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.
Does anyone know how to use the standard 2.2 keyboard with the microphone button instead of the TNT keyboard?
Bump, cause I wanna know too!
I'm running TnT 3389 with rothnic's enhancement pack v.1 and the 99% market fix. I'd love to have either the stock Android keyboard or something like Swype beta. Ideally I'd like to have voice input and some navigation arrows for editing. While I'm wishing, any chance of copy/paste getting enabled?
I downloaded the Anysoft keyboard from the official market but can't seem to select it from settings>language &keyboard. When I try to select it as my input method of choice, I am offered the warning about it saving credit card #'s, I click OK, then it goes back to the settings>language & keyboard menu without the checkbox next to Anysoft being checked.
What am I missing?
Can't use alternate keyboard with stock ROM
The stock stuff does not allow you to use an alternate keyboard. Sigh....
EVERYONE should call the Viewsonic support number and demand that they enable all 2.2 capability and not block things. If they aren't allowed to install Google apps, that is OK, but they should not srop things like alternate keyboards. All settings that are in a stock Android 2.2 should be there.
Hi all,
when using my TF with dock I bumped into a problem - the keyboard dock does not work well with 3rd party input methods (e.g. Go keyboard thumb layout). I was looking for an app or some other way to auto-switch current input method when docking/undocking.
When searching and googling I found a guide to auto-display input method chooser dialog when docked/undocked (Here).
Another related guide was about re-mapping keys on the dock keyboard (Here)
Well, my aim is to create an overall keyboard utility that would enable easy keyboard auto-switching and possibly re-mapping less useful keys (e.g. brightness) to something more practical.
I've started working on the application (well, spent a few hours over two evenings ), at the moment it is very simplistic. I just replicates the behavior from the Tasker guide, so that it shows the input method chooser dialog after docking and undocking (plus a config to enable/disable this). I did not want to purchase Tasker just for this.
I know that it is an intentional android security measure that apps cannot switch input methods at will, but if someone has an idea how to overcome this (for rooted devices), please, let me know.
Anyway, here is an initial version. Hopefully, someone else besides me will find it useful. Any comments, suggestions highly appreciated!
Thanks for the effort.
I consider this app as very useful. Unfortunately I cannot help you developing because I'm just a user but again the idea is great.
Regards

I use tasker and confirm this works the same.
Your app does have 1 big advantage over tasker. With tasker everytime I close the tab&dock into their clamshell shape, when I unfold them and the screen turns on, tasker makes the pop up come on even though I did not undock the tab.
Your app does not do this which is great
good work, much appreciated!
Wow, this is awesome! The only thing that would make it better is the ability to switch input methods automatically without the pop-up. However - it is no problem to use the app as it is now. Great work!
OK, downloaded, installed and tested... awesome ! You just took my TF one step further on the way of perfection !
Very good idea, it's working great. SwiftKey tablet x is even better thanks to your simple app. Thanks!

Awesome - thanks!
what an usefull app!i wonder if exists anything similar before....+1 for this little but awesome work mate!!
Brilliant! Now can you make an option to allow it to auto switch between says Asus keyboard layout when docked and Thumbs keyboard when undocked pretty please?
I've found that the keyboard choice dialog does come up when (un)undocking, but that it's "dead" (it ignores selections - NOTHING happens) - I have to tap outside the dialog to make it disappear, and then bring up the dialog "manually" via the settings menu.
Any solution?

both of you, check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118164
using autostarts you can disable that pop up.
using the guide in this thread i remapped my dock keyboard so that i could use whatever soft keyboard i wanted ( i use smart keyboard pro) and the dock keys wouldnt change.
my problem was that the only way i could get the @ key on the dock keyboard to work was with the standard asus keyboard chosen on the tablet, any other soft keyboard and the @ key wouldnt work.
all solved now though!!

turn off the pop op using autostarts
remap the keys however you wish.
Ok, help here, please..
I am lost in all these threads and guides and what not..
What I need is: how to make dock type in Cyrillic Serbian, like the on screen keyboard? I do not need the automatic change of KB, I just need the possibility to type in Cyrillic. When I select serbian, dock stays US and onscreen is changed only..
When you do the remapping from the already mentioned thread, is it possible after that to change to US easily?
Thanx
No pop-up?
Any luck updating this app so that there are two more selections in the configuration screen?
Soft Keyboard when undocked
Soft Keyboard when docked
Then when docking / undocking don't present a user prompt but just change to the selected keyboard?
Thanks!
Great idea! If you could add an option To remember the selection it would be perfect! Anyway GREAT WORK!!!

I would love this.
I like google keyboard (sliding mode) very much, but I can not find the way to disable shortcuts on "comma". If you slide over comma in a "wrong" way, you get either XY, Youtube or something else. This drives me crazy and I have to correct my sentences all the time. How to turn this off? Google has no feedback, no support for keyboard, no reply on a google play store... Anyone, please help! Thank you
I hate this too, sometime i just want to make fun by typing wrong word and then keyboard seriously auto-correct it. Try this:
On stock Android, go to Settings.
Next, scroll down a bit until you see the Language & input tab, and tap on it.
Now, tap on Google Keyboard.
Text correction...
And there you go - you can disable auto correction by tapping on that toggle.
