[App] Arabic Keyboard for WP7 - Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games

This is a simple try to work around the lack of an Arabic Keyboard or input methods in WP7 phones.
It's a simple App that implements the Full Arabic Letters, with the (Tashkeel) Symbols to make it able to write in Arabic.
The Letters still lock disconnected when writing , but it gets parsed right when copied and pasted into search queries.
I have included a fast app bar button to quickly mark all what you have written for easier copy/paste experience.
The app still supports the English keyboard by tapping on the textbox itself. Tap anywhere else to get back to the Arabic keyboard.
it supports both portrait and landscape modes.
Here's some screenShots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just search for the app in the market place for Arabic Keyboard with this icon
This is the app link (it opens Zune directly)

Great . Thank you very much

I have just known that If I rebuild the app using the mango sdk, it will actually connect the letters, that's exactly what happened
I'm just curious about updating my marketplace app, if I updated it to mango , will the old wp7 users still be able to download and use it ?

You can upload 2 versions ... 1 for Mango & the other for Nodo

Your app is very helpful but it needs to be updated to connect the letters and to resume quickly without reloading the app and erasing what was written.
As you see now there are some apps that shows Arabic letters connected
Ex: Feed Reader and Whatsapp.
Most users are using Mango Now.
Please update it.

The mango version is already done, it just takes time to get validated from MS Marketplace...
I think by the end of the week it will be released.
Meanwhile, you can check my other keyboard that allows you to write in ASCII and ancient Greek

Impossible to download Gmail app for Diamond

I want to check my email through the java app that gmail allows to download, but when you try to donwload it, it appears this error message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And if i download the english version, i can download it, but its really small! Its impossible to read messages:
Ok. What program do you recommend to read gmail emails without using the pen? i prefer to use fingers on the screen. And i dont want any program that downloads the emails to the PDA, just check emails. Thanks
You can go in the menu to menu>open>parameters and uncheck "use small fonts" (don't know actual names for the menu and the option in english, since I use it in french).
Fonts will remain quite small, but usable as far as I'm concerned.
For the spanish version, I have no clue.
I use internet explorer to access my gmail account, and it works fine.
Opera won't work
Works with opera here ^^ (might be lucky ?)
I'm sure you're aware of this already, but just in case you haven't actually tried it...
The diamond's email setup handles gmail nicely. If you add a gmail account, it auto detects the settings, and it works in an imap style, so you just view the messages rather than downloading them off the server completely.

I succeed in downloading and installing the ENGLISH app at the address
http://gmail.com/app
but characters are WAY too small and zoom doesn't work
EDIT
solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2426977&postcount=24 :
in a nutshell: double the values of HKCU\Software\JBlend\AMS_Font_Size, VM_Font_Size0, VM_Font_Size1, and VM_Font_Size2

Keyboard pad, Symbol pad and ??? pad

Another way of input? Recognition of hand writing ?
Yeah, the xperia has handwriting recognition enabled.
I think it's only for english and some other languages ( not too sure, but I have used english handwriting )
but how it switching on ?
plz make screenshot
Haha too lazy to take a SS.
In order to do it, when you're in Notes or something else, click on the software keyboard icon between the two softkeys.
When the keyboard appears, it has a white arrow next to it, click on that.
Once the list of keyboard options appears, you can either use "Letter Recognizer" which is better for regularily printed letters.
Or, you can use Transcriber, which is good to recognize cursive, numbers, and letters.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Well, I did get the file for Tytn II some time ago, but it did not work on the Xperia. Don't know why. Installed and pretended to work, but could not recognize to "touch" on the screen.
It is a program built by Microsoft, I used english and french versions (on my last PPC). Personally I would guess that there may be a version for VGA phones, but have not tried to find it yet.
Point is that I've been tweaking my Xperia for only some 3 weeks now...

SwiftKey keyboard
SwiftKey is like an English professor is alive and working inside your phone. It’s still in beta, but it’s already an amazing little application. What makes SwiftKey different is its ability to predict the next word in your sentence. Predicting the current word is so 2009! Of course everyone loves things that make our lives easier - things like correctly guessing what word comes next. My only issue (and it's a small one) is that you can't enter words that aren't in the dictionary by pressing the spacebar and moving on. You have to actually tap the word to get SwiftKey to enter it.
To sign up and check out the SwiftKey beta head over to SwiftKey.net. It's really polished for a beta, and to be honest I'm planning on using it as is until they release a new version. At the moment SwiftKey is English only, but the developers say that they plan to include support for all the Latin based languages in the near future. No word on availability and pricing of the final version, but by the look and feel of the application, it shouldn't be too far off. Keep an eye on their site for details, and be sure to let me know if you see it slip into the Market before I do!
Pros:
Amazing full word prediction
Easy to add to custom dictionary
Also predicts punctuation
Special characters are easily entered by long pressing
Cons:
Learning curve
Can be laggy when first starting up
Will always pick the word it thinks is correct, so be careful with the spacebar
File remove by moderator. If anyone wants it then download it through official channels such as Market.
very interesting thank you for sharing
are your app could use "return" key on messaging? im using htc magic and very frustated with htc magic messaging cause i cant press enter key
some way to quicly switch languages would be nice :\
My two cents: LOVE the design, not ugly at all (to me, anyway), it was never slow, ran perfectly on my MyTouch 3G, COOL haptic feedback adjustment (CM6 much? ), its cool to long press for "!" and "?" (among others), and the keys are easy to see and tap.
9/10!

Quick Dialer is a fast and reliable speed dial app for Mango.
Quick Dialer features a qwerty keypad to search trough both contact names and phone numbers (searches trough all numbers and is optimized to avoid problems with location/country codes).
Besides the qwerty keyboard it also has the option to switch to a phonepad for T9 style contact searches, both names and phonenumbers, for an input longer than 4 digits only phone number matches are being returned.
For speed improvements the contact images are switched off by default (however if you like you can switch this on in the settings).
The app is simple and elegant, yet has all the basic features, like adding a contact, calling mobile/home/work/etc numbers and also gives the option to send a text if the contact has a mobile number.
* Only contacts with a phone number will be returned (because its a dialer )
* To quickly dial a number not in your contact list, simply type in the number (you can also paste the number) and click on the dial# icon.

works flawlessly ... great job... thanks
Quick Dialer is available in the marketplace now! Version 1.1 is also submitted for review and should be available within a few days... This version will also have a free trial. Ill post the links soon

Thanks

Samsung keyboard handwriting not working?

I've been trying to use the handwriting feature next to the space on the keyboard with the T. I am able to write in the space provided however nothing happens when I write in that space. Is this an issue for anyone else?

I have the same issue on a stock T-mobile note 5
It used to work for me and I think it stopped after the last update.
I use the alternative option by hovering over the text field with the S pen input icon and that way works.

I do use that method now, since Direct Input works. Is there a way to prevent the keyboard from coming up all the time? That's the frustrating part, the phone keeps pushing this keyboard at me and it doesn't work. I can draw on it, but it doesn't trigger any recognition.
I had to add the input language to my phone for keyboard handwriting to work. Even though the keyboard had English(US) as an input language I still had to download it for handwriting recognition.
I went through direct input window and tap held the language button until the options page popped up and downloaded english(us) for that. Then both handwriting methods worked for me.
