Gmenu2x with QWERTY keyboard layout
« on: February 08, 2010, 12:01:49 AM »
Hi folks,

I loved joyrider's Gmenu2x port to the Dingoo (it is now my default menu), but I really hated the on-screen keyboard layouts (used to type icon names, etc) available, so I dug into the source code and changed them.

The number of layouts available was reduced from SEVEN to only TWO. The "symbol" keyboard was removed, along with the four cyrillic ones (sorry if you need/like cyrillic). The available layouts now are QWERTY (including symbols) in lowercase and uppercase. IMHO, this is more sane than the alphabetical layouts used by default.

The updated version is available on my website, linked below. If you already have gmenu2x installed, just change the executable. The archive also includes darfgarf's modified button mappings (A to confirm, B to cancel) which make more sense than the default ones on the A320. The modified source file (inputdialog.cpp) is also included.

Hope you enjoy it. Comments are welcome.

Trying it now, thanks!
*EDIT* Yup, works great, I prefer A as action and B as cancel as well.

looks perfect, but I'm new, and I can't figure out how to install it. please help  ??? I already have gmenu2x installed. what is "the executable"?

EDIT: I tried replacing just the gmenu2x file (not folder) but it doesn't change anything, when I open DWrite it still has the same keyboard layout.

dingux-write is another application, gmenu2x is the menu (read: not dingux-write).

No.  ;D
Itīs the "keyboard" you (would  :-[) use when editing links in gmenu2x. Not an overlay keyboard you can use whenever you want.
btw: Get a new Dingoo ffs.  :)

Just replace the "gmenu2x" file, which is the executeable.

It should be noted that the A/B buttons aren't swapped, I just tested this gmenu-build, the qwerty-keyboard is in it, but the buttons still function like they've always done, B is still the "action" button.

XD, the keybindings are specified in the config file, and there's a couple of changed configs/corrected images floating around on here

If you like the key bindings, only replace the executeable. If you want the new keys, replace everything in your gmenu2x folder with the one from the archive. Settings and links are still preserved, but you'll get both new keys and the keyboard layout.

That's the source code. You don't have to put it anywhere :)
