[Q] Switch between Swype and standard keyboard?

I just updated to the latest rom (3.70.651.1) on my EVO. Does anyone know if you can switch between Swype and the standard keyboard after you set it up. Tried digging thru the settings menu and I do not see any way of switching between if needed.

In the area that you you need yo type, press and hold and select input method. There you can choose between swype and what ever keyboard you like.
There is an app (requires root) that will automatically switch between two keyboards you prefer in portrait and landscape. I'm using it now and is awesome.

Thanks for the reply

Stock HTC Keyboard For CM7 With Arrows

I am using CM7 but want the stock keyboard... I can't function without the arrows and a trackball....
anyone help?

On the text fields there is now a slider to slide the cursor around. Have you tried using this? I, personally, find this more intuitive and useful than the arrow keys.

the stock keyboard I can help you get on CM7, but no arrows.

You should check out swift key beta x and after you install u can go into the settings under theme and layout section enable arrow keys its free for now and its a really good keyboard I think better then stock. I use the fast prediction of settings.

On the gingerbread keyboard you can press the spacebar and drag up to get arrow keys.

[Q] ICS keyboard mods?

I was wondering if there were any ICS keyboard mods out there? I really like the autocorrect abilities of the stock keyboard but i hate using a keyboard that doesn't have long press alternate keys.
right now i use swiftkey x, which does both but i've had a little better luck with the autocorrect of stock keyboard. I've also occasionally experienced stutter with swiftkey that wasn't happening with the stock keyboard.
it would also be cool to have the ability to customize smilies : )

Me too. Plus one on the "customizing smileys."

How do I change keyboards?

This is getting annoying!
I've installed Smart Keyboard PRO, and I am unable to select this as the default keyboard.
Usually I long press in a text box to select an alternative keyboard but it is not working. Any ideas?

Go into settings, language and keyboard to activate your other keyboard.
Then when using the normal keyboard you can swipe down from status bar and select input method.
Hope this makes sense.

i had already activated but didn't know to swipe down!
thanks a million

for you
First, install the keyboard and enable it in keyboard settings (slide to "on").
Second, when you are actually typing in a textbox of some sort, there should be a keyboard notification up at the top of the screen - if you select it, it will let you choose input, and you can select which keyboard to use.
Smart Keyboard Pro is fantastic for typing but horrible for predicting/fixing mistakes
Don`t forget to push thanks

Just curious while we're at this subject, I find the stock HTC keyboard in HOX to be weak in predicting as well. Have seen Galaxy Nexus's stock ICS keyboard instead and would prefer that.
Is there a way I can use the stock ICS keyboard on HOX? If yes, how can I download the stock ICS keyboard and install for use?

Samsung Keyboard

Is there a way to set the Samsung keyboard to default to the handwriting pad whenever the Samsung Keyboard is chosen? Right now it always defaults to the touch keyboard with I never use (prefer SWYPE if I'm not using the s-pen). It is getting annoying to have to manually change to the handwriting pad all the time. Does this setting exist within the settings menu or is there a work-around?

Go into the keyboard settings and select "pen detection"
