are good to go.
I'd love to get a T-Mobile US keyboard set. You didn't have to remove any screws or anything to do this?
tilt2 keyboard
I like the different look.
If I get one of those keyboards - BTW the pictures you posted (of the kb) are better than the orig one that came with the phone... I like the numbers across the top, and don't have to hit another key to enter a number... How does the software recognize the new kb. How do you get it to work since it is a different hardware on the unit?
Thanks.
Where do you get the keyboard?

I don't want it if we're not going to be able to flash custom roms. I have a few days left to return it. Other tablets are dropping in price.

ROMs aren't going to drop within the next 5 days. But thing is solid regardless with root and sideload of apps. But hey, it's your NT.

Exactly. I was having this debate with myself as well, but honestly the thing performs very well. Better than what I've heard about the kindle fire (for video anyway). The way I see it, it has the performance of many 10" tablets for less money and a more convenient form factor. I can slip this baby into my inside jacket pocket no problem. Can't do that with a Transformer
I can't wait to see this tablet with a custom ROM, but until then it works great with Go Launcher.
I ended up returning mine because for some reason the POWER button STOPPED WORKING! Pissed me off, that and three bootloader, f that so I returned it. And had a hell of a time unrooting it. But I must admit I did love it. So no more nook tablet for me untill custom roms are possible.

IMHO, you should return it. Write a quick letter to B&N on why — the Nook Tablet needlessly has a locked bootloader.
I've said this on several threads: not buying and/or returning the Nook Tablet is the best way to let them know you're not OK with a locked bootloader.
I'm keeping mine; because I'm OK with a locked bootloader -- I'm not happy with it, but I can live with it.
It's really a matter of can you live with the device w/ the locked bootloader? I've been able to use my device as I see fit (outside of running HC/ICS yet), but for the majority of my tasks, I'm okay as is. It's a personal preference thing. Whatever makes you happy

I tested it for a long while (like an hour) against a KF, Iconia, a few other 7 inchers, a NC, a few 10 inch tablets, including a transformer (which was $250 on promotion!) and it was much nicer browsing to the same video sites than the other 7 inch ones, and the 10 inch ones were a LOT bigger than I imagined (and heavier).
The bootloader isn't needlessly locked - it's due to netflix requesting it, and they went the easiest/laziest way.

Yep! Seems easier than to root it, tbh, hehe. Nice work
I just sent mine back for the back cover cracking. I got tired of it and figured now would be a good time to do it while we wait for ICS and while we watch the Xron rom become even better. But has anyone else had to send theirs in to HP? Do you get a replacement or the same one back? Is it a refurb? Did they finally fix the issue with the cracking backs so I won't have to send it in again? How long did you have to wait for a new one?
I have sent mine over a month ago. They are really quick with that process. It takes about a week from the day UPS collects it to the delivery back to you. If you are in Europe so they will send it to Hungary to get it fixed. Mine got replaced even though I asked to change only the cracked case. But probably they decided to change the whole thing because I also had dead pixel. You can't say whether the device is refurbished or new but so far didn't have any issues! Good luck waiting and I believe that you might also get another device. But if otherwise let us know. I wonder how many people get theirs replaced and how many get only their cases fixed.
they discussed this on the xron thread. apparently this is a common problem with the case
cracking near the battery door. from that thread they replace with a refurbished unit. you can have it sent before sending your broken one back but it requires credit card information. one guy had his replaced 4 times for cracks.

Crazy. I don't use the tablet enough to justify having them send me one first. Especially right now when we're all still waiting for a big breakthrough for ICS. Seems like I might only be looking at a week and 1/2 max from what some people have said. I'm saddened that some people have had cases with multiple backs with cracks. I thought the HP Touchpad would be designed well and not be another Palm Pre...
are the cracks cause by the hp case or just stress cracks from a poor design?
Anyone having this problem, I read somewhere that if you ask for "advanced exchange" then they will send you the replacement first and if you don't send yours back, they charge your credit card.
Beats not having a tablet for 7-10 business days.

No clue. I know that when the original Palm Pre came out I thought it was awesome until it ended up ****ing up twice. I just sold the replacement they gave me.

tiny crack so far
I was able to land 3 32gb tp's during the first fire sale and I only se a few mm crack at the corner of a speaker on one of them. Could it be certain production batches were more prone to cracks?

Possibly. My girlfriend's isn't doing it but she barely uses it right now until we get Android ported over to it. I'm waiting for ICS to be stable before I do it because she's not technically inclined like I am. Though I bought both on the day of the fire sale.

I would recommended the latest xron rom if haven't done android yet. Latest 2.9.1 rom is working like butter for me. Just make sure you do a clean install and you should be golden. Might be a. While for a supqer stable ics.

Haha thanks for that I've been around Xron since Alpha 3 for CM7 came out. I think ICS is going to be a big step forward from GB since they're putting so much time in to it. According to Dalingrin it's mostly done.
Roger that. It will be interesting to see how ICS comes out of the oven for sure . Meanwhile I'm diggin 2.3.7.

Yea it will. I'm hoping it's going to be better than 2.3.7 right now. I don't want to give her a tablet that's always messing up and not connecting and stuff.
I've had my TP since the first firesale and just noticed the crack by my speaker a 2 weeks ago. I wasn't going to send it to HP but I may ask for them to send me the new cover first since they are doing that.
Mine has just been picked up and on its way to Hungary!!! apparently a bad batch of plastic was used and the "new" plastic shouldn`t crack

Heads up...
The advanced exchange is now a $59 fee. No longer a credit card hold. I just got this info from my chat session of dead external speakers on my 16GB Touchpad (internal HP firesale, August 2011).
At least I'll get the same unit back and it doesn't have case cracks (knock on wood).
YMMV, maybe my chat person was having a bad day.

More than a 1/3rd of the cost of my 32GB TouchPad haha. What makes you say you're going to get the same unit back?

Just a heads up the Media Link HD $90, Car Dock $35, and about 3 cases $15 are all available at Sprint locations now with a 20% if you order 2 or more
Is the car dock the official HTC dock, or was it a third party dock? Just wondering, since Sprint doesn't have the HTC dock on the website.

It is the official Car Dock from HTC specifically for the Evo. WifiMaxed on AndroidForums.com posted a video he already picked his up. Looks pretty nice and has insert so it will work with and without cases.

Best Buy said they have 3 different cases in (PT series and Rocketfish) as well as a few screen protectors.

I have the offical HTC car dock from Sprint. However, when I plug my phone, it doesn't automatically launch HTC Car and go into "dock" mode, as it should. It only does this about 40% of the time. Anyone else having this problem?

It should work on n10 with a custom rom
I got rid of the N10. I have to admit that the Kindle beats it many ways. I like the Fire OS. Although I would like to modify it a little more. Not much info here on xda. Surprised. I guess there aren't too many people that have one. The battery life is too phenomenal to rom it. And it's fast and smooth. And i don't think I even saw a rom for it anyway. Didn't look that hard, but don't think I want one either. With the N10, I could not find anything and gave up as to OTG. Even roms. People said it was hit or miss. You were lucky to just get the right unit. I still find it tough to believe that that is case. But I'm not a dev. Seems like what's more in demand.
For what I do with phones and computers, it usually has to affect me first. Then I come up with a solution. But i'm not a coder. And don't know much about Unix/Linux.

The "problem" with the kindle hdx is that the OS is proprietary , and hacking it is illegal and devs are not even trying, only one has been able to hack it (@jcase), but he cannot release it since Dmca does not cover it,
long story short - there is not much you can do with it, unless try some HDX Nexus rom...
Yeah. But we all void are warranties. That's mostly why we're here. I have ways around that anyway. It's just that this tab seems better than others. I just want to hack it to a point where I can do all the crazy network and server and PC stuff that I do. But keep the Fire OS. Everything can be hacked. And it doesn't hurt anyone. It's mine now. Not Amazons! I know, an age old issue. But it is a good tablet and I think worth the hack. ?. I'm getting there, slow but sure. But there are just a few more things I would like to do.
