Touch Cruise touch-keyboard layout

[Nieda]

Hi everybody,

I got my Touch Cruise and I think it's a great device. The "new" touch-keyboard is neat, but I would like to use a different layout like on this screenshot:

I think this layout is by default in the system, because it started it when I was asked to type my WLAN password. After I did it, this layout "disappeared" and I can't get it to show up again.

So where is the magical switch to use this layout?

Thanks in advance.

I wanted to use the SIP you mention above as well, but was unable to find a way to select it. I'm not sure why it's not an option in the HTC rom, but it is disappointing.

This is not a solution to your question, but maybe something useful anyway:

Have you looked into PocketCM Keyboard? (http://pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php) it is a great option and I love it when used with the iPhone skin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349647) developed by 2manyphones.

If you decide to try this, you will need to install sipchange (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008) by sleuth225 which will allow you to keep PocketCM as your default SIP even after a soft reset.

Hope this helps - and if you figure out how to get the orginal HTC qwerty, let us know!

I have fallen for CooTek's TouchPal Pro. You can use it in predictive text mode or precise entry. It also has a boat load of useful features like input strings (ie. www.<site>.com), a resizeable input panel, and many others.

I have used Resco Keyboard Pro (V3) and PocketCM (with iPhone skin). TouchPal pro is by far the best and most polished solution (IMHO).

This layout appears when you enter passwords or URL's etc, but yes, don't think you can select it as a main SIP even with a sip changer.

I don't like it as a normal keyboard anywys, you have to press the stupid symbol button to get a period.

Hi,

I´m using the PocketCM Keyboard from here (http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php) , which is close to perfect.
You really might want to take a look at that, especially with the available Touch-skin.

edit: btw the ContactManager itself is very good too.
oh, and hello to everyone..

Thanks for all the replies, I'll look around.

Cheers.

It must be possible to use this layout as a standard. But I don't know how. But I think it should be possible by editing the registry.

Has anyone a clue how to do this?

I'm using PocketCM, which is ok. Think I will try some of the other ones to see if they're any better. Some ppl swear by them on here. It's just annoying when you have Opera 9.5 and the stock HTC keyboards don't work. So you try and select the pocketCM keyboard but just pulling up the input changer menu takes like 5 secs (see the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375260 post by another user). then when the menu finally shows up and I select pocketCM and it brings up the crappy default windows qwerty keyboard. i have no idea why it does that. sometimes i'll get lucky and it will actually show the pocketCM keyboard. and if I do get the pocketCM keyboard, then that one leaves a space between every character. it's all very annoying and confusing as you can see. either way I've never seen the keyboard in the first screenshot.
