Any way to fix HTC keyboard's prediction?

Hi,
I don't like the word prediction on the standard HTC keyboard. If Itype a word that's not in the dictionary, I can either change it to the word the prediction suggests, or insert + save the word I typed in.
the problem is, sometimes I DON'T want the word saved, like it's a one-time-use word. the prediction on the android keyboard was much better; tap the word once to insert, tap another time to save. (but I like HTC keyboard's symbols-handling better)
any way to get this "tap twice to save" on the HTC keyboard too?
btw does anyone have a download link to android keyboard?
edit: oh and is it possible to turn off the "buggy" text reflow in the web browser?

Tap twice to save is not possible afaik with the standard HTC keyboard. However, if you search for the HTC_IME mod by some guy called Jonas, you will find a modded version of the keyboard which you can configure somewhat into the direction you described. Root isn't required for this keyboard btw.
Good luck!

special characters in sms bug?

hi!
is there any fix or something to remove special characters from sms?
im from Portugal and for example the word "já" if i type it with the accent in the "a" it ocupies 90 charecters from the 160 sms limit.. but if i type the word "ja" without the accent in the "a" it only occupies 2 characters.. what a weird bug..
im using cm7 with go sms and swift kb..
is there any way to skip the accents special characters etc?
for example if i write the word "não" it automatically changes to "nao" to skip the chars..
thanks all

yes there is. you need to use htc_ime mod. it is an improved version of stock htc keyboard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608
read this post, so u will know what to do
it installs as a regular apk.
other options are:
-3rd party SMS application with that option
or
-if you use swype then you would have to find a ASCII version

thanks.. isto use swift and i love it.. dont want to get back to htc ime mod :x
well i will search for more info.. in last option i have to go backup to htc ime. :x
thanks

GO Keyboard - stop processing the hardware keys!

Currently on CM7.1, using the latest version of GO Keyboard. Does anyone have any idea on how to disable prediction for the hardware keyboard?
The thing is, when inserting special characters (such as ă,î,ș) the SMS character number shrinks from 160 to 70 (some Unicode boulderdash is involved).
Whenever I send long messages (and I usually do) I use the hardware keyboard in order to avoid inserting special characters, so that's my way of disabling prediction.
I don't want to use Swype/MultiLing or other keyboards because they add special keys for Romanian characters, which I find pointless (prediction can be done using a normal English QWERTY layout) and also space-wasting.
So, any ideas? Can this be done?
As a workaround, I have Catalan selected as another language (don't have the dictionary installed for it) and use that when typing on the HW keyboard.

Try z arrow from the market. It lets you use the menu key for copy, paste, and directional arrows. It also has a switcher that will swap keyboards when you rotate the screen.

Never heard of that before. Will try. Thanks!

MMS app with option for enter button?

So I've asked this before; searched xda, searched Google, found nothing. On my old hero the developers had modified the stock mms app to have the option of an enter key instead of the smiley button. I have yet to find such a mod for the evo. Please help! Seems like something that a lot of people would like..
Alternative mms apps work for a while but they always end up pissing me off with links to other apps or other unnecessary crap.
Thanks!

I have the same question, why is the keyboard different based on what you are using. I have an enter key when doing emails, but when doing text -- no enter key, only smiley face. Is there a reason for this....is there a way to turn "on" so I always have an enter key.
I have searched but I have not found it.... I am sure there is a reason, but I do like having an enter key.

I use swift keyboard and it has an enter key for text messages.

There are different keyboards that apps can call for.. for example when an app needs your email address, often it will show a keyboard with an @ instead of a ,
The mms app just happens to call for the Smiley keyboard so you can quickly make emoticons. The HTC hero devs made a replacement mms apk that gave you the option to pick your keyboard but I haven't found anything like that so far on the evo

Galaxy keyboard conundrum

Does anyone know how to add new words to the keyboard please?
Also is there a gesture when writing with the s-pen that adds a space or do I have to physically tap the space bar every time?
It just makes the process clunky and I'm hoping somewhere there's a setting that predicts spaces?
Plus. .. How on earth do I write a comma? It's a pain there isn't a dedicated comma button on the front of the keyboard!
Cheers folks. .. loving my note!

using the handwriting mode it types whatever you write on the screen.
this means if you leave a space between 2 written words it will also type a space.
if for some reason it fails to type a space you can slide the letter after where the space should go to the right to manually add a space.
by drawing a large "return" line(like the arrow on many enter keys) you can clear the handwriting area so you have space to write more words, and if you draw another return line the cursor will jump to the next line.
for a comma you can just write one on the handwriting keyboard, press the Sym key, or hold the period key.
it helps to read the tutorials in the samsung keyboard settings.

Sir, you are a genius! Thank you, the guide was really helpful.

No ability to edit user dictionary?
I am searching through menus and see no way to edit user dictionary. I can add/remove words with long taps in auto-suggest field though as I type.
Am I right and there is no way of just editing user dictionary directly?
