[Q] Is it possible to change keyboard in CM7?? - Wildfire General

Hi
Is it possible to change keyboard in CM7 to phone keypad ??
it is really difficult to send message with its default keyboard...
tnx

Yes of course you can,just download one from market then go into language and keyboard settings and enable it. Then bring your keyboard up and long press on text screen and change imput method to new keyboard.
Alternative is to remove latin.ime from system apps and replace with other keyboard.
Big buttons keyboard is quite good, used it for a while but stock is more responsive and the new ics keyboard posted in apps and themes thread is awsome.

what's your favourite keyboard ?

Do you use deafult keyboard, better keyboard, swype keyboard, smart keyboard ?
what ?
thanks
Default. i wish there was a keyboard like fingerkeyboard for WM - fully customisable.
I don't actually like any keyboard for this phone but about the best one is Slide Keyboard and its free. The buttons are much larger than the standard and its easy to work out.
I'm hating default keyboard because i keep hitting settings button, plus predictive words won't work in all forms (like here, i can't get words predictions and i can't understand why)
I'll try slide keyboard
Thanks
EDIT: unfortunately the italian dictionary for slide keyboard is not "available" on the tattoo market !

I have to switch the keyboard in settings. Then there is a little gear on one of the keys of the default keyboard. You just longpress that and it will offer you to select input mode. You can select the keyboard you have installed yourself.

On mine, my keyboard has an EN button on it. If I press that it gives me a shortlist of languages. If I then press Settings I can then alter text input settings - can't see arabic though...I'd expect you'd need an Asian ROM for that...

[Q] How do I change the keyboard color?

I am new to these forums and did a search but didn't find anything.
I am trying to change the color of the keys on the keyboard to be all black. Currently, the keys are all white (with the exception of the backspace, next, and a few others), but my sister has a 3G Slide and her on screen keyboard has all the keys as black and I love the look of it. Is there a way to change the color of the keys? I would have thought it would be an option under Language and Keyboard, but I was unable to find it.
By the way, if it matters, my phone is rooted.
Thanks for the help.
There is no way to customize the default keyboard, but if you hit this link, you can download the modded version of the HTC keyboard, and customize it to your liking.

You can also try Smart Keyboard Pro. It has skins you can download from their forum.
Thanks. I played around with that and was able to create a keyboard I liked. Unfortunately, I should have mentioned that I want to continue using Swype so I don't think that site will let me customize my Swype keyboard.
The Swype beta has reopened, and if you sign up and download the updated version of Swype, it should be the darker theme you are used to. I think the white verson was only for the MT4G pre-installed version.

[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.

Second layout for physical keyboard

Hi all,
I've been playing around with my wife's MS2, running Tezet's CM10. I've been trying to get her phone to be able to have two seperate keyboard layouts for the physical keyboard, namely English (QWERTY) and Hebrew.
So far the only solution I've found is to use AnySoftKeyboard with the Hebrew plugin from the market which allows me to change the layout on the soft keyboard and then when I pull out the physical keyboard the layout remains as selected. Any other keyboard (stock or otherwise) that I've tried reverts back to QWERTY when using the physical keyboard, although once I shut it the soft keyboard remains as selected.
Isn't there any way to have the same behaviour as AnySoftKeyboard on the stock keyboard or even better, on Swiftkey? Or some other way of doing it?
Thanks for any help!
Edit: Posted here and not on the CM10 thread because this has been the case on every ROM I have tried...
