HTC Keyboard on my XDAndroid TP2?? Can't get it to work.

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

Not working on Diamond 2 also...

Physical kbd FTW!

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.

Needed - Custom CWM/Gingerbread keyboard

Hi all, I recently flashed my SGS 2 with Angelo ROM but I have noticed over the last couple of days that no ROM has the gingerbread keyboard. I have a .zip file, but the CWM I have is giving me the E: bloody signature verification failed message.
Does anybody here have a custom CWM that I can use to flash it, or an alternate gingerbread keyboard installation type thing?
Also, I wanted to know if anyone could tell me where to store external wallpapers in the root system so the wallpaper pickers find them automatically?

I thought you guys were crazy about. Coming from an HTC phone, I can't even think of day without my GB kb! Enjoy and press the thanks button.

Just install the APK, noCWM needed. You may need to root your phone, not sure because I never tried on stock. if you need root, go there.

I'm sorry, I think I have missed something somewhere. Did you have a GB keyboard thing I can use?

Did it work?

gingerbread keyboard is also on the market

Just use the free one from the market. Nice and high resolution.
You have to set the vibration intensity to normal in settings for vibe to work though.

I literally only just found the bottom of your message (teach me for reading on my phone late at night). I don't have a .apk for it, only a flashable zip file. I'd still like a custom CWM so I can install other zip files too though.
@yamanote, @norpan111 what is the app called in the market, searching "gingerbread keyboard" is not turning it up for me.
EDIT: I found it! All installed although my one is still prettier. Can anyone help me with my CWM/Wallpaper issues?
EDIT AGAIN: Frustrating! My lockscreen has vanished again and the home button on the phone doesn't actually take me to the homescreen anymore. Has anybody had the same problem?

'Keyboard from Android 2.3' by Steven Lin. It's free.
Just wondering, how is yours prettier? Too lazy to install to see

The one I used to have, and -was- able to install on this phone was from here:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/app-14-04-11-new-themed-gingerbread-kyb-fully-working-edited-few-links.689/
in this style:

Argh, I can't use a keyboard that doesn't have a comma on the main text page.
Swiftkey X is the best I've used yet. It would be perfect if it had Swype style functionality as I can't use Swype due the the stupid number placement - calculator style instead of keyboard style.

to be fair, I thought I wasn't going to be able to deal without swype, but someone recommended the Gingerbread Keyboard to me, so I tried it. After some trial and error I couldn't do without it... probably until the next best thing comes along.
I'm a butterfingers, I need something more intelligent than me keeping an eye on what I'm actually typing.

[Q] Miui keyboard

I have a question about my keyboard for MIUI, sorry if its the wrong section but, I have Miui 1.8.19 and for a long time now i cannot toggle the vibrate. For some reason my keyboard never vibrates i wipe everything and i dont know where to find a keyboard that is free and isn't swype and i want to use this stock android. Does anyone have a fix for me or a new keyboard. Anything would be greatful thank you.

Go into menu -> settings -> sound and turn on haptic feedback. See if that works for you.

This is not a solution to the problem. Swype doesn't vibrate either. Tried GO keyboard as well. Haptic feedback works everywhere else though.

[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?

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

Hmm, I only have an arm up my sleeve - c'mon what's the trick Wolves boy?

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.

Updated.
Now running Beta 4r1 and the original method i used still works - soft keyboard is working fine just as before.

Thank you very much, it has worked.

does it work with any other keyboard or is it strictly the modded one?

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?

[Q] cant change qwertz to qwerty

well, im not a complete noob, and im doing it right. clearly in keyboard settings there is
to choose from qwertz, qwerty and phone input (3 letters per key) but phone just wont
listen when i tell it i want qwerty instead of qwertz! i tryed changin multiple times, even restart phone
after change.. no go.
now i cld install different keyboard but i like how the sense one merges with everything else in sense,
and it looks good, any tips on what to try? ty

You're running a custom rom or you're stock?
If custom, which rom you have??
If you're stock, an hard reset should resolve your problem...

im in stock 4.1, phone only week old.
not so sure about reseting complete phone for that..

SwiftKey is way better than any stock keyboard.
