I love the TomTom keyboard, so easy to see and I can enter text with my fingers.
Any ideas how this could be done, or other virtual / software keyboards that are similar?
Anyone have a cab or reg edit to stop the sip keyboard to always pop up when u select a text field/box? Like when your using opera mobile, u touch the address bar, the sip keyboard automatically pops up. I always use the hardware keyboard (main reason for getting a fuze and not a diamond!) and still while in landscape the sip keyboard will still pop up.
I know on my tilt there was a way to set it so only when u are in landscape the sip keyboard wont automatically pop up while selecting a text field. The sip keyboard will only automatically pop up in portrait mode while selecting a text field. Anyone know how to set it up this way? Thanks!

If you have Diamond Tweaks installed, there is a registry setting under the #20 Keyboard (SIP), 20.1 Automatic display (popup). Enabling that setting should keep the SIP keyboard from popping up when you select text fields, but it will not pop up when in portrait mode by default either. I don't remember the registry setting to disable the pop up for landscape mode only.

Thanks! This will do for now at least. If somehow knows how to disable sip auto pop up in landscape while keeping it obviously in portrait that would be amazing! Anyone?

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip
"TurnOffAutoDeploy" value="1"
With Opera there is a different setting. Not sure what it is off the top of my head but if you search on the hacking section you will find it.

Thanks, ill try this out too. The diamond config as mentioned above did totally nothing for it, if anything it made it worse. Im sure a reg edit like this will kill it though. I dont use opera mobile too much, just used it as an example. I mainly use opera mini in landscape so it can get annoying when typing in a text box and every time you open it the sip keyboard pops up.

Didn't find a solution for Opera. Although it is not the issue of the keyboard popping up when i touch a text box that bugs me, its more when a page is loading and the keyboard appears for no reason
I use nullkeyboard. yeah, it completely kills the sip for everything, but one can switch it back and forth similar to choosing type of input (transcriber, keyboard, letter recognizer, nullkeyboard)

I think it has to do with flashlite 3.1... As soon as I installed it on my phone, Opera began doing the same thing. As soon I touch a flash object, the keyboard will pop up. Very annoying but I've learned to deal with it.
I am still looking for a fix for Opera.

You can try Mobilnaut SYM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459253
The main purpose of this software is to be able to use the SYM key to add accents on letters, but in addition it will automatically hide the SIP keyboard when you open the hardware keyboard:
It's simple SIP, which means it will be shown as standard input method, but when you click on the icon, no keyboard will be shown. That's useful when you are using hardware keyboard and you are trying to type something, with this SIP no software keyboard will pop up and cover half of the screen. And it's automatically activated only in landscape, in portrait mode you can use your favorite software input method. This program will remember the input method you used before, and when you slide your keyboard back, this method will be set as active.

I installed this one but since I have a FUZE keyboard, I don't have the SYM key where mobilnaut sym thinks it should be. Instead, my SYM is on FN+Space, and when I hit that, I get a pop up list with all the characters for me to pick.
I have no clue how to do it, but if we could have this app work with a key different to SYM it would work!
Hi all,
everytime I open a game like Tonyhawk Pro skater 2, or if i want to learn italian with rosetta stone software, always I see a bottom bar with the sip keyboard. For Tonyhawk its irritating cause i could see the game bigger, and for rosetta stone, it totally ****s up my layout.
I tried reg. edits. HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip
"TurnOffAutoDeploy" value="1"
Tried nullkeyboard program, even tried advanced config, but the lower bar is always there.
is there a way to open programs in full screen? or is there a way to totally kill my lower menubar for wm.6.5?
i want touch input to be my default keyboard or text input, i get anoiyed everytime arabic keyboard comes eventhough i choose the touch input as defualt for texting.. any help will be much appreciated.
use sktools to maneg your default keyboard
I have tried to install different keyboards and select it under setting but it will not change from default keyboard any ideas? Smart keyboard.
go to your web browser or and long press on an open input field. the choose input method and choose your keyboard of choice.
I've checked the box to turn on predictive, but doesn't work? Any ideas?
First, go into the messaging app and open a text conversation without sliding the keyboard out. Then long-press the text input box and choose "touch" instead of swype. Then exit out of that, go into settings > languages and keyboard > and the touch input option needs to read "standard." Also go into one of the other screens and turn on text prediction and spell check (if you want) for QWERTY keyboard.
Now go back into the text messaging screen and it should work.
I don't want to tell you how long it took me to get it to work. It's nice of them to tell me that when the keyboard is slid out certain menu options aren't available that you need to access in order to turn on certain features for said keyboard...
I don't have the option for auto-correct on the hardware keyboard.

unnclespoon, you rock!
@unclespoon, thanks a MILLION. This answered a lot of questions for me. I was going round and round in all the menus trying to find auto-correct. Lame that you actually have to enable this menus from an actual message.

The only reason you need to open a message is to be able to switch from "Swype" to "Touch Input". You can do this on ANY text entry field, though.
For the auto-correct and prediction options, you can go (from the Home screen) Menu, Settings, Language and Keyboard, Touch Input, Hardware Keyboard Settings, then tick the box to enable Prediction.
Edit: Note that you HAVE to have "Touch Input" enabled instead of Swype for the touch-screen software keyboard, or prediction won't work on the hardware qwerty, even with "Prediction" enabled in the menus.
