Hi,
Just got my HTC HD 2. And i taken liking in original HTC HD 2 keyboard. Mainly because of inbuild vibration feedback. But there is that one annoying thing. And thats emoticons. I would love to write "=*" or "=)" faster. Now i have to go to characters, get to the second screen for "=" and return for "*". So, is there a way to configure keyboard layout to have this emoticon typed when i hold choosen key?
Ofc i could get another keyboard thats supports easy remaping with touchresponse enabler and set it to vibrate only at keyboard and set my new keyboard as default with another program. But thats not so effective.
TL;DR: Any idea where to edit default keyboard layout?
Edit: Now that i think about it, is there a setting to make first letter in a sentence Capitalized?
Is there no way? Then someone know keyboard which looks like original an is editable? Thanks in advance
I have no idea if you can edit the keyboard, but you should check out FingerKeyboard (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487677) its good looking, really accurate and has most of the standard emoticons on the regular layout.
Hi!
This keyboad can not to set disable T9 also!
Well I dont use T9 so I dont mind. And yes, Fingerkeyboard is nice one i tryed it already. But still couldnt edit to my favorite smileys. If I recall correctly, there was FingerKeyboard with indepth settings, but this 2.1 only has basic stuff. Gonna look at it again.
Still its kinda lame to have to use 3 programs to have default keyboard with emoticons xD
In my opinion, FKB is the worst replacement keyboard. The default keyboard would be perfect, if someone managed to remove the arrows so that you could have a bit bigger keys, and a row for numbers.
I applaud the dev for his time and blood, though.
Again, this is MY opinion. Agree or disagree, I don't really give a damn. That would be YOUR opinion.

I'm not sure about the FKB with HD2, as I will be only getting the HD2 next week! But with my experience of FKB with Touch HD, I completely disagree with you. FKB is the best ever keyboard app to me, it is a must for me for many reasons.
And to the poster, I'm really glad of you posting up a thread with a proper title with [REQ] suggesting what your post is about! If everyone follows this basic rule, how much better and enjoyable browsing the forum for all of us!
Well I am now testing REAL 2.1 version (I downloaded bad link and got 2.0 =/ that was silly of me) Now if i get nice theme which looks like standart then its all nice (Vibration seems to be implemented which is great).
And I totaly agree with precsmo. If people really did follow rules, it would be totaly awesome for others. And posting [REQ] before request was obvious after reading this forum for about 30s. Dunno why others dont do it this way, its better for everybody.
I played with FKB a bit and found out it to be sorta buggy with HTC HD 2 and not so good as default keyboard is =/ what a shame that HTC doesnt care about smileys =/

I disagree. Finger Keyboard is good and arrows in the default keyboard are great .
Swype
Have you tried "Swype"? It's an awesome keyboard..... try it - it should speed up your typing a lot
can anyone tell me how to swap the "£" for the "$" on the keyboard. $ is on the keyboard @ the moment but I have to search for the £ key.
thanks

So I found this out by accident and wanted to share. I don't know whether this was a feature on 2.1 as I've always used HTC_IME but here goes.
On the main keyboard drag your thumb up from the letters to above the preview bar and a whole row of letters and punctuation appears under your thumb. You don't have to hit the ?123 button anymore as a quick swipe up above the keyboard accomplishes the same thing.
This by no means gives me enough reason to move away from the HTC_IME but it's kinda neat.
I heart Froyo.

You can do that on HTC_IME also. I'm in CM 5.0.7 test3 and works perfectly.
How? Where in HTC_IME can you get two additional rows?
HTC IME already lets you long press letters to get additional keys, I consider this far better because I can see them already and just have to press for a short while (customizable length in the HTC IME mod)
Awesome! Didn't know about that. Thanks

Oh nice. Never tried that before so I wouldn't know if it's new to froyo or not.
However, I used to closed the keyboard by swiping down, and I find it extremely difficult to do in FroYo, I don't know what's wrong :-/

I'm not saying HTC_IME is worse. In fact I very much like it. The only feature of stock keyboard I like is the way you change languages if you have selected multiple dictionaries.
That's awesome ! FroYo really made Touch Input usable for me.
Thanks a lot for the tip.
Also did you all notice the tab key when inputting fields. Saves a lot of time.
it's a neat feature, but i don't think it's any faster than long pressing a key. overall i still think google should make HTC_IME standard
Also on smart and better kb
Cool, thanks. I had never noticed that. Kind of like all the cool features there are on Swype that I just found accidentally.
I'm really happy with this latest version of the stock Android keyboard - it has multitouch! I was wondering why typing was suddenly way more accurate. The punctuation input is also a clever idea.

What? Where did you get that keyboard from?
Cool, I didn't know this.
I also like in Froyo (wasn't there before), after you hit the space bar after a word, punctuation shows up where the suggested words would be.
The stock keyboard has had multitouch since 2.1, it's not true multitouch like the iPhone but you can press two keys and it'll pick them both up. It's only when they're close together that it might mess up because it could think you're sliding but that's just the crappy touch screen. I really wish HTC didn't cheap out with the touch screen..
In continuing The Droid Demos round-up of Android keyboards, today I bring you Smart Keyboard Pro. After posting about SwiftKey, I received a suggestion from a reader to try out Smart Keyboard Pro and I have to say, its one of the best Android keyboards I've used. While not so much focused on text prediction, Smart Keyboard Pro has GREAT spell correction. You'll have to go for the Pro version(paid) to get the full options, but its definitely worth it. With common mistakes correction, spell correction, prediction, and user learning(it tries to learn how you type), Smart Keyboard Pro is certainly a welcome replacement for the stock Android keyboard.
Smart Keyboard Pro Video Demo
+1 on this. I've used SKBP for a while and I have yet to find a new keyboard that I like better. Plus it has multitouch
Everything looked great about the keyboard and settings until you tried to demo its usage.. haha. Anyway, I might give this a try to see if it's as good as the Sense keyboard in speed and spelling correction/text prediction. The extra settings such as long-press time should be very useful.

Wow haha completely forgot to cut that out I'll edit that. I was sitting really awkwardly and I have that problem with every keyboard haha
Keyboard looks good. I enjoyed swiftkey but the skin was HORRIBLE. These are much better, I am enjoying the android stock look and the multitouch. Also the ability to edit the amount of time for a long press is really great. Wish I could ditch the microphone key for a comma. I also kind of miss the stock way to get to the numbers, sliding above the keyboard... I will live with this for a while and see
I'm using Smart Keyboard Pro and find it to be the best.
One key feature for me is the gestures:
I have one set to voice search, one to arrows, one to delete last word, and the other to edit dictionary.

You can! It's in the SkbPro settings. Scroll to the Voice input section and uncheck Mic Button and it will change to a comma.

Now after almost a year that I have SlideIT and Swype on my Galaxy,
I decided to give up Swype since I almost never use it anymore.
I found that SlideIT has so many more feature comparing to swype, and all the time it's being update.
Its dictionary is better, it’s word prediction is better and it’s way of choosing alternate words is better. Instead of forcing you to choose from a popup menu, it makes its best guess then gives you an unobtrusive menu of alternate words to choose from in case it got it wrong.
I just want to hear what do you think ?
please answer only if you tried them both for a while
SlideIT site
Swype site
also forgot to mention ShapeWriter which is the third keyboard using this sliding input method, and two months ago was removed from the Market.
from my experience, I found it to be very inaccurate and not at the same level as SlideIT and Swype.
ShapeWriter site
SlideIT of course...
Because it has Multilingual support
swype (at least the version i have *cough*) does multilanguage too

i still like Swype but i find myself using Swiftkey more than ever.
Swype is looking better, and working better. When they launch with fully support, you should count on that it gets updates all the time to.
Has everyone forgotten about ShapeWriter? Its off the market now, but I think its way better than both ...

Swype doesn't force you to use the popup menu. YOu can just continue typing and it will select the top word in the pop up menu.
Haven't used SlideIT, I'm kind of put off at the ~$10 price, when swipe was included in my phone.
never cared got shapewriter, too slow and not as accurate. Slideit is s the most accurate and better than swype I think, but the lack of long press for numbers and punctuation kills it. If it had that, I would ditch swype in a sec.

In the app list, it's boring to use swype to search the good app with only the "first" letters.
I prefer slide it for this.

Not necessarily.
With Swype if the word is not in the dictionary all you need to do is tap it out and the next time you swype those same letters the word is automatically formed for you.
I have several email addresses done this way and no need to change from lower to upper as Swype will do it for you.
Lemme see .... $5.99 or free? ... free or $5.99?

What if you tap this word by mistake, will Swype still learn this new word ?
With SlideIT you must press + to add the word to the dictionary. and if the dictionary offer you a word that you never use you can just press - to remove this word from the dictionary.
i use SlideIT n i love it i had it for a while on my tilt 2 so i was prety much use to it wen i got my Aria but i still tried Swype but to me SlideIT juss feels better n yea SlideIT is 5.99 n d market but o well bought it n lovin every minute of it lol

From the Swype site....
"If it had been a user-added word, all you would have to do is highlight the word and press the Swype key. You'd then see a notification that the word was removed from the UDB. Happy Swyping,.."

It's close, but Swype gets my vote although Smart Keyboard Pro is my main keyboard. It's more accurate for me than SlideIT keyboard.

When you say "matter of personal taste" you mean the first keyboard you get use too? the way it work ? the way it look ? or the the special features it offer ?

It's a combination of which keyboard you prefer over the other......
My personal taste is to use Swype ~ it is free, easy to use (layout/saving of new words etc) and endorsed by Samsung with the Galaxy S.
So yeah, I spend the whole day searching for a better phonepad keyboard. But everything that pops out is for qwerty. Texting is a major communication tool in our country and yeah, english is not the norm so I can't use Swype even though I'm dying too use it. So a better phonepad keyboard is the solution.
I wanna change it since the Optimus 1 keyboard is too cramped for me, I'm looking for one with bigger keys.
Thanks in advance!!
What exactly are you looking for? A number pad style keyboard? Blackberry style keyboard (2 letters per key)? Or just a better QWERTY?
I'm not sure but I think the HTC_IME keyboard allows various styles to choose from (all of the above 3 I mentioned). There is also Swype which eliminates the need for large keys (because you don't press the keys, you use motion gestures).
Me, I personally love the stock Android keyboard. It seems pretty good at knowing what I'm pounding out.
A number pad keyboard. The ones that you see from older phones
Search for the IME mod keyboard. It's got a phone keypad style keyboard.

Oh no. Wait, I had a bit of a problem.
I don't know what is the setting called but I'm pretty sure it's present in tis app.
When I use the phonepad keyboard, for example I press "2" so the 1st letter that will come out is "A" I noticed that the time that "A" is highlighted is quite long compared to the native android keyboard, thus slowing my typing down. It does not only affect the phonepad keyboard but also the compact qwerty. How do I edit this setting? Thanks!!
Please I really need help!
Sorry, you cannot edit that setting.
Try instead Better keyboard. It also has a keypad-like one.
Is there a fast way to capitalize an already-typed word without re-typing? (In Swype, you can select the word and press shift to get the choice of [word, Word, or WORD]).
Also, is there a fast way to do question mark or exclamation mark? (In Swype, you can Swype from each of those keys to the space bar to swype them quickly, rather than long hold etc)
I'm loving Flex T9 way better than Swype, especially the suggestions bar. It's just these small issues that I miss from Swype so I was wondering if there was a way to do them.
..don´t know a solution for "these small issues", but hopefully they will come, flext9 is still very young (my default keyboard btw)
