Hi,
Installed a MIUI rom but obviously no longer have the default HTC keyboard. Is there any way to get this back? I kind of need the arrows to move the cursor around as there is no trackpad on the HD.. I'm guesing there's no way to get the thing where you press and hold the screen to get a magnified view of the text and cursor?
There's loads of keyboards on tjr market with directional keys but if you are keen on htcs then there is an install apk floating about .....HTC.ime or something or other ... should be on these forums somewhere give the search a go

Is it possible to remove the arrow keys from the onscreen keyboard?
I usually click on the text itself if I want to move around the stuff so The keys are just in the way for me.
Thanks in advance
Install the htc ime mod. Can't paste you the bookmark right now but google should found it easy enough.

I am using CM7 but want the stock keyboard... I can't function without the arrows and a trackball....
anyone help?
On the text fields there is now a slider to slide the cursor around. Have you tried using this? I, personally, find this more intuitive and useful than the arrow keys.
the stock keyboard I can help you get on CM7, but no arrows.

You should check out swift key beta x and after you install u can go into the settings under theme and layout section enable arrow keys its free for now and its a really good keyboard I think better then stock. I use the fast prediction of settings.

On the gingerbread keyboard you can press the spacebar and drag up to get arrow keys.
Hi guys,
Im running the RemPuzzleRom 2.2.1, 0.7.2 and I need some help on changing the keyboard...
I've currently got 2 installed, with one selected in Settings -> Language and Keyboard, but it does not activate and still has the old ****ty one.
Is there a way to bypass this?
Cheers.
Go to any textbox in your phone and longpress it and select input method and than select wich keyboard you want

Long pressing the keyboard just chooses the secondary button :S
He doesn't mean longpress the keyboard, open your text messages,compose new message then long press the actual text box instead of just touching it to open the keyboard, choose input method then choose your new keyboard.

It doesn't seem to do anything, even after 15 seconds of holding it down :S
Scratch that, I didnt have the keyboard enabled (doh)
Thanks heaps fellas
Hi guys, just installed Blade ROM 4.6 last night and I've noticed something wierd with the onscreen menu buttons. They don't seem to appear in most apps even when I don't have a hardware key mapped to that function. Its quite a small thing but I was wondering if there's a way to restore the stock behaviour of them actually appearing (like the the top right of chrome all I get is the switch tabs button no menus button).
Cheers

The LG G2, had the most wonderful left and right cursor arrow keys that showed up in the row of the home button (front touch buttons they were called on the G2) anytime you launched a keyboard to type.
But this feature seems omitted on the G3..?? No please say it aint so!
How do I get those back?
Not sure if this is what you are looking for since I never owned the G2. When keyboard is up, long press on space bar. This brings up your left and right cursors.

Thanks, but no that's not it. On the G2 there are permanent cursor keys on the far left and right of the front home buttons. Just to the left and right of the Back button and Recent Apps button. They only show up with a keyboard is displayed.
Anyone know how to get these on the G3?

These arrows. Does anyone know how to get these arrows on the g3?
See them at the bottom left and right of the screen on the nav bar.
Please help!
Side load the G2 keyboard. The G3 one doesn't have the arrows so you will need another one

Great suggestion Pilz. Two questions:
1) Are you sure functionality of the left/ right cursor keys on the Nav Bar are built into the LG keyboard? I only ask because those keys show up even when the LG Keyboard isn't being used. I usually use TouchPal or SwiftKey.
2) I attempted to side load the G2 apk be backing up the app using ES Files Explorer. When I tried to install it on the G3 it said not insatlled. Do I do this by simply opening the apk file or do I have to do something with the .odex and .systag files? BTW - I'm not rooted yet.
3) Also when I tried to install the G2 keyboard apk, it said it was going to UPDATE the G3 LG Keyboard. Know of a way to have it load as secondary version of the app instead of replace it?
Thank you so much!
If you want to sideload the G2 keyboard you may need root to move the odex and or lib files into the appropriate folders. Some apps work without this, but since it's a system app you will more then likely need root. I don't like the G3's keyboard (I use the google one with the material overlay). Here is a screenshot of my G3 keyboard for reference it doesn't have the arrows on the bottom. The good news is that if you hold the space bar then you can move the cursor as seen below. I hope this helps.
I think you are correct about needing to be rooted to move the odex files. I'll get to that later.
As a workaround I downloaded the new Google keyboard also. I was wondering though how you got the arrow keys for the cursor. Holding down the space bar for me prompts the keyboard change menu to select a different keyboard all together...??

Great tip about holding down the spacebar ! Then I can slide left or right to move the cursor for edits !
That isn't working for me..? What version are you using? I thought I downloaded the latest L version. Mine prompts a keyboard change.

It's only on the LG keyboard which I don't use. I only use the google one I posted the screenshots of the LG one for the other member to show him the feature.
