Hi all,
First off, my first post here, so be gentle .
I'm looking for a keypad or keyboard to install on my Vario III so that I can type SMSes with one hand whilst on the London Underground. As good as the keyboard is, it requires two hands to be usable.
I've used the HTC Diamond keypad / keyboard pack that's on these boards, and another one after following a rabbit hole, and although they do as I want, they removed another functionality: Whilst typing on the real keyboard, I lost the word/ name suggestion box whilst typing! I find this box very useful, not least in the names section, and don't want it gone.
So, in brief, can you guys recommend a one-handed keypad for SMSing, which doesn't lose that word suggestion box functionality?
Many thanks guys!
Hi,
I tried thumbkey but it is a little buggy
Touchpal (especially the last Version, 3.0) is perfect for me...
Hi szdavid,
just had a little go on touchpal now using the trail version, and although the suggestion box was there, I'm more of an 'oldie' when it coems to texting i.e. dislike T9 or any predictive texting, and it took a couple of different areas to get one char up (choose the button, then the character).
I'll try the other one once I get up tomorrow. Thanks though, and any other suggestions out there?
If I were you, I would get the Touch Diamond Keypad.
It is just like it is on a regular phone. I will attach the CAB as well as the other Touch Diamond Keyboard.
The .CAB in this attachment is all 3 Touch Diamond Keyboards. 1 is Qwerty and 1 is the Keyboard and the other is the Keypad.

I've tried that one, and I loved it, except for the fact that I lost the suggestion box above the cursor, which is important to me (which is why I uninstalled it).
Is there something like that, except without the loss of that functionality, please?

did you hit the ABC<->T9 toggle button second in from the left on the bottom row, it seems to give me exactly what you want..
I running the qwerty keyboard for info !!!
tengo thumb gets my vote.

I might try that Tengo one, and Jerwick, I did press that button, but it still didn't give me back the suggestion box.. I'm not sure you know which one i mean...
I think it's the keypad /board's own predicter that's causing the problem and stopping the cursor suggesttion box...
any tips?
I do know what you are talking about. On some occasions, it doesn't work for me either. It has some flaws- but other than that, it's about as basic as you can get.
pie, I never got it to work unfortuneatly, and I guess I use the inline thingy mor than the one-handy thingy
guess that means that there isn't one with the same great functionality as that diamond one, then
ive actually started using the full keyboard one handed. slide it out and type with one hand, its hard to get used to.

You're good, I can barely type on the Tilt keyboard sitting on the table with cut fingernails. I just can't get used to the feel, travel, feedback..... something.
OH, ANd THis ANoys ME TOo if I type too fast.
Right now, I'm using the resco keyboard which has already been mentioned.
I was wondering if there was one similar to that with bigger buttons? It would make texting while doing other stuff much easier using both thumbs.
Sometimes hitting the right key with the resco board is difficult as well.
Coudl we get the Diamond keyboard .CAB on another server? Please, we cant access megaupload in this country.

There is nothing better than the Touchpal once you learn to use it period.
-McMex
Touchpal is the best for me hands down...
It offers several input methods ranging from QWERTY to T9...
And you can skin it very easily.

It's been on my 4shared the entire time.
it seems like there are a lot of avodcates for the touchpal one, which I did like, but wasn't entirely happy with...
I might end up with it because it's the nest of the lot that I've been recommended, that and maybe the resco one
+1 TouchPal for me
I am wondering if anyone is good enough to help me.
I have got the chinese diamond recently, but there is not a "proper"qwerty keyboard available. It only has a T9 qwerty and it is a right pain in ass when you want to write shorthand or slang!!! Has anyone got the normal keyboard for me to download into the little dime to make my life easier?
Appreciate any help available!!
i just turn T9 off...
i know that is the simpliest way, but it still leaves me with a problem where the input of the i have to press 1-3 times to get the correct letter - like the "phone keyboard" or the "compact qwerty" keyboard.
It is 1 button shared with 3 letters. I need a keyboard where it is 1 button to 1 letter. Sorry...
You can download the normal QWERTY keyboard for your chinese diamond in HK's HTC-eclub. Just visit HTC website and you could get it.
cheers!! i check it out!!! thankalot!!
hI CAN ENYONE TELL WHERE TO SEARCH FOR FINGERFRENDLY COMPLEET rom LIKE 3D ROTATING CUBE, FOR MY P3600, ROM IS DIAMOND BY AKEO BUT SARTED SLOWING DOWN?
Haven't got a ROM, but i have installed iContact and ThumbCal along with TouchFlo to give me a finger friendlyish Trinity.
thanks
I allsow instaled icontacts but mj fheme is not hevinh no moovment so it is boring and mj sms kejebord is tiny eaven for a tylush, rotating the c\screen is very complycated when worcking something...etc.
so i thought that new ROM wih are all ine some complicated palaces of the forum, is going to be fine.
thanks again
For a keyboard i am using CooTek's TouchPal, it works just fine for fingers. i rarely rotate my Trinity so cant pass comment on landscape issues.
manila

As for the Manilla stuff i can't answer as i have never tried it.
Not sure on CooTek, it wasn't free at any point wjen i installed it. Just looked and it seems as though all the features i use are now in the free version, pooh. . Well i sometimes use one of the other keyboard layouts so i guess not
thanks very mutch
I tried to flash a rom ,and it broked in botloader ,i tried many other ros and only RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship instaled secsesfuly, and seems it do not have SMS at all.....so untill I solve rom problrm i do not need a keyeboard...
I have recently updated to a fairly stripped down ROM (it only included the bog standard Keyboard thts way too small to use with finger).
I really like the HTC Keypad as it's easy as hell to use - but I've just tried to install it by installing EZinput and its showing about half the proper resolution - I think its QVGA. This has been a problem now for about 3-4 days and I absolutely despise having to use a QWERTY keypad. Currently got SPB keyboard on it (tried Resco too but its rubbish).
Can anyone upload their original diamond keypad or even an installation cab with all the VGA keyboards in? (qwerty, phone keypad etc).
Would be a great help!
Thanks guys.

download the keyboard of your choice (with arrow or without arrow)
That should work for you
does this have a keypad as in standard with * and # keys?
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
* 0 #
That style? Thats the one im looking for!
Thanks btw! didnt even know that site existed
This is the alternative if you want it in a keypad format
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
The difference between that and the previous one is there is no XT9 which is similar to T9 but with word prediction. Hope this helps
You my friend -
are the biggest legend in the world. Thats the stock VGA diamond one - and thats what I wanted!
Thank you so much.
p.s the damn no-arrows diamond2 one wont work... any idea why?
it wont let me select it :-(
Try this one: http://www.everythingdiamond.info/downloads/Savage25rcracer_TD2_K_NA.cab
That's the one that I cant select! :-(
Think I'll just need to change ROMs again.
Woooo. :-(
Just tried to install that keypad linked - wont work. Also wont uninstall.
The one with the arrows works but its damn annoying.
I think i just found out that EZInput is a HTC addon only working with touchflo (which is called manilla?). Could someone confirm/deconfim that please?
I'm running a ROM called Revolution which runs titanium (without touchflo) - it frees up more ram which i really like (i kept running out of ram).
I really really hate that qwerty keyboard since it's so hard to hit with a finger (not using the stylus a lot) i remembered the old htc input thing that would put 2 or 3 letters on one button (old t9 style or the compact thing i think it's called?)
How can i install a keyboard that does that for my titanium?
Nope EZInput works with both Manila and Titanium. I think the input you're refering to is called the Phone Keypad. You could try out my latest ROM, you can choose between Full Qwerty, Compact Qwerty, Phone Keypad and Swipe inputs. (please read the instructions before you install my ROM)
...but if you want to stay with your current ROM then there is a registry edit that you can do to change your current input to Phone Keypad.
Ok thanks for the input I might check out your ROM, atm fighting to get WiFi working again...
