Disabling/enabling MS smartdial

How do you disable the MS smart dial function (not the HTC one, that's simple)?
I'm working with the raw AT&T rom (hard reset w/ soft reset before customization/AT&T crapware installations) with a few simple cab installs (HTC home primarily), KaiserTweak, and the HTC black theme to complement Touchpal (slick UI, man). I turned off the HTC smart dialer. I wanted the dialer skin to have the WM button styles but for the color scheme to fit HTC black. So I went into HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin "Enabled" and set value to 0 and soft reset. The dialer turned out grey and silver and perfect, except for the big white, nasty MS smart dialer window. So I go back into KaiserTweak and it shows that I've set the MS smart dialer to active (instead of the HTC dialer). But I didn't. So I reset it back to the HTC smart dialer and soft reset. Now my dial pad is all ugly blue/green. So I redo the registry skin change and it's silver again, but the WM smart dialer is back. I can't get this darn thing to go away. I've checked the forums and all I can find are posts relating to installing the Touch dialer w/ smart dialer active, but no specific registry keys that control the MS smart dialer. I'm sure this is simple, and I manually scanned the registry for it, but I'm suffering from a bout of stupidity. Help?

Patience, my friend - Rome wasn't built in a day. Someone will have some ideas. I too would like to know the answer to this question, so I will continue to research on my own, and check this thread every day or two to see what develops.

When you press call (Green) key and dial pad opens press Menu - Smart dialing Options
and uncheck Enable Smart Dialing

Still nothing on this!
I'd like to be able to do this too. I'm using Celedial with WM6, and it works well enough, but it does lose focus from time to time when the built-in MS SmartDialer steals focus.
(When I choose Menu->Smart Dialing Options from within cprog.exe, nothing happens, however before I played with the registry, the option within that section was disabled anyway. I think that relates to the HTC Smart Dialer anyway.)

Use schaps Advanced Configuration Tool, go to: Menu -> More settings -> ClearType. Make sure the checkbox is unchecked for "Enable ClearType on screen rotation." Click Done and soft reset. If you don't have Advanced Config, find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151

WM6.5 - Disable Notifications Left Softkey for SMS/Email/Missed Call/Voicemail?

I have the "Display Message On Screen" unchecked for each of these, but the left softkey still changes to "Notifications" when I have one of these. I would like to disable that.
When I use Manila, it appears to be disabled, but I also know it uses its own reg keys for those softkeys and not the built-in Windows soft keys.
When I use Titanium, I don't need that notification message since I can tap in Titanium to get the message.
I just think its kinda redundant and I'm not sure why Microsoft wants both.

Nobody has any ideas?

I found notification settings under HKLM\System\State\Shell\Notifications.
There are 3 keys in this tree that I think control the display of the Today SK.
I haven't played with the registries but possibly setting Active to "0" would stop the notifications.

Active is a key, not a value you can change (like a string, dword, etc).

Sorry, mine shows Reg_DWORD = 1

I did some research and found that for missed calls (the other types of notifications don't really bother me) one can delete - with resident Mortscript for example - the following reg keys/values (while the notification is active):
HKLM\System\State\Notifications\Active\
"CLSID={A877D660-239C-47A7-9304-0D347F580408}"
and
HKLM\System\State\Notifications\{A877D660-239C-47A7-9304-0D347F580408}\
This effectively removes the "Notification" from left soft key, but leaves the taskbar icon (and skin items / alerts for Phonealarm) intact - which is perfect to my mind.

TocuhFlo 3D Disable Text Sent Notification

I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 from Verizon with all OEM software still. It is running TouchFlo 3D front end on it. Every time i send a text message the notification pops up saying the message was sent. This is annoying bc it wont let me type anything else till it goes. The notification comes up in a window in the center of the screen and it looks like its from windows mobile not from the touchflo. I look through all the setting and changed tons of things and nothing, i went into the registry and it was already set to disable it but it is still there. I think the touchflo is triggering it even though windows says not to.
does any one no how to turn this off?

Yh,
Search for these two apps here at XDA and install:
netcf3.5 & advanced config 3.3 (install in that order). Once these have been installed go in to advanced config, where you will find a setting to disable sent notifications.
If you merely wish to hide them, you should be able to go to sounds/notifications and untick display message on screen for sent text (although doesnt always do it)

great program! has a lot of nice options that i like.... but all the setting to disable the notification are already set to disable... grrr
i think the touchflo software is somehow overriding the windows setting and making it come up.

ok, i guess its not the touchflo... i closed out of touchflo, rebooted and sent a message and it still gives me the notification, even though all setting say not to and reg setting say not to

Ok i figured it out. When I was searching around i kept coming across this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
* Click on Inbox and select Edit -> New Key
* Name the New Key as “Settings“
* Click on “Settings” and select Edit -> New String Value
* On “Value name:“, enter SMSNoSentMsg and in “Value data“, enter 1
* Soft reset your Windows Mobile device and test it with one SMS, and you will notice that the SMS Sent bubble is being disabled
Now when I went to that registry I was already there and already set to "1". The problem I finally found was that it was set as a DWORD and I had to delete it and rewrite it as a STRING. Problem Solved.

Setting keyboard "show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show" doesn't work

Setting keyboard "show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show" doesn't work
There is a problem that we are experiencing for long time. Please, star it in order of Google devs see it. Thanks.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39729
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Make sure the Android Keyboard is set as your input method.
2. Navigate to settings > Language & Input > Android Keyboard Settings
3. Set "Show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show"
4. Open Google Now and tap the search box
5. The Android keyboard is displayed, but does not give suggestions
What happened:
When using the Android keyboard, suggestions are not always shown to you as you would expect. A proper description of current "Always show" implementation is "Always show...with some exceptions"
(Note: This is presumably because textNoSuggestions and/or TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS is set for the inputType in the apps where suggestions are not shown)
What you think the correct behavior should be:
1. Keep the current implementation of "Always Show" but rename it "Show when enabled" or just "Enabled" (or anything that doesn't have the finality of "always")
2. Add new implementation of option "Always Show" that ignores the app's preference for showing suggestions and actually ALWAYS show suggestions.

Bump

only suggestion I can give is, stop using any custom roms. they dont focus on this little s***... it woks fine with my straight stock but rooted..

How? I'm using stock rom in my Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus and it's terrible to use the swipe feature of keyboard.

Bump. Still in 4.3.

Bump. Please star it.

for anyone still looking for a solution there is the Kii keyboard on the play store which offer the option to keep the correction bar visible while retaining the same look and feel of the original Google keyboard.

Need some help with this Feature!!
I struggle to have this option work correctly on any of my keyboard apps not only google. Allot of times theres no suggestions and what happens is the auto-correct feature kicks in instead. Now i rather have the correct way to spell a word or options for similuar words above the number keys on my keyboard. But instead theres no suggested words at all and my typing becomes etrocious and words get spelt with numbers randomly placed around and nothing corrects however words do, I guess you say the oppisite of correct? I might type "Thanks" allot and because ive hit "5hnks" hitting "5" by mistake makes the keyboard think "thats a new word, let me add that to my dicitionary" and now "thanks" becomes "5hnks" and many words that begin "Th" are now replaced to "5h" because the keyboard has auto learned Incorrectly thinking its being smart to learn how you type, Does this make any sence? its anoying when i dont cath the mistakes.. I want a better working "Sugested words" Option?

Have you found a solution?
I have tried here:
- Go Keyboard (my favorite)
- Hacker's Keyboard
- Swiftkey Keyboard.
- Cute Emoji Keyboard
Only swiftkey and Cute were able to show predictions/suggestions everywhere.
