Hi everyone,
I'd just a lil' question for you !
I've a friend on htc desire who has a small arrow just below the text that he can move to put the text cursor where does he want. The fact is he had a cyanogen rom on it so maybe it comes from here but i dunno and neither does he.
I've found on google that it could comes from the htc keyboard but nothing really concluding.
So I just would like to know if you have heard something about an app or something which could give me this arrow.
ps: i'm definitly not looking for arrows on keyboard but something like a bigger cursor than the common one that I don't consider precise enough
I think your friend is using some copy and paste app.

Howdy all,
Im a larger guy and I was wondering what the consensus was on the best alternate keyboard for someone with big hands? I find the stock kb on the x10 always has me hitting other buttons because they are so skinny.

I say this to anyone who has a hard time using the generic keyboard. Use Swype. As long as your finger motions are correct and intentional, you will spell the correct word. It becomes easier for larger words since it autocorrects.Try swype, it is actually faster that using a qwerty keyboard once you get use to it.
a desktop keyboard? r u like gozzila? my fingers are HUGE and the modded HTC keyboard is more than perfect for me

Look for ThickButtons keyboard on the market. It predicts the next letters you could type and enlarges them. It could work for you.

You could just use whatever keyboard and turn the X10 sideways so you get the wider keyboard.

I would be grateful for that application as well. This new keyboard is not bad, but its not as as good as the old one on which I'm used to. So please, if some of you have it, upload it for us.
Thanks

If you only use the arrow buttons to move the cursor there is now a better way. Just tap the text, it will then appear on the "suggestion's bar". Now slide the bar left or right to move the cursor.

Isn't it the Android keyboard? Just long press your text box to get into input method and switch to Android keyboard. Looks the same to me!

How do I install Swype on G2X?
Is the only thing I really miss from Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Wrong swction, general would be a better section.. google swype website and it gives you instructions there, nothing g2x specific....... did you try looking before posting this?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Swype is pre-installed on the G2x, just hold down in the area you want to type untill a box comes up that gives you options, one of the options is to change input method. select that, then select swype. Please, read your owners manual
Yup it is....

I don't know what it is, I just saw it in the box. I'm a married man, you think I have time to read a user guide, it was more of a joke. But I'm glad you found your swype.

After installing a custom ROM my swype has been lost.
Anyone know how to add the swype keyboard back to custom ROMS?
Join the Swype beta.

Hahahah I'm sorry but you guys are funny Hahahah
Joining the swype beta is a good idea even if you're using a ROM with swype built in; beta is newer and is a lot better.
Also, in the market there is a keyboard called T-Swipe Pro. It is a great swipe type keyboard and can do swipe in Thai and Japanese if you want also. It works great for English also. You can try it for free from the Android Market.
I have swype pre installed on my phone. I was wondering how you update it on the G2X. I join and did everything it said but thought i read somewhere you can updated it if its been per installed. do anyone know if this is true or what?
I have searched around and not sure if its just on gingerbread software or not. I use smart keyboard pro and on CM7 or any gingerbread based rom, their is a small green arrow under the txt for placement. That is super handy and i miss it on froyo ROM's. Anybody have any idea of how to get that? Do i need to flash a GB keyboard? Not sure since I noticed it worked on smart keyboard, so i figured it might be an integrated feature, so it may not be just teh GB keyboard.
But that helps me a ton! So I thought I would ask after finding nothing on the forums.

Is it possible for anyone to create a landscape keyboard for the touch screen ?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
I believe some of the custom ROMs already have one, at the very least. Poke through the dev forum and see if you can find what you're looking for.
There is no current ROM that has this, it is yet to be seen if this is possible, as it wasn't built in by Samsung. They thought that there was no good way to have a landscape screen keyboard on our phones. So it would take a large amount of integration and work. Anything's possible, but as of now, it doesn't exist and is very far away if anyone is working on it.
last time I tried gokeyboard it worked in landscape. but it kept trying to translate my english into chinese so I uninstalled... but try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gokeyboard&hl=en
not working for me , im gonna pm you to see if i can try to get it working
well, it used to work. you can see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15247397#post15247397 I was using it around the first of july. I tried it again today and I could not get it into landscape mode.
So, it USED to work, but apparently no longer does. Darn GO dev team for their frequent updates. (I think all go apps are some of the best btw, great/frequent updates)

Word, works and looks great thanks for posting. IF anyone is wondering, i used astro to install, then went to my settings, locale and text then deactivated my stock keyboard, and activated the new one.
Does the Galaxy S have the swype or regular virtual keyboard with landscape mode? If so, couldn't it work on the sidekick? If anyone would email me those keyboard apks, I'd be a guinea pig for that.
I still don't know how to do it I'm on the xda free app but ayoteddy posted it so great way on staying on top of things I habe the same one I believe
