a non-stock keyboard that doesnt break sms input?

[elosogrande7076]

Hey everyone,


Does anyone know of or is using a non-stock kb that doesn't break sms name input or t9? I have tried various ones but with no luck. I'm currently using Mr. X rom's but havent really had any luck with any custom rom. Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, i should have said that im currently using Finger keyboard but have also tried SPB and Rescoe keyboards. I dont know if it is something i am doing/not doing to cause it but when i try to text someone, i cant just enter one letter into the name field to bring up my contacts....i have to enter a few letters then backspace to get my contacts.

have you tried fingerkeyboard? I don't know if it will do what you want since I disable t9, but you could try it and see.
It would also help if you edit your post and tell which ones you have tried.

Sorry, i will edit it. and thank you for the quick response. I have tried FingerKeyboard as thats the one i currently use (just have to deal with it not working but love it otherwise). Are you able to input a letter into the name field of text and it bring up your contact list? for me, i have to type out a few letters then hit backspace before any names come up. again thanks for your help.

I don't think that is a function of the keyboard because it works perfectly for me. As I type a name, all potential matches pop up on the screen, as more letters are typed, the list becomes more refined.
I don't use this method too often, since I use mobile shell and it's contact's list is easier to use than the Winmo one.

thanks, i noticed the one you had worked but the one i have (not sure where i got it from) doesnt....also i noticed the one i have has the phrases built in where yours doesnt. Maybe that is the key....thanks again

i use this keyboard and it works great

EDIT:you also need to install sdkcerts.cab before you install this if you havent already installed it.

TouchPal 3.5 will do what you want & is hands-down the best KB available after a small learning curve (& yes, I am including Swype in that statement)

PM me for info.

Hello John
Is there any reason you dont use touchpal 4.0? Seems to be the latest one. Im wondering if it gave you any problems on the touch pro 2

Swype 3.9 was horrible really slowed down my touch pro 2

I tried 4.0 & hated it, most long time TP users do not like the changes they made in 4.0.

Both versions work perfectly in the TP2.

I have Swype also as it came in my ROM, but I hate it (I just don't understand the appeal of that setup myself)

do you have a cab for the 3.5 touchpal (trial version of course). Tried 4.0 and didn't like it.
