Hello,
Lucky you English typers The point is that I live in Poland where we have also special characters. On PC I can get those character by pressing Alt + letter. But what about my HTC?
I tried to use Polish T9, but after installation I get the following:
- indeed I have Polish dictionary - ok
- in compact QWERTY I can type special characters (you can change characters by pressing proper button a few times) - ok
- in compact QWERTY the buttons are associated with normal letters and also Polish characters (when I press for example "l" I get words starting with both "l" and Polish characted similar to "l") - ok
- in compact QWERTY I don't have symbols panel - keyboard area is getting black - wrong
- in full QWERTY there is no way to input Polish characters (by pressing "l" for the second time I would like to get such a character) - wrong
- in full QWERTY the buttons are associated only with normal letters so it is almos impossible to use T9 - wrong
So question to all of you - is there any way to customize this keyboard?
Currently black sumbols screen (compact QWERTY only) gets me crazy. Furthermore it would be superb to be able to modify default grey characters (the one that apprears when you press and hold the button) on full QWERTY. Any ideas?
Im interested in other way how to havo only full keyboard or only keypad because I never use compact keyboard and I can save some storage space and also situation for switching between keyboards...

Hi to all,
I am just curios if I set Russian keyboard on my device, how can I use it. I put "Locale" key in "HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\" branch, set string to 0419 (Russian keyboard), shotdown the device, wait 10 seconds. Switch it on, make soft reset, open Word and type using HW keyboard - no efect. I still typing latin symbols instead of cyrillic ones. When however I did that exercise for German keyboard I notice swap of "y" and "z" symbols. Any ideas why this tweak works for German layout, but not for Russian?
Thanks in advance
this setting just makes using cyrillic possible. To switch keyboard layout, press dot button and then [,.] button (right from space bar).
better try to instal resco keybord with bulgarian phonetic
I have been looking in the forum for a solution for the Tilt keyboard. Everytime I ask, someone usually responds pointing me to the Tilt Keyboard Fix cab, that was posted by Taurus Bulba. Installing the cab results in the keyboard being mapped with the ATT layout (enables the CWS layout in the registry). This makes every fn key work as it should, but it kills the Fn+Space combination.
When you key Fn and Space after a character, the characters changes as per what is defined in sym049.txt (or whatever symxxx.txt file you have in the windows directory, depending on your language).
For example, if you type an "a", press Fn and Space, you get an á, then à, and â, etc. Same with other characters. This is important for those that write in foreign languages that require accents or special characters like ñ, ç, € (Euro currency sign), "£" (British pound sign), and any other letter with an accent.
I think the issue is with the CWS layout (CWS being Cingular/ATT). That layout doesn't have the Fn+Space in it; the Hermes keyboard had a blue "á" and "ü" written on the top left corner of the Space bar, indicating that Fn and Space will result in accentuated characters. The Tilt doesn't have those and in fact, when you install an original ATT Rom (no need for keyboard fix there), the Fn+Space combination doesn't work.
The only way I've seen to get Fn-Space back to life is NOT to use the CWS layout. Using any non ATT Rom will allow you to get Fn-Space working, but at the cost of getting many of the other Fn keys mapped wrong: for example, the "!" and the "@" are swapped, the ";" gives you a "%", and so on.
Sounds like the solution would be a keyboard layout that is 99% like the CWS layout, but that adds the Fn-Space combination.
Any suggestions?
You could have just used the other thread my friend.

Yes, but not getting any attention on that one...
Fixing "Fn Space" feature
This kills the word suggestion feature, but enables you to use the FN-Space function again:

You see...i'm all over the place on this issue...
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!
Asalam Alaikum
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 like to thank flinx1 for the ime and sip name fix and A_C for his happytapping keyboard post.

Has anyone else had troubles installing a foreign language keyboard on the NC? Here are my symptoms:
- I am able to install them just fine
- In NookColorTools I am able to see and change to the new keyboard
- When I enter a text field the keyboard pops up fine.
+ BUT When I click to type the Keyboard simply minimizes / disappears
I have tried about every app out there and there is no inherent one. Almost all have the same issue with disappearing. Here is a Summary:
Simeji (the one I want working most) : Any function key, space, enter causes keyboard to minimize
OpenWnn plus : minimizes on any button push
OpenWnn : minimizes on any button push
Simeji classic : minimizes again.
MultiLing Gingerbread Keyboard Buttons work, but holding in letters (for more letters) shows no values in the popup
Very Easy Japanese Keyboard: WORKS... But the input interface is not very easy (ironic)
Google Pinyin IME WORKS completely... BUT its Chinese not Japanese :X
Now I have a million keyboards (probably missing one or two) which I can't uninstall because there doesn't seem to be a way.. and none of them work. Any ideas?
Yuh gotta try this - definite best keyboard i've used.

The Beta worked for about 14 days, and then the phone started doing some random hangs. and after not being able to type anything in a SMS i changed the keyboard back, and my phone is now normal.
Cool keyboard, but might cause problems....
when the beta stops working you might want to try Perfect Keyboard, and Smart keyboard, they have similar options, except importing SMS into dictionary.
Thanks for it
I will try and see
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Premium App
i can absolutely recommend swiftkey. try it guys.
This looks nice. Will try it out...
Go Keyboard problems
1. I use the speech recognition a lot. When I set the Voice Key to 'On main keyboard' I loose the Comma key.
Is there any way I can get both the voice key and the comma key on the main screen?
2. When I use the voice recognition (the Voice Recognition is great, 90% or better) but if I try to edit the phrase it shows because a letter is incorrect. I put the cursor to the right of the letter and hit backspace or space and it pastes the whole phrase in again in the middle of the phrase I am trying to edit. Any idea how to avoid this?
I really like Go Keyboard, but these 2 things are driving me nuts.
Regards,
Mark
