[Q] Keyboard question for the EVO

Alright so i have been looking for a way to rearrange the buttons the the stock keyboard for the EVO. I am running 2.2 not rooted, but will consider if I am able to rearrange the key. I am always hitting the DAMN . for a space. I have tried swype which isn't a bad keyboard but not for me. Is there a way to rearrange the keys or perhaps get rid of the arrows. Any help is appreciated but trolling however is not...
Thanks in advance

I used to use the Droid X keyboard before Froyo and now run w/ Smart Keyboard paid edition, awesome keyboard IMO, gets rid of the arrows at the bottom, stupid voice button isn't right there next to the space bar anymore, much better keyboard. I think they have a free edition you can check out, otherwise it's like $2.50

There's a version of the stock keyboard w/o the arrows. I can't remember which version it is though. I wanna say mod v27 but I'm not sure. I'll see if I still have it in my computer.

No prob. Just had the app saved to my computer. Not sure how to modify the keyboard. I wouldnt mind being able to move a few things around though.

What keyboard you use?

So folx
Im using the stock one, but im thinking of replacing it because of landscape lag (if the custom one will solve the lag in landscape) and enter key..
What keyboard you use ?

Swype.

Smart keyboard has been my go-to for a LONG time now. I still use it, but I find myself just using the stock ICS keyboard more and more...
I think I've tried just about every one out there (swiftkey, Go, ultra, better, touchpal, etc.) I still think Smart keyboard is the best. Love the customization, the tap-a-word to correct option, large space bar, gestures, etc. It just does everything well. It still uses the old voice-to-text style, and I do love the new voice-to-text options in ICS (word by word). I wish there was a way to access the new way in it...

Stock for me... Used the HTC IME across my other phones (HTC or not) but actually like the stock ICS one more now...

Swype Swype

I like STOCK ICS very much, but the darn landscape lag is irritating me.. And the missing of enter button... But the landscape lag is killing me .. Thats why im considering another keyboard... But i think ill stick to the stock one for little more time

Moslty ICS stock
Sometimes Swiftkey

For me swiftkey is the best. I'm just waiting for an ICS theme. Than it would be perfect

Stock ICS Keyboard themed by me.

Is there a keyboard with programmable keys? so i can assign emails, .com.

I use Swiftkey. Seems that finnish language prediction works best with it and it can handle multiple languages at the same time so its nice.

I am extremely happy with the stock keyboard. That is the first time i've ever been able to say that with any Android phone i've ever owned. I have almost every keyboard available (smart keyboard, swift key, etc) and none even compare to the ICS keyboard when it comes to auto correction.
I read somewhere that Google purchased a company developing an app called "Blind Type" and incorporated that into the ICS keyboard and i believe it. I can type very very quickly and it still does a fantastic job of auto correcting for me.
My girlfriend also has a Nexus and hated the look of the stock keyboard and has since then tried all other keyboards as well... she settled on smart keyboard but has said that even that is not quite as accurate as the ICS keyboard.
She is a very precise typer though and I rely on auto correct heavily to type as fast as I do.

Smart Keyboard. It comes with a dedicated .com button which can also be customized to long press other things (such as www. , .ca , .org etc)
As for me..I always used Smart Keyboard, up until ICS that is. I've been loving the improved accuracy and spell correction now implemented with the stock ICS...although I do still miss some features from Smart (such as some of the swipe options and number layout).

Does anyone know what roms allow you to hide or disable the little keyboard icon when you use different keyboards?

+1 for smart keyboard.
I really like the gestures and long-press for numbers/special characters. Also can change skins to modify the look of it. The auto correct/spell check is still pretty good with ICS.

Can someone post an ICS themed (Black background and ICS Blue letters/numbers) keyboard apk that will work on a stock rooted 4.0.2 build?

Removing Sense keyboard arrows?

I'm on the ViperX rom and I was wondering if it was possible to remove the keyboard arrows, I kind of like the Sense keyboard but those arrows taking up space are really annoying, anyone know anything about this?

I don't think so,i'm on stock ROM and i didn't find any option like that.You can use Swiftey keyboard if you like,i am using it and it's great,and you can add or remove the arrow keys if you like.

I second that, swiftkey keyboard is by far the best keyboard on the market; especially if you use mulitple languages as its very easy to download the languages (literally one click and youre all set).

With viperx Rom there is an option of hiding arrows. Look in buttons tab under venom tweaks

Keyboards.

I was wondering, what are your guys favorite keyboards?
I really like the Sense keyboard, but the arrows are quite annoying, so the best for me would be the stock ICS keyboard, as it is pretty simple and very responsive and snappy.
I don't use any of that auto-correct crap either, what other keyboards can you guys suggest me? I've tried SmartKeyboard but I didn't really like the look of all their themes.

SwiftKey 3, nothing else gets even close to it.
Install that and forget about the others, believe me

Like I said, I don't use auto-correction, and I didn't find a way to disable it on SwiftKey at all.

Ok, thanks SwiftKey isn't the right for you because it's all about auto correct and word predictions.

I like the stock one and prefer to use it but if I had to change keyboards ( happened for some reason before ) I generally use Go Keyboard

Smart keyboard pro is quite good imo

True that!
Swiftkey 3 is the best keyboard I've used so far. Damn thing somehow gets inside your mind and ends up typing whole sentences for you :good:

Sorry for the old thread bump. Auto correct can be disabled (on the current version 3 i think) by going to advanced and selecting what space does. Change it to "always inserts space".
Also you can change your user profile to precision.

I use sense keyboard, and swiftkey 3. They are the best...for my fingers

If you are Running a deodexed ROM, you can use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612558
I installed it recently (on InsertCoin 9.6.2) and it works wonderfully!

Arabic Sense Keyboard
would you please help me find Arabic Sense Keyboard the official one (deodexed) that works with ARHD??
thanks in advance...

I use Swiftkey but it's a PITA that it doesn't allow you to set the height of the keyboard by numerical or slider values as I use a custom DPI.
A.I. Keyboard has a great implementation of this, you can slide the keyboard to any height you want.
I think at the moment though Swiftkey still beats it in auto correction accuracy, but I keep my eye on it each update.

I used almost every keyboard, but honestly I still think the stock Android keyboard is the best (Especially when I ran on Jelly Bean), and I hate the Sense keyboard, I don't know why.

go keyboard ! only beacuse the great themes

In Go Keyboard, is there a way to completely disable auto correct and hide the suggestions and language selection bar over the keyboard?
I love the themes for Go Keyboard but I also like my keyboard to be compact and since I don't use auto correct, I don't like to have any thing over my keyboard.
Last time I tried it, there was no way to remove that bar from the top of the keyboard. Is it there now?

Stock Jellybean Keyboard is my favorite, it's really fast.

Hey! If you like the Sense keyboard but without the arrows theres a theme you can install on top (HTC_IME) and you can choose your own colours too!
Right now im using bai du keyboard which actually is quite good theres a small row on top with numbers and you can do the swipe up and down for the alternative characters.

Sense 7 rom?

Hi guys,
I just got a HTC 10 with sense 8 and found out I don't have the arrow keys option on my keyboard anymore.
I think they are in sense 7 (I had them on my M9). Is a rom available with sense 7 in it? Or does HTC 10 only have sense 8 roms?

HTC 10 comes with the awful (imo) Touchpal keyboard, not their own anymore.
Highly recommend trying out a few on play store and finding one you like with that option. Google keyboard is my go to, but I don't know if it arrow keys.

SwiftKey has the option to show arrow keys on the keyboard.
To answer your question, there are no roms based on older versions of Sense as far as I know.

I too use Gboard (what Google calls their keyboard now). I used to use SwiftKey with the arrows but it's a bummer to lose the screen real estate when I only need arrows sometimes. Gboard does have a way to switch to a screen with arrows. Less convenient but I can have my smaller keyboard with number row.
