its a work in progress and I cant wait til they work all the kinks out so that way it'll work with every application/process and it'll work seemlessly as well Smiley

I got it to work in landscape.

There's not a lot of places that let you do though. For example I opened the browser and was trying to type in something from the main page with the bookmarks and the little bar goes away at the top. But when I got to a site like engadget I went to the search field and the keyboard will pop up.

There are bugs but I feel like it is a good step in terms of it actually is real and it somewhat works so far.

yessur....ditto



I wont leave it on my device until it is certain that Palm wont be adding this through an update as precentral has advised that if there is a system update the on-screen keyboard patch COULD potentially damage your Pixi...


no risky business for me, because I'd be the one to forget to remove the patch before I apply an update

I've installed the OSK on my Pixi and I really do like it, but it takes some getting use to after using the regular keyboard so much (not going to write any long emails w/it).  I have to say they are on the right track with it.  I even changed the theme color and have the vibrate on. 

It works anytime there is a cursor window on the screen and it works now in landscape mode.

There are still issues with backspace in a few apps, but for the most part is really neat.

I had to install Pixiware, and some other stuff that I was afraid of but got through it.

Funny thing, just before I did the install attempt the creator uploaded a minor change to the DL.  I went to DL right after him and encounter a new problem with the install.  As luck would have it, others started having issues with the install and within hours the problem was fixed. 

It's a little more work then File Coaster, but really easy.  Even changing the theme is easy.

I also installed the 4x4 icons tweak and the Email Landscape view tweaks.  Had to reboot after each of these, but they work great.

I would have pics, but I'm at work.

Yea i was messing around with all those tweeks and the keyboard earlier.  The keyboard still need a lot of work if u ask me.  Its def cool though.  I think its to laggy sometime also.  Those tweeks are cool.  I turned on 4x4 for a while and turned it off.  Right now i just have the landscape mode email and message fowarding on.  All the tweeks work perfectly.

Something I failed to mention about the virtual KB.  Don't enable the clicking sound, it lags even worse.
