I am looking to see if there is a cab file that will put the iphone key board..
I all ready have the touch pal and dont really like it i want the one that one letter per key on screen..
anyone there have it????
I think the main problem is that the iphone screen is slightly bigger, so you're less likely to hit the wrong key.
You can get one using a pocketcm keyboard skin though (check their forums)

Does anyone know if i can replace my dial pad that comes up when you hit the call button? The keys in the windows one are too small! I want something nice and big that's easy to use. ... maybe something that looks along the line of the iphone one. Reckon it must be a software update as opposed to skin!
hi, i have an idea that when merged with ur development skills may result in such a good keyboard, the idea is about a fullscreen keyboard just like spb keyboard but with a small addition that to be a transparent keyboard, take a look at the attached image, as u can see every button is one character just to make it easy as possible for pressing, i meant by the SP buttons that they r special buttons just like space, enter or they can be like TouchPal special buttons may be for numbers or special characters or an exit(hide) button and so on.
now i believe that it appears in the image that some of the characters is not clear because it is over another layer but dont forget that am poor with design so may be a good designer can give the characters a better effect to give clear image than the emboss effect i used in the image, may be a negative effect or something, even for the character square-background there is no need for it i just set it to show the character borders.
so developers i hope this can take place one day, and i hope from any graphic designer to take a screen shot from a mobile screen then try to add the characters layer with most possible clearance what ever is the background layer and then post here to see the result, thnx anyway ....
what if you make a mistake when typing and notice it at the end? how are you going to travel through the message as normally you will click where you want to put the cursor however when you click on yours it'll write a letter?
mmmm i didnt notice this, u r right, what about about pressing a special button which shows up/down/left/right transparent buttons with backspace/delete buttons just like touchpal?? so we have a new idea here that to give the keyboard all the control on a text, what do u think ??
I like the idea but another problem is how to make it qwerty-like in portrait mode?
I mean the limiting factor is the horizontal size of buttons (qwerty in portrait) not their height.
Applogies first, this is the extent of my artistic skills lol
if you based it on the hermes keyboard you can have ten keys on each row, so that would give each key a width of 32, and if you make the height of the key 40 that would give you a keyboard of 10 by 5, but u only need 10 by 4
im not sure if its workable but ill add the worst keyboard youve ever seen so you get the ideal
You are truly an artist! Teach me, master!
But that's in landscape (which is not a problem), what about portrait mode?
Really should just give TouchPal a go... I find that better than any hardware or virtual keyboard you can get...
actually am using TouchPal and it is my best keyboard and i believe that if windows mobile devices has a very sensitive touch screen just like the iPhone then i can say that TouchPal will be the best all the time, but with my htc touch i still have a problem with touchpal when i want to enter such words like password/email (without predicate) specially when sliding left/right, any way it was an idea ....

A friend and I are looking to buy HD2s when they're released in the CDMA version, but a big concern of ours in the quality of the onscreen keyboard.
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 at the moment, and he has a Samsung Omnia, and one of his main points-of-jealousy is my hardware keyboard.
I'm hoping the screen size will make an onscreen keyboard more bearable, but...
So, could anyone post comments about the keyboard, and/or post screenshots of the onscreen keyboard in both vertical and horizontal configurations.
I'm really hoping the onscreen keyboard is the same as the HTC HD2s...only larger...
Nothing will replace hard keyboard. TP2 is the best so far. Go youtube to review the HD2 virtual keyboard.
If you are fimiliar with TP2 keyboard, you will highly hate the HD2 keyboard. Even Swype or TouchPal Pro are not that perfect yet...

The keyboard is hit or miss, but if you did a poll on here, you'd get people mostly saying it's a hit!
I personally love it, but it did take me a while to get used to it. Also, going through the screen alignment process helps, as it gets the screen aligned to how you use it (as long as you do it in a natural manner, with your thumbs, and not using your finger as a stylus. Who uses their phone like that?? )
If you read the forums, you'll see there's some people that don't like the keyboard, but there's also a lot that originally didn't but have got over it. It needs a little practice, but I can type very fast on it now that I'm used to it.
Anyway, here's a couple of screenshots. Hope this has helped
I Didint wanna start a new topic, so i will borrow this one
I saw someplace in my phone that you could change to 3 Keyboard modes, Regular phone keyboard, and full keybord and a nother one!
Now i cant find that anywhere!
I wanna use the "Regular" phone keyboard type .. Any one can help here ?

Not sure if this helps but just open a SMS, at the bottom you will see the symbol for your input. Tap it once and a small arrow appears to the right, now tap the symbol again but slightly to the right (ie/ tapping the arrow) and you will see QWERTY with an arrow allowing you to choose phone keypad or qwerty.
both arent bad and the predictive input is clever but i personally prefer Touchpal, i find it more responsive and fast (it keeps up with fast keystroke entry).
Thanks for the replay, i found the arrow after more searching in google! it was stupid of me that i didnt tap that! lol
i did tap the hole keyboard icon insted!
Now i can type much easyer
I used touchpro 1 before using HD2, still finding typing with hardware keyboard faster. Especially if you disable auto complete,word correction.
but I still love my HD2.
I have an energy rom. Would you happen to know how to switch back to the way the original keypad looked before the 1.8 client?
I enjoyed the X1's HW keyboard, but I must say, within a few days of using the HD2, I don't miss it.
Dear developers,
Any attempt to develop the keyboard arrows at HTC HD2 to get rid of the traditional directive arrows.
Iphone 3gs uses magnifying touch where you can locate letters to edit..
Any solution to develop such a cab file or else..

AJS
I like the arrow's, but in landscape mode they get in my way. I wish the keyboard was centered and the arrow's location was elsewhere.
lol i freaking love the Arrows! and u want to get rid of 'em!!
so much more convenient, easy and faster compared to the iphone, where i had to tap and hold to zoom in and make sure my hands don't shake or it'll go to the wrong letter and then i gotta do it again...
i like the arrows but i would love them to be a bit bigger. Can this be tuned? Especially the backspace button is too small!

Thank you for the advice to buy iphone. I had one 3gs 32gb and I sold after I discovered that it is not as good as windows mobile system.
I would buy again if the device is combine the basic features that you can see in the cheapest devices in the market
regards

Although the directional arrows are convenient, I agree with you dude, the directional arrows on the HD2 get in my way, I am always touching the back arrow instead of the space bar resulting in running words together. Having them also bunchs the keys closer together making the keyboard shorter than the iPhone keyboard thus making typing less accurate IMHO.
same thing happen with me, always touching the back arrow.. hate the arrows on hd2 keyboard.
try to get another keyboard such as touchpal but its not responsive like the original one.
try ezInput, make my HD2 crashed cannot go to window screen and all the hspl reset automatically, lucky I still can HardReset it.
Anyone know if it's possible to tweak the qwerty keyboard? I'm coming over from a TP2 and I like the builtin KB that HTC provides, and it should be even nicer on the larger screen, but it's not as handy as it could be. There are extra, blank keys on the 2/2 Numeric pad and I'm wondering if it's possible to add some keys. For instance it would be very handy to have a space key in the numeric pads.
I just upgraded from a TYTN II and i do miss the physical keyboard and i'm not too crazy over the software keyboard mainly because i don't get the tactile feel of pressing the keys.
But have you tried the Swype ? Needs a little getting used to but i'm getting pretty good with Swype and i feel it's a lot faster than typing. Plus it looks pretty cool
Ther are other keyboards. Sorry, I don't recall their name. One was very customizable though. I tired two different ones, but they didn't play nice with predictive text.
I have Resco and I like it well enough, though the version I have doesn't seem to have been built for 800x480 so it doesn't use all of the screen real estate. Therefore the keys are too small.
I like the HTC QWERTY keyboard a lot. It just doesn't seem to be customizable and therefore one has to switch between the screens more than it might otherwise be necessary in order to get the keys you're after. All I really want to do is to be able to enter a space while on the numeric screen. Not move the cursor, but to add an actual space. And to swap a couple of the characters on the 1/2 screen with others on the ABC and 2/2 screens.
Other than that I think it's a great keyboard. The haptic for me provides enough feedback and the keys are plenty big enough. My Leo should be here today or tomorrow and then I can start trying different things. If it turns out Resco's current KB can be made larger then that would probably be just the ticket assuming the HTC KB cannot be customized. I'm not really interested in tryiing Swype, but thanks for the tip.
I would imagine there's an XML keymap somewhere that we could conceivably edit but I'm not sure, i'd like to know the answer as well.
