Hey saw this on engadget, and was wondering............ since the screen size is the same, when released will it be as simple as transfer apk to evo for multi touch keyboard.
here is the link to the "review" of the droid x with multi touch keyboard and swype keyboard built in
http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/exclusive-motorola-droid-x-preview/
I was just about to ask the same thing. I hope we can, looks like something id like to try!
I was wondering the same thing.
On that note, "Smart Keyboard Pro" on Android Market(not free) also has multi touch enabled keyboard
Its Swype, the guys will probably have it as soon as they get the Apk on their hands.

na thats not the swype keyboard. they said it has swype ANd a multi touch keyboard.
wasnt aware that a keyboard all ready has it...... will check it out
I will be using smart keyboard pro......... But from the looks alone........ the one that comes one Droid X looks better (in my opinion)
Hi all,
Does anyone have access to the test .apk that Blueinput released that might let me use/test this with my samsung Galaxy S?>
It doesnt seem that their live .apk on their site will work with every device.
Or maybe there is a better option somewhere that I am not aware of.
Anyone have any luck using other methods to connect a bluetooth keyboard to their Android handsets?
I am rather disapointed that I have been unable to pair my Nokia SU-8W with my Sammy
I am doing the bulk of my mobile typing with my N95 8Gb (paired with su-8w) now that I have sold my HD2.
This is a nuisance as:
a/. the notes application really sucks and doesnt give me much in the way of layout options
b/. the screen is 320 x 240 and just not as nice to read....
Can anyone advise me?
Thanks
XxJPM froyo has given me full bluetooth mouse and keyboard on my galaxy s . This is good rom people.

i prefer the gingerbread keybaord but the ones I found are to small for the screen. Does someone have a gingerbread keybaord with the qHd resolution? Or can some one make it?

If you get the paid one in the market you can resize it by yourself. I have done it with the Atrix (same resolution as the Sensation). so there is no reason it wouldnt work for you.
thank you!!! what is your keyboard layout size at? Im trying to get it perfect.

kb height at 85 row gap 8 bottom padding 12 keytext size 38. that works for me. no problem!
I was thinking that I bet the SPB Shell 3D Launcher would be GREAT on the Note. It is expensive. It is up to $14.95 now but isn't your Note worth it ??
Here is a youtube video

I saw already a thread about the spb I think it was in the general forum.

The thread is in the correct place now. You gotta go to college to figure out this theme I think.
Dont get it....i have tried it and it looks very bad...tiny icons and not good as shown in the video due to our screen resolution...may be they may update once nexus is out but as of now its unusable...

from the sound of things, you havent even tried to tweak it?
if you go into the home settings, experimental, you can switch between tablet and smartphone layouts. smartphone layout is what you'd want for our screen. the only downside is that smartphone layout reverts to a 4x4 grid with larger icons. hopefully they'll fix it in future. the only other issue is that due to the unusual screen size vs resolution, some of the widget borders arent placed correctly.
personally, i used it on my old motorola atrix, and now im using it on my note. i prefer it because it leaves me much more free ram over the course of the day compared to touchwiz, and it has the widgets that i like. it also seems to run smoother for me compared to launcherpro.
I have SPB Shell 3D on my Note and it works really well. If you are finding everything too small, you need to change the settings from tablet mode to phone mode - then it will look pretty much as you would expect. In the long run I actually really like tablet mode - it's pretty small but you can fit a huge amount of info on a screen. Overall speed and visual quality is great in either mode.
I'll have to admit that I don't use it that often, but it is a really sophisticated launcher......
where is that setting found ?? Tablet & Phone.
oops .. never mind found it !
@shEEEsh if you have latest spb shell
try menue,homescreen settings and experimental
i hope this right because i'm using german language settings
you make my Day

SPB is very nice. Very cool looking if nothing else. I've used it for a few weeks but I keep going back to ADW. Some of the swipe shortcuts you can do with ADW are just too useful to pass up and I like the ways you can customize the dock with ADW.
SPB Mobile Shell update
This launcher has been updated and now you can alter the size of the Android widgets!! It is a great alternative and it seems to make the Note even snappier all round, from responsiveness to opening and scrolling through the screens - a great alternative to TW!!
Some of the SPB widgets are excellent too!
Looks good but not worth the price IMHO.
Holy crap, its amazing
I'm using 1.2.4. Whats new in 1.5?

SPB widgets are awesome, but the downside is its still stuck on either 4x4 or 16x16. they need to give users a choice. i'd personally prefer either 5x5 or 6x6 with the resolution we have.
ah well, hopefully they'll update it soon since there are a lot more HD phones launching next year. although HD doesnt have as many pixels as our WXGA display, the extra features would still be appreciated. its nice to know theyve adjusted the scaling of the widgets to match our displays though, the calendar widget now displays properly.
oh and SPB manages ram usage a bit better than touchwiz from my experience. you end up with more free ram to play with.
I'm using spb in tablet mode and I think it's amazing.
Much snappier since the recent updates and I can fit loads on the screens.
Just needs a few tweaks like customization of dockyard etc and I'm very happy.

1.5 fixes the scaling issue (ie. text no longer pops outside of windows). it also adds more panels and improves panel management.
just dont update to 1.52. i just did. it adds support for android 3.x and 4.x but it messes up the scaling so text on some screens is small. the weather widget doesnt look as good in 1.52 compared to 1.5.
running in tablet mode and have to say this is the best launcher up till now i have used awd and launcher pro but spb is the best for me
They should offer trial versions.

I bought it and realized that it does not worth this money.
Try Go Launcher, it is better and FREE!

Download, quickly set up, use all within the 15-minute refund window.
Don't like it? Uninstall and you get a refund.
Its a regional rebrand of the softtouch s1
Its an nfc keyboard. Its litte bit squishy but far supperior to any other pocketabke keyboard i have tried so far its split in the middle (Nfc to connect with the device) works like a charm, only wish my note had nfc. this post is one of the first things I have written with this but allready i can type faster then the allready fast on-screen keyboard.
it is missing a dedicated numbers row but all the android specific keys work like a charm. One2touch.no is the website of these guys.
as i live in norway i am quite limited when it comes to the selection of keyboards supporting local characters.
