anyone else try it out yet?
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/06/24/download-multi-touch-keyboard-from-droid-x/
it seems to work good other than vibrate dont work.. but maybe one of you fine people that know what you are doing can fix that
bumping this. Has anyone gotten it working it on 2.2 droid yet? Or any froyo for that matter
Works great thanks!
Im using it right now... its great exept for the red flash when you press a key
within the symbols screen the "&" key looks messed up in portrait. anyone else get the text spilling over neighboring keys?
Yes, I get that as well. Couldn't say why, but it's not a "deal-breaker" for me, I'm still going to continue to play with this very cool k-board.
Man! This is almost a win. It doesnt vibrate on keypress. For some reason, my thumbs need that tactile sensation. Hopefully someone can fix this.

i'd love to get a fix for this. as well as the tactile feedback when typing.
can someone try one of these out and see if it works for your devices? If not, I will fix the & key for the Incredible
EDIT: forgot link

There was a version of this that had the haptic feedback enabled. Doesn't work with froyo as far as I can tell. I can't find the link, but it should be floating around on the forums somewhere.

Yeah I know that one doesn't I made them. I should have said that, sorry. I am just curious to see if that will work on your devices, because my friend is getting one. Those have haptic feed back, fixed & key, and are skinned

I can confirm that the Bblue.apk does work. I haven't tried the others, but I'm assuming they will work as well. Thanks a lot for these. I really like the black with blue highlight one a lot.

No problem glade you like it. I would make a post here for them, but no point to double post. Just subscribe to that thread. I will add more when I have more ideas for it. Also anything you might want, I will make just ask in that thread
Great Keyboard. No problems with key formatting on my Droid Inc.
Takes up a lot of space in landscape mode. I'll use it for a while to see how it works, but on first inspection, it looks just as useable as the HTC IME.

Love the keyboards. Any chance you could make a fix for the & key on the one available in this thread?
I think that I posted in this thread when this k-board just came out. I've been using it non-stop ever since and have no inkling of returning to the original.
I've been using the keyboard for a few weeks and while I like the size of the keys and the overall function of the keyboard I'm going to be moving away from it. I've gotten pretty fast on the soft keyboards and I noticed I began making way more typos with this keyboard than the stock keyboard or a couple others I have tried. The problem seems to be that in my haste I am pressing and releasing keys almost at the same moment and this keyboard doesn't like that. It will either only pick up one key, or in my case usually just ignore both and pick up the third key. I noticed a comment about my issue in the Droid X multi touch keyboard post in the dev forum.
It seems this is by design but it is a deal breaker for me since I ended spending more time having to go back and correct all my messages so they made sense. If this can be corrected, I would immediately switch back. Hope this helps someone else because it was driving me crazy.
Seriously, I have loved my x10 right up until a few hours ago...
I don't care about multi touch or 2.2 or froyo, or whatever...
But somehow in my pocket, my phone has selected the stupid fu#$ing Chinese Keyboard... and there's no possible way to disable it... I can't get swype back, now I've just got this crap Chinese Keyboard...
SONY YOU SUCK
Has anyone else had the same issue, and knows of a solution (apart from rooting the device)
SONY YOU SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK
Yes I had the same problem, I picked the Chinese keyboard. Hold long on the input, choose input data method, then choose your desired keyboard...

#1 / Open up any app that displays the on screen keyboard
#2 / Look to the very bottom left hand corner there is an icon of a globe and a number "12"
#3 / Press and hold down the key a submenu will be displayed. We shall call it the "Keyboard input settings menu"
The menu options are as follows: ----"Standard Keyboard", "Change Settings", and "Input Method" .
#4 / Select "INPUT METHOD" then select "STANDARD KEYBOARD" then exit
Probably this was also the way it got enabled in the first place.
However, its not SEs error to be honest I'm sure this way is mentioned in the user guide.
If you have rooted your X10, you can move SEMCTouchPalChinese.apk out of /system/app.
I was sick of the millions of various input methods available on my X10 (default, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Android Keyboard) and removed the standard keyboard (which also removes Japanese), Korean and Chinese. After installing the HTC keyboard from XDA, I only have 3 left. Very clean looking.
You're right (sort of)
All other keyboards have this option, but not the stupid Chinese one...
Gawd, I'm mad...!!!
Thanks for trying though
Just long press on any text input box. That will give you the option to select the keyboard of your choice.
Also think you can switch keyboards off in the settings, locale menu.

It's not about understanding languages but giving 30MB ram for something not being used.
On most laptops the touch pad is turned off while tying. This is great for fat finger people like me who constantly hit the touch pad while typing and end up all over the page. Would love to see this option added.

There's a button on the top row of the dock to disable the touchpad. Just push it before you start typing.
You're touching the touchpad when you type due to improper posture. The proper posture is to elevate your palm to the same level as the rest of your hand, this gives you the fastest response and decreases ergonomic issues (it gets more tiring but you'll get used to it)
And also, my hp doesn't turn off the trackpad while typing. Just fyi =P
Yeah, supposed to elevate your palm. ^^^
i've never ever seen a laptop that automatically shut off the trackpad when typing.
but yeah, just press the button. it takes a second.
Speaking as a piano player, I see bad posture all the time with both musical and electronic keyboards. The thing that ticks me off sometimes is that these people blame the hardware instead of their bad posture. It's like holding a phone upside down and then complain that the phone was built upside down so they couldn't hear what the other person was saying. Ridiculous.

Same here. I opted to adjust the sensitivity so the cursors wouldn't jump around as much.
Pretty sure it is an option to turn it off in windows since vista and Apple laptops also do it.

Its also a option here. Press the touch pad button (right above the number 3) and it wont respond
Wow... I'm seriously all for the support and discussions within forums to help others with their problems, but seriously? Before you suggest what a company should or shouldn't do, maybe you should read the manual for all the features.
Turning off the mousepad IS an option on the keyboard.

I think the op was referring to auto turning on/off when typing - well, that's how I read the subject line of their post.
I agree it should be automatically done, there wouldn't be a need to have an on/off button if it is done automatically. not everyone has perfect typing posture and some people have fatter palms than others!!
I'm pretty sure that this is option in mac and windows synaptic drivers ('palm detect' option or something... This is even achievable within linux if you mess about with xorg.conf files, do a google...

op means auto-off for the trackpad while typing...read twice please
Notebooks don't tend to turn the trackpad off. Rather, they build the ability to differentiate between palm touches and intentional touches into their trackpad software. That's what I'd love to see Asus do, because as much as I try to maintain good posture, I've run into this problem quite a bit on my Transformer.
I'm guessing that'll be resolved in a future update...

I don't think my ASUS RoG does either. Would really make playing WoW much harder.

That's because some touchpad drivers have an OPTION which you have to turn on where it will disable touchpad when typing or when a mouse is plugged in. Not one laptop that I know of would do this automatically.
Secondly, I really thing your're being picky beyond reason. I mean the Android keyboard already has every possible shortcut on it. All you have to do is hit the mousepad key and it's done!
Regards
The OP is referring to "Palm Rejection" which is a feature that the touchpad / touchscreen firmware has to support. For Synaptics, they call it SmartSense.

Which would likely get very annoying having to do it every time you stop typing and need to use the trackpad.
I honestly have had better luck anyway leaving it off. I use the keyboard for typing and my finger for navigating. It works great and i haven't used the trackpad in days.

Dear all,
some pages, e.g. Flickr, have hotkeys available, to make the navigation faster.
But,
there is a problem, when I want to use these on our beloved Sensation, due to no possibility to open the keyboard, without having a textfield selected on the screen.
Hopefully, I am wrong.
So please,
If you have an idea, how to open the keyboard when ever I want - please, let me know.
Many thanks in advance for your response.
All the best,
Mario
Try holding down the menu key, that used to work on my Nexus One. Doesn't on CM9, but might on others.

You often have to to to Settings->Language & Keyboards and activate the new keyboard first too. It used to be you could long-press on a text field to change the input method but that doesn't seem to work now. Maybe its an ICS change, or something related to Sense? Not sure.
By the way, have you already paid for Slide-It? If you're just using the trial, you might want to try the Swype Beta as well, as I find it works pretty well, and is free.
