Dictionary Suggestions With Built In Keyboard - Milestone 2 General

I've been using CyanogenMod for a while on my M2. BTW, works like a charm and installation was painless - thanks a lot for all the tips and your hard work.
One thing I am missing quite a lot from the stock ROM (probably the only thing, really) is having dictionary suggestions displayed at the bottom of the screen when using the physical keyboard (as when using any onscreen keyboard). I have searched the settings menus and simply can't find it anywhere. I have even installed MIUI for a while to see if it was there but no luck either.
Am I missing something or is this feature only available on stock ROM? If so, do you think it would be possible to have it ported to CM7 or any other non-stock ROM in that matter? That would be quite useful especially considering that the M2 keyboard is a little bit on a rubbish side - improved a lot with the Debounce fix though.
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!

But this is on-screen keyboard, isn't it?

yes, but got also auto-correct for HW keyboard with many languages

Oh, didn't know that. I'll have a look. Cheers.
This is quite odd though. Doesn't it mean that installing a stock keyboard patch would bring this feature back? I installed it and the stock on-screen keyboard was fine but I am fairly certain it didn't work. Unless there were some settings I missed.

Works fine actually. Thanks a lot for the tip wadimka.
Wonder if there is a free app with the same functionality.

I ended up using GO Keyboard. I like the interface more, the dictionary seems to be a bit better for some reason (not sure if that's even possible ) and on top of that it's free.
I am fairly certain I have tried it before as I use other GO apps including GO Launcher and the dictionary wasn't working with the built-in keyboard. Looks like I must have messed up some settings.

Anyway to replace default Keyboard without losing pinch to zoom ?

Pinch to zoom seems to be working again now and not done nothing since posting here, very strange.
Does it work once restarted? As in switch phone off then back on?
nope does the same even if this phone is restarted.

I've been having problems with pinch to zoom too, but i had no idea it was linked to the keyboard. Both seem to work perfectly fine usually, but after heavy use i notice pinch to zoom stops working, but is OK after a reboot. Would love to get a fix for this.
I've installed the voice to text with the Verizon keyboard download, and although pinch-to-zoom works most of the time, it occasionally scatters the small home screens to the edges of the screen, and I have to press the home buttone to reset them. But it still works 99% of the time.
Sweet works fine for me, deffo prefer htc keys for typing though. its auto correction is great
Hey guys,
I was having this problem but I figured it out.
Go into the browser, change to the third party browser, exit the browser and restart the phone.
Then pinch zoom works..
you can swap back and forth from the default and the third party one again with pinch zoom enabled.

Verizon 2.1 is considered warez, you shouldnt post it
and regarding the issue, ... does it happen on ALL pinch to zoom applications? i.e. home screen, .. browser, ... galllery ... etc ? or just the browser when using swype? .. what if you used swype in messaging and then sent a message and closed the messaging application, does the pinch gets effected?
I am using swift and I have also used swype beta. Pinch to zoom has never been an issue for me at all. My friend has had this issue thought and he just restarts his desire and then it works again.

Laggy keyboard

Whenever I type on Facebook or anywhere else on the net my keyboard is extremely laggy. Its fine in apps and such. Ive tried three different keyboards - asus, android, and thumb so I don't think that's the problem and my wifi signal is very strong so I know that's not the issue either. Im rooted but running stock rom/kernel. Will flashing a custom rom and/or kernel remedy this? If so any suggestions on which ones?

this is a known issue there is allot of information about it use search before posting
It's Honeycomb, not the Transformer itself.
Should be improved in ICS.
I like the Asus keyboard better then the stock honeycomb one but it was laggy as hell before I disabled that half ass Swype feature.
It's an issue with the stock browser. Apps work just fine because they're optimized for the hardware, but most of the websites on the internet are not. You can alleviate some of the lag by using a different browser like Opera, but don't expect miracles.

Moto BT Keyboard and Team Eos ICS 1.0.0?

Been playing catch-up on Team Eos' AMAZING work with ICS and have installed their ICS 1.0.0 ROM and kernel but was curious if anyone has had issues with the Motorola BT Keyboard. Certain hotkeys, ie Messaging hotkey or Gmail hotkey, at the top pf my keyboard don't respond currently.
On my previous ROM and kernel (Tiamat Moray) most everything on the keyboard worked fine. New to the game, so not sure if this is something that will be resolved in future versions of the ROM/kernel or if this is something to do with the keyboard and ICS generally? Maybe I need to somehow install a keyboard layout of some kind to fix it?
Just curious...
I got the moto keyboard but haven't tried it yet on ics. Ill check it out.

I have noticed the same. Almost everything on the keyboard works fine except for several of the shortcut keys at the top of the keyboard.
Agreed most of my hotkeys work. Gmail doesn't which would be nice to see fixed.

Reverse "back" and "recent" buttons on S4 mini?

Hi,
Is there any way to reverse the Back and Recent hardware buttons on the S4 mini (i9195)?
I'm currently using Lineage 17.1, so I know it's possible to enable on-screen navigation (with the back button on the left and the recent on the right) but I don't want to use on-screen buttons.
I've seen there are some apps that claim they can reverse these buttons, but it seems like overkill to install an always-on app (possibly containing ads and/or spyware) just to have these buttons reversed.
Is there no simple hack that can do this? (preferably without needing root)
Thanks for any help.

Although not an immediate solution, it may be of interest to know that your wish is possible on my S4mini Value Edition (i9195i) using an amazingly wonderful ROM call'd ColtOS. (I also have a regular original S4mini (i9195) using Lineage 17.1, but would prefer to use ColtOS if only somebody would build it.)
Interesting to know that very option is included in ColtOS! Shame the ROM is not available for the i9195, although I think I'd prefer to stick with Lineage for now anyway, just wish there was a simple solution to this buttons issue...
You can use button remaper, i used it with the stock rom and its work great!
