Hello,
I've installed the miniCM 10 on my x10 mini.
It works fine except that a circle is displayed on the touch screen to represent the select area. It seems to simulate the dual touch function.
However, I don't find this behaviour convenient (or I don't know how to use it). Therefore, I would like to deactivate this behaviour to make it work as the original ROM (select the icon under the finger).
I've tried to install the cypress hotfix, however, it does not work.
Goto settings - dev settings
And find the option show pointer location and disable it

How do I make this feature go away when in landscape mode and I am using the slider? Help!!!
Ummm, hit the keyboard icon right below the onscreen keyboard?
I want it to permanently stay down unless I tell it to pop up. It shouldn't pop up if the slider is out.
null keyboard. should solve the problem (i had it installed on my treo, and i think it should work fine on the TP)

NullKB
While NullKB is the best on-screen keyboard fix I have seen, it's also the ONLY fix I have seen. I have been using it since I had the Sprint HTC Mogul. After installing on The Touch Pro, it tends to keep the KB at bay inconsistently. I am not sure if it stops working automatically upon soft reset but I wish it would control this issue unless otherwise directed.
download 'Advanced Configuration Tool'
Then in the Input section Disable 'auto deploy SIP'

I have never seen that option in Advanced Config.
I will check today to confirm.
I hate touching my phone while sharing internet, They always get cranky and it turns off for some reason.
Null keyboard works. Yay 4 Jugs rom has it built in.
I think he had a newer version then mine. Mine would just load a white box and stay up, His loads the box for a moment, then never comes back. But the bar will come up when its trying to deploy the keyboard.
This one has pissed me off for ages too. Just another one of those things Microsoft should have fixed several versions ago.
I dont think its nessarly their thing.
The dev's just are not writing something in to the phone to tell it to not put the keyboard up when you dont want it.
I dont think its a windows mobile thing at all.
Just remember, what devs think and what actuall users think are tottaly different.
We like no irritations unless we ask for them. They are thinking "well this would be good if the keyboard poped up here right now"
The other problem though with the OSK is that as soon as you bring it up, by accident, or purpose, it will pop up for everything after that. That is the one that bugs me the most.

Okay, I checked advanced config, and the option is there, i set it to disabled. Haven't tested it yet.
Working out another issue with standby at the moment.
Sarinhighwind,
Please let us know if the advanced config changed, worked. The on screen keyboard on my Sprint TP, pops up when I go into landscape mode, and then when I start to type using the slider key pad it disappears.
I don't want it to pop up at all.
Thanks.

Just checked, I forgot to earlier.
It does NOT work.
Like a lot of Advanced config features do not at the moment.
I used AC 3.3
The latest as I know of. Or maybe its 3.2 Whatever it was a few days ago when the TP came out.
This one has annoyed me as well... Using AC 3.2 it works well for me, the SKB does not deploy but it required a soft reset before it would work...
I use version 3.3 and it works fine for me. No more keyboard pop up here.
As above. YES you must do a soft reset before it works.
i see u guys arent recommending advanced config on the htc touch pro cdma .. is there one currently that is better... to change startup pick.. change soft key buttons....change order of tabs on tf3d
Another version of this question: how do I make the pop-up icon appear on every screen? (It does not appear on the today screen, for example).
you would use Diamond Tweak
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:00000001
If you make this entry into the reg it turns it off most of the time, in opera doesn't work
I know this is an old topic but I was looking for a solution for my Verizon XV6850 Touch Pro and Diamond Tweak worked for me (on SSK's 2.1.1 rom) but it's the same thing your gonna have to soft reset.
This was most annoying for me because it would pop up when making calender appointments for drop down menus. If you have a drop down why do you need to type in the time???
Anyway it worked like a charm just go down to keyboard (popup) and select disable and you'll be set

Is there a REG Tweak that tells it to always start in 123 mode? My keyboard is stuck in 123 mode and won't switch when I press the abc button on the screen keyboard...
Has anybody worked out how to remove the language bar which pops up when texting yet? If I have the sudden urge to switch to Catalan half way through a text I will do it long-hand, that bar takes up too much of the already small screen!
Could you post a photo of what you mean,cost I don't get any language bar come up

I cant post a pic of it at the moment, but let me try to explain it better. When i go to enter text using the hardware keyboard a blue bar appears at the bottom of the screen (taking up approx 1/5 of the screen) with "Eng" on the left and an icon to show the status of the Caps lock on the right, along with a close button. This annoys the hell out of me as often when filling in passwords etc it covers up the "Ok" button.
Only way I found on mini pro is
Settings - Locale & Text
Uncheck the default input tick box
This works well on mini pro but stops you using virtual keyboard

Is a good intermediate solution but someone knows a way to get rid of this bar without losing the virtual keyboard?
It's build in built-in keyboard and I think it could not be removed (not easily without root hacks). The half-solution without root is to use another software keyboard.
Yeah installing third party keyboard software gets rid of the blue language bar.
I'm using SlideIt Keyboard which changes the virtual keyboard to a funky Swype-like keyboard but removes the language bar when using the hardware keyboard.

Can anyone recomend a decent keyboard replacement.
Also, i've asked this before (didn't get much of a reposnse) but is there a way to get spell check with the hardware keyboard?

I use AnySoftKeyboard, which is free and provides a reasonably good keyboard for when I don't want to open the hardware keyboard.

Currently there doesn't appear to be one.
I have ended up installing AnySoft keyboard too. Its ok, but removes the function where you could long-press a key to access the blue alternate option on it. It has removed the language bar though so its good enough for me!
Hi devs,
Is there any possibility to mix up 2 different Input methods?
I like to use the android default or some similar qwerty-keyboard for "on screen typing", but if i slide out the hardware keyboard i want to use the SE IME.
So i have to change the IME by pressing text input field manually, every time i wish to use the hardware or reverse.
So my simple question is it possible to mix up IMEs or any other chance to get this managed automatically?
Sent from my X10minipro using XDA App
It should be logically possible to attach a task of switching the input method when the event of keyboard out/screen rotation takes place.
But then again if someone did it it'll be an app that would charge, because it'll be a lot of work for coding and making a ui for it.
Guess you should stick to your fingers for now!
XDA ♥
it is really hard to mix but possible i try and post when it works^^
but its hard
It's been a while since I tried it, but i think i remember there being an app available in market called Keyboard Manager (requiring root access) that allowed this. It needs to run on boot and automatically switches the IME based on keyboard state.
Edit: I was wrong in thinking it read keyboard state, it read rotation sensor state.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ne0fhykLabs.android.utility.kmLauncher
yeah this app is very cool and fits my needs.
As predicted it IS a paid app
Tested, works absolutely great!
Even my device is set up to ignore orientation by rotation sensor, "keyboard manager" seems to recognise the keyboard slide out and changes the IME automatically.
Now I use swiftkey x beta for onscreen and SE IME for keyboard typing...
Thanks a lot!

I'm developer of application that allows to control tablet (or phone) with gestures similar to iPad.
GMD GestureControl on XDA
I added support for Nexus 10, but I didn't know touchscreen resolution, so I need your help.
If your device is rooted, please install application from that thread (or Play Store) and send me calibrations values:
1) Open application
2) Go to 'Advanced' tab
3) Click 'Calibrate' and follow instructions on screen. Basically you have to click 'Start' and then touch borders till calibration values stop increasing (maximum is registered). Then click 'Stop'
4) Open Help tab, click Email developer->Good overridden settings. Application will prepare email with calibration values. Email it to me.
Thank you.
Just sent you an email. Hope it helps but not entirely sure if the values are right because the screen resolution of a Nexus 10 should be 2560x1600.

Thank you. I updated values. Touch screen resolution may differ from display resolution. Android does mapping inside, but I cannot retrieve these values, so I have to add these values into application or users have to do calibration.
Your app rocks!

i wrote a mod to disable the software buttons because i only use gestures now!

Love the work! I have been around XDA for a long time, probably three or four years before I started using this screen name & they added the one name rule. I have always supported those developers that seem good people with great ideas. I never tried your "lite" version, nor did I try any XDA beta versions. I read what the app did, loved the idea, saw a few screen shots & reviews/comments from a few folks I know & respect & instantly purchased both GMD & S-Pen Gesture Control pro apps from the Play Store. I also instantly shared my positive feedback with many via G+ & a few sites.
Having a long XDA history, I have seen a lot of great ideas come & go. Some never quite live up to what they could be, some are ahead of their time & others just are nothing new, just the latest incarnation of some semi-popular feature.
Occasionally though, something comes along that is simple, yet elegant & happens to be an absolutely precise representation of tha natural progression & evolution of base features. This app is just that, the extension of natural progression that touch navigation is becoming. This app is like a feature that should already be integrated from Google, so natural & simple, and yet, so necessary. Anyone that hasn't at least played with this app, is missing out. It is by far my favorite app & I highly recommend supporting the developer, whomever he or she is.

Totally agree (gestures only!). I`m in the middle of making my Nexus 7 `gestures only`... and in the process , I`m getting more screen real estate (no more status/nav bar!). Great app!!
Hey Stupididea, Can you help?
All I want to do is simple snappy ios gestures.
5 finger pinch to home-close
4 finger swipe left or right to switch apps.
5 finger pinch to close-home is not in the default settings so I had to make a custom one.
Its works,.. after 8-9 attempts..
I think Im missing something here. Can you assist with a walk-through of reccomended settings for what im looking to do, or
perhaps update the next build with these settings as a default toggle?
Cheers!

What you wanna do is the following:
1. Go to custom gesture tab
2. press create gesture
3. type in your desired gesture name
4. type "P" (without quotes) in Gesture Path
5. select 5 touch points
6. Tap action type and select: Action -> Status Bar Actions -> Home
7. Hit "Save"
8. You're done!
I need to lay off the sauce.lol I just noticed the 4 finger pinch to close. Works great!
Hi all. I recently got a Callisto 100 and installed monx's EZ SMART ROM on it.
1) Is there any way to disable default gesture(swipe left to go back, swipe right to menu)? I installed GMD Gestures app and want to substitute default ones for other apps using swipe gesture, but I cannot find any menu about it.
2) I'm trying to implement 'flick to power on' feature. So far I managed to make the screen turn on with Shake app, but it just shows the screen I used last, not the lockscreen(default watch face). Is there a way to do this properly?
3) Are there any useful free watch face app or lockscreen app I can use instead of dull default watchfaces?
Thanks in advance.
