just thought I'd share it with those that don't have it and what not

Is this because you don't like swype? The stock on-screen keyboard is already installed, you know?

Stock sux. Htc ime rules, but swype is basically the same. I may go back to htc ime just because I like the color better. On the otherhand, swyping is nice to have when you feel like using it. I usually just touch tho.
This hardware keyboard sux compared to G1 which already sucked compared to Touch Pro. I am very dissapointed and might send it back.

You my friend need some help. The froyo stock keyboard is really good now with the improvements they continue to make. And the hardware keyboard is the best hardware keyboard on any android device, G1 included.

For vk I prefer HTC over Google...its all preference that's all.... until Google drops a new vk based off blindtype, then I will def switch to that one lol

This is the virtual keyboard I have used on my G1, Vibrant, and G2. Swype is ok but I feel that I can type faster on this virtual keyboard instead.

1) The Froyo VK doesn't have a voice input button. Even though I hardly ever use it, I like knowing I can "type" in to any box using my voice while driving my car.
2) Really wide keys means much more finger movement. Missing number row on top sucks (much more fn-key bs). The fact that the letters are on the left side of each key means I press it off-center which feels weird. The screen has accidentally slid closed (or at least half way) many times while trying to hold the phone and type fast. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TYPE "<" or ">" using the G2 hardware keyboard. I really just can't believe how much it sucks or that anyone likes it. G1 was better. Nothing compares to old HTC Touch Pro. I would give my left nut for a clone of the HTC Touch Pro that had a capacitive TS and could run Froyo with Flash as quickly as the G2.

Thank you for posting this. This is EASILY THE BEST KEYBOARD I have ever used that wasn't a hardware one. And I'm counting the iPhone keyboard. Amazing!

What are you talking about?? The stock keyboard was the first to get voice input and has had it ever since. Have you not used the phone?

swype rocks!! > HTC_IME > Stock VK.

Nah, the g1s keys were very flat. Give it some time, ul get used to it.
Htc ime keyboard is the most visually appealing imo.

[Q] Has anyone tried SwiftKey on the desire HD

Hi,
maybe somebody can help my on my concern. I am highly interessted to get the desire HD however typing long mails is also a issue for me. Has anyone have experience to SwiftKey (understand it is faster compared dto Skype)and or Skype on this device compared to texting on the G2 Keyboard. My concern is as i like huge screens so if i could write even better on Swiftkey on the HD than i will have no need to buy the G2 because of texting anymore (and the G2 besides on the small screen has not even HTC sense which than looks quite ugly in my option).
Kindly help my on my concern...

I realise my reply is a little late, but it still might be of interesting to you.
I've tried various different soft keyboards (inc. Stock android, HTC_IME (/default Sense keyboard), Swype, 8pen, etc) on both my Hero and Desire HD, and have recently bought Swiftkey.
It's certainly far, far more accurate for myself than Swype, which continuously chooses unlikely words over far more likely and common alternatives.
I can't speak for hardware keyboards though, I've never liked them, and find myself more than fast enough with soft keyboards, but considerably more so on the larger screen of the HD.

I know that this is already an older thread, but I'm interested how you get to run Swiftkey on the Desire HD? I have a Desire with a Desire HD-ROM and I can't write emails because the three buttons (send etc.) take up the rest of the screen so I don't see the text field. This seems to be a known problem: http://support.swiftkey.net/discussions/problems/3267-htc-desire-hd-landscape-issue-in-mail-app
SMS runs fine btw. Also have the same problem with SlideIT. Both keyboards only let me see the text field when I switch to the original Touch input-keyboard and back again.

I use SwiftKey on the dhd with no issues.

Have been using Swift Key for the last month now and I have found it amazing. It's freakily accurate in guessing what you want to write.
I have just purchased the full programme after using the trial for a month.
Just download the trial app and check it out, pretty sure you won't be disappointed.

I like SwiftKey too. That and the latest Gingerbread keyboard from Steven Lin.

Need HTC sense physical keyboard correction app

Last night I made the decision to use CM7 on my rooted device. Its working better than I expected. I don't miss any of the HTC bloat. Except one thing.
Before when I used the physical keyboard to type, there was this bar which appeared which gave me choices of words it thought I wanted and the ability to add custom words.
Is there a way of restoring this or a similar app I can use?

I dont think youcan get the htc keyboard in CM7, yet! I uae swiftkey from the market. The word prediction is awesome.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I second Swiftkey, its prediction is fantastic. The only options missing are having it not automatically insert a space after punctuation and having it not try to predict when typing numbers. The first isn't a big issue really, but if you type numbers a lot it gets annoying when it tries to guess what number you're typing.

Well i was here to add another vote for Swiftkey,.... but.... just tried the HTC IME,.... and it works fine,... with prediction in on the hardware keyboard. Note.... you may have to reboot or something as the prediction didnt work straight away,... hmmm... actuali, not working here either, but definitely working fine for sms. Search for HTC IME.
Huh?.... now it is working here. Odd.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Thanks all. After a search, now I knew what I was searching for, I found the solution. Still trying to get it to work properly though.

Apologies for not linking to it.
I have ticked all the boxes that relate to prediction in settings. ..... I have found that just pressing on the cursor with my finger before I start typing enables the predictions. Give that a try.

Yes! Excellent. That works everytime. Its annoying yes, but at least it works. Hope this problem is fixed soon.

Keyboard option for Dinc2

I received my Dinc2 and it came preloaded with GB 2.3.3, the only keyboard available is the qwerty and it sucks hard!! Is it possible to install swype or any other keyboards for this phone? I tried the Better Keyboard but it doesn't even work and keep defaulting back to the lame Qwerty

I like Swiftkey x a lot. Shapewriter is awesome and I'm glad I saved that APK before it was deleted off the market.
I notice Swiftkey X has a lag in it some times when typing fast. It pauses for about two seconds then inputs all letters pressed in that pause very quickly to catch up. Not sure why it does that.

My personal favorite is the Gingerbread keyboard by Steven Lin on market. Good contrast and easy to work. 2¢ of course.

cool i'll give those a try, isn't Gingerbread keyboard by Steven Lin also came with most custom ROM for the Fascinate? it looks very familiar...i just tried it now and love it, feel like home. (that's what i used in Fascinate) LOL

Using swype beta on a dinc2 to type this! Goto web browser and search for swype beta. download the apk and be sure you have checked the box to allow non market apps to be installed.

Check www.droid-life.com. Article on a site that has free apps. Just got SwiftKey x for free. Works like a charm... Almost 2 yrs with a droid... This is by far best I've used on any phones

I actually like stock keyboard. I used swiftkey for a couple of days but i kept getting annoyed when the wrong letter or button was pressed. It seemed alot easier to tap one of the direction keys and mess up my typing. There was also the annoying predictions it tried to do which were kinda off and how I couldn't type without it trying to predict words instead of just letting me type the face out. Pretty fast keyboard though maybe I just had a bad experience.
And what's wrong with a qwerty keyboard? I think that's the best one.

Smart keyboard pro is the best I've used. Very configurable and easy to use - especially for someone like me with big fingers.

I've tried the stock GB, Swiftkey X, and Swype. Each one has +/- but I keep coming back to Swype. It's fast and easy to type one handed. It picks up really well.

Smart Keyboard Pro. I've tried TouchPal, Swype, Swiftkey X, Flext9, but I love smart keyboard.

I did the same thing. Swype is Number 1 for me. #2 would be SwiftkeyX.

Was running better keyboard for the longest time, but recently switched to SwiftKeyX and I doubt I'll ever go to anything else. Usually I hate dealing with predictions, however SwiftKey is by far the best at predictions in my opinion. Gave it a couple days to learn, and it rarely messes up now.

I have to agree. I've tried several market keyboards, and always seem to come back to this one.

Smart Keyboard Pro for me. It just feels right and has what I need.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk

flex T9 has by far the best voice to text period. their algorithm is near flawless. it also has the swype feature that seems to be as good as swype. i love the stock Sense keyboard for the directional arrows, very nice touch. i mainly bounce between T9 and stock. Did swype ever get a speaker button on their keyboard? that is why i quit using it. Also, is that not the longest Beta ever for software?!?! Its been in beta for at least 2 yrs.

The stock keyboard has a swype like feature that works pretty well. Just have to turn on trace in the settings.

Funny that anyone who doesn't own an HTC wants our keyboard and all HTC owners want something different I personally like the HTC_ime_mod by Gimpsta. Themeable HTC keyboard

HTC_IME for Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
yesterday i got my phone well, i used HTC_IME keyboard for nearly two years on my X10 before and i wanted to use it again...i installed it and there was a problem. i took the high resolution-keyboard, but it still is too small for the phones resolution, so the keyboard is very small in the left corner
does anyone have an idea, how to solve the problem?
or are there any information about something like HTC_IME_HD ?

Maybe try the keyboard for the Rezound. Since it too has a 720p screen it may work for you.

hm, i can't find a download-possibility...wether on xda, nor on google...do you know sth?

You can buy Smart Keyboard Pro on the Market. With the right settings itcan mimic the HTC IME perfectly, has a skin with HTC look and can do evem more with a wide variety of settings. I use to miss HTC IME when I switched to the Nexus One 2 years ago, but this keyboard hasn't left me since...

The style doesn't really care, i need a T9-Board with German-Dictionary and...T9^^. Push one button for one letter
*edit* bought it, happy with it thanks

Thumb Keyboard, Smart Keyboard, and SwiftKey X all support the higher resolutions.
I use Thumb Keyboard on my Asus Transformer. I understand the HTC_IME is unique. Perhaps try the Rezound forums and see if anyone will post it.

That was my keyboard of choice, up until the ICS keyboard. Its more accurate than ever, keeps up with my keystrokes and had the best auto correct/ word prediction

I've been using it since HTC_IME got buggy on my SGS2. Well worth the money.

I bought Smart KB Pro and still using HTC-IME (not on Nexus) because its better in prediction. You cant just use KB from another Sense device, it needs to be ported
