iGo Bluetooth + XT9 problem (please move to "accessoires", sorry) - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

hi there!
I use the iGo (Stowaway) bluetooth keyboard with the WM5 drivers on my niki300.
unfortunately, it clashes with XT9, even in ABC mode.
with XT9, typing is very slow, as i am much faster on the keyboard than XT9 is with keeping up with what i type.
whenever i switch to ABC, the bluetooth keyboard behaves like the 20key slideout keyboard in ABC mode.
for example, if i hit the Y key twice, it writes X, not YY.
has anybody any idea how to solve this? ain't it possible to disable XT9 (and its bad habits) completely for use with bluetooth keyboards?
thanks
Bernhard

update: I just found out, that i have to slide out the hardware keyboard, long press the SYM button to show the XT9 options, go to ABC and close the hardware slider again! now the stowaway behaves correctly...interesting.

maybe you wanna try this cab so that you don't have to press XT9 to oget to ABC everytime you wanna type.
Cheers

thanks tacia, I know the thread where this was posted.
actually, I wrote two little MortScripts that set the registry key to 0 or 1 and put them into the HTC home launcher.
so when i want to use the bluetooth keyboard, i launch the ABC script. when i quit using it, and i am back to using the built in hardware keyboard, where i want XT9, i launch the XT9 skript.
I can upload them here tomorrow if somebody else is interested (along with the start menu links you need to add it to the launcher).

how do I get the phone to stay on eT9?

I previously had a wings phone. if I held down the * key then I could change the default input method to T9. with the keyboard open I could do the same with Fn+SPACE
on the s740 Fn+SPACE doesn't set the default any more. it only works once. I'll be happily banging away on the number keys and need to open the keyboard for something not in the dictionary and when I close the keyboard to continue it's changed to multitap.
has anyone else got this problem? have I missed something obvious in the settings?
looeee

ezinput keyboard camera fix

i know chefs has been working hard with fixes for the camera button. made this for roms that still have the cam button problem.
hope this will help...
edit 1... january 1st
included an uninstallable cab..... word suggestion will not pop up
ps... tested on clean 3.03c installed with xakep turbo cam
Hi bevoc, nice of you to post the fix. Have you tested it?
The cab file is not uninstallable, but I made one for you that is uninstallable.
yes, tested on arto's sense betas 4.0 and kubino's ultra clean (i installed ezinput 2.1 without arrows on this one) actually it is just a fake registry callup to prevent ezinput from hooking the camera button.....
the one i posted above will make some word suggestion pop up. i will make one which is uninstallable cab where the word suggestions will not pop up... will post it later.
happy new yeAr everybody at s200 subforum... may the new year brings more success to all of us at anything we do...
Happy New Year, Cheers
Thanks bevoc so I can't no fix my device after install you cab file. My S 200 still hang . So sad.
I return to Original ROM for stability used.
I've lost xt9 function in EzInput after this fix, can somebody give me camfix without this issue? (or some fix for fix) I really need xt9 and this keyboard.

you can set suggested text as well as spell correction via registry. i made this cab with xt9 disabled by default.
Can u tell me full path of this key? I could not find it.
i remade the cab
in this cab i left the et9 mode on. please tell me if it works. theoretically it sould.
No t9 anyway...
The same picture..((
(After cab I get only t9 from default keyboard)
okay thanks for the info, will try to use a different dll callup, but i guess if we use the htc ime dll the camera button will be hooked as soon as the os boots.....
Try please, man..
found something that maybe suitable. testing. will update you later
update....
no luck... the htc dlls are hooking the button. trying to hunt down what is actually hooking the button... i guess some dll need to be hexedited but im no gold there....
eem .. What is the relation between the camera button and T9?
I'm not pro in this, but camera (and its button functions) works fine after fix, but t9 stops working.
going to try this now

this is what i know so far (please correct me if i am wrong)
1. htc's t9 dll is hooking some keys for devices with physical keys
2. coincidentally, one of the keys is the camera key for acer...(have a different function on an htc device)
3. the hook basically renders the autofocus and shutter button useless (because its hooked on to another function that is not available on acer devices)
4. my fix is basically a registry edit which triggers ms version of t9/autocomplete
in order to fix this properly, the dll for htc t9 has to hexedited to remove the mentioned hook on the shutter/autofocus
*acer s200 camera button has actually 2 phase
1. autofocus (half press)
2. shutter (full press)
the hook only assign one function to the button which i dont really know what.
a workaround for this problem is to use aebutton plus. reassign the key. in camera mode af and shutter will work out fine
i created this fix because i dont use t9 and i dont want to use an extra process.
i suck at hexediting but i'll see what i can do.

[Q] where the hell can I regain my QWERTY keyboard?

I know, I should have searched.
But I have searched and did not find anything usable.
I have a HTC Leo with WM6.5 and Energy Sense mod.
Recently an idiot (me probably) bewitched my keyboard. Instead of my good old QWERTY traditional keyboard i get a QW ER TY keyboard with two letters per key.
Ok. let's change the input type...
Where?
On the Sense Settings menu under Locale & Text, Text input? nothing there usable.
On the start menu? Settings? Tools? I did not find anything that worked.
Could anyone give me a hint where to retreive my good old QWERTY?
Thank you
with compact qwerty open give a quick tap offset to the right half of the keyboard icon & you should get the extended menu come up with options of Qwerty including full standard qwerty.
You can also use my attached mortscript & use the .exe to launch the script which will make the input extended menu popup.
Thank you. It was too easy... I spent hours trying to find the way...

[Q] Keyboard app

Can someone suggest to me a good keyboard app? I just need one with prediction for virtual, and for hardware keyboard, i'm italian and we use a lot of accent, and is really useful to have prediction on hardware too, because it automatically corrects my words without holding letters to have accent.
I already tried:
-Swiftkey3 (but there are a lot of known problems with shift and fn button, they didn't fix yet)
-TouchPad v4.... (No prediction and auto correct for hardware keyboard)
-TouchPad v5 (Prediction works for hardware, but 'sym' button doesn't works and it type a space instead of show me the list of special characters)
Let me know Thanks

[app] fastest keyboard with swype + fix for xmp hw keyboard

I found this keyboard while desperately looking for one that would show suggestions when using the hardware keyboard.
This one does, and it also got swype while having a size of less then 500 kb (without dictionary).
It has also got the ability of changing the hardware keyboard layout. Strangely it is enabled by default, so my azerty became a qwerty when using that keyboard. (I didn't know apps could take over a hardware thing???) You can turn it off in the settings -> physical keys -> remap keys. You can also change the hardware layout yourself by changing the 'language keycode' in the same settings pane, however I don't know what you should enter (qwerty is the default at 204).
you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh&hl=en
There are some quirks, since it is a beta.
For instance you can't type a web address decently, as it will always put a space behind a dot (unless you turn off 'insert space after swype')
Also, It will by default use auto-correction on password and log in fields, which you can also turn off by deselecting 'always predict'.
I almost forgot to mention one thing: it's by fr the fastest keyboard I have ever seen. Even after coldboot, the keyboard will popup instantly after hitting a text field.
thanks bro
finaly an alternative to swiftkey I'll test that
Good work!
Nice! Thanks!
