Hardware Keyboard Symbols not working - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Since updating to JB with the nobodyatall custom kernel, my hardware keyboard blue square button does not work to select symbols. Does anyone know what I have to do to fix this on my mini pro?

I have now the same problem with a new install on my sons gsm. I will post here when I have a fix. I expect that I have to edit a keyboard-layout xml. Problem will be that they are layout specific.
Which layout has your hardware keyboard?

Did anyone manage to sort this in the end as I am still looking for a solution.

[Request] Phone Pad install cab

Hi all,
Can any one post the Phone Pad install cab?
Cloudyf's latest version (Prophet S4V.19701.01) doesn't came with it.

I'll have to cab that up...
I don't really know the name but the Shadow versions had it and the Mysterious Rom had it also.
The Mysterious Rom Image has it there, although the newer versions had a different theme (black one).

Umm... Was it touch styled (black and grey) or WM cheap plasticky feel? Also, was there a qwerty version?
For the touch styled version, look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533
You rule! That was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks

No probs! There is also a Diamond version of it...
It worked well, it was what I was looking for... but the disable xT9 disables the HTC Touch Pad, the HTC Touch Keyboard always apears even when the pad option is selected.
Is there any known problem and solution for this?

One question... What did you do to disable xT9? Did you go through the options, or edit some registry keys?
I edited the reg, added the changes that came in a reg file that was in the folder disable XT9 that came with the files. Simply run the reg file. I also tried a cab that I had from the shadow verison to disable the XT9 and the result was the same.

[Q] [Request] Keyboard application

Hi everyone.
I bought one of these phones and I came to a problem. Before this one I had a Xperia X8 and it's keyboard had an useful feature: while typing, if I made any mistake it suggested words, ie, imagine typing 'hekko' and there was a suggestion 'hello'. The android keyboard doesn't have any dictionary, I have to insert every single word, the LG keyboard only gives me "predictions" (if I mistype any word, it won't give me any suggestion).
Do you know any keyboard app that does the same of X8's?
I'm using Smart Keyboard PRO. It's not for free, but it's work realy nice for me. Becouse I'm from czech, find support for this minor language is really hard, but this keyboard have it! I also wrote some time in eglish and it works also fine. I love many of possiblities how to configure this keyboard.
It cost $2.73 so it's not too much I think. If you are not sure, you can also use trial version of this keyboard for free.

Does anyone know where to get a functioning multilanguage Swype for the LG? I managed to install Version 2.6.47.11856 on my HTC Desire, but on my girlfriends Optimus One it crashes when I try to type something.

I installed Swype on Opt1 and it works very well without any crash.
What version did you use? Probably I missed to tick something in the settings

I have installed your own version using a file.apk.
The file name is swype_2.6.47.11856_HVGA.apk , If you want I can upload the file.apk on some free host and so you can download and install it on your opt1.

Ahh, I tried to install my WVGA-version on the Optimus 1, so that's probably causing the app to crash! thx!
i got the apk by searching swype_2.6.47.11856_HVGA.apk in google
IMHO you should give a try to HTC Ime

Hello,
I must say that until now the LG keyboard is the best. It has the xt9 feature and is capable to write in so many languages. Don't know what issue u have with yours nut mine works like a charm. Some times misses a word but nothing dramatic.
Cheers

In my previus phone (galaxy i7500), the Android keyboard was able to autocomplete.
I don't know why the Android keyboard on the O1 is lacking this feature.
I'm using the LG keyboard aswell. Took me a bit to come into it,but it's really good and has an autocomplete feature.

How are those "suggestions" different from the LG keyboards autocorrections (which IIRC have to be turned on in the settings menu)? IMHO the LG keyboard is pretty good at guessing what I meant to type.
ive got big fingers....any sugestion to a better aranged keyboard and some "large" letters?

I second the motion for Smart Keyboard. I use the FREE trial.
While you are at it, you may want to try out "autotext" which is a great "text expander". i.e. you type "xda" it can suggest: "forums.xda-developers.com" if you configure it to.
I use mine to expand signatures, email addresses, and even templates.
plus, it supports macros: %d is expanded to current date, %t to current time.
additionally, you can resize the key heights, if you want to see more of the screen or want a bigger key for bigger fingers.
also set it to learn new words, and use your Contacts Dictionary.
It's a great keyboard.
-------------------------------------
You may want to check WiFi Keyboard as well, if you have a wireless router setup at home, it will enable you to enter from your PC Keyboard over wifi.
-------------------------------------
If you do not know yet, long press on a "text box" will allow you to switch "Input Method" (a.k.a. keyboard on the fly)
Good day! Hope this helps you out!
Resizing Smart Keyboard Keys

you can resize "smart keyboard" keys.
Home Screen --> menu key --> settings --> Language and Keyboard --> Smart Keyboard Trial --> General Settings --> Key Height
And as I mentioned in a previous post, you may want to check out "Wifi Keyboard", if you have access to a wireless router and your PC. That way you get to use a real keyboard.
Good Day! Hope this helps!

Common Problem of All X10MP Users: Keyboard

Hello all,
I think that our developers are doing great by making beautiful custom roms for us. But with almost every rom of X10 Mini Pro, many of us have encountered a common problem: The Keyboard Problem
I will explain what exactly the problem is, and request emerging developers to sort the matter out.
Problem 1: With every rom if you are using onscreen qwerty keyboard and suppose suddenly you want to type with slide out physical keyboard, then you will find that all other keys work fine on physical keyboard except Symbol (Sym) key. To make the symbol key work, one has to change the 'input method' to 'default input' and in that case user could not access onscreen qwerty back until he changes the 'input method' again to default one. I mean to say that it is really a big pain every time changing the input method. Please can someone make the qwerty keyboard layout such that it can work onscreen as well as physical one should also work fine (including symbol key). Remove the default input (SE) and make the qwerty one as default with Sym key working on slideout keyboard. Maybe some one can port XMP keyboard to our X10MP but the keys are different in both type so one need to play around the key layout.
Problem 2: Keyboard light never works perfectly (like stock rom) on any rom. I don't know why our developers did not pay attention to this common but serious issue. I know that we have KFIX apk for that but one need to keep it always on and it always runs in background eating our little amount of RAM. Nobody wants that.
Can anyone make a flashable zip so that both the above said problems will be solved (Atleast for MiniCM7).
Thanks in advance.
I hope whoever will solve these issues will get huge number of thanks and appreciation from X10MP community.

try folowing this
try copying the lights.mimmi.so or lights.delta so from /system/lib/modules on miniCM7 to this ROM and see if lights work. if this was built from source they're not included by default.
i use a firedroid and had the same problem then i take other rom that has perfect keyboard light rom and put it in my firedroid rom zip. and it works fine now. credit goes to atis112 for the firedroid and x10man for the solution.
Can't find lights.mimmi.so

Hi! Sad to say I couldn't find lights.mimmi.so or lights.delta in the /system/lib/modules folder- it was completely empty, in fact, except for a .placeholder file. I downloaded MiniCM7-2.2.1-robyn.zip, update-FireDroid-2.3-mimmi.zip, and MiniCM7-2.2.0-mimmi.zip . Can you perhaps post the file involved, or point to the right download?
Much appreciated!

Wow, switching back to the default keyboard made everything work perfectly! It means my touchpad KB is dialpad style, but the flip-out KB works perfectly now, lights.mimmi.so by the way was under /system/lib/hw folder. It looks like I don't have to install it though, so long as I'm satisfied with the 3x4 taptouch touch keypad.

Problem 1 :
Can't make comment about this one, since I always use default input method, and never use android keyboard.
Problem 2 :
There are people already trying to fix this issue.
And actually, this issue is not always found in every phone (and ROM)..
I just flashed ArcMiniNxt 6 by Pranaj (sorry if misspelling), and the keyboard light don't have problems at all. At first, even MiniCm7 and MiniCM 9 by nAa doesn't have this issue at all (in my experience, though). As the time goes on (and I install this and that and doing tweaking this and that), then the keyboard starts going haywire. So, it's not fully to ROM and Kernel I guess..
I think problem one was fixed in the latest nightly, as was two with the inclusion of mimmiparts.apk. the files you were looking for are in /system/lib/hw but they won't help.

*Whistle!* Looking forewards to trying it! Currently the nightly builds links at download.cyanogenmod.com are giving 404's though, so no luck there. Thegoogle miniCM repository doesn't host the nightly builds either, but <3 it for information and stable builds. (Sorry folks, I'm not out of newb status yet so can't post external URLs, but I'm working on my post-count!)
<3's to this forum for bringing me successfully through modding my own U20i. Kudos X10man, thank you for the tidbit of info!

[Q][Req] stock hardware keyboard funcionality on JB

Hi, Guys.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the original hardware keyboard functionality (e.g. you press the blue button in the left button corner, press 'r' and get the number 1) on Jelly Bean? I've been experimenting a lot with the keychars directory, but I think JB uses a completely different way in processing a hardware keyboard.
So, can any devs maybe help?
Many people believe that the stock SE keyboard app, combined with the hardware keyboard, is the best way to use our phone's capability, so I'd be very greatful if somebody could give me some tips...
P.S.: Please tell me if this maybe belongs in the development section...

Check out the RBAP for MiniCm10, there is a workaround made by allesand, which uses the stock SE keyboard if the hardware keyboard is pulled and a properly working softwarekeyboard for onscreen operations (the stock SE keyboard is almost unusable with the touchscreen on JB).
