Can we "downgrade" to the WM5 on-screen keyboard layout? I dont like skins that waste room, I just want the good old fashion WM5 version I have used over the last 2 years back!
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan
*bump* thanks for any input....
Have I stumped this board?
The base Keyboard dll are pretty much the same in WM5 and WM6. If you don't like the skin used on your WM6, you can always cook a new rom from it and replace the keyboard related files - well that's basically the idea but on how to cook and what to replace a bit of research will have to be done of course
one can also just install the skin one wants and use that no building a full rom is required
Try this package, it includes the original white with black letters and alot of others. It should work with your cooked WM6 rom

I figured this out a while ago and forgot about this topic. I am replying to help any searches people may have.
Solved.
To change the keyboard layouts:
While in notes/messaging/email/etc (where you can write) press the arrow to the right of the keyboard. This will open up the menu.
Be sure thet "keyboard" has the dot to the right of it.
Choose "options"
On the first "Input Method" tab, simply choose "small keys".
This will add the numbers on the top row as well as a few other keys that are missing with the "large keys" option.
Hope this helps someone. Cheers,
hi,
i can t stand this automatic text completion when you write sms. oonce you start to write a word, it suggest and select some words that in final turn to be a mess and a nightmare.
i didn t find any option for unactive this auto completion.
is it possible to turn it off?
thxx for helping
best regards

In your keyboard (if youre using full qwerty) theres a key with a switch abc<-->t9 (between shift and space) click on it so the switch goes to abc side-- now your auto word completion is off --- (auto word completion is named as t9 in winmo--I think )
thank you soooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHH
worked like a charm
best regards
HTC use a flavour of T9 auto-completion called xT9. It is used on all three of the HTC keyboards (Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY and Full Qwerty). It's not terrible, but it is a bit quirky. You can get rid of xT9 completely and restore the old T9 auto-completion/correction, which behaves more as you would expect it. Unfortunately the HTC keyboards behave rather unpredictably with the old T9 (the phone keypad just plain won't work!).
Your real alternatives are to stick with xT9 (and turn it to ABC input as necessary) using the HTC input methods... or go back to T9 and use a third party keyboard SIP, or the Windows one.
Does that make it any clearer?
I have an HTC Touch Pro2 from T-Mobile running WinMo 6.1. It seems that under Settings, Personal, Input, the "Word Completion" tab is missing between "Input Method" and "Options" that was there on my previous WinMo 5 device. Is this feature missing from WinMo 6.1 in general, or has it been disabled by T-Mo? if it's been disabled, is there a way to enable it?
yeah it's missing in my Tmo TP2 too. I do miss the auto correction feature that was on that tab.
edit : I did not reading the message right sorry

now will that enable the tab to change the settings in the Input settings or just enable the options? I want the word completion, but not the word suggestion.
tkali is right- they are one and the same. Word completion and word correction are both linked to disabling T9

Quick question about the reg edit. I havetriededitthe first valeu but it tells me access is denied. Is there something I am missing?
I made the registry edits mentioned in the other thread (copied below for reference) but I still don't have the missing Word Completion tab even after a soft reset.
From the other thread referenced above:
Diable eT9. Enable COMP IME. This is a registry edit.
Go to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\layouts\e001 0409
Edit: Ime File = \Windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
Go to: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
Edit: XT9SupportMSSip= 0
That will bring you back to the good old word suggestion and dynamic auto completion.
yeah unfortunately it doesn't bring back the word completion tab, which i was hoping.
What exactly does it do then? I didn't notice any change.
it should enable it so that when you're typing, it'll give you 4 (changeable) suggested words as well as auto-correct some words. (type comming & it'll change to coming)
I like the auto-correct feature on the Tilt/MDA because you could type contractions without the apostrophe & the phone would auto-correct it for you. I hate the word suggestion & always had that turned off.
I don't know why they'd take this tab & feature out of the input settings/phone.
I'm still not getting any suggested words; I used to get them when using the Letter Recognizer (WinMo 5), but I don't get them with that or the QWERTY. I may have inadvertently set the # of words to suggest to 0; do you happen to know the registry setting for that?
I have a friend who has a WinMo 6.1 phone, but not from T-Mobile, and the Word Suggestion tab is visible. Seems there must be a setting for that somewhere that T-Mo disabled for some reason.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but I got Word Completion/Suggestion working just fine on my T-Mo Touch Pro 2 by pressing the XT9 button on the soft keyboard
Doesn't work while using the hardware keyboard though, which may be what you're asking about
yeah, we're talking about the function working with the hardware keyboard
Gotcha! Ignore me then
OK got the word completion to work but now I have no "space" instead I have ".com" there. Anyone have this problem?...Thanks
Does anyone have the factory settings?
I was actually referring to the on-screen input methods, not the slide-out keyboard. On my previous WinMo 5 device, the suggested words appeared regardless of which method I used - Letter Recognizer, QWERTY, etc. That's what was I looking for.
I also discovered what I did wrong - I had an "n" instead of an "m" in the name of the DLL. I corrected that, did a soft-reset and Viola! I have the suggested words now. It's hard to distinguish an "n" and "m" on that small screen.
The tab is still missing under Settings, Input - I would still like to have that visible if anyone figures out how to enable it.
Thanks for the help.
does anyone have the qwerty reg settings, now i no longer have that function all i have is regular keyboard or when qwerty is selected i have just numbers...thanks
Problem solved T-mo Word completion/no space bar
OK here is what I did on my T-mobile TP2 to get word completion working with the space bar (Mine (space bar) disappeared after I did the reg hack) I put these settings in and now I have word completion and the space bar back.
I went to
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\layouts\e001 0409
Edit: Ime File = \Windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = eT9 IME
Go to: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
Edit: XT9SupportMSSip= 0
Now on MY T-mo TP2 I have word Comp and a space bar also. Hope this helps someone...Tj
@TrekkerJmm does SYM on your hardware keyboard still work? (ALT + ,)
I have a Sprint TP2 stock ROM WM6.1...
This problem started, or rather, was discovered when I tried to disable TF3D SMS in favor of Microsoft threaded SMS.
I saw on this PPC geeks thread, a Manila file which, when put in /Windows, would allow me to tap a new SMS and open Microsoft SMS instead of TF3D.
After doing this and soft-resetting, I discovered that my pop-up keyboard was messed up. (ScreenShotA). I was able to get a full keyboard to pop up by tapping the invisible ^ next to the center keyboard soft key (ScreenShotB), however the keys were very small. I opened it up in landscape (ScreenShotC) but the keyboard was the same size with deadspace on either side. I deleted the recently added 47dd6acd_manila file from /windows and reset, but still have this keyboard. I want to get the original keyboard layout back (ScreenShotD).
How do I do it?
Please Help! Thanks!
lol
my guess is you just incidentally disabled the htc kb. i believe that i the standard wm keyboard, look in your settings
I found a solution on PPCGeeks:
set HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\Ime\CurrentET9Style to 0.
I recently upgraded from a T-Mobile Wing to the T-Mobile TP2, and for the most part I am really appreciating the improvements in hardware and software.
One thing that is bugging me, though, is that when texting or writing an email on my Wing I would be offered a list of possible words after typing the first few characters. I could select one with the arrow keys, and then press space to accept. This made typing out messages much faster. Also, it would auto-correct certain words - like changing "i' to "I", or "adn" to "and".
I can't seem to find a place to turn these features on in my TP2.
It originally came with WM 6.1, but I have since upgraded with the official WM 6.5.
Any ideas?
Edit:
I should also mention that I am talking about using the hardware keyboard. I am aware that you can bring up the on-screen keyboard, select XT9, and close the on-screen keyboard - and then you will have word completion functionality, but the setting does not seem to be persistent.
Thanks!
It should work, just open up the keyboard in landscape mode and click the same XT9 key. If not go search for a registry change to have it default to that setting.

My point was kind of that I don't want to open the on-screen keyboard and select XT9. It becomes pretty unwieldy to add those steps every time I slide out the keyboard.
I was hoping that someone could point me to an option setting that I hadn't stumbled across.
It seems an odd bit of functionality to have been removed from the OS, so I was hoping that it was there, but not enabled - make sense?
Thanks for the tip, though

On my phone it was saving XT9 as the default for messages, even after a soft reset. I'm running Mighty Mike's 6.5 sense 2.1. Here is a possible solution (post 7):

Thanks,
My phone is not saving XT9 as a default at all. As soon as I open a new message it is back to ABC mode. I checked the setting in the link that you shared, but mine was already turned on. Seems to make no difference to the hardware keyboard.
Thanks again
