In pre-ICS versions of Android, the keyboard could be opened by holding the menu button. Is there any equivalent for this functionality in ICS?
When I need the keyboard it is either there or i just tap on the place I need to enter text and it appears. Can you detail the scenario where its not appearing so I can test it and see if I can get a solution.

I am researching with HTML5 games/apps. I wanted to see if I could use the keyboard keys in a game. The game seems to by loading and running, but I can't get it started without pressing particular keys. I don't know if the keyboard would even target the game. I realize that is wouldn't be fun to play with an android keyboard. I was more interested in how the game/graphics/code ran on the android browser.
Ahh I see well this is a bit beyond me at the moment as I am just starting out in development side but I have found this http://www.androidguys.com/2009/11/12/how-to-showhide-soft-keyboard-programmatically-dev-tips-tools/
Maybe its of some use but if not your 2nd post should help some of the more experienced members help straight away.

I could not find any threads about PocketCM, although that seems very strange to me so I must be missing them.
Until then, here are my few questions:
1. Can i add, or is there a version with, an x button in it? I can't close the app without taskmanager.
2. When writing a text, even if i have the keyboard out, the SIP automatically pops up when i start writing. Can i disable this?
Thanks.
I noticed pocketcm threads at development and hacking...maybe some luck there:

You should also try his website at www.pocketcm.com. As for the x-button, the latest version has it, and in that version you can also select "No SIP" which will solve your second problem.

So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.
click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.

Here's one hard-key solution that re-maps the volume keys on the side of the phone:

That's a great tip! I never realized that! You should put that in the wiki!
Thanks
Thanks to both vigohz and MCBrian!
You can also press and hold the message in the list you wish to do something with and you will get the same list of actions as if you tapped on the small letter.

You seem to be lost...you have a Kaiser, not a Rhodium.
You should be posting in one of the Kaiser sub-forums.

Wow, I did not know either of these two tips, I had been opening the onscreen keypad and using the arrow keys to move down to the message. Thanks to both of you!
I think it`s very useful to show other stuff instead of recent apps only. I can adjust brightness and sound volumn on an ipad. any suggested apps for customizing the home key behaviour?
Install a decent launcher like LauncherPro then you can have it open whatever you want.
Not long-press, it's a core OS function.
@theOP: you may not be able to change the function of a long-press like iOS but, unlike iOS, you can change the function of a short-press, so it kinda evens out.
google should have open it to other apps for replacing or adding new stuff, just like the home screen....
Hi,
I dont like opening older posts, but better than post another new one...
So I undestood, that a home long-press is not possible to redirect as another button (e.g. Search) or to execute some bash scripts?
I am still looking for some task switcher on hw button dependend and with posibility to call it from everywhere (all tas managers using search button, which is not present on X10i). Currently I am using PreHome with home doubleclick, but it is not so good as long press could be...
Or - one question - is it possible to redirect long press on Back button? I Know, that on Camera is this possible...

U are also interested in this function?
But not sure if opening thousands of topics like this could tell google to do some changes in coding...

I think what XperienceD want to say, he like the idea of opening old threads instead of opening new threads...If everyone did that we would not have 500 thousand "my battery is at 0%" threads.
Hi I`d like to reopen this topis
Tomorow I found, that Cyanogenmod ROM`s are able to do this natively!
Anyone using any of these ROM?
I am trying to find out what is this button menu related to migrate this function
hi,
I'm using MIUI latest version(1.9.2) and I have a problem, when I press the search button the keyboard doesn't pop up automatically, like it used to do on previous versions(before 1.8.26). if I want the keyboard to appear I press long press on menu, touch the search bar or slide left(to last application opened) and right again to the search and then it pops up by itseft..
someone is familiar with it? any solution?
thank you.
Try asking in a MIUI thread instead.
Yes, i'm running MIUI too, and i also have the same problem, but it doesn't bother me.
yeah, but posting less the 10 posts makes you a n00b(which I'm not), thus you are less of a man, thus you have no rights, thus you can't post things on development section.
but three more messages and I'll be considered as an experienced user..hooray for me.
When I type a SMS message and hit the E key on the slide out keyboard, the email app opens, so I can't use the letter E. Anyone know what's happened and how to fix it?
... Of COURSE it'd fix itself as soon as I ask for help. Inevitable really. Still worth knowing how to fix it in case it happens again, so I'll leave this up.
I had the same problem as you, it is caused by the Application Shortcuts which I never used and only disturbed me while typing.
(On Gingerbread)
Go to settings, then to Applications and then to "shortcuts" or something like that(I have another system language) and then long touch on every button that has a shortcut linked to it.
That solved it for me, if you are using ICS the steps should be more or less the same.
