Hey everyone,
I just downloaded and installed the new multi-touch keyboard from the Droid X on my Captivate via ADB and it works perfectly so far.

I used the 2.1 Eclair version, obviously.
wow I like it better than the HTC one i was using, thanks!
Thank you for posting this. I am going to move it over to the apps section but leave a redirect for a week.
Worked great for me, been using a mix of HTC and Swype but this I was able to type more correctly and faster than with either of them.

I thought the same thing. I was using Swype, but this one is much faster and has the auto-correct.

Sorry, I wasn't sure where to put it. Thinking about it again, it makes sense for it to be in the apps section.

I'm using it now and I love it. Pretty basic, simple keyboard. Is there any other advantage to it other than being able to hold the caps key down though?

I'll check it out but I love swype so far.

Does it have arrow keys? To me that's pretty much a must-have without a trackball or dpad on our device. Thanks!

There are ways to get the arrows with the included keyboards. See the end of this article for more info: http://www.talkandroid.com/7386-galaxy-s-tips-and-tricks-works-captivate-vibrant-etc/
I am looking for HTC keyboard for captivate, can any one please provide the link to download it.
Works perfect thanks

hmm, wouldn't install for some reason.
Would not install
This would not install for me either. When I try it just says Parse Error, there is a problem parsing the package. I'm kinda new to android so I have no idea what this could mean. Anyone else having this problem?
just wish it had the same arrows as the keyboard that comes on the EVO
can anyone explain to me again what the benefit of this is over swype? or stock android keyboard?
Wow, great find!!! This keyboard is better than better keyboard!
Systoxity: You can type crazy fast on it. I couldn't get used to the Swype keyboard, and the android keyboard had me hitting the wrong keys all the time. This one is crazy accurate for me!

Yea, it said that for me too when I first downloaded it directly to the phone. So, I downloaded it to my computer, then moved it over to the sdcard via usb cable then ran it from file manager and it installed fine that way.

Not sure where I found it, but just do a search for HTC_IME from jonasl, he did a hi-res HTC keyboard, its really good.
I went to this link and got the keyboard working on my captivate...looks amazing!

Has anyone tried using this pen with the gtab? Or heard any news about suitabilty.
Also any drawing apps to recommend using sketcher at present but new ideas welcome.

Just tried it on my gtab. Absolute garbage. Incredibly disappointed. Even the sales guy said out didn't work very well on his blackberry.
Just wanted everyone to know I bought one of the Mac keyboards from bestbuy today and after some setting up its great! Its the perfect size, looks nice and is high quality. Paired it up with the gTab using 0000, then got some files from another post, put them into the right folder with root explorer and set permissions. Got my keyboards mac address, used a script another member wrote and put a shortcut on my home screen to run the script whenever I want to sync the keyboard. Super easy and VERY nice!
highly recomended
any way to do this on the Droid Incredible?
How in any way was the OP relevant to HTC Incredible accessories?
Good question, will this work for dinc2?
On a related note, I will test out a menotex by keyboard tonight.

Got the Note today and love this thing especially compared to my Evo. I am trying to figure out if I can use the swype KB along with the pen. I could use the pen with the samsung KB but can I switch from the swype to the pen on the fly? Any help would be really appreciated.
There's an app in the playstore called GMD spen control, it lets you customize pretty much any gesture. I'm not certain but that app may allow you to do what your looking for. But I believe your device has to be rooted.
Sorry I don't have any more info, I'm brand new to the device as well. hopefully someone else will chime in.

No worries. I'll check it out. I am in two minds about rooting this and am not sure yet.
After searching for a best keyboard for our Galaxy Gear. I think this is the best keyboard because it has a t9 keyboard. Qwerty is too small for our gear and I cant type fast on that.
T9 keyboard works better than qwerty. Now I can text through my gear using galaxy gear sms fast

Not to take anything away from your suggestion, but I have one of my own to add to the thread. Check out "Black Bolts Keyboard T9 + Pro". It's free and, after minimal testing, seems to work great on the Gear.

Did you change the DPI or text size to anything particular? I like this one but in SMS Gear texting app, you can't see what your inputting. The top is all used up by the keyboard.
Thread cleaned, time to reset in here, and members are reminded that respect in posts/replies is a rule.
be nice, or get out.

I changed nothing. I noticed that too, just haven't looked into adjusting it yet. Let us know if you come up with a good DPI for it.
