Default input method?

Is it possible to set the default input method? It's really annoying when the Phone Pad pops up when i only use the keyboard. In several programs the little triangle for changing input doesn't show up either.

Yes, it's somewhere in the registry...
Personnaly I use Pocket Tweak (http://tillanosoft.com) to modify it...

Installed and fixed. Thanks!

how to change default input method?

Keyboard is default on-screen input method but i'd like to change it to Phone Pad. i tried to change option in Settings -> Input Method but after switching off&on (soft reset) Keyboard is coming back as default. is there any way to change it?

PLEASE READ THE BELOW POSTS - THANK YOU!
Code:
for Changing the Default SIP
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP
"DefaulfIM" <- Change the value of this depends on SIP DestID(can be found in CLSID look for the Key with "IsSIPInputMethod" Subkey)
example: (Dont use this search for the SIP DestID in your device sometimes it differ in different device)
Keyboard -> {42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
Block Recognizer -> {42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
Letter Recognizer -> {42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
Phone Pad -> {51A2CB38-154E-4C92-A625-A83871C99EC2}

it works! thanks

ouch
Hi, i tried this (change default to transcriber) and it caused my xda mini s to hang on O2 boot screen requiring a hard reset. Any idea what i did wrong??

I'm afraid this hack is quite a bit of "at your own risk" - there have been many reports of users using either...
A. a non-existing ClassID (never use the ones given, always try to find the one that actually exists on your device)
B. a SIP that doesn't initialize properly when running in boot mode
Specifically, for Transcriber, you apparently can't do this. I'll remove it from my post, it was only quoting another wiki, but in the WM5_Tweaks_Other wiki the following is noted:
The |SIP ClassID| will depend on the SIP's ClassID, which may vary per-device. You can find the correct ClassID by searching for "IsSIPInputMethod" in HKCR, then going to the top key and checking the name of the SIP that's in the (Default) value.
Please note that this doesn't work with all SIPs. Transcriber/Calligrapher are two examples of this.
You can, however, set Transcriber as the default SIP by starting Transcriber.exe on startup. (This should be moved to, or added to, non-registry Tweaks page)
WARNING: Do not assume that the below ClassIDs would be -as found- on your device! Setting it to a non-existant SIP may prevent your device from booting up!

Try the SKTools it has a simple tweak for changing the default method.

Possible to Set Default Data Input Method?

I'm looking for a way to make the Letter Recognizer the default data input method (instead of the On Screen Keyboard). It seems as if I'm soft-resetting my device at least once a day, and reselecting which data input method I want to use is a task I'd like to eliminate.
Also, is there any way to disable the currently selected input method from popping up automatically when text controls have the focus?
I'm assuming both can be accomplished by changing a setting in the registry.
Thanks,

default keyboard

any one know how to change the default keyboard on an alltel touch(vogue)?

SIP Change

wow abe you really get around. I appreciate all your help. I dont understand what a sip is though. i installed the resco keyboard and there was an option to set it as default, now i want the 2manyphones pcm keyboard to be my default but I cant figure out how to change it. And I cant uninstall it cause it always says its in use. once again I need the kings knowledge! thx man

did you try switching to a different keyboard before uninstalling?

ya it still says theres a sharing issue and it cant be uninstalled

Make sure under all settings for each keyboard, that it's not set as default, if it has that option. Then open SIP change and set it to whatever one you want as default, with about a 15 second delay time, and after a soft reset, you should be fine.
SIP = Soft Input Panel or Secondary Input Panel

keyboard problems?

just recieved my replacement hd so got all the fun of setting it up again lucky me, so nothing changed from the default programs, my problem is i cant change the keyboard over to something more useful like keyboard instead of the default setting
of phone keyboard any ideas how to resolve this.

Maybe you just don't have any other SIPs installed?
If you want to change the default keyboard, take a look at the registry setting for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]. "DefaultIm" specifies the default SIP. But be very careful with this, a wrong value here can prevent your device from booting.
You can find valid SIPs but searching the registry for IsSIPInputMethod

ok found [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]. "DefaultIm" dosnt mean alot to me to be honest but havnt been able to locate the IsSIPInputMethod within the regisrty so far and when i do what doi do to change the default keyboard settins?
