But this is just 8 graphic files - how can it change the functionality?
Nice proof of concept Albert

is there a way to change the keyboard to be Iphony ?
in other words, can we change the pressed button gfx to be a popup button thingy so it shows the letter pressed ?

Nice.. i like opal full keyboard "cleaner"

Is this cab all you need for this or do I need a separate file to install?

just the cab

great work my friend, thank you for your share

This would match my new system font perfectly! Thanks, maybe I'll re-mod this keyboard...

can we expect a "cleaner" skin for the other two opal keyboards??? The full qwerty and the phone pad???

It's skinnable, but is it possible to make the landscape qwerty bigger? I really don't see how it's cleaner TBH. I like the original more. It looks more "cleartype-ish"

Use Normal Number Keypad For Messaging?

Is there a way to use number keypad to type for messaging as the touch screen, I mean is there an application to make the number keypad be used to type message? Cause it'd be great if its possible.. Please let me know thanks..
Thanks in advance.

Is it freeware? OKay I'm going to test it right now. Thanks!

I tried using it, but it doesn't seem to work.. :S Its showing in the messaging options of which to change to, when i tried changing to phone keypad it doesn't seem to respond to it at all, its just remain at the normal keyboard as default is..

i installed it to the phone as didnt work when installed on the card. restarted the phone opened the keypad and where you got the options there was a few more and one was phone keypad

Thanks it worked!

that's the Blackstone Keyboard. it'll mess up your hardware keyboard.. or you won't be able yo use the àü button..

mines been working fine and i never use that button anyway lol what other one do you sujest as thats the only one i could find

it also mess up my camera shutter button so i have it uninstalled. Anyone has any alternatives for keypad soft keyboard? I still can't believe SE didn't include this in their rom after 3 revision

Is this what you're after? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494026 It's very finger friendly.

This is on the opening screen of my HD2 when it's been locked. The keyboard is so easy to use and is very native of a conventional phone keypad. It makes for easy use and the screen is still free to both read and write your text.

trust me, im searching something like this since 2 years T.T am i too stupid or is there really nothing like that?
when im walking around with my phone.. i cant type in qwerty mode :/ when i switch to "phonepad" it suxx cause the buttons are again too small when im walking
on the pin input screen there are even two unused buttons, wich we could use as smileys or other things...

As this screen is already in my phone, I would have thought that it was possible to mix into a cab for keyboard use. I am not a programmer otherwise I would try..

What's wrong with the regular Phone Keypad that comes pre-installed?

What I would like is the keypad as in the first image for my texting and messaging... not just for dialling numbers..
When I am texting, I do not need all of the other clutter that robs my screen of space so larger keypads would be nice.. I currently use this -
But I need to turn it on its side to text and I only get one line of screen to read what I am writing.. but like I said, the keypad in the opening screen would be just right for me..

If you download the hero IME keyboard, which you can find by using the search function on mobilerumor.blogspot.com, it has a phone keypad feature.

Click here, It'll direct you to the original thread for more informations and download links...Enjoy and play around with it...

Hi,mate...This situation didn't happen to me...Since I'm using shubcraft v1.5...If not mistaken you are using Hyperdroid build,right?I think this problem related to the screen density...I'm using the shubcraft default screen density (which is 240),it works like charm...You may try to adjust it,since Hyperdroid build using lower screen density(so you see more spaces on the homescreen...
Here are some tips about how to change the screen DPI...click here
Hope this works...you may give it a try,see it goes...If all else failed,You can refer back to your Hyperdroid build thread...Pongsters already listed down plenty of useful tips about his build...
Cheers...

nice wallpaper..
can u share it???
thankx

Its always a good Idea to look at things twice. I say this because when i first saw it I thought it was awfully ugly. Second look I decide its not so bad.

Haha,yea,same here...its pretty cool launcher,it helps us categorise our apps...furthermore it includes widget as well...Thats great...unlike the Galaxy S launcher,we cant install touch wiz widget...

The home and their widget only supports 240 dpi. If not everything looks wrong.

Hide navigation bar when typing?

Hi all,
Is there a way to hide the navigation bar when typing, whether rooted/custom roms or stock? When typing quickly in landscape (with swiftkey) I keep pushing home by accident.
Thanks.

Team EOS just released a stable rom that allows you to hide the navigation bars (holding the power button). It works great but I found using gmd gesture control (recommended in a similar thread) to be much more effective and easy to use. It has lots more options than just hiding the navigation bars. With all the new and programmable gestures I really am beginning to use my nexus differently. Even though it takes a little getting used to.

hiding is easy, but its kind of tiring to do if its just for typing a sentence or two. if youre in for fullscreen browsing it is an option most roms have. i use it mostly for playing games.
another option is phoneUI, which surprisingly works pretty neat, i also like the notificationdropdown better. it makes way in landscape orientation just like on your phone.
another take would be to blow up the keyboard, maybe your fingers like it better. pa can individually change apps, even keyboards to any size or form you want.
yet another option would be the phoneUI keyboard, this is what i use and i find it better to type on. i use it with systemUI set to tabUI so i dont get these fat bottons down there anyway.

Thanks a lot guys, I'm completely stock at the moment but will be rooting soon, especially with this. Just got to sort through which rom I want!
@toid, that looks brilliant, would like to have those other gestures too. Thanks!

So I've rooted now and got the GMD Gestures, loving them! Will be installing Paranoid once it's updated to 4.1.2
