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...

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.

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.

Is it possible to change the layout of the keyboard when you write an sms?
It has now the qwerty in normal mode but I would like to have a keypad like on a normal phone(like t9 input mode) when writing sms with the X1(not to use the hardware keyboard)
all wm devices i've come across have been able to use phonepad
which does just what you request
dont see why x1 should not be able to use the same program
as keyboard
or any of the other 3th party onscreen keyboards for that matter
Eww why would you want to use T9 over the hardware keyboard anyway!

Yes it is possible, you should have a small arrow next to the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen, tap on this and then you can select from a variety of keyboards including a T9 one.

No there is no T9 keyboard on the Xperia - just the ordinary and very small WM keyboard
Install TouchPal and you got yourself a nice thumbfriendly T9 keyboard on the Xperia

It was there on the demo version I played with some weeks ago.
You mean that you could select it when you open up the keyboard menu by clicking the little keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen? There is only two options there - Symbol Pad and Keyboard (and then the Options..).

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 ?

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?
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.

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.

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*
