Need Black On-Screen Keyboard!

I really miss the previous On-Screen Keyboards as used in the Hermes Black Roms or Schaps, the ones with numeric keys along the top.
I searched for a OS Keyboard cab, found the perfect "skins" in Schaps thread but it killed the keyboard function entirely. I had to un-install and cold reset to restore it.
I was able to install JJ's Black Shadow Dialer cabs onto my Kaiser which work fine. (I'm using the std Non-Video dialer as I don't have video calling here).
I figure that if the dialer can be replaced with a cab that it should be even easier to have a replacement On-Screen Keyboard Cab.
Is this possible? Man I wish I was a programmer!

I put resco keyboard pro on mine and it works fine. You're right, that keyboard they have one there now sux, especially if you use it to write SMS's or anything else that you would use both text and numbers in.

To get numbers at the top just go to options and change keys from large to small

Oh Man what a knuckle head! One little setting, Thanks ID64! and you too xeno1, I'll check out keyboard pro as well.
I love this place!

if you like some skins for the keyboard, try thses, I have signed them, and they work on my Kaiser very well

Yeah. As a noob I quite appreciate the free flow of info and help here.
I had seen the 'Large' and 'Small' options but had misinterpreted them as if the tiny little boxes for keys would get even tinier.
Thanks. That is so much better than constantly switching back and forth from numbers to letters!!

If you want an extremely impressive alternative, then try this: http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard.php
It's in beta/trial at the moment, but it's a million times better for one-handed thumb-typing while you're on the move...

It's great, I asked for a black keyboard, now I have several skins, Resco's Pro, and PocketCM which is completely awesome.
Add-on Sleuth's app "Sipchange" to be able to pick your normal default keyboard choice and have it stick thru resets and life is GOOD!

I really like the new keyboard as keys are bigger. Much easier to use your bare hand to type. No need for a stylus anymore...
Sure that the numeric keypad is on another keyboard is sometime annoying but overall, th ability to use your finger is heaps better.

A tiny keyboard

Wonder has anybody tried this tiny keyboard... It would be perfect if it has BT.

I haven't tried it, but since it's a normal USB keyboard it should work with Athena no problem.
What could be more interesting is if this one is working and if the trackball is working - that would be much cooler...

How about this one with BT but at 8x the price...

Does anybody know of a bluetooth keyboard for windows mobile (the Athena in particular) that has the EXACT key layout as a BlackBerry keyboard? I'm soo used to the BlackBerry keyboard and really don't want to learn another keyboard layout. Thanks.

EZ-Input 2-Like SIP Keyboard

I am looking for an SIP keyboard similar to EZ-Input 2. I really like how the keys are so big an easy to use, almost like the Iphone keyboard. I can't use the one in the developers sub forum, since I just discovered that it was the cause of my hardware keyboard to not function correctly. If anyone has a version of it that works, or another suggestion, let me know. Thanks.

Try using FingerKeyboard 2.1. I use it and it's very good. It has haptic feedback and pops up the keys pressed just like the iPhone Keyboard. Very good from my part.

Thanks. I have used it before, and will be using it again now for the time being. I was wondering though if there were any keyboards with even bigger keys though? This would make typing even easier.

HTC_IME, much better keyboard than stock

So, for me, the LG keyboard on this phone was pretty annoying from time to time, ignoring keystrokes, the auto-correct was terrible, words not in the dictionary needed to be added from the settings, and I just wasn't used to it. Installed gIMpSTa's HTC_IME mod and could not be happier!
link to his thread here @ xda
You can pretty much make the kb whatever colors you like, add your own background, just make this phone more "you" Not sure if people know about it or not, but definitely worth checkin' out.
I used v27-froyo high res.

Thanks I like this keyboard much better

Also, through the settings, u cn set the volume keys to scroll left/right while entering/editing text which I find awesome and extremely useful on this phone never thought I would miss the trackpad on the incredible but I do. Haha

Im using the gingerbread keyboard

I just use Swype.

I agree that the stock keyboard sucks. I like swift Key X beta, but have tried Gingerbread Keyboard, but really like Go Keyboard.

I paid for Perfect Keyboard after trying basically everything out there, and have stuck with it. I ran with Hacker's Keyboard for a long time (it's AMAZING), but the landscape mode in Hacker's Keyboard I couldn't deal with any more. I wanted a regular keyboard in landscape mode and Hacker's keyboard in portrait mode. I couldn't achieve that with Hacker's, tried basically everything in the market, found Perfect and it does the job (for me). Might not be your thing, but give it a go. I'd HIGHLY recommend Hacker's Keyboard (especially if you do a lot of ssh'ing from the phone) and I think its free too

Ditto. I bought Better KB way back and really like it too.
I never understand why reviews make such a big deal about the stock KB. It's seriously the easiest thing to customize on your phone aside from maybe the background.

[Q] Using apple keyboard on Note... any problems?

Hi all,
I want to get a BT keyboard for my Note. Will mainly use it in Open Office.
Where I live, the only BT keyboards I can find are the apple one and the Logitech BT keyboard for the ipad.
I gather that even though these are designed for iOS, most of the keys will work OK.
My question is whether or not keys like the CTRL and ALT keys will work OK.
I would want to use these quite a lot in Office and Gimp.
I've seen Logitech do the same keyboard for Android, but I can't find it here, so I'd have to travel to Bangkok. Most places don't ship to Thailand
Has anyone used an apple keyboard on the Note, and specifically in Open Office?
thanks,
Rich

The Zagg Mate probably will work good for the Note. That's the one I have although now I think it is just the Zagg keyboard. Go look it up, zagg.com.

Thanks. The Zagg Flex looks nice and compact.
I've found quite a few people using apple keyboards with Android on youtube, but they are mostly just navigating around the OS or typing a short memo.
I'm not sure if the apple CTRL and ALT keys will work in Open Office or not (I think they are named different keys on the apple keyboard, but I'm hoping they are the same work like a CTRL and ALT key in Open Office).
