is it possible to have more than 1 keyboard layout installed and switch between them? or maybe have the software keyboard have a different layout than the hardware keyboard?
anyone any idea?
I have never managed to use the hardware keyboard to write Greek characters but there are many options for software keyboards. I use Language Extender.
some guy told me to use PocketCM Keyboard, which i did download and install, but i just prefer stuff thats not an addon as it slows things down etc.
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.

Default_IM_WM5 *Input Method selector-- IMselector*
>>> I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST a soft rest after using IMselector
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.
I hope this helps.
Peace
Hello,
I use HTC Keyboard (Touch Input for Pocket PC version 2.1 - build 1920.2530) that is built in BsB WM 6.5.1 firmware. I use ChangeScreen for rotating screen by gravisensor. I have a problem with HTC keyboard in landscape mode - it is more wide than can fit to my display, so small part on right side of the keyboard is out of the display. Key P is missing completely, half of key L and backspace is missing. What should I do to have entire keyboard visible and usable? Should I edit some registry entry or upgrade the keyboard to different version?
yeah, Bsb Rom has this problem. Not sure if it can be fixed. Search for ezinput 1.6, may solve the problem.
Hi,
When I type with the physical keyboard, then xt9 doesn't work, regardless if i chose this option with the software keyboard or the xt9 options.
I have installed a swedish xt9, which works with the software keyboard.
I am using 826x 23676 rom with HTC sense enabled.
How could this be solved?
if you have problems with your hd2 in remapping hardware keys of your bluetooth or other hardware keyboard and the remapping with aekmap is not working like you want, maybe here is help for you!
i found a solution today that is working for me:
i modified a aekmap mapping-file for my german qwertz freedom universal keyboard 2, then i changed the hd2-sip (softwareinput/screenkeyboard) to anything else, but not the standard-finger-input-softkeyboard from htc, because it seems to cause that not working remapping problem!
a tip: you still can use a good sip-keyboard parallel in use of the bluetooth keyboard without having that problem. i use fingerkb instead. totally free and also available in many languages!
and don't forget to modify the aekmap file by yourself to work with your keyboard!
i will attach my keyboard config for the german qwertz freedom universal keyboard 2 (not version 1 - working in hid-mode) - tested on light modified german windows-mobile 6.5 rom but should be working on all other roms.
known problems for my freedom universal keyboard 2: this keys are not working and also not recognized by the aekmapscan.exe:
<>| = opens start-menu - i tried to map this keys but then i can not use the hd2 win-key, because it's writing a "<" when pressing, so i deactivated it!
alt gr is not working (no characters like @€{[]}\~ etc)
fn key is not working (maybe only with the escape-key)
start-key is not working, use the <>| key instead
i hope i could help someone in the future!
