Anyone else want to donate for a on screen keyboard? - G1 Android Development

I will pay $10 im sure you can get allot of people to pay up and make a nice mint on a keyboard that should not be to difficult

I'll Throw $10 for a virtual keyboard. But it has to be like the Iphone's VK not the WinMo one!

Im in.. Paypal $10

i would have been in too if this [http://androidcentral.com/android-virtual-touchscreen-keyboard-coming-2009/] wasnt true!

Yeah... I think I would rather wait. Also a shapewriter keyboard would be cool.

You dont have to donate $10, isn't a few dollars worth not waiting for the keyboard in jan/feb?

I want a SureType virtual keyboard, I really liked the HTC Diamond keyboard with the 20 key input.

I looked into making a virtual keyboard but it's pretty difficult due to the constraints of the SDK. You have no way of capturing key events from other applications and there is no way to hook into key events. You can easily make an application that displays a virtual keyboard but it will only be used for your application only. It will not be able to integrate with the browser, messaging, or dialer apps.

I think I'll wait

Is it possible to have a full iPhone Homescreen? Is there a theme/app?

Any chance to realize this? Icons are available in the CSMI thread. But how to get the layout of the Homescreen (Taskbar, 4x4 + 4,..)?

Disable the sense and change the icons.
you might as well buy an iPhone. This is not meant to be negative or offensive, but why on earth would someone want this on his/her HD2?

I owned iPhones for 2 years (since 2007) but I like WM better. It's just the iPhone layout that is nice.

You prefer Windows Mobile to the iPhone but want the iPhone's layout? That's like saying you prefer a car to a bike then asking if your car can have two wheels.

You'll just loose then every advantage that mainly the HD2 and, to a lesser degree, WinMo has to offer. Take a look at this thread and see how this can help you customize your phone to your needs with full advantage of HD2 and WinMo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415
Especially when you use the 16 to 20 quicklinks tweak, you almost have what you want with an iPhone layout.

Rofl indeed nice one
and OP, you mean cab
my bad
a bit rushy
btw is there a danish language pack to swype?
Thats rolf worthy.
I <3 swype supeb input.
But ive found that when im hot and a bit sticky () I cant slide my finger over the screen right, and its really annoying.
also, it doesn't input text at first for me. even though the cursor is there. I type and nothing.
But when i open the menu is SMS, and close it... It works fine. WTF
Swype is great...but some version have issues and well it wasn't really designed for the HD2 in mind.
I've used it for a while and still love it although it could be better.
You might want to give shapewriter a try as well...similar to swype but faster and the letters are bigger for times you don't want to "swype"...i'm still trying it out and will compare it with Swype to see which is better...

Swype doesn't support dutch but SlideIT does.
I'm using SlideIT with a dutch language pack too and it works very well
It supports many languages.

Dialer Applications

Hey Everyone,
Just wondering what everyone is using as there Dialer??
The Stock one is quite sad considering that you have to click like a few times to call someone...
Is there a application out there that displays all your contacts and you just have to press once on the name to dial?? ( Not like MeContacts that only displays so many for speed dialing)
I was looking at Dialer one but can't seem to download it...seems discontinued or something...
Please give your preference and if you can, why you chose it.
Thank you all for your input.
Chad
check out superdial
There is 2 in the market place at the moment,
1 that is a paid version but says it's for chinese users but we can use it still and the 2nd one has bugs in it and isn't being continued?

me too looking for something like this , checked superdial, not so impressive though.
Check out Youlu. A number of Android sites have recommended it. I just installed it, and though it could use more options (such as disabling dial-sounds, and hiding of email-only contacts), it looks nice.
wow this is actually better than atakephone, i kinda regret paying for it now!
I always had hard time searching contacts to dial.
I used modified acontacts on my donuts. But im now using Dialer One.
It have call log, dialer. contacts at once. easy to use. and its Free
Try it

Going to try Youlu and Dialer one out right now and see which one I like better!
Another vote for Superdial. I've been using it for a few months now, can't live without it. It's definitely one of the best dialers out there.
My main concern is having quick and easy access to contacts without having to click through 17 menus to get to them. I simply start spelling the name of the contact and it appears, tap their name and it's calling. Takes a mere 2 seconds before I'm calling the person I want.

[Q]iOs5-ish Keyboard?

Good day guys,
Im looking for a keyboard resembling the thumb special one from the iPad iOS5.
I really like the concept and i have tried the app "tablet keyboard" yet it just not it.
Im looking for a thumb keyboard that is split on both sides of the device, yet has nothing in the middle thus preserving precious pixels.
Image of what i mean:

Try Thumb Keyboard. Best purchase I've made for my Transformer. Lots of customization and it's only 99 cents on Amazon's AppStore right now!

Did you not read his post or did you just choose to ignore the part where he says WITH NOTHING INBETWEEN.
I love the community! Everyone is so friendly and helpful!
I believe thumb keyboard dev will think about this layout with nothing in the middle.
Im not completely sure, but I dont think that the Android IME framework supports layouts like that (With the application underneath). I think the IME gets a certain area of the screen, and will just have blank spaces in open areas.

Hopefully Apple doesn't have a patent on that... they seem to patent the most basic things. Meh. Would be a great layout though.
Typical. Everytime I see a "new Apple feature" that Android already has, I can't suppress a smile. Then I see Apple's version and dammit, they manage to put a new slant on it that wipes the smile away!

Asus makes a actual keyboard for the transformer it extends the battery life too and there is nothing in the middle of the screen.
The new swype beta has a sliding keyboard that takes up about a fifth of precious screen realestate. I have a post with pics in here somewhere. Not what you specifically asked for, but it is free when you sign up for the beta.

yes, i am well aware of that. but none of it can be attached to galaxy s and become a slider keyboard. if you find any, i would very appreciate it if you post the links here. thanks
Good idea to start this thread. Just sent in a request to boxwave with a url to this forum, hopefully they will notice the level of interest here!
why do u need bluetooth keyboard while u can type faster with SWYPE or SLIDEIT keyboard?
last time i used to aim for only qwerty keyboard smartphone,
but after i got myself capacitive screens smartphone, i think it is not necessary for a qwerty keyboard, it is even slower

i personally do like soft keyboard, but not swype. when the screen gets smudged, swype will make it more messy.
my favourite is gingerbread keyboard, but even that gives me errors. a hard keyboard, to me, although require more practice, but will get the job done once you get used to it. i've tried and liked it.
another thing is, playing games using a hard keyboard is so much easier.
Holy crap, it looks amazing! But phone will look like a fat brick... hmmm request sendet afterall
request Done
REquest send also!
Requested!!
