OK, thought I'd try Sammy keyboard rather than my usual Microsoft one. Where on earth do I find emoji and can I have a button for them on my keyboard... I use them a lot.
Should be a smiley face where it says ENTER MESSAGE. Click it and it should open a toolbar with any and all emojis available. You can remap a button, but then you lose that button.

I recently started using shapewriter on my Nexus one. Not really sure why it gets a bad wrap since after I got used to it, I can type about twice as fast with fewer errors as using a regular soft keyboard or keyboard replacement which was welcome since I lost my HW G1 keyboard switching to Nexus. And hell it's free and legal. But I had a couple of quick questions in case anybody else on here uses it.
1. Sometimes I want to use the regular android keyboard for apps like terminal, is there a menu key to let me switch to the android keyboard. On the regular keyboard it's just hold down 123 button and switch inputs. I can't seem to find an equivalent in shapewriter unless I go back to the android settings page and shutoff shapewriter manually in there.
2. anyway to set a gesture to launch the voice input stuff since there isn't a voice input shortcut on the keyboard.
Thanks!

I'm looking for a keyboard that has the secondary characters over the primary ones as well as the voice input key.
I didn't like shapewriter and better keyboard seems to be missing the voice input keys.
Like the stock keyboard, but hate having to push a seperate key to get numbers and then again for the letters.
To change the keyboard just hold down on the text field until the menu pops up and select input method

That is a very useful tip and almost exactly what I need. The one app that tip doesn't seem to work for is terminal, which is the app I mainly need to switch back to the stock keyboard as it is the only one supported. or perhaps I should find a better terminal program.
Though its not as good as the HTC IME keyboard with a Voice to Text, a Long press on '.' will bring up a menu to select punctuation. I just found this out yesterday.
I hate the keyboard on the EVO i am new to the phone and did not know if there was an app or hack that could change the keyboard. my two main problems are i hate having to press the 123 button to get to the numbers and sym. i came from a palm pre and there was a button that just switched to the sym. for you. and when using in landscape mode and typing you have to click the button to close the keyboard to hit the send, search, ect. button clicking the enter button just adds a new line. makes me want to type on the compact keyboard all the time which defeats the purpose of having the landscape keyboard.
Thanks,

There are lots of different keyboards available in the Market. Look up Smart Keyboard or Better Keyboard for starters.
Anyone know if there's a way, or have any ideas for how to, change the emoticon that the smiley button on the (stock) keyboard produces? I hate the smiley. haha
When I used the landscape keyboard to send an SMS message from my Skyrocket, the default layout of the message composition screen has the "attach" button above the "send" button, meaning I can't directly click send. I either have to go "back" to dispose the keyboard to reveal the "send" button, or carefully scroll the narrow view-port above the keyboard to reveal it.
When I used SwiftKey, I believe it had a button on the keyboard that managed to send the message. But I'm trying to use either stock or the ICS port keyboard since SwiftKey's space-bar was too narrow for my fat thumbs.
Is anyone else plagued by this? Any clever solutions?

Lol....
OP: if in landscape mode, after you type your message, hit the BACK soft button.... that will hide keyboard and show the attach option abovd the send option
I will agree that's annoying as hell. Never noticed it bc I don't type in landscape. Thank god I don't.
In landscape hit done and it will send if i remember right
Where is "Done"?

When I used Swype, it had a "Done" button I believe. But I couldn't handle Swype's narrow spacebar. Why doesn't the stock Android 2.3.5 keyboard have a "Done" button, or the back-ported ICS keyboard (shown above)?
This is so frustrating! Seems like just generally poor designing by samsung. The SGS1 didnt have this issue and a part of me wants to pull the API of the messaging off of my Captivate on to my skyrocket. Does anyone know if this is possible
Hello, i successfully decompiled and changed my punctuation menu, and added custom smiley keys to it.
Now i am trying to have it ALWAYS display the smiley menu, not the smiley key where the enter goes, but when pressing and holding on the action key (whatever it may be) i want it to show the list of smiley faces. But i dont even know what the list of smiley faces is called or where the action for holding the button is.
Any help is appreciated. Need to get my brain rolling again :/
Just an occasional bump
