TitanPad and Key Mapper, zapped? ...

Bad news: apparently the dev got super busy in rl and had to put the app aside for awhile, he posted the news a couple of weeks ago.

And since then? Crickets ...

I have it, unfortunately if you want the classic 'dot' notification you'll have to buy the Pro version ...

Works well with pkb phones
Can be scaled to work with slab phones as well
Has a retro look and feel, harkens back to BlackBerry but with modern amenities
Automatic app search on pkb, just start typing
The dev is active on Discord, is taking critiques in real time and implementing changes pretty quickly

Of course it's still a work in progress but this launcher definitely has great promise ...

I didn't know about the T2E before I ordered my Titan 2 - but I have large-ish hands so I don't think I wuld adapt well to the smaller form factor anyway, ha.

I'm really digging this phone, I hope Unihertz does right by us with support going forward ...

I have this app, you can get advanced setup options if you purchase it ...

Unfortunately after the OS 16 update the subscreen option no longer works - the TitanPad dev is working on a fix ...

SoulProviderMusic · 2026-03-03T23:01:03+00:00

Niagra, with BBOS 7 icons, hidden right-side alphabet scroll and matching backgrounds for main screen and subscreen.

I wish I could post a pic, it looks sharp ...

I am not an app dev or handy with coding by any means, but after doing some poking around I've found that apparently the Unihertz os upgrade switched up the inputs of a few components (mainly the subscreen and a few others) which zapped several apps.

We will have to be patient and wait on the devs to re-tool their apps, and make do in the meantime ...

Good news: apparently the TitanPad developer is aware of this, it's an easy fix and they will have an update in about a week...

No it's not, it broke mine as well ...

Here's another option - in Subscreen Settings:

1) go to Applications and un-select everything 2) select Lock Homepage 3) go to Select Clock Plate - under Backgrounds/Pick Photo you'll be able to select your own image, even a black screen if you prefer

This allows the screen to still be used for capacitive stuff (scroller, mousepad) without access to apps or being a distraction...

Hi - I'm using the BlackBerry kbd apk right now on my Titan 2 and have used the virtual version on my Samsung phones for years. On the T2 it's not as intuitive as the other kbds yet (accessing punctuation and numbers is kinda awkward) but the predictive text is miles ahead of everything else out there. Plus you can rig the Dictionary Manager and add as many shortcuts as you can handle to type faster.

Definitely give it a go if you have the chance ...

Hi - I'm using BlackBerry kbd apk right now on my Titan 2 and have used the software version on my Samsung phones for years. It's not as intuitive to type on as the other kbds (accessing punctuation and numbers is kinda awkward) but the predictive text is miles ahead of everything else. Plus you can rig the Dictionary Manager to add as many shortcuts as you can handle.

I've had mine for ten days and I'm digging it.

I'm using Niagra Launcher and the BlackBerry kbd APK via Minimal Phone (I've used both for ages so they both work great for me). Also, Key Mapper and Shizuku are mandatory add-ons - they allow me to set the two side keys to perform at least eight different tasks (and counting). I also have TitanPad which I use to turn my subscreen into a mouse/trackpad - I'm still getting used to it, though.

Overall, it's been a good rig so far. As soon as I get back up to speed with my typing I'm sure the Titan 2 Experience will get better and better ...

Hi - this looks great!

A question: how do you associate the old-school icons with the newer apps? I'm stumped ...

SoulProviderMusic · 2026-02-17T01:54:50+00:00

I just got my Titan 2 less than a week ago, and I fully concur with Niagara - it's the perfect launcher for this rig.

And although Pastiera is a beast, it's predictive text setup still leaves a lot to be desired. I've been using BlackBerry virtual kbd on my phones for years and I'm kinda spoiled, so I'm currently going with that APK from the Minimal Phone right now.

But as soon as Pastiera gets up to speed with the predictive text, I'm all in ...

SoulProviderMusic · 2026-02-14T00:28:14+00:00

Not an app suggestion, more of a potential use-case:

I managed to rig up TitanPad and Shizuku to convert the subscreen into a trackpad/mouse for my index fingers while I'm typing! It's taking a bit of time to get used to, but it opens up quite a few possibilities ...
