Hi Guys,
I have just installed XBMC (Kodi Alpha5) in my Fire TV. Everything is fine except the keyboard. The Virtual keyboard appears, I can see shift key, Done, Arrows but cannot see any letters. all letters are missing from the keyboard.
Anybody can help me on this?
Thanks in Advance

I believe there's a keyboard setting in your xbmc settings. I can't remember what the exact selection says, but I remember the phrase "onscreen keyboard". Maybe you can snoop around in the settings and see if you find it. I just use the Yatse XBMC/Kodi app, so I don't need the virtual keyboard. I also have a Hausbell usb keyboard connected just in case i'm not home and someone else needs to use xbmc.
kodi has a different keyboard setup... most skins arent supported yet and u get a blank one or none at all. im using amber right now since it is working good.. kinda starting to like it too. goto xbmc.org and do some reading on the forums.. easy to figure out what skins work and what ones dont. i might have downloaded it from the amber skin thread over there.. cant remember since it was a bit ago.
Thanks Guys for your help.
But I was not able to find any solution. I uninstall Kodi 14 and install XBMC 13 and I have no problem with keyboard.

Cab file has been switched to the new one
Did not see anyone working on this in this forum (seems focused in ELF) but the keyboard does work on other devices thought I would post it over here (would be a great addition to the ROMS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1595623&postcount=29
will test it out. thanks
edit* doesn't work on my 8525. Just black blank square shows up and no response at all.
Thanks for sharing!
It works just fine on my 8525, except the Symbol Keyboard, which is blank. Hopefully this glitch is solved soon.
Would someone please post a screen shot please?
well, I made a package using Pandora for my Hermes.
in order to solve the symbol problem, I had to include the symbol pad in the ROM.
everything works just fine now.
Thank you guys!!!

Would you be so kind as to share your Pandora package, please?
Also, have you noticed the problem with using the slide out keyboard and XT9 input on the hermes?

can you tell what the 3 different files are and how to use them, do they have CABs?
if it is a keyboard skin why are there 3 files to DL?
thanks

the three files are keyboard, random acess( this like iphone where you can slide your finger down the alfabet letters so you can go straight to that group), and the last one i am still trying to figure out what this is for.
the only one i am using is random access that works. if you want i will share my personnal rom with random access included. the only thing you will have to do is use schaps 1.0 config to remap your left soft key to random access and rename the shown name to contacts. by doing this random access works all the time.
disable xt9
hi,
the keyboard is cool, its working on my tytn.
my problem is that i don't like the t9 at all. i'm used to write messages my way.
i searched in the forums, and there was a tip of deleting registry key tegic. if i rename the key, the keyboard is not working anymore. does anyone have an idea or solution to disable the xt9 input method for the touch keyboard?
the setting XT9SupportMSSip is on 1, i changed it to 0 -> this worked fine, i don't have the t9 support in the default keyboards anymore (it displays the icon on the top, but it is switched off on text-entry.)
has anyone already exported the HTC Touch Dual 'Image Viewer'?
looks very nice!!
would some one please kindly supply with fixed cab file
The T9 would be a great tool if it can be switch on and off! Especially when in hard keyboard mode....
Keyboard skins
Hi
Is there a way to make this fabulous keyboard (thanks to the autor of this thread) working with an azerty -or whatever- keyboard ?
Thanks in advance
Regards.
Edit: With Advanced Config Tool from schap's, you can set the default keyboard layout !

yes it is in this forum (look for htc album)
I luv this keyboard, but for what ever reason there apears to be an issue with contacts selection within pocket outlook.
Ie when you type in the first couple of letters of a contact in the mail To box, I used to be presented with a filtered list of contacts, for what ever reason this doesn't happen now.....not sure if anybody knows any reg edits of this funtion.
I'll post some screenshots when I get home
Does anyone know if it is possible to turn on Auto Correct again using slide-pot keyboard? As i installed this Auto Correct doesnt work, and it is ticked?
thank you
I am really happy to see this keyboard fix, For all foreigners in Japan who have this phone, touch dual or ht1100, this keyboard fix is AWESEOME, HTC released the touch phone here with a tiny little blue keyboard that could ony be used with a fine stylus, and made it impossible to use.
I been looking for this fix for a long time.
Thank you.
Hi So I used to have a touch HD (still do but selling) and have brought a TP2 (arriving soon) and I want to make good use of the keypad.
The first thing I want to do is play on some emulators what are some good options? I have narrowed it down to fpsece and morphgear, are they the best? any others?
Is there anything else cool the keypad gives me that I couldnt do before? I was thinking an app which allows me to connect to my pc/ps3 as a blutooth keyboard would come in very handy does this exist? If not can anyone point me in the right direction to make this myself - I know my way around C# and wm development but never done anything with bluetooth or emulating hardware.
Many thanks

Well there IS a WM app that will do that for both PS3 and PC, it's called MobileRemote1.1...but it seems that it's not working right on the TP2 as of yet. So, if you're skilled enough to fix that issue, there'd be some grateful people here I'm sure Info in THIS thread.
Now what you can use in the meantime, at least on your PC (no PS3 support yet) is an app called gremote, which gives all kinds of remote PC control options, over BT or wifi. Basic version is free, full version is paid. http://gbmsoftware.com/
Thanks for the info on the apps. If I can get some good info on making this type off app I will give it a go.

No prob, good luck! My name is on the list of those who would love to get a full BT keyboard profile on here for use with the PS3 etc
Hey Folks,
I'm using the Desire HD with the Cyanogen Mod 7 (latest Version from 2 Days ago).
Now I connected via Menu (Wireless & Networks --> Bluetooth) a simple "noname" Bluetooth Mouse and the pairing did happen. I used "0000" as Pairing-Code and the Desire gives me the Message "Connected with HID-Device" (or something like that, I use the german language).
Now I should see a Mousearrow or something should happen if I scroll or press a Button.
But nothing happens.
The Mouse itselft works properly - I tried it in Windows7 and Suse-Linux.
I also tried the App BlueInput (latest and some previous versions) but there its the same. I get connected properly but it wont work.
Now I'm hopefully waiting for your ideas (and I hope there are some)
Thanks in advance!
Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, you want to use a mouse to control your handset? Where the handset is directly in front of you?
I dont know if Android supports this. If you wish to remotely control your handset try WebKey from the market.

Well, there is also a possibility to make use of a WiiMote...
I see this more as a proof of concept.
What about the Motorola Atrix within its "to-Netbook-conversation-Docking"?
Internal Keyboard + BT Mouse = playable Quake3 on Android
Err bubble to bursting station, you can use a wiimote on a DHD quite easily. You can even do it with Apps available from the market place, hey you can even use the classic controller and nunchuck with it.
I have used it (not entirely successfully) to play N64 games on an emulator
At first : Thanks for your responses!

Yes, I want to control my Desire HD with a mouse when I stand next to it. If I wouldn't, I wouldn't have asked for it
The thing is that I need a Mousewheel - or at least something that can emulate one.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the WiiControl doesn't have such a feature.
What I found out is, that the Cyanogen 7 doesn't support Mouseweel-Actions.
I installed the latest 6.1 - et voilla - I get a Cursor and the Mousewheel works.
But unfortunately it doesn't work if I use it in a Flashmovie with the WebKit-Browser.
It seems that the Events are not tunneled into the Flashapp.
Someone got an idea for a workaround?
Ps: I like the idea of playing Quake3 on my Desire - but I prefer Quake1
Is there a way of using the mousewheel in a self-written application!?
That could also solve my problem
I mean, in the Cyanomod I can scroll around through lists an so on. There must be a way! (hopefully)

What exactly did You install? I play Quake 3 with a friend of mine in my university and I would sooo own him with a BT mouse!!!
Hey
Today I got my Fire TV and I am really happy with it! To use my samsung TV remote I bought a Flirc stick and programmed it with the XBMC layout. It works, but somehow I get ghost clicks and the keys are pushed much to fast, so its sometimes very hard to go just one step up/down/right/left. Anybody else experiencing this and has a solution or hint for me?
Thanks
Thorsten

You'll probably get more help on the Flirc forum, but I have had similar issues and the new Beta firmware for the flirc fixed it. I think Jason is planning to release that version as public soon if he didn't already.
Hallo
an app in Kodi installed another virtual keyboard over the original fire tv one.
This layout has no signs and i see no way to change it to the original one. :crying:
I changed the layout from german to english but it has the same result.
Is there a way to get the original layout at my box?

The keyboard has changed to qwerty in Kodi, switch back to the default skin named Confluence.
And encourage the skin maker of the skin you are using to update it for Kodi.
Anyways not FireTV related at all.

Was it the overall aFTV keyboard that went blank.
The one you use in FireOS and not Kodi? Or both? And are you rooted?
The reason I'm asking is that a addon or skin change in Kodi can not break anything else but the keyboard in Kodi because these are 2 different keyboards one buildin to Kodi the other is a Android service. Maybe by accident some app disabled the Android keyboard service but that should still leave you with a keyboard in Kodi if you use a compatible skin. The reason I am asking is because I thought what happened was the other way around ie. no Kodi keyboard only. That and I'm curios because it sounds odd and I like troubleshooting.
Anyway glad you got it working, although you had to factory reset.
