Alternative keyboard for Artemis

[irv777]

I just thought i'd share this little nice app for our Artemis......it beats the small microscopic keyboard that WM5 comes with......i got this from an eten x500 device and its also available for download from the eten-users forum website.......this is what it looks like:

can you share the name of this app?

[richiev4]

I'd like to know too!

[irv777]

E-ten calls it Easy Keyboard......i tried looking for it everywhere but apparently its only available for eten devices......there are other similar software out there but the design is not as good as this one......

[cortez.i]

thanks for the fast follow up... looks like SPB Keyboard is my best option at the moment.

[irv777]

no worries, and yeah i use to have the spb full screen keyboard aswell in portrait or landscape mode but i don't like the fact that you have to assign the program to a hardware key to launch it.....i prefer something to come up automatically like the standard keyboard, if you know what i mean.

I am member of the eten-users forum, but I can't find from where it could be downloaded. Can you help?

cheers

I've downloaded it from the eten-users ftp server, X500 directory.
The problem with this software is that it is not running properly in the Artemis. It opens and seems to run properly, then, after some time of usage, it pop back. Then, you cannot keep the keyboard up while typing, it pops back constantly.

It's a pity since this keyboard is most useful. If somebody can provide the solution, I'll appreciate.

that's weird......i never had a problem with this program on my artemis (dopod P800W).....after installation, i waited a couple of minutes until the device turns off automatically and then soft reset.....then set the keyboard to "easy keyboard" as default input....never had a problem after that.....it never popped back.....the only annoying thing is every time you soft reset the artemis, the default input becomes the normal small WM5 standard keyboard, you just have to remember to keep setting the default input again to "easy keyboard" after every soft resets.....thats it.

OK, I found it, thanks.

[cortez.i]

i take it that this tool is not free to the public...true?

[EazyVG]

Anyone found the link as of yet? Also, is it English only or there is one to switch between two languages - i need \english and Russian.

[irv777]

Yeh i tried that one but i found that there was too much dead space inbetween the keys and that i was missing letters easily.

You can just go to the site and then sign up, the software is then in the download section under x500 - pre installed aps - screenkb_eng and it's 815kb. Doesn't look like it's in any other language other than English though.

I have tried to find it but cannot

[obionenairobi]

I found it (easy keyboard)and installed it. very nice......

does some know if there is a QWERTY layout available for the keyboard?

For those that are having problems with the eten easy keyboard not sticking or popping back, install the program "IM selector" or STEP 2 of the installation steps found on this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296455

its called IM_WM5.CAB and set the default input method to easy keyboard

[levante1938]

Thank you very much for your suggestion but, from where can I download the IM_WM5.CAB file?

[irv777]

its from the above thread i mentioned......well its actually part of or within this download link:

http://rapidshare.com/files/19630568...board.rar.html

download and unrar and install IM_WM5.cab

Just tried HappyTapping keyboard, with IM Selector from the above download. I like it!!

In fact I prefer Happy Tapping just as it is, without installing the graphic overlay (which makes the keys smaller!) - I can type on it reasonably well using fingers, even on the small screen of the Orbit - yet it doesn't take up too much room on the screen! Excellent find!
