[Q] Tap to move cursor and other lg ui stuff - T-Mobile LG G2x

So for p999 phones is there a rom with the lg ui and the tap to move cursor feature found in p990 phones? Cause I find that an interesting feature to have and it seems that the lg ui is faster than with stock froyo and go launcher ex.

I have yet to see a port of the LG keyboard that works to the t especially that function, if I remember right Smart Keyboard app allows you to use your volume toggle switches to.move the cursor. I don't think the LG UI is faster though cause it is a resource user where as stock launchers are minimal in use. But I may be wrong.

Keyboard Lag

Anyone have a keyboard lag fix for the leaked gingerbread build or for Eaglesblood? The lag is just ridiculous.
I've tried installing the Gingerbread keyboard from the market, no luck. Some people say to turn off haptic feedback in the keyboard settings, but I don't have that option in settings.

Wrong thread.....
G2X
This goes in General. And yes there is a fix in the respective threads. Both roms are based off the leaked GB and is a known issue.
Download the GB keyboard from the market.

also have lag on the keyboard on gingerbread
I've had great success using an alternative sms program ie chomp sms from the app store. I'm using swype but again both the gingerbread keyboard and swype keyboard were having the same huge lag issue. It was almost intolerable. I installed chomp sms and disabled the standard message app and everything is running absolutely crystal smooth.... Running eagle blood... Good luck!

I'm using Smart Keyboard seems to be helping with lag also has an option to disable period button because I'm always hitting it accidentally. It will make space bar bigger if you disable period button.

Sense Keyboard or Gingerbread?

Which do you prefer? I'm more used to the gingerbread cuz im a cyanogenmod freak

Tried both and don't like either. For certain reasons i have been using Smart Keyboard. Just my opinion as I always have searched for the ideal KB with manual customization, enlarging buttons, increasing haptic, etc...
If swift has all of this, then maybe I didn't give it enough time however I don't like hopping around.

You can enlarge the buttons in smart keyboard? How? I would like to use the entire space so that the buttons actually are touching each other instead if having small spaces in between them.
I need a keyboard with arrow keys, so far smart keyboard is the only one that does the trick for me. Sense and GB keyboard both lack it
I actually use an old version of "shape writer" that is a non market app that I found either on xda or android central forums.
Easily the best swipe style keyboard I've ever tried. And I've tried a LOT

I'm using the 3vo keyboard and it's pretty good. It's just a modified Gingerbread keyboard. SwiftKey X is probably my favorite though.

GB keyboard. i like the arrow keys.
Sorry for late reply. (SMART KEYBOARD).
Settings>general settings>key height(there you can manage height & width).
And if needed there is an option to pad the bottom of keyboard for "added lift ".
1 of the best features, are the addition of free skins in options. Just one tap and you can have almost any other keyboard variant.
Side note-Not sure if "pro version" varies as I only have this.

im not 100% sure but i was lookin at it the gb keyboard in the market and i notice there are two versions of the keyboard. one free one paid. the description under the paid version mentions this option while the free one doesnt. so i am guessing that only the paid version has this feature. but im just takin a guess here. sowy

smart keyboard pro for me. simple, accurate enough, no extra bells and whistles and lots of skins. I'm not a huge fan of 'swiping' to text and don't care about all the herp derp super accurate word prediction stuff thats a big issue with a lot of people

Better Keyboard
Stock gingerbread or Swype.
Stock GB is the only keyboard without lag, in my experience. If it wasn't for the lag I would say Smart Keyboard. SwiftKey would be amazing if it had an option to make the space bar larger. My texts are full of extra periods throughout from using it.

SwiftKey X is the best I have used, and once it learns your style, sometimes you can just use the predictions.

Smart KB Pro is hands down my favorite.

I use this themed version of HTC IME mod. just unzip and install apk. then go to settings, keyboards and check box. has tons of settings for key adjustment ,Smileys etc.if it has any lag,its faster than I can type
I alternate between SwiftKeyX which I love and the standard Samsung keyboard which always works.
By that I mean the SwiftKeyX hangs on most drop-down boxes on sites. For example, when selecting state for shipping, it will hang after selecting the drop-down. Otherwise it learned my typing style and works great!
For anything with an address, I switch back to the Samsung keyboard which is functional like the IOS keyboard.
I am hoping that when I root and update my phone, SwiftKeyX will work better.

I haven't found a keyboard better than the Gingerbread or ICS keyboard yet. Nothing else can keep up with how fast I type. I like Swiftkey X a lot due to it's fairly accurate predictions, but I can't type as fast on it without it's multitouch getting confused.
Also, themes and apps section next time!
I've tried most and use go keyboard also. I struggle hitting the period button when pushing space on most keyboards, therefore I have to be using one with a long spacebar or a spacebar that is shaded to the left right next to the back arrow.

I do the same damn thing and it pisses me off sometimes. Sometimes I look back at something I wrote and I have a period like 7 times instead of a space.
I tried modifying the apk to increase the size of the spacebar, minimizing the size of the return or smiley key, however it didn't seem to change anything. If someone else is more experienced with modifying something like that, I would LOVE a new ICS keyboard build with a longer spacebar more than anything.
Hmmm...food for thought ajerman will look into that

Swift Key X. I honestly don't see how any keyboard could be any better. So many options, some alright themes and it corrects so quickly and I love the vibration every key. I hated it on Sammy's stock keyboard but it feels like I'm doing work. I can text so quickly and it will pick out nearly every butchered word. I love it. They have a month trial..

+1 to SwiftKey
I've always used it. Best keyboard in my opinion.

Swiftkey would be my favorite if the multitouch was faster. It doesn't keep up well when you type fast.
I can't decide between TouchWiz and ICS Keyboard..

I thought Go keyboard was pretty good at first until I tried its swiping capabilities which were awful. If you don't swipe the letters perfectly it doesn't seem to be able to determine what you were trying to write. I don't seem to have a problem with swiftkey lag. Maybe I just don't type fast enough
another +1 for Swift Key. Just a few minor quirks but with out a doubt the best as far as accuracy and speed.

Pie controls

I understand what they are, but can someone please explain why they are so popular and what benefits they have??
Pie controls appear to be a selling point for many ROMs, but why are they useful? Infuses have hardware keys and so pie is unnecessary.
I just want to know if I am missing something...
Thanks!
Some people (like me) hate the fact that the backlights for the buttons are always on. PIE takes the buttons out of the equation, and no backlight issues.

It's just new and has a cool factor.

I have tried the pie control too and found that I didn't really liked it as well. I just think it's the flavor of the month.
I may be wrong though!

I agree pie controls are just the new thing. I like em but... I feel that in the infuse pie controls are unnecessary... However I could see them used on a new device instead of onscreen navigation keys.
sent from an old book
they are by user preference i think, its just that some people use their infuse one hand and some use both in some instances, so when u press and hold to your comfortable side you can simply slide to your shortcut :angel:
