Smart search on TP2, and custom tabs in TF3D

Is there a smart search option on this phone?
I just think there is a potential to do a lot more with the keyboard. Some sort of smart search (ala Palm Pre) would be great. From standby, just slide out the keyboard and start typing and list out the possibilities. Maybe start typing a name and any matches start popping up with options to directly call, text or email. Or a URL to go directly to a website, or save in notes (sometimes you see a website address you wanna check out later). Of course, there would be google/wikipedia search options too.
There should also be shortcuts with the keyboard too. Anyway to link certain keys (or combos) to launch apps (e.g. straight into SMS mode) or certain settings (e.g. bluetooth on/off)?
Another idea I think could be useful is integrating a facebook or twitter tab into TouchFlo3D directly. Is this possible?

SIP virtual keyboard woes

I have a Sprint TP2 stock ROM WM6.1...
This problem started, or rather, was discovered when I tried to disable TF3D SMS in favor of Microsoft threaded SMS.
I saw on this PPC geeks thread, a Manila file which, when put in /Windows, would allow me to tap a new SMS and open Microsoft SMS instead of TF3D.
After doing this and soft-resetting, I discovered that my pop-up keyboard was messed up. (ScreenShotA). I was able to get a full keyboard to pop up by tapping the invisible ^ next to the center keyboard soft key (ScreenShotB), however the keys were very small. I opened it up in landscape (ScreenShotC) but the keyboard was the same size with deadspace on either side. I deleted the recently added 47dd6acd_manila file from /windows and reset, but still have this keyboard. I want to get the original keyboard layout back (ScreenShotD).
How do I do it?
Please Help! Thanks!

lol
my guess is you just incidentally disabled the htc kb. i believe that i the standard wm keyboard, look in your settings

I found a solution on PPCGeeks:
set HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\Ime\CurrentET9Style to 0.

[Q] Is there a keyboard that also has a quick text option?

Hello everyone, quick question. Does anyone know of a keyboard for the Evo that has a built custom text option. And by this, I mean something like a list that I quickly pull up to enter into a text field anywhere in the phone (sms, internet browser, etc). I had a windows phone prior to the Evo and they had few KB that I was able to make a custom list of common words, usernames, etc that was easily accessible. Any help is greatly appreciated

Keyboards, I don't know, but I know that handcent lets you input and select quick messages for texts; you can use the preset or create your own.

Thanks for the response. Is this a feature that is only good for adding into sms or will it work in other parts of the phone (like the internet browser)? If it is the latter i might check it out. THanks

The new Swype has T9 style word selection

Personal dictionary shortcut aka text expander

Hey guys,
im a big fan of the xperia keyboard i believe everything suits my preference except for the text expansion/shortcut in the personal dictionary, i dunno how to activate it or make it work, i already keyed in so many shortcuts like, omw - on my way, but still if i type the shortcut, the word doesnt expand. i was using google keyboard but for lack of better dictionary and other function, i still love the xperia keyboard except this hurdle.
thanks in advance!

Did you find any solution for this issue? I'm facing it on my Xperia sp. It doesn't work for the Google keyboard as well on this phone. I even tried kika keyboard thinking that it'll work, but nope. Please help if you solved it.

One function I use a lot is the keyboard shortcuts.
However, the shortcuts created on the Gboard do not work.
For example, create a shortcut by typing "gm" to appear in the top bar the phrase "good morning".
The shortcut phrase does not appear.
Any sollution ?
