£ sign on keyboard

Having done a search of the forums I have found a cab file for the HD2 which will put the £ sign as a long press on the f button but cannot find anything for android.
Does anybody know if this has been done for the android on the desire as this would make it much easier to select than having to go through to the 2nd page of the numbers screen. Or if the $ sign can be changed to £. Thanks in advance.

Hmm I get the feeling you will probably have to install a customisable keyboard

Would be as simple as editing the IME. I say simple... I don't know how to do it, but know it can be done.

Thanks for the reply,s is there anybody out there that could edit the IME as I don't even know what it is. It would be handy for UK and maybe European desire owners on the long press on the F button if we could choose between the £ and Euro sign.
Thanks Again

Oops sorry didn't read the op's message properly.

There's someone who's edited the keyboard to have a microphone icon on it. You could try contacting him and asking him if he would consider adding the £ sign in the next release?
I don't have time to search but there's a topic on it somewhere in this forum.

Thanks I have just left a message on that thread

Edit htc ime mod keyboard?

Hi - How can i edit the keyboard so there is a £ sign instead of a $ sign when you do a long press f?

I'd like to know this too.
I can't believe they burried the UK £ sign in page 2 of the extra characters.
Can someone provide a 1 button hack?

Well, not really a 'hack'.. and perhaps a bit dirty as well
But if you use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
And then in worst case you can add the £ sign as a smiley, and then it's a near 1 button solution (or you just use the £ sign instead of smileys, that'll do just fine as well!).
I'm not sure if it's possible to change keys with that mod as well (only looked it at for like 5 seconds), but I'm sure some customizing is possible. So perhaps other stuff next to smileys and .com stuff is editable!

Thanks - i am running that mod already - good idea to put it in the smiley's section
If anyone can come up with a way to actually modify the long press f key though that would be great - not only for us brits but i'm sure the europeans wouldn't mind a € sign & obviously other currency signs too would apply...

I'm using V27 and whilst the F key shows a $ symbol, if I long press on 'F', I get a pop-up with $, € and £. No need to go to 2nd page. See screenshot.

Cool - thanks for letting us know - i didn't even try that as i never have the need to do a long press F - always went to the 2nd extra characters page... :-D

I see that inamak got his wish, but for the other custimizations is there any way to edit the characters that appear after a long press? I am also using HTC IME mod on Froyo.

Especially since the phone released in Europe first. It should have has the £ and € pop up first. Luckily I'm in Australia....

[APP] Plants Vs. Zombies game .APk

i found this over at the nexus one apps and themes section. It is in chinese but you can change the language to english.
-steps to turn into english-
first open the game and you will get a little popup with 2 choices click the left one. after that you should get a load up screen that says "team Top3"
after that it will take you to the log in screen and press the middle button.
It will take you to the registration screen, fill in the following:
Username:
Password:
Repeat Password:
then hit the button to register.
Enter your credentials in the log in screen and press the right button this time.
once you log in keep on pressing the most right green button until you get to another loading screen that has plants popping up from the floor. once that finishes loading press the button underneath the loading bar and you'll finally be at the homescreen with a tomb stone.
Once logged into the tombstone screen click the second pot from the left at the bottom of the screen and you should see "EN" with a check box.

can you link to where you found it? Kind of skeptical

sure i found it here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934017

Wow I can't create a log in I keep getting an error message. I use all the formats I tried numbers and letters for username started numbers then letters for my pass still can't get it to work. I clicked the middle button to register by the way coz it started on the log in screen with two empty bars. Am I doin this right?

haha from what I've read, this is a just a clone, but a really well made one
pretty sweet if you ask me, it should hold a lot of people over until the official is released

has anyone checked to see if this thing is pulling any personal data in the background? There are wall papers on the MARKET with some malicious code.. it'd be pretty easy to sneak some into a game as popular like this and sheer the sheep.

I've heard that the internet access permissions are for a chinese gaming score system or something that probably doesn't apply to most of you here but there's a bunch of people using the app with no problem or compromised data...but use at your own risk I guess

damn closes with no error after developer splash screen, epic 4g

thank you
this worked out great after figuring out that you need at leat 4 letters and 3 numbers in ur password and i put a number in my name just to make sure. Thanks again.

I have tried all formats for name/pw as well and nogo, can't someone just take the apk apart and make it english by default so we can at least know what error we are getting?

Took me a couple times to get it right. Ultimately, just kept following his directions n it worked.

Actually its quite awful. Very poorly made, low resolution, and not that fun. There is an APK floating around that doesn't require the login, but I'm not going to bother digging it up again, since its probably warez.
Better off to play the copy cat "Leave Devil Alone" or wait until the real PVZ comes out from Popcap.

I actually think it got good res in my opinion. It looks like the real thing.

Swype beta!!!

It has been brought to my attention that posting the apk itself is against site rules so I have removed the link. I have however left the official website link for anyone that wants the app just visit the site and download the apk. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Just go to http://beta.swype.com/ and register to test!

Is this for Beta 1.3?

Beta 1.3

Yes it is,

Thanks for the post.I had the beta installed a few weeks back but all of a sudden it stopped working a few days ago so now it's working again with the new beta

It's abit troublesome if you need to use numbers snd decimal points, you need to switch from alphabet to numeric in order to get it. I think they should add decimal point in the numerical pads too without switching to and fro.

It is against XDA rules to post Swype as a standalone apk.

Why????

It's a free apk at the moment while it's in BETA, if it is against the rule I will remove it but I thought been as it's a FREE BETA it would be no problem??? Am I wrong???

If you hold down the button that changes to numeric it brings up a different numeric pad with decimal point, enjoy!

Been using this for a while now and works flawlessly! Really liking the keyboard themes

Switching from languages need a long press.

Which really really sucks if you use two languages.
Anyway, Swype was never very supportive for people that used more than one language. Even the version where you press a single button to switch languages, sometimes it doesn't change at all, and when it does, it's always less snapier than any other keyboard I have tried.

Using stock prediction more worse than swype.

Did you know the shortcut to change language on swype?
Swipe your finger from the swype button to the spacebar. You don't need to longpress anything.
There are several more shortcuts, it's in the settings, you can look after.

Everybody makes mistakes.No hard feelings

Tried this one cause the Samsungs continues input doesn't work. Afrter a quick testing, this one is worth trying if you wanna use swiping for text input.

Yes! :good:
In case anyone is having trouble with the quick language switch gesture, you just have to make sure to select a second active language before you can toggle between languages.

I just sent an Support ticket to Swype asking if there's an option to export/import words of/to the user dictionary of Swype and additionally asking if there is a general problem with dictionaries bigger than about 1300 words. Swype worked miserable for me as my dictionary grew this big. I had to manually delete words to solve this probleme and I was quite a bit annoyed...

yes me too, I think I did contact them about a year ago. they said no. if they do help you let me know
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

The support answered me, that the export is not possible and thats really bad.
The import is annoying but no big thing. Just make an long txt file, one word a line. You can't import all the words at once, but if you mark about twenty of them and then long press the Swype key you will be pretty quick importing 1200 words - what I did in about 20 minutes or so.
