It is hot!!!
That is cool, kudos for finding it. It's pretty much the blackberry qwerty phone pad, but virtual.
Nice find. I might give this a try.
Currently I am using the excellent pocketcm keyboard and i can type really fast with that. Can be found here
http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php
tks 4 sharing.
Now that I have seen the youtube video on this, I like this more than pocketcm. Really excellent product. You must see the youtube video to realise what an innovative product this is. Pocketcm R.I.P
I was amazed after watching the you tube video. Also if you go to the download section it is free until 8th dec 2007!! I've just downloaded going to try it out now.
I grabbed a copy to give it a try, ran the CAB, and when I select "TouchPal" for my input method, it just rolls right back to the standard keyboard. Anyone else have that particular issue? It looks great for one-handed operation, but...
Install went to the device, not the storage card, so please don't suggest that as a fix.
PerfAlbion I just installed to main memory and all is fine. I had to select it and straight away had a intro screen come up. All I can suggest is to uninstall and reinstall. It does work.
wow nice find, thanks!

Try a soft reset. I had to do that before I could use the keyboard myself. Once I soft reset however ... off the the races!!

The install instructions tell you to install, then soft reset as mentioned. I did the power-off reset and it works fine.
Just when you think that these things can be improved any further, Thanks for sharing!
Nice prog. Can't use it, I have fat thumbs.

I should have mentioned I did that too, I suppose.
Actually, I did it twice just to make sure. Must be a conflict with some other app I've got loaded up...

Did you install it on the main memory? it wont work if you install it to your sd card
Yeppers. Installed to main memory. With the RAM/ROM on this puppy, I doubt I'll put much on my SD card but music or maps for the GPS.
Is anyone using it successfully with SPB PhoneSuite/MobileShell/PocketPlus? Those and AgendaOne are the primary apps I suspect would be conflicting.
this is keyboard is awesome, the only thing i wnat is the space bar to be in the middle (like the video) is everyones space bar to the left or is it in the middle...
You can just drag and drop it into the middle !
It doesn't show up
Hi.
I have installed it to the device - soft reset - and it doesn't show up! I can see it in remove programs and if I search for 'touchpal' I find in Program Files/TouchPal/touchpal.dll as well as the help file and some dictionary files.
But I cannot find the executable to run it.
Any help?
Thanks.
Never Mind. Sorry for the noise.
It was working.... I wasn't

Sounds like you figured it out but for others that may read this, in order to activate Touchflo you have to choose it from the keyboard input pop up that comes up when you tap the keyboard icon on the screen. Took me awhile to figure this out as well
It's out alright as a demo but its only android devices with wvga screens (Droid/milestone) you can see it on androidspin
i was wondering if it would be possible to port it to the g1 it couldn't be more than a few classes to change but i don't know.
Try ShapeWriter Works fine on my G1
http://www.shapewriter.com/android.html
Already have shapewriter installed, it's pretty nice but i've read that swype was suppose to be better, so i wanted to give it a try.
I didn't know about shape writer.. I always used htc_ime or slidetype.. ill check it now thanks! But swype wouldn't be hard I don't think. Just changing key size to fit. I tried the swype trial on my g1 and it was a screen size error so idk.. maybe someone good with 9's? Idk if that's what it takes but maybe
no you wouldnt need to edit the keyboard itself if you look in the drawable folder theres keyboards for a vga res and the qvga its got to be just a setting somewhere in the files.
same with me , i tried to instal swype , installs great
just doesnt work , says wrong resolution

Same here, I've been using Shapewriter since it came out. I was one of the initial beta testers. =]
I'd like to try all the slide keyboards. I find ShapeWriter to be incredible. After learning it over a few days and perfecting it over a week or two I'm able to type nearly as fast as I do on a keyboard. If there is something better than ShapeWriter then I'm all for it.
swype
ive been talking to people about getting swype on g1 and mytouch, all we need is the source code.
if anyone has any ideas please let me know

You'd have to ask the makers of swype... not sure how they would take it
really and honestly i don't think that we need the complete source code, theres a file in one of the folders (assets i think) with all the keyboards it contains some settings like the screen type and resolutions. I think that if someone could edit it to reflect the correct g1 settings and resign the package it would work, but don't quote me on it. but if someone would it would be great i tried but couldn't get it to sign correctly but it was my first.
There's a Swype built for Sapphire in the wild, and it almost even works. Might be made to work correctly with some additional work.
i downloaded swype, and got it installed ans works great but only on my AOSP 2.5.1, i downloaded super D 1.7 and cannot install, i says could not be installed on this phone, the file name i have is Signed-swyptest_2. ths was on androidspin for like 1 day and dissapeared.

Check the other thread. I'm the one that made that file.
AndroidSPIN is reporting that an HVGA version of Swype is now available, letting those of us with Eris' finally take a crack at this thing.
Which would be great, if it functioned. The install process goes okay (a step above the poor G1 users out there), but the keyboard then ... nothing. It's as though it doesn't exist. The Settings options are there (under Locale + Text), but nothing seems to happen. adb logcat revealed nothing in particular.
Anybody know what's up here?
You might want to follow this thread and see if it works for you.

I would try it but I'm more of a two handed typer myself...
I like the HTC Keyboard... (maybe because I just got the phone and I'm not tired of it yet). I had swype on my Omnia before I sold it, and it worked ok there because the small, lower res screen made touch typing difficult. I'm not finding that on the Eris. Although Swype would be more fun with a capacitive screen, I had to really push hard to get to work right on the Omnia...
I agree, the HTC keyboard is top-notch. I'm already at near-native typing speed on common words. It was more out of curiosity than anything. I'm always fascinated by emerging input technologies for embedded devices, and this seemed the most clever one to cross my desk in a while.

lol...no trickery...just MAGIC! lmao.
Just download it...
Then go into settings/locale&text/ and check the swype box.
Then head into your text or email app, and long press your dialogue box, it will ask you which input you wanna use swype or default keyboard and select swype!
Only prob I am having is that when i am in landscape mode, it will type but it wont show what i am typing on the screen, but if i switch to portrait it is there? weirdness...
Works just fine for me. make sure to disable audio sounds in the swype settings, there is a bug with the sounds.
I tried using it yesterday but it just wasn't my cup of tea...
here... http://rapidshare.com/files/354228280/Swype.micro.1.16.apk
this version is working fine for me, no expire warning. micro version = no tutorial/help file.
i really love swype on the eris.. it makes typing soooooo easy.
i do like the keyboard that it comes with, but my fingers are too big. i hit the "." when i mean to hit "space", and i hit other buttons when i dont mean to. i want something that will learn my keystrokes. my buddy was telling me about HTC_IME and clicker, but i cant seem to find the right files. i looked into a tatto build, and took the apk files, but they wont install. i get "this program can not install on this device" error
just seeing whats out there. i tried installing the 320x480 myns, but the screen doesnt line up right on anything for me.
I use the free ShapeWriter keyboard found in the Android Market.
Hope this helps.

If you want only the english language...you can ignure the steps with language... But you must change to 120 dpi and change the dialer (contacts.apk)....look here:
Htc ime... it´s a long way....
Start....:
Installation Instructions
1. Install both HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk.
2. Rename/remove the file /system/lib/libt9.so (I suggest renaming to libt9bk.so). You need root permissions to do this (the program Root Explorer works great.)
3. Menu -> Settings -> Locale & text. Enable 'Touch Input'.
4. Go to a text field and long-hold until a menu pops up.
5. Select 'Input Method' and then 'Touch Input'
1.1 Download the latest htc ime from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567294
or here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661525
2.1 make the system root/write access to change the name of libt9
- open terminal
- type "su"
- type "mount -o remount,rw /system"
... and then I could rename the file w/ Root Explorer (must be root explorer..i think)
3.1 change the language: look here:
http://ostebaronen.dk/changing-htc_ime-language-to-danish/
a bit easier: change to htc ime...go to sms and long press on the input text...now a menu come and you can change....
go in a explorer to: data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml (now visible)--and copy it to sd card...
open the xml and change the language code (like in the link)....copy it over the old one....
please do not change the lang setting in text input settings...(you don´t see a lang in this box now)
i think it was all
edit: for the correct view: change to 120 dpi....and take my corrected dialer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676102
Now it´s all...i hope
Super easy, you can get the HTC keyboard in 240x320.
Just follow the instructions,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661525
You will need to d/l the two files and install root explorer.

Because we have now QWERTY(Z) compact qwerty and this is what i like a normal phone keypad...like a normal mobile phone
edit: @ GeJohnO...sorry..2nd link from me is the same...i only have a bigger statement because of language collect all important info´s and correct the 110 dpi issue (HTC_IME looks not good in 110 dpi)
With kind regards..Alex
personally i like the HTC keyboard because i feel the text prediction better because of the clicker.apk includes a calibration app and it seems to adapt to me alot fast than other keyboards.
i also like that if i want to use a number or symbol i can just long hold on a key instead of having to switch to a secondary menu all the time
also staticchmbr i feel like i know you from somewhere?

That's your problem. You have a 240x320 hardware screen on the Vogue, and you are trying to use a resolution that it is not meant for. I do not understand why people think they can do this, and still expect things to function. First of all, you do not NEED the extra resolution, I run about 20 games and 15 apps on my phone, of all different sources, and 240x320 is fine. Secondly, use LCD density "113", just change the build.prop file before flashing NAND, and you are good to go. I have zero issues at all, with any apps.
-C
i AM running the 240x320, but tried the 320x480 just in case that was the issue. finally got it installed, but everytime i run the calibration it says" SORRY, the application has stopped unexpectedly. please try again".. maybe i just dont have the right file? i got it from another topic on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661525&page=5
Can someone please tell me what is wrong with the default Android keyboard? I am 6'7" tall, and my hands are HUGE. My pinky is bigger than my wife's thumb, and I actually text with MY thumb, just fine, which is friggin huge, and I have no issues.
I am just baffled, because I see these 'alternate keyboard' threads all the time, so obviously there must be an issue for some ppl with the keyboard, but I guess for once it is not for us fat-fingers folks. Is it hard to use for small fingers maybe? I am so curious about this as the Android keyboard is such a breeze for me to use.

I agree. I prefer the default keyboard myself.
It's faster too

Yeah, I love the speed of the default keyboard. I've tried Betterkeyboard, and all those, Shapewriter, I think just about every one, and while some are cool, and hold potential, for me none compare to the speed of input in the default. I can type pretty damn fast with the default.
The only keyboard I can see being significantly better is Touchpal. If you remember it from Winmo, it was a FAST and efficient keyboard. But the developer keeps promising a release date, and renigging on it. If you feel like a laugh, go check out the forums:

hey guys,
as the title suggest, can we install swype on the Desire HD?
It works exellent. I came from the galaxy s, and swype was the one thing i missed.
It worked just fine. But you will have to search for a version with your language in it. Then just install it as any APK file. Good luck
I've been using it just fine since I got my DHD - works great, although I wish the annoying pop up about custom words or whatever would disappear.
where to find it? download it i mean??

I find it annoying, when you double tap a word because it's wrong, you get the word selector as well as the Sense popup, so you can't see all the words
which version of swpe are you using i thought it had trouble with landscape on the DHD
I much prefer shapewriter to swype, they are not hugely different, but shapewriter has a few features i prefer.
PM me if you want to apk for the non expiring version. Its not available for sale anywhere, as the company that made it got bought up
Its one of the few apps i would be happy to pay for!

Try hitting the back button when you get the sense popup and the word selector, it makes the sense popup disappear on the version of Swype I'm using, thus giving you full view of the word selector.

Im useing 1.6. Would like a newer version with swedish layout and dictionary.
1.6 works great tough. Swype is really awsome as soon as you get used to it.
I do agree that Swype works flawlessly on the DHD....
However, I must admit, I like the HTC keyboard better....
It better predicts and auto corrects the words I need (in Dutch), also, with swype I find it more difficult to type letter by letter...

I can do this, but then when I choose a word, it inserts it wherever the cursor is so I'm left with giberish
Also, I have contact with a surname that keeps being used when I Swype 'mate'. I did what it said to remove it, it didn't work. I even removed the contact itself... didn't work!
Any ideas?

Hi,
If people are still looking for Swype, I have version 2.15.56.14870 -
I got invited into the beta on Friday was using it before then, the latest versoin is nice, the speech to text is a nice feature.
