Opening Keyboard = Search?

before, when i opened the keyboard, it would automatically pull up the search function. Its not longer doing it now, just displaying the home screen ... what did i do?
I've never been able to bring up search by opening the keyboard, but if you start typing then the search will start up.

I'm thinking when opening up the keyboard you hit the search button, therefore opening up search. Don't think it would just open automatically when opening keyboard

Yeah, or he's on the homescreen when opening the keyboard and accidentally pressing keys.

No, even starting to type on the keyboard doesn't give the search option anymore. It used to work just by opeing the keyboard, I swear.

[Q] Gingerbread Keyboard

Gingerbread Keyboard for Rooted Devices
Gingerbread Keyboard is out for the DroidX and Droid2. Are there any developers that can help get it ported to the Incredible??
I flashed it and it works on the inc too.
Roger that, its working for me. Its taking a bit to get used to the keys in landscape mode though. They seem a bit flat.

Troubleshooting Menu Bar on Home Screen

Anybody ever have problems with the menu bar on the home screen? My phone will not let me open the menu which would allow me to see all the apps on my phone. My daughter somehow managed to put one of her game apps icon where the menu button goes on the home screen. I'm running android 2.2 using cyanoginger 1.1, I've never had any problems except this one. Anyone have any solutions or suggestions? I made a youtube video but I can't post the link here just yet, the site says I need more post replys. If you go to youtube and type in "troubleshooting mytouch 3g slide" it should pop out. Thanks a bunch fir any help!

I'm asuming you talking about the button that opens the app drawer. All u need to do is touch and hold an empty space on ur homescreen, launcher actions, then open drawer, then drag that icon to the place where the game icon is. Hopefully that was clear enough

I did what u said but after I touch an empty space on my homescreen no where does it say "launcher actions." It just says widget, wallpapers, shortcut, and folders. Am I suppose to choose one of these options?

its press and hold open space, short cut, launcher activities, open app draw, when it creates it on the desktop drag it onto where the game button is
This happened to me right after I rooted and scared the crap out of me... But a google search lead me to the answer

For some odd reason I don't have the option "launcher activities" after I choose shortcut. Did I forget to install something after I flashed the ROM?
Edit: Never mind guys I found it. It was under the "custom shortcut" deal. I feel like such a nooob!! Thanks for all the help, appreciate it!

(Q) issue with swiftkey and qwerty hardware keyboard??

So I downloaded swiftkey free version yesterday to test it out. Its nice but for some reason it is still on when I flip out into super-text/qwerty keyboard time. This makes using the qwerty impossible because swiftkey doesn't recognize the keys you type.
I think its probably a software glitch has anyone experienced this? I found the option to disable it when using hardware keyboards but it didn't help..
Thanks

You probably want to disable autocomplete for the hardware keyboard. There is a setting for this in the SwiftKey 3 settings menu Advanced section. With Hard Keyboard autocomplete disabled it works great.

I noticed that and had it disabled. I think the problem is that sometimes when I flip out the keyboard it starts with the alt button so when I type it is all symbols and such. Simple fix is just to press that button when flipping open the qwerty, slightly annoying b/c its sometimes and not always but not a big deal.

[Q] Help on 3x4 keypad please.

It's in the settings of that particular keyboard.
