I have been looking all of the forums and I can't seem to find the HTC touch input keyboard themes for the Evo 4G. The only touch input keyboard I can fine is older ones I'm looking for the one with the navagation arrow keys on the bottom.

Gingerbread Keyboard for Rooted Devices
Gingerbread Keyboard is out for the DroidX and Droid2. Are there any developers that can help get it ported to the Incredible??
I flashed it and it works on the inc too.
Roger that, its working for me. Its taking a bit to get used to the keys in landscape mode though. They seem a bit flat.

I'm sure there used to be an easy way to change the keyboard type on the DHD, without having to go into Settings ie switching between QWERTY/Phone Pad/Compact.... I can't remember where this was.
Anybody know?
Hold down any text input box whilst selected, press input method and then choose your keyboard. Note that only the keyboards you have enabled in settings will appear.

When I hold down a text input box I just get the paste option... unless I'm misunderstanding...?
Thanks.

Do you have other keyboards installed AND enabled in Settings > Language & keyboard ?
Well, I've got the three standard HTC keyboards listed there... I don't see where one enables them as such, just a radio button to select the one you want to use.

Oh, I mis read your post. As already said before, it's that hard to change on Android.
The workaround is to install an additional input method; I installed Swype. So I have qwerty on Swype and switch to phone-keypad on the default keyboard.
Has anyone got the gingerbread keyboard to work on desire HD, mine keep foreclosing whilst it works flawlessly on my desire.

I have Gingerbread keyboard on my DHD, got it from market, using it for about ten days or so, didnt crash once.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
There's a new kb on the market called SwiftKey X and its pretty bad as.. I it can look throughout sms, gmail, twitter and facebook to pick out your typing habits and kinda learns how you type/talk.. Nice setup and the word prediction is outta this world.. for instance it will let you type a few words and actually predict what you're next words will be... Check it out I promise you won't be disappointed
* I'm just sayin......
Ya I have the original SwiftKey keyboard. SwiftKey X so far doesn't want to play nice with Keyboard Manager, and the hardware keyboard, though. I use Swype for portrait and SwiftKey for landscape and it's gotten stuck with the alt button a couple of times and I had to switch to another keyboard. But I think it'll be really good when they get the bugs worked out.

So I downloaded swiftkey free version yesterday to test it out. Its nice but for some reason it is still on when I flip out into super-text/qwerty keyboard time. This makes using the qwerty impossible because swiftkey doesn't recognize the keys you type.
I think its probably a software glitch has anyone experienced this? I found the option to disable it when using hardware keyboards but it didn't help..
Thanks

You probably want to disable autocomplete for the hardware keyboard. There is a setting for this in the SwiftKey 3 settings menu Advanced section. With Hard Keyboard autocomplete disabled it works great.

I noticed that and had it disabled. I think the problem is that sometimes when I flip out the keyboard it starts with the alt button so when I type it is all symbols and such. Simple fix is just to press that button when flipping open the qwerty, slightly annoying b/c its sometimes and not always but not a big deal.
Is there a port of the Sense keyboard or is there another keyboard with arrow keys that aren't buried behind 3 layers of alt key switches? A lot of people think the arrow keys are a huge waste of screen but I frequently edit long posts, and it's maddening trying to position the cursor somewhere exactly before or after some specific letter by jabbing your finger and hoping it does't misinterpret what you wanted as highlighting, zooming, cut or paste or delete, etc...

Yeah, SwiftKey has a toggle for arrow keys in its settings. They take up a little extra real estate, but I like them

I've honestly never seen arrow keys in Android... lol
Except for when I had the epic 4g and that was a physical keyboard.
I guess you learn new things everyday

I think legacy features still come in handy now and then. If you don't have the finger precision of a child-laborer, text editing can be a hassle without those arrow keys

Yeah true..
Well at least the s pen adds a bit more precision.
But I rarely find myself actually using it
So are the arrow keys specific to htc legacy devices?
Maybe that's why I've never seen them... I've never owned anything htc
I've played with some htc devices...but when I did they didn't have sense for very long for me to see them
No, HTC just happened to include the arrows as a feature of the Sense keyboard. SwiftKey includes it as a theme option.

Thumb keyboard 4 has arrow keys that are resizeable. Hell the whole keyboard is customizable from the size to layout and theme, I just wish it had an option for the 5th row of numbers
I like to break stuff!
touchpal keyboard has an option to show them too
a.i. keyboard has both the number row and arrows
