Apple Style Keyboard

I have a 20 key HTC Touch Dual 850 and was wondering if a app was available where you can have an apple style on screen keyboard. There is a thread where a 16 key has this style keyboard popping up. Please see link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=79365&d=1207314335
Any help on this would be great!!!

I tried the pocketcm keyboard and liked it alot. However, It mad writing sms much harder. I swap between swedish and english quite alot and the skortcut key didn't work after installation of pocketcm. So I had to remove their keyboard to get this feature back.

TouchPal just came up with a new version that I believe you can switch between different languages with ease. I only use english so have never tried, but it's supposed to be pretty nice.

[REQ] Auto keyboard by stylus.

I always use the full keyboard with the stylus, and the compact one with my fingers. Maybe somebody could develop an app that changes the keyboard layout on the stylus event?
Cheers...

Try butler. You'll need to change the unique IDs for each of the keyboards, but it should do what you want.

Ahh... I didn't find that one in my search...

Alternative
Here you have

Look in some page I dont remember there are a cab to install it. Then change the keyboard that you want in the registry, Normally I use full Qwerty with the stylus in, and keyboard with the stylus out.
Sorry for my english

Open up Skin-01-global.txt in notepad and delete the following line:
ClickSound click-0.wav
Make sure not to edit in Word, use the simple notepad you have in every Windows.
***
Found that in the thread. The sounds do go away in vibrate/silent mode as well.

I'm using this...love it.

Attempting to cook it into my latest ROM. Thanks for the heads up

Does it mess up the "au" key on the hardware keyboard?

my au key and my sym key don't work but i'm not sure if that is cause of me or cause of the keyboard

thanks a lot for your help.i ll try this trick.

I want to ask... does it have auto-correction of mistyped words (like PCM Keyboard and the others)?
It keeps saying "no T9" for this new keyboard, but does that mean it has no auto-guess/auto-correction for your typing? because if it doesn't, its much less powerful, even if it is prettier.

Thank you for a great keyboard!!

fingerkeyboard doesn't mess up with the hardware key mapping.
you have probably installed some other SIP/keyboard software that modifies the registry setting.

If I install this, will the hardware keyboard lose it's suggested words?

Alternative Keyboards?

Are there GOOD alternative keyboards for the HD2 without the arrows to the right of the keyboard, I really hate them?

use SWYPE. I love that . . .

I have tried Various Keyboards and i keep going back to Swype. Once you use it for a bit i think you will agree it's probably the best Keyboard out right now.

I don't really like Swype, I much prefer to actually press and not drag. Thanks though but anymore suggestions?

Take a look at FingerKeyboard2, it's really a good one.

i've used fingerbeyboard2 for a while, the options and customisation of it is great, plus if you change fonts on your HD2 this keyboard font changes too..
Really cool highly recommended,

yeah swype is still amazing...
badly, it doesnt save any pw's for me....
only help was performing a hard reset....

Thanks guys I'll check it out.

anyone know where i can get the old style keyboard that has ctrl, alt, tab and caps buttons?
i kinda liked using the keyboard shortcuts

i cannot get fingerkeyboard to install on my stock 1.66 hd2. receive error message after cab install to main memory "unzuccessful". any ideas?

fingerKeyboard isnt so good on HD2. It has some known bugs, also it is VERY slow on HD2.
If You are used to fast writing then You will have a lot of problems with it .
Thats why im actually on stock keyboard, it is not so bad in fact

True, but the original keyboard does not support enough languages. So, if you need some specific layout, you don't have many choices and FingerKeyboard does the job.

yep, right, but as i said, fingerKeybord is buggy on HD2, sad but true.
im using it only when i have to use CTRL + C, V, X, and so on
normally im using stock keyboard.

Thanks you answered my main question : why the hell did they remove ctrl, alt and other useful keys like Esc ?
I'll give a try to Fingerkeyboard

press the up arrow twice

Just installed fingerkeyboard 2.1 and works like a charm much less typos than original keyboard I must say, but it seems there's no option for full screen keyboard like Spb Keyboard or does it? Anyhow each one (HTC/Finger/Spb) has it's own benefit for different applications.

I like Swype and SlideIT (most dont like it at first but with practice, its by far faster as its becoming stock software for many phones like Omnia now etc).
Anyway if your a pressing vs sliding person, i prefer Touchpal. Works like a charm, many nice skins for it, very easy to type with, accurate blah blah. Ive tried many pressing keyboards and found this the best, v4.0 is for the HD2, not 3.5

Yeah, my bad. Sorry. Are you sure that you're changing setting for a keyboard you're using? Because I changed settings in my htc_ime and I'm perfectly capable of making that 'c' of yours with long press on c key...
