How to show keyboard without textfield? - HTC One X

I'm trying to get a LocoRoco apk running on my HOX. The game seems to run just fine, but I can't actually interact with it because the game was designed for the physical gamepad on the Xperia Play.
I downloaded this app called gamepad that does exactly what I need, emulate a physical gamepad and putting the controls on-screen.
My problem is, the gamepad app is actually a replacement keyboard, but I can't find a way to bring up the gamepad keyboard in-game. It pops up if I click on a textfield just like any other keyboard, but is there a way to get the HOX to either keep the keyboard active or bring it up without clicking in a textfield??

[Q] ScummVM screen orientation vs. touch input on Tilt2

Anyone here using scummVm on the tilt2 or tp2? My problem is that I cannot figure out how to get the screen orientation to work properly when the keyboard is open. What I mean is, anywhere I click, the cursor shows up at the mirror location on the device if the keyboard is not closed. It doesn't matter If I have the screen orientation lefthanded (default on this device) or flipped so it is right-side up with the keyboard open. Very frustrating.This isn't too much of a problem for point-n-click, but I would like to map keys, and opening the keyboard inverts all click points on the screen so the game becomes unplayable.
Currently the only workaround I can find is to have the keyboard open before starting scummvm (which is contrary to the tutorial). Closing it and opening it during gameplay brings back the original issue. I'd really like to find a way to open and close the keyboard without having issues. I'm hoping someone else with a tp2 has encountered this issue and knows how to deal with it!

dead trigger gamepad issue

I don't know if this has been asked already but when you assign buttons to the sixaxis controller in dead trigger the "in game action" button is on top of "save and exit" making it impossible to assign anything to it. Is there a way to fix this or around it? All help is greatly appreciated!
How do you get the right analogue stick to work in this game? I'm having a hard time figuring it out!
my dead trigger worked fine with sixaxis until this latest update. seems like it has lost native gamepad support. i created a touch profile in sixaxis that allowed me to use the right analog again, but it is a little wonky.
hope this is a temporary problem. i emailed madfinger to inquire what might have changed, but have not received a response.
Hi
I figure this issue too.
I have an old usb gamepad, wanted to configure buttons but not all of them are visible, and they partly cover the saving button (but i can click it)
I've an MDPI device (320x480).

[Q] Black bar on bottom of screen when connected to BT keyboard?

I've been using an old Palm bluetooth keyboard with my android devices since switching from a Palm device several years ago. I just recently purchased a BT keyboard specifically designed for the Note 10.1 2014 and from first connection noticed this bar that pops up at the bottom of the screen whenever the keyboard is in use. The little button with the "^" in the corner doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure what it's for. Is this something that normally happens with BT keyboards and I haven't encountered it because I've been using an older Palm BT keyboard?
Looks like a placeholder for a nav bar, which the note don't need, or ads. Ad blockers which work with non-rooted devices produce such empty placeholders.
I'm not running any ad blocker (even though my device is rooted), but this only shows up when I first connect the BT keyboard??? Weird stuff.
Well, the black bar still persists except that I figure out a workaround to get rid of it. It's just a matter of connection order. I have to turn on the keyboard first, then turn on BT on the tablet, go to a text field and when the onscreen keyboard pops up just press the spacebar and on the external keyboard and I'm good to go -- no black bar and a completely functional external keyboard.

this didnt work, did you end up figuring oout whwat causes this? im usung a galaxy note pro 12.2
I did not figure out any other way to avoid it happening other than the work-around I mentioned. I believe it's the auto-spelling-correct or maybe the auto-complete, but don't know for sure.
I have the same problem on my note 12.2. Simple install "External Keyboard Helper" from Play Store and enable the on screen keyboard and choose "External Keyboard Helper" if you will be asked. Now your BT keyboard is a soft-Keyboard and no black bar was seen again.

invisible cursor?

Is anyone else getting an invisible cursor on the default launcher? The cursor appears for me inside all apps, but becomes invisble on the home screen of the default launcher.
I also just realized that the cursor will also disappear if any system menu pops up. Example, if I try to install an apk the first menu pops up and I can use my mouse to click install, but when the next menu pops up that says next/install, the cursor disappears. The cursor does not become disabled, it just becomes invisable, but its kinda useless if you can't see it. I hope this is just a bug and not amazons way of saying they do not want us to use a mouse. Like I said, it still works in apps, but not on the home launcher or system menus.
A lot of people have looked at the thread, but nobody has replied so either I did not explain well enough or nobody is having the same problem. I'll explain again. When I updated to the latest firmware my cursor is now a smaller blue ring, is this normal? Also the cursor no longer appears on the default launcher or any system menus. If I go to home the cursor simply disappears, is this normal on the latest update? My cursor always appeared throughout the OS on past updates. This happens with my USB mice and my bluetooth mouse so its not the mice causing this to happen. The mouse cursor does appear on the home screen if I use wukong, but its a different cursor then the default cursor. Will someone please let me know if their cursor is also invisible on the default launcher after the latest update so I will know if this is normal or if something is wrong?

It disappears for me too, using a K400 for mouse duties.

Well I tried it with k400 and yes the cursors changed to blue inside screen I was currently on (Netflix) But its not appearing on homescreen. You say invisible but I can't seem to get anything to click there. But, in fairness, I hadn't used the k400 much up to this point.
Anyways, you're not the only one experiencing this.

I say invisible, cause the mouse is still functioning even thought you cannot see it. I have the app store apk instlled so all of my apps are on the home screen and I can still click on them with the mouse, but its pointless to open apps not knowing which app you are clicking on. I also have Dock4Droid installed and can activate it by using the mouse even though the cursor cannot be seen, so its clear the cursor is becoming invisible for some reason. I am sure this can be fixed on rooted devices, but I am not rooted. There are other devices where the manufacture has made the cursor invisible on certain parts of the OS. Now that I know its happening to others I am inclined to think Amazon has done this to force people to use the remote. If it still happens after the next update then it will be clear that amazon doesn't want us to use a mouse to click on system menus and wants us to use the remote instead. Its kinda weird that they would add support for bluetooth devices like mice, but take away the ability to use a mouse on system menus, but maybe that was the reason they didn't have support for bluetooth devices in the past. Hopefully its just a bug. Not being able to use a mouse throughout the OS has ruined the experience for me since the last update.

yes. Im pretty ticked off if this isnt a bug. Just purchased a keyboard/mousepad specifically for aftv. I might contact them. Theres nothing nefarious about keyboards, but whenever i contact them i get the feeling the rep has no clue.
More i think about it...i doubt its intentional. This was a big update.

I think its intentional, cause I remember this happening on other devices and people having to edit a file to get the cursor to appear on certain part of the OS. It makes sense for them to hide the cursor now that they have given us the use of bluetooth mice etc. Its kind of like they are telling us that we need to use the remote that they supplied with their device. It sucks because installing apks basically has to be done with the remote now, cause as soon as the next/install menu pops up the cursor disappears making it hard to know where to click install. Now I have to pickup my remote everytime I install an app. Also with Dock4Droid I was always able to force close apps from anywhere, but now as soon as the app info menu pops up the cursor disappears, which is crazy, cause if you click the wrong spot you could accidentally uninstall an app. The new update is nice, and I have noticed a slight upgrade that is actually good that I have not heard anyone mention, they made the navigation sounds louder on the home screen. I like that and I like the other upgrades, but the cursor becoming invisible is irking the hell out of me. Now I know why the invisible cursor made everyone mad on other devices. At least the mouse still works just does not appear on any system menus or default launcher. I have a feeling that this problem is here to stay unless someone fixes it for rooted devices. It wouldn't be that big of a problem if we could enable seeing touches, but there is no option for that in the developer options like there is on normal android devices. I am very surprised that nobody else has mentioned this, cause I have a feeling that if enough people do not complain about it then nothing will be done to change it. I want my cursor back on every section of the OS, not just inside apps. I rarely used my remote before, but now I have to use it, which I do not like.
Just updated to the 51.1.5.0_user_515030720 firmware and the cursor is still invisible on the Fire TV Lancher and on system menus. Was hoping it was just a bug, but now I am sure its not a bug and Amazon does not think our cursors should be visible on their launcher or their menus.

Customize power button for training apps: possible?

Hi everybody, as in the title I ask You:
is it possible to customize the unique button our sw3 has? With my windproof gloves during running sessions it's a bit annoying can't drive anything with the power button.
I'd be happy with the possibility to simply stop (pause) training just with one click of the button....and maybe to get it again with another click.
Is it possible, in any ways? ...or are there any 3rd part apps that allow that feature?
Generally I use Ghostracer (standalone GPS), but I might even change...
Thanks to all
Same problem here with my Moto 360 Sport. Coming from a Garmin, it seems silly that there are no apps that will allow me to use the physical watch button to pause my run. Any suggestions?
