After spending the last 5 days trying different rom's and configurations I finally got my phone just as I want it - perfect - (apart from my emails not syncing but that's been like that for a while )
Anyway last night I went to send a text message and noticed my keyboard looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
as you can see the screen has sort of jumped up a little and it makes the spacebar bigger and all the symbols are half cut off. It is only the portrait keyboard that does this.
I have seen this before by someone on this forum but after a search I can not find the post.
I don't want to hard reset my phone for what'll feel like the thousandth time so does anyone have a solution to my problem. I was thinking that maybe someone could send me their keyboard files (if you know where they are) so i can copy them to my phone and see if it solves it.
Thanks
anyone know of a fix
I had the exact problem only yesterday mate. I flashed Dutty's latest ROM and everything was great. I then installed the currency keyboard cab (it gives a £ on the standard keyboard) and it did what you've shown above. Uninstalling it did nothing, so I did a hard reset. That wasn't a big deal for me as I'd only just flashed the ROM.
What ROM do you have?
just as I finished writing this I thought I'd unistall the currency keyboard plugin and the touch screen 3.3 cab to see if it made any difference.
After a reset my phone completely froze over so I pulled the battery out and then it booted up fine and the problem has gone away.
I've used both of these cab's everytime I have hard reset my phone and never had a problem. Strange.
I'm gonna install the touch cab again and then back everything up and then install the currency one again and see if the problem comes back.
I'm using Miri's HD2 6.5.x V3 rom

I'm pretty sure you'll find it's that cab then. Last night, after a hard reset, I checked the keyboard and it was fine. I then installed the currency cab and the keyboard was immediately knackered. I had to hard reset to get rid of it though, so you've had more luck fixing it than I had.
ok cheers for the info. I'm not going to bother installing the currency cab again then

Me neither. Its a shame though.
Saying that, I don't think I've used the £ character since that cab was made lol
you guys need to be checking out swype... it is by far the best keyboard i have ever used on a mobile device!
http://www.swypeinc.com/tips-tricks.html
the cab install is floating around xda somewhere

I was using this for a while in a beta ROM made available to me and was not allowed to share but... I just saw the cab posted elsewhere so I'm posting it here.
Very interesting to say the least!
Enjoy!

Thanks Dr P this is a great improvment on the current X-button Thanks for the Great find and sharing!!!
Thanks!Work great on my TYTN with ITA ROM!!!
Try pbar
More features, very low memory, a worth replacement (and you can turn on BT/Wifi with it)
thanks for posting this. it sure looks a lot nicer and seems a bit more responsive than version 1.51, but uses a lot more memory, I'm down almost 2MB after installing. anyone else experience this?
I've been using this for a week now (got it from "It's Right - TNT") with no issues and is an improvement over 1.5x
Can't click the top bar battery icon unless I tap and hold and programs in the exclusion list seem to open up slow, other than that it's nice .
Thanks Dr Puttingham,
it's working great on a Sprint Mogul as well, no issues I've seen yet.
It's nice having the couple of extras on the drop down menu.
Thanks Again

This is a very nice evolution - thank you for sharing.
thanks very much, got same features as O2 plus, but that wasn't very stable I think. Nice update.

Yes indeed, we owe all thanks to It's Right for this. I was testing a ROM in August for another cook (not It's Right) that had it cooked in. To protect sources I couldn't speak of it..... but now that's history!
Kudo's to It's Right!
Great improvement....thanks
Thanks! Works great on my AT&T 8525.
No problems - also fixed SPB font colour issue!
I've put this upgrade on my Jasjam with official Dopod 838pro WM6. Very stable, and I no longer have to hide the Today screen button due to SPB Diary font colour problem (previous version would make fonts all black). Well done!
workink great
tnx
Can this be using with WM5?
and still it can't show any of the pocket outlook application icons.
hummm...for some reason it will not install on my Tytn II. i'm sure it's related to some security policy; i've modified the usual policies but no luck. any suggestions would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Redownloaded cab file 3 times until i got one that wasn't corrupted. all is working now!
so.... anyone know how to map "close" to a hard button? Or even map that little X-Button dropdown to a hard button? I've searched around and haven't found anything useful so far...

Not sure of the fix but it looks like an odd overlay issue. Possibly a conflict with 2 dialers? /shrug
try uninstalling the cab

Wow -- what an interesting design. Very unique.
Seriously -- did you try to intstall another dialer or something? What did you do on the device today (installs / mods)??
last message, I had the big button dialer for while like a week or so and I decided to get a skin,
I saw a fourm and i got the img files for the black skin, So i put the img's in the windows dir. but that wasint the place to put them, it over writed like 2 img files i think, so i went into the phone skin folder in the windows dir. and i put them there did a soft-reset and it turned out like that, "first time i put the img's to the windows .dir no change after soft-reset" so can some one conger up some detailed step by step instructions on how to fix this, I got to go this was my last message im walking out the door right now.. 9:30pm GMT -05:00 "eastern time" is when ill be on, later guys and thanks for the help..
wow, man. if you erased images previously in windows folder, you might be SOL, just a bit, without knowing which ones. What I would do would be to try and use another dialer skin and install over the whole thing. try big button dialer again. try to install it and see if that works for you. i have included it in this post so you dont have to bother searching. i know that big button dialer uses all its own images so it might just overlay again and look right.

Is that the installed dialer that comes with the official carrier released ROMs?
Alright i'm back, thank's for the steps, I just uninstalled the dialer and it just finished booting up, and wow, I turn my phone on and it statred dialing by its self???
Well im installing the new idaler and going to add the skin after it boots up, hopefully it doesint dail whole bunch of numbers and letters again lol..
Well I uninstalled the dialer, re-installed it, put the img's back into the phone skin folder and soft-rest my phone,
\edit
Well i'm just going to uninstall it and stick to the original big button dialer, guess I canno't put a new skin, if any one want's to go in depth with me on trying to fix this problem I would be more then happy to let them help me, thank's to who helped..

On every WM6.5.1 trial, I get this problem on my TouchHD. But one of my friend who has Samsung-Omnia-i900 with WM6.5.1-23071 (I mean same version of WM) does not have this problem on his SPB-MS3.5.
So I thought this could be eliminated, but how?
May be with some Registry work, or any other else...
Hi,
the Problem is caused by the showcase-Taskmanager.
You have to edit the corresponding registry-key which is
HKCU\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase\SUITE_PositionFix_Winclasses
There you have to remove "manila" from the value of the key.
After a softreset the problem should be gone.
Or, if Showcase is not installed, you should remove PositionFix shortcut from Windows/Startup folder.
I'll give that go as that's the only thing that's keeping me from using SPB MS 3.5 right now. (I mean with the new builds lol)

Yesterday was a great day that I found the solution with msaver42's advice, this was great. But suddenly this morning sthg happened to my phone and gone crazy with manila.
That registry fixed SPB-MS3.5 problem but now the problem is existing eith Manila, where it was NOT with it yesterday.
Is there any method completely get rid of this disgusting problem?
Bump. I have same issue with MS3 and task manager. Removing link fixed the MS3.5 page, but created the problem described above.

This is because that file or registry value were added to fix Manila. Removing the file or registry value fixes MS3 as it never had a problem with 6.5.1. Manila did, you removed it's fixed which bugged out MS3. So, choose one or the other.
Hello,
This worked for me... i am in the uk and have o2 with the htc touch hd.
Problems before this were that other roms would not let me use sms. I then used energyrom 2381 which let me use sms, with spbshell but with the cut off bottom. I then used the cab on this part of the forum..and i now have a win 6.5 powered htc touch hd, in the uk with o2...so thanks again.
steve.
remove PositionFix.lnk in your startup folder
i delete "manila" from registry and reset device but nothing is changed. mobile shell is covering bottom bar completely.
This is a very wired prob and not shore when it stared on my keyboard my Z and Y keys have now changed possistions there is no reason for it and all i have set is BsB tweaks any help
Sounds to me like you've somehow changed the keyboard language from english into german

You will lose any tweaks and installs you have done since you first unboxed the phone, yes.
Maybe it's just worth trying to change the keyboard language?
You know, there's a keyboard icon in the centre at the bottom of the screen when you are typing something?
There is also a small arrow near that icon. If you click that, it has to show you some options, among which is the option to change the input settings.
(At least it is so on a UK ROM)
Hope it helps

Okay Guys..... Rather than start a New Topic on my problem I found this topic which is titled correctly.
I have a horrendous problem with the keyboard every now and then failing to load that has only started today.
After I have used the Keyboard for whatever reason at that particular time I then put the Phone back into sleep mode.
Later, when I switch the Phone back on and again need to use the Keyboard I press the Keyboard symbol at the foot of the screen but it fails to load the Keyboard and thus you can not enter any text.
The only way to use the Keyboard is to then perform a Soft-Reset and then it works...... until later when we have to repeat the whole affair.....
It does not happen all the time but as an example I have used the Keyboard today on 6 separate occasions.
These occasions are when the machine has been put to sleep, woken and the Keyboard to be loaded.
Anyway, of these 6 separate occasions it has failed to load 4 times.
That means I have had to carry out a Soft-Reset 4 times today.
I have not installed anything since the problem started today and am at a loss why it is playing up in this manner.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

What can I do to fix this? Restarting the phone always fixes it (although that's not really a "solution" per se), sometimes restarting the phone app fixes it. Sometimes the keypad is there, but is up and to the right (off the edge of the screen, covering the leftmost side of the list of calls).
i think i had the same problem. try changing to landscape and back to normal.

My phone dialer doesn't rotate...
Yes, annoying this. I got the problem the other day then things went back to normal after a soft boot. I am aware that rotating the app does fix the problem (until the next time) but have never tried it.
To get your phone app to rotate, install BSB Tweaks. Once done select the phone app as an item to be rotated which should give you what you are looking for.

Thanks, this fixed it!
Wondering if there's been a better solution uncovered to this than "rotate the phone". That's not very fluid since the phone tends to rotate/unrotate in call and the keypad disappears again, making using menu options in voicemail (for example) much more of a pain than it needs to be.
Don't even understand how this is a problem, given that my TP2 had the same dialler and had no problems...
Bump ...
No chance for a response here...?

Try overwriting the dll posted by fards with total commander or resco. Using wm 6.5 myself so haven.t tested.
