Are there any tweaks or mods out there that will put the "Enter" key back for SMS in GB?
From what I've read, the key in question changes based upon the app and type of field you are typing in. For example, typing this post, I have the enter key, but in SMS it's an emoticon key...
I realize that I could install a keyboard or SMS app from a third party to solve the problem, but I really like the stock apps with the exception of this one minor annoyance.
I imagine that this could be fixed with a zip file installed via cwm. Anyone know of one?

anybody know how to type one? my email address has some in it and the only way i can do it at the moment it to close the phone so the soft keyboard comes up and find it in the menu then reopen it again, anybody know if its possible and if so where it can be found?
edit: oops i mean on mini pro
You're serious right?
Press the Sym/àü button on the bottom right... A screen will pop up with all possible other characters.
it does nothing on my phone, i press it and the cursor changes to the same one as when i press the blue button to get numbers, i have got slideit keyboard installed, could it be sometthing to do with that?
I had this issue. Either a: You turned off the option for it in the settings or b: there is a losse connection between the keyboard and motherboard (My problem was the latter). If this is the case, refer to your service centre for repair. (Or strip the phone apart, re-seat the ribbon and reassemble, which is what *I* did, but then again, I do know how to follow warrenty service guidelines so as not to void my warrenty...)
That sym key only works when you have the default input activated. Since you have SlideIt installed, you'll have to long-press on the text area, select 'Input method', choose 'Default', insert the underscore using the sym button, and then reactivate SlideIt. A little bit long winded but that's the only way when you're not using the default input all the time.
That is correct. No third party input application takes into account the sym/au button. I have given the debug log files aswell as the keyid (found in the layout files of the keyboard) of that button to the author of smartkeyboard pro. He has it on his to-do list. Hopefully he can whip up something to fix the problem.

i have made my own fix, i added my email address to a slideit keyboard shortcut, now i just type "LJC" and my email addy comes up
cheers for the help though, i thought i was going mad
I have come into an odd situation being that I am coming from a blackberry and I am VERY use to being able to hit the Enter key in order to send a text message. The place where an Enter key would intuitively be, is replaced with a "Smiley Button". Is there any way to replace the Smiley button with an Enter key and then be able to hit Enter to send SMS messages?
I have looked into it before this question and come up with use the Handcent app, but I would rather use the stock SMS application or a variation of a keyboard download in order to get Enter to send SMS to work.
Thanks.
HTC IME
Look for HTC IME on google, it is the keyboard from htc phones, it's beautiful, you can modify many things, anddd you can use enter to send, you have to enable it under the keyboard settings. But.... you don't get the nify spell check that only comes with the moto keyboard.
From what I have found the HTC IME doesn't work on the Atrix sadly. Well at least for me....
But when I had it on my Galaxy S it was awesome!
I'm really liking the Voice to Text (VTT) input that came with the ICS leak, and find that it works pretty well. The problem is that when I change to a different keyboard, the VTT changes. I've tried a couple of different keyboards, and they both seem to have different versions of the VTT.
On Swype beta, I've dug through the settings, but cannot seem to find anywhere to select which VTT system to use.
The only real issue I've got with the stock keyboard is that I would like to shorten the time before the alternate character is selected when long pressing a key.
If anyone has any ideas, or maybe another keyboard that uses the stock ICS VTT I'd appreciate it.
I've tried swiftkeyx, betterkeyboard, swype with no luck.
Another thing about the ICS leak that I've noticed is that you cannot press and hold over text and get that magnifying glass to place your cursor in a particular spot. Any fix for this?
Yeah, I'm replying to my own post...
The way to use the stock Google Voice Input when using an alternate keyboard is to pull down the notification bar when you are in a text input area. You should see a little keyboard icon up there, and when you pull it down, choose "Select Input Method" and choose "Google Voice Input". This only changes it for the time being, and doesn't change it system wide.
Now can anybody answer my other question below?

Ok, so I recently downloaded an APK for AI. Keyboard after which I started having problems. When I press the backspace it uses other keys like. When I press it doesn't delete but instead puts another letter like "p" and happens with other keys too. Also at time I go into settings and press on certain options such as Language & Keyboard it reverts to applications or sound settings. I don't know if this is a virus or anything. Does anyone know at all about something like this.
reckoning the keyboard app to be beta, you should post the issue in relevant forum in the keyboard app site.
I've been googling and cruising a number of forums, surely there must be a logical way to get rid of this annoying thing. I am unrooted, locked BL. I have a BT keyboard. Swiftkey installed as system app by default, and I have gboard installed, too. I have an annoying keyboard shortcut of space + shift that brings up the Select input method screen. Seems it's an annoying problem, but without root no easy way to fix?
I disabled swiftkey, and I see the keyboard shortcut helper lists the shift + space shortcut, but there's no way to disable or change it to something else.
Has anyone else with a BT keyboard encountered and solved this? Maybe it's my ebay keyboard and some brief lag that interprets capital letters as my sending the space + shift shortcut. It's nearly impossible to take notes with this thing because the input menu pops up every 10 seconds or so. I'll be travelling to the mainland later this week and would love to find a way to fix this because I want to use the tablet and keyboard to take notes at a conference.
Thank you very much for any help you may have. I thought every answer was on google, but this one is not popping up....
