Best keyboard for Diamond - TouchPal

TouchPal v3.5 is just released!
http://www.cootek.com/intro.aspx
The new skin fits in diamond pretty well. And, well, use it and I promise you won't go back to diamond stock keyboard anymore.

FULLY agree. Saw new diamond keyboard and though "kewl, cootek got a sale" then realised that HTC version just SUX!! You have to try cootek's to see how much better it is - and I only use the free version!

I use the T9 and for me it sucks because of the pop up to confirm what you type and the buttons are smaller. I have large fingers.. I paid for it and it sucks because i cant use it well.. can i skin it for larger buttons and possibly kill the press/view option. it makes me think i am pressing the wrong key.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going from a physical keyboard to the virtual keyboard on my htc touch diamond and its taking some time to get used to. I've been experimenting with various soft keyboard replacements and touchpal is my favorite so far.
Again thanks!

Oh yeah? Have you ever tried TouchPal? The input speed you can reach with it, is really amazing and the buttons are MUCH larger than the HTC full qwerty's.

touchpal 3.5 for sure.....does the supplied keyboard save passwords? or does it do multilanguages? Can you resize it? I really dont know, ive used touchpal 3.5 for a while. I love it.

yup Touch pal is bar far the best, i use it on full qwerty with my chunky electricians fingers and it works fine

Anyone use Touchpal with Gsen so you have landscape mode for the keyboard? Find that easier to type on?

Was a stupid joke
You have a link or something else?

Just started using TouchPal. Its excellent for me.
I would also like to use it in landscape mode, but its not so good. Anyone looked into this?
Thanks

I just compared the two and the TouchPal buttons are way smaller than the Diamond's built in SIP.

Default onscreen keypad

I'm starting to get a little bored of how bad the onscreen keypads are on the Kaiser. Is it possible to use the keypads from some of the later HTC models such as the Diamond, Touch HD or Touch Pro?

Resco Keyboard. Ive used it for months and it doesnt get boring!!!

I've tried a few and the nicest I've found is actually the Diamond one which you can get here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392197
Careful though. It looks like it doesn't uninstall well...

A very nice freeware keyboard is pocketCM Keyboard which is also skinable:

Whichever you choose, you'll probably want an use the app attached to stop your phone going back to the default keyboard every time you soft-reset

SPB Keyboard.
a nice qwerty and full screen keyboard.
but no phone pad like layout.

this is one i already had but didnt realise it had been updated! i have downloaded a new qwerty skin but unfortunately it doesn't have the feature of making a key click noise after i press a key.

I have TouchResponse installed, so the device vibrates every time you touch the screen (Haptic feedback).
Personally I have used Resco Keyboard which is great, but now I have SPB Keyboard which is by far the best and it has many skins available. It can also click if you want.

[Q] T9 Predictive keyboard for 2.3 Gingerbread?

I've always been used to the T9 predictive text of the symbian phones but I just can't find anything that works just as well. The closest I've got is 'Black Bolts' but it is very laggy and doesn't seem to use the inbuilt dictionary. I cannot get 'better keyboard' to work on gingerbread and I can't use the swype type keyboards. Can anyone suggest anything?
Regards
Steve

Try Swiftkey Keyboard. I found it great. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

search for "htc ime" - it's a port of the htc keyboard and works perfect.

Swiftkey FTW.

HTC IME doesn't work on Nook Color

I've used HTC IME for ages on my phones and haven't found a keyboard I like better. But I can't get it to work properly on my Nook Color. I tried both the high and low resolution version, but both are too small and don't fill up the side to side when you use it in portrait mode.
Anybody that knows how to get HTC IME to work properly on the nook?

I too liked the HTC IME until I tried, well, several different keyboards.... It's really not that good, just better than stock 2.1.
Each keyboard I tried was incrementally better. Swiftkey X is my current favourite keyboard, been using it for about 6 months now.

For tap type keyboards I can't really grow to like any but the HTC keyboard on my EVO, but I'm a Swype person. For my Nook I chose to use Thumb Keyboard because I can choose how best to use all this screen real estate.
Sorry I don't have an actual solution to your issue.
edit: I just happened to discover the HTC keyboard that comes with 3.5 has a Swype like function I am perfectly ok with this.

I'm actually using swiftkey now, and I was surprised how similar it is to to HTC IME. But I still miss how you could customize HTC IME however you wanted. On swiftkey for example, it annoys me to no end that you can't use landscape without ending up in a fullscreen window(you don't see the UI of the browser of whatever app you're in, but just a white screen). In HTC IME you could change that setting.

I never had a HTC phone, but if the keyboards are as good as HTC IME(I guess it's based on some HTC keyboard...) then they must be good. Thumb keyboard looked interesting.
Although there is a similar setting in swiftkey if you have the tablet version.
