UK Keyboard now WM6.5.5 friendly

I've tweaked the qwerty keyboard a little bit so I don't have to hunt for the £ and € sign and \ on secondary pages. In landscape the arrow buttons have been moved to the left-hand side, which centres the letter keys better which think is easier for 2 thumb typing; the side-effect is that xT9 doesn't work correctly.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

I've added the cab file below. It should uninstall correctly but it will need a soft reset afterwards.
21/01/2010 - New cab with some fixes to the layout, mainly affecting the xT9 toggle in portrait and landscape.
14/02/2010 - I've added an additional cab that works with WM6.5.5, it's almost identical to the other version but the button placement is correct.

Oooh, that's quite good. Must come in fairly useful. Now if someone could add ".co.uk" to the long press of the ".com" button, it would be perfect!

I've poked and prodded but the TLDs are not stored in the layout files, I think they are in the binary , I've not given up looking though!

Nope. Sorry. I don't get it...
I can see what you've done with the £ sign (nice!). But I cannot see any change to the location of the € and \ signs on the screenshots provided. Or have I misunderstood what you meant...?

I can't take a screen shot of it, but holding down the "f" key pops up "£ € $", likewise with the "/" key I've added "\".
The only problem I've got with the landscape keyboard is xT9 doesn't work properly as the keys are offset, that said I find in landscape xT9 isn't useful; in portrait I find it a necessity.

I dont suppose you know if its possible to disable or remove the xt9 button do you? It bugs me as I'm constantly catching it without noticing owing to its stupid placement and I find it pretty pointless - I always have t9 on and it automatically switches off in password input sections anyway

The toggle is just a few lines in the layout file, so it's possible to remove it.

Could you do it for me? it would have been better I think if HTC had made that button smaller and had it as a toggle to pop up the up/down/left/right keys instead of them being constantly on show as they aren't used very often. I don't know about you but i actually haven't had a single need to turn xt9 off since I got the phone and I really can't understand why they put the button there in the first place.

Yeah, I'll do it this evening. I don't use xT9 all the time, it can be a bit awkward when you are trying to enter names and such or website logins etc, and I have no use for it in landscape (doesn't work properly now anyway).
I could make the toggle box much smaller, so it's harder to hit accidentally, which I think is a better idea. Do you want it shrinking in both portrait and landscape?

Could you do that? Maybe a tiny box right to the far left. The more fiddly to activate the better! I really never use the keyboard in landscape as I find it harder owing to the greater travel needed for the fingers.

Thanks for the offer but I had a go before I saw your message. If you could test it though, that would be great.
It's the same keyboard layout from the screenshots in my first post, and as mentioned xT9 is won't work properly in landscape (portrait is unaffected). I've been able to uninstall the cab (soft reset required) and go back to the defaults without any problems; but if anything goes wrong don't sue me!

Sure, I'll do it some time tonight.
I actually like landscape as my previous phone was a Touch Pro; I find I can be fairly quick typing with two thumbs.

Swype Tips & Tricks - WOW Swype is complex!

No wonder I didn't like it. I wasn't using half of its functionality! There's a TON of hidden stuff.
http://www.swypeinc.com/tips-tricks.html
Check out the Swype Help and the Video Tips & Tricks.
I was also completely ignoring the Sym key!
A small excerpt:
Editing
It is often faster to ignore the Word Choice window and just keep entering text, checking the text after you have entered a paragraph or so.
If you spot an incorrect word, edit it by double-tapping the word. The Word Choice window will display, allowing you to select the intended word, which will automatically replace the highlighted word. The intended word will usually be the first word in the list, in which case you can touch anywhere in the window and glide up through the top of the window to correct the word. In addition, the text cursor will automatically return to where it was before you double-tapped the word, so that you can keep going with entering text where you were before you paused to review the last paragraph.
If you don't find the word you want anywhere in the Word Choice window, simply Swype the word again and the new word entered will replace the incorrect word (in this case, the text cursor will be left at the end of the word you enter, in case you wish to do further editing there).
Instead of double-tapping a word to correct it, you can also tap your finger once anywhere within the word, and then press the Swype key .
Once you tap the Swype key, the word containing (or next to) the cursor is highlighted and a Word Choice window appears that shows the alternate word choices from when the word was entered. You can select the intended word, or begin Swyping a new entry to replace the word.
Note that Swype only keeps this information (the list of alternate word choices associated with a word) for a few hundred words. If you attempt to edit a word that was entered prior to this history, or for which no other possible words were identified, Swype may simply "beep" to inform you that no alternate word choices are available, and no Word Choice window will be displayed.
To edit more than a few words, consider using the Editing keyboard.
Click to expand...

I was also using it wrong; looking at each word after I swyped to see if it was correct. I'm going to test it out more by just going full-bore and only checking after paragraphs.
Any full-time Swype users out there?

I used it for about a month or so as my only kb and found it was a lot easier if you didn't think about it, but I didn't know about that functionality either. I have been using smart keyboard pro for about a month or so now and type just a little slower than I did with swype but with better accuracy on smaller words.
I may give it another go again after reading this information. Thank you.

Great info as always paul, thanks much didn't know about it either lol

Woah that's really deep! Will have to check out all those videos when I get home tonight. Thanks!

this is also all covered in the swype tutorial and tips and tricks when you tap the swype key

My primary keyboard. I think it is fantastic. I do tend to check my input every few words. My biggest problem with it is that I can't spell
The big questions for me are:
When will they release it ?
How much will it cosr ?
When will there be a Tablet PC version ?

Is anyone able to edit a word by tapping on it twice? For me the only way is when I tap on it once then hit the Swype key.

Double tap works in landscape but in portrait I have to use swype key.
Are you using the beta version on these forums? I've got a feeling it might be out of date and that's a feature missing from the portrait keyboard in our version.

I can't remember which version I'm using lol. When I first got my Nexus I had to go through quite a few versions which didn't work and lost track of which ones I tried.

Re: WOW Swype is complex!
I cant be without swype now. The videos are very useful, I didn't take they added more, I'll have to check the new ones out. A big change for me was when I realized you could swype over things like ' and it knew what you needed making a word like hadn't much quicker. Also tyre swyping over the necessary keys for a smiley face it knows! Or swype z to space for an exclamation. Very fast way to type, I couldn't be without it.

The punctuation stuff use to bother me a lot in an earlier beta, but being able to swype to the spacebar is awesome.

Hah! Yet another easter egg. I was wondering last night why double tap never worked! Just tested, and yep, looks like landscape only, unless they changed it in a newer beta version.

If you go into the Swype options (Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> Swype), you can see your version number at the bottom. Here's my version:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is anyone using a newer version?
I'm in the beta, but haven't received any emails at all since I first signed up. I wonder if you have to manually go and get your updates, or there just haven't BEEN any updates period?

Wow, thanks for the videos. There's one I didn't see when I did the tutorial on the phone. I remember accidentally bringing up the "sym" layer and couldn't for the life of me figure out how I did it
I checked my version number and it's the same version as you. I was wondering about updates too, I'm also in the beta and atrackdog tells me theres newer versions available.

That was a great find with all in one page, it even worked watching from my Nexus. I never knew half the stuff it could do till now. Thanks for shring this info. Everthing worked perfect i'm using 1.25.5612.t100 Black and white themed!

Love the keyboard in portrait mode. Hate the keyboard in landscape mode. Though I never really use landscape to type things.
I'd recommend anyone who uses the keyboard to read through the help file included with the keyboard. I really really love this keyboard because I tend to use multi syllabic words, and it's incredibly faster than typing out with t9 or reg keyboard.
The only thing I wish I could configure is the "in between words" time. I usually have to intentionally stop swiping when doing two words that end and start with letters close together, otherwise it will interpret them as one word. (ex: time and react)
Plus it has a tab key. =P
edit:
Just foudn out about Hopping: All over my face, so awesome

I use it full time and I love it!!! Much faster than a regular HTC keyboard!

I honestly don't know how people don't use it. It's so easy and in my mind much quicker. Working for T-Mo I give demos of it at least 5-6 times a day and people are blown away. Especially the heavy texters who won't leave their hardware keyboard...
"Wanna Race?"

I love swype, specially the ability to type numbers by long-pressing, no need to shift modes, and long-pressing the Q to change language.
However the thing that annoys me the most is when my preferred word for something gets hidden by another one that I used only ONCE and I can't seem to restore it, no matter how many times I type it or click on the swype key...

One of the neat tricks I found out last night. Double tap a word so it's highlighted. Then press the Sym key and it will either add your word, or delete it.

First of all I would like to thank the users below for letting me to use their work
BT73 for his OP "Making Your Action screen like me",
lyriquidperfection for his great Touch tools for HTC apllication,
Marcdu81 for his very useful HD2connections cab and
Dinik for his great HD2 Iconset
makeveral for letting me integrate his very useful ram sweeper in my cab.
In "EndKey replacement" I used their work or some of their work, edited some things and I came up with this app as a result.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this app is to replace the EndKey function with a more useful and with more options one.
INSTALLING
Just install the cab and reset.
EDITING
You can change the functions of the buttons by editing the keys that reside in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen] with a registry editor.
1. Open HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_0-11. Each number corresponds to a button
2. Change "Path" to point to your desired app.
3. Edit "Param" if you want to pass parameters to the app.
For more editing, like background and buttons please see BT73's OP
UPDATE
Now when you press a button you also have an icon showing up. Thanks to k8sh's idea
UPDATE 2
I replaced the camera button with Enter bootloader. Preview below.
UPDATE 3
I made the buttons to get pressed like k8sh suggested. see preview 3
UPDATE 4
Background changed to black.
Different key press, now the button gets smaller when you press it. (see preview 4)
Changed rotation.exe and now only changes clockwise and if you press again back to portrait.
UPDATE 4
I replaced some exe's that handled the connections with JMLcomm. Now it's smaller in size and flight mode and DATA on/off should work for everyone.
New GTX style
UPDATE 5
RAM Sweeper is now integrated to cab and replaces the rotation button
PREVIEW
GTX Style thanks to colossus_r

Looks good, will have to try this out.
Thanks!

This is so awesome. Thank you for sharing! And thanks to BT73, lyquidperfection, and Marcdu81 for making this simple but extremely useful add-on possible.

Very nice,good job !

I hate to bug you but nothing happened. I tried installing in SC and device but nothing happened. Should I be doing anything else? This should pop up when I perform a short press on the end key, right (the red hard button)?

You have to install it to the device and it pops up when you long press the end key.
please try it and give some some feedback because I see you have the TMOUS HD2 version and there might be some differences.

Got it. I was doing a short press only before. Long press definitely works as it should.
I also noticed that the window only pops up for a few seconds. Any reg tweak to make it longer or stay since the app can be exited by pressing any of the hard buttons?
Also when you press a button (icon), you can't really tell that you are pressing it right?
I forgot to add that data disconnect does not work for me. Is this the same issue as Marcdu81's HD2 Connexions? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6074894&postcount=101
All in all I like it and I will be using it. If I follow BT73's steps I can substitute a few buttons with ease?

good job man
Thanks

1. For the window popping out for a few seconds I haven't seen any reg entries that could change that. Although I'll try to find if there's anything we can do.
2. For the buttons not showing what you press I did it on purpose because I didn't like the result when I putted some icons. The bmp format (used by the app) looses all the transparency from the icons I use. I have something in mind and when its ready I'll post an updated cab here.
3. No it's not this problem as launching DataOnOff.exe from the action screen does not involve any shortcuts. The only shortcut to the program is written in registry and it's correct there. DataOnOff.exe can take several parameters (try running it from \windows\actionscreen folder without any parameters to see a list of available options) I use "-gprstoggle" which should toggle on and off but it doesn't work correctly to my phone either. It's only disconnecting the GPRS and not connecting it. (that's not a problem for me though as I only want it to disconnect).
Thanks for your feedback and your thoughts.

I edited my post and added that the data on/off is actually just Data OFF. It does not work for data ON. This is the same for Touch X Data Disconnect (hence, the name). Does Marcdu's work as Data On/Off or is it one-way only?

Please check my previous post

I just realized that it is also not an issue for me since if I don't have wifi, gprs will be activated automatically by whatever app that accesses it, if off.
I have an idea for the icon when pressed, the icon must already have the background as that of the action screen because of the transparency then perhaps changed it to grayscale or whatever is best for an icon when pressed. (See attached figure).
However, a plain dark background must be used like the one you are using now.

Hey thanks for the acknowledgment! I installed the v2 and there are a few kinks, the pressed icons are a bit misplaced relative to the original colored icons. I took screen shots of all the icons (zip file) so maybe you can play around with the x y positions when you have time?

It's supposed to be missplaced so you can see them when you press them.
If you want I will try to make them seem larger when you press them.

Here is another suggestion. You can crop the pressed icon so that there is a little more on top (screen shot) and you can align the icon with a slight offset in the vertical direction (so it looks like it is moved downwards only when pressed, covering the icon label entirely). I attached another screen shot of what it will look like when pressed if my description does not make sense.
It's only a suggestion. You always have the option to ignore me.

Just out of curiosity which one do you prefer the one with bootloader or with camera?

Actually, I don't even know what the boot loader is for. Maybe if I do, I will choose that one since Scilor came out with this new tweak where you can use the volume key to take photos and it works for me. But it may or may not work in some phones so you probably should not include it even if you want to (and it is only version 0.1).

Remap Keyboard Keys

I have AOKP Milestone 6 installed and I love how it looks, especially the Hide Notification Bar option because it makes my TF feel more like a netbook when I have it docked. The only problem is that the long press shortcuts don't work on the keyboard (ex. long pressing the home key doesn't give me the recent apps menu, it just brings me to the home screen).
I was wondering if there was a way to re-map some of the shortcut keys in the top row (bluetooth toggle, camera, internet, etc...) to my own custom actions such as launching the recent apps menu, killing a window and bringing up the notification bar. I know it's possible to do this in Linux since I just did it for a remote that I use with XBMC (the remote emulates a keyboard), I just didn't know if they feature is extended to Android or not.
Sent from my TF101 using Tapatalk 2

its possible but not easy. Some things can be remapped in the users/ect files such as ausec.(c something) but other more complex things like recent apps have to be done in framework-res.apk as far as i remember

Check out /system/usr/keylayout/asusec.kl.
I'm not sure if you can map keys to specific things like killing a window or bringing up the notification bar. However, recent apps is accessible through alt+tab (try it!) and so you may want to swap the Search and Alt keys.
EDIT: Some useful key names to look for and replace:
ALT_LEFT: left alt
ALT_RIGHT: right alt
SEARCH: search key
FORWARD_DEL: delete, as opposed to backspace. not mapped to anything by default
ESCAPE: escape key. I have this bound to the wifi key because I always accidentally hit it, and sometimes escape is useful in terminals or remote desktop

Thats right usr/keylayout not user/ect don't know what i was thinking there. I know there is a way to exchange the stupid alt-tab icon recent apps to the cards recent apps but i don't have time to do that right now. I was also going to work on getting a guide set up on how to remap everything because it seems to be a pretty common desire.
Edit:
Found it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450138

Thanks for the info guys, I'll give it a try! I definitely think I'm going to stick with AOKP for a while since it seems to give me the best experience since I've had my TF (over a year).

Thanks for the info guys, I'll give it a try! I definitely think I'm going to stick with AOKP for a while since it seems to give me the best experience since I've had my TF (over a year).

Change Dock Search to Recent Apps?

Hey there, i was wondering if anyone know's how to remap the Search (Or pretty much any) key on the TF Dock to open recent apps?

+1 on this!

Hold down ALT then hit TAB, wait 1 second then release ALT key. If you keep hold down ALT you will see all the apps, if you release too fast it will open up google now. I don't think you could remap the search key.

remapping the search key should be as easy as the "browser fix" done in ICS. Essentially map that key, redirect to a new application, and done! Of course its a little more involved than that but it should be possible. Maybe ask one of the devs who did the browser button map hack see if they can help you

That exactly what I meant, you need dev's works. On my droid charge I could edit my keyboard file to map key almost anyway I like. If we figure out the parameter (word) for the search key, it should work. The file to edit should be in /system/usr/keyboardlayout/file.kl
