Question: Samsung Galaxy Keypad on the hero?? - Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps

Just wondering, is it possible to get the Samsung Galaxy S I900 keypad onto the Hero?
So replace the HTC IME
I have looked some and tried to push the APK but that was a no go, Maybe there is something like the HTC_MOD or something but then for that keypad.
Thanks in advance for the info

maybe some modding is needed!
Is dat niet zo?

I know but maybe someone has some modded apk out there on his/her drive, you never know untill you ask

You mean swype? If so i have the apk that works on the Hero (can't post links PM me if you want it).

You know that what you're offering is piracy, right?

i didn't think so (they distributed for grabs without any kind of term of use), but if qualifies as piracy disregard my previous post.

Don't think he means Swype, there is an actual GS Keyboard

Why do you want the Galaxy Keyboard?? If you want you can purchase Smart Keyboard PRO (my favourite kb) and there is a skin option that makes it look like the GS kb. My friend with a Captivate doesn't like the regular Galaxy kb since almost every time he goes to hit space he hits period. But then again all keyboards have they quirks, it depends on your fingers I guess...

You can get the TouchPal.apk from the Palm Pre theme in the Dream themes and wallpapers section, just download the theme and pull the 2 .apks that say TouchPal.

no it doesnt...still in beta
As a beta it's ok, but it really needs some changing. there's a .com button buried in there, about 3 or 4 taps in, therefore you could just type it as quickly, hash key is buried away as well, making it annoying for Twitter use, the keys are a bit too small in qwerty, which wouldn't be a problem but for the recognition suggestions being a bit silly.
best thing about it for me is the slide up on a letter for CAPS, slide down for punctuation option. definitely needs a little haptic for that though, if you're not looking directly at what you're typing it'll come out as garbage most of the time.
It's now available in the Market free till Sept. Make sure you install language pack after the main program.
I dont find it on the market.

I just saw it. Go to All Applications, By Date tab, and it's not too far down, but you should see a couple language packs first.
Touch Pal is released in the market today and its free to download until sept 30...this is not the beta version..this version you can now choose the vibrate and sound options on the settings...
Sorry to bring back an old thread but I just upgraded the ROM on my phone and now cannot find TouchPal on the market or on the web. I guess it's no longer in the market? But where is it??
I thought it was equal to the HTC keyboard, but touchpal has the 1-9 on the top row of letters and that is just awesome (gesture down to get the number instead of letter). It was so convenient.
Hi Everybody, I have this Touchpal apk v 1.0 from my Vodafone 845 and it is not working on my G1(Enomther The Official Froyo rom) how can i make it work? thanks....
I think here is a tool that can bring APKs to run. But I do not know how to use it.

If the version is not important, there is a newer version in the Market.

I've tried to repair the APK. The following file works for me.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14910634/signedTouchPal1.0%203.apk
After a while I'll delete the file because I do not know if this is allowed.

[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

Best Keyboard Replacement..

Ok so I basically tried all keyboards that are on the market.. I have swype and slide it as well.. But I find myself going back and forth between all my keyboards and can not get comfortable sticking with one. I use a keyboard for like a week, if that, and switch to another one or search for hopefully a newest one. Its like I can't find one that suits me..
Does anybody have any recommendations on this??
Thanks for your help =)

I find Swype the easiest...Anyway keyboard choice is just everyone's personal preference. Just use one you find comfortable.
I like swype but don't like how you have to go over certain letters twice for a particular word such as; "choosing", "messages", " button", etc...
If I had to pick between SlideIt or Swype, I would have to go with SlideIT.. But I don't like how you have to press the "?123" button for symbols and numbers.
I agree that swype is easier, but I guess I'm jus to picky lol..
swype for me as well. but i saw something about this guy installing the droid x keyboard on his nexus. it has multi touch... i believe he also got the apk somewhere in here.

You don't have to go over them twice. You can just scribble on the letter. Go look at swype hints and tips. They got some really neat things to speed up texting.
But I use swype or better keyboard.

I forgot I was in a Nexus forum. :X I probably need to take my post-happy self back to the Dream. Either way, go look at their tips and tricks. If you can memorize them all and learn to use them out of habit... NO ONE you know without Swype will be able to text faster than you.
AS for built in keyboard, I like it. It has NICE response speed and when every other keyboard lags, it doesn't. Like you said, though, the keys are just too small. :|

... Hahahaha! that made my night, i needed that laugh lmao
i knew the basics of swype and had swype for awhile now and i guess i didnt know about other tricks and what not, thanks for sheadin some light on that.. ill go check them out now.. im sure its on the swype website, so thats where ill look first =]
Again, thanks! i hope i can get used to this swype thing because i find myself thinking where to slide my finger when using slideit and swype.. when i just use a regular keyboard my fingers seem to jus "flow" like its just reaction (if that makes sense).. i know where all the keys are based on memory so i dont think about it when i type, swype on the other hand.. I do lol.
Im sure its just a learning curve.. so when i get frustrated doing swype, ill stick to it and not switch to another keyboard so itll become 2nd nature..
... All in all i appreciate it man, ima go check out the tips now lol
Time to beat that record!! haha.. =]

... I didnt know like 85% of what i just saw about swype!! HOT DAM!
Im really gonna push myself into learning Swype to its full potential now! OMG...
Swype is faster in portrait mode, plus it feels very natural once you're used to it. On the downside, typos are a pain to redo, usually requiring you to retype the whole thing. Plus, there's almost no spellcheck ability.
In landscape, I can type faster with Better Keyboard. I'd wish they'd incorporate the punction in the suggestion bar, but I'm good with press and hold.
I love Swype. I switched to it about a week ago and I can type really fast!!
I was using HTC_IME and I still might be using it if it supported multitouch. I'm waiting for the Droix X keyboard to be ported over, that looks promising.

I haven't yet seen ANY keyboard on my Nexus (2.1, stock, not rooted) work with multitouch.. I use HTC IME that was modified from here to include smileys and a few other things.. Works well for me.
If you looking for a non swype style keyboard, I really like Smart Keyboard Pro. Its my daily driver, although I do also have Swype installed.

[Q] [Request] Live Wallpaper & Keyboard

I realize that Nexus S isn't available for retail sale yet, but when the code becomes available can someone provide the LWP apk seen in all the images of the Nexus S? Also, how about the Gingerbread keyboard apk? Thanks to whomever attempts and/or gets this done.
gingerbread keyboard is already out, searching is your friend.
as far as the LWP, those will take a few weeks after the phone comes out.

It's only possible when people have modded it in a way so that it doesn't need system access because originally it did need root. This means that it is theoretically possible to have the keyboard without root but it would mean that somebody would have to modify it so that it's a standalone app which is unlikely and even if done will take a while.

I know nothing about the inner workings of the Droid X keyboard. I'm assuming they modified it into it's own standalone apk apart from LatinIME if you can install it without root.
the3dman made a nice copy of the wallpaper here .
-Install ninjamorph and go to /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk .
-Replace pyramid_background.png in /drawable-hdpi with the new wallpaper.
-Finish Project
-Select Nexus LWP from Wallpaper Menu
-Profit
Or if you got 99 cents. You can buy NexusKang from the market, and set a custom wallpaper.
Should hold you over until the official one is out.

Swype beta open go!!

Swype is one of the best and most popular keyboard options for Android, available on Galaxy S. Given the fact Nexus S is based on the Galaxy S would Swype be available on that device as well? Still no info here beta*swype*com
I'm curious about this as well. But I'm thinking not. Does anyone know?
No, it won't have Swype. The hardware is Samsung, but the software is all Google. You'll have to get into the beta or get the .apk file somehow.
I had it on my Vibrant, but I'm still signed up to Beta from my Nexus One days...I prefered the Samsung Swype skin though.
Maybe some Samsung Devs will pack & sign a APK file for you guys!?
never tried swype but i'd like it on the NS
Swype was good when it first came out. It's gotten progressively more inaccurate somehow. i.e. pretty standard words are left out of the dictionary, and accuracy for me is way worse than when I was running 2.1 Eclair (stock JFD firmware on my Vibrant).
SWYPE
Tried to install two types of swype hvga and wvga and no luck DARN!
EDIT
WVGA WORKS YAY
Installed via Android Commander
Anyone that is in the beta program can install the official one. I just installed it on mine and it's working perfectly.
+1 for official Swype.

Swype is not to be distributed, per the forum rules, on non-swype devices
Bump.. It would be really awsome if we could have the samsung swype.. Anybody knows what it takes to port ?
*hint* someone posted an apk called SAIDKEYBOARD.apk in a topic called Swype in the Themes & App Section.
But don't take my word for it.

I had signed up for the beta previous to the Nexus S. I got the email for it like a week ago. Downloaded everything legitimately and its awesome.Seriously the past betas have been so buggy, this version blows it out of the water. Its amazing. Using it now...
