[Q] Add special character to HTC keyboard - HD Mini General

I'm using HTC mini rom v.1.36.707.3 (94538) WWE
I'm looking for the solution to add special charactor to HTC keyboard.
HTC keyboard is very nice that you can press for about 5 sec then can select special charactors. However, it'll be nice if can modify the list of special character which can be selected.
PS: I used Samsung i780 before and I got the solution by modifying sym.0409.txt --- Are there anything similar?

it may help if you instal additional keyboards in the main memo (not the memory card) and use a program like IMSelector (not sure where to get it from).

Ive been using SPB Full Screen Keyboard. It works like a dream, both portrait and lanscape mode (landscape better ) Fully customised keyboards to download for FREE I would fully recommend this!!! Best of all, when installing it gives you the option to 'map' a button to activate the keyboard
Google it, try it, buy it
EDIT-oh, I forgot to mention, being a full screen keyboard it makes it difficult to see what your typing but you can scroll left and right. If you map a buttton, it takes a second to start-up and close down with a push of the button!!!!
Have a look at this link Using alternate keyboards, i had a similar problem and installing the G4 SIP manager solved the problems.

[THE] Black Diamond keyboards - whc's SM multilanguage added!

Hey guys,
I inversed colours of keyboard and dialer.
Copy the files to the device, from there to Windows folder, they're protected so I used Total Commander.
If there's anyone who would like keyboards like this but blue or red or whatever, tell me and I will do it for you or tell you how to do it.
Black original keyboards (You have to have original version installed) (without full qwerty):
http://uploading.com/files/HO87HZFT/Black Diamond keyboards.zip.html
http://rapidshare.com/files/197643363/Black_Diamond_keyboards.zip.html
I made also whc's small keyboard, including full qwerty, symbols and numbers. Works fine on my Diamond, all languages should work. I edited files from the newest version, but I don't think you'll get any problem on older version.
How to uninstall (get back to whc's grey SM):
Launch uninstall cab - on the list of programs you'll got this "program" or:
Uninstall Black whc keyboard like a normal program and install whc's keyboard again or:
Install whc's keyboard
I think it's best to launch uninstall cab, you'll have two more programs on program list but it won't take any memory.
These methods won't uninstall whc's SM, only turn from black back to grey.
It seems to be impossible to change font colour in full qwerty, so I had to make it lighter :/
Incoming: Update for original (full qwerty), whc's stock keyboard & after that whc's hd.
If I missed something, let me know.
Can you do all the keyboard I use full qwerty
This is great !!! I LOVE THIS !!!
Only 1 problem it dont work on my diamond :-(
Full keyboard is almost ready but I think I will have to make it lighter a bit to make those black letters more visible.
Dude! Awesome! Now I'm waiting on full qwerty and landscape qwerty.
Any plans on making this for the Touch Diamond Small keyboard? The one from the HTC Fuze.
wow thanx cant wait for the swedish keyboard what about the telephone pad keyboard
do you mind making a phone keyboard?
Nice! I can't wait for the Spanish version
you guys can call me a chicken, BUT, is the swedish version bulletproof? does it really work as suposed to? on ROM 203SWE ?
I've had enough problams making the damn KB black alraedy. so i just want some insurance. and reliable feedbacks
thanks in advance
thanx 4 the swe board that was quickly done

I think these keyboards should work on all ROMs.
I think U converted wrong files in Dialpad. ... You should convert Assets_dialer_Normal.bmp and Assets_Dialer_Pressed.bmp because those files U gave in dialpad don`t change anything ...
wondering one thing im using whc 1.6 swe keyboard this will work on all ?
If you have any different keyboard installed instead of the original, it won't change its colours but you will have original keyboard with inversed colours.
hmm strange,
I copied the files in the Swedish folder.
but ut never asked me to replace existing files.
and after my reboot, only the 123 and T9 buttons are black the others are still the same
can it be because my buttons are named differently?
Which keyboard do you use? This is swedish version of mini qwerty, maybe you use phone keyboard?
i use phone keyboard too think you can make a black one of that please ? tack så mycket
I think I will post it tomorrow. But tell me, do you have any special swedish characters on phone keyboard?

[CAB] [10 MAY 10] SoftTouch MaxKey Keyboard: Now More Languages Supported

[Update May 10 2010:]
Huge thanks to Soul72 for adding other language support to MaxKey:
- English
- Italian
- German
- Norwegian
- Hungarian
Just follow the instructions below, but download the file below ending in "multilanguage." The other version just has English.
[Original Post:]
Ready for a screen keyboard that's easier to type on? This is a reconfiguration of the fabulous FingerKeyboard 2.1, so all respect to Exidler and Rozenthal. I have maximized the size of the keys as much as possible, focusing on keeping the edge keys further in given that protective cases may make these inaccessible. I also made the symbol keys much more standard (no longer 10 types of smiley faces!!! ) Moving the p and q up is a bit unorthodox, but I think you'll be pleased with the result.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE INSTALLING:
- You must have FingerKeyboard 2.1 installed for this to work
- FingerKeyboard must be installed on your device, NOT on the card
- The file that does not say "multilanguage" is is only for ENGLISH
- You can close MaxKey by pressing and holding the spacebar
- The attached cab also installs the X1 SoftTouch tweak to maximize your screens responsiveness, for best keyboard performance
- At the moment, uninstalling this requires a few steps that are relatively simple:
- - - Uninstall "Paco SoftTouch MaxKey 0.1" under Settings/System/Remove Programs
- - - Rename /Program Files/FingerKeyb/skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng-bak.txt to skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng.txt
- - - Move skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng.txt to /Program Files/FingerKeyb/Skins
- - - Next time you RE-select FingerKeyb in the SIP selector, the regular key configuration should be back
Install directions:
1. Install FingerKeyboard 2.1 to your device (not card!)
2. Download and install the SoftTouch MaxKey cab that is attached at the bottom of this post
3. Open the SIP selector which is the tiny triangle to the right of the keyboard selector in the middle of the bottom menu bar
4. Select FingerKeyb, and the MaxKey keyboard configuration should appear
5. To unistall, see above
If there is interest in this, I can try to keep developing for other languages and to make improvements based on suggestions. Donations would be highly appreciated.
Donate

Exidler and Rozenthal for FingerKeyboard
Fards for teaching me how to make cabs
ChangeLog:
0.1 - First release
0.2 - Fixed the " and ? keys; slight tweak to symbols layout
nice, can you modify one to be a compact qwerty

Sorry, what do you mean by "compact qwerty?" Do you mean fewer rows of keys, like 4 rows instead of 5?
finger keyboard does not support compact qwerty(yet at least)
thats great ring-bearer....i ll give it a shot
btw from where u got that cool battery icon on top?
Compact qwerty would be nice, but I think it would probably conflict with the FingerKeyboard2 keymap, since a compact qwerty only has 12 buttons.
If you don't know how a compact qwerty looks like, take a look at an old mobile phone without touch screen or hardware keyboard and notice that the function of every key carries a number of letters, that you get by pressing various numbers of times. For example; I want to write "C". I press the number 2 three times, and the C appears.
I think it would be possible for someone to make a compact qwerty, since there is one in the new Touch Pro 2's and Diamond 2's. Also, if you look at the Xperia default dialer (or any dialer for that matter), there are 3 to 4 letters on every key - there's your ready made compact qwerty. Of course I don't know anything about making this myself, I'm just looking at the posibilities of someone making it.

Hope you like it! I do think it has made a moderate difference in ease of text entry.
The great set of icons is from one of gtrabs' collections. I think it's the "X Series"
Spanish version?
Thanks, thanks, thanks!!! Finally keyboard that suites me...
p.s. key for ? doesn't work...

If you mean a keyboard where there are two letters on each key, there is a Touch IT compact qwerty that I believe Itje has made available.

Good pickup - thanks a lot. I have uploaded a fixed version to the first post:
SoftTouch_MaxKey_0.2
Ah, looks like I was confused about the names - what I meant before was ''Phone Keypad'' and you can get this with EzInput so nevermind
Anyways, is it possible to get swedish? The only difference is that long press on J gets an Å, long press K gets you an Ä and L gets you Ö. That would be great!
this is most amazing keypad out there!
keypad vey responsive!
can i request something?
is it possible to remove the page up down etc.
on "EN" coz' you know in xperia they have some sort of a mouse to scroll
so that there will be more space for a key! very usefull if there will more space to press a single key.
and some character in the third row and so fort have minimal spacing
maybe it can help if you can try to edit this?
but you know this proram works well for me is just maybe you can do
enhance it for x1 users? thank you in advance!!! nice work

Yeah, I can try to do something like that. I also want to work on the placement of the 'enter' and 'backspace' keys because they aren't optimal right now. But the main problem for me was the size of the qwerty keys, and those are now as big as they can get without inventing a whole new layout. But I agree that those directional buttons are not highly needed. I also still want to develop for the other languages people requested, but it may be a couple of months because real life is crazy busy for a while.
I could also try to make a SIP much more tailored to the X1 from the ground up. My C++ skills aren't great though but if anyone wants to PM me the 'dvoraksip.sln' code that comes with the Windows Mobile Version 5.0 SDK, I could probably modify that. I just don't have the SDK or the example code that comes with it. Anyone?
Thnx for the keyboard.. Its just made my XPERIA perfect!
But I have a question.. When I open the keyboard on my phone, the bottom bar dissappears.. Is this something you programmed it to do, to maybe give larger screen above the keyboard, or it something wrong with my config?
This layout isn't very nice. I prefer a normal qwerty layout.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. To answer your question:
No, I didn't program that feature in. That is a changeable feature of FingerKeyboard. Just go to programs/fingerkeyboard/options then change Portrait from "Hide bar" to "Show bar."
You'll be all set!

change WM keyboard layout ?

I have a ww english version of the Touch 3G
The HTC software keyboard (called "Full QWERTY") nicely follows regional settings, and hence displays the AZERTY layout matching my language
The WM OS software keyboard (called "Keyboard") keeps defaulting to QWERTY...
But here comes the trick: I have an "old" bluetooth foldable keyboard (was working fine with my QTEK S100), that I am trying to use with my Touch 3G; the layout of this hardware keyboard is AZERTY.
2 options, 2 problems:
option #1: use the latest drivers available for the keyboard (which is no longer supported by the manufacturer); unfortunately,the drivers apparently don't like wm 6.1 and cause crashes in the services.exe module.
option #2 : have the keyboard recognized by wm 6.1 as standard HID BT device ("Think Outside Keyboard"): that works, despite some functionality loss I can live with, but the keyboard layout is wrong, b/c the device OS is ww english, and hence the layout is QWERTY, regardless of the regional settings....Apparently, this follows the logic of the WM OS software keyboard, not the HTC soft keyboard...
Question: in order to make option #2 work: I would need to tweak the OS to use the AZERTY keyboard layout instead of the default QWERTY... any way to accomplish that ?

Can you advice which version of FingerKeyb 2.1 work perfect in HTC Touch 3g (Jade).
Although, Jade already have Full Qwert keypad, which is quite comfortable, but it gets deformatted once I manually change the orientation to Landscape (using QuickMenu).
So, basically I'm looking for a keypad similiar or better than Full Qwerty Keypad to use in Landscape orientation.
Thanks in advance!!

You can try this one:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/keyboard/
The landscape-mode is very good, IMO, but you have to buy it after a free trial-time.

[Q] Arrows in Keyboard IME from Samsung

Hi guys!
I have a question about the SGS2.
On the latest version of my OLD HTC with rooted ROM Reflax it has arrows under the keyboard.
While the SGS2 doesn't have a trackball/pad, I would like to have a keyboard with arrows so I can go back/forward/up/down in my characters in my text.
Before the SGS2 I had the HTC Desire that one has a trackball/pad.
It would be awesome if someone know an app, or would develop one for me and other people!
(Sorry for my bad english grammer, Im not the best with it..)
Greetings,
RedFeather
AFAIK the stock keyboard doesn't have this option but I didn't use it long enough to discover it. Try 'Gingerbread Keyboard' on the matket by Steven Lin which is free or Perfect Keyboard which is paid but lives up to its name. Both have the required option if you swipe up in the space bar.
Regards.
Thanks, and i see this is placed in the wrong forum? How to replace it to Q&A? (New to XDA)
Someone else got an option?
Smart keyboard pro as the ability to put arrows on the keyboard.
Used it on my MIUI roms and worked great.
In Settings you enable or disable it and with a HTC skin it looks exactly the same.

hmm sounds nice.
I saw it in the market, it is paid. Whats the difference with the Trial version?
And else, do you have the pro version .apk for me? (A):$
Swype
The built-in swype keyboard has the ability to show arrow keys.
To get them you need to swipe from the swype-key (bottom left) to the "sym" key.
