Cab file was be switched to new one

Didn't see anyone working on this in this section (seems focused in Elf right now) thought I would put it out there, seems you can get it working on non touch devices

It works on my Trinity (WM6) but not the symbol page. But I'm ok with it. Like the 'intelligence' of this over T9, but the scroll left and right (on screen) button is a bit too 'small' and near the edge for ease of scrolling. If that can be fixed, it will be even more perfect.

Anyone manage to 'perfect' this beta version?

While it is useable, without the symbol can pose some inconvenience when you need the symbols.

It works fine on my touch. To get the symbols in blue you press and hold the key. It takes a little getting used to so you don't end up with .. but it does work.

For those getting blank screens, this should only happen when you bring up the keypad without selecting a text field. Meaning if you are in a selected text box the keys should display.

Another bug I found was if you install this keypad and then choose another one that you have installed (pocketCM, HTK, etc), it will not display any text. It's like you are typing in white. The cursor advances, but no text displays. I had to un-install this keypad to get my other input methods to work.

It may sound a little obsesive, but I timed myself using this new touch dual keypad and my pocketCM skin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1597831&postcount=21) and every time I was able to type faster and more accurate with the pocketCM version. It was close (1:11 vs 1:08) for a couple sentances. I'm glad to see HTC putting a real finger operational keyboard on the Touch, but for now I will stick with pocketCM.

Nah man, that's a great idea. I think a "type-off" of sorts is a good way to determine what's best; although everyone has difference preferences, I think 90% of us subconsciously type the same.

Its working fine on my Hermes WM6. Still get the blank buttons when trying to use it outside an application. But within application (e.g. Onecontact, IE ect..) all working fine. Even symbol key is working fine.
Its a great keyboard (esp. the T9 version)...First keyboard where the buttons are large and responsive (iv used sooo many now!).

btw...dont forget to softreset after installation before use!

I get all the characters and numbers but the symbols are all blank. I am in the UK. Otherwise it's okay. I personally don't like PocketCM because unless there is lots of free memory it just pops up the default keyboard for me.

^^yeah I found that incredibly annoying, I LOVE this keyboard but I had to uninstall it because the T9 would be there even when using the hardware keyboard!

I installed in the Wizard and it's working fine with English language.
Is there a way to get working also in italian language?

You have to have an app with text available to get keys (kinda weird), open up a txt msg and you should see the keys. It's frustrating cause it includes t9 (blegh) and 20 key but not a regular large keypad (which I'm pretty sure the duo has, I just can't get it to work)

go to the original thread, they have packs for multiple languages availble (kinda deep in the thread)

touchpal sip is the fastest (at least for me) simply because of the word selection options, that kinda functionality on pocketcm (with a larger keypad)=world dominating mobile typing

is this version free of bugs?? wat abt the xt9?

Sian
26-10-2007, 11:57 AM
Yes, it's free of bug.. at least for me, I have no issue using it. :)

I think the Xt9 still present in the default keyboard. Just tested it.

Hey guys,

great input method - thanks for sharing!

Could anyone make a version with German layout and German dictionary?
Ideally as a "ready-to-eat" cab or exe, I'm such an idiot when it comes to tweaking!

Many thanks,

N.

[bump] Anyone?

Any pointers to working German keypads/keyboards would be just as welcome.
