Hi,
I'm just coming from the Hero. I love the EVO, esp with the MIUI rom!
But I do miss one thing about the Hero. The trackball. It was very helpful in helping me scroll through words/letters to get the cursor to the accurate location, esp when I have typos to correct.
The delivered HTC keyboard has arrows on the bottom to account for that, but with the stock Gingerbread type keyboard on the MIUI rom, it's missing.
Is there anyway that you can accurately position the cursor as with the trackball? My fat finger is not accurate enough.
Thank you.

Hmm, not that I'm aware of. As you already noted, the stock HTC keyboard has the arrows, but no other keyboard that I know of does. I don't recall which keyboard it was, but there was one that I used at one point in time that allowed you to enable a setting, that would allow you to use the volume rockers to move the cursor. That was a pretty cool feature. I just wish I could remember which keyboard that was. I don't recall, but I think it was the native keyboards on one of Myn's older ROMs, but couldn't say for sure.
Swype has arrows.

SlideIt also has the arrows, but they are buried in one of the alternate keyboards.
Hey guys... I'm using the version of the HTC IME keyboard that is included in Calkulin's rom (which is great), but it has a divided spacebar with a ".com" on half of it.
I used to use an HTC IME keyboard on another device that had a wide spacebar, with no ".com" on it, and I am wondering if anyone could kindly point me in the right direction for that keyboard that would be compatible with the E4GT. I keep hitting the ".com" when I'm trying to space.
Thanks for the help!
Smart keyboard, better keyboard or ai keyboard (to my knowkedge). You can adjust the size and length and the keyboard
Thanks guys. I actually started using the ICS keyboard and I'm really liking it.
Hi xda. I know there are third party keyboard apps that can do split tablet mode and small keyboard on the side for typing with one hand but I don't really like it. Is there a way to do it with the default keyboard? If not is it possible to use the nexus 10 keyboard? Has someone extracted the apk? Thank you in advance.
Love my note. Typing this on our. But I want a keyboard that I can type continously on.
Which keyboard do you prefer and why?

I like SwiftKey.
I used the trial of SwiftKey for a bit and enjoyed it enough to buy it. I like to make the keyboard quite small and undock it and use my finger or the spen to swype my words out. I can get pretty quick sometimes. The stock one wasn't too bad, if I remember correctly, but while using the small, undocked version there was an annoying lag when summoning it after selecting a text field. Another I liked was the Multiling keyboard. I think that's what it was called.
Hands down Swift key. I can type with my eyes closed on this. Tablet version works great.

I own three keyboards, Swiftkey, Thumb and Swype.
On the Note, I use Swiftkey in split mode (landscape). It works good for me. Not perfect, but good.
It's predictions are very good. But in split landscape mode, it only offers two suggestions at any given time even with all the space available. It would be perfect if it allowed a bit more customization and handled incorrect predictions better. The keyboard on the Palm Pre and the HP Touchpad had better correction feature where if you hit backspace, it would revert back to the word you typed and not the prediction. Thumb keyboard also does that, but Swiftkey does not. I don't understand why since it is so logical. Swiftkey has a number of sizing options and I find it to be the best fit on the Note of all the ones I've tried.
Thumb allows for a lot of customization down to customizing the alternate keys on long presses and long press timing. Swiftkey allows for customization fo long press timing, but not the long press alternate keys. With all the space available in split landscape mode, Swiftkey allows you to place a numerical keypad in the center, but stupidly, not cursor keys, even with all the space. It has cursor keys on the number/symbol page, but it could easily fit them on the main page in split landscape mode. Thumb allows many other keys in what would be the otherwise empty space in split mode, including cursor keys. Also, none allow for a dedicated 5th numerical row like the Palm Pre and HP Touchpad layout, although the Thumb keyboard does allow for a 5th row of custom keys where you could make them numbers, I suppose. But I find the predictions on Thumb to be inferior to Swiftkey by a long shot and none of the themes, sizing and layouts really work for me as well as Swiftkey.
The Swype keyboard just doesn't work well in Landscape mode. The keys are too small and there is no provision for resizing them. So that's just out as an option.
You're best off downloading the free versions and toying around to see what you prefer. But I would try Swiftkey and maybe Thumb.
Multiling O keyboard.

I started using SwiftKey in mini mode undocked. It goes under my right thumb and I swype one hand like a phone. Not perfect but it works

I like Flseky. It is elegant and after you get used to type with it, It is really Fast.

I have Kii on all my device. I like the fact that it can be configured different for portrait and landscape. Like in landscape I don't like the keyboard the full width, I type with one finger so full width is a stretch. I put a 25% margin on the left & 5% on the right. Can have a number row on top or nav arrows on the bottom. Will also do swipe. The predictions aren't as good as Swiftkey but still okay. Themes, lots of configuration, split for thumb typing, themes. You can try the premium features for hour then they reset.
