Keyboard settings - HTC IME - user interface - key width adjust.
You can choose how many pixels separate each key on the keyboard. For fatter keys you want less space between keys so choose 0.

[Theme] [PocketCM Keyboard] v1.11 [3/16/2009]

A PocketCM Keyboard .23+ WVGA theme I made for the large of finger so you can worry just about what you want to say instead of trying to spend all your time pecking at each key and getting it right.
Features:
Virtual D-Pad
Long press on any letter to get uppercase.
Long press on almost any key for quick access to similar symbols.
Shift button is caps lock.
I made every key as large (tall (with big layout and wide)) as possible.
Has larger room for correction / allowed mistakes than standard keyboard to allow for less pickiness on large screen (WVGA).
Landscape finally works.
English qwerty.
Optimized as much as possible (including all images) for speed and size of theme.
Hold "!" for "!! "
Hold "?" for "?? "
Hold "," for ".com"
Hold "$" for "€"
Only bugs / quirks I'm currently aware of:
Not sure of what the height for landscape should be. (If you are using a full screen app (such as PocketCM) the current height is great, otherwise..it takes up pretty much the whole screen. Easy to change. Go to settings.ini, and change the last value from 27p to something more like 23p.)
Correction currently will not go through when any symbol is entered. Suggestion will go through only when the following are pressed immediately after a word is entered
space
!
@
Based off Tene's dream theme, so looks are the same.
Credits to of course tene and and also zard for assistance with the virtual keys.
Credits also to MrHawaii of PPCGeeks for a few ideas.
UPDATE 3/16/2009 V1.11
Started over from scratch.
Removed "Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space)." temporarily until I hear further from Tene on how to make it work more correctly.
Made suggestion 19% more forgiving, allowing for 19% further displacement from correct key. Think that is the farthest I will go, though I can bump it up if requested.
Suggestion will currently (until I hear from tene on how to fix it) only go through on the following
space
!
@
UPDATE 3/11/2009 V1.1
Added:
Hold comma key for ".com"
Auto - double space inserted when period, exclamation mark, or question mark pressed.
Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space).
Fixed:
Correction now goes through even on ?!.,
(Isn't actually as blurry as it looks on the thumbnail)
PCMK can be found at pocketcm.com
Updated. Small fixes and enhancements. See OP.
Thanks!
Use it on my Touch HD and its working fine!

Yep that's what's going to do it for you is just the height. I have it set for my device right now. The text box can't be moved / resized (except by tene), but if you lower the height of the whole keyboard then you should be good, I would recommend 24 or so.

Message removed - posted in wrong thread.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for such a great theme! It's by far my favorite.
I was just wondering if you have released a new version of it since V1.11?
I'm not sure if I've found a bug, but, I've noticed that when I use any kind of punctuation (period, question mark, etc) it seems to be added to the beginning of the last word entered. For example instead of "I am home now.", I get "I am home .now". Is this behavior by design, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
ima noob. how do you get your skin to take affect?
Just copy the zip file into the PCM Keyboard folder in Program Files, then in PCM k\'s option choose my theme and then the suitable layout.

[Q] [App Idea] Soft keyboard that only shows numbers while using physical keyboard

I am certainly no developer, but I was wondering if there was a way to make a soft keyboard that would only show a row of numbers while the physical keyboard is in use, but would show a normal full keyboard when only using the soft keyboard. While I love the physical keyboard on the G2, I do miss my G1's 5th row. The way I was thinking this could be implemented is the same way swiftkey works. While using the physical keyboard it still shows predicted words that you can click. What I am describing (possibly not very well) is exactly what swiftkey does, but a row of numbers instead of predicted text.
Is this possible? If something like this already exists I do apologize, I searched around but could not find anything like this. Thanks!
Also this should probably be in themes/apps. I meant to put it there, just clicked on the wrong thing, feel free to move it!

DUDE!!! GENIUS! Thats is a Grade A, #1, winner idea.
if you dont know how to, contact some1 who does....
+1 That is a great idea.
Well, I really wouldn't want a row of numbers to take away from my screen real-estate while I'm browsing the web.
BUT! The G2 does have those new quick keys on it which may come in handy? All we need to is preset one of the quick keys to pop up the numbers row when pressed, and hide it when pressed again.
I think this is a great idea, and would love to see if this could be done. I don't see why someone cant make this into a VERY SIMPLE APP FOR THE G2?

While I certainly don't dislike this idea, and I would totally use it if someone developed it this way, I would prefer it be implemented more like I described above for a couple of reasons.
1. You say you don't want a row of number blocking part of your screen while browsing the web. The numbers, if implemented like SwiftKey does their suggestive text, would only come up when you are in a text field.
2. I don't know, but I feel like using the quick keys would require root, which we don't (permanently) have yet.
3. There are several other phones out there that could benefit from an app like this, such as the droid, droid 2, mytouch slide, etc because they also have a "full" four row keyboard. If we used the quick keys, they wouldn't be able to take advantage of this
+1 to the list of people who think this is a great idea. One of the G2's significant shortcomings is that the keyboard is only 4 rows, which makes typing numbers very cumbersome. This would be a great solution to that problem.
I agree this would be a great idea. Also adding in the spell check bar would make my day. Even with the physical keyboard I sometimes hit the wrong letter or just can't spell a word.

I hope you realize that hitting the alt key twice in a row will put it in a "Alt-lock" mode, so to speak. This will allow you to type numbers without having to hit alt after each number. Of course, you'll have to hit alt one more time to switch back to regular letters.

its a good idea, but if you were to dedicate a key to it, it seems kinda pointless
I mean double-tap ALT will lock number keys. So it doesn't seem like that much of an issue.
great idea tho. How can we make it better?
Best idea since that app that fixed the white G1 backlit key issue lol. Finally have a pirpose for these dumb ass quick keys.
If someone did this right this could be the new swype... preloaded on all 4 row sliders.

love it. i think that could be a great app that i'd for sure use
I'd gladly pay for this. I really hope something comes of this thread.
I made these tonight.
G2NumberKeyboard shows a number row whenever the keyboard is open.
G2NumberToggleKeyboard shows/hides the number row whenever you press and hold the right shift key.
It works ok, but has a few bugs (for instance, sometimes the number row doesn't appear without sliding the screen closed/open, sometimes the number row stays on-screen after leaving the input box, etc).
Install the apk then enable in Settings -> Keyboard
Give it a try and let me know/give feedback.

Software buttons annoyance!

Sent quite a few text messages and emails today and closed both the applications a few times in error as the homepage button is right under the space bar and very sensitive!
I suppose I will get use to it however with time.

It's not too different from having a capacitive button right below the screen. Just need to type a little slower I'd say

Yeah, I'd say having software buttons and having capacitive buttons are both equally bad for this reason. This is why I prefer real physical buttons.

YT guy also agrees with you. Win. Win.
Try a keyboard on which you can set the height of the bottom row. Thumb keyboard for example or smart keyboard. Btw as the developer of thumb keyboard I plan to add an option to add extra space under the bottom row of the keyboard so it floats a bit above the keys.
They just need to make the softbuttons hide when the keyboard is open. Not hide completely but minimize so it would require 2 taps. One to maximize the buttons and one tap to go. Or shuffle them around. Or add a forth softbutton (search?) So the alignment isn't directly below it.
It happens even on my G2x. I think its just growing pains when moving into a larger screen. Going from a Nexus One to a G2x (3.7" to 4") messed up my typing until I got used to it.

I'm working on a update in which I want to include the new spellchecking options offered by Ice cream sandwich. When working on it I also want to look at some options to customize the suggestion model. For now I'm planning to add the new ICS suggestion model as an option. For me it isn't as useful as the current suggestion model used, but I'm sure for others it will fit their typing style better.

That sounds terrific.
Will custom auto corrections be in an update after that? I think since everyone types a little differently and thus makes their own mistakes, custom auto corrections will go a long way in helping everyone's typing. For example, I know I constantly hit "km" instead of "I'm". It'd be great if I could set up a custom correction where every single "km" typed will correct to "I'm."

Virtual buttons are awesome. They just need tweaks. Perhaps just reordered. Or perhaps make the icons further down on the screen and make the hit area smaller while the keyboard is up. There are lots of solutions.

They are virtual? (I had to guys.)
For starters? No physical buttons = bigger screens for the same real estate since you don't have to have the space for actual physical buttons and as an added bonus less complexity and chance of something physical breaking or going wrong in the device since it's all screen. You could argue that costs come down do to less hardware and time to actually make a device that's all screen. I'd also say if you wanted to add something down the line with the virtual buttons it's easy: software tweak.
You can do a lot more with software than you can with hardware.

I don't like this trend...

... of apps ignoring the menu key.
I've always preferred the menu - home - back layout Samsung has stuck with. It just feels more natural to me... Now though I'm starting to think the new Android design guidelines are going to pose a big usability problem.
Especially on big phones like the GS3, having to reach to the top of the phone to get at common options is an annoyance at best. Mint is one of the latest apps to implement the new design guidelines that renders the menu button useless.
I hope the development community can come up with a workaround - if they haven't already. Anyone know of efforts to remap or otherwise keep the menu button useful?
Its not really the dev community that controls the design guidelines.. as you know google updates them with each iteration of Android. The problem here is, starting from the Galaxy Nexus, none of Google's phones have come with a menu button. Google believes this is better (for some reason) and so all the design guidelines are trending towards making the menu button obsolete.
Samsung on the other hand is slowly becoming the only manufacturer to persist with the menu button.
From a development perspective, its easy enough to support devices with/without a menu button, with the same piece of code. I feel the main reason big Android apps are moving to the Holo bar menu button is for uniformity like in iOS (which is what Google wants in the first place)
There are roms that let you easily re-assign the menu button. For example, I have menu bound to recent apps (android standard is back, home, recent apps) with long press recent apps as menu for those few cases where apps still use the menu button.
As much as you may like the menu button it is more than on its way out at this point. Despite what samsung has been building their phones with.

50% of the reason I like a physical home button is because for me, it's easier to power up the phone...and more natural, less effort etc. I also go into standby by an upward gesture on my homescreen so on/off is very quick and handy.
The other half is that I have more screen real estate.

Uniformity is huge, have you seen that picture with the buttons of around 10 android popular phones in which none of them have the same buttons/order.
Also, as an ex-galaxy nexus user, I must say that on-screen buttons are FAR better than what we have. The only down side is lost screen space in most apps (some stuff does go full screen). But the customizability of the software buttons is SO NICE. you can change the size of the bar, the colour, what buttons are there, what the icons are. The slide for google now is much more intuitive that long pressing menu. XDA devs have even added the ability to add what ever you want to the google now slide up gesture. (including widgets).
The software bar is simply a modder's wet dream
Sure uniformity is cool, but what's more uniform than a menu key that's just there all the time? I don't even have to think about it; I want settings/options, I press the menu key. This has honestly been one of my favorite design elements of Android. I hate that this is being phased out.
Ah well, nothing I can do about it.

It's 2 parts...but super simple and turbo quick!
I use Go Launcher EX. Many of the custom launchers have Gesture ability. (unlike stock TouchWiz) There are 2 types of gestures in GLex. The one I use is an upward gesture anywhere on any home screen. (you could choose an icon in the dock as well) and it's not the Gesture Pad feature. For me, this works well as I never find myself swiping upwards on the home screen except to initiate SCREEN OFF....although I have requested them to add a 2 finger swipe for extra control.
The 2nd part is an app called "screen off and lock" which I have been using for years. I tell GLex to execute SOAL with an upward gesture on the home screen. Works flawlessly. (GLex has it's own plugin for screen off...but it is laggy)
SOAL also has CRT similar fx and other options. But I just use the clean screen off effect and it's INSTANT. I literally can turn on my S3 with my physical home button, swipe to unlock. then swipe up to lock/screen off in under a second...and keep repeating...no lag. (that's not what I use it for per-say...but just to show that it is fast...all with my thumb in a close proximity area.)
Just got it all set up and I'm loving it so far. Thanks a lot

You can do this in main TouchPal settings.
Settings > language & input > virtual keyboard > touchpal > general settings
Not number row, this useless row above for word prediction with touchpal icon. It uses space.

Ahh, I use that word prediction, so not useless and to me. Can you link me to the iOS MOD, so I can take a look, please.

Thank you. Interesting. I took a quick look at the .akp decompiled, and couldn't find much as far as turning it off, but I'm not the best person for this. Terrible overlook on Touchpals part for those whom aren't using the word prediction. Wish I could have been of help.Best of luck.
Use gboard.. much better
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I did not ask you for advice regarding using other keyboard afaik.
And no, gboard is not better.
Is it possible to add a row of arrow keys at the bottom of the keyboard for navigation purposes?

No, but there's an edit panel button, inside you can find arrow keys, copy and paste some functions like that.
when turning on the number row the number pad is still there .-. why?
It's a garbage app... Search for the original htc ime v8.00xxx I forget the whole number... Lot simpler and works fine
