Hi,
The two things preventing me from switching over to CM 7 are dialer and keyboard. So
1. Does anyone manage to port HTC keyboard to CM7 . If no can anyone suggest me a decent T9 keyboard .?
2. Any decent dialers . Many dialers failed to clear the missed calls and many failed to recognize space in T9 mode. Meaning when the name is "test name" , the dialer expects me to press space character which is inadmissible.
Thanks,
Karthik

Xperian8~ click thanks if it helps...
Go contact scrolling through contacts is very laggy when compared to stock cm7 contacts. Any other suggestions?

what?
There are quite a few keyboards that support t9 compact keyboards, smart keyboard is one of those. You can install the trial and check it out, even though I'd recommend swiftkey for anything to do with typing.
The CM 7.2 release candidate supports t9 and it works well enough for me. I don't really understand your gripe with space, but to type "test name" you'd go 837806 where the 0 means space. You could also only type the second name and choose from the drop down menu. From what I gather it will rank the numbers by popularity, so the ones you call more often will be on the top most of the time. So even without ignoring spaces (what it seems you want), it'll still most likely get the contact you need after the first 3 letters.

Does anyone know any screen keyboard where we could type our text messages like that in the nokia phones and razor? thanks!
do you mean this??

If you mean a Phone Keypad with T9 functionality, you can install Phone Pad. Search for the cab in XDADev and choose one of the versions - there's the original from HTC, a Gray skinned one and a Touch themed one available for download.
Phone pad is what you want, although i find if you are a fast typer the touch screen might give you grief. But its worth a try
I'm sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere (And yes I did look), but is there a way to set the touch keyboard to default to the "Touch Keyboard" where each character has its own button? On some screens it appears like that, but on others the "QU", "ER", etc share a key. It's really frustrating.
Thanks in advance!!!!!
try this cab

This is the cab to keep the 40 key "password" you will lose T9 and word prediction ..... do a registry backup.......this cab despite what ever it says WILL uninstall... the registry backup is just in case it can't be uninstalled. I pesonally have uninstalled and reinstalled many times without hard reset...Hope this helps

I didn't make it but codyppc did so give him kudos if you catch him out in cyberworld
This is for the touch keyboard on the touch

Another option
I like what timdawgdentist recommended because I did not know that there was the option available. However, I find the password keyboard a bit difficult to use myself, so I installed PCMKeyboard.

That PCMKeybord is really great. It's taking a while to get used to, but I certainly like it much more than any of the others that I've tried. Thanks!!!!!!!
I personally LOVE TouchPal keyboard, I was a fan with 1.0 and now with 2.0 it is that much better, Twice as better and easier to use. I use SIPChange to make that my default Keyboard. You should try it. You can type so freaking fast with it.

I have hard time text messaging with the native texting program that comes with the HTC Touch (Sprint/Vogue). I can't get the keyboard to disappear so that I can press the send bottom on the bottom of the page.
I like the SPB Fullscreen Keyboard with the black47 theme and PCM Keyboard with iPhone skins.
I tried TouchPal, Touch Keyboard and Keypad.
I prefer the touch keyboard from the least 3 i like.
but I mainly use the Fullscreen now but usually wind up switching around to the PCM. Sometimes predictive is good, sometimes I need to be precise
Just flashed my first few ROMs last night and I'm loving it I've put a couple of different ones on and I do like Sense but I really love the Nexus One type ROMS, only problem is I just can't live without the 'Phone' Keypad type keyboard that comes with Sense.
So is there a good stable 2.2 Nexus ROM for the desire that includes a Phone Keypad keyboard ?
I've searched but it's easy to get lost in here and I just can't seem to find one (if one exists).
Defrost, presuming you mean the HTC keyboard. Settings>keyboard>HTC. Keyboard

Try Dialer One from market, it's simmilar to HTC Phone application.
You can't have native HTC widgets and applications right now.
If you searching for HTC_IME keyboard, you can find mod here that work on 2.2 stock roms.
Ok thanks for that.
It's the 'Phone' Keypad keyboard I'm after, as in the XT9 type keyboard.
EDIT: It's for text input in apps such as Messaging so Dialer one isn't suitable. HTC_IME keyboard I've tried and it just gives the qwerty type KB (unless I missed something).
htc ime mod is the same as the standard htc keyboard. Go into settings and choose the keyboard that suits you.

I really thought I'd tried that and it never had the Phone keypad keyboard option, I'll re-flash the nexus rom and have another try - was the HTC_IME Keyboard in the Market for the nexus ?

Install both clicker and the mod
Settings > Language + Keyboard > Tick IME box > Now click IME mod settings > Keyboard types > Phone keypad.
or you could just go to messages and when on keypad hold down optical enter button and select input method.
Thankyou all
All sorted now, really loving the Froyo without Sense now I have the right KB back
hey guys.. is there anyway to do the opposite?
im using a HTC sense 2.2 rom but love the default froyo keyboard. is there anyway to install it?
cheers!
hello
hello,do you have htc chinese default input?
i cant find it, and i need that input very much!
Hi,
I don't like the word prediction on the standard HTC keyboard. If Itype a word that's not in the dictionary, I can either change it to the word the prediction suggests, or insert + save the word I typed in.
the problem is, sometimes I DON'T want the word saved, like it's a one-time-use word. the prediction on the android keyboard was much better; tap the word once to insert, tap another time to save. (but I like HTC keyboard's symbols-handling better)
any way to get this "tap twice to save" on the HTC keyboard too?
btw does anyone have a download link to android keyboard?
edit: oh and is it possible to turn off the "buggy" text reflow in the web browser?
Tap twice to save is not possible afaik with the standard HTC keyboard. However, if you search for the HTC_IME mod by some guy called Jonas, you will find a modded version of the keyboard which you can configure somewhat into the direction you described. Root isn't required for this keyboard btw.
Good luck!

Here's something that I think would really make many people's lives a lot easier!
CyanogenMod now supports many languages for the stock soft keyboard which is very nice. However when using the stock keyboard as the input method, when the keyboard is opened, it is only possible to type in English (as far as I'm aware). However using other input methods like AnySoftKeyboard it is possible to type in the currently used language (ASK even allows changing languages on the fly with Alt+Space)
But, many of these 3rd party keyboards are not thumb friendly and uncomfortable to use in On Screen Keyboard mode.
So a very useful thing would be a program that automatically sets the input method to a predefined option when the keyboard is opened/closed. So for example I open the keyboard and it auto changes to AnySoftKeyboard, then I close it and it changes back to stock keyboard.
Unfortunately I can't program but if anyone can make this I'm sure it'll be useful to many people.
Looks like I missed Keyboard Manager, very nice software that does this. Thank you ne0fhyk for making this.
Of course it would be nice if this was built-in into the CyanogenMod ROM for a more streamlined solution.
Mods can lock this if they wish
