There was a pretty good sense keyboard mod when I used my Desire, wondering if anyone plans on giving the new HTC keyboard a work-over?
Yea like totally getting rid off the stupid arrows wtf with that

Somebody posted a version in the themes/apps forum, but it didn't work correctly. I believe he was holding off updating until he got his device this week so he could test it personally. Certainly hope someone figures this out. Love the keyboard, absolutely hate the arrows. I can't understand why they didn't make that a configurable options.
Arrows where there with the hd2 and the desire hd, when I got the sensation I was like wtf no arrows?! So to me there a welcome readdition.
And as I typed that message I realised there not there anymore...wtf

Get the SwiftKey Beta. The best keyboard that I've ever used.

Annoying keyboard
I too got annoyed with the arrows and lack of space between the letters in HTC keyboard. So moved to stock Gingerbread keyboard.
However that is leading me to another funny and strange annoyance in browser address bar. I have fat fingers... and now I can never edit the last letter of URL in the browser address bar. The last letter always is very close to the close (x) button of the address bar, and if I try to put curser there it deletes everything :-(

If I recall correctly (haven't used GB in a while), you can touch anywhere in the bar then drag the cursor to the end.

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.
I prefer using a sliding keyboard over hunting and pecking but i haven't found a keyboard that has all the features I want and wondered if there's other options.
Basically these are my main complaints with the keyboards I've tried.
Slideit: no smiley button for texting, no way to quickly delete whole words, and the worst for me is how hard it is to get common punctuation like the question mark.
Swype: auto spacing is annoying, and backwards. Swype inserts the space after a word is swiped, instead of in the beginning of the next word. This makes it impossible to modify the last word by hunting and pecking without first getting rid of that last space. Slow. Unnecessary. Swype constantly pops ups when "hidden words" are typed and this cannot be ignored, thus breaking up the flow of typing. The need to double back and make scribbles for repeating characters is very unnatural compared with the rest of the text entry, and other keyboards get by without this, it should at least be an option. Finally, and I don't mean to dump on swype so hard, but it does some really funky stuff with punctuation. I can type 'they've', but I can't type 'they'd' without going to the punctuation key for some reason.
Does anyone else have similar gripes with sliding keyboards or are there workarounds or other options out there? Slideit seems the most bearable right now but some if its flaws are quite annoying, too.
I am currently using Swype and I have the same problem, I wish there was a better keyboard to use. Maybe shapewritter? Better keyboard is weird, don't like that one but if there was something with T9 I'd be happy..

Hey guys... I was wondering, if its possible, how can I get the keyboard from 2.2 on cm7. I really like ld that keyboard because it had arrows and it looked better imo. Also, how can I get better user agents in the browser, because ie6 is pretty outdated. I liked how in 2.2 you could deselect mobile view and every site appears in desktop mode.

The keyboard from CM6 (2.2) didn't have arrows, so I'm guessing you are talking about the HTC keyboard that comes with the stock rom.
Look around the Evo Themes and Apps section, or the XDA Android Apps section for "HTC IME Mod." It is the HTC Sense keyboard. However most versions I have seen do not have the arrow keys, since that keyboard existed on other Sense phones before the Evo, which all had a trackball or sensor. But I expect by now someone has released a version with it.
Also some of the alternate keyboards in the market and Swype have arrows, at least in a secondary screen. I use Swype often because you Swype from the Swype button to the symbol button and it pulls up a text editing keyboard, with arrows and buttons for select, copy, cut, paste, tab, etc.

I was having this issue as well. For a temporary fix, I found that if you just go to google.com (logged in) and scroll to the bottom, just tap "Classic" and all the other websites you browse will be desktop versions.
I don't know why it keeps it on mobile all the time though, since the settings are set to "IE6."
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

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.

Hi All
I got the update yesterday.
The problem I have is that the "Choose input method" notification appears whenever I use the keyboard.
I've installed other keyboards, gone through the process of selecting the keyboard and the notification will still not go away.
Has anyone else had this problem, if so, can you help?
Thanks guys
Whenever you type, a keyboard option appears in your notification? This is how JB handles changing keyboards. It's normal.
I also have this - but I only have the stock keyboard, is there anyway to remove it?
Cheers

Not that I'm aware of. Surely a keyboard icon in the notification bar doesn't annoy you? haha.
ICS used a menu shortcut, JB uses the notification. Weird choice I think.. but looks like it's here to stay.
It really does bug me lol. Can't see why you'd want a notification in the corner, asking you if you'd like to change your keyboard - just seems daft lol. Oh well looks like I'll have to cope with it lol.
Cheers
