Hello everybody,
Sorry if it is a stupid question but I cannot find a way to have always the same type of keyboard by default (I want the Graphity one), it keeps coming back to the standard keyboard.
Any tips
Thank you
Hi:
You need to go to start/settings/personal/Input
There you select your default keyboard. Make sure before doing this, you open a program that uses keyboard, and select the one you plan to set as default.
After a soft reset however, you will lose your default. If you want to make sure it remains after soft reset, use this cab file. You will find it under programs as IMSelector. You need to choose your default keyboard there also.
Hope this helps
Dear Cincy,
IMSelector is working as I wished thank you very much
I do not understand why it is not standard with WM6

hi all, im using wwe 2.03 tx, and overall, very happy.
just 1 thing, the keyboard. apart from hard reset if you touch the "wrong place", i also got another problem recently.
i installed lexisgoo english dictionary ver. 3. but the keyboard doenst seems to work- no keyboard layout at all when using this sotware.
so, im thinking, can we just install the default old magician keyboard over this rom ? is this possible? if yes, can i have the link of the cab. file , please
thx
I use resco keyboard.
Use this Happy Tapping Keyboard
Use the Happy Tapping Keyboard, is very cool and looks like an iPhone keyboard, you can use also with the fingers.
Happy Tapping Keyboard Instructions
Installation steps:
1. Install HappyTappingKeyboard.arm.CAB (to device, not to Storage)
2. Install Default_IM_WM5.CAB (to device, not to Storage; for WM5 only; if u already have other program which can set the default Input Method, skip this step & use that program instead)
3. Extract the files in ip_AC_Skin.zip to your PDA's "\My Documents"
4. Goto the "Option" of HappyTappingKeyboard (Start->Setting->Input)
- select "\My Documents\ip_AC_QVGA_P.bmp" for the "Portrait Bitmap"
- select "\My Documents\ip_AC_QVGA_L.bmp" for the "Landscape Bitmap"
(if your PDA is VGA capable, select the ip_AC_VGA_?.bmp instead, and select the VGA option)
- press "OK" to quit
5. Start->Program->IMSelector
- select "Happy Tapping Keyboard" as the default Input Method
6. Soft reset your PDA
7. Enjoy!
hi Thanks!! i use this now. just wondering, do you know what are other options means? i saw one is for VGA device, how about the rest? thanks
I use the HTC Diamond and wonder if there is a solution to the following:
When I write an SMS i like to use the "phone keypad", but when I'm in Word or Opera I like to use the full keyboard.
When I change the keyboard I do so for all programs (The keyboard is "Global"), but what I'd like was if the keyboard selected was for the program I was in ("Local" selection of keyboard). This would make things a lot more easy.
Is there already en option making this possible?
Is there software around fixing this?

Welcome to the forum
Do a search for SIP changer, install it, then open in programs and select your desired permanent keyboard.
Good luck and enjoy!
Hi all,
Do you know a way to enable back the original WM keyboard ? I really miss it because of the gesture settings for shift, backspace, space and and enter keys!
Or do you know a way to enable gesture settings in HTC keyboard ?
Thank you.
Yes and I want wm Keyboard ... please help !!! THX.
the same problem
about 5 hours in active search and with no results
does anybody knows it is possible to take native kbd files from wm 6.1?
I'm wanting to test some keyboards before I buy, not sure what the original win mo one is like or how to get it, but imagine it would be quite hard.
Can anyone PM me some links to get some keyboards to try, like Resco etc? Sorry for hijacking!
In sk-tools I have seen under "Eingabemethoden" (= should input method or something simelar) that the standard WM keyboards are just deactivated.
So you can give it a try with sk-tools and reactivate whatever you want.
I will not try it for you because so far my HD is running fine and I want to wait with the next hard reste for the next rom ...
Best regards,
dingolino

Thank you dingolino you are right, the keyboard is still there but hidden or may I say quite buried by HTC
I don't have the registered version of skTools so I browsed the web to try to find a way to enable it back :
First I tried to enable it in registery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4990566&postcount=3
But it wasn't enough ...
So then I tried SIP Change which allows to force to display the keyboard But the little arrow that allows to choose the keyboard still doesn't display the keyboard in the list So for now I have to launch SIP Change each time I want to choose the standard WM Keyboard (which BTW is surprisingly good and finger friendly enough if you enable gestures )
So the last thing I miss is some hack to remove the s*cking uhh I mean HTC "customized" little arrow at the right of the keyboard to display a menu with all the keyboards installed and also the settings for each keyboard. I tried to wander as discussed it the following post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482910 but for now I didn't found a solution that works.
So if someone have a solution to disable the "HTC customized little arrow" and replace it by the standard one please share it with us
Cheers,
Nibbler.
I always used swiftkey on my N1. Now I have a Nexus S and I really like the stock keyboard, but there is no Dutch dictionary on the Nexus S.
Is it possible to import a custon(Dutch) dictionary into the stock keyboard? That would be really nice
You could try this package I created from CyanogenMOD 7 for Nexus S. It can however be installed on ModacoROM as I have and probably also stock nexus s.
It has the dutch keyboard/autocorrect hidden under 'Italian'. I didn't know how to get it under its own language. So I abused the Italian language for that.
I'm not sure if you need root either to install, anyway good luck with it.
If you have successfully installed it, you'll get another Android keyboard in your language and keyboard menu. Select the languages you want and Italian for the dutch dictionary. Please be aware you need to set them in both settings when you click "Input Languages" (it asks you to complete action using).
Should be fairly safe, you can remove it under manage applications and then choosing "Android keyboard". The stock keyboard that ships with the device itself and can't be removed afaik.
good luck.

Is it possible to add custom keyboard languages (that are defined in the SDK) without root?
I think you would need to build/compile it from AOSP. What I'm doing is probably quick and dirty but it works (I'm still new to this android development). Think you need root though to install this.
If you like I could try and make another APK with Swedish keyboard/autocorrect hidden under the Italian language.

That would be awesome!
Oke. Here is the Swedish APK. Select Italian 2 times when you try to select the input languages (for each action).
Might need a reboot to have it work, didn't need it here. Also I'm on a rooted nexus s and haven't tested it without root.
I'v tried removing it from application management, which works. After that you are back to the stock keyboard. Looks safe so far
have fun..
note: I used adb install LatinIME.apk to install this.

Thanks, I've tried but can't get it to work. What do you mean with: Select Italian 2 times when you try to select the input languages (for each action)?
EDIT: Okay, understood. Still doesn't work. Unrooted also.
Hmm.. So it installs and you get another android keyboard in your settings menu right?
What might help is installing another keyboard (free from market). set that as default (select it as input method in browser for instance). go to settings and select the recently installed android keyboard i gave you. deselect all languages in the input languages menu (once for each action popup). close settings, open it up again. select english and italian in input languages (once for each action popup) and close settings.
now open text messaging or anything else that uses the keyboard. select the android keyboard as input method. hold the spacebar and select italian. it should now give you swedish predictions.
i'v seen it here also that it at times didn't give me dutch, but after redoing all the settings it fixed it.
just make sure you have enabled the keyboard in the settings menu and set the settings for it like i said. if it doesn't work i don't know.
Is there any other way to get, for example, the Dutch dictionary in the Gingerbread keyboard, without having to abuse one of the existing languages? Can't you just add additional languages?
I'm using a Nexus S, and I heard that there are versions of the phone that download additional keyboards during the initial setup, based on the location of the phone (network, country, ...), if they have an internet connection available, see for example this screenshot: h~t~t~p~:~/~/~plixi~.~com~/~p~/~67798426 (can't post a link, so just delete all ~ chars).
I'm also wondering if this method won't cause problems when you get an OTA upgrade (e.g. to 2.3.3). Will you need to do it all over again? :-s
Thanks!
Has there been any progress on this? I don't know why android doesn't just include all languages possible. If an iPhone can do it, surely our phone should!
I heard that Android 2.3.3 adds support for a lot more languages, also on the US/UK Nexus S, including Dutch ...
Does somebody knows how to disable Gingerbread Keyboard?
Ik hate that one.. and if i install some other keyboards, gingerbread wont change!?
Please help?
That's easy to do ! You just have to download a keyboard (for example GO keyboard), then you have to uncheck Touch Input keyboard in your preferences !

Haha sounds easy, but i wont help me
I've got a Custom ROM installed on it.. and normaly you can choose between Keyboards, but of i do CHECK an other keyboard, like GO for example, it wont pop up when i want to type something. And yes, normaly it do works, but this time none of the other keyboards wil activate
I had the same problem before but i found a solution,
I maintain my finger on the screen (where the text is typed) a popup appears and i can chose a tab which is named "Mode de saisie" in french (maybe input mode in english) and then the system ask to me to choose between the different keyboards I installed.
I don't know if you understand me, but if you don't you can ask me some questions
