What do you guys think about this keyboard? I'm thinking of getting it for my new GTab. I had to hurry and post 8 times in order to be able to post a link.

It looks like it would work but doesn't say if the touchpad is multi-touch capable like for pinch-to-zoom features. I got one from Gear Heads that is a touch wider than the tablet itself but has a multi-touch touchpad.
One thing that bothers me about mini-keyboards like this one and the one I bought from Gear Heads is that they don't have a friggin' "shift" key on the right side. So if you're used to typing at a good pace the fact it doesn't have a shift key to press on the right side of the keyboard will be like a speedbump. Otherwise, I prefer a physical keyboard when I have to type a lot and use the virtual keyboard when I don't.

Hey guys, I just rooted my newly nookcolor and I was trying to get another particular keyboard called iPhone Keyboard https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sixgreen.android.softkeyboard&feature=more_from_developer but after the download and installation, i go to the nooksettings app and under keyboard, i still have only the multitouch and gingerbread keyboard and no iPhone option. I love my nookcolor, but I would like to have that iphone themed keyboard on it. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this baby to work?

Did you look at this thread here? http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Replace_the_Default_Keyboard
I imagine its tougher to get it working on stock rom - there is also discussion in the thumb keyboard thread further up about getting keyboards working. Bear in mind that the resolution might not be correct of the keyboard for it to work on the larger size of the nook.
Judging by the reviews of this keyboard, you may want to try Smart Keyboard Pro instead. There are iPhone, Galaxy, HTC, etc. skins available for free.
I removed the base with the iphone connecters and just whittled out the base to fit the radar chin and add a bit of back support and voila it fits perfectly.
Sadly the charger port is on the side and headphone jack on the top but hey wp7 is mostly in portrait mode anyways so when Im on my desk I just swipe up down for live tile notifications

Nicely done. I just might do the same to my iPod docking station that is built into my monitor. I have no need for the iPod dock anyways since I don't own any apple products. What did you use for the extra back support? Again, very good idea. Thank you for sharing.

any chance of releasing full instructions?
Hello,
did you ever seen gelaskin for Xperia S?
http://www.gelaskins.com/store/phones/Sony_XPERIA_S/collection/Most_Popular/pg/3
What i'm not sure about it, is that there is the sticker on the soft touch keys too.
What do you think? They still work?

i think so... its not part of screen , then there should be skin if that appears there i wonder the screen .. it should be wallpaper
My guess would be the buttons are affected. you could leave that part off i guess.
i got gelaskin for about 2 months now...Yeah it sticks on the screen too, it doesn't really affect the capacitative keys though, feels like it has the same responsiveness. I swipe the keys though but still the same.
btw Gelaskins are a little overpriced and overrated in my opinion. I took it all off except for the back.
I go to there for the wallpapers..
I ordered one , it will arrive in 6 days
I will let u know how is it when i try it ?
Hi,
it looks like the homescreen's solely purpose is to draw beautiful icons since smartphones entered the massmarket.
Does anyone remember the Today Screen from the old Windows Mobile devices?
Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Every single piece of information in one place, without the need to click/enter/open anything. You were even able to read the last message/email directly from this screen.
I tried hard to achieve a screen like this using widgets, but these got title bars and spaces everywhere. In 2011 there was a project called SlideScreen which seems to have been pretty close to what i am thinking about, but it got abandoned.
Help me guys, how do i get something like this on android?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
cool!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Verizon, rooted, running HyperROM8.
I also have a docking station with HDMI & 2 USB connections.

As it stands, I have a seperate monitor dedicated to the phone and dock. Right now, I must connect a seperate mouse and keyboard to the dock in order to use my docked phone, but I would like to use one mouse & one keyboard to control BOTH my computer, and my docked phone.
I have used Synergy and ShareKM. But both have totally dropped Android and IOS and there doesn't appear to be an alternative that Ican find.
Anyone know of an app to do this? Anyone interested in the idea?
...and, is this the correct sub-forum to ask in?
