Upgraded phonepad text entry?

Firstly, may I say this is an excellent forum and a mine of useful information. I've had my Wizard (O2 XDA Mini S) for a couple of weeks and have found all sorts of useful stuff on here for it, so thank you very much.
I do have one gripe about the Wizard compared to my last phone, a Sony Ericsson P910i. The T9 phonepad text entry program is a bit pants. It's partly because it uses the screen rather than dedicated buttons, but mainly because some of the features in most T9 phones aren't there (or maybe I just can't find them).
For example, I want to type "pet.". I begin by typing 738, which comes up initially as "set". I scroll across to "pet" and then type 1 for ".". However, the text jumps back to "set." instead of "pet.". This, frankly, is a pain in the ass.
So, in short, are there updated phonepads out there that are more intuative than the standard one? I've searched on this forum, but have only seen different skins, which only change the look, not the functionality.
Many thanks in advance for any advice, and once again, well done on such an informative forum.

Funny you should mention this. I ran across this earlier today...(I had alot of time to play around here today)
Check this out. http://free.tengo.net/ I have not installed it myself, but check out the demo, sounds pretty cool and might help you in your quest.
If you do install it please post your results so we all can evaluate.

I had actually downloaded that already. It's quite good, but it's for use with the stylus and doesn't work with one hand (the buttons are too small).
Give it a go if you write a lot with the stylus, but it's not what I'm looking for. Thanks anyway.

buttons and keyboard now disabled... how to fix ?

Hi!
I have posted this as a new thread because I think many would skip a thread about Japanese input because maybe not interesting for the majoirity.
Original thread is here
Basically. I have the ability to see Japanese and inout sorted but the buttons, jog wheel and keyboard do not work.
As soon as I delete Asukals Lets Japan No. 5. the buttons, jog dial and keyboard work again. But of course, I loose Japanese.
Is there a HKEY LOCAL MACHINE/Software/?????? value that can be changed or checked out to see what has happened ?
Any advice appreciated!

Your probably better off posting this question in a Japan forum since not many of us ever use that type of thing

thanks austinsnyc!
I have posted this in other forums too.
Maybe someone can offer a solution ! Other than to buy a Japanese OS device.

Austinsync may well be right. It seems you have already looked into this in a lot of detail. I assume you have already gone through these:

thanks Mike,
I have been through those too!
I want Japanese input but unfortunately, when I install all Kaiser buttons, jog dial, keyboard functions are disabled.
Many pages in those links seem to want a Japanese device not to display Japanese anymore...
I will keep searching...

Today Screen Plugin Question

Ok, This may be the wrong forum to ask this, I'm not sure. If it is the wrong forum, can you point me in the right direction? Couldn't find anything better via Google. The reason I chose this is because I own the AT&T Tilt and you all seem very knowledgeable about windows mobile and this phone.
I am trying to create a today screen plugin that just parses information (a picture) from a website every hour or so.
There is a Google gadget for a Japanese word of the day, and I have contacted the creator and asked if it would be possible to get the source for the gadget. They agreed, and gave me a web page that has some information about it.
Just trying to parse the web address for the word of the day image from this web page http://www.hitsalive.com/japanese_wotd/wotd_png.php then display that picture on the today screen.
Is there some simple plugin I can start with and edit you think?
Thanks for your help! (or for pointing me in the right direction)

HI,i know this french link : http://www.codeppc.com/evc/plugintoday/timetoday/timetoday.htm
Good luck to create your plugin !

Thanks for the link! I don't speak french but my friend http://babelfish.altavista.com/ will translate it for me
Hopefully I can get started after I get off work tonight. Thanks for the help!

problem viewing sms

hi, when I open a new sms or email it opens but its scrolled down right to the end so I have to scroll up to view the start of the message.
Anyone got any ideas as to whats going on or how to fix this problem?
Thanks guys Really appreciate any help you can give on this.

Need to disable D-PAD navigation. Use KaiserTweak or AdvanceConfig.

Hi folks,
Nice one, thanks ecltech, its all back to normal now. It wasn't a huge problem but it was starting to get annoying. So I’m thankful for you helping me sort this out.
Grizzley, not sure what the link was supposed to point to, but it just brought up the advanced search form on google.
Cheers once again
John

That was the point Grizzley was trying to make - this issue has been asked several (countless times) and keeps getting reposted. He is trying to suggest searching for the answers to your questions before posting - chances are, 90% of your questions have already been answered (at least twice). The last post regarding this issue is on page 2 or 3 so wouldn't have taken much searching.
Sounds pedantic but that at least 1/3 of the 260-ish pages are repeat posts - would make the forum much easier to navigate if everything wasn't repeated so much.
Anyway, welcome to the forum. Guess you'll know next time....

Different sort of keyboard issue...

Hey guys. I just recently updated my Tilt to Dutty's latest wm 6.1 WWE (4/28/08) & radio 65.14.06. The problem I'm having isn't the standard tilt keyboard fix or a cleartype issue (I've seen someone post this type of question before only to have the Cleartype solve it). My problem is when i type in a document or even a sms (anything that involves the keyboard) it seems like my thumbs are moving faster than what I'm trying to type. Its rather frustrating. Here's an example since I'm typing this on my Tilt anyways:
Red foxes jumpedt he river bed only to finda wolf hiding int he bushes. He atet hem oneb y one.
Besides my lame story skills, you can see what my problem is. The really weird part is that when i do force myself to type slowly, the text will even "AutoCorrect" itself (i.e. Ate them = atet hem) to look misspelled/fractured. Also, my backspace button likes to choose not to work, turning itself into Delete when it wants to (but no other buttons are affected). Any ideas or cabs I haven't come across yet?
Also, the auto correct hardly works as it is. It won't provide apostrophes where needed.
Thanks for everything guys!

I'm not trying to yell at you, I just have a Reputation to uphold regarding this.
DISABLE XT9!!
So Search for that CAB in the File Repositories and it will fix your issue.

Doesn't work. No, really, I had this issue before it was installed and still have it now.

Option 1:go to setting---input---Word Completion---Clear stored entries. This will delete all the incorrect words which have been remembered by the phone. After that, try to type slowly.
Option 2: Disable the Auto Correct function
See if that helps.

Which version of HardSPL do you have installed?
Try installing one of the latest ones or see in the ROM thread which one the chef recommends.
