the ps3 minikeyboard has that, but you have to switch mode with a button. the alphabetic keys work like the touchpad then and shoulderbuttons are left & right mouse

Can anybody hint me of a thread that describes how to change the layout? I have a Keysonic ACK-340BT with scandinavian layout. But the Galaxy has the US/UK layout maped...

Hi all!

Typing on the Galaxy is... not optimal.

So I'm looking for a wireless but small keyboard (like this: http://www.meritline.com/acrylic-mini-bluetooth-keyboard-clear---p-47990.aspx) , connection with the SGS should be via BT (or is WLAN better?). Which keyboard is recommended?

Thanks,
LB

I use a Palm 3245ww foldable BT keyboard. It works for me.

Do you think the one below would work?

I know its for the iphone 4, but I'm sure with a little glue and some duck tape my Galaxy S2 would fit.

Sorry, I can't post links yet, just change xx to tt.

I own this keyboard. Just tried it.
Works flawlessly
Also the touchpad.
Menu function is on the F1 key.

Greetings

It may work with the glue but might be a bit difficult to keep the duck still

Have somebody try SGS with LOGITECH DINOVO??

 

[tiuk]

From the very first post:

EDIT: Although I believe any HID-based keyboard/mouse should work, here is an ongoing list of those confirmed by users to work -

- Palm 3245WW BT keyboard, fully working on JPH and JPK ROM's.
- The wireless (bluetooth) apple keyboard
- Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 fully working on JPH & JPK ROM's.
- Logitech Dinovo Working like a charm. Keyboard as well as the mouse.
- DealExtreme Mini Bluetooth keyboard
- SU-8W is a go!
- Logitech DiNovo EDGE
- KeySonic "Super Mini Keyboard" ACK-340BT works, including the touchpad

In my experience every bluetooth hid device I've tried has worked fine.

I have a samsung galaxy spica and would like to get a sliding keyboard for it. So I came up with the following idea:
I'm planning to buy a bluetooth slide out keyboard case for an iphone, and file some edges off so the top is flat, to then glue the keyboard case to my back cover.
I'd first need to know if the keyboard works with rooted android 2.2 software wise?

The specifications have no mention of HID or SPP compatibility.
For examples of the keyboard cases I mentioned, google for:
BLUETOOTH SLIDE-OUT KEYBOARD BACK CASE ebay
NUU MiniKey iPhone 4 Keyboard slide out case

I know this thread is meant for the Samsung Galaxy S, but it's android 2.2 as well.

I know its spelt "duct". I grew up calling it duck tape so thats how I spell it.

Happy to report I found a fix for the mouse pointer on cm7. I think when the person who posted it intended it for either the evo or gtablet, don't remember exactly because I read a lot of search results that dealt with this. I'm linking to a cwm flashable zip. Note that when I tested this I did not flash it, I placed the .jar file it contains in my /system/framework dir and rebooted, but I see no reason why flashing should be a problem since the .jar is the only change it contains. also note that flashing a new nightly will most likely remove the .jar and you will have to replace it. I tested this on my i896 captivate and it works perfectly.


[edit]Guess I was wrong, it was for the vega. As I said, worked great for me.

Hi, and thanks for the file!

Tried to flash the zip with CWM, but that didn't work, may be due to the different model of phone? (I have the GT-I9000 runningDarkyROM 10.2EEF.)

Then I went your way and used ES File Explorer and placed the .jar file in the /system/framework dir and rebooted, but the mouse pointer is still there!

Do I have to do something else? Tried the aLogCat and the only thing I could see of intrest (though this is way beyond my skills) was
"com.broadcom.bt.service.hid.action.STATE_CHANGED" when I activated the BT Keyboard!

Guess I'm not alone with the mouse pointer problem using BT Keyboard with the GT9000!

Thanks for any help!

Best regards!

Actually, I was having the opposite problem. My bt keyboard has a trackpad , but at the time of my post cm7 wouldn't display the pointer, so I was looking for a way to add it (it was later added anyway).

You have the opposite problem; you want to hide the pointer. All you should need to do is remove the appropriate .jar. The name may vary, but it seems to usually be com.nvidia.graphics.jar

You could always compare the contents of the one I posted to the one you intend to remove to verify that they are the same.

Actually, I did a bit if digging. The most simple fix would be replacing /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-nodpi/pointer.png with a transparent png. Simply deleting pointer.png or subbing in a 0 byte file might work too, but may cause errors, not sure.

Yes, they work. The keys are mushy and it's not the best. I'd recommend the rii mini instead, it's the one from deal extreme that I posted elsewhere on the thread. Keys are much better, it's backlit, has a dpad, and a trackpad.

For the record, I own both. here's the other one:

well the price difference is a bit much for me, the noname keyboard costs about 8 bucks on ebay while rii mini costs 40 bucks on dealextreme

has anybody heard about iPazzPort mini pro? looks like the rii mini but about half the price (http://www.ipazzport.com/10btt.html)
