[Q] Soft Keys - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Does any one know how to make Soft Keys v3.08 from the marketplace work on our HD2. Its a good application just like button savior but is more good looking and provides soft keys in the bottom with a feel of capacitive style.
The version has been updated on the marketplace but its thread has gone dead here at xda. Some please look into it and tell me how to make it run.
Thanks.

[Q] CM6 Keyboards?

Is there any keyboard that will actually work, that i can calibrate and it wont freeze when im typing fast.
I put HTC_IME mod keyboard and it was alright until it froze constantly, swype requires me to look at the screen and the " android keyboard" is simply horrible.

Thank you

Smart Keyboard (Pro Version) is the best I've found so far. Try the free version and upgrade if you like it to get T9 capability. Can you post the apk file for that HTC_IME mod? I'd like to try that out!
@ Puffdaddy_d ; i'd be glad to if i still have it in my sd
And thanks ill try it, where can i get it ? ( too lazy to search or anything haha )
edit: nevermind found it in market
and i posted the .apk for you.
Thank you very much for the apk! I'll give it a try. Let me know if Smart Keyboard works out for ya!
Hey can you give me the htc mod keyboard

I wonder if that HTC keyboard mod is really designed for the CDMA hero running froyo? It FC's the moment I try to load it. That sounds more like a complete incompatibility issue rather than being just "buggy". Do you know where you got it from?
My friend has database filled with apps and he put it on my phone via adb, it works just buggy actually.

Just tried installing this using an install manager instead of adb push and it's working flawlessly so far! I've got my HTC Keyboard BACK!!!
Too bad I can't get my $4 back from the market...
Better Keyboard works great. I think its 2 bucks on the market
try SwiftKey Beta, it's free and actually works on CM6 (I'm using it now!)

Request/idea/proposal

Alright I posted this before in the development section and got laughed at, so ill try here.
Pretty much what I want in a ROM is the ability to create a new soft hey in-between the menu and back soft buttons. It would be invisible. And you could map this to whatever you wanted. What I would I would want to map or too is the launcher section part of Go Launcher. I was wondering what you guys think of this idea and if you'd want it implemented. I'm not a Dev so someone else would have to do it.

A soft key is still hardware. You would have to physically modify the phone to install it.
I don't think so.. I could be wrong but that's part of the touch screen. Use any multi touch tester and you'll see.

The search capacitive key

....is possibly the most useless button ever. I don't think I have ever used it since owning the Vibrant..
tis true.

How about pressing it within an app to easily launch that app's search feature ...?
Did you know you can do that ...?

thats the only time i use it lol
i assigned it to open my go sms pro app lololo
CM7
i use it a lot as shortcut to search specific words in texts or a music in my music list... hehe
I never use it on the home screen.
I use it all the time in Market.
I always remap it to camera. I use an app called button remapper from market.

I use it all the time. It's the quickest way to pull up a contact or even an app.
(I've turned off the web search so it's fast)
I know you can "dial" a contact name in the dialer, but it doesn't tell you which number is mobile, work, etc so it's pointless.
I also use this TONS! It allows me to remove the google search widget, and I use it for voice search all the time.

This. I use it in apps quite a bit, and it has solved many arguments with a touch of extra urgency.

Like Alex pointed out, you can remap it...
that said, I am going to argue if you don't use it, you just are doing it wrong... the search button saves me a lot of time. There is a reason it's the 4th button, of 4 though.
Samsung got the 4 buttons in the right order, in my opinion.
I am right handed though.

No matter what order it was in, you'd get used to it now or later...
I basically use the search for in-app searches like in the market etc.

[KEYBOARD] Stock Gingerbread Keyboard without smiley key

That damn smiley key was driving me insane, so I got the Gingerbread keyboard source from AOSP, got it to compile, and got rid of the smiley face button. Other than that, it's identical to the stock Android gingerbread keyboard, so requires 2.3+. Eventually I may figure out how to make it able to be turned on and off, but that would rather defeat the point. Enjoy!
(Note: you have to enable it in the Keyboard settings before you can use it, just like any other keyboard.)
The Eclipse project (source) is available here.
this sounds like a good thing for me because it also became annoying to me.
quick question though because i cant check out the keyboard mod yet, but does it remove the smiley key completely, or does it replace it with an enter key or something?
soon as i get the chance, ill install and see for myself
Nice. I like that it has been replaced with the enter key instead. I find that to be immensely more useful.
I replaced it with the significantly-more-useful return key.

The smiley key doesn't annoy me per se, but the fact that the Enter key was removed does. So now, it is impossible to have any semblance of formatting in your SMS'es.
Will definitely give this a go as soon as possible. This is definitely a must have as far as I am concerned.
Thanks, but i've a problem with your keyboard.
I turned on the vibrate on keyboard settings, but there is no vibration when I push a key.

Hm. I didn't modify the keyboard in any way other than replacing the smiley key, so I have no idea what may be causing that.

It's probably because you've packaged up the WVGA keyboard file, and not the qHD version. The Sensation sports a higher res screen.

That would make sense, but I don't see why the same keyboard wouldn't work on all devices. I mean, looking at the code, I see nothing that would prevent scaling. I was never asked for a target screen size to compile for, nor do I see any way to enter it. If someone could explain a way to fix it, I would gladly rerelease a qHD-compatible version.

You should try and work it out that Long Press of the return key let's you select smileys. It's one of my favorite features of Perfect Keyboard. But non the less, good job.

please use a topic name like "rotation when gaming" or like this !
and CM has an option to flip 90°, 180°, 270° but i don't know if it works in games
Ummm..
So i hope someone gets around this!!
I think there is a way. You'll have to change the android manifest configuration and/or the layout configuration from the apk.
