I recently got the JasJam and wanted to know is it possible for a developer to be able to write a code for a '123' keyboard with the 'abc' letters on each number to appear when typing an sms with T9 functionality.
Your replies would be much appreciated..
Thanx.
lol, I would probably be prepared to be flamed for this...
And we wonder why people get in accidents...
I've never seen anything like what you are asking for though, and I think that it would still be very hard to do something like this while driving since it's a touch screen...
actually i think it'd be easier if somebody could write a code to modify the normal keyboard to accept sliding...
that is, if you poke at G then move to H and release at H, H gets typed not G
this makes things very easy to use 1 handed as you can keep your finger pressed to verify what is being typed before actually typing the letter

no he has a valid point... trying to type in porn websites on your hermes while you're masturbating is quite tricky.
also... yes it is possible to do; if MS have released docs on writing your own keyboard map, then it could easily be done
you could try the phone pad cab in the ftp under tools and programs, it gives you the option to have the onscreen keyboard work like a normal phone pad with t9 predictive text
Well, there is an application that I use for one hand SMS. I don't actually use it when I am driving, however I do use it when I don't feel like sliding the keyboard. The app is "Tengo Thumb" and below is the URL and it is not free.

Thanx for the replies. Will try TenGo and let u know how it works out..

phone cab is the way to go. Install it, then soft reset and select it instead of the on screen keyboard and you tap on your screen as if its a phone with a keypad.
Pls excuse me..
I am having diffculties locating the Phone cab file..
Pls help.
Installed TengoThumb but it takes time getting used to.
Thanx in advanced.
Found it.
Thanx for your help gents.
Here's the link incase anyone else was looking for it.

@kastro,
I have never used Phone-Pad so I am interested on you thought between the two products.
The reason why i ask this is because it is difficult to type an sms when driving...

Click to collapse
In the this country it is not only difficult but illegal! I nearly got killed by somebody using his phone while driving.
for those that don't know after installing the phone cab and restarting you have to select the onscreen keyboard and then press the arrow next the keyboard button
as for how it works, I find it pretty responsive, the t9 works as well as other phones, although if your a fast typer you can outpace the phone sometimes, I didn't find it a big problem.
the only real negatives I found was leaving fingerprints on half myscreen and the phone pad is a lot taller than the normal keyboard
OMg txting while driving
@lpsi2000
Phone pad is much better and more practical to use. It's exactly like using a normal keypad to type T9 sms's - it's actually even better..
The driving was simply an example to 1 hand typing. I started the thread cos there was no possible way i could continue with the Jasjam using its current features to type out an SMS.
And yes, it is illegal in my country... But who obeys the laws at the best of times?
i use the full keyboard while driving yes yes, flame me now...
but actually it works out kinda better, as i can put both hands on the wheel while holding the keyboard and still keep my eyes on the road...
WARNING, do not try this at home, this is a stunt performed by a professional with years and years of texting experience. I will not be held responsible for your inability to multi-task
@kastro,
Thanks for the tip and I will give it a shot.
@shogunmark,
Using the full keyboard while driving is definitely not an easy task especially at night. I agree with the warning, please do not try at home.
Any keyboards out there? I've tried all the ones I could find.
Resco
FKB2
Stock
They all suck.
The only one that is okay is boogiecornejo's revised KB. Anybody know of any project or any keyboard that is good?
I like Swype, SlideIT and Touchpal
I agree... Swype rocks!
Swype is good, but not for typing fake words.
All I can say is, that the 10$ I spent for SlideIT was one of the best invests I ever made As I am writing messages in both German and English, SlideIT for me was the best solution. Switching languages and having separate user dictionaries is very easy.

For me it works ok, ive taught it many abbreviated words, the dictionary learns relatively well

Agreed, i alternate between Swype (currently v2.0 as is faster than 3.9) and SlideIT all the time, both are so good but from a langauage point of view, SlideIT wins for sure.
Also takes up alot less memory vs Swype. Also has the cool features of having the SIP built in and the abbreviations that you can teach it. I just type a few letters and my saved passwords type which is cool. Just a shame there are on skins out there as it does look crap lol.
I find it does often type faster as you dont have to double swoop around repeated letters etc but when letters in a work are close to eachtoher, sometimes SlideIT just doesnt get it, then i use Swype and it types it no probs.
Apparently SlideIT 4.1.0.3 is to be upgraded soon but ive been hearing that for a while lol.
I have had issues with Swype since installing the first ICS, where it would stop working, cause the screen to freeze at the most inconvenience times. I thought I was alone with this problem, it appears not here.
I tried troubleshooting, reinstalling, clearing cache, uninstalling, reinstalling, fresh boot with nothing else loaded, nothing worked and I don't know what my problem must of been and was surprised I couldn't find anything else with it.
I searched for an alternative keyboard that would cut the mustard, I don't mind paying for things, but found slideIt not particularly good on the trial, also I do like the way Swype worked when it worked, so was looking for something similar, think I found it below.
I'm not one to normally worry about bothering anyone else, however after my woes of Swype and getting pretty much to the point of going back to Gingerbread because of it I have been very impressed, you can also utilize the unconventional keyboard layout if you wish.
Give it a go, worth it, for free anyway!

Good you found someone else with the issue but still there are far many more including me who got zero issues.

I always use stock ROM or AOSP.
I format system every Time I went frm one type to other.
And I only use Swype as I'm used to it and even thinking about typing is tyring.
I can't believe I just read that spam excuse of a post, in Comic Sans MS no less
Is it possible to un-see something?

Throw it back over here when you're done so I can do mine.

May I take it from your comment you don't want me to post any more.
I'll just observe, good job everyone doesn't just do that, xda would be dead and buried...
Go troll and spread your love elsewhere if you've no post related comment or have any form of positive input..
is there any way to export my existing swype personal dictionary to the new version? please note that the app has a different name to the previous versions...
Yeah, I'm trying to figure this out myself... subscribing.
not completely sure, but i think the personal dictionary moves along to new version.
Also, where are you updating from? I looked in the installer, the keyboard settings and it doesn't say anything about updating?
I just went back to the website to download new installer. I saw in the announcement thread that it might take up to 72 hours for the update to hit the phone.
However, it's no longer named "Swype"... it's named "Swype Beta" now. And the data folder changed from com.swype.android.inputmethod --> to com.nuance.swype.input. In this new program folder, there isn't the same swypedata folder that contains the udb folder, which holds the actual UserData.udb dictionary file...
Upon initial install and testing, the existing user data was not there. Although I could have borked the "proper" process by going around the built-in updater - but I'm impatient and there was no "check for update" or anything similar for me to make it reach out and pull it down.
I'm rebooting now to see if that folder appears after adding a few words to the dictionary in the new Swype Beta.
I think that new swype wont save your old dictionary since the 3.26+ version is made with new language engine and whole database and core of the app is different
I was frustrated by this as well but the new version is pretty nice, there's a SMS to Swype app that will help import some personal words, helps when starting over.
Ya, even though the old user dictionary won't convert over, this new version of Swype is amazing. Its accuracy and prediction improved alot.....I noticed the keyboard removed some useless fluff buttons as well to make it easier to press others.

Oh so it's because of the new folder and core system? hmm maybe I could try and mess around and move the files to the new folder but... since it now integrates the "learn from your accounts & stuff" function, like Swiftkey... migrating the dictionaries becomes a little... irrelevant at least for me

In my case the Swype icon just poped in the Notification bar when I logged today to my wifi at home. Anyways it should have an option saying "updates" or at least it should check periodically for update info. All swype pads usually do :x
One thing that caught my eye tho... was the huge difference in sizes from the previous app I was using to the new beta version... the former has around 5MB and the latter around 10MB! I was like "whaaaaaaaaaat!?"
I'd suggest checking out the Swype beta forum.
Yes, there is some pretty good stuff in the "new beta", but I've actually gone back to the previous one for the time being.
First, the custom dictionary is NOT compatible, that seems non-negotiable.
Also I don't like the new method for swapping languages, nor do I like how each language has its own keyboard layout.
I have just noticed that my phone has not managed to go to sleep since the new beta was chosen as the default input method, though I need to look into this a bit more, starting with their beta forum. But it's an unusual coincidence...
I only type in English....so any weird Language swapping issues don't bother me at all
Sucks you can't import it, but it's worth starting again for the new features - i've been using the new version for a few days and imo it's far superior
Yes it's far superior, but can any one pull the trick of importing the old dictionary,I'm really missing my dictionary n at the same time want the latest version

I'm really not liking this new Beta, how do you revert to the old version? When I try it just installs the new version again?

I was able to have both versions simultaneously on my Phone. Under language and keyboard settings, the new one is called "Swype Beta" while the old one is just called "Swype". I originally had the old version like everyone else but I never got the update notification....so I went and manually downloaded the new version. The new version did not overwrite the old....it made a separate keyboard entirely.
I was so happy with the new version, I just uninstalled the old version
I had both versions but stupidly deleted the old version, installer and apk. Just wondering if I can get it another way.
Found the old version, all's good!
From http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?6389-Next-Generation-Swype-Beta-June-2012-Details-inside -
"NOTE:The user dictionary from ALL previous Swype Beta versions will not work with the new version of Swype Beta. Unfortunately, we couldn't make necessary improvements to the underlying architecture of Swype while maintaining backwards compatibility. Check out personalization in Swype Settings > Swype Connect to quickly train your dictionary back up."
This is kind of a bummer, but the fact that I can delete any and all nonsense bs words I want trumps that disappointment.
"…AND, you asked for it! Swype Beta now supports:
Default dictionary editing! Just long press on the word when it’s in the horizontal candidate list to remove it from your default dictionary"
I have trouble with question mark use....
When swyping from "m" to spacebar it enters "M." a lot, the keyboard didn't used to do this, just new version for me....
Anyone else?
I'm using HTC EVO 4G LTE.

Unfortunate but not completely lost
I had to install through Swype Installer to receive the new one. It is so much better. Single tap typing has improved greatly as well as the swiping.
You can't import your old Dictionary but contained in the new Swype Beta settings are options for it to import your texts, gmail, twitter, and facebook account so it will adapt to your way of typing/speech.
I still had to add a few but for the most part, this importing of words worked very well.

Same here. When using English dictionary it's ok but when I change to my default language which is Czech it's nearly impossible to Swype question mark. No problems with !

Can someone please tell me how to teach the STUPID Samsung keyboard on the S6/Edge a new word, or a word/letter that I don't want it to keep autocorrecting every single time!!
I've been trying to teach it "N" or "n" as I use that in place of "and" quite often, but every single time since the phones been released, its been turning it into "now" or "no". So frustrating.
This is just a single example of hundreds of my words it corrects, for instance, when I write "Hi" at the top of an email, it changes it to "His". Seriously, what kind of a joke is this by Samsung on all of us?
In the settings it says that any words entered repeatedly over a week will be added to the dictionary, but this is obviously bs, as not a single one of my words has been added so far, and I repeat them frequently on purpose!
Please help me out someone, this is driving me up the wall. I know I can change keyboards, but these days in trying to stand out keyboards are adding too much useless crap, instead of good features (please suggest some that have the same features available such as emojis etc)
I look forward to your replies!

Choose between Swiftkey Keyboard and Google Keyboard. I personally use both, I switch for certain purposes.

Hit the thanks button already.
Don't be ridiculous, the emoji's character code, which I assume is ASCII are all the same throughout the computer world. They just look different based on how a computer or app interprets the code.

Lets not forget the main question here, how to teach the keyboard a new word? Samsung claims it learns your writing style, but clearly this is not the case. Even when I click the suggested word, 50 times, it doesn't add it to the dictionary, so this topic is still open.
As for the emojis, of course each app interprets the same code with its own images, but I'm after the end user experience here, so the choice of emoji images used are important to me.
kind regards

Clear the data of the Samsung keyboard. Works fine on my end. Check out SwiftKey Neural keyboard.
