Greetings from a little country in the middle of Europe
I ‘went to flash my Touch HD, with the Topaz ROM, in order to get a new TF3D that has landscape support. All works fine. But as I also like to use Putty for Telnet and SSH sessions, I'm in need of a full QWERTY Keyboard in order to have ESC and CTRL buttons.
Unlikely, this ROM doesn't have the stock HTC Keyboard, I want to have.
As Finger keyboard is not the solution I aim for, could someone please provide me a CAB file of the original HTC keyboard?
All help is highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Yves
I think there is an old HTC keyboard here - post #3 (not sure if it's the one you want though):

Im loving the ameo and the gorgeous vga screen especially when i use the truevga program.
Just have 1 wish.
Is there anyway to get the onscreen keyboard, when using truevga, to be the same size n scale as when its set to its biggest setting without truevga?
I love typing using the onscreen keyboard especially using my fingers (getting the hang of it, hehe) as i find the add on hardware keyboard a pain to use, never seems to keep up, misses letters out etc. I never carry it about with me, and i get more and more frustrated the more i use it.
Any help would be spot on and appreciated. Cheers. (apologies if this is covered ianother topic, i searched but couldnt find any answers)
Many thanks
Have you tried Resco Keyboard? From what I remember it works perfectly in VGA. Worth a try!
Yup, Resco keyboard is perfect for truevga mode, although I hardly ever use the onscreen keys anymore.
More importantly, is there a *proper* dialpad skin for truevga mode? I have tried some hacks (vjbigphone, some hacks from China that modifies 2 dll files) and I'm left with a feeling of "what were they thinking at microsoft allowing only 240x320?".
Thats the chappy!
Thanks alot, resco keyboard is spot on, just what i was looking for.
You never know maybe Microsoft will get it right and include things like, VGA Support in their next os? hehe!
Thanks again
Can you guys post a screenshot of how Resco Keyboard looks in VGA mode?
Edit: Thanks and never mind. Going to install the trial now.

You could also use HappyTapping Keyboard posted here in the forum. Comes with various skins.
SBS Keyboard...hmmmm full screen.
Resco Keyboard was ok but ive found the because of the number keys being across the top, the keys are actually smaller than the without TrueVGA standard display keyboard with the bigger keys.
I am however having a play with this http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/fsk/screenshots.html?en
Its not too bad, full screen so is easy to type, im not sure if its won me round yet, altho the price is pretty good $9.99!
Its ok for texting, and i havent really tried it with anything else, with things like excel tho i can see it possibly being a problem as it does take up the full screen and transfers the text across in a big chunk.
I like the idea tho.
See what you think!
I tried out Resco Keyboard. It is a good QWERT keyboard. But later I found another which is way way better. It's also a QWERT keyboard but you need not type at the exact location of the key. It group all the 26 letters into 6 grouping. As long as you touch the grouping it will give you the right word 95 % of the time. 5% of the time you may have to choose the other "hint words" which could be formed with those grouping. Of course if you type it like the way you use normal keyboard, which is to exactly touch one of the tiny 26 keys, it will give you exactly what you want like normal keyboard without the need to choose from the hint word.
It supporst VGA. There are a few different versions, some allowing you to use yout thumb to type. In all case, I was able to do very fast typing without the stylus on VGA screen.
The free version can be downloaded here: www.free.tengo.net
The various commercial versions here: www.tengo.net
Enjoy
thanks eaglesteve i will look into it. to be honest ive gone back to the standard non vga setting now using the bigger setting on the standard screen keyboard as to me its the easiest most natural way to type and is the least frustrating!
altho if there was a way of having the non vga bigger keyboard in truevga then id be happier! hehe. cheers guys.

Hi Tomchap,
No, there is no need to go back to QVGA if small keyboard is your only concern. I had the same reaction as you when I first went VGA.
VGA or QVGA aside, having to press at the PRECISE location of each of the keys is a mistake prone and stressful. That's why TenGO is good.
Tell me what you think after you've tried it.
Cheers
Thanks for the recommendations, im currently trialing Tengo Free, and its a bit of a learning curve but im going to stick at it. From initial first impressions I would still have to say that I prefer the Large Keys Keyboard Configuration of the standard VGA keyboard at the moment but will see how i get on.
I really want to like the VGA mode so will see.
If there was some kind of halfscreen keyboard that looks just like the Large Key standard keyboard then that would be spot on.
Thanks for all your help so far.

I tried this on my Athena but it didn't work. Did you install both CABs on your Athena or only the first?
I keep trying to switch to the new keyboard but it never shows up. I always get the default. Did you run into this?
Same Problem
I get the same thing, Ive installed everything as stated, copied the relevant BMP files across to My documents but it doesnt seem to work.
I find that when you click on HAPPYTAPPINGKEYBOARD and then OPTIONS it seems to be looking on the MICRODRIVE instead as if you select MYDOCUMENTS nothing is displayed?
Will keep looking at the forums and see what i can find out. The files are there, just doesnt appear that the programs looking at them.
Best one I found
Try dynatype keyboard. I was looking for a keyboard for vga and qvga and had tried all mentioned here. a few minutes with dynatype and I went to purchase it!. The free trial option is very annoying as it keeps asking you to buy the keyboard so know this in advance.
The options this keyboard has is fantastic! Try it and look at the options, play with it setting the keyboard to how YOU like it. Its very very nice. You can buy it at pocketgear.com or handango.

That is how the full screen keyboard on my Nokia N800 works, and it works great. Using both thumbs, I can almost type as fast as with a hardware keyboard, with very few mistakes.
On my Athena WM5 Dutch I am not able to activate a third party onscreen keyboard.
I remember having seen something about that but could not find the thread. Is there a problem with these type of keyboards and WM5?

I was actually looking at Fingertouch
http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=fingertouch [/url],
It seems a very good product (for the money) but the PocketCM seems more suitable for my needs.
FingerTouch and HappyTapping...
Well ive been using fingertouch for a few days now and I have to say I think its the best one so far. Apart from the DELETE or BACKSPACE key bein next to the F OFF (oeer is that trying to tell me something, hehe!) Key once you get used to that its fine.
I really rate this keyboard and I can type pretty quick on it. HappyTappingKeyboard is also very good, these are the keyboards I use the most.
Thanks for all your help guys, and any more keyboards that you discover, post here!
Cheers

Try also Tengo Thumb and Tengo 2.1 instead of free Tengo. Tengo2.1 offers 3 options, one of which is the regular standard keyboard.
Tengo Thumb is very easy to use with the Thumb, if you do not mind the screen being more covered up by the keyboard. I am able to type very fast with my Thmub on Tengo2.1 but if you have very big finger this may be more difficult.
Haven't found a thread on this anywhere else.
Has anyone tried the HappyTapping keyboard on the Cruise and can confirm it's compatibility and usability on this HTC model?
Advice much appreciated, don't really like any of the inclded keybaords.
iPhone keyboard...hmm... IMHO it will never work on WM devices.
But if You want keyboard with "pop-up" letters, may be You should try PocketCM keyboard - http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard.php
Also give Cootek TouchPal a try I am sure you will like it.
Resco Keyboard includes an Iphone keyboard and it works great (I know it's commercial but...)

I like this one the most..tryed the other ones and this one is the best at the moment.
Also im from the netherlands and it supports a dutch language pack.
is there any keyboard with 'responce'? a sork of vibrating or sth else which vividly shows you have actually pressed it?
The keyboard (virtual) on my Wing is the one that I use and like. I want the 4 rows of keys like a normal keyboard. Meaning, 123.... top row, then qwerty next 3 rows. I don't like the ones that are ABC or 123. I also like the way my words are saved and stored for quick recognition. Where is this keyboard located in the Wing? I would like to copy it and the Dictionary to another phone.
I have tried all the other keyboards such as SPB, Rescoe, Interkey, etc., and do not like them.
Thank you!
I dont know how or where to get the stock htc keyboard you are looking for but I did want to make a recomendation, have you tried "BJK HTC EzInput Full Keyboard?" if i am not mistaken its what the latest htc models are rolling out with. Search this forum for it and give it a try all you do is download and install the cab for the keyboard and then the language cab and your set to go.

Uhum there is a tool called FingerKeybord, That has almost all Language in it, and u can install it on you're phone,... that you have russian input (for messaging and i-net and other stuff )...
i hope it will help
Excellent, will give it a try. Thanks.
No Problem
Russian keybord
I also need russian keyboard.
I tried a lot of external keyboards, but I don't really like them.
I have got [Dutty's WM6.5 R7 M2.5 Thriller] and there a new Manila 2.5 present.
Does anybody have .cab with new Manila russian keyboard?
P.S. I have been looking through the forum, but haven't find any.
Thanks.
still seeking for an original keyboard for blackstone...
Had anyone found a genuine russian HTC full qwerty keyboard? can you share a cab?
Also used to have EZinput 2.1 on my Diamond with a nice EN/RU switch on a button... i miss that keyboard very much..
I am using the latest ENERGY rom on my blackstone. Tried all sorts of keyboards including FKB - didn't like it.. I am now surviving with a ru-en swype...
Hey
i saw in the big MUST HAVE thread that it is posible to instal swype on my PRO2. but the link there wasn't working it give's that the file was deleted does anyone know how to get swype on my PRO2
Gr
Is this what your looking for?
Heres a cab I have. For some reason though it will not change from the default one to the swype keyboard until you complete the tutorial. If you try to just switch it to the swype keyboard, it will just show the default one. So you have to do the tutorial. This "glitch" also applies to the swype that is cooked into a rom (like mine). If anyone knows a work around feel free to pitch in but I think its a minor inconvenience considering how great it is. It also does require some training for swype to work efficiently. Any more questions feel free to ask.
yes this is where i was looking for.
but i got one problem it give's me a error wrong land im in it sais "open of EnglishUS failded!" so do u have 1 for another area (im living in the Neterhlands in europe).
thnx alot already
GR
Unfortunately I don't have one. Maybe someone else can contribute to this thread & offer you some help. Hopefully someone with more experience (a chef, ect.) can help you. Sorry.
Try this one out.
thnx but also this program is not working i got the same error
View attachment Swype.cab
This is what i have on my stock t mobile touch pro 2 running windows 6.5 it appears to be the same size as the other two but hey worth a shot.
All of those cab are from the Samsung Omnia.. here's the one that works! it came with TMo HD2 with a matching HTC skin. works great with my Tilt 2

No Tutorial
This is the version of Swype I've been using. Used it for a while now.
No tutorial needed, so there's that. It may be an older version, I don't know.
All I know is I haven't had to do a tutorial.
On NON-WWE ROMs you have to move the swype folder from your locale program files folder to /Program Files/.

Wow, I'm overwhelmed by how many cabs are posted by users. Are there any differences in the versions? Which is the latest version?

I've just uninstalled some of Livven's SimpleGloss themes thinking the sudden freezes were the problem on my Rhodium (touch pro 2). The only thing left to uninstall since the last issues is the Swype keyboard. Anyone else having issues?
This is so sad because I was really enjoying Swype. It made email writing so much easier.
