Number pad key mapping on the keyboard - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

Hello All,
I dont know if this question has been asked but i have looked under everything i can think of.
I love my touch pro but the one thing i dont like about it is that the numbers are across the top and not embedded in the keyboard like other htcs and other keyboard phones.
Does anyone know of a good program that has mapped the number keys to letters on the keyboard. I am not talking about an onscreen app but something that has or would allow me to map the numbers directly to the keyboard.
Thanks

Either switch to Fuze keyboard layout, or try MagiKB Lite - with this program you can assign most any character to most of the keys on the keyboard.

Scandinavian characters (ö,ä)?

How can I map scandinavian characters (ä, ö) to my hardware keyboard and how to get them into the on-screen digital keyboard as well?

I use Resco Keyboard Pro (Screen Keyboard, I don't know if it works on the hardware keyboard as I have an Alpine, you can set a secondary the keyboard language, and just press a key on keyboard and you can swap to a Norweigan keyboard, I know cause I have a sister in Norway.
Download demo from here to try out.

So it can also remap the hardware keyboard?
-John
No, you allready have it. Pres 'a' or 'o' button, then doublepres dot button. After that pres space for as manu times than 'a' becomes 'ä'. Enjoy!
Is there not a faster way? Like a registry hack that would give "ä" when pressing "a" twice very fast? I think that would be a lot faster method - doubleclicking "a" rapidly to get "ä".
Could this be done with a registry editor?

Hej! How do you make this characters with Swedish ROM? I don't have it here, so can't say. Do you know?
The other way is to install Aekmap and remap buttons according to the way you want them to (ae.inc.ru)

I don't have a Finnish version of the Wizard so I can't download these (wrong IMEI). Could you please email the Sym-patch.exe to [email protected]
Thanks!

I tried Aekmap but I just couldn't customize it. The menu was hard to use, is there a help file somewhere?
PS. Also, I can't see any scandinavian letters on the Full Screen Keyboard.
I don't know why everything has to be so hard with these Win CE devices, I never had problems finding easy to use programs for my Palm devices...

I use SPB Keyboard Pro, you can set a secondary the keyboard language, and just press a key on keyboard and you have your characters, I know cause I have a sister in Norway. In fact I use a lot of their software, which has improved the WM2003 no end.

Well, in order to make it work you have to read an AEC FORMAT section at Aekmap page.
You may contact me via ICQ or by PM and I will explain you in details if the web-site doesn't give you a clue.

This is the most simple way to get scandinavian/Swedish charset on your device.

No tweaking needed.

Hi, resurrecting an old thread... I just got a new HTC Wizard and I can't get the softkeyboard from http://www.epocket.no/tastatur/ to work.
I installed it, and it shows up on the Remove Programs menu but I can't use it... I mean; I can't find the program anywhere and the softkeyboard looks the same as before.

Vote the best Text Input Method

Interested to see what everyone is using for text input and what they believe to be the best out of:-
Block Recognizer
Keyboard
Letter Recognizer
Phone Pad
TouchPal
Transcriber
Tengo
Slide QWERTY Keyboard
Other
Where is PCMKeyboard?
Where is MessagEase?
PCMKeyboard for me too when I'm on the move.
But surely it's a no-brainer...The hardware keyboard tops the lot?
First choice = The hardware keyboard (of course!)
Second choice = PocketCM Keyboard with my own layout
I voted keyboard, because I assumed that was the hardware keyboard. Until I saw the option for the slide-out qwerty keybard. So subtract one vote from keyboard, and add one to the slide-out.
That can be subjective
Best text input? Wow, that can be very subjective to ones own personal tastes and needs. For me the slide out keyboard is what I use for any doc I'm composing with high character count. For, lets say I just want to enter a user name and password, I will use the on screen key board. And for maybe making a running list (like a grocery list) I might use Transcriber.
I have not voted, firstly because Pocket CM does not appear in the list and secondly that I am undecided between Pocket CM and TouchPal. While Touchpal allows me faster typing but covers more screen real estate making it difficult to handle spreadsheets with frozen headers of more than a few rows
pcmkeyboard really doesnt work very well with window animations :<

Same for me.
Resco Keyboard
I voted other because Resco does Not appear on the list. I have the TMO Wing with the Querky Keyboad but find I always use Resco. So I guess I prefer Resco with the stylus.
The slide keyboard is by far the best method in my opinion, but only after I used the AE Buttons Plus to inactivate the two small soft keys of the slide-out keyboard. Before that, I would hit the left soft key by accident when typing R or T and this would activate the Send command and make my email fly incomplete. There was a thread for that recently in this forum which I started ,and it gave me very useful guidance.
PCMKeyboard is the best on the move but at home i use the hard ware keyboard

And me! Arse.
PCMKeyboard with no doubt is the best
I always liked the HTC T9 pad when i had XDAs without hardware keyboard like on the TytnII and Exec (not counting my Ameo cos I hated the keyboard on that). However, when I installed it on this phone, I found an annoying behaviour where I would select a word but it would put only the first letter of that word in the conversation or message. Very annoying indeed. I have since hard reset the device but have not tried again with any T9 based pad due to time pressures.
Did anyone else have this problem?
I use MessagEase...
...since my old good Palm T3!
the reason i bought the phone is for the slide out keyboard.. lol
I've yet to find any input method I liked as much as Fitaly. So I voted Other.
Slide-out for me, all the way . Got so used to using the MDA Pro keyboard that even though I've had my Vario 3 only a few days I got straight into my stride even with the odd few button changes.
And as has been mentioned 'tis one of the main deal breakers for me too!

Question about T9 and the Xperia keyboard

For a week I am a lucky owner of the Xperia X1. And it is everything I thought it would be!
But I have a question about the T9 function.
The Touch Pro suggest words (and has a T9 function also?) when entering text with the keyboard, is that also possible with the Xperia?

To a certain extent, it can suggest up to 4 words (or possibly more if you edit the registry) and that's enabled via the Options menu for the keyboard SIP. Personally I feel the Xperia's implementation of the autocomplete and especially autocorrect isn't nearly as robust as the Touch Pro, but something's better than nothing.
You can still install the Touch Pro On-Screen keyboard and T9 if you don't like the X1 default T9.
But does that improve the autocorrect/autocomplete functionality for the hardware keyboard? I read somewhere that installing that will actually disable whatever autocorrect/autocomplete feature that's currently on the Xperia.

no it'll break the autocomplete function when using hardware keyboard.
the only thing i dont like about my X1 is the difficulty in SMS text messaging
is the on screen keyboard you guys are referring to the same as the on screen touch panel when you go to dial a phone number?
the same as 'traditional' phone keyboards?
if so, where can i download this function at?
many thanks

Yea, but why use a software touch keyboard when u got a nice hardware keyboard to work around with?
I find the hardware keyboard much more of us. And one of the reasons I (we?) brought the Xperia because of his hardware keyboard.
i do like the hard keyboard, but the thing i loved about my older SE phones was i could use the T9 predictive text, and text very fast and effortlessly using the predictive testing and the traditional keys, where as with this, sending a SMS is quite an effort!
so is there an on screen keypad the same as when you press the receiver button and see the keypad?

LOL... I spent ages trying to find the perfect soft keyboard for my device after losing the ability to use my favourite (PPCLink HiKeyboard) because of screen incompatibility. THEN it dawned on me! I actually have a hardware keyboard, I just forget it's there sometimes DOH!

Did anyone find this yet?
I saw something about being able to access a t9 phonepad when using the chinese keyboard but it wouldn't work on my x10 and I loathe the qwerty boards on this phone.

Hardware Keyboard - Keymapping is COMPLETELY off...

I own an AT&T Fuze but since I'm not with AT&T and I'm with T-Mobile, I flashed to the HTC 1.90.405.1 ROM. Now don't get me wrong... With few exceptions, this ROM is actually almost exactly what I was looking for.
My main MAJOR problem is that my hardware keyboard mapping is completely off. I can type text but formatting characters such as "-" and "?" and "_" and the Fn and Caps keys and even numbers (0-9) are not mapped correctly and so I can't figure out how to type properly on this keyboard.
My question: Does a cab file exist that fill fix this so that the keyboard will be mapped correctly?
you need to install the fuze keyboard cab. Search for it.
EDIT: here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2855122

Thank you so much. I'm going to use this until I can get the money together and then I'm just going to change the hardware keyboard keys to the ones from the actual HTC Touch Pro.
Then I will never have to worry about it again.
Thanks again bro.
lol your welcome. I dont know i like having this keyboard layout better than the original touch pro because i noticed that i used the symbols a lot more than i do numbers when i am typing a text or email or notes.

Physical keyboard mapping

Hello all,
I have a G1 which, I assume, was originally German as the physical keyboard layout is QWERTZ instead of QWERTY.
I have set my Locale to Ireland and the Z and Y keys work as I would expect them on a QWERTY keyboard (I can ignore the legend on the keys) but my problem is the keys that need ALT pressing, they are mapped to, I assume, the Locale (Ireland) but the legends on the keys are not. So, If I press ALT and E the keyboard legend is the Euyo symbol but I get an underscore. I assume that on UK or Ireland QWERTY keyboards, the legend printed on the key is underscore.
Most of the time this is not a problem but editing documents or using terminal is a real pain!
Is there any way to change the mappings so the symbol I gewt is the same as the legend on the key (without changing my locale to Germany!)
Hope someone can help (by the way I am an Android Newbie having spent many many years on Windows Mobile) so please go easy on me!!!!!
Mike
anyone can help????
I personally have no idea how to do this but I think I can point you to the right people.

PM original posters of either thread and they should be able to help you out.
Also, some alternative input methods on the market have the ability to map keys as well, you may want to look into it although I don't know which ones are good.
Good luck.
