Trying to get the HTC keyboard for my phone cuz let's face it, the android keyboard sucks. I've been following this thread over on the XDA Nexus One thread and have followed it exactly installing both APK's. Each time when i long click and select Touch Input, no keyboard shows up on the screen.
I'm not exactly sure why it won't work since i have installed several other keyboards over the past.
If anyone knows how to get this working, or is experiencing a similar issue please let me know.
Bump
Seriously? Nobody. The android keyboard sucks haha and my swype expired.
lol dude, not clue why it doesnt work, i tried downloading the v20 apk from the N1 forums, it installs but when you switch input methods it doesnt show up so stuck in same boat

working keyboard for android tilt 2
first you have to go to the xdandroid startup icon and make sure the model is on tilt 2 mode, then boot. just like using the regular keyboard. able to use fn key to enter numbers not like when they are all at the top.

Figured it out: voice search is not available in the Canadian market....I just googled the apk
Damn. I love this. Craps all over swiftkey beta. It was my preferred input before I tried HTC. Thanks for heads up.

I tried HTC_IME (not sure whether it was this same one) earlier, and I don't really get the charm. Is it just the languages supported? It's not multi-touch I believe and I missed a lot of letter due to that, especially space. I am currently using the Droid X Multi-touch and it's faster than everything else (and I've tried almost all). The thing is that I can type fast enough on this not to need prediction, I only use that for spelling correctione etc.
Been using this for awhile to skin my own HTC IME, first on my Milestone, then on my Galaxy.
i love you guys :-D.thx a lot for this!
Google gimpsta as he has an online kitchen for customising HTC ime keyboards.

Always heard good things about the HTC keyboard and after installing this i can see why.
anyone know how to enable the on screen dpad, or is there one even available on the HTC keyboard?
Can anyone tell me how to remove this completely? I uninstalled from applications, but does that remove Clicker.apk too? I can't find it in /system/app either
can't install
i can install the click apk but not the htc ime apk, what program you guys use to install, it tells me through Astra that file can't be read as an apk.

I'm using the gingerbread keyboard from the market and if you long hold space bar and drag up, you might be able to get some arrows
You could use ultra keyboard with the HTC skin, it looks the same and it more customisable.
I must have spent three hours looking for this today. Thank you so very much whoever modded this for gingerbread.
where i can find the htc skin for ultra keyboard?
I was looking for the same thing came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916686
The HTC IME from the addons section works on cm7.0.3!
The only thing is I wanted a pure HTC IME skin, but this one is custom themed. Anybody ideas how I can get it unthemed? I tried repacking it with apktool with graphics from HTC_IME_hi v27 but it didn't work. AppInstaller kept staying application not installed without an explanation as to why
thanks button = poked
Got my new SE Neo yesterday and hated the keyboard, tried a couple of the versions on Gimpsta's sight as this is what I had had on my X10 but wouldn't work. Should have known to check here first, thank you for making my nice new phone now perfect.
Thanks for posting!!
Gonna give this a try on my G2X running 2.3.3, hope this works!

just take the apk file (from the 28b version) and install it (is better if installed in the internal storage)! than go to :
Settings---> language and keyboard ---> select htc_ime

Which version is that?
The only Gingerbread friendly swipe version is the one that is in the Double shot port, but it runs SLOW SLOW SLOW.
Anyone have any ideas as how to fix that?
I can attach the APK and Lib File here is someone wants to check it out.

Dude, You didnt have to take it down, im sure people will still use it.
the problem with the non GB friendly version is you still get the pop up box, which then is blocked by the GB little word grabber things.
For the most part, it is usable, but the correction box is extremely limited in use.

I have like 5 different keyboards on my phone... and i can barely use any of them. I wish i could get the GB swype working better, but right now it is SOOO slow to just come up that it pisses me off.
Might want to invest in a tracext9 or somethign like that. Its in the market. Supposedly better than swype and has a ton of features. I have the earliest version and since it doesnt have an editable dictionary, i cant stand using it.

Yeah there is so much bs surrounding swype...I think I will check out tracext9.
OP,
There are two files you need to just yank out of the original ROM:
1. Swype.apk
2. libSwypeCore.so
Mount /system/lib as r/w, put libSwypeCore.so in it, then change perms back to r/o
Mount /system/app as r/w, put the Swype.apk in there, install it, then change perms back.
OR, you can just signup at http://beta.swype.com/ then download and install their "Installer" and install Swype from it.
EDIT: Honestly, though, I think this one is better: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nuance.flext9.input
EDIT2: I don't know why others are having problems. I've used Swype on GB (CM7) without any issues at all

The newest beta has disabled that popup annoyance. Just sign up for the beta and be always in on the most current swype.
The beta wasnt working for me

What do you mean when you say it isn't working? Does swype FC? Does it not open? Can you type single characters & but not swype a word?
If you can you type single characters & but not swype a word, change your input method to another keyboard and then back to swype. It should work until you reboot.

Nah I am a member and I download the swype installer and it just hangs there at login. I have tried multiple times no luck. I have FlexT9 now its good but not quite swype.
i have the ota zip from when it first came to our evos and that has worked with every rom ive tried thus far gb (cm7, deck, miui, virus 3.0) and froyo.

Please could you post that. I would be forever grateful.
I'm a big Swype fan and have always used it on my EVO but I got tired of trying to get it to work on my Nook Color and Xoom.
Even though I resisted all of the suggestions to do so, I finally bit the bullet and bought SlideIt keyboard from the market. It's about as good as Swype and it works on everything I've installed it on.

the only place i know where to get swype is from 4shared.apk,im running cm7 on evo,and installed it from there and it works grreat.only thing is,#1-have a file manager.#2-go to settings>applications>check unknown sources>and then>4shared.apk,another thing,you have to sift thru alot of them to find which apk will work.good luck
sorry,i didnt mention this before,but 4shared.apk is a website that you can search and download apps straight to your phone.been there many times and have alot of useful apps there for free,and they are all FULL versions,have fun once youre there,they have about 60,000 free full apps by now im sure
Hello, i just flashed several roms in my Ace II because of the gesture keyboard not working.
I have made my searches, and found zero answer related to this, it seems no one is using gesture keyboard....
Now, on such small screen, having the gesture hability for writing saves a lot of time for me, and i think that anyone who would give it a try will keep it as primary way of writing.
The only rom in wich is working fine is in Slimrom 8.1 but i have found other complains for this one that are more important than the keyboard at the moment.
Is there any workaround?

Gesture keyboard comes with android 4.2.2 or try search play store for 'Google keyboard'

I've been using it on the stock 4.1.2 ROM in this same phone and in 4.0.4 on Optimus 2x.
At store, there's no available google keyboard, already made the search.
BTW:
PAC rom has not working gesture keyboard, and is 4.2.2.
TeamCanjica, also is 4.2.2 and it has it not working either.
Rootbox, also is 4.2.2 and is not working.
On the contrary, SlimRom is 4.2.2 and it has it working.
I'm no expert but shouldn't this be in the "general" section? o.0
Google Keyboard (same as AOSP from 4.2.2) has gesture typing, SwiftKey has gesture typing and Swype has gesture typing. If one of those doesn't work you might wanna contact the app support directly. All I know is Google Keyboard and SwiftKey work perfect on stock and Cyanogenmod.
Google Keyboard is available for the Ace II. In fact I think it's compatible with ALL devices so I don't know why you're not finding it. I'd be certain it's likely to be something on your end.

It seems to be working, but only makes the trace and nothing is written.
Swiftkey and swype have their own drawbacks, both are really c..p finding and predicting words in anything than english, and i need it working fine in Spanish, there google keyboard is unbeatable.
Also, those both apps are paid, google is not only free, IT WORKS.

Nothing wrong in MY end, i've made the search inside the phone and directly with my computer browsing/searching play store, and it does not appear AT ALL.
I also checked some days ago with the Optimus 2x because i dislike the keyboard that came with a custom rom, nothing appeared... And also, both phones use different google account. (just in case)
So.. It seems that the keyboard may be been removed or is only available for older versions wich need update.
EDIT: Sorry... Sometimes you need to kill someone... I'll kill google...
Well, Google keyboard will NEVER appear for spanish... "Teclado de Google" does...
Really sorry... sometimes takes me some time stop thinking on english.
Anyway, it says is not compatible with ANY of my devices.... : wallbash:
Well it's definitely still there for me whatever ROM I'm using so i don't know what to tell you

No problem. Just extract archive, replace file in system/lib. Change permissions (rw-r-r) and reboot.
