[Q] Switch between Swype and standard keyboard?

I just updated to the latest rom (3.70.651.1) on my EVO. Does anyone know if you can switch between Swype and the standard keyboard after you set it up. Tried digging thru the settings menu and I do not see any way of switching between if needed.

In the area that you you need yo type, press and hold and select input method. There you can choose between swype and what ever keyboard you like.
There is an app (requires root) that will automatically switch between two keyboards you prefer in portrait and landscape. I'm using it now and is awesome.

Thanks for the reply

[Q] Hardware key for typing language?

Hello!
i use two languages when typing and since we have a hardware keyboard i would like to ask if there is a hardware key to change between those two languages that i use...i am on CM 6.1.1 currently!

Maybe i didnt phrase it correctly..
I meant,is there a way to switch between languages from the hardware keyboard?
Because having to close the hinge, rottate the phone to on screen keyboard and then switch, to go up and pull out the keyboard again..

Perhaps look into using one of the quick keys into being a toggle?

Nevermind, found it ... select an unassigned quick key, select continue, select settings, select language and keyboard settings.
It won't act as a toggle (without programming a script and installing it) but it'll let you jump between the two via the HW keyboard

nothing happens with this, it just lets u select which languages u wanna use on the osd keyboard..

Just fyi...in sense roms the language switch is the magnify lense button (long press) that switches betweeen the selected languages...still struggling to find anything similar for CM roms though :/

Hi..I run into question like this before...kind of annoying little issue
One less hassle way to switch is long press(same as what you do when try to select text for copying) the text box then a a tiny window will pop up for input method option. in there you can change your input method so you hardware keyboard can be used for other input method.
And if the second language input happen to be Chinese. Suggest you use sogou input.
You only have to long press the text box once and switch to sogou input...and it has build in english mode so you can just use shift+space to taggle between sougo english/chinese mode.

Stock Desire HD Keyboard

Hi,
Installed a MIUI rom but obviously no longer have the default HTC keyboard. Is there any way to get this back? I kind of need the arrows to move the cursor around as there is no trackpad on the HD.. I'm guesing there's no way to get the thing where you press and hold the screen to get a magnified view of the text and cursor?

There's loads of keyboards on tjr market with directional keys but if you are keen on htcs then there is an install apk floating about .....HTC.ime or something or other ... should be on these forums somewhere give the search a go

How do I change keyboards?

This is getting annoying!
I've installed Smart Keyboard PRO, and I am unable to select this as the default keyboard.
Usually I long press in a text box to select an alternative keyboard but it is not working. Any ideas?

Go into settings, language and keyboard to activate your other keyboard.
Then when using the normal keyboard you can swipe down from status bar and select input method.
Hope this makes sense.

i had already activated but didn't know to swipe down!
thanks a million

for you
First, install the keyboard and enable it in keyboard settings (slide to "on").
Second, when you are actually typing in a textbox of some sort, there should be a keyboard notification up at the top of the screen - if you select it, it will let you choose input, and you can select which keyboard to use.
Smart Keyboard Pro is fantastic for typing but horrible for predicting/fixing mistakes
Don`t forget to push thanks

Just curious while we're at this subject, I find the stock HTC keyboard in HOX to be weak in predicting as well. Have seen Galaxy Nexus's stock ICS keyboard instead and would prefer that.
Is there a way I can use the stock ICS keyboard on HOX? If yes, how can I download the stock ICS keyboard and install for use?

[Q] Switch keyboard

Hi all,
Im sorry this is a very stupid question but I can't figure out how to change from htc keyboard to any other.
I mean, I've downloaded a couple of keyboards from the market, ticked "on" on the desired keyboard in language and keyboards settings but I can't disable the default keyboard and so have no way to use the others..
What am I missing ?
Thanks for your answer

Okay I'm sorry I just managed to change keyboard..
The option to switch input was available in the settings of the new installed keyboard.
Not available in every keyboards though.

I guess you always have the option to change it in:
Settings - Language and keyboard

Whenever you open the keyboard to type, you will see a small 'keys' icon on the top left corner of the status bar. Pull the status bar down and select to change it.
