TouchPal Keyboard - Desire General

Hi, I've been looking for the TouchPal apk for a couple of weeks and finally found it - it's still on the developers website! Missing some functions from the WinMo version but very good.

After you install any new keyboard you have to long press in a data entry field (I just press the search button and use its data entry field) and select which keyboard you wish to use.
Hope this helps

Thanks Iain. But I can confirm TouchPal beta do not work on my HTC Desire too.

good find this.
it DOES work.
you need to activate touch pal in the keyboard settings.
then do a long press on any data input, choose touchpal, it then crashes but the next time you come to use a data entry, the touchpal keyboard is there.
not sure what happens should you have to reboot.

Here you go. Run this APK, then you have to go into Settings > Keyboards and choose the Android keyboard, and then in a text or email long press where you would normally type text and choose the input method

Keyboard change problem.

Hi. I'm currently using swiftkey 3 keyboard but I occasionally switching keyboard between Google pinyin (Chinese keyboard) and SwiftKey 3.
When I pull the drop down list, normally the list will stay there and let me choose what keyboard I want to use but today when I pull down the list. It just show up for a second then it disappear.
Anyone has this problem? And how do I fix it? My phone is not rooted or anything.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] how to remap the double home button?

when you double hit the home button, it will open the s-voice.
i don't know if you guys has the same thought. I just don't like the S-voice since it is extremely slow compared to the google voice search.
i have sesarched inside settings but with no luck to find any option to remap the "double home button". i wonder if there is any way to modify the link to open google voice search instead of s-voice.
thanks in advance
Download an app called home2shortcut in the playstore.

Just downloaded also. Very nice!
What is a fast way to capitalize a word?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Tank you very much for this.
Lovin' it, but there's still some things Swype does better. One thing I've grown to love is that swype remembers which mode you had the keyboard in last (alphabet or numbers) and returns to it when you bring the keyboard back, but Flow always reverts back to alpha, which is annoying, since I have a bunch of apps that I primaryly input numbers into.
Is there any reason for current Swiftkey users to upgrade to this, if we don't use the "swype" type technology it offers?

Thank you for releasing this to us, so far I have only come across one issue, on occasions swype will not recognize a double letter. Thanks again.

I think this is good but still some needs work. I like that Swype offers word options while this only gives one word or you have to type it. I also have not found it as accurate as Swype on word prediction. I am keeping my eye on updates but for now am staying with Swype.
Thanks for the link. Haven't used swift key in a while. I do like swype better but wish the JB keyboard had the predictive word up top, I like how the word glows while you're typing.

Swiping w/ SwiftKey isn't working in a number of fields, namely search fields. Its working in larger text fields like compose area of email. Is this what other users are seeing?

Yes I noticed it was only working when texting someone or writing a email. Internet doesn't work for some reason.

Started using this yesterday and I am quite impressed. Of course this is my only non stock keyboard other than SwiftKey 3.

Had to switch back to Swype after giving Flow a try for a few days. Was an OK run though.
Swype is just way more accurate for me for whatever reason. It's also better at pluralization, correcting words, remembering the last alpha/number mode, and, crucially, Swype lets me swype in search fields too where swiftkey flow requires you to tap it out! (wtf?)

i actually really enjoyed using swiftkey, tried it for a couple weeks.
pros:
1. fast and smooth swiping
2. fairly accurate predictive t9
cons:
1. the "to" vs "too" or "god" vs "good" types were annoying me in swiftkey. i hope they figure something out for that.
2. correcting a past word in a sentence (ie. not current/last word) is frustrating. it think it just messes up with swiftkey's t9 and weird words come up.
3. sometimes swiped words just don't show up on available words (from t9) like "to" or "do" or other simple words
will definitely be keeping an eye on this and trying later iterations.

Spell checker mystery.

I just discovered there is a "Spellchecker" option under "Language & input", but activating it does nothing, and clicking on the settings button next to it brings me to an empty screen.
What's up with that?
I think its for keyboards with extra spell check, e.g. Old google keyboards

If you type spel and click spacebar, keyboard should write spell.

I find SwiftKey being better than the default keyboard, you might want to try that out it has a nice spellchecker, it suggest you words by analyzing all of your SMS (and e-mail if you want to)
