Guys,
I have no idea how to do this myself, or if its possible, however I am wondering if any of you might know how to develop a way to change the way that we presently use for changing the input type on our devices. At the moment i have to touch a really small area, and just wondering if we can make it bigger or different?
For example, at the moment, if i want to go from keyboard input or block recognizer input (for example) to keypad input, i have to touch the little "up" arrow next to the input pad symbol using the stylus really as its such a small contact area. Is there anyway this can be made bigger so that i can touch it with my thumb whilst on the fly and change input styles?? I hate having to get my stylus out to change input mode when i'm on the fly!
Would appreciate some little tweak to make this a one handed operation! Thanks.

Anyone have any issues with the keyboard on the diamond? I see everyone say its alright but how good is it compared to other phones?
I've used the Diamond and the iPhone and I must say the Diamond's soft-keyboard is much better than the iPhone's. I'm only talking about the Full Qwerty keyboard though.
The Diamond's keyboard can interpret which key you meant to press if you accidentally hit multiple ones by judging the pressure you used. It also has multiple values on the same key, so you can hold "Q" for example and get "1", this removes the need to constantly switch keyboards to input numbers or punctuation.
Try to use touchpal keyboard, it's fine.
help!
oryt?..
jus upgraded my rom on my htc touch diamond
but the keyboards have been scrambled, there is no qwerty, no keyboard and no phone keypad inpuit methods, just a retro small keyboard difficult to use,
any ideas on how to get the old keyboards back?

The Diamond onscreen keyboard is very usable. I was used to the Hermes keyboard and I thought I would struggle with the onscreen keyboard. But I soon find myself liking the onscreen keyboard. One nice feature is the way it is layout and I rarely need to swtich between letters and numbers modes.
hi how is everyoone? hope you are well. I was wondering if anyonoe has been able to obtain the keyboard layout that comes wtih the touch for the kaiser? My friend has a verizon vogue and the keyboard options are amazing. it has a transcriber thatr recognizes free hand writing and also a block recognizer likt the palms had back in the day. any help would be appreciated. sometimes i wanna just use the stylus to make a quick note in Word, but dont have that option
check the input method. you should be able to change it to the other options. transcriber and block recognizer have been around for a while and aren't anything new.
If you open up a program that is expecting input from the user, it should at least display the little keyboard 'button' at the bottom middle section of the screen (unless you have the physical keyboard open). On the right side of that keyboard 'button' is a triangle. Click the triangle and you'll have other input options such as transcriber.
Anyone know of a list of available keyboard apps? Haven't been able to find much on the forum.
Thanks and sorry for the noob question.
Here's a few I can really recommend...
1. Touchpal: http://www.cootek.com/intro.aspx
2. Resco Keyboard Pro: http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/keyboard/
3. PocketCM Keyboard: http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php
Hopefully people can add more to the list but these 3 are my favorites... Touchpal is the best imo and it's the one I use the most...
I'm really starting to like PocketCM Keyboard. It's quick and unobtrusive and has pretty good spelling correction.
What about Phone-pad T9 keyboards? Touchpal is seriously lacking when it comes to the phonepad layout; its so fiddly and buttons are way too small still. All my HTC SIPs are broken since installing the Softbank Keytouch (Japanese) SIP, and i am desparate to find another T9 solution.
Every T9 keyboard i have seen tries to fit too many buttons on the screen, and the space is always an afterthought (tiny little button next to something else). On a regular phone you ONLY need 12 keys to provide text input, maybe 13 to allow you to change input modes. The Keytouch layout is perfect, 12 biiig buttons and 4 tiny buttons down the side for options; but it doesnt have T9 predictive text
Anyone know decent options?
Finger Keyboard works wondefully, see this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=163013&d=1236103349 or search here in xda.
thanks
Here are my findings (keep in mind this is just MY opinion)
- I'm using a HTC Touch Diamond
- I'm using the default orientation, NO LANDSCAPE
Rankings (best to worst):
---------
Touchpal
- largest learning curve
- FASTEST for typing (I'm using the 20 key layout)
- most features (smileys, arrows, macros for web, etc)
- full version costs 12$ (a little steap) but might be worth it, great product
2.) PocketCM and Finger Keyboard TIE
- both are great for FULL qwerty but can't match the speed of touchpal
- had to find skins for both to increase the button size to make it easier to type FAST with thumb(s).
Didn't try the Resco Keyboard Pro
Thanks for the links guys!

HELLO
I am not a devolper and mostly a free user, BUT IVE MANAGED TO get japanese input/output with iphone skin keyboard (without the gestures and loss of t9 and suggested words).
I use a wwe wm6 rom on a HTC TOUCH DIAMOND *s21ht emobile* I didnt necessairly change the regional setting, i used resco file explorer and registry editor. I DONT USE touchflo but spb mobile shell 3.5
IT ONLY WORKED FOR ME AFTER I RESTORED MY DIAMOND TO FACTORY SETTINGS. if you have any other keyboard, resco, spb keyboard, letsjapanno6, im sure it wont work as well, or wont work at all.

TO SELECT SKIN, go to happy tapping input options and browse for required vga or qvga skin for portrait and landscape> I WOULD SUGGEST DOING THIS AT THE VERY END after the soft reset
**for those unaware of happy tapping keyboard, it has an ime button which enables the device to switch from jap to eng. NO Need for ctrl shift, shift ctrl or having to deal with small ms keyboard or other keyboards that dont work appropiatetly with japanese input.
** The ugly side: The loss of t9 function and suggested words, requires more space on your device
>>>> I WOULD AVISE THIS keyboard set up if japanese is a main concern in your daily life and/or you have no need to use the commodity of t9 and susggestive word functions.
I would like to thank flinx1 for the ime and sip name fix and A_C for his happytapping keyboard post.

Hey folks,
I'm very, very new to installing new software on my HTC TD2, but I've been browsing a bit around on the web. Looking for a keyboard that actually works with my fingers. I really dislike those QWERTY keyboards, I simply want a 0-9 keyboard with buttons filling up like 50%+ of the screen, like some samsungs have! I just wanna be able to type while I'm walking and such, not always having to depend on my stylus,
I hope you people get what I mean and that someone could help me out

I crappy image which I've made with paint + touchpad, so don't mind the quality. Just to give an example
Thanks in advance people!
When typing, press the little arrow next to the keyboard icon at the bottom of your screen. Press phonepad
Hi!
Is it possible to install and use the original WM6.5 keyboard and input methods in conjunction with the EzInput 2.1 keyboards from HTC? Now the SIP selector only shows the HTC keyboards.
BTW: I'm using a cooked 6.5 (21891) ROM with manila 2.5.20113626.
Regards,
PK

Figured that one out already, but there are many 'useless' buttons like the: ' | " | and others which fill up way to much of the screen, I'm really looking for something that just mainly shows numbers in a size that makes it very easy to click them!
Just make the link as I posted it in my first post, as I made a little image to show what I mean ^^
Hello everyone,
Is there any way (a registry hack, I guess) to disable vibrate when dialling numbers using the phone keypad? I have not been able to find it anywhere yet. Those short vibrations are -- in my opinion -- useless and only drain the battery...
Any help would be much appreciated.

Dear Hakim,
I am afraid that the mentioned registry hack, i.e.:
Using Resco Registry, go to Hkey Local Machine / Software / HTC / ezsip
Add a new DWORD Value string and call it "VibrationEnabled" (without the quotes) and give it a value of 0.
then Soft reset and enjoy!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is of no use to me, because the string "VibrationEnabled" has already been present and held the value of zero. I believe this disables vibration related to the usual keyboard, not the phone keypad I am concerned with.
Anyway, thank you for your response.
Have a nice day,
nvx
I think there is no hardware keyboard in any variant of Diamond2. Are you sure it has one?
If you are looking for onscreen keypad vibration: Go to settings tab - personalize - Vibration: and you have check box to de-select.
Dear TD2IN,
You are right, there is no HW keyboard in Diamond2. However, there are several software keyboards, e.g. the usual QWERTY one (a "full" keyboard) or the phone keypad (similar to keypads on older cell phones with letters "a", "b" and "c" on 2, letters "d", "e" and "f" on 3, etc.). Disabling vibration upon pressing a key on the QWERTY software keyboard is easy and can be done (as you wrote) in Settings -> Personal -> Input -> ...
However, I am concerned with disabling vibration for the phone keypad (used primarily for entering phone numbers in the phone application) which cannot be done at the same place as disabling vibration for the QWERTY keyboard.
Have a great day.

I will also like to know this if you find solution.
thanks.
