Hi guys, I am not sure if many of you have this problem, but the arrow keys on the bottom row is really a pain, as it is just below the space bar.
More often than not, when I try to tap the space bar, I tend to accidentally hit the arrow keys below it, causing T9 to change to an alternate word.
This has been very annoying to me. I have done some search and found quite a few complains from the others as well regarding this issue.
I personally find no use for the keys to be there. and I believe same goes to most of you HD2 users.
Can I please ask for some help from the expert around to create a tweak or maybe some step by step guide to remove the arrow keys from the bottom row of the keyboard, making the keyboard shorter.
This is something that I believe will help many of us out there. thanks for viewing.
Your help will be appreciated!
PS: I have tried finger keyboard, but it still have the arrow keys, and i am having some problem with the suggesting contact names. I really hope some one could just remove the arrow keys from the original keyboard, as it is really good aside from the arrow keys being there. Thanks Again!

amen too that!
I would also like to see this happen.

Maybe something like the HD Mini, it has a button to switch between having the arrows and disabling them.

This would have the added bonus of freeing up more screen real estate. Or bigger buttons would be nice.
I would also love to see this happen.
The simple solution is for some third-party developer to design an alternative VK that finally utilizes the upgraded screen real-estate.
Android has tons of different keyboard layouts... developers just need to jump on-board with Windows Mobile.

I hate the arrows as well... We need a project to start working on this
Hi me again. So has any expert programmer out there could please please help us out???
any guidelines would be good. Thanks!!
Search for Nikoan89 wvga keyboard v2.2. That has the function with arrows you want.. Its an old feature btw..
Correction. version 1 see to be better... Pressthe arrow button and magic happen on top of the kb..
Hi, Nikoan keyboard seems to be ideal, however after installing his WVGA cab, my HD2 wouldnt boot and was always stuck at the white screen with the HTC words. At 1 point I tot i have bricked my phone... coz i wasnt able to sync and re flash my rom. However i got it fixed in the end.
i too am looking for something like this as well as modifying the landscape SIP to put the cursor keys on the left side of the KB.
why?
cuz i have small hands/thumbs. if the cursors were on the left, there would be equal reach to the keyboard on both sides, unlike now where the right side is twice the length than the left due to the strip of hardware keys adding to the length of reach.
if someone could reorganize the stock (HTC) keyboard cursors:
1. in portrait: remove the row of cursors or place them along the TOP edge of the keyboard.
2. in landscape: move the column of cursors from the right to the left of the keyboard.
SPB and Resco charge $20-25 for their keyboard solutions. after trying both, i think they both suck and i'm glad i trialed them first.
therefore, i'm willing to pay/donate $25 to the first person who can meet both of my requested modifications without bugs.
I personally prefer those arrow keys to be there. Only because I find it annoying that when I type, and make a mistake, putting my blinking cursor-line right after the mistake only to hit backspace to delete the mistake, is annoying.
I just typed a mu|stake. ARGH! (Must put cursor between U and S in order to edit it. - Always a hit/miss)
Any tips?
I think im just starting to realize how much i used keyboard shortcuts on my laptop. I love the shortcuts listed in the general information thread, but imo there are still a number of missing ones...
I wonder whether that's something that could be developed? Right now the most annoying one I miss is switching tabs in the browser, and I suppose that one would be difficult to add in. But other than that things like shortcuts to specific apps or to switch between them (a la alt+tab) or for copy paste...
Any devs looking app ideas...
theres nothing made yet, but i seriously think that it's possible.
If you look at the emulators you can bind any key on the keyboard (with certain exceptions) to anything.
so i don't see any reason why it's not possible. someone just has to figure out how.
personally i'd bind the FN key to the recent apps popup.
I'm combining two questions/issues here so I don't fill up this forum.
1. I heard a rumor (or read it somewhere going through this forum?) that the custom ROMs for the 3113 rarely implement the IR drivers as a means of being more compatible with other versions of this tablet. Is this true? Are there ROMs that support IR? As a TS owner, this is fairly important.
2. Nova launcher - perhaps this is more of a complaint session than a question: On every device I've owned, I've seen hacks and mods to attempt to get "tablet mode" working on a 7" device. Overall, I believe the attempt is to get launchers to look more tablet like. Yes, the soft buttons move to the left, and the menu locations change, but overall, I'm assuming the holy grail everyone is searching for is the tablet look on the launchers.
I saw a support section on the Nova website where the developer stated that creating phablet and tablet modes was hokey and pointless (paraphrasing). My question would be, has anyone attempted to mod Nova to support a tablet mode on a 7" device? Really all we're asking for here is to move the side located launch bar to the bottom, allow the side margins to change pages, and put the search bar on the top.
Is this really that big of a deal??? What is it with this belief that a 7" tablet owner should be happy with a phone interface, and why are the devs of the launchers too stubborn to give us the option to decide how we want our layout? Is there something I'm missing here?
I've been through every launcher ever made (practically), and to date, I've only seen one offshoot of ADW do what we're asking, but unfortunately, performance was down, it was a little buggy, and I believe the dev may not have been babying the development.

1. To the best of my knowledge, the IR issue is based on the fact that it is proprietary software that belongs to Samsung - and they have not released the code, or given permission, etc for it to be used. The only "custom" roms that will have the IR option will be those using a stock Samsung rom as its base.
2. I cannot respond to the Nova Launcher question

Ah... That clears up a lot. Unfortunate as I thought Samsung was one of the leaders in open sourcing their code.

To point 2, the phablet ui was pushed by Google in jellybean. It has nothing to do with the homescreen devs. If you use a tablet ui hack, Nova works fine.

Well, really all a homescreen dev would have to do is allow us to move the the dock and search in portrait, right? I understand that tablet ui moves a few of the menus, etc, but I myself don't care that much about that (maybe I'm alone on this?. The big potatoes for me is the main home ui as I really don't like the dock on the side...
The control moving would be nice, but much lower on my list.

Doesn't ADW EX allow for the tablet-like homescreen option? I know you can put the dock on the bottom as opposed to the side, and the redesigned action bar can be put at the top. Only thing it doesn't do is put system UI in tablet mode.

Hi
Just flashed KatKiss and now I can't find the menu that used to be on the down-right side.
I'm new to Asus so I don't even know what its name.
If it was deliberately removed in the rom, is there a way to get it back? Also, where can I find the Stock weather widget?
Thanks.
Google removed the code for the tablet mode. So, its not possible to make data/other stuff appear on the bottom anymore. Also, that modified menu is probably closed source, so basically, a big no. Everything is on the top now. Scroll down up on the left or right upper corners for them to appear. They separated events and quick menu buttons.
As for widget, you can download it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1956865&d=1368378140
You need to flash a 4.3.x ROM to keep the tablet UI that you are describing, all newer versions have Phablet UI with menus at the top
Hi guys,
I've searched the forum (and Google) for this but can't seem to find an answer to my question.
I've just loaded cm-11-20140625-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin on my HP Touchpad and everything's working A-OK (I did want to post this in the Touchpad/ROM''s forum but I'm a newbie and it looks like I'm not allowed )
The only thing that's driving me nuts is the navigation bar in KitKat, which is centered, and hard to get to when using a tablet (I can see how it makes no difference on a small phone). I'm referring to the very bottom of my first attachment.
The Back button and the other two are too far in the middle to be reachable when holding the tablet in landscape format (and not much better when in portrait) so I'm wondering whether there is a way to change this.
On previous Android versions, these three buttons were on the very left of the screen and so easily reachable without having to let go of the tablet to tap them (see second attachment):
I'm not sure if this is a KitKat thing, or if it's a ROM thing but I would appreciate any help you guys can give me.
Thanks!

Thanks, Primokorn - I checked that thread out but it seems my ROM (CM11) is not working with that UI. Which is a shame since it looks like the perfect solution to my woes!
Any other suggestions, anyone?

Ha ve a look at the index of xposed modules: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/index-xposed-modules-collection-post-t2327541
Maybe another module or a toolbox has this feature.
