Alternative keyboard for Artemis

I just thought i'd share this little nice app for our Artemis......it beats the small microscopic keyboard that WM5 comes with......i got this from an eten x500 device and its also available for download from the eten-users forum website.......this is what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

can you share the name of this app?

I'd like to know too!

E-ten calls it Easy Keyboard......i tried looking for it everywhere but apparently its only available for eten devices......there are other similar software out there but the design is not as good as this one......

thanks for the fast follow up... looks like SPB Keyboard is my best option at the moment.

no worries, and yeah i use to have the spb full screen keyboard aswell in portrait or landscape mode but i don't like the fact that you have to assign the program to a hardware key to launch it.....i prefer something to come up automatically like the standard keyboard, if you know what i mean.

I am member of the eten-users forum, but I can't find from where it could be downloaded. Can you help?
cheers

I've downloaded it from the eten-users ftp server, X500 directory.
The problem with this software is that it is not running properly in the Artemis. It opens and seems to run properly, then, after some time of usage, it pop back. Then, you cannot keep the keyboard up while typing, it pops back constantly.
It's a pity since this keyboard is most useful. If somebody can provide the solution, I'll appreciate.

that's weird......i never had a problem with this program on my artemis (dopod P800W).....after installation, i waited a couple of minutes until the device turns off automatically and then soft reset.....then set the keyboard to "easy keyboard" as default input....never had a problem after that.....it never popped back.....the only annoying thing is every time you soft reset the artemis, the default input becomes the normal small WM5 standard keyboard, you just have to remember to keep setting the default input again to "easy keyboard" after every soft resets.....thats it.

OK, I found it, thanks.

i take it that this tool is not free to the public...true?

Anyone found the link as of yet? Also, is it English only or there is one to switch between two languages - i need \english and Russian.

there is another great keyboard app.....see thread below

Yeh i tried that one but i found that there was too much dead space inbetween the keys and that i was missing letters easily.

You can just go to the site and then sign up, the software is then in the download section under x500 - pre installed aps - screenkb_eng and it's 815kb. Doesn't look like it's in any other language other than English though.

can someone please upload the e-ten easy keyboard software?
I have tried to find it but cannot

I found it (easy keyboard)and installed it. very nice......
does some know if there is a QWERTY layout available for the keyboard?

For those that are having problems with the eten easy keyboard not sticking or popping back, install the program "IM selector" or STEP 2 of the installation steps found on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296455
its called IM_WM5.CAB and set the default input method to easy keyboard

Thank you very much for your suggestion but, from where can I download the IM_WM5.CAB file?

its from the above thread i mentioned......well its actually part of or within this download link:

hi again
this app is really promising and it is really fast. I love it!!!! And it has it own contact manager!! Finally! Because the default windows one was making me crazy
I would like to help you and translate it into french I will send you ASAP my translation dude
But I haven't seen any config tool in order to change the language, so If i want to put it into french on my device do I need to update your eng.xml and translate everything here into french ?

Thanks a lot mate Installed it and its looks Great But my language for certain parts has changed to Russian

yeh there are some translation missing foe the english version

Icontact only uses 848kb of memory usage ? But this looks very nice .
Hope there will be a dutch translation
I've just check the original thread and saw there already is a dutch version right? But only ment for VGA?
Will there be a dutch translation for the WVGA or can I just install the VGA version?

The Dutch translation for VGA should work fine. However the author who posted the cab modified the screen for the dialer so I don't know if it's going to work 100%. Please give it a try and let me know.

You can open the YotaContact.zip file that the cab creates and inside there is a Language Folder. You can modify the Russian one or create a new one for your own language.

Thick Question :
How is this different from PCM Contacts ?
It looks incredibly similiar.
What's the selling point ? More features ? Or is it speed / smaller footprint ?
I'm not questioning it's value...Some of you already sound like you are enjoying it. Just want to know what it does!

I've just installed the app on my touch HD and it looks better than PCM Contacts for me... the interface is very well designed, all functions are easily accessible: eg. search contact, edit details, add contact, etc... because there are more buttons... and i love also the little details for the contact and the switch from professionnal details to personnal details with the touch switch...
just 2 drawbacks:
- qwerty keyboard (azerty is missing, or it would be nice to have the option for the defaut SIP)
- some russian words (I,ve just seen the word for filter by "company" which is in russian)... and french translation would be very nice

Also, is this (and other Yota applications) Freeware ?

How do I sort the list by first name? I couldnt find an option for that. Please help me.

this is how the hd programs should have looked like and operated fromt he start.It's absolutely great and if the things on the to do list are done it will be a must in every cooked rom if not original ones I really hope there are some experts out there to help with that

the only way I have sorted contacts by first name is to put the WHOLE name in one field as opposed to first name field and last name field.

An annoying issue which will probably send me looking for another keyboard soon:
Parentheses appear backwards when typed in RTL box.

2. now if i type parentheses they appear backwards

Swype v3.26 Beta not yet compatible

As of November 26th, 2011, the latest Swype beta Swype v3.26.92.36178 (http://www.multiupload.com/IALPY1J32T) does not yet work.

I wonder if 720x1184 is the size of the screen apart from the space reserved for the soft buttons. I hope to see Swype soon, touch pal isn't really the same and it is mis-sized as well on gn

I too started using Swype since Galaxy S I, it became a habit and I just can't type well without it. While waiting for Swype's support, I searched the market and found a software called SlideIt, very similar to Swype in fact it worked just fine ever since I've got my Nexus, no screen size problems at all. Give it a try guys, I'm still using the demo while waiting for Swype, or I might just buy the full version.

This is the apk of Galaxy Note if anyone wants to try it.

Same here, I also got the error message already before installing it.
I hope they will make a compatible version soon, but I find that since the screen is so big, thumb-typing like on a BlackBerry device works surprisngly well with the Nexus.

This link is already on the other Galaxy Nexus/Swype thread on XDA, but posting here for completeness: http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?4798-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-and-or-720p-ETA
In short, the issue is that the Swype installer checks the resolution, and because of the soft keys, the reported resolution actually has 96 px chopped off the end to accommodate the soft keys.
John

still?
Has there been any development here or is Swype on Galaxy Nexus still a no-go?
What a bummer! I was just about to click the "order" button for a new Galaxy Nexus and then noticed this issue. Without Swype, I'll just stick with my 2-year-old Nexus One for now, thank you.

ICS+Swype
Was reading the ICS/GNex thread on Swype, and just to confirm. Swype has no issues with ICS per say, it is the screen size that is screwy for some reason. Additionally, i have found that improperly acquiring the app can cause issues (for example getting it from somebody else etc). I am enrolled in the beta programme, have been since pre-nexus days, so i just requested a downloaded the installer via the email.
Not sure why it's not compatible since the first few post on that thread says "swype officially supports 720p resolutions". It even works with the new ICS Style "add words" thing, as opposed to the old way to add words to the swype dictionary with the pop up, it seems to use the ICS Custom dictionary.

In all honesty I'm using Slideit for now and its a great replacement. It even has an ICS theme and is $0.10 today

Me too -- I was heartbroken at losing Swype, but have adjusted to SlideIt and am now happy with it. There are some SlideIt touches I'm even finding preferable.

Swype does not support the screen because of the buttons at the bottom.

Swype is now (somewhat) working for GNex!
I was reading droid-life comments and one guy mentioned this post on G+ about a modded Swype for the tuna.
The application works correctly on in portrait mode. He post mentioned using Keyboard Manager to switch between Swype and Android Keyboard for portrait and landscape.
Unfortunately for a noob, I can't post the link to the post. Just search "swype for galaxy nexus" on Google Plus.
I have Swype back now! Enjoy!

Wow, Thank you very much dude, work perfectly !

Does anyone know what is fixed inside that HTC IME file you linked? I have been using a skinned HTC IME for a year or so and would like to keep using it. The file you linked works perfect but is just stock HTC IME. The IME I have and have made different kinds of, fails still.

fixed it for me too!
Hello,
I was also having the same crashing problem with this keyboard when i installed it on ice cream sandwich ics on my samsumg galaxy s2 which made me sad.
I have tried getting into swype, swift key and better keyboard but no decent compact qwerty option for these.
I have been using the htc_ime mod since discovering the original stock version it on my old HTC hero years ago.
I love this keyboard mainly because its the only compact qwerty keyboard for android that's actually any good.
I encourage the brains behind this mod to continue to fix issues and support for new versions of android in the future. Seems like i'm not the only loyal follower of this mod.
Thanks for fixing it
A very happy customer

Will this work on 4.0.4 with ff18 agat recovery? The zip will not install.

Unfortunately ICS broke the HTC_IME keyboard and since many of us love both the full QWERTY and T9 functions, I have gone and "fixed" some of the existing themed versions that are currently out there.
I am not trying to take credit for the work others have done so I will link to the respective threads and mention names where appropriate.
For starters, the credit for the Modded HTC_IME goes to jonasl who initially created the keyboard and released the source code for us all to use. His thread is found here.

Thanks for the response XperienceD, I have looked over those and I was able to get the HTC IME MOD keyboard working. I just don't understand what the deal is with prediction. It suggests words above the keyboard is that not prediction? And if the highlighted one is what you want pressing space enters that word.
