First specs Neo's AOKP, swype or stock keyboard no "enter" key only smileys when in sms (stock/handcent) app
Ok I'm pretty sure I'm just not finding it. There has to be a setting to enable/disable the stupid smiley key and get the enter/return key back.
Anyone out there know exactly where this option is located?
Probably not.
Different apps can tell the keyboard to show or hide certain keys.
I'm gonna pull the stock keyboard and post here..aokp/cm are to small

Alright, I HATE Swype, and basically all keyboards under WinMo except for the default full QWERTY. I hit the stupid keyboard open/close button ALL THE TIME when trying to hit the space bar, and I am tired of it. Is there any way to completely remove or otherwise disable this button? Thanks to anyone who can help.
I too am very frustrated when I just want to hide the keyboard and instead a popup appears to choose form other keyboard types :-/
Is it possible to only use the QWERTY keyboard without any other to choose from?
Or Just assign only show/hide keyboard function to that button...
I got used to touch the button on the left side, but anyway I would love to disable this feature as well.
This isn't a too much of a big deal, but curiosity kills me. Since the SGS 2 looks like it lacks a dedicated search button, I wonder if it has a substitute?
What I appreciated on my Nexus One is the search button which is excellent to Google something on the fly and to activate Voice Search. So I'm just wondering if the SGS 2 will have something to generate a quick search or if the U.S. variants will have search buttons?
like the first galaxy S i9000 , you will be able to long press the menu button to simulate the search button
And for the voice search double pressing the home button will do the trick as seen on the vids floating the web
Search seems like the biggest waste of.a button ever. Never missed it on the i9000 at all.

I never used my search-button as it is now, but if the menu-button long-press is assigned to search, how do you switch on and off the on-screen keyboard?
On other android-devices a long-press of the menu-button will activate/deactivate the on-screen keyboard.

I have a Hero, never ever have I had to long press the menu button to get the keyboard up/down. It comes up when it's needed, it disappears with a press of the "hide keyboard" button or the back button!

The hide keyboard button is only on HTCs Sense keyboard no? It's certainly not there on the stock android keyboard.
I've had instances where the keyboard blocked part of the screen and if I had pressed the back button the program would've closed/gone to a previous screen and I wouldn't have been able to do what I wanted without pulling down the keyboard with a long press of the menu-button.
It might not be a big problem or something that occurs often, but it can be annoying and that's why I ask.

You just hit the "Back" button to hide the keyboard
As he just explained, in certain programs (very few) pressing the "back" button to switch off the on-screen keyboard can quit the progrmam you are actually using. But samsung made a very neat trick for that since the first version of the Galaxy S i9000, just swipe down from the upper part of the keyboard to the bottom and the keyboard will disappear, no need for a specific button. I find it very intuitive personnaly, and in the same situation you can also swipe left or right in the keyboard area to switch from letters to numbers view back and forth.
That is an excellent feature. Do any other phones do this?
I don t know any other phone that do so natively, but there is some third party keyboards that copied that (just like CyanogenMod and everyone else copied the wifi, bluetooth etc toggles in the notification bar) "smart keyboard" or "better keyboard" I think.
Meh, I love the design but I love my search button; using Vlingo, I can hold the button and tell my phone to do whatever I want, much better than tgr default Google voice command app.

That's no big deal, you can easily fix it with a third party app.
And btw it's a matter of time for Android 2.4 Ice cream to come.. and there are rumors that it won't need buttons at all...

Doubtful... Why would I want screen real estate taken up with buttons? It works on a tablet, It would be nonsensical on a phone.
samsung hasn't actually officially confirmed if there will be a 2.4 update...

They haven't confirmed that the SGS will get Gingerbread either yet I'm running XXJVK which is Android 2.3.3.
Is there a way to replace this damn button with a line space? My old BlackBerry even had this feature.
I used this keyboard, but all the return button did was send the message...
Is there a legit way to replace the smiley button with line space? And still use the stock SMS app?
Never mind. Finally found a solution.
I hate the smiley key, but love the cm9 ics messaging app and keyboard. I'm currently using go sms pro in which the ics keyboard has an enter/ new line key instead of the smiley key. Is it possible to somehow get this key to replace the smiley one in the stock app? Thanks
Note. I also really like the the touchwiz sms app, and it does have the enter key, is there an apk i could download that would work on CM9 (im assuming if you extracted it from stock samsung leaked XXKP8 or XXPKPA It woud work.
I think you have to decrypt (or something like this) the extracted apk, so for now use a market keyboard...
However, I sometimes use go keyboard, which has enter key (if you long press the smile button) and when i press it, it just sends the sms!
I like the default keyboard too

yeah, i heard you had to decompile the mms apk and remove / edit a line, but i dont know how to decompile
As for market keyboard, i dont really love any, i much prefer the stock ics keyboard

Works the same and has the return/enter key versus the smiley button.

it changes to the smiley in the messeges app, but cm9 now has an option to what the soft key is
I was just wondering if it would be possible to add a smiley's button to a sense keyboard instead of having to hit menu and insert smiley every time. On all of the aosp roms the smiley button is where the enter key would be but if you add that keyboard to a sense rom it doesn't show up so if anyone knows how to modify the sense keyboard to have that button that would be awesome!
other keyboards with smiley
I have tried every keyboard looking for one that combines all the greatest features including a working smiley key. Swiftkey seems to be the over all best. But it has some serious issues with lag on ICS, so had to give it up, even though it's prediction, including adding missing space, is way above everyone else, sometimes it would not do predictions within apps though. Touchpal has nice prediction and a good enter key that brings up smiley with a long press as well as a great feature of getting the alt key meaning by swiping the key up or down. Smart keyboard has good text prediction, long press to get smiley on enter key. My favorite right now is Perfect Keyboard. Perfect keyboard lets me tailor the long press duration, it has great prediction, and like swiftkey will fill in missing space bar presses. With perfect keyboard a long press get the smileys, plus Perfect keyboard does even a better job than the others of continuing to do predictions even within apps like shopping lists, google play, etc.

Works well. I loved the HTC_Mod before as well, and somebody ported it over to XHDPI devices; he's still trying to get it working on JB, but it works fine on ICS.
