I'm not sure if this has been discussed or solved before... Anyway, I've tried searching and I couldn't find any guide on how to remove the arrows on our keyboard.
If you have done so, kindly post the guide on how to do this...
thanks in advance...
i like the arrows(incase of mistakes or wanting to add something somwhere) but if it would free up some space to have bigger keys that wouldnt be to bad
I would actually like this as well if somehow the keys were to get larger or more spaced out.
me too..
i hate the htc sens / keyboard even with sens.cab...
i have tried every other keyboard beside of swype - no german.cab... -
and all are even worse than the htc keyboard.

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

Find a cab in sense tweak thread, as I remember. There is a cab for currency keyboard or so called, then u can have option to choose that £ symbol when holding $
Sorry for asking in this thread, but is it possible to get a swedish layout on the htc keyboard? always have to long-press a for å and ä, and long-press o for ö... quite anoying. and i really dont want to replace the standard keyboard on my new hd2.
thanks in advance.

should be possible and not that complicated,
for info on what and how check this thread, some additional info can be also found in threads on lithuanian and bulgarians keyboards
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..
Hi does any one know of a dvorak keyboard layout for our evos? I have a sneaking suspicion that we would see some nice speed gains in typing using that layout.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I think this would be interesting to have. I tried teaching myself Dvorak last semester, but I had too many things to type up so I was faced with 1) stick with QWERTY and ruin my learning, or 2) use Dvorak and slow my typing down to 15 WPM. Maybe I will give it another shot in the future.
Edit: AnySoftKeyboard in the Market has a Dvorak add-on pack.
I've tried the any keyboard and didn't like it. If we could get that layout for the stock or modded htc keyboard that would be sweet.
I would mod it myself but I have no knowledge of these things and from all the digging haven't been able to figure out where to start.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have been doing some digging myself, because I really want this to happen, and it looks like in order to make a dvorak keyboard layout, we would have to start with the source code found here, and build our own.
h**p://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME.git
The layout information can be found in the java/res/xml/kbd_qwerty.xml file, seen here:
h**p://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME.git;a=blob;f=java/res/xml/kbd_qwerty.xml
However, the big problem with just changing all those keys to dvorak ones is that the symbol keys on dvorak are on the top, but on the bottom on qwerty. So if you count just the actual letters, the letters per row will be off.
Basically, what we need to do is move the delete key to the upper right, and rearrange the number of keys per row.
I've never done any coding for Android before, and so I've tried, but I'm still trying to figure out if I can build only the LatinIME.
I finally found some time to take this on.
It's not perfect, but maybe it will work for you.

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)

Im using chacha as its prbly the only android with keyboard like a bb! Anyway- Ive rooted, deleted apps and made it workable at least for now- However one thing Ive been unable to do is generate typing sounds on the physical keyboard. All the androids have an option of sound for their onscreen keyboards so is there any way to do this for the Chacha keyboard? The physical one- not by adding a virtual one.
Thanks.
