[Q] Calibrate keyboard tool missing

Hello everyone,
I am using a CM6 Rom on my HTC Magic 32B. Trying to access the keyboard calibration tool, which is supposed to be under
locale & text -> touch input
I only have a menu called "Language & Keyboard", in which I can choose
- The Android Stock keyboard
- Better Keyboard (installed)
- HTC_IME mod(installed WITH clicker.apk!!!)
No touch input / calibration there or in any of the submenus.
From what I understand, the clicker.apk is supposed to deliver this feature.
I am currently using the clicker.apk for 1.5 / 1.6,
since the highres version of htc_ime didn't seem to work.
Typing with any of the keyboards without calibration is a pain in the butt,
so any ideas are greatly appreciated

Me too.... same issue. I'm looking for a solution cuz this virtual keyboard sucks.

[Q] Keyboard swapping?

How do i change the keyboard in android? What are the files to replace?
Does anybody know how to replace the Desire HD (sense build: 1.24.405.1) keyboard with the original Desire keyboard that doesnt have all the arrows?
does anybody have any custom keyboards that they want to post in this thread for us to try out?

Download Ultra keyboard. Pay from market.

i like the one from the original desire builds, original sense from froyo.
where would i get that file?

I personally use "smart keyboard pro" love its responsiveness and u can choose between skins and keyboard sounds.."better keyboard" is also a good choice...

If youre using a build with sense and just want the stock android keyboard all you have to do is uninstall the "Touch Input" application. I used an app killer to kill the HTC touch input process and discovered that it killed the HTC keyboard, so after that I just uninstalled it. The stock one is so much better for me, seems more accurate with autocorrect and I can actually hit the keys for once.

Just make sure you copy any file you are about to delete before you delete them, just incase.

I'm using the mattc 1.8 Sense build. Here is an easy way to change the keyboard.
How it's done:
Go to messages and create a new message.
Click in the input field and stay there with your finger at least some seconds.
A popup will appear with the possibility to go to the input method or something like that (sorry, I'm using my build in German )
Here you can choose if you want to have the Sense or the original Android keyboard layout.
Edit: Sorry if it isn't what you were asking for, I'm not sure.

Kingdom RSL1.1 HTC KEYBOARD BUILT IN SWYPE?!?!

I am on Kingdom Stock 3.0 Sense RSL1.1 and I was dragging my finger across the keyboard and wala! It swyped....did HTC make It's own swype style keyboard? Or? I don't have swype anywhere on my phone. So did HTC include swype style input on their sense 3.0 keyboard or am I insane? Its pretty sweet...

haha yea they did its called htc trace

Radical man

wish we could get a version without the arrow buttons. makes buttons too small.
Trace does work nice though, just tried it. Deleting swype lol!

yea it does work pretty well. I've always liked the idea of swype but hated the landscape keyboard. SlideIT has a good idea thats a slideable switch that toggles slide and abc.

seems like there has to be a way to get rid of those damn arrows. Is there a flashable zip or an APK we can try to mod?

I'm use RLS2 and I don't see that. Did you have to take Trace out?

I'm on RLS2 for Uber kingdom. I tried out trace but I dont think it works as well as swype. 1) When you trace a word then tap on another word (not the original suggestion), it will not automatically add a space when you start tracing the next word 2) there is no easy way to correct words once you've started tracing a new one (swype allowed you to double tap on any word to look up its suggestions) 3) The arrow keys on the stock keyboard make it a lot harder to type on.
I tried installing swype on uber kingdom (I'm using the swype installer that I have saved from titanium backup and downloading the latest swype) but I keep getting an error message saying that my version of swype is configured for another device. I can type on the the swype keyboard but I can't swype on it How did you guys get it to work?

HTC trace,maybe

I've tried RLS 2, 3, and 4... I don't see an HTC Trace option anywhere... am I missing it?
(I am in swype beta, so I'll probably stick with that, but I'd like to try Trace regardless)

I've gotten so used to Swype and all its quirks and know how to get it to do just about anything. I think I'll just stick with it.
Anyone else find that when you reboot your phone you have to un-select Swype and re-select it as input method or it won't recognize any words?

if you could supply an apk, you'd be my hero

[Q] Issues on phisical keyboard with new GB leak

I installed MS2GingerBeta5 and it works like a charm!
But I found a issue with the phisical keyboard. Anyone is having problems when introducing numbers with the ALT + qwerty keys?
It seems that the config is wrong.
And someone knows how to uninstall the rubbish apps?
Thank you guys! my M2 is a qwerty one.

same problem here :/
qwerty too..

would get back if it happens on AZERTY..still flashing looking good so far

also I found other issues:
- Screen orientation not working properly. Only if I open the keyboard it rotates.
- Keyboard backlight doesn't work
thankyou

camera is upside down as well

This is not a GB bug, it's a Rom bug. Actually to fix it replace the /system/usr/keychars with M2 stock rom. I think so...not sure.
@Milestone 2 (Finnaly on Gingerbread!)

rename /system/usr/keychars/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin as umts_jordan-keypad.kcm.bin
rename /system/usr/keylayout/umts_milestone2-keypad.kl as umts_jordan-keypad.kl

I'm using a mix of walter's rom with the /system/lib and build.prop from the latest chinese leak.. and I have no issues at all with keyboard layout or screen rotation sensors..
I'm working on the blur apps to see if I can get the AccountSetup working again

[Q] Is it possible to change keyboard in CM7??

Hi
Is it possible to change keyboard in CM7 to phone keypad ??
it is really difficult to send message with its default keyboard...
tnx

Yes of course you can,just download one from market then go into language and keyboard settings and enable it. Then bring your keyboard up and long press on text screen and change imput method to new keyboard.
Alternative is to remove latin.ime from system apps and replace with other keyboard.
Big buttons keyboard is quite good, used it for a while but stock is more responsive and the new ics keyboard posted in apps and themes thread is awsome.
