Yes this was a previous issue that the newest version of the VKB fixed, at least for me it did, make sure to check you have the latest version!

I am running 1.2.1-1 from preware. Is there a newer version? The Preware isn't showing a newer patch.

Are you talking about the photo issue or the keyboard not closing?

I'm talking about the pictures showing up.. And I believe that is the same version I am running also...hmm idk.

remove the virtual-keyboard/themes and virtual-keyboard/sounds directories from USB mode, then reboot.

hi im josh. i entered the commands in novaterm exactly as u put but it still did not fix problem installing. the ipkg log still lists. help please!!! thanks.

Sorry if this has already been answered but 101 pages is a lot to look through for 1 little answer!!!. ok i just got a new pre because i broke the last and i have my theme and all my patches set but on webos 1.2.1 but when i try to get virtual keyboard through preware or webos quickinstall i get a error. i will post the pic to the preware error im getting.

Hi!

OK, I've actually read this entire thread, and this is my exact problem. I'm running 1.2.1, and I cannot get the script prompt. I also cannot find the install in WebOS Quick Install, and I'm not quite sure how to go about reinstalling the Package Manager. I tried just reinstalling it over the old copy in my Pre, but it doesn't seem to have helped. I get the "Patch Installed, must restart Luna" prompt, but that, of course, is doing nothing.

What should I do to fix this?

Hey guys, long time lurker first time Pre owner and poster!

Just got my UK 02 Pre, and as you might know the latest webos build we have so far is 1.1.3.

I've got Preware installed and it works fine with other patches, but those listed under Mojo just won't work. Any ideas?

bc its not compatible yet u gotta w8 for the 1.1.3 feed

Thanks mate. Can't wait to get on the 1.2 train. How will I know when it is compatible?

not really sure yet...maybe a little searching will help you but I think there is a manual feed you can enter don't remember if you wanna start adding patches already or you can w8...and soon they'll be available good luck

If anyone can tell me why when i looked up webos quick install and under the webos internals feeds all, the virtual keyboard is not there. Anyone got an answer? PLEASE HELP!!!

maybe its getting updated? i have no clue just wait couple hours and chill

hey emoney...btw...i was wondering if its possible having this implemented...when im using the vk with the messaging app and i wanna put the messaging app in the background with the vk still open...lets say i wanna go to another app and do w.e and then i go back to the messaging app...i realized a letter gets typed everytime i go back to the messaging app when the vk is open...is there a way u can stop that from happening...just have the vk on with the messaging app in the background and when u go back to it...it doesnt type a letter?

The virtual keyboard is a WebOS Patch, and therefore is in the webos-patches feed.

Heya folks, me again!

I got the VK to work and install, it's running fine for me. Turned out something in WebOS was bugged, and after running Webdoctor to restore WebOS, and reinstalling everything, I'm running brilliantly.

Thanks!!
