How did you get that SWEET keyboard? I want it!
It's GDE Home Replacement
Here's an update to my homescreens, I went for something "lighter" lol. Again sorry if it's too big:
Kudos to the guys at the seamless backgrounds threads for coming up with the seamless background. The area with the digital clock and weather is my "Home".

It's the "Better Keyboard" keyboard replacement app using the default skin and then I changed the font using one of the font packs on the market (I think it's called font pack 2 or 3) in the settings. The font is called "GOODTIMES".

I think it's better looking, can't say the functionality is any better than the stock though :\ (still sucks when you're trying to type fast) ok maybe it's a little better but not mind-blowing, the features are nice though.
Persistent Home helps when going from one home app to the other correct? If you use just Home ++ you should leave it disabled... am I correct?
Is it worth the money? You say it lets you type a little faster.... it does look way better - any more functionality?

I'm no expert but I think it has to do with how Home++'s memory management works, with persistent home on I think it prevent android from unloading Home++'s memory letting it load up faster. Which is why it would affect over all performance like in the comment. Its basically reserving a perminant memory spot for Home++ meaning android can't utilize it for other apps. I think this is what it means, feel free to correct me if I'm understanding it wrong.
In terms of typing it does feel a little better and does allow me to type faster than the stock keyboard, its just that I still want to type faster and because it doesn't have multi-touch features I can't type faster. In terms of other features it has gestures for quick access to number keyboard and a compact qwerty mode. It also allows for T9 keyboard and a L337 keyboard. I'd say it's worth it, I'm just complaining and bitter because of the lack of multi-touch typing. LolIs it worth the money?

I'm not sure anyone understands it perfectly... I will turn it on and see how things go....
So you like Better Keyboard but you don't like the lack of multi-touch. I understand completely. I'll consider getting it for the looks and the easier typing..
Which package give your the cool one you have on your screen?
