On Screen Keyboards

[nicelad_uk]

Hi there,

I'm usually in the Blackstone or Rhodium forums and have a mate who has the Xperia X1 and asked me about the on screen keyboards.

Looking at this phone, he only has the normal on screen keyboard which needs the stylus to be used, is there anyone out there that has the "Full QWERTY" and "Phone Keypad" Keyboards as a cab to install?

Thanks

search for FINGER KEYBOARD 2.1 or something like that. it's much better than the se kb.

Are u serious?

what's the point of a software keyboard when u have a hardware one?

imho, the best solution even is to install nullkeyboard to stop the annoying software keyboard from popping up.

Try SPB Keyboard. Its great

Hi, Although u have the slider keyboard already, but for obvious reasons one may need a software keyboard too. Try SPB Keyboard (just google it and u get the links). It also gives u lot many plugins to shoose from various layouts/options of keyboard.

I have been using it for long and its works great on X1.

Although hardware keyboards are great, you need two hands to use them. When you want to send a quick message or send something quick on Twitter etc, one hand is prefered, hence the Software Keyboard is needed.

Yup, have used it on my Blackstone and Rhodium, very good indeed. Only problem is my friend wants the stock HTC one.

I used the Touch IT Blackstone keyboard set which includes a handy keypad, simulating a normal phone pad. I mostly use it for one-handed sms.

The filename is Touch-IT Blackstone Keyboard.cab or something, so a search would probably yield results.

Tried fingerkeyboard, Blackstone and SPB one. Actually I'm with the xT9 keyboard, that id the official finger-friendly keyboard that SE ships with the R3A ROM release. It is by far the best one I've ever tried.
Try it, it's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494026

The xT9 is the best keyboard. The only one you can use with one hand!

It is working fine except hardware keymapping - QWERTY FN key is not working well. need to surf to find answer..

that was my issue... there's other ezinput 2.0 that i've got/tried...
and the fn keys are outputting different things...

ezinput 1.5 works BUT has smaller keys and the font is messed up (courier?)

oh well

still eager for someone to fix this issue...

 

[mkouk]

what about the issue that older EzInput keyboards had with the predictive text on the X1i?

I remember when i installed 1.5 it would no longer pre-populate names as i was typing in the To: section for a text message

 

[ryousuke]

dont really care about t9 or predictive text...

i just want to type and use the fn key to properly output numbers rather than using sym all the time >.<
