CM nightly 175, ive tried a few things but none of them have worked except the multi touch from the droid 2 but the text is mega small
I'd be interested as well. Same thing here... The only one that works is D2 port, with TINY text on regular-sized keys.

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.

Can anyone recommend a great replacement keyboard from the stock samsung keyboard.. i dont use Swype at all.. My main issue with the keys is that its too tightly put together and making LOTS of typos.. been using the phone for close to 2 months already.

Try searching the forum for HTC IME mod, imo its the best android keyboard available, made even better by jonas
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Even I am looking for a replacement keyboard. The issue with Swype is that the keys are small leading to lots of errors and since my native language is not supported I can't swype all the words.
Samsung is good as far as keys are concerned but only issue with it is that if you have to input numbers or some symbol you have to go to a different screen whereas on other keyboards you can long press a certain key and the corrosponding no or symbol is displayed.
If samsung had that option it would have been great.
I have downloaded smart keyboard and it does look good. Lets try it for sometime and see how it goes.
Tried smart keyboard for a few days and i dont really see any improvements... the "." is just placed to close on the space key

Any keyboard out there with the same layout / distancing as the Iphone keyboard but retains the stock SGS or andriod look... I find texting on an ip3Gs / ip4 about 2x better compared to my SGS.
Swiftkey is the best keyboard I have found by far
Swiftkey looks nice, but it has very limited set of keyboard layouts.
For example, it is very funny that is supports Swedish language prediction, but not the Swedish keyboard layout.
Not very speedy to input Swedish words, when you are missing å, ä and ö keys

Starting to stick to Droid x keypad as well.. Easy for quick typing
All of the keyboards around basically have the same spacing in them.. the distance on the iphone keyboard seems to be perfect.. for about 5 months with the samsung keyboard i still get a lot of typos
I actually use Smart Keyboard Pro and find it great.
[Q] The Bogmonster - I have a virtual keyboard working in ICS Beta 3r3.1 & Beta 4r1
Hi all,
First post so excuse the NooBness!
Ok I've just installed the [BETA 3r3.1]Desire S ICS AOSP PORT|WORKING! rom on my DZ- having great fun playing with it - amazed so much of it actually works so soon.
My question is this, from what I can see (don't crucify me if I've missed a post somewhere) everyone is complaining about the lack of the virtual touch keyboard for number entry etc?
Well I have one working! (in portrait mode only at the minute) am I the only one?
Keep up the great work devs!
I've been following it pretty close and haven't seen anyone that has a working v-keyboard. What steps did you take? Install certain applications? Flash a certain zip/kernel?
I smell a troll.

How did you do it?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I read on another post that someone had tried to install the ROM as an upgrade from a CM7 build so I also gave it a try (it sort of works for most apps but breaks others) but I found that it had kept my HTC_IME modded keyboard already installed on my CM7 nightly and that in portrait mode the keyboard did actually work!
I decided to see if it would work on a full wipe install also so I did a superwipe G2+ and then install the apk's for ES file explorer and then my HTC_IME keyboard.
Enabling the keyboard in the normal way, then on the first couple of tries you have to select the keyboard from the notification area manually but after that it works ok.
The spell checking marks every work as wrong but i don't normally use that anyway.
but it works.
A few more screenshots
A few more screenshots of the HTC_IME keyboard working.
Still only portrait (but with the phys keybrd available it's not an issue) but fully usable - voice input works fine too.
If anybody else want to try it I've attached the keyboard apk as well.
Thanks

Just tried this and it kinda works. Rebooting to see if it sticks.
Edit: get force close when trying to use auto fill. Turn it off and it works a charm. As stated only in portrait.

I did try Swiftkey X as well as the HTC_IME but Swiftkey seemed to have problems popping up, and I prefer the HTC one myself anyway
OdieSam reports he's now fixed the built-in soft keyboard for the next Beta.
I'll probably stick with the HTC as it's my standard one though.
All that's needed are a fixed camera, reliable Wifi and SD USB mounting and it's pretty much a workable ROM
Has anyone got handcent working reliably on it yet though?
this has nothing to do wtih the epic specifically but with touch screens in general
i have a samsung intercept and it fell and the whole screen broke but the phone still works perfectly but i cant touch anything i wanna know if theres any special thing i can use to get the inner screen to respond to touch? i dont wanna fix it cuz i dont really use it but i just wanna see if i can get past the unlock screen lol
Won't sliding it open the keyboard unlock it? I have borked touchscreen files on my moment b4 and I had to use the kb to navigate. It sucked but was possible with the exception of some poorly written apps.

ya i thought that would work but it didnt i rooted it and it has an ics theme and it doesnt unlock when i slide it open but its cool im not worried about it i took a closer look and realized the screen part that popped out is actually connected to the phone and it ripped off so its impossible to get it to work thanks tho
