Replacement keyboard

Can anyone recommend a great replacement keyboard from the stock samsung keyboard.. i dont use Swype at all.. My main issue with the keys is that its too tightly put together and making LOTS of typos.. been using the phone for close to 2 months already.

Why didn't I try this before! Works great, much better then Samsungs! Thanks man

Try searching the forum for HTC IME mod, imo its the best android keyboard available, made even better by jonas

Even I am looking for a replacement keyboard. The issue with Swype is that the keys are small leading to lots of errors and since my native language is not supported I can't swype all the words.
Samsung is good as far as keys are concerned but only issue with it is that if you have to input numbers or some symbol you have to go to a different screen whereas on other keyboards you can long press a certain key and the corrosponding no or symbol is displayed.
If samsung had that option it would have been great.
I have downloaded smart keyboard and it does look good. Lets try it for sometime and see how it goes.

Tried smart keyboard for a few days and i dont really see any improvements... the "." is just placed to close on the space key

The HTC mod keyboard does not work after an upgrade to froyo. Any way of making that work?

Ill give it a try if you can make an app/automated installer for it

Any keyboard out there with the same layout / distancing as the Iphone keyboard but retains the stock SGS or andriod look... I find texting on an ip3Gs / ip4 about 2x better compared to my SGS.

Swiftkey is the best keyboard I have found by far

Swiftkey looks nice, but it has very limited set of keyboard layouts.
For example, it is very funny that is supports Swedish language prediction, but not the Swedish keyboard layout.
Not very speedy to input Swedish words, when you are missing å, ä and ö keys

I always keep going back to the black droidx keyboard.. love how the keys are alittle bigger

Starting to stick to Droid x keypad as well.. Easy for quick typing

All of the keyboards around basically have the same spacing in them.. the distance on the iphone keyboard seems to be perfect.. for about 5 months with the samsung keyboard i still get a lot of typos

I actually use Smart Keyboard Pro and find it great.

I'm using the gingerbread keyboard from the market and if you long hold space bar and drag up, you might be able to get some arrows

You could use ultra keyboard with the HTC skin, it looks the same and it more customisable.

I must have spent three hours looking for this today. Thank you so very much whoever modded this for gingerbread.

where i can find the htc skin for ultra keyboard?

I was looking for the same thing came across this thread:

The HTC IME from the addons section works on cm7.0.3!
The only thing is I wanted a pure HTC IME skin, but this one is custom themed. Anybody ideas how I can get it unthemed? I tried repacking it with apktool with graphics from HTC_IME_hi v27 but it didn't work. AppInstaller kept staying application not installed without an explanation as to why

thanks button = poked

Got my new SE Neo yesterday and hated the keyboard, tried a couple of the versions on Gimpsta's sight as this is what I had had on my X10 but wouldn't work. Should have known to check here first, thank you for making my nice new phone now perfect.

Thanks for posting!!

Gonna give this a try on my G2X running 2.3.3, hope this works!

just take the apk file (from the 28b version) and install it (is better if installed in the internal storage)! than go to :
Settings---> language and keyboard ---> select htc_ime

[Q] Faster keyboard for fast typing on HTC WS

Hi
I just bought WS and have a oportunity to try my friends Samsung Galaxy Ace. I can compare just a keyboard and typing on it and I was surprised about speed of Samsung! Reaction time between two different letters is very short to compare with Wildfire S! So when I write faster on WS than in text are missing letters, on Samsung not. Why ?
Does anybody have chance to compare Samsung keyboard with HTC ? just try! is that general different of brand or just model different ?
try on your phone tuch letters "A" and "L" and keept touching and increase speed till you reach border of your keyboard or fingers
Correct result shoul looks like : alalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal even you write very fast in my case on Smasung it was perfect.
But on WS looks final text in same speed like: aalllalllalalllalalallaaalalalallaalaalll
Is there any way how to increase reaction time on WS? if not than I sell my WS and buy Samsung
and sorry for my english

Tested it on my WFS and I see what your saying.
I use Swype beta for touchscreen input. Its a very fast way of typing when you get used to it

Surely the WS is just too small to type quickly and accurately?
I have installed something called big thumb (?) or similar which makes things slightly better ... I wish I'd bought a bigger phone to be honest

Yap. I noticed that too. I can't belive it but Samsung keyboard is better...

this is not a problem of small keyboard but problem of Android settings from HTC. I think its slow becasu of vibration of keyboard. Smasung has no vibration and I found that I do not need it at all! Yes, bigger display is better but I can tuch rigth letters easy on WFS but its just slow. You have to try writte something on Samsung and you will see! And becasuse Samsung Galaxy Ace has now Android 2.3.3 and video 640x480, enaught of RAM even it is less than WFS I am gonna to sell WFS and buy Smamsung And I think that battery is better as well. Finaly I do not like HTC Sense as many so why I bought HTC ? Because I just do not have experience, but only read specification and compare numbers and its is not good way to select right phone. Ok next time

And as I wrote its a problem of Android settings from HTC. It means that some one who is skilled can make some edit of Android and just change a respons of keyboard.
anybody knows ? ?
hey users of HTC, are you satisfied with speed of your keyboard ? If yes, just try samsung or learn to writte faster

I've just installed Beta Swype and the problem is solved

I use swiftkey X and that is very responsive.

You need to sign up to the beta to start the download process.
Bit of a hassle but worth it

Thanks. I had Swype before on my Samsung Galaxy Ace, found it useful but the keyboard's look just doesn't make the cut for me.
But for those who don't want Swype then they can download the Keyboard for Android 2.3 by Steven Lin from the Android Market, quite useful too. Not like the WS keyboard, the A and L trick should work.

I use smart keyboard pro. You can customize it a lot and also change visuals. Now i have a samsung style keyboard. You can also make the keyboard larger for bigger buttons etc ...

I've abandoned QWERTY and have started using the XT9 keyboard which suits my sausage sized fingers perfectly.

[Q] ICS stock keyboard with HTC_IME layout?

Hello!
I recently flashed an ICS rom on my Desire HD and I love it! However, I'm not very fond of the stock keyboard, but love it's colors and all the small things like when you auto-correct something the words blinks green-ish.
Also, the Swedish dictionary sucks really bad, it's very inaccurate and often makes spaces in words where there shouldn't be any. The auto-correction is really, really bad too and more often than not suggest words that doesn't even exist.
Does anyone know if there's any keyboard out there that works and looks like the ICS stock one, but with the layout and dictionary of HTC_IME by Jonasl?
Thank you!

Did I put this in the wrong forum or is there really no keyboard that looks and works like the ICS stock one, but with a dictionary and layout (long presses on keys for special characters etc) out there?

Have you tried the "ice cream sandwich keyboard" from the android market by binary buige? Its free as well might be an idea?
If I helped don't be scared to hit the thanks button

Thanks, but it's not really what I'm looking for. I tried another similar keyboard with better dictionary (than stock), but both that and the one you suggested has the same layout as the stock keyboard.
I prefer the special character layout from HTC_IME by jonasl, where you long-press a key for eg. questionmark.
On stock (and this) you either have to long-press . and drag your finger to the correct symbol, or click the symbol-key. Not as fast or as comfortable.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

Ah ok, sorry I couldn't help you man
Guess you'll have to keep searching - hope you sort it out tho

Hello!
I have disburdened the HTC IME for ICS, for flashing across the recovery, all good, but only it gives failure in a thing.
As that it is predictive and alphanumeric, and on having written it shows you suggestions of words for if the one that you write is not the one that querias, since
I give him to a word of the suggestions, and it gives me to force closing.
I have ICS 4.0.3. Of Teamhacksung... Some solution?
I like much this keyboard and it would not like to change it into other one.
Thank you
PD: I sit for the bad Englishman, use a translator since I am Spanish.

You did install the clicker_hi.apk too i hope?
This is mandatory for the keyboard correct functionality

I Downloaded this archive clicker_hi.apk:
http://www.mediafire.com/?mrwzkti754o7dcf
I have not stooped this file of there and either it me works, when I write and give him to someone of the suggested or corrected words, closing is forced.
If only I write without giving him to these suggested words, it does not force closing but clear it like that cannot be...
It is possible to know since you it did?
I use the ROM ICS Teamhacksung's 4.0.3 Build16
Thank you

Stock 3x4 Gingerbread keyboard

Hello
I'm running ICSSGS RC5 and i'm missing the stock keyboard with the 3x4 keypad..
I tried searching the whole forum and got 1 working but no vibrate..
Anybody has the file and a good explination what to do ? (permissions .. )
Help me out guys, cant type without this keyboard!
Thanks

You will definately run into problems trying to get that to work when you are using custom ROMs.
You should use Touchpal Keyboard
- It has the 3x4 keypad option (it's called 12 key phonepad in this app)
- It has more features
- You can type faster
- You can easliy save your settings when switching ROMs, and it is guaranteed to work on every ROM
- It is free!
You can find v4.8.6 in the market.
I am using v5.1, which is MUCH better. Download in the second post, here:
