I've used android-vnc-viewer for a while but I hate that it's landscape-only. Can anyone suggest a VNC viewer, free or cheap, that works well in portrait? This was not so bad on my Milestone with a hard keyboard, but on my N1 it's awful to have to use the landscape keyboard which hides the screen contents while I type. The VNC app I use on my iPod Touch lets me view half the screen and type with the other half when I use it in portrait.
Any thoughts?
Search Wyse on market ..
The paid version costs 14.99$ but there is a free version too.. Dont know what's the limitaions of it.. Just check it out if its of any use to use..
it doesn't cover the full screen when i type in vnc
how do you enter your text? i long press the menu button to get the keyboard up
I also have to use the menu button to bring up the keyboard..

Basically, I am looking for a QWERTY soft keyboard with larger keys than the built in one in Portrait mode.
I apologise if there really is a well known solution to my aggravation. It must have trekked over the horizon, cos I spent atleast 6 hours last night trying to find it.
So, I find the most convenient way to type is with thumb or fingers, and I can do this on the built-in keyboard, with a moderate accuracy. It's still more convenient than getting out the stylus.
I have demod perhaps 15 different SIP Keyboards now and NONE of them have a larger keyboard in Portrait mode than the built-in keyboard.... WHY? They either have large keys and a stupid gimmick or small keys and a standard QWERTY. Could the calligrapher keyboard be any smaller?
Here is my ideal SIP Keyboard: a qwerty keyboard with just the letters (and . , ?) on screen, but taking upto half of the screen. The numbers can be hidden under a shift or alt key.
Does this exist? All the large key keyboards I have found take up the whole screen, which I find very irritating in itself.
We've all the seen the iphone and its keyboard right? Is there not a single program with good size keys for ppc? I found one that is ABCD etc. not qwerty and the guy wanted to charge over 100 dollars on handango.
Please Please Please. Help me and suggest a solution. Thank you.
PS. I have found ideal software for the Palm OS, is there a version for PPC? Look here:

I just found a good one for all those interested.
Its called Happy Tapping Keyboard. It resides on some obscure korean site i think. Do a google search and use the translate option. It works enough to understand.
So far it is hands down the best keyboard available. Its larger than the built in one and even larger in landscape, but most importantly it only takes up a little bit of the screen, so you can still see stuff.
I highly recommend. And it is free and skinnable. You can also add a WAV sound to the tap, an audio aide so you know when you have hit it. That is if you dont want to enable all screen tap sounds in WM5.
some details
Thanks for this HTK program,
this is the link for download :
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/KOTETU/00000103
once it is downloaded, you need to move the cab file directly to your device (don't run it from your computer).
and this is the one for some skins :
http://blogs.shintak.info/articles/979.aspx
put them in the picture folder or a folder that you will easily find on your device.
choose the right VGA/QVGA mode
to change the skin :
go to setting then choose the keyboard icon and find the skin you put in your folder.
et voila !
rq : would be nice if the button could be bigger !
and it is obsure japanese not korean,
cheers
I can't seem to find "\" char... anyone enlighten me pls
Why do you want to translate a Korean site when you can just get it next door.. yes, next door here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296455&highlight=
Which of these keyboards have the biggest keys when using the phone in portrait mode; the android keyboard, the ime mod keyboard or better keyboard? I am looking for one that makes it less likely for those of us with fat fingers to fat finger what we are typing.
Um, i'd have to say Smart Keyboard Pro with the HTC Skin has the biggests keys. And it's not as big of a file as the HTC IME mod so there isn't that much lag when using it
come keyboards i have used
There is a keyboard called thick buttons which resizes the keys as you type making the keys that are most likely the next letter in the word larger and the rest smaller, you can also set the resize rate (small,medium, large)
SwiftKey is a pretty cool keyboard that scans your chat history to try to predict what word you will type next. They keys are pretty much the same size as the htc keyboard though. feature updates to the app will be able to scan sms, twitter, email and then create different recommendations based on the app you are typing in i.e. sms, email, or twitter.
Right now my fav keyboard app is touchpal. Don't be afraid that a lot of the text about the app is in chinese in particular parts of the tutorial they board can be set to english and all your txt recommendations will be in english. This keyboard has three layouts (my fav is the compact keyboard which gives you two letters per key but with txt prediction enabled typing is not a problem. they keys in this layout are pretty big to making it hard to miss the one you want) What is really cool about this keyboard is the ability to swipe either side ways to change keyboard layouts or down to access the secondary key (e.g. swiping down on say e will give you a 3) or in full quwerty keyboard swiping up gives you the capital letter of the letter.
Another keyboard you might want to put on your radar is blindtype. It is not out yet but it looks really awesome. It functions similar to swype but instead of swiping your finger across the keys you type normally. Look it up and you can see videos of it being demoed. It is not aval right now though but it looks like the keyboard to have for us with big fingers lol
blindtype DOES look amazing!
cant wait for it.
umm, it does not show up in my market. wth
you might want to check out ultra keyboard it allows you to re-size the keyboard making it bigger or smaller and it also has incorporated swype style typing and it also allows you to use better keyboard themes it's a paid app but in my opinion well worth it
been using big buttons keyboard for months. since i only type one handed in portrait this works perfect. it's laid out different but within a minute of typing im a pro.

No offense if you looking for blindtype they said in the post its not in the market. Don't feel bad I didn't completely read it the first time

So I was wondering what is the best shell access app out there, connect bot seems to be pretty nice but it seems to work a bit weird with the keyboard dock (tab is actualy shift, control keys don't work etc.) is there a better alternative?
And by better I mean something that works well with the keyboard dock. Having to work with a lot of unix servers it's really annoying to get used to new key bindings.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I don't know about a better one, but Hacker's Keyboard (install via market) is designed with connectbot in mind.
isn't that just another software (touchscreen) keyboard?
i need something to work with the keyboard dock
android terminal, or connectbot
and hacker keyboard
try switching out of the default asus keyboard. connectbot was weird for me too, but then i switched my softkeyboard to thumbkeyboard and weirdly enough, the hardware keyboard works normally now.
I don't need a signature.

It's quite weird but that seems to work lol...
BTW many thanks, this will make my life (or rather work) much easier
I wasn't able to get it working with ThumbKeyboard (my favorite for non-dock keyboard use), but after looking into various tablet optimized variants, I found out someone modified ConnectBot for the Transformer already:
https://github.com/lorantkurthy/connectbot
https://github.com/downloads/lorantkurthy/connectbot/ConnectBot.apk
Everything works for me with this except alt and escape, but search sends escape, so hurrah. (You have to go into options and turn on Transformer keyboard.) It's even tablet-optimized.
I'm using Irsii. It's a kind of connectbot fork.
Tab works directly on keyboard, I just find that the onscreen control button could be bigger...
I use Better Terminal Emulator Pro https://market.android.com/details?id=com.magicandroidapps.bettertermpro&feature=search_result
It's the best I've found so far and includes the bash shell with working tab complete, esc chars etc. Also includes a fully working ssh client.
Hi,

hi,
I just have bought a Gametel Gamepad bluetooth for my HTC HD2 but i want to use it on windows mobile. Gamepad is reconize on bluetooth but i can't configure it. :crying:
Someone know if there's a driver for this pad or a compatibility driver.
Thnks
i have accomplished to pair the controller with windows mobile and it reconize juste like a bluetooth keyboard but now what sould i do ?
Use it : most old games used the arrows and Enter key. :laugh:
I suppose you'll have to select your emulated keyboard as the default one.
Just open any app using a keyboard (such as Notes), then press the right border on the keyboard icon to select another default keyboard.
If you do can't find it in the list, then long press the left border on the keyboard icon, in case it would appear there instead.

Uh, no, my man... it doesn't quite work that way. The Gametel adapter is mapped to the same keys as the Sony Ericsson Play device. Simply because it is in 'keyboard mode' do not assume that it will play games in the way you have described -- it will not. I still do not know of a practical use for the Gametel adapter on a Windows Phone (other than to make a Lumia look purposeful)... and Fructel will tell you the same thing. Games generally have to be made compatible for the Gametel / Sony Play mapping.
Windows Phone ? This is a Windows Mobile section...
Windows Phone 7 and above are completely different stuff and I can't help you there...
I try to find a virtual keyboard to play Aion on my PC all the remote Mouse/Keyboard app I find use pre made keyboard and I can't personalize them. The only one I find is Air HID but it's hard for me to create a good looking keyboard with symmetrical touch button. Is there another one with more easy keyboard creation?
Thanks for your help,
DracoMoye
I just made a crude keyboard in Air HID but I can't use multiple button at the same time so I can move forward and turn at the same time. I'm back to find a remote keyboard/mouse app?
I fast draw of the interface I wish to have
http://postimg.org/image/6f5tcsgff/
Game pad that use wasd, touch mouse and button, mouse 2 toggle hold unhold, all the competence slot and configurable button for menu and other shortcut.
That can be use with all the other mmorpg that use similar interface.
