There is a script on the wiki which enables you to install the full qwerty keyboard, unfortunately the last file gives a 404, which makes it rather useless.

Is there a way, other then recompiling it, to get the good keyboard back?

How does one get a dictionary for their own language, anyway? Or how do you get an Azerty keyboard?

rasterman explained this already. qpe (the monolithic binary blob that makes phone calls) is hardcoded to start up its own keyboard. If qpe registers its keyboard first, then you don't get the illume one anymore.

I think the fix is to break disable the qpe keyboard somehow. I've tried breaking it's config file, but that crashes qpe, breaking phone calls... I got a bit further than that, and think I found the code (51% sure...) that turns the qpe keyboard on, but now I don't have time to deal with it anymore.

If you time to mess with it, consider rebuilding qpe with this patch removed:

the diff:

A better approach would add a config option to turn qpe's keyboard off. The long-term goal is to replace it with the illume one, but OM will be supporting the qpe keyboard in the near-term...
