Replace Virtual Keyboard with SPB Keyboard

Greets,
I have been trying to figure out how to change the regular on-screen keyboard from the Tilt to the SPB Full Screen Keyboard.
Since I do not want to change from the real keyboard (as an option), the "Input" control panel isn't the right choice.
I just want to make the SPB Keyboard come up when I hit that little keyboard icon which comes up on the bottom of the screen.
Any ideas?

This should allow you to change the default keyboard.

Try this directly. It's a keyboard that works as default properly. you don't need any external tools.

keyboard keys dont display as i type

i have resco keyboard and have got used to using it w/keyboard not slid out (portrait mode?). it works fine.
today i wanted to type w/real keys. when i type a key, the text and is not visible--cursur moves as if i just hit space bar. all text is blank.
if im in google, for example, the predictive text is unreadable; if i hit "enter" what i typed is visible as a search.
i need to make settings so i can read as i type and see the predictive text..
EDIT ::
actually, if i'm in internet explorer and touch the "menu" on lower right corner, all the text displays blank also--if i touch on a blank area, it responds.
so i guess my display is acting up while in landscape mode..
i hope this is clear..
any help here?
thanx

Tried a soft reset, yet?

might be related to clear type ... seee if disabling it helps. i know in landscape mode that bug has been noted.

If u have flashe a new wm6.1 rom, u could try to disable cleartype in landscape. Thats the common problem. U can do that in advanced config.

Looks like I am a slow typer.

disabling clear type fixed most things..
Except that :: when i'm on google search bar, the problem persists..
as far as i can tell, thats the only thing wrong. it happens if i use
Resco or physical keyboard..
what else can i do?
thanx
edit : disabled clear type from settings.. fixed everything

can't set keyboard any more (always qwertz)

Since a few days I cant set the soft-keybord in my xda diamond any more. It's now set as 'complete QWERTZ' and I like to set the phone-keybord but the small arrow next to the keybord symbol doesn't work.
Even when I open the input-settings under system-prefernences I can change the kind of keyboard but when I re-open the settings page it's again set as QWERTZ.
I tried some soft-resets and searched the forum.. Do anybody knows a solution??

you have qwertz keyboard??
how do you have it i have qwerty

May I know how to set the Font for the keyboard.
I'm having 'Courier' instead of 'Tahoma'.
Thanks in anticipation.

Is really the Font of your keyboard Courier or the trext you write with it?
If the Text is Courier you can set it in the Programm u use for typing, if the keyboard layout is really courier perhaps the font-file ist missing!?
Don't anybody has a Idea? I don't like to do an hard-reset because of that..

Hi, it's the the keyboard's font that tend to be in Courier, but changes sometime (Tahoma or back to Courier) after every soft-reset.
I didn't install any software to SMS or email.
Btw, kindly guide how to change the text font that we're typing (first time PPC user ).

That don't work! =(
I can change that setting but it don't take effect. And when I reopen the settings page after changing its "complete QWERTZ" again.
The only thing that had worked today is opening an program that that is using the keyboard-icon at other place and layout (like TRE Regeditor > small icon at the right bottom side). That was the only Programm where this arrow next to the the keybord-icon works. But even now I can't change the keyboard in any other programs, only in TRE. Don't know why =(

Input method problem - no keyboard change

Hello, it's my first post, I would like just to say hello.
I've searched forum but I haven't found solution to my problem. As said in the title, I cant change text input method. Whatever I choose, the option comes back to full qwerty mode. Am I doing something wrong? Or should I take some additional steps to get it working?
Regards, fck.

Input methods...
How are you trying to change the input methods? I may be missing the obvious, or you may be, so we'll start at the top.
Open up any app where you can access the SIP's (soft input panels)... try Word or Notes. Tap the keyboard icon at the bottom centre of the screen, now tap the tiny arrow to the right of the icon and choose an option here.
Let me know what this does

Ah! Thank you very much! It does work. I was changing it in settings/input/then chosen keyboard. However, it still doesn't work for me to change input method from settings tab. Why? The same problem occurred on stock t-mobile rom and so as on custom one..

The Beta worked for about 14 days, and then the phone started doing some random hangs. and after not being able to type anything in a SMS i changed the keyboard back, and my phone is now normal.
Cool keyboard, but might cause problems....

when the beta stops working you might want to try Perfect Keyboard, and Smart keyboard, they have similar options, except importing SMS into dictionary.

Thanks for it
I will try and see
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Premium App

i can absolutely recommend swiftkey. try it guys.

This looks nice. Will try it out...

Go Keyboard problems
1. I use the speech recognition a lot. When I set the Voice Key to 'On main keyboard' I loose the Comma key.
Is there any way I can get both the voice key and the comma key on the main screen?
2. When I use the voice recognition (the Voice Recognition is great, 90% or better) but if I try to edit the phrase it shows because a letter is incorrect. I put the cursor to the right of the letter and hit backspace or space and it pastes the whole phrase in again in the middle of the phrase I am trying to edit. Any idea how to avoid this?
I really like Go Keyboard, but these 2 things are driving me nuts.
Regards,
Mark
