You mean to "sense" if its open or closed? -- been looking for that FOREVER and have found nothing. The only thing you can really "sense" is if there is a Hardware keyboard present in the device by using the Native GetKeyboardStatus() function OR by checking the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Shell\\HasKeyboard"
Found it. What is there to it?

Nothing much... If the device has a Hardware keyboard that value will be "1" otherwise it'll be "0"... The GetKeyboardStatus() function can tell you a little more about the Hardware keyboard. Click this link for documentation on that function

I was thinking if someone could make a small app so we could use the ledlight as a flashlight. Like the bluetooth switch.
In this way we could apoint a button on the quickmenu and we have a flashlight at hand.
I could not find anything like this and I believe it could be usefull.
Any ideas?
P.S.: I do not have the skill to program this...

That's a really good idea. A better idea would be to search the forum and find the one that already exists!

Hey guys finally someone has gotten smart enough to make the first multi touch keyboard. It's called Smart Keyboard in the market and its free. It's still in beta and is very buggy and ugly. They keyboard is going in the right direction, maybe someone can build on it and perfect it? Thanks.
Care to share some pictures??

You can see the screenshots in the market. And it doesn't look THAT bad. Basically a white version of the stock keyboard.
Multi-touch seems to help my typing a lot. Even without the auto-correction (which is supposedly going to be added in the Pro version later on), I can type almost perfectly, compared to the many mistakes I make with the stock keyboard.

I agree its definitely a step better than the stock keyboard. One problem is that it doesn't show the letter when you hit it, it's just blank. Cant wait for a pro version or for someone to make a more improved app.
very nice keyboard indeed. the vibrate option doesnt work on my n1. its also missing the voice input but istill like it because it implements multitouch correctly unlike the stupid stock kboard
So I just downloaded app and selected it from language & keyboard settings but I still end up with the stock KB. Any ideas on how to switch it?

Hold down on a text box and it should say "Input method". Click that and should display the keyboards you have installed/enabled.

Alright fixed the problem thx!
Still needs quite a bit of work. All in all, it sort of reminded me..why exactly do we need a multi-touch keyboard now? Sure ive used the iphone keyboard....but it doesnt make a world of difference if the OS isnt built around the function.
fantastic find. using it to write this response and this is an amazing fix for me. not sure if it is the multitouch or not, but either way i like it
pretty good missing some features but i feel a bit more accurate with it.
Not bad! This has a lot of potential...
ill run it again once the bugs/fixes are worked out

vibrate works fine - just very faint.. it's a light pulse rather than a strong/long vibrate.

You can tell its multi touch if say you hold down the A key and then press the J key it will type the A then the J right after it.
Wish they could add holding Q for number 1 etc like the HTC one!
Only thing I really want.

renamed it to apk for everyone.
Screenies for ya
Where did this come from? Interesting....
From the DroidX
How is it compared to Smart Keyboard Pro or Better Keyboard?
my two requests for it are for someone to fig out how it to use the stock dictionary and get vibrate to work! then this would be best keyboard ever.
What is the major benefit to a multi-touch keyboard? Can it actually keep up with my crazy quick typing now?
Would be perfect with working haptic feedback.
yup that is all it needs.
personally, i don't like the haptic feedback....multi touch will be awesome however
It already is multi touch.

some of the option text and ampersand seems to be in html encoded form. After you write and highlite a previous word sometimes it shows suggestions. That's my thoughts for the time being, any other apks op?

i know this..i'm saying it will be awesome once installed !
I have to be rooted to install this, correct?
ugh, it still does the smart keyboard pro thing where it won't register the first letter if you release it at the same time as the next key is pressed.. anybody else know what i mean?
Agree with the dictionary suggestion.. not crazy about the size of the letters or the combo. /, button next to the space bar. I'll try it out for a bit and see how it goes. Seems pretty good otherwise and multitouch works as it should. Thanks op for posting this.

Excuse me, another question; if it's possible to know the name of the button of the numeric keyboard when we enter the pin. I thought was semc_button_pressed.9.png but I was wrong
Thank you

You have to take the .apk from your keyboard
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Hi im new to the site and I was wondering if anyone could help, I've searched for an app that allows me to use my screento take a picture as my button is broke. When I press it the lines on the camera screen go green a d it bleeps but doesn't take the picture so I can only assume the buttons had it. If anyone could help me on this matter I'd really appreciate it!
I don't know of an app but Mango has this feature now.
