Motorola Droid 2 :: Possible To Change Virtual Keyboard Into An ABC Style?
Nov 26, 2010
I just got my Droid 2 today, and I have a few questions to ask with one notable one.
Most importantly, is it possible to change the virtual keyboard into an ABC style instead of the traditional QWERTY? I'm not sure which I would stick with in the end, but I would like to try out another orientation.
Wi-fi drains the battery, right? I have horrible phone service at my house(home for the holidays) but at school the service is great, should I bother using Wi-Fi regularly?
Also is it possible to have the screen wake up when it is touched? The lock screen seems a bit unnecesary considering that there is already a lock button, so it would be nice to disable one or the other.
EDIT: Also, it seems like my phone has decided to spam my contact list with all of my Facebook "friends." That seems like it could cause some problems...
Also do you have any suggestions for a music player over the standard one? I have not really looked through the market yet personally(mostly due to the horrible service here), so any suggestions are welcome.

Is there a way to make the phone vibrate when typing on the Virtual Keyboard? Kinda like the Eris'.... I have my phone set to vibrate when you press the capacitive quick keys, and other functions the phone deems necessary to vibrate, but cant find anything for the keyboard. It would be very helpful with typing, reassuring that you actually hit the key when typing fast.

I went to the native Running Services to see what apps were running in the background. I accidentally ended the "keyboard" service, and now I can't find it to bring it back?
Every time i try to enter text in any field the virtual keyboard will not show, and it forces me to use the physical keyboard.
How do I get it back?

When do you think the Droids virtual keyboard will be improved? It just seems like the HTC is much easier to type fast and correct. There is no calibration with the Droid or multitouch. Do you think that this will be improved in the near future or if there will be an app to replace it?

Is it possible to use a different virtual keyboard for the search function vs other apps? Right now swype is my default virtual keyboard, but it is not good for searching names and stuff. Can I change to use different keyboard just for when I hit the search button on droid? How do I do it.

Just wondering if anyone else runs into this problem.... Every so often, I go to type in a message, either on the pop up from handcent, or in the actual program, and no matter what I hit, the keyboard doesn't type anything. I can switch inputs from Swype to Android keyboard and usually it doesnt do anything (though sometimes it starts working again). Sometimes it fixes itself if I leave it alone for a few minutes, but other times it needs a battery pull to fix. It's not a huge deal as it doesn't happen every time i use the phone, but definitely something I wish didn't happen

I tried to re-implement what HTC did with the One X, One S, etc, where they have physical back, home, recent apps keys, and a virtual menu button pops up under apps that need a menu button. I don't have an Android device, so I was only able to test it under the emulator, I have only tested it with the Facebook app, but it seems to work fine.
The patch is against AOSP 4.1.1, to activate it in the emulator, set hw.mainKeys=yes and hw.menuButton=no in hardware.ini. For a real device, you'd need to set config_showNavigationBar to false and config_showLegacyMenuButton to true.
Because this is just a proof of concept, it pops up the entire ICS navigation bar with all four buttons instead of just the menu button. But that's not hard to fix.

With the physical keyboard you can catch key presses with a KeyListener, something like. code...
Does anyone know how to do this (or similar) with the virtual keyboard?

I'm getting the G1 next weekend and am wondering how long until a virtual keyboard will be available. I really like the idea of having a full slide-out keyboard but I would also like a virtual one so if I'm not wanting to say much I can just use the virtual keyboard or if I'm in an area where it needs to be quiet I don't need to have the sound of the keyboard sliding open.

At the moment my base style inherits from android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar. Is there any way I can change it to inherit from Theme.Black.NoTitleBar in code? I notice apps like Handcent has a settings option to do this, but I can't quite figure out how to do this.

First virtual kb, came from 11 years of Blackberry use. I really like the EVO, it is a lot more powerful than the BB. However, I can not seem to master this kb. I have gone from being able to click out about 35 wpm on a bb, to struggling to get through a 100 character text with this. I have installed "better keyboard" from the market, it did help slightly. I still have the same issues of getting a . when I thought I hit space, an a when I thought I hit s, etc. I know the words fill in on a bar above but that is very hard to watch as you type and makes it even slower.
Is there a good keyboard out that anyone uses? I have no interest in swype, so I am not going to go that route. The problem seems to be the size and shape of the EVO, holding in portrait, the kb is too small and the phone has to be constantly adjusted to keep it from slipping, then of course, if you barely even touch the screen or a button, it acts on that. In landscape, its almost too wide and you have to reach for certain keys and always hit another on your way over. It would help maybe, if there was anyway at all to adjust sensitivity.

Basically I want to capture Alt-key combination to provide some customized alternative text input. For example Alt-f would put FOO into the text field. However there doesn't seem to be ALT key on the virtual keyboard in ether portrait or landscape. Is it possible to fake Alt key on the virtual keyboard somehow?

I have developed an app that uses setTextFilterEnabled(true). It works perfectly on my G1. My partner has a new MyTouch phone that does not have a real keyboard. He cannot use this functionality at all. He tried holding down the menu key(and so have I) but the keyboard does not appear. Without a keyboard, this app is dead on arrival.
I am trying the following code to no avail.

Assuming the "Better Terminal Emulator" selling for $3.99 in the marketplace works, are there any other terminal apps that work with the Eris that people are using? I tried the free "Terminal Emulator" but it appears a virtual keyboard does not work.
