[CAB] [NOV 24] Raphael keyb. wwe and scandinavian for X1

Just made this as it works best for the x1, bigger letters than the blackstone keyboard, who needs the arrovs when we have the optical joystick
get it here:
here is the new keybord image to fill the screen but still have the larger letter for easy typing, first i made the touch hd layout witout the arrows, but the letters were to small, so this is the best solution so far to still have the large letters for finger friendly typing.
hope this comes to use..

looks the same as HD but without the arrows, and that makes the letters a little bigger and more finger friendly.

well, the problem with using Raphael's keyboard is that at landscape mode, it doesn't stretch fully and create white space on right/left side of the keyboard.
OTOH, I believe this version will enable word completion and name/address prediction when you text using hardware keyboard, am I right?
does it break the symbol and the ascent key? If it doesn't, I'm inclined to install this over the TouchPal that I'm using.

Dont know about the symbol thing, as my x1 is being replaced right now, but i can make a symbol pad cab for the x1 if so.

Nope, I waited for 10 minutes and then it went "This program could not be completely removed." Ant it's still there, and my AU key still doesn't work. What should I do?

Nope, there's no swedish option there.

Any advice, please? This cab won't uninstall, how can I remove it manually or at least make the AU key work again?

I can't uninstall this as well. Any ideas?

Just made a hard reset after killing the phone trying to uninstall this thing. Anyone who don't want to waste time restoring your data or to be stuck with an unfunctional AE button, do yourself a favor and don't install this.

Same here, can't uninstall, now I am stuck with a crappy keyboard that doesn't work due to unfinished uninstall. I even tried SKTools and it didn't work. Now I need to find a way to uninstall it.
don't install this software (at least till it has a working uninstaller)
Update: I just did a hard reset for the phone to get rid of this software. Now I am installing everything from the beginning. The guy who did this is not even showing a sign of life to help us out :S.

I like the essence of this keyboard, but it still needs a bit of tweaking. The landscape mode is broken too, though that isn't a big problem for me, as I use the HW keyboard in landscape anyway.
Will this ever be updated, smaberg? (Will send PM for it.)

Ah, okay. Can you point us towards those threads? There's a lot of clutter when I search for it myself. (As the words "raphael" and "keyboard" are often combined in threads.)

Widnows Mobile Tooltip Replacement

Hello,
First of all, I hope am posting in the correct location. Anyways, in windows mobile, we receive different tooltips, ex: call summary report from the provider, credit report, and many others, the ones am talking about are the tooltips that appear on the top right corner of the screen.
These tooltips are so annoying since the buttons they carry are totally not finger friendly. After using "Yota Phone" on my HTC Touch Pro, i noticed that they mapped/changed the default tooltips with the title "PHONE" with their own nice finger friendly one.
Is there any program that does such a thing? searched a lot and couldn't find any. If nobody knows a program that does this, can someone tell me what are the commands/code of those functions/events? maybe i would do a small application for that one.
Thank you

Find me a cure, please doc?
This is an awesome idea!!! I too am suffering from sausage fingers syndrome

I'm not exactly sure how this could be done but I there is another application on XDA that changes the way our Context Menus look. He does is via dll injection and my guess is that that is how to do this also.

This would be awesome, I hate those little popups as well!!!! Maybe you could ask francarl (creator of FingerMenu), your idea sounds similar to what he did.

thank you m.schmidler. I was thinking about how to replace standard tooltip. It will be very useful if someone finds which is the Win32 API (if exists) that opens the tooltip!

I would totally use this! Anyone wanna pick this up?

Great to see you guys interested in this idea, but wish someone could actually implement it. If only creators of "Yota Phone" would reply. Since they successfully changed the "Phone" tooltip.
If only they share the knowledge. already posted a question regarding this matter on their thread, but no replies on that so far.

I will look into this as soon as I get some time. I'm working on wFacebook for now but as soon as I release a new version (hopefully by this weekend) i'll do some research and post my findings.

Add me to the list of the intrigued.

while you're at it, could you have a look at the default windows popups as well? you know, the ones with that incredibly tiny and impossible to hit ok thingy in the top right corner? even *with* a stylus it is annoyingly hard to press ok.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/ToolTip_Class.aspx or http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/02/15/373120.aspx do there help any? I am not a programmer! so if they don't help at all!

Thank you very much computerjunkie, wish you finish the wFacebook program and while i test that for you, you'd do everyone a favor with this program idea
Cheers mate

i hope this will change from within the OS itself in the coming WM 6.5 or at least WM 7. microsoft should hire you, francarl, or buy your FingerMenu code

I mean the standard "Are you sure" type of popups, the square ones in the middle of the screen with the impossible to hit tiny square OK 'button'.

Oh, yeah those too are so damn annoying!
If there are things that amaze me in pocket pc they are the following:
1. PPCs are more than 10 years old, and we still have THAT FEW RAM with SUCH SLOW PROCESSOR?
2. A message to Microsoft, WTF are you doing? We here at XDA can create a better OS with MUCH smarter tools and you as an enterprise suck that much in your own OS?
Hope we get a fix / program for the tooltip AND those middle confirmation messages, like the one that appears when you try to shut down the device. Buttons are non user friendly and still needs a stylus. Idiotic menus/tooltips.
Cheers

[strange bug] Menu button spells out mEnu

Okay I don't know if its just me, but now that I noticed this veerrrry tiny thing I see it EVERYTIME I use my phone. on the menu button the 'e' is the only thing capitalized! So the menu button is like 'mEnu' that doesn't make sense =\

Nice point out! Now I'm going to see that every time I look at my phone, thanks. ;-)

No its just the E cause if you look closely you can see the e is ever so slightly taller than the rest of the letters D=

hTC is correct ;-)

MyTouch 3G?
I assume you're referring to the MyTouch menu button.
That's due to the tiny print I would assume. It looks exactly like what you described, "mEnu" - HOWEVER, that is completely ignored because the TEXT size levels out the letters on my menu button.
Also, think about the "hTC" logo. It's an "hTC style" of doing things.

I'm sorry, but that was a well thought out, articulate, and most likely correct response....
And that is NOT what we are trying to achieve in this thread obviously.

maybe its show the world the new way of punctuation. iPhone brought touch revolution and magic has brought in the punctuation revolution. So hail to the new punctuation (gotta show it tom my english teacher telling her that english rules have changed)

Start/settings/menu (bottom right)/all settings/system/clear storage

You will lose any tweaks and installs you have done since you first unboxed the phone, yes.

Maybe it's just worth trying to change the keyboard language?
You know, there's a keyboard icon in the centre at the bottom of the screen when you are typing something?
There is also a small arrow near that icon. If you click that, it has to show you some options, among which is the option to change the input settings.
(At least it is so on a UK ROM)
Hope it helps

Okay Guys..... Rather than start a New Topic on my problem I found this topic which is titled correctly.
I have a horrendous problem with the keyboard every now and then failing to load that has only started today.
After I have used the Keyboard for whatever reason at that particular time I then put the Phone back into sleep mode.
Later, when I switch the Phone back on and again need to use the Keyboard I press the Keyboard symbol at the foot of the screen but it fails to load the Keyboard and thus you can not enter any text.
The only way to use the Keyboard is to then perform a Soft-Reset and then it works...... until later when we have to repeat the whole affair.....
It does not happen all the time but as an example I have used the Keyboard today on 6 separate occasions.
These occasions are when the machine has been put to sleep, woken and the Keyboard to be loaded.
Anyway, of these 6 separate occasions it has failed to load 4 times.
That means I have had to carry out a Soft-Reset 4 times today.
I have not installed anything since the problem started today and am at a loss why it is playing up in this manner.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Keyboard in browser + landscape mode = problem

Hi,
I'm almost in love with my GSII despite the fact that the keyboard is taking too much place on the screen when I'm writing a SMS or a simple message...
I encounter a "serious" problem with my GSII when I was writing an answer in a forum, I couldn't see what I was writing, there was no focus on the written line :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
At this time the copy-paste and the pinch to zoom are becoming inaccurate, if I want to re-focus in the good area, as soon as I tap another word, the screen moves down automatically :
Same problem in Dophin HD or whatever keyboard installed.
Very... very annoying.
Did you noticed this too ?
Thanx

Up please. I need to know if the problem is software or...

I have to say I find this very, very annoying as well. It's not super terrible in the stock browser, but I'm using Firefox and I can't even see the text window. Also, I'm getting weird behavior in Firefox. At least in the xda forums, nothing gets inserted into the text box as I type. Gonna try a restart to see if that helps. In my screenshot, I've got XT9 on. With it off it's only marginally better.

Tanx.
Yeah the notification tab is too big. If you can't see what you are writing in a such big screen, what's the point??? Samsung screwed up big time on this, never had that problem with other Android phones.
Hope they release a fix for this quickly or maybe the new firmwares already solve the problem but I'm waiting for official ones.

Probably my major annoyance with the phone. Often you have to guess what you're typing because as soon as you start typing the text goes up out of sight in some places like forums and such.

Did you get the latest firmwares ?

Well, slightly annoying, but when typing (forums, logins, etc.) I hold it in portrait mode ...............

Yeah you right, but I randomly encounter the same problem in portrait mode... Plus in this mode, it becomes more difficult, for me, to read cause I have a bad sight.
We clearly have a super-phone here but problems like this shouldn't exist

I noticed this too, and I use Dolphin HD.
Very very annoying
Text editing in Android is just bad overall... needs to be fixed

It seems that we are only a few to be really annoyed by this problem... up !

I'm glad I'm used to typing in portrait mode. Landscape makes me slower, actually. I got in luck with this one..
Receiving my SGS2 this afternoon! (finally.. wasn't home on friday)

Up people ! Feedback needed !

My biggest annoyance with the keyboard is that the spacebar is too short, I keep hitting the full stop, which is a pain in the arse!!
Loving swype though.

Try HTC_IME_hi22 it will let you type and see where you are typing and doesn't take up as much room as the stock keyboard, plus, it has lots of settings to personalise it, I think you will like it.

Why don't you use preinstalled Swype Keyboard?

Use smartkeyboard from market. Its the first thing I install in any phone.

I'm already using smartkeyboard but keyboard isn't the real problem I think.

I use Swiftkey, and yes this problem is very annoying. What's worse though is I find tapping your sentence to place the cursor at a specific point utterly hit and miss. It's really, really hard to get it where you want it.
This might just be a problem with the forum I use the most (whirlpool), but it's bloody annoying.
I have to say, the iPhone is way ahead when it comes to placing the cursor where you want it. I'm hanging for a mod that uses the little magnifying glass thing that the iPhone has.

As the OP said, download smart keyboard
It lets you customize the keyboard however you'd like (well, almost)
In your case, you can make the spacebar bigger
