Hi folks,
For a while now, I've been tired of the slow speed that it takes to long-press the letters to get a number. I remembered having a rom long ago that allowed to customize the long-press speed. I'm really happy with the new up to date 4.1.1/4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) roms, but they don't contain that feature .
Now the question is, is there anyway to reduce the Long-press time on current roms that do not contain that feature?
Thanks, I appreciate any help.

I believe it is a matter of modding the keyboard.apk

Thanks for the reply , but i'm really not at all knowledgeable on modifying APK's .
Also, If there is a keyboard app that has that feature, i'll take it as well.

I'm from Vietnam, and I'm using Go Tieng Viet 3 app. It contains Vietnamese and many other languages, but you can delete vietnamese and use english only. Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kynam.ime.gotiengviet
Of course it has changing long-press timeout feature, from 0 to 1000ms, but with 80% vietnamese setting interface, maybe hard for you to customize. If you still want to use it, pm me and I'll take some screenshots for easy setting
My english is bad and I shoud feel bad - sent from my crespo.
Thank you for the information, i will give that App a try.
Swift Key
I'm using Swift key. They have a setting for this but dos an body know how to do this Wirth a standard keyboard?
bump?

With the help (without knowing) of Showaco,Lioryte and Xavinet I manage to have the weather on today in Portuguese.Thank you very much to all of them for the hard work.
Now I want to share this with you.If you want to put it in another language just edit transfile.ini to what ever language you want.Don´t forget to update it every time you get new warnings that will show in English.
Thanks a lot for sharing this
Just look at that weather - fab!

Mod Edit: IMEI removed for your own security, you wouldn't post your home address and phone no. on a forum same goes for IMEI
Don't post your imei!
Why don't post my imei???
I don't get it... what's the problem?
EDIT:
If you are having problem with the keyboard layout Touch Pro/Fuze, then install an app named 'ProFuze'. It changes the keyboard layout.
You can download it here: http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=54874&view=previous
On your phone there is written 'swisscom', so it comes from Switzerland - I'm sure, because there are these letters like 'äöü'

Because someone can steal it; or, your carrier could see you've been mucking around on xda-developers and may decide to not fulfill warranty requests. Finally, no one needs to know your imei to answer your question.

Additional regedit HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Keybd\CurLang and setting it to 2055 (dec) works! - The keyboard layout is German (Swiss)
(Thanx to SaBo)
I've searched throughout XDA and can't seem to find a keyboard that I can install that brings back my beloved T9! Searching the market brings up little as well.
I just recently got CM6.1 + Kernel #43 (+ various other things) but before this i was still using MoDaCo's 1.5 ROM and although I love [almost] EVERYTHING about CM6 - I can't find a way to get the dial-pad keyboard with T9 for texting. I'm assuming it doesn't exist.
I just want to know what keyboard is good and simple and includes a T9 dialpad-style keyboard for portrait view. Preferably free... but not required.
Some keyboards I've heard of, but no verification of T9:
Smart Keyboard Pro
Swift Key
SWYPE

See my HTC IME thread Has compact QWERTY and T9 modes
THANKYOU!
This is fantastic!
EXACTLY what I was looking for. I can type extremely fast now (even in the car... shhhh) and at first, I was glad to have to T9 back but the keyboard itself looked a bit goofy. Then I saw the 'AOSP generic look'; it is perfect.
Thanks so much!
Follow up
Ok - I had to follow up on this again after using the keyboard for a few days. I don't think I did it much justice.
This keyboard is incredible. Not only is it simple looking (although you can apply other themes if you wish), the customizability (is that a word?) is insane. I spent forever just going through and playing with all the settings. Sometime it takes a while since you have to kill the keyboard and wait a second for it to come back in a typing app to test it, then go back to the settings menu, tweak, rinse & repeat.
I was thrilled to see that there are custom smiles because when I do use the smilies, which isn't often, I don't like them to have the 'dash' noses (ex. ) I prefer the simple but maybe I'm just really picky. Having the customizable smilies is awesome. You could even just replace them with anything you use often. One downside however is if you add too many, they'll just run off the screen and you'll not have access to them.
The custom swipes is a nice feature as well. When you swipe along the keyboard in one of four directions, you can assign custom functions. I have my 'swipe-up' set to 'Shift' so I can get capital letters quickly. I know it doesn't seem quicker than pressing the shift key but it is for me. It just feels more natural too when I'm texting or emailing. You can even set a swipe to change languages , I think this would make multi linqual people very satisfied. Type BOOM Tipo BOOM 类型 BOOM Тип.
There are many other settings including the organization of buttons, word prediction and spelling settings, and much more. You can even save and restore settings!
Best of all... it's FREE!
Edit: Thanks again!

Ok, well so long as it works then
So the wife can't live without her stock HTC keyboard. I'm going to flash AOSP's CM7 build for her, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a plain old stock HTC ime that will work with GB and specifically this ROM? Thanks.
the timeout for messages being displayed, with backlight on, is now fixed to a set amount of seconds, i want this to be selectable
this is also the timeout for the screen if you switch it on manually
i know it will affect battery life if set higher, but that should be my choice
ofcourse the current setting should be selectable as well, as default, so it won't affect anyone who doesn't want this option
i'm in contact with Sony Support in the Netherlands, if 10+ people also want this, it will be easier for them to get it done
so please post "me too" in this topic if you want this option as well
please keep the topic clean, if there are other requests, please open a new topic where we can do the same
thanks

I am not sure if few guys in Netherlands can change anything, but no one ever knows.
If it would be possible, please tell them to consider option to turn screen completly off.

well i've been trying to get in contact with Sony about this, in all possible ways, no luck so far, so i'll take anything i can get
come on guys, a "me too" is all i want
added some text to the OP, to reflect that the current setting should be the default, so people that don't want this option won't be affected
come on guys, i need a bit more than 3 people
me too!!
Me too!
Yes me too! This would be wonderful :fingers-crossed::good:
cool, that makes 6
clarified the first post a bit more, hoping for a few (or a lot ) more "me too"'s
Yes please! Me too.

It uses short gestures instead of taps to get each key. You select each key rather than tap and hope for the best. It's a little difficult to explain but the video might be able to help with undershanding.
Key features:
-ability to quickly move the cursor by rotating.
-Ability to select text easily
-Copy, cut and paste shortcuts
-More special characters accessed by longpressing any key.
This is my first app I learned about android apps sloely to develop this. I found that everyone that dislikes this keyboard do so because they don't understand how it works I made a video explaining how to do the tutorial. Which you can find on the play store listing. I would really love to hear any questions, comments and especially suggestions that you have. I appreciate any sort of input you guys can give me and if you happen to like it a rating and/or review on thi play store would help me alot.
Also here is a list of things being worked on:
-select all and deselect all on clipboard menu(already done)
-resizing, moving aand undocking the keyboard
-Autocorrect and predictions shown on in a circular pattern around the keyboard.
-Because each key is a gesture instead of a tap even if you don't completely swipe over the line NovaKey will know what you are trying to type.

This keyboard is absolutely brilliant. :good:
Fantastic idea,.. i use it on my galaxy s4 cyanogen cm12 and my wife which was able to write smooth and fast with it already after only a couple of minutes when she first time used it on her galaxy s3 stock and she wan´t use anything else from now on.
I really hope the development of this great app will continue and that there will follow also different language for spelling
(in our case,.. German..).!
Just a question and suggestions:
I´m not able to find the "+" symbol.. so far....?
Hopefully the cursor on the grey background will be made a little more visible for blind people like me..... :cyclops:
Maybe also different color-designs to choose from.
Suggestions from my wife:
The letters that are used the most maybe should be the ones with the most easy to do gesture... makes it even faster..
Take a look at the letter frequencies of the English language for example:
e....12.702%
t.......9.056%
a.......8.167%
o.......7.507%
i........6.966%
n.......6.749%
s.......6.327%
h.......6.094%
r........5.987%
d.......4.253%
l........4.025%
c.......2.782%
u.......2.758%
m......2.406%
w......2.360%
f........2.228%
g.......2.015%
y.......1.974%
p.......1.929%
b.......1.492%
v.......0.978%
k.......0.772%
j........0.153%
x.......0.150%
q.......0.095%
z.......0.074%

Space could be double tap... for those with big fingers...
And maybe highlighting (colored) the symbol/letter which is in the circle when scrolling through the symbols... her finger always get´s in the way so that she doesn´t really see which one she has selected...

Thank You!
Thank You! I apologize for the late response. I really appreciate your suggestions and I'm glad you like my keyboard. I have gotten multiple requests so I will be adding German hopefully soon. Also, you will be able to resize and move the keyboard around so that might be more comfortable.
Oh and for "+" shift up from the numbers keyboard.
Thank You again!

Reminds me of 8pen. Interesting, but unfortunately can't beat the speed of regular tap-typing or swiping.
Keep going nethertheless for the coolness of it ;]
interesting concept, will give it a shot.
testing this keyboard, hopefully the developer didn't stop (last version from 28th of december)
New update from "v.cantu´s" amazing keyboard with many great improvements..!!!
Look above for the download-link on first post.
Btw..:
one more suggestion from my wife to the dev.. She tried the new version and finds it pretty cool...
Maybe you could implement the function that if you push a letter and hold it without moving it that it repeats the choosen letter several times...
so you can keep the option for choosing special characters but she doesn´t has to push for example letter "a" several times to get several "aaaaaa"....
Big thanks to the dev... :good:
What a great concept, too bad it was abandoned so quickly. Does anyone know of anything similar? The playstore is just choke full of glittery keyboard bull****, finding anything there is like looking for a needle in 10000 haystacks.
