Any way to fix HTC keyboard's prediction?

Hi,
I don't like the word prediction on the standard HTC keyboard. If Itype a word that's not in the dictionary, I can either change it to the word the prediction suggests, or insert + save the word I typed in.
the problem is, sometimes I DON'T want the word saved, like it's a one-time-use word. the prediction on the android keyboard was much better; tap the word once to insert, tap another time to save. (but I like HTC keyboard's symbols-handling better)
any way to get this "tap twice to save" on the HTC keyboard too?
btw does anyone have a download link to android keyboard?
edit: oh and is it possible to turn off the "buggy" text reflow in the web browser?

Tap twice to save is not possible afaik with the standard HTC keyboard. However, if you search for the HTC_IME mod by some guy called Jonas, you will find a modded version of the keyboard which you can configure somewhat into the direction you described. Root isn't required for this keyboard btw.
Good luck!

[Q] DZ Sym Key Menu

Is it possible to add additional symbols to the sym key menu with the stock sense rom?

This I would like to know as well. For example how do you write the "less then", "more then" symbols on the HW keyboard?

I actually dropped HTC a query on this, and their reply can be summed up as one big "no" without suggestions for any workarounds.
My query to them:
Hi,
Using my Desire Z, I realise that when I have the slide-out keyboard open and would like to type certain symbols such as "<" and ">", it is not possible to do so. The "Sym" key only pulls up a short list of special characters, not including the above 2 examples.
Is there any alternatives other than to use the on-screen keyboard?
Thanks.

Their reply (with no answer to an alternative):
Thank you for contacting HTC. With reference to your query, we are sorry to tell you that the symbols not showing on the slide-out keyboard can not be input nowhere other than the on-screen keyboard. Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again. We look forward to be of service to you again.

For now, it's seems that the only way to get the other symbols is to map the keys yourself.

special characters in sms bug?

hi!
is there any fix or something to remove special characters from sms?
im from Portugal and for example the word "já" if i type it with the accent in the "a" it ocupies 90 charecters from the 160 sms limit.. but if i type the word "ja" without the accent in the "a" it only occupies 2 characters.. what a weird bug..
im using cm7 with go sms and swift kb..
is there any way to skip the accents special characters etc?
for example if i write the word "não" it automatically changes to "nao" to skip the chars..
thanks all

yes there is. you need to use htc_ime mod. it is an improved version of stock htc keyboard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608
read this post, so u will know what to do
it installs as a regular apk.
other options are:
-3rd party SMS application with that option
or
-if you use swype then you would have to find a ASCII version

thanks.. isto use swift and i love it.. dont want to get back to htc ime mod :x
well i will search for more info.. in last option i have to go backup to htc ime. :x
thanks

IME mod keyboard/stock keyboard + gingerbread = problem

Hey Guys
searched the forum but couldnt find anything about it so heres my new thread
using GingerVillain rom with the HTC Ime mod but sometimes cannot repeat the bug, when using the custom imitation of stock keyboard bar, the prediction windows with the words disappear from that bar until i kill the keyboard, i can type etc, but i just cant see the possible correction words, i know its not a big deal but it does get annoying when every couple texts u have to do that.
anyone knows how to solve this?
ps. do you guys know how to get the dictionary working in the stock keyboard? i find it more accurate than the ime mod but i.e. polish dictionary doesnt work

GO Keyboard - stop processing the hardware keys!

Currently on CM7.1, using the latest version of GO Keyboard. Does anyone have any idea on how to disable prediction for the hardware keyboard?
The thing is, when inserting special characters (such as ă,î,ș) the SMS character number shrinks from 160 to 70 (some Unicode boulderdash is involved).
Whenever I send long messages (and I usually do) I use the hardware keyboard in order to avoid inserting special characters, so that's my way of disabling prediction.
I don't want to use Swype/MultiLing or other keyboards because they add special keys for Romanian characters, which I find pointless (prediction can be done using a normal English QWERTY layout) and also space-wasting.
So, any ideas? Can this be done?
As a workaround, I have Catalan selected as another language (don't have the dictionary installed for it) and use that when typing on the HW keyboard.

Try z arrow from the market. It lets you use the menu key for copy, paste, and directional arrows. It also has a switcher that will swap keyboards when you rotate the screen.
