better keyboards question for android 1.6

Hello, so I installed gbhill's 1.6 rom and I went to the market to download better keyboards. Once it was finished I went to setting options and selected to enable the better keyboards but I can't use them when the keyboard comes up. Is there something else I need to do to get this working?

Randomly, maybe you need to go to the keyboard settings and check mark touch input?
(I have no idea if it works but can't hurt to try)

Better keyboards works very well on thistle Rom. To get it going u just need to long press in a text field and select it. Assuming u have it activated in the settings

i love better keyboard with the android skin.

Yea i was a bit daft, they gave me clear instructions i didnt read. You need to hold the ?123 in the bottom left corner

[Q] Gingerbread Keyboard Mod

I am running the debloated 2.3.4 and have tried 6-7 different keyboards, but like the stock keyboard best with the exception of the space bar in portrait mode i keep hitting the (.) button i would like to slim down the Return button move the period button over and make the space bar longer

Swype, keyboard, weird menu popped up?

I was curious about my Swype keyboard on my Galaxy.
I hit something by accident and the input keyboard area turned into a bunch of big buttons with arrows and direction on them.
Anyone know what this is or how to get it to show again?
I hit the return key fast before I realized it was too late. lol
Thanks.

Swype from the tips key (the one in the bottom left) to the SYM key (the one to the right of it) and you'll pull up a new set of inputs designed to help you navigate text.

for me the swype keyboard keeps freezing and i have to switch inputs to the regular keyboard, then back to swype to reset it. it will last for about a day then freezes up again. I'm running a stock rom on evo 3d. im planning on rooting and running a custom rom, but i was wondering if it happens to more than just my phone.

[Q] Keyboard Dock Functionality

Hey all,
So I just recently bought the keyboard dock (a little late to the game I know ) and I was wondering if I could add some functionality to it.
First am I able to change what apps open with the function keys? Mainly I want to change the browser button so that it opens Chrome Beta instead of the stock browser.
Also can I add keyboard shortcuts in various apps? Specifically is there any way I can add cntrl+T or cntrl+F etc to Chrome Beta?
Finally, when I lock my screen using the lock function key I cannot turn the screen back on without reach up and clicking the button on the tablet. Is there a button on the keyboard that does this? Does it not work in ICS?
That's about all I can think of right now. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know the answers on all your questions yet.
You can bring your tablet to life by swiping your finger over the touchpad, then press the home button to unlock.
Don't think there is a function to attach buttons to self-defined apps for now, anybody: correct me when i'm wrong.

See here for the browser button issue. As far as remapping other keys, that's dependent upon each application.
And if the TF101 w/ ICS is anything like the TF201, there should be a setting for dock power saving. If it's enabled, then the tablet won't wake up to key presses on the dock.

Thanks for this! I was wondering how to do this. I just recently gave out trying to figure it out since the key press is one inch away from my screen icon LOL. I have to say, Google needs to replace the stock browser with Chrome in future Android versions. What an improvement!!
Nice bike in your avatar. Here's my track monster after I mangled my old racebike.

[Q] Some questions about CM10 nightly and RaymanFX CM10

Hi,
I tried both the official CM10 nightly and RaymanFX's B4. Both work smoothly and reliably. But there are still things I miss from the stock ASUS, and I wonder if there is a workaround or fix:
1. There is no Hebrew layout for the physical keyboard. the settings doesn't have this option. I looked at /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars and there are files for hebrew (asusec-iw_IL.kl, kcm). I even tried to copy the files over another language that exists in the settings but this didn't help
2. when I plug the HDMI cable, there is no icon, and I didn't find a way to hide the status bar to allow full screen on the tv
3. in the ASUS rom there is an option in the settings to configure the right mouse key (when connecting an external mouse). is there a way to configure the right key to 'back'
4. is there a way to disable trackpad pinch to zoom? when I scroll in the browser, it always zoom in/out a little all the time
5. is there a way to reverse the scrolling gesture direction for the trackpad (to be like normal pc's)
Thanks,
(I am a new user so I can't post on the RaymanFX thread, hope someone sees this)
