Hebrew Keyboard

BoruchAdler

Hi everyone,

I am in middle of polishing a native hebrew keyboard that I made for flip phones.

In order to get the install instructions right for each phone I need some help from everyone.

Can you run the command adb shell ime list and post the result here with the phone model?

Thanks all

The keyboard is ready and will be given to the apps4flip admin to post on the main website. Please post all constructive feedback in this thread

The admin has told me that the app is now live on the apps page on the main site, go [Login to see the link] to download it

BoruchAdler Sorry to sound rude, but the app is a total disaster. You can't type pound more then once, and you can't use T9 when you have the app. Also when going into the dialer it stays stuck on Hebrew instead of automatically switching to numbers. Also there is no way that I know of to switch between Hebrew and English. IMHO, keep your half baked apps off the main apps page. Put them on the forums as beta. Cc [Login to see the link]

[Login to see the link] Thanks for contributing this app. We tried it and it works great on the lg classic. Thank you!

Apps4Flip-Admin On the sonim xp3 if you use it you cannot use t9.

Thank you VERY much!! One הערה. It doesn't have some of the options of the original keyboard such as K9 and copy & paste.

Apps4Flip-Admin

Can you describe how the copy and paste would work? I.E what is the flow to copy and paste something from the keyboard that it is missing

L-B

Im not good at describing I just know that in the original keyboard there is a paste option if you press the top left button and scroll through all the options.

I just noticed a more serious issue. there is no number option that i can find and the only way to type numbers is with long press. especially annoying when trying to dial a number (the original keyboard defaults to numbers typing when in the dial screen, this one types letters...)

BoruchAdler

Thanks for reporting this. I will work on adding in a numbers only option.

Thanks

[Login to see the link] it works very very not good i can't use t9 at all pls update it thanks

appspro just because there is no T9 doesn't mean it is "very very not good" it just means it doesn't have a feature that you would like. BTW try using voice access for texting it is way better than T9 (unless you are somewhere that you cant speak).

Apps4Flip-Admin

appspro We use it and it works great on our LG Classic, so not sure what you are talking about.

Please try to keep things friendly and constructive, long winding criticism without substance like "works very very not good" do not add value to this community. If you have specific things that could be improved like T9 support, feel free to say them in a friendly way

[Login to see the link] btw i know this is not the discussion here but the pointer also works extremely not good on lg phones it would be a good idea if u make it work well with a long press support

L-B

appspro In my opinion it works "extremely good"

[Login to see the link] It seems like although this is a good project headed in the right direction, it still needs a lot of work, so I don't think it should be on the main site just yet, it should be kept in the forums to be tested until a solid version can be put in

Apps4Flip-Admin

Techgen It does need a bit of work, but works amazingly well even in its current state.

We do say that it is in beta on the main site though, just to make it clear to everyone.

hi everybody!
where are your thanks to [Login to see the link] for his awesome work?

appspro

Apps4Flip-Admin sorry i didn't mean it in that way...

Techgen

Apps4Flip-Admin I haven't tested it myself, it just sounded like from others on the forum that there are issues that the regular user would not want to deal with, it could be its really good and they're just being overly concerned

[Login to see the link] thank you!
another fix can be to set the keys from right to left just like all other Hebrew keyboards so "C" should be for אבג and "B" for דהו etc.
but the better would be to figure out how "TAG" made their hebrew keyboard on the classic which works just like the reguler one they juat added another option in the menu where you can choose between "T9 word"
and "ABC" etc.

[Login to see the link] just to be notified that "ך" is missing.
also the 6 is overloaded with keys: "מםנןס6"
I would again prefer the mapping of "Hebrew key".
