Hey Guys and Gals,
I am try to build a keyboard case for the blaze and I need any tips or suggestions on how to do it. Such as what type of keyboard and how to actually start. This is going to be like my new project. Thanks in advance!

Like the keyboards that are made for the iPhone? My suggestion is to make it Bluetooth.. Try to open one of the computer keyboards and see if you can make it smaller and similar
Yes, But I would like to know how to implement it like physically,
I was thinking for it to almost be similar to this. http://www.cellphoneshop.net/5keyboard.html?cagpspn=pla&gclid=CKyOzoWTobcCFQ_ZQgod0gIApg
Yes sort of like that. I mean I have the tools I just need the right way starting.

I have no experience in this. You should try to manipulate of how the keyboard is made and then resize it to make it for certain phones like the blaze.
That sounds too complicated. I'm just going to use my imagination

Imagination would work too lol
Sent from my Liquid-AllStar Blaze
really, what you should do is get the case that xWolf posted the link to, disassemble the part that hooks to the iPhony, and draw up a case that actually fits the blaze like a glove in some 3D cad program that will also re-assemble back to the bluetooth keyboard. Then you could find a direct-injection molder who can take your CAD (or whatever 3D program you use) and just make the case. OR you could get a 3D printer to do the job for you for more up-front cost, but cheaper per-unit cost
Dude.. That is way beyond my imagination. I was just going to use a case and a metal scrap mold it and make another case for the keyboard and attach it.

It does not look right bro. My friend's help did not really work out well either. :/
i could try to make a 3D model you could have printed up. what type of BT keyboard do you have? I might be able to make a slider-type thing, phone case with keyboard case that clips on and slides back and forth.
I'm going to buy from online preferably amazon. here is the link

I'm looking for an app that will add typing sounds of some kind while using the hardware keyboard on my G1. I'm coming from a modded, OpenTouch flashed and overclocked HTC Herald/T-Mobile Wing which had the option to add sounds for hardware button presses. I'm a big guy with BIG hands- my two thumbs placed together stretch from the "A" to the "L" on the G1 keyboard. The G1's keys are smaller and don't have the healthy, positive feeling "click" that my old Wing/Herald did, which makes it hard for my big ass thumbs to register if I've depressed the button. I end up backspacing a lot to correct double typed or missed letters. Having sounds would help sooooo much. Even the same sound you can set for screen touches would be perfect.
Does something like this exist? Could an app be made?
~edit~
Just realized I should have posted this in the apps forum....sorry! Move if needed!
hmm good post. I would like to know this as well, would be a great feature addition.
maybe someone can create a sound not when it opens but when ever the screen is rotated?just a thought

no offense, but that wouldn't really help the OP
and it would be a nice feature. god knows how you'd do it though
This would be an absolute must have app for me....I'd pay for it without a second thought.

My hope is that some super secret squirrel developer will see this and whip out the appropriate app and beam to my phone in 3.2 seconds. lol
i was wondering about this also!

Same here.... I was using my buddie's G1 for few min, I had to turn on audible selection. Lack of noise was driving me nuts!!! lol
ttt
10 char
its quite possible to do it. i dont know how though
in the coding, there is a keyboardhidden and keyboardexposed recognization...
we just need to find a dev interested in it
i would like this also!
i love using the on screen keyboard because of all the sounds and the different ones for space and delete and if i could have it on my hard keyboard also i would most definitely pay
You guys know about Haykuros keyboard mod? The one that gives the hard keyboard predictive text? It also gives you key pressing sounds like the VK does.
can you link us to this?
if you use haykuro's HTC IME you can tell it to make typing noises when you click the hardware or software keyboard.

Hope that this helps.
I'm Looking for a company that makes cases or some other way to add a physical keyboard to a phone. I'm currently using n1 but will be switching to sgs2 when it's out in the states. Is there a company that makes something like this? Case that adds bluetooth sliding keyboard or something along those lines? I don't plan to use it all the time, but occasionally it would be really helpful. I heard of something like this for iphone. Thanks for recommendations!
you can download four files and "adb push" them onto the phone or just flash a ROM such as CM. then make sure you're buying a HDI bluetooth keyboard. then probably you need to enter some command into the terminal. so you'd better install a Gscript or other app to avoid entering commands manually.
I have a mini bluetooth keyboard that works fine. With my phone but I'm looking for something that would be able to hold them together. Like a traditional slider does.

Well it would work but I dunno if it would fit... I've been looking for something similar too. I suppose that this one could be "adjusted" to fit if i was happy to stick it on with something but i think to do that i would wanna buy a spare back cover for my N1 and it would look really ugly tbh not to mention that it would cover the camera. But I see where your going and it could be a very good solution for occasional use!
I have a slightly odd list of needs from an android tab and was wondering if the tf700 will meet them;
line in recording of audio
usb for cat5 adapter https://sites.google.com/site/bobjgear/USB-Aapter
optionof decent keyboard dock
rootable
decent screen and manufactor rom updates
im interested in the cat5 especially as i cant use wifi at work, sadly so my options are limited...
thanks for your help and feedback, hows this tab without the keyboard?
cheers, andy

The screen is matched only by the Retina display. Best Android screen on the market. We've had 4 or 5 updates so far, including JB as one of the first non-Google companies.

I have some friends that work for the government and their in the same boat as you. They aren't even allowed to use wireless when their traveling and it's available.
Thanks for this, sounds good. Only thing left to work out is line in then i guess, if someone could test this for me it would be really helpful. Its the last piece of the puzzle i think.
One other question, i take it the only "pairing" the tablet does with the keyboard is just being plugged in? The reason i ask is that if i buy a couple of tablets and keyboards (me and the mrs) can we just swap the keyboards round without any pairing faff?

As far as I know, you can interchange the docks. There's a driver for it installed in Android from the start. There's no personalized settings or anything stored in the dock itself. Plug and Play.

If you are located outside the US in Europe this would be your answer.
If you're a US user then your stuck with the complex USB adapter scenario it seems.
perfect, that actually looks just what im after, simple easy and with cat5 in built. shame it doesnt have line in then it really would be ideal!
edit: just need to find someone that will actually supply it to me now!
So, I bought one of those windowed flip covers, the OnePlus One definitely has the "lock-unlock" functionality when you use a flip cover with a magnet, but I noticed there is no "window view" functionality in CM11 (I am currently running CM11 nightlies).
Is there a way or some kind of mod I can use to enable or mimic the window view thing, something were after pressing the lock button it will display the time and/or notifications?
Thanks.
Haven't seen anything like that for this device, and it might not be likely due to the irregular availability of OnePlus accessories.

Where can we propose for development? This is something that I had with my LG G2 and now that my son has it, I am jealous. HELP!!! If anyone out there has had the chance to play around with it, I am sure that they will attest to it.
I am sure that there are enough people out there with the dimensions of the windows in these cases, so that they can be coded properly.

No one really proposes development. They don't take kindly to requests from the users. If you add a bounty and have other people propose the same then someone may will be willing to tackle to it but it'd be limited to that particular ROM.

The one+ does not have an amoled screen and cannot power on just a portion of the screen. That is why we probably won't see s-view anytime soon.

I have to heard this before, however the LG G2 as far as I know, does not have an AMOLED screen, however they still seem to have a way to pull it off. I'm not well versed enough to understand the "why" of it however there must be more there must be another solution, unless LG is using a similar panel as to that of Samsung's AMOLED panel.

I have no idea what the Spigen case has to do with this. There are many other cases out there with a window or windows integrated. Nillkin is a respected case maker with a windowed case available, even though,from what I heard, it has not been up to par. I purchased a dual window that case that is of very nice quality and I am pretty certain that once the word gets out that there are Roms out there with this integrated functionality there will be many more case makers interested.
Cheers.

Wow!!! I had not seen that case. It seems very nicely built, is definitely something that would be of a great addition to the opo's case lineup. I'm not sure however if we need a third party such as a case builder to design the application. I think we would be better served and would get a greater result, if it were one of our recognized developers who were to take on the task, seeing as our developers have an advanced knowledgeof Android and clockworkmod.

I'm not planning on getting a nexus 9 quite yet, but in case any of you are interested in getting one, you should really consider also getting a stylus for the screen. I use my stylus for everything on there, and this saves me from having to use a screen protector, which makes the display a whole heck of a lot better. I've used a few different styli, and this amPen stylus is pretty good, by my standards. You can even get replacement tips.
Resolution of touch screen ...?
Does anyone know the sensitivity of the digitizer? I would like to use a very fine tip stylus (like the directstylus included with the nvidia shield tablet), but am concerned that often tablet digitizers have lower resolution so it would have trouble picking up the small tip...

This one is not a fine tip, and would not be optimal for drawing or note-taking, but this is a terrific substitute for your fingertip, and leaves no finger prints.
