The old keyboard still comes up. I installed the .CAB file and I don't know what else to do. help me Please be patient with me. Just switched from G1 to this phone literally 1 day ago. Still not used to 6.5 WinMO.
you have to either hold down the arrow key next to the keyboard button or hold down the button itself. When I first got my TMOUS HD2 I had to hold down the arrow key. But after flashing it to kumar, I just had to hold down the keyboard button.
it works! As simple as that seemed, I feel like a completely dumbass noob.

I installed Swype 3.9 and everything worked fine. I accidentally uninstalled it because some skin cab I installed didn't work so I was trying to delete that file but instead I deleted Swype program file through file explorer. I know, dumb.
I tried to re-install the swype cab but everytime I try, program file folder doesn't install and the keyboard doesn't appear. I have no idea why it doesn't install program file folder. Anyone have solution to my problem?

well after i installed an new rom on my tmobile wing i got an error message saying error cant find soft keys so on my home screen there is no soft keys? idk what to do and i am panicking
What Rom did you flash?
as of now I would go to the Windows folder, Subfolder StartUp and see if there is an link with the name: vijaytodayshrink.lnk.
If it is there delete this link and you get your Softkeys back.

edit: one thing, the softkeys are only not on the Screen, the mainkeys right and left on your Phone are working, if it is this with the link.

What rom did you flash to? I flashed to open touch 5.1 and I think I got that same error message, but my soft keys did work anyway. You can always just copy the included file into your windows directory, and then do a soft reset. Then, you can go to start/settings/system/soft key and reassign it.
Hiya
Just got my htc touch hd, installed a few cabs (Fennec, skyfire and what not), however when I now click on other cab files i have put onto my storage card, they will not install. The green highlight bar just flashes when i click it and the "Up" and "menu" at the bottom flash and disappear. I have tried double clicks, single clicks - the whole lot! Does anyone know why it is doing this and how it can be resolved please - without a hard reset lol.
Furthermore, my end key does not lock the device when I hold it, despite the settings saying it should. I have downloaded pocketsheild so hopefully wil;l; that fix it in a way? However I cannot install it!!!!!
All help appretiated, have searched but not much luck

soft reset fixed it! any ideas about lock?
Hi all:
Seeking some help regarding the keyboard fix for tilt2. It was working fine for me when I use one of the official EUR 6.5 ROMs. I just flashed to a 6.5 WWE Hong Kong ROM with CHT and the cab is not working. I believe possibly because of the different IME for Chinese or the newer version of the ROM?
Instead of a cab is there some keys I can change/add to registry to fix that problem? It's driving me crazy not able to type properly...
Thanks in advance!!
I eneded up using the hwkeyboard cab to get the right FN and shift key....then I added takrim's keyboard control and reassigned all the keys to the correct place. Here's the XML file you can load to get all the keys...unzip and open keyboard config -> load -> and choose the xml file.
thanks for the xml, im having an issue with my numbers and symbols not working and this one seemed to remap it correctly when i put it into the keyboard config. However, the OK button is the FN button, and the FN button is caps lock, and im not sure what the capslock/shift button does (but it doesn't do anything when i press it)! . Is there a way to swap them in the config? i tried to do it myself but could only find how to create a rule and i dont think thats correct. Thanks!
install Toleraen's Tilt2KWKeyboard cab....for my initial testing it fix the FN and shift key but nothing else...
so now I have both the hwkeyboard cab installed - to fix FN and shift. Then use keyboard config + my XML for the rest.
Give it a try
Again. All the stuff you need.
I have downloaded these three files, but I do not know how to load them into my Tilt2. They don't unzip to .cab files. Could anyone help me with some instructions here?
Thanks in advance
RQDHD2 cab
Iam now using this fix and it worked for me and i can still sync with outlook
When i use HW keybord SIP keybord wil also hide
Works beautifully, thanks!
I got to modify your 'Keyboardconfig.xml" one-by-one as it is not working for mine. This may due to different ROM version. Anyway, attached my copy of .xml file & I'm using WME version of ROM. Hope this help those having same problem.
I've tried installing swype but when I chose the keyboard it says "Open of EnglishUS failed!" and doesn't show the keyboard up.
How do I get this to work?

The thread suggested is closed and i couldnt find the answer you were after either. I used to have this working but since i hard reset to save/clean up RAM the phone works great except i now get your error message. This only appears with v3.9 from the T2.
Based on various forums this is a common thing. Also stuffs up internet,email and many other settings (for some anyway). No fix on all of these forums except to use the Omnia extracted version 2.0. IMO this is quicker, the hold down key for numbers actually works unlike 3.9 which is very hit and miss. Sure it doesnt look as good as the keys are a bit smaller etc but use something like Lesscro skin and it looks great and actually works.
However for me anyway if you use Wifi and it can lock your phone or the keypad dissapears for some reason, turn Wifi off and it works like a charm and is very quick.
sorry for the essay

What if exactly same problem apears on android os on my samsung vibrant?
I installed Swype 3.9 and it worked initially. I can access the menu through keyboard icon. I accidentally uninstalled it because wm7 skin cab I installed didn't work so I was trying to delete that file but instead I deleted Swype program file through file explorer. I know, dumb.
I tried to re-install the swype cab but everytime I try, program file folder doesn't install and the keyboard doesn't appear nether does keyboard menu. I have no idea why it doesn't install program file folder. Anyone have any idea to my problem? Anything can help.
Thanks!!
Let me know which one works best.
i tried both of them, but still doesn't work. I think the problem is either me unable to delete the program completely so the re installing program can't install the cab fully.
The program appears in application list as"swype-inc" but still doesn't create "Swype" folder in Program File listing in File Explorer. I don't know if that's the reason why the keyboard doesn't appearing
Hope that make sense.
Download PIM backup or whatever you use to backup your phone and save your contacts, messages, and whatever you need. Then do a hardset.

Sounds like your registry is corrupted.

MemMaid is a 3rd-party app that helps clean memory among other things...one of the features it claims it has is the ability to clean out the remnants of bad uninstalls...give it a shot and see if it clears out the old crap so you can fully install it again. Cab is attached, I think it's a trial version (time-limited).
I never done hard reset before. What does it affect? Would hard reset make all the programs currently installed in the device go away? or does it reset to original factory configuration? How about stuff in SD card? does it affect any data in the SD card as well?
It doesn't mess with your storage cards data one bit. You'll go completely back to stock on your phone like the day you bought it. Backup your contacts and what not using myphone or any other backup program you want. PIM Backup worked best for me.

How to perform a HardReset
Hard Resetting deletes ALL personal data and settings and restores your phone to factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing.
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
First of all, Thanks for all the advices guys.
I did the hard reset. I installed the swype cab file and it says it was successfully installed then did the soft reset. Unfortunately it didn't work. I have no idea why but holding the keyboard icon won't show the swype menu.... I'm so lost..... is this mean my hd2 is ruined for swype usage?
For some reason, after the hard reset, things are little different from when I turned HD2 for the first time... odd
This is the last cab I've got for swype. It's a long shot but give it a try.

Wait. You did a hard-reset and Swype wasn't already available?
What ROM are you running then? 'Cause all of 'em I've seen had Swype pre-installed.
If you did a true hard-reset, you should have to install Swype...
