I have a 20 key HTC Touch Dual 850 and was wondering if a app was available where you can have an apple style on screen keyboard. There is a thread where a 16 key has this style keyboard popping up. Please see link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=79365&d=1207314335
Any help on this would be great!!!

I tried the pocketcm keyboard and liked it alot. However, It mad writing sms much harder. I swap between swedish and english quite alot and the skortcut key didn't work after installation of pocketcm. So I had to remove their keyboard to get this feature back.

TouchPal just came up with a new version that I believe you can switch between different languages with ease. I only use english so have never tried, but it's supposed to be pretty nice.

Hi I'm a little disappointed with the keyboard on the HD even with Gsen the keys are quite small and I find myself having to use my nails.
I did a little googling and found PCM Keyboard which does what the iPhone does and highlights the key before you press it.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on the HD - I was wondering if anyone has got this to work or found a similar program?
Probably you just need the correct skin, try there http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?14,10615
Try this SPB Full Screen Keyboard.

This works perfectly and increases the keyboard size to fit the whole screen and give iphone like feedback on which key you are hitting - you are a legend!

Has anyone managed to get the Greek layout to work properly. I cannot get Greek letters to show on the keyboard.

Can you please post a picture of the HD while writing in landscape with the PCM Keyboard to see what is left of the screen?

Of course it works but you need a WVGA skin

Just wanted to let you know that the new .23 version has a lot more, much nicer features that you can use.
I have also developed a theme for .23 for the HD. It can be found in the blackstone themes subforum, as well as on pocketcm.com
Hi All,
I am sure I am not the only one to find that the keyboard SIP on the X1 is too small.
Can anyone recommend a larger keyboard to work in verticle mode ? I am hopping to be able to use my fingers to do the typing instead of pulling the stylus out everytime. Something like the size of the Iphone keyboard or the Samsung Omnia keyboard would be perfect. I also like the short "vibrate" feedback feel when you type. Anyone feeling the same ?

Additionally to the probably not quite legal copy of the HD's keyboard, there'd be also solutions like PCM keyboard (VGA skin required!), TouchPal, SPB Keyboard, and so on...

If you try PCM Keyboard then you must not choose VGA but WVGA skin
FingerKeyboard2. It's amazing and should probably be on every touchscreen phone in the world.

The letters on the diamond keyboard i installed used to be in bold, now they look thin and ugly after a soft reset for some reason, how to change it back?

I agree. Better than the new SE keyboard if you don't use XT9.
I second that. FingerKeyboard is the best by far. Lots of different layout are already available, but it takes you a few minutes to customize it the way you like it.

I am looking for keyboard with normal phone keypad instead of the QWERTY or Full QWERTY keyboard?
Any besides the Touch HD Keyboard and original X1 ROM R3A keyboard?
Any reason this 5-month old thread got ressurrected?
I always use the full keyboard with the stylus, and the compact one with my fingers. Maybe somebody could develop an app that changes the keyboard layout on the stylus event?
Cheers...

Try butler. You'll need to change the unique IDs for each of the keyboards, but it should do what you want.
Ahh... I didn't find that one in my search...
Alternative
Here you have
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414422
Look in some page I dont remember there are a cab to install it. Then change the keyboard that you want in the registry, Normally I use full Qwerty with the stylus in, and keyboard with the stylus out.
Sorry for my english

I use that SIP changer too, works like a charm!
Ok so first off.. Ive seen a few keyboard mods but nothing great.
My first complaint. Why in the world did they put a T9/ABC toggle switch right under the letter A?? Maaan its complete hell! I hate it with a purple passion!
has anyone hid it or put it away in a pop-up menu where it belongs??
second... has anyone gotten rid off the freakin UP/DOWN, LEFT/RIGHT arrows??
They do more bad then good.. always hitting them by accident and its a pain like no other..
Has anyone removed those as well? With them gone you can actually have less screen real estate taken as well..
I really hope someone on here looks into this.. I would do it but i dont know how :/
on another note.. or question.. does lowering the screen sensitivity help with the keyboard?? anyone have experience with this?
Try some other keyboards. Fingerkeyboard is popular, as is swype.

Yes, deffinitely, the first thing I do when i reflash/hard reset is apply screen desensitivity tweak. Most people will say teh same.
I already tried that keyboard and it sux too. so nothing really can be done about it? is there a way to mod the keyboard to get rid of that toggle switch and arrows?
Use the compact qwerty, it's a lot easier to type on it.
Other suggestions...
Swype, SlideIT, or ShapeWriter.
Otherwise, you could SKIN the Swype keyboard with the HTC design... that way the keyboard layout isn't so unusual.
I prefer using the HTC keypad in FULL QWERTY form, and ABC, versus T9.
Plus, I've altered the "wait time" or responsiveness for key taps. It's set to 375 by default, but a little registry tweak... and now mine is 100. So the keys respond instantaneously.

Doesn't sipchange allow you to do the same thing. A little warning to all. If you install sipchange to your phone you'll never be able to completely erase it.

Where is that tweak? Is it in BsB or is it a reg edit?

I don't and haven't used SIPChange, but that tweak I mentioned is a registry edit that I did myself. But yes, there are threads in the HTC LEO section that discuss the exact directory values you must change to achieve this result.
Yup, I searched AFTER I asked lol. Found it, will try it later, thanks.
I feel the SAME exact way as the OP, I hate the arrows for the same reasons... I have tried several keyboards with multiple issues....(EzInput which had the layout I was looking for, then fbkeyboard i think is the name? ...then roscos keyboard, then another I forgot the name of ) and now finaly I am stuck trying to use the swype keyboard, which imo works better than stock but its negligable and I just wish that EzInput worked correct for me =\
can i pay someone to fix this??
i would gladly do it.
The Swype Layout looks Great... did anyone skin the Swype over the HTC Layout?

I was thinking the same thing yesterday when I was first trying out swype. The layout is the best I have seen for an onscreen keyboard IMO, and if someone could create a skin for the stock keyboard that would be fantastic!
The keyboard on the energy rom is real nice, gives space between the letters and lessens mistakes by 1000%. Would be cool if you could import that keyboard into the stock rom, but I'm lovin energy so far so Ill just stick with it.
I would pay someone to skin a iphone keyboard onto the stock HTC keyboard. *HINT HINT*
Are there GOOD alternative keyboards for the HD2 without the arrows to the right of the keyboard, I really hate them?
use SWYPE. I love that . . .
I have tried Various Keyboards and i keep going back to Swype. Once you use it for a bit i think you will agree it's probably the best Keyboard out right now.
I don't really like Swype, I much prefer to actually press and not drag. Thanks though but anymore suggestions?
Take a look at FingerKeyboard2, it's really a good one.
i've used fingerbeyboard2 for a while, the options and customisation of it is great, plus if you change fonts on your HD2 this keyboard font changes too..
Really cool highly recommended,
yeah swype is still amazing...
badly, it doesnt save any pw's for me....
only help was performing a hard reset....

Thanks guys I'll check it out.
anyone know where i can get the old style keyboard that has ctrl, alt, tab and caps buttons?
i kinda liked using the keyboard shortcuts
i cannot get fingerkeyboard to install on my stock 1.66 hd2. receive error message after cab install to main memory "unzuccessful". any ideas?
fingerKeyboard isnt so good on HD2. It has some known bugs, also it is VERY slow on HD2.
If You are used to fast writing then You will have a lot of problems with it .
Thats why im actually on stock keyboard, it is not so bad in fact

True, but the original keyboard does not support enough languages. So, if you need some specific layout, you don't have many choices and FingerKeyboard does the job.

yep, right, but as i said, fingerKeybord is buggy on HD2, sad but true.
im using it only when i have to use CTRL + C, V, X, and so on
normally im using stock keyboard.
Thanks you answered my main question : why the hell did they remove ctrl, alt and other useful keys like Esc ?
I'll give a try to Fingerkeyboard

Just installed fingerkeyboard 2.1 and works like a charm much less typos than original keyboard I must say, but it seems there's no option for full screen keyboard like Spb Keyboard or does it? Anyhow each one (HTC/Finger/Spb) has it's own benefit for different applications.
I like Swype and SlideIT (most dont like it at first but with practice, its by far faster as its becoming stock software for many phones like Omnia now etc).
Anyway if your a pressing vs sliding person, i prefer Touchpal. Works like a charm, many nice skins for it, very easy to type with, accurate blah blah. Ive tried many pressing keyboards and found this the best, v4.0 is for the HD2, not 3.5
