you do not need to remove the stock samsung keyboard.
Download this to you pc, unzip it. Copy both files to your device.
At your device go to the folder where you copied the to files, install them both.
Go to settings -> Locale and text -> check HTC_IME mod is selected.
Now go into some application where you can write somethins, for example sms. Touch the writing filed and hold it until a menue pop´s up, touch "Input method" and now select HTC_Ime mod.
Done.
They should mod this so you can still keep the samsung keyboard
Thank you very much, very helpful

Not everyones native language is english, german or french ;-)
I don't know which ROMs you use but Swype on my phone has just about every european language you can look for.
That's just not true for my device. There is no bulgarian, no slovenian no serbian for example.
Using jg1.
Bulgaria and slovenia are even in the european union.
I love the HTC keyboard, it is so much better than the Samsung one, also I used swype for about a week and I just didn't see the big advantage but that's just my opinion.

Swype I find awful, I've given it some time but it's so restrictive especially when dealing with URLs and email address etc
I've heard that this should be better since it has the multitouch thing where you can hold one button (letter) down and still type.

I have just tested this droid keyboard and it is much better than htc becouse of multitouch support. Too bad its doesnt have my national letters included so i cant use it.

Has anyone noticed that the built-in samsung keyboard also has multi-touch? Press down a letter, and you can still type. It doesn't seem to work for Shift + a key, but it is still multi-touch
I've been using the vlingo keyboard and I like it a lot.

Yeah that's true but all other keyboards are just as bad for that so I don't see why that little inconvenience should rob you of the great experience swype gives for all other purposes.

True, but it works for one letter only; so you can't press shift to type a whole word like you can on the Droid X keyboard.

Wanted everyone's opinion on this. I never used swipe before, but I seen my brother using it and it looked pretty cool. I know a few people use it, So I wanted some opinion's on what hero users think. Thanks

I'm in the Swype beta, and I've used it in the past, but it can be a pain in the ass to get working after changing roms, so I generally use the LatinIME board. All things considered though, Swype kicks ass once you get used to it.
I'm using it now & it's nice but yeah you do have to get used to it but after you should be good to go. Once you get used to it you'll notice your texting & typing will become a lot quicker
For those of you who use the touch (non swiping) keyboards I'd recommend trying out SwiftKey.
I used swype almost since the beta was first released and never thought I'd switch. But after using the SwiftKey beta for about a week - back when it was still in Beta - it changed my mind.
The predictive text works really well and there's a lot less movement compared to swype.
But out of the two options the OP listed, I'd definitely go for swype. No question

Where can I get a swype apk download ?
Personally I prefer the GB keyboard. I've used both. I can type very quickly with the GB keyboard. Swype and the HTC keyboard are tied for second.

In my opinion, I think Swype is really good but. I think the HTC keyboard is really good, but since I found the ginger bread keyboard I think its awesome. On the other hand, there are some tweaks that I want but ill wait till the next generation keyboard

It just isn't happy when you switch between them.. You have to reinstall a lot if you are a chronic flasher..
I prefer swype totally, swiftkey is awesome however not free, gingerbread is good.. If swiftkey were free I would go with it, but its not so swype is it..

I think swype's the best, that's just my two cents
Yeah I think swype is the best too but if you do try it I would back it up with titanium & make sure it's installed on the phone cuz just like someone said earlier with the chronic flashing we do especially with switching roms it will disappear on you & if it's not on the internal memory it will go bye bye when you reboot or unplug your phone via USB ...learned from experience it was a drag -____-

I don't think its a rom issue, its more the way they have you go about installing it.

I like swype tried swiftkey (i found somewhere) it's cool killing the gb keyboard. But swype is where it's at but it runs out ( mental note to self use apk manager to hack swype to stop running out of time) of time.
You know, I just reinstalled swype, and had no troubles with it. They seem to have changes the way the installer functions. I even had issues installing this on stock unrooted Sense.

if you've never used swype your texting on the GB/original rom keyboard will be A LOT faster
BUT
once you get used to swype and gain some experience with it under your belt you'll see that your texting/typing will be A LOT LOT faster than the keyboard
my first week of using swype i saw a noticable difference in speed for the better....but believe me that first few days i was so frustrated with swyping lol
Using the Aosp 2.3.2 Gingerbread....lovely ROM, however I hate the keyboard. I think I had this problem with a CM build as well but didn't keep around long enough to care.
I've been using the phone keypad for text input for years and don't want to change.
Are there options?
Huh? Are you talking about T9? Smart Keyboard Pro has a T9 function I think.
no im talking about this...
well, I'm not awesome enough to post a link yet apparently. It involves installing the htc_ime.apk
This just force closes everytime I tap on a box to input text.
I want the dial keypad, of course with T9. As seen in attached.
Did they get rid of this altogether? Or is it just this rom?
just checked SmartKeyboard...trial version. yes that's what I was looking for. Never saw that as an option in any searches.
Thanks, I'll continue to play with it, but it would be nice to have the HTC Input work being that it is free and all.
HTC anything won't work without htc frameworks (as inside an htc/sense rom)
Google this "flext9 keyboard apk hvga". I believe it has what you need as well as a swype-like function AND a shapewriter-like function. I can't upload it for you from my phone but you might have luck with google.

There are several applications on the market like Evenbetter (paid app) or Better Keyboard 7 (free) that have the input you are looking for, which is in and off itself called "T9" text input. Just do a search in the market for "T9" to see your options.

Tap in the three xda letters; then, on the far left end of the suggestions, you should see xda itself; tap it. Once done, the bar should change to asking you if you want to add that word to the dictionary - tap that and it gets added.
Thank you.

That one raised by blood pressure more than a few points before I finally figured it out as well...
Also, if you go into Settings>Language & keyboards>Swype settings>Word suggestion and uncheck Auto-correction, it won't use the word it thinks you want in lieu of the word you typed when you hit the space key (which drove me crazy until I changed that setting).

I'm not seeing any lag with a non-overclocked NC.
Heck, it works beautifully on my Nook Color (7.0.2) and my HeroC
I was having constant lockups running CM7. I started uninstalling apps that were running services. When I uninstalled Swype, the lockups mostly stopped. I don't know if this was a coincidence. Anyone else experience lockups with Swype on CM7?
No lockups here and +1 for being super happy to have Swype on the NC. I had experimented enough to be able to hook up a usb keyboard and it worked, but it was a bit awkward using it. So I was looking for a small BT keyboard and then Swype sent me THE email. Very pleased and finally feel like my NC is all that it needs to be for my uses.
I feel very stupid, but where in the heck can I down load swype??? I go to the link but don't see a DL.
Thanks for your help

I've used the T9 keyboard since I bought my NOKIA 3210 back in the last century...LOL My fingers are too big for the tiny keyboard.. Only part of the upgrade that was not good if you ask. I think I might buy one from playstore, since I can't seem to get used to the full keyboard... Hopefully somone in here might do some magic
Nice to see I am not alone ? Have you tried any of keyboards from market and did you find any of them usefull? I tried couple and I did not find anything I like ?. Yes, that is only thing I find not good. I don't like typing any more on my phone?
You can try to push the apk of the keyboard of sense 5, but you can have issue and, maybe, a flash of rom.

Thank you for contacting HTC.
Kindly note that unfortunately we have no information on why was the T9 keyboard deleted from the phone after the last update, however I can assure you that it is not a problem of your phone but an HTC decision to take that option out.
What we can do, is to send your complaint to HTC as a comment/suggestion for T9 layout to be added back as one of the keyboard options. It is possible that HTC will add it back if we get a certain number of those suggestions on our Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as through our e-mail support. Until then, you can only try to download a third party application that supports T9 layout.
If you have any other inquiries, don't hesitate to contact us again.
For further details, please note that you can contact us via support line or via email following the below link: https://support.htc.com/en
Thank you for using HTC products.

T9 keyboard 5.5 sense
Hey !!! About time !!!
I am not the only person in existence who has flashed several Roms only to realise ALL sense 5.5 Roms have NO T9 keyboard !!
Can someone PLEASE let us have the sense 5.0 T9 apk, ppplllleeeaaasssseee !!

I've attached the sense 5.0 version of the keyboard. If someone could edit the package name, or whatever you need to install this alongside the sense 5.5 keyboard, that would be nice.
I tried editing this with VTS but I couldn't get it to compile.
I hope that someone could make this (upload Sense 5.0) keyboard as apk and we would be able to download without rooting and custom ROM...
Thank you guys for trying. I hope someone here who is very, very familliar with those things can make just an apk to download to HTC.
Thanks.
I really miss the T9 keyboard as well! Can't understand why they would remove it?!
I'm so glad I didn't get the update yet, and I'm definitely not updating so long as there isn't a Phone Pad keyboard layout.
What a retarded decision to remove it. Hope they "decide" to put it back in.

I have to send in my phone to replace the camera and asked them (my service provider) if they could downgrade my phone as well. They couldn't promise anything though.
HTC said that they are sorry but I have to get used to not having T9. Which pisses me off. I bought the phone because I'm used to sense, it's T9 keyboard and everything HTC has done.

I've tried to create an apk of the sense 5 keyboard that can be installed alongside the 5.5 keyboard, but I can't get it to install on my stock rom. I've never done stuff like this before, but someone has to! Atleast I got it to compile...
Maybe it'll work on custom roms? If anyone wants to test it, feel free to do so!
Edit: Feels like I've been poking around and changing everything by now and I still can't get it to install properly on my phone. Where are the experts?
Might be worth you all moving into the 21st Century instead?
Seriously, though, why on earth would you use a T9 keyboard when swiping is SO much easier? Not flaming, I'm honestly curious

Swiping is a pain in the rear and it's way too easy to make mistakes imho. I have compared my typing speed with friends and all of them are slower with whatever input method they are using, so I guess I want T9 because I'm good at it and it works!
I'd like to hear about any news concerning this as well...
I've tried "Smart keyboard" and "Perfect keyboard" they all got the T9 option, but they're all not as good as the one from HTC.

However, i agree with EddyOS
Not for flaming, but T9 is so old, and, probably, htc will re-add it with a new update.
And, i'm fastest with a qwerty keyboard with and without keyboard respect T9, this depends from user/user
