On-board Keyboard and other Mods - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone! I just rooted my G1 an hour or so ago and now I'm playing around with all of the mods and roms and such and was just wondering, in a few of the videos I've seen around the internet, there are keyboard mods which change the on-screen keyboard, anyone know of any in particular?
Also, what are some other good mods people have used personally? Thanks for the help!

I'd offer suggestions if i used any of these, but I suggest searching
the Apps & Games subforum for "keyboard".
the only one I know of is called TouchPal and is in the Market

Betterkeyboard in the market. Probably should have searched a little more first. They don't like new post

[HELP?] Voice Input Keyboard.

Hey Guys. I need help.
I am using Darchdroid 2.7 and everthing is AMAZING!
Everything but the keyboard
I am glad there's finally a Voice Input option, but the keyboard looks horribe. And I know it isn't supposed to be like that because the old one doesn't.
See attachments for examples. The first two are the ones with voice from Darch's Google ****s and the last is the original eclair keyboard. As you can see, the sidebars and the bottom strip are weird.
I told Darch, and he asked me to get someone to fix it (unfortunately, I can't cause I dont know how)!
Please anyone. Thanks in advance.
Guys! Does no one have a fix??
just download and use the htc keyboard! i find it much better
Hmm.. and how might I do that?? And does it lag like it did on Stock Hero?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to q&a
look for the htc ime xda mod keyboard, search for it on the forums and you shouldnt experience any lag with it

If you are rooted and can get into clockwork recovery, you can flash just about any font you want. You just need to grab an "edify" font pack and flash it like you would a ROM. It's not quite as easy as using the UI, but it has the same end result.
And if you knew this already, then I'm sorry I wasted your time by you reading this.
Maybe because you haven't seen an HTC (Sense UI) ...

Looks like it got pulled from the market for some reason.You might want to e-mail the developer and see what's up with it.

This is why I love this site. That's exactly the one I was looking for. My Hero is gatored out except my keyboard. I need to email the dev to see if I can get the apk maybe. Thank you sooooooo much Mac!!!!!!!!

I found out J-B THEMES has pulled all the themes for the market and places them on their site. Part of my issue is resolved. Now if some one can answer the question as to if the is a place to see other app that has been pulled from the market life would be great?

Your most welcome..glad to help out in a small way.
I don't know if this occured to you yet..but you could always try to learn how to make your own skins for your keyboard too if it never comes back to the market..I know it takes a while to learn all of this stuff..but seems like a likely alternative. There's a whole bunch of tutorials on doing various things with a Android..
Mac
No it had not I some what still a noob I would love to learn how to make my own themes and stuff but it is taking me a while due to my garbage work schedule. But I am looking into it. Thanks to root and terminal emulator I can do most of my custom stuff directly from the phone

[Q] How to build this particular theme ?

Folks,
In the topic "Post you homescreen", I saw this marvellous one.. ( I attached it )
To be honest it's like the best i've ever seen..
Without any doubt I send a pm to the user but i think he is quite busy and couldnt reply me.
I've been searching the internet for about 3 days and i did find nothing..
I couldnt even find how to make such a dock ( with texts ) ..
downloaded ADW - launcher pro - dxtop lite - ... nothing works.. no themes around at all similar to this.
Is there anyone who has a clue about how to build such a theme ?
cuz its definitely not a single file to install
you think that is the best you've ever seen!!!
sorry it's just that i hate orange themes
From what I can see:
LauncherPro
The dock icons are posted on this forum actually. "TallMin" by Lekky
The theme itself (statusbar etc) I don't know. Run it through UOT. It's black with orange icons and Rounded Battery, no big deal.
Widgets:
Pure Messenger
Beautiful Widgets
BattStatt
SwitchPro
Transdroid
The music player can be any. They all have that certain feel to them.
The icons on the homescreens I don't know about. Probably something popular
Check DeviantART > Customization > Icons > Dock Icons > Most Popular Ever
It's extremly basic stuff here, it's probably all been mentioned a million times in "Post your Homescreens".
BTW: LauncherPro doesn't theme your statusbar.
You're gonna have to be rooted in order to change it.
And I'm sorry but: You've been searching the internet for three days? That's pure bull****! If you'd been
searching for three days you'd know all this three days ago.

Well, the reason i said that is, i really like simple and pro looking themes..
I've been using I9000 for about 3 weeks, and just started to customizing it..
thats why im quite new about this stuff.
The majority of the themes i saw until now is containing too much stuff in a small screen which i really dont like .. thats why when i first saw this theme i thought this is it !
but anyways i'll keep looking .. thanks for your comment ..
I'll now try to run thorugh what you've written Hope i'll get something similar at the end..
I dont know much about being root .. i need to do a quick search about that..
Well , searching internet for three days.. yes but meanwhile i am doing my second year uni project and writing a few essays so thats not an actual three days time i am not a dumb
anyways i am gonna update the post ..
P.s i couldn't quote your post, it does not allow me to post external links ..
Update: I was really confused about everyting .. starting from what you've writtin i've done what i want , thank you [zHk3R]

[APP]Touchpal Keyboard v4.8

Hey guys,
Touchpal keyboard has just gone out of beta and has been released in the market. Its free until the end of October. Grab it while its free!
I've used many keyboards, including paid apps(swiftkey) and this is the best keyboard I've used on an Android phone. Swypes(they call it curve) better than swype, great word prediction, many options to customize the layout the way you want.
Surely worth a shot, even if your satisfied with your current KB
