Recently I've been getting into some gaming (particularly NES/SNES emulation) on my PPC. I'll be buying a PPC Phone Edition soon and was wondering if anyone can tell me whether the slide-out QWERTY keyboard of some models such as the TyTN/Herald could be used for gaming purposes (or do they only work for text entry)?
They are useable by ANY program aslong as it is coded for
Unfortunatly my experience of SNES emulation was that on my TyTN (Hermes) the gamepad was the touchscreen, and half the screen was taken up with the GUI for it.
But this thread cropped up a while ago and i think a version using the keyboard is on the cards.
Thanks for the quick reply mrvanx. I was originally thinking that we could have a real landscape screen with a full QWERTY keyboard for the emulation - similar to how it is on a desktop PC now. That would add a whole new dimension to PPC gaming. It would help immensely with other emulators such as FPSEce as well. It seems from the thread that the emulator in question would need to specially detect the keyboard - and that you couldn't just assign a key on the keyboard to an action in the emulator (as you would a normal softkey).
Now can someone tell me if it is technically possible to write a program that runs in the background, which simulates softkeys? For example, the program could do something like this:
create Fake softkey 1 = 'a' on keyboard
create Fake softkey 2 = 'b' on keyboard
etc.
and then feed "Fake softkey 1", "Fake softkey 2", etc. to the emulator (specify Fake softkey 1 as the X button, etc.)? That way, it should work for most games without them needing special reprogramming for slide-out QWERTY keyboards - and you can have let's say 10 fake softkeys (much more softkeys than you physically have on your device).
Just a thought...
Are there any tools that can customize the Software Input list so that it's not such a mess choosing what input I want to use?
I love having all the options the Fuze gives for inputs, but I personally like using about three different types of input depending on the situation the rest are mostly in the way 99% of the time. I mostly use Block recognizer, Japanese input, and Full QWERTY, in that order. The problem is that two are in a sub menu, and if I go into landscape mode the issue is compounded by not enough room and up and down arrows.
As it stands my list of inputs are:
Touch input settings
English *w/ sub menu
Phone Keypad
Compact QWERTY
Full QWERTY
Block Recognizer
Other *a sub menu leading to:
Options
Block Recognizer *again*
Japanese Input (added by .cab)
Keyboard
Letter Recognizer
Transcriber
I'm not sure if it's a "smart" menu because I don't remember Block Recognizer being on the front page at first.
It would be great if there was a program to re-order this, or a reg edit we could make to rearrange things.
For one, why is the language option at the top of the list, do the majority of users need to change back and forth between languages that much? I don't even really know what it does, different spell check I assume?
Options and settings are great but they can be in the back, one they're set right I don't change them anymore.
And for marketing purposes I can see why the legacy inputs are shuffled to the back in favor of the latest and greatest, but for those of us old school users who started out on Handspring Visors and Palm III's we want out familiar inputs without having to hop through hoops.
And the Japanese input isn't something that can be duplicated in other ways, you can't lookup unknown Kanji with a keyboard. Meanwhile the front screen has 3 of it's 4 input methods taken up by keyboard inputs that are really just variations on the same thing, on a phone that has a real slideout keyboard to boot.
I'd really like a way to fix this so that the most diverse inputs that go beyong the physical keyboard are on top, in front. And the multiple redundancies for the real keyboard are in the submenu or on the bottom.
It takes just a few reg edits to customize the SIP list.
[HKCR\CLSID\...]
(HTC SIPs)
{198D503A-...} = Phone Keypad
{36BC8FF6-...} = Full QWERTY
{62B00599-...} = Compact QWERTY
(MS Default SIPs)
{42429667-...} = Keyboard
{42429690-...} = Letter Recognizer
{42429691-...} = Block Recognizer
{F0034DD0-...} = Transcriber
(Japanese IME SIPs)
{0CBEA010-...} = Tegaki
{1D07E4B2-...} = Kana
{BB6E8371-...} = Kensaku
{BDE4F120-...} = Romaji
Under each, you will find a key IsSIPInputMethod with string (Default) = 1. Change any of them to 0 to disable the SIP.
However there are some annoying caveats. Stock and most cooked ROMs use HTC's eT9 IME by default which gives you the fancy Diamond-themed pull-up list (to match TF3d). The eT9 IME reserves 2 spots in the list for HTC SIPs (as noted above), so if you disable all three HTC SIPs you will get 2 blank/black rows in the menu. I don't think there's a way to customize the exact order of the SIPs either, they simply appear based on which ones you previously selected. And I also don't think you can remove the Language selection sub-menu. You can change which options are available (ie: remove English, French, German, Italian, and/or Spanish), but you can't remove the submenu entirely.
There is one cooked ROM (can't recall which) that has the eT9 IME and all HTC SIPs removed completely, leaving you with the standard MS IME list (just a simple popup list, no fancy TF3d-themed list), but it also removes almost all extra HTC software leaving you with a barebones ROM.
Fortunately, PQzII makes life a little bit easier by letting you choose separate default SIPs for portrait and landscape modes (which also overrides the default SIP after a soft-reset). You will still probably need to dive through the list once in a while, but at least PQzII coupled with removing any SIPs you don't use will clean up the list and make it a little easier to find and switch between SIPs.
hi
since I have WWE ROM with European languages that I don't need, I would like to remove the keyboard layout for Czech, German exc'
do you know which registry values I have to change in order to achieve that?
I just did that a week ago. Use the "Input Methods" feature in SKTools to remove what you don't want to use. When removing the SIPs be sure to specify one of the remain SIPs as default. Also, be sure to select "remove from registary" also. This will make sure that it does not show up again.
The registary edit that is listed above does the same thing SKTools does. Also, as listed above, if you delete one of the HTC SIPs, like Compact QWERTY or Full QWERTY, you will end up with a blank spot in the selection screen. I am still trying to figure out how to get rid of that...
Hi,
I'm looking for an alternative keyboard with a similar layout to that of the default windows keyboard.
To be specific:
- Standard QWERTY keyboard with keys arranged like a normal keyboard (not aligned vertically; ie must be zig-zag)
- Vertical height should similar to the default keyboard
- *Must* have numbers and punctuations visible on the default layout (ie, I shouldn't have to change to a different layout just for pressing a friggin "." like I have to do in PCM)
- Should have Ctrl, Shift/Caps keys on the default layout
- Should support gestures (like for backspace, space, caps etc)
Of course, all the above are the features of the standard keyboard. But the reason why I'm looking for an alternative keyboard is due to the lack of:
- Skins
- Word/Phrase Prediction
--
In case no such keyboard exists, I'm willing to settle for a T9 keyboard which works exactly like that of a mobile, where it's easy to switch between numbers/alpha/custom words at the press of a button. So for eg, if I want to enter "dexter", I should be able to press the keys in the sequence "def", "def" (twice), "wxyz" (twice), "tuv" , "def" (twice), "pqrs" (thrice). The word should then be automatically added to the dictionary (or prompted to). (All the T9 keyboards I've tried, like TouchPal, are inconvenient to use for typing non-dictionary words ). Oh, and once again, the vertical height of the keyboard should be as small as possible.
My OS is WM6 on a 201Mhz/48MiB PPCPE.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
[deXter]
if you use a different layout to the default pcm keyboard then you can see the full stop aswell as the qwerty and as for having numbers and qwerty at the same time with them being a good size is a bit mental. id recomend getting pcm and getting the theme skin called 2many iclone. the is a layout called 2many., this makes the comma and period visible. and its skinnable. and fyi if you hold down on the 123 button itll pop up with the numbers for you
try the htc keyboards (such as the opal ones)
Hi,
i got the idea to develop a new keyboard, i just really don't know how. So i was wondering if anyone has the knowledge to create it.
My idea is to use the standard htc keyboard, and remove the bottem row ( the arrows, cause i don't really use them often) to have more room for the other keys. This way we can have square keys instead of rectangles.
The main problem for me is that the standard keys are to narrow in width, so its hard to press them with my fingers (thumb) .
i have added an image to show what i mean.
Anyone whats to help me or explain to me how to develop this?

Oh dear sweet baby Jesus...
What *is* that?! That's the bastard child of Qwerty and the annoying alphabetically arranged keyboard from satnav units!
My friend, absolutely no insult intended, but that is well and truly the worst keyboard layout I've seen. The key size is determined by the fact that most of the English speaking world have a keyboard layout with the top row of letter being QWERTYUIOP. Messing with that will irritate *everybody* who uses it.
Have you tried turning your device on its side when typing? The keys get much larger...
EDIT: Piccy piccy http://htc-phones.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/htc-touch-diamond2-keyboard-software.gif
haha, ok , thanks for your reply. I must say, i see your point.. Q-P in first row etc is the standard and everyone is used to that.. So not insulted in any way.
didn't thought of that.
im not used to typing in landscape mode, but i'll guess i give it a try. Still i think the buttons are just TO SMALL to type with your fingers without making a fault now and then. Guess i'll just switch to a bigger screen phone in the future, cause i just don't like texting with my stylus.
Thanks again for your reply.
Have you turned on XT9? I make mistakes on the very odd occasion with small words, but any more than 4 letters and it seems to pick (or at least display) the correct word most of the time, even with typing errors.
I'm almost as fast as I was on Nokia keypads now (after around a month and a half with the phone), and I was damn fast on those keypads...

thnx for the tip. I switched to spb keyboard 4.0 , fullscreen mode is perfect for me!
I have another suggestion for those wishing (and able) to work on HTC keyboard: Without changing any layout or adding keys, there are quite a few blank, unused keys in the 2nd numeric keyboard, and those blank keys are screaming for a use...a clever Ctrl for example, to allow cut and paste from the HTC keyboard without having to start another keyboard...;-)
Those key are not recording presses, so it can prove difficult to implement, but still, the global layout and all other key actions would not have to be changed, and the layout for the 2nd numeric keyboard is exactly the same as the 1rst one, with all key assigned and recording presses, so I assume it still can be quite simple to add hooks for special action and some pixmap for the missing keys
i'd love to see a ctrl button as well! the press and hold ctrl function is to long-winded..

If somebody could mod the HTC keyboard to have a ctrl key that would be wonderful !

How did u use the ctrl key when its not on the keyboard :S? Do u have a different keyboard installed on? This seems like a really good idea, should be useful
I would also love to have the "ctrl" key back.
Anyway, its getting harder and harder to "cut&paste" as we progress from wm6.0 to 6.1 to 6.5. Even highlighting texts becomes difficult. Its like taking steps backward and having to scarifice just to be finger friendly.
I love the Full QWERTY from HTC but it lacks the ctrl key. And yet they remove the MS Keyboard on the WM6.5. Seems more like a slap in the face for using WM.
This is the reply you will get if you are kind enough to remind them of the missing keyboard. And note the part about RAM sizes....
"Thank you for contacting HTC.
With regards to your query, we are quite sorry that wm 6.5 has taken away the MS keyboard and Block recogniser due to the RAM size consideration. Also, all HTC models does not come with 'Ctrl'function.
Sorry for the inconvinience caused.
Best regards.
HTC
Hotline: 1800 238 7788
Service Hours : 8 am - 8 pm, Monday - Saturday (except Public Holidays)".
I rest my case.
Try out FingerKeyboard 2.1, you can easily customize it to make your own layouts as well as integrate cut/copy/paste functions.
If you want an already-made solution with big landscape keys as well as cut/copy/paste functionality, try my BIGkeys layout. Link is in my signature.
Thanks Losdrivare. Will try that.
Seems like HTC is becoming like MS on not listening to their customers....

No need a CTRL key with this method when (exemple) you long press one of the mapped "hard key" "Topaz Keyboard Controler" send the CTRL and C. Then you can continue with the default keyboard
And you know what since the last version of "TKC" you can use TRIPLE press (if mr Tarkim add the QUAD press i will remap all the keyboard with the hardware key...just kidding ).
You should give it a try. If needed i can upload my config for "TKC"

thanks man, a lot of them which i didn't know yet. Let's test..
Edit Aug, 16: I have found out that the XT9 subsystem is used for specifically our docking stations. If you go to Settings -> Languages & Input -> ASUS Keyboard -> About, you'll see the big stupid XT9 icons. Therefore, our keyboards have to be using the XT9 database files and the only way to procure different languages seems to be via ASUS (that's what Nuance's site said anyway). The manipulation of the keyboard dock layout mentioned below seems to be our only way until 1) we procure these additional language files from a different source (might require tweaking), 2) someone with an XT9 license makes the files for us, 3) we find an editor that we can use to create / edit the XT9 files, or 4) we find out how to rework the keyboard framework to use different altogether.
Because of the way our system uses the XT9 subsystem, the JB keyboard update itself won't help us. Officially, it all depends on what ASUS gives us to enable additional langs/layouts for our keyboard docks.
---- Original
All right. Here is what I have collected thus far regarding the way that Androids handle keyboard layouts. I put it here in development as I'm sure only the people in this area would really have an interest/use for it. As I still have yet to satiate my own curiosity and preference for a different keyboard layout, I do hope that somehow someone can figure out how to get us proper alternative keyboard layouts.
----
Our keyboard layouts are spread into 2 separate data form categories: the buttons and the characters. The buttons are the real buttons (physical keyboard or virtual) that have a specific numerical identifier. The characters are the glyphs and their various states that can occur when using character modifier buttons (shift, control, alt, etc) when the associated key number button is pressed.
All of these values are found in "/system/usr" with those found in the "keychars" directory being for the glyphs and the "keylayout" for the arrangement of button number with associate character represented. Both types of files (".kcm" for characters and ".kl" for layours) are really just text documents and seeing the association between the two is easy during comparison:
Example: 'A'
in the "Generic.kcm", it is defined as
Code:
key A {
label: 'A'
base: 'a'
shift, capslock: 'A'
ctrl, alt, meta: none
}
while in the "Generic.kl", it is defined as
Code:
key 30 A
Therefore, Key 30 is Mapped to Key 'A' that can have the states 'a' or 'A'.
Unfortunately, these two files that constitute a layout are combined in the XT9 subsystem and not totally used "as is". There is a configuration text file for the XT9 database that can be found at "/system/usr/xt9/config/databases.conf" and in there you can see mappings of languages to database files (also note that all are derived from QWERTY format). You'll notice that the databases are of type ".kdb", ".ldb", or ".dat". A quick search on the 'Net will tell you that the ".kdb" is a keepass file and ".ldb" is a Microsoft Access file. These are wrong! I suspect they are both the same file type but I do not know of what type they are so I cannot view nor edit them. I have tried the "suggested" programs and I tried SQLite since that format is used for our "registry". I'm thinking that they might be T9 database files but I haven't found an editor to even verify that hypothesis.
The organization used to create our layouts is highly flexible and therefore really complex. There's some type of combination of format + language that is calculated in order to determine the correct layout to use. No wonder ASUS (and practically everybody else) has limited keyboard layouts. Additionally, this scheme also controls the majority of our hardware keyboard buttons as well.
For the physical keyboard dock, we have direct ways of manipulating the hotkeys or brute-forcing the layout within our grasp. The hotkeys are somehow contained in our "/system/app/keyboard.apk" and for the basic layout, all we really need to do is modify the "asusdec.kl" to shoehorn our preferences into the system.
An example to test if you want a DVORAK keyboard layout is to copy & paste this into the asusdec.kl and restart (back up the file first!) and it should now be in DVORAK format (though it will not be selectable from the menu). Same thing for the "Generic.kl" - edit the chars associated with the key numbers and the buttons will change values. I do not recommend this method as it is hacky/evil/dirty/bad and all sorts of other negative adjectives. However, until a better way is found, it may be our only real way of modding the keyboard the way we want.
I humbly ask if there are any of our beloved geniuses with further knowledge on how this system to please post additional information here in hopes that maybe we may create better keyboard options for our devices.
Thanks for reading
PS: Found out that Jelly Bean will have additional keyboard layouts. From this thread, "Android 4.1 includes 27 international keymaps for keyboards, including Dvorak." That's a good thing.
Wow, thanks. The information you've provided, is really helpful, and well layed out.

I'm glad that you think so though I don't know how helpful this post will actually be. This is a rare topic to find information on and even rarer to find information that is directly useful. However, I hope that the information I provided would be at least enough to give us a direction when/if development for keyboard layouts start.
Maybe I'll go over to the Prime forums later to read up further on any advancements they have made.

I've already contacted ASUS regarding is_IS layout and they will not support it, so I would not hope for much change there. It would be great if ASUS would release some kind of remapping tool so we could map the keys correctly ourselves.
I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread, and will post if I find something interesting.
Okay, after googling a bit I found an app called External Keyboard Helper Pro that allows me to enable my layout perfectly on the dock.
I'd recomend people seeing if it has their layout of choice.

I had modified the .kcm and .kl files in ICS and had successfully mapped Bluetooth->Mute to be F1-F12 while allowing Caps lock (when on ) to restore those buttons to their original function. I had also modified the Lock and Wireless buttons to function as Delete and ESC respectively. I had made a few other changes as well. After updating to Jelly Bean I made a backup of the new files that had overwritten my edits and then recopied my edits over the new files and rebooted. The edits no longer worked at all and most of the keys I had made changes to now did nothing. I then tried to restore the backups of the files I had changed and then rebooted but nothing changed even though they were seemingly back in their original configuration. Does anyone have any clue as to what might have happened?
Also, anyone else have any success in JB in changing their layouts?

No i'm in the same position you are in i managed to edit my kcm file exactly how i wanted it for ICS but now i have "upgraded" to JB and the changes have been lost it appears JB does not use the files in the XT9 folder at all and i cannot find out how to edit it with JB!!! Very frustrating.
All i want is the backslash key to be a backslash in UK "mode". It is producing a # unless i change modes which is very annoying each time i want it. Wondering if there is any other solution than to downgrade back to ICS?
Please help us someone!
Thanks
