Touchpal Keyboard - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Is there possibility to edit Touchpal files to remove top row of the keyboard? I know it is possible in iOS version by editing a config file in app directory. Has anyone tried it on android version with rooted phone?

To remove the top number row?
You can do this in main TouchPal settings.
Settings > language & input > virtual keyboard > touchpal > general settings

Not number row, this useless row above for word prediction with touchpal icon. It uses space.

Ahh, I use that word prediction, so not useless and to me. Can you link me to the iOS MOD, so I can take a look, please.

Thank you. Interesting. I took a quick look at the .akp decompiled, and couldn't find much as far as turning it off, but I'm not the best person for this. Terrible overlook on Touchpals part for those whom aren't using the word prediction. Wish I could have been of help.Best of luck.

I did not ask you for advice regarding using other keyboard afaik.
And no, gboard is not better.

Is it possible to add a row of arrow keys at the bottom of the keyboard for navigation purposes?

No, but there's an edit panel button, inside you can find arrow keys, copy and paste some functions like that.

when turning on the number row the number pad is still there .-. why?

Keyboard settings - HTC IME - user interface - key width adjust.
You can choose how many pixels separate each key on the keyboard. For fatter keys you want less space between keys so choose 0.

Gingerbread-style keyboard that doesn't get cut off

I downloaded the free Gingerbread keyboard from market, but found that in landscape it was cut-off by the Archos buttons. I then downloaded Steven Lin's latest source code from github, compiled it, and noticed that it doesn't have the landscape cut-off. I don't know why the version in Market is cut-off.
I then made some tweaks for myself. Two of these you can ignore: it comes with a nighmode version in red, but that's optional, and you can force the suggestions to be on even when the app requests them to be off (e.g., in search boxes), but that, too, is option. One tweak may annoy, and you can't turn it off: I added all the rest of the punctuation to what you get when you tap and hold the period and the comma. I can't do with only some punctuation on the main keyboard. Finally, I removed all language support other than English, which greatly slims down the apk.
So, all in all it's something I made for myself. But if you want it, it's here.
Thanks! It works great. The available additional punctuation is much appreciated; I always found the additional keystrokes needed annoying when using the terminal or ssh.

Yeah, the lack of a full ASCII keyboard has always been a pet peeve of mine about portable devices. I suppose not everyone sends emails that require all ASCII symbols.
It doesn't work on A70. The keyboard doesn't open.

1. Do you have "Gingerbread ARP keyboard" checked in the Keyboard settings?
2. What happens when you long tap on an input field, and then choose "Select input method"? Is it listed among the options?
By the way, I just found that the current version of the Gingerbread Keyboard in the Market works fine with landscape on my A43.

Of course, I activated the Gingerbread ARP keyboard in the settings. I chose it in the "select input method" menu.
When I tap on a textfield, the keyboard doesn't open, but at the bottom of the screen, there are ca. 2 rows of pixels, where I can see a little bit of the keyboard.
What can I do?
Interesting. There is no blank space, either?
What happens in landscape?
Does this happen with the 2.3 keyboard in the Market?

There is no white/blank space and the problem is in the landscape mode.
It happens everytime when I try to use this keyboard.
It's like the keyboard would be invisible, only the 2 rows of pixel on the bottom.
Try MultiLing Keyboard instead

Try the MultiLing Keyboard, which I've found works fine. Unfortunately the sources are not available.

Can you email me a screenshot? (My favorite way is to use adb: adb fbgrab /storage/gb.png and then adb pull /storage/gb.png.)
Is it fine in portrait?
Did you change your DPI setting? (I don't think it would make a difference, but you never know.)
The keyboard works great with my Archos 43. Thanks! I think I'll be using it from now on.

Keyboard shortcuts?

I want to add shortcuts like I did with my Palm Pre. I want to type 'omw' and have it corrected to 'on my way'
Is there an option I am overlooking in the settings?
You can add words or phrases in settings-language and input-personal dictionary. Good luck.
That isn't what I'm looking for...
For example, I want to physically type 'omw' and when I hit the spacebar, I'd like it be "corrected" to 'on my way'

You'd have to find a keyboard that does that then. SwiftKey x (which I'm using) does not support it.

I have the full version of swiftkey and it does exactly that!? You can actually tell it to do it in settings.
Ah, so no way to accomplish this with the stock keyboard? Bummer

Smart Keyboard also offers Auto-text function..which is what you're looking for. I too wish the stock keyboard allowed this, and i'm not sure why Android has yet to implement it in it's stock keyboards.
I haven't used Smart Keyboard yet since moving to ICS, but it's a great KB. You can add swipe functions, such as swipe to delete word, swipe to bring up a number keypad etc.

[Q] Unable to switch keyboards

Hi folks,
I am unable to switch keyboards. I am running the stock (rooted) Lollipop ROM. I have installed both Google keyboard and Swiftkey, the option to change keyboard only gives me the stock HTC keyboard in the settings. How do I force the switching of keyboards?
Bump.

After downloading Swiftkey, did you open the app? It should give you the option to and send you to the settings needed automatically to make it your default keyboard.
Swiftkey will walk you through the steps to enable it under settings then changing the default keyboard.

Yep, I did that and the option to change keyboard just lists the one (HTC) keyboard. It's almost like the fact the app is installed isn't registered by the system. See attached.

How to get rid of Touchpal?

Since i installed another keyboard i want to get rid of Touchpal since i allways get the "switch keyboard" notification which cant be disabled. How can i do that? Touchpal isnt in installed apps...

Settings, Language and keyboard, press current keyboard, then press choose keyboards and turn TouchPal off
If it's anything like the G4, you cannot disable the default keyboard.
I hope it isn't like the G4 in that aspect.

What's the other keyboard? I can turn TouchPal off on mine. Is the other keyboard enabled? If only one keyboard is enabled, you can't disable it.

Like jollywhitefoot, I can turn TouchPal off, as described. My other keyboard is Swiftkey, and interestingly, I had not been receiving any annoying prompts before I turned off TouchPal, which I only did just now.

The other keyboard is "Multiling O Keyboard +Emojii". This is what i see in the screen where i activated this one, is there another way to open this menu than going through the Multiling O Keyboard app?
You need to download a keyboard to turn off touchpal. Change the default keyboard then go back then you can disable it iirc.

"TouchPal with HTC Sense".
I was sad to see the Sense keyboard go. IMO it has always been king of Android keyboards. Wished I could have put it on my tablets throughout the years.
That's what I've been wondering. Is there any way we could get the Sense keyboard back on the 10?
One of the things I love most about my M7..

As you can see im using Multiling O Keyboard, which is a keyborad available in the Playstore. What do you mean by "Change the default keyboard", im allready using my custom keyboard for writing.
You turn on the keyboard back and then make it default. Then go back into where you turn on and off the keyboard then you can turn off touchpal.
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
I dont get what you want to show me. My current situation in detail:
1. Factory fresh HTC 10
2. I download Multiling O Keyboard
3. I enable it in the screen with the sliders.
4. I set my used keyboard to MOK, so i will start typing on with it whenever i select a text field.
5. When i select a text field i get a notification in the notification bar that lets me choose the keyboard i want to use, Touchpal and MOK being the options.
6. I try to disable Touchpal in the slider menu (which i reach by a button in the notification), but its slider is greyed out. I can disable MOK without problems, though.
Try doing it through the settings and not the slider. I don't know why it doesn't work for you, but that worked from me. Based on what you typed that the only difference. I didn't use the notification shade route.

What do you mean "through the settings and not the slider"? Touchpal isnt in the apps menu, so i cant disable it there.
I didn't access the settings through the notification shade like you did.
I did everything from the settings itself.
I tapped
Settings
Language and keyboard
Current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned on keyboard
Back once
Changed current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned off keyboards
That worked for me and I don't get anything in the notification shade because I only have 1 active keyboard.

The very first reply to your original post explains what you need to do. Go into Settings, Language & Keyboard, Current Keyboard, Choose Keyboards and then turn off Touchpal. Don't access this menu via the slider notification as you have previously stated. If Touchpal is still greyed out, try to download another keyboard temporarily and see if you then get the option.
