I use a third-party Asian IME (input method editor) to display Asian characters.
This IME used to work really well with other phones, but with TP2, some of the symbols don't come out well.
For example, Fn+H comes out as "\", not ";" , and Fn+J comes out as "/" not ":". The latter problem is very annoying, because it basically prevents entering web address with the sliding keyboard.
When I raised this issue with the developer, they said the IME has worked with almost every PDA-phone, including Touch Pro, but the non-Microsoft standard keyboard layout of Touch Pro2 is keeping it from working properly and there is nothing they can do about it.
Is it true that the keyboard layout of TP2 does not conform to some kind of Microsoft standard?
If so, is there any way to fix it?

I have a P3300 with a Norwegian rom (WM5).
I use the software keyboard a lot, but I would like to use the one with the big keys.
When I have the keyboard with the big keys, I cannot find the following two signs: ! ?
Do any of you know where they are, or (if they are indeed missing) a way to customize the keyboard so that I can have access to those highly essential signs...?
I would hate to have to use the keyboard with small keys...
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.
If you have a AT&T tilt 2 and want to have numbers on the top as in some previous htc devices, do the following changes:
Be sure that:
HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0
Change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e0010409
•Ime File: \windows\et9ime.dll --> Ime File: \windows\compime.dll
•Layout Text : ET9 IME --> Layout Text : COMP IME
Soft reset and you're done!
but you lose the features of hardware keyboard symbols, unless you can have it memorized.
A better method would just replace the keyboard with an original Touch Pro 2 like what many have done with the original TP, except this hardware change isn't every easy on the TP2.
I would love to change the tilt 2 keyboard to the regular tp2 keyboard with the numbers accross the top, but i cant see paying what the keyboard cost at this time. eventualy i will do it to all the tilt 2's in the house

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
True, this hint is for those who do remember where the symbols are assigned. Alternatively, symbols can be accessed using FN mode.
It's so stupid on AT&T's part to change the layout of the keyboard on the Tilt2, honestly who uses the number pad on the keyboard to dial phone numbers.
Can anyone tell me where to find the replacement keyboard for TP2?
i wonder why froyo's stock android keyboard is missing Cyrillic letter yer (Ъ, ъ) AKA the hard sign? it's present on all avail layouts of Eclair including HTC's one or smartkeyboard pro for example.
it has to be on the primary layout or something like the long key press on the soft sign (Ь, ь), another letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, but it's not.
how i supposed to write text without it?!
Lucky you, on my Galaxy S froyo JPM I can't even found the cyrillic keyboard....
It also misses Croatian letter đ.
There are some good keyboard alternatives, so you should look up.
I am using Smart Keyboard.
The Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard is available with non-US layouts? Or it has some button to add accents to letters? I need to write in Italian, and without accents (or a handy way to input them) the keyboard would be useless...
Any update on this?
I'm looking for a cheap UK keyboard for my xoom.
All the ones I can see either:
look awful (iPad keyboard),
Small return key (I find annoying)
US layout (@ on 2 key, and no £ sign)
Too expensive
Not too fussed about the official one as the shortcut keys don't seem to bother me that much - I just want it for any heavy typing I may do...
