Auto Suggestions Pop-Up

I am sorry if this has been answered before, but I can't find the answer anywhere. How can I change the auto suggestions from the one that's in the screenshot to the older pop-up version?

Have you looked under start-->settings-->personal-->input? Once here select the input method you wish to use and customize it all the way. This should inlcude adding your own words to the dictionary/pop up suggestions etc.

I don't know the popup you mean but it sounds to me like it belongs to an older keyboard. You need to install that keyboard, if you can find a VGA version.
Failing that you could try another keyboard like Resco or TouchPal to see how you get on. I think the T9 system in TouchPal is great, a whole other level better than the HTC keyboards.

I was wondering how to get the word suggestions to the one in this screenshot.

Ths thread explains it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445959
short version: disable T9 and use a different keyboard...

You can't use that one with HTC's keyboards. That belongs to Microsofts' built-in SIP's. I find HTC's much better and quicker to use. If you've only just changed from the 'old' word suggestions from Microsoft, maybe you need a bit more time to get used to them. Other than that, you'll have to use Microsoft SIP's instead of HTC's.
I'm sure if there was a way to resolve your issue, some wiz-kid here would have already done it

I forgot to mention this, but I am not use HTC keyboards. I am using PocketCM Keyboard v0.20.

I figured it out thanks to Steve in this form post #21: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425405
Here is the suggestion which works!
found this in another thread
changes for auto complete
IMPORTANT: previously be sure that HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0.
Simply change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409
Ime File : \windows\xt9ime.dll change to Ime File :\windows\compime.dll
and
Layout Text : XT9 IME change to Layout Text : COMP IME
And soft reset.
suggest words in a drop down list as in WM6

How to remove words from built in keyboard dictionary?

I've searched around these forums and google and no one seems to have asked this question. I find that the software keyboard often suggests non-words as if they are in the dictionary (e.g. ia, pu, br, and a lot of other short words) that make mistyping correction a lot less effective than it can be. Is there any way to excise these useless words from the built in dictionary?

Dont think so just take off auto correction =D " Setting - Locale & Text - Device Keyboard - Auto-replace =D ''

Yes but I would like to keep the auto correction... for example when I type "ia" I want it to autocorrect to "is" instead of "ia", which it doesn't do because "ia" is somehow in its dictionary

Norwegian Apple Wireless Keyboard settings and how to make your own

I have a Norwegian Samsung Galaxy Tab and Norwegian Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Norwegian letters "æøå" on bluetooth keyboards are not supported out-of-the-box, so I searched forums without much luck. I found some helpful threads and decided to solve the problem and share the solution. Others can make their own modified keyboard settings quite easily using the same methods.
Using "adb logcat" I found that the keyboard layout files used were the "Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kcm.bin" and "Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl" (might not be the same on other devices - CHECK!). I had the "adb logcat" going while connecting and disconnecting the keyboard, so that I could see what keyboard files were used by the apple keyboard. I made a backup of these and started modifying them, with success.
DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU DESTROY YOUR DEVICE WITH THIS!
I offer no guarantee this will work for everybody!
HOW TO USE:
"Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kcm.bin" --> /system/usr/keychars/
"Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl" --> /system/usr/keylayout/
I did this simply by copying the files with the app "Super Manager".
Make backup first. My backups are included just in case.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN KEYBOARD SETTINGS:
I used a hex editor called UltraEdit on pc to change some symbols in the .kcm.bin-file, and I used the "KeyTest.apk" from github to make out all the scancodes and used them when editing the .kl-layout file in Notepad on the phone.
NB! If you use the hex editor, make sure you always change one symbol at a time and always do backups for each little change. Whenever I did some change that the system didn't like, it would turn to using the "qwerty.kcm.bin" as default, then I could use the backup to make it work again.
This is my first attempt of a sort of contribution to this great forum after
using it for years. Hope that others can use what I have learn't to make
their own settings. I have attached my original and edited settings files,
and a picture of the keyboard with scancodes.

I would be so happy if you could provide us with a swedish layout aswell as I am not so into programming!

Nice find, qsarklam!
Could you post some info which hex key is which character, and how to identify individual buttons in the hex editor?

I have exactly the same issue, need though the German layout. Can anyone from you help me with this?
I would also appreciate the Swedish layout so count me in that one aswell.
Thanks!!!

Spanish anyone?
Same issue, but in Spanish. The wireless Apple Spanish-ISO keyboard mostly works, even the Ñ, but some letters are not right and accented characters like áéíóú don't work. Also, the caps lock key LED doesn't light.
I tried using HexEditor on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab to edit the binaries but I can't figure out what maps to what so I'm stuck.
It's just so frustrating to have that nice keyboard sitting around. Would be a waste to have to buy and carry two keyboards, one for the iPhone and another one for the Tab.
To make matters more complicated, I like running the Galaxy Tab's Android UI in English, and I have a Mac so I can't run the suggested bin editors for Windows.
One would think that with the OS X being Unix-based and Android being Linux-based it should be as easy as copying a keyboard layout file from the Mac (or the iPhone) to the Tab, but it seems there is no such luck.

This thread is great! Anyone who has made a Swedish layout for the Apple Wireless Keyboard yet?

... I have attached my original and edited settings files,

I've got one apple wireless keyboard also, and i'm remapping it. Does your Fn button works? How did you manage to find the scancodes from the F1, F2 ... keys?
Are you able pass the lockscreen with the keyboard? without touching the screen i mean.

For those who are not rooted or just don't want to mess with a hexeditor I've got an app that takes care of this and allready supports a lot of different layouts:

Enable Dictionary - Thumb Keyboard

I installed the thumb keyboard beta on vegan ginger and it works great. My only issue is that it doesn't seem to have access to the dictionary. It will make a few suggestions that look like they might have been mined out of my contacts since some of the words are unique but on the whole, the typical string of suggested words is absent when I am typing. Although I have enabled everything in the settings for the keyboard it can't even fix i'll automatically. I'm sure there must be a setting - but where?

Please install gingerbread keyboard from the market, and your dictionary should start working for thumb keyboard.

Found the free one, installed, had to select the dictionary, then i noticed the option for input language under the thumb keyboard and none were set, once i set it to english i got the dictionary/spell check working on the thumb keyboard. Not sure if the input language option was there before or not but this works now.

Solved!
I installed the FBI keyboard as directed and my thumb keyboard is now suggesting words like it should. This is great! Thank you! Now... can you explain why? I'm very curious.

[Q] Bluetooth Keyboard and Spellin'

I miss the auto word suggestion / correction from the on screen keyboards. Any apps / software that you guys know of that will either give me suggestions while I type on the physical bluetooth keyboard? Or possibly something that underlines misspelled words and allows me to correct them, similar to most word processors?
Thanks!
