Yeah just found it under the smilley face key , now it looks like you can add keys to a key press  , anybody know how.

Upgraded to touchpal keyboard V4.8 from market and you can edit what the second symbol on a key is, so I now have the £ sign on the main keyboard layout.

Hey bumps, the stock skin is dark which you may like but I did not but you can download more skins for it which I did to take it back to the colour of the original.

aye, this version also seems to be a little bit more responsive /faster

Dragging up an old thread, but I've downloaded the current version of touch pal, and I haven't found where you can permanently replace the Euro symbol with the pound. Can anyone help please!?
EDIT: Now found the issue. It seems the system, because the original touchpal version came with the phone, hadn't properly picked up the new version so there was no edit function. I now have the £ symbol!

I downloaded the current version from the Play store and let it install. I still couldn't find the edit function. The clue was in the fact that though I ticked the box in Keyboard settings, every time I went into 'touchpal keyboard' just underneath, it kept telling me I wasn't using a touchpal keyboard. But I knew I was because I could see it! eventually I restarted the phone and I think it was that that made it actually start using the new version. It now tells me I'm using 4.8.6.
Then, when you long-press a key in the full qwerty, the little popup gives you a third option on the key: it looks like a pencil. Highlighting that then gives you an edit window where you enter one character only (by bringing up the keyboard again in the window!). So you can enter any character you want including the ones in the scrollable symbol list. Once you've found it, it's easier to do than this description sounds!

Just one second, so the phone comes with TouchPal from the start, but you need to install it again from Play?

Should I uninstall the original one first?

EDIT: seems like you should uninstall first, but how? Can't find a way to uninstall.
Q: When I upgrade to 4.8, how come my language packs are not working?
A: Pls uninstall the old language packs and then download the new language packs from TouchPal Settings-> Languages

EDIT2: used ROMToolbox on rooted phone, says it uninstalled touchpal but it is still there. Any ideas?

EDIT3: tried Root Uninstal, Astro File Manager, Super Manager, can't delete TouchPal. I really want to do it now, if it is the last thing I do. Any ideas?
