I recently flashed from Cyanogenmod 7.2 (had been running it as a daily driver for about a year and a half) to tiny's 10.1 then back again after about a month. Somewhere through the different backups and nands I lost the keyboard or keyboard mod I use to love so much in cyanogenmod 7.
I want regular stock android keyboard, I do not want the smiley key I just want the return key.
I'm currently using one of the ime mods, and I've tried quite a few, and although I finally settled on one, this one is too tall, the keys too widely spaced and the alt buttons are long presses of regular qwerty characters, which is fine and workable, but I really want and miss my trusty bone stock keyboard.
If I remember right it was just regular android keyboard with advanced settings. I seem to remember seeing an ime mod too but none of the ones I tried are what I need.
Can anyone help me find it?

Even without holding the Evo, I can go ahead and imagine that i'd prefer a landscape keyboard without the arrows to the right that htc_ime includes with the EVO. Being unfamiliar with sense, will the standard android keyboard be available to be set as default? or will the desire keyboard be available to flash over the existing one? Thanks
I have always disliked the arrows too. Sometimes they are hit by accident while typing. It's quite annoying. And this was on my HD2.
However I will probably use better keyboard.
i love everything about the rom except the keyboard when the phone is held sideways. i hate the layout of the buttons and the space bar on the side.
i have downloaded the HTC keyboard zip from the synergy thread and flashed it but still cant get anything other than the new one with the space bar i hate.
can anyone point out what i am doing wrong?
thanks
I suggest Smart Keyboard, there is a trial and a pro version. The keyboard is awesome. The skins that come preloaded are iPhone, Android, Gingerbread, Galaxy, HTC, Gray, White and Black. Long press options in all the right places. Long hold enter for smiley shortcut. Option to have arrows on screen all the time, non of the time or only when sideways. Number pad option... anyways I highly recommended.
I remember back in the days of my htc desire, right after it came out there was a customized version of the stock keyboard (which was my keyboard of choice on the phone)
It was mostly the same, but it had lots of options for say, replacing what the default smiley faces were, what some of the long hold options were for keys, some of the layout stuff etc.
Is there anything like this around/planned for the ICS keyboard per chance?
Hi, I'm running The Collective's jellybean rom and while I love it, it is a tad unstable. With the occasional FC's of the task switcher.
Through using multiple options from AOKP, CM10 and Paranoid I've managed to disable the front hard buttons on the phone (including the back light) and enable the onscreen buttons as found on a Galaxy Nexus. I much prefer this to the stock hard buttons as it makes the screen much easier to one hand than before.
So my question is: if I switch to another rom, whats the best way to allow me to disable the front hard buttons and enable the onscreen buttons? I'd be interested if a single rom allows this or, even better a program or app to accomplish this.
thanks in advance, I did a forum search for "soft buttons" but nothing really came up.
Its called the navigation bar and most (all aosp) ROMs have it.
Thanks for the reply, its great to hear thats a standard feature on mostly all roms, I'll be much more will willing to flash other roms in the future. I've gotten really used to the soft buttons and I'd hate to lose that feature with different roms.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the stock keyboard to show long press keys behind the main characters. TWRP has a stock looking keyboard with long presses available and a few roms have stock keyboard with long presses showing up as well on the stock keyboard. Is there some setting im missing or is there a custom google keyboard apk I can install? Any help would be appreciated, id love to not have to toggle between the multiple levels of the keyboard to find question marks etc.
using the keyboard right now and i don't think there is an option for that. then again the scheme is straight forward in my opinion. long pressing a letter leads to variants of that very letter (e.g. æãåāàáâä). exception to that rule is the top row, which additionaly has the shown numbers as longpress-default. other commonly used special characters can be accessed by using the period-key.
