[Q] My favorite keyboard is gone! :'( - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I love docs 1.2 rom. killer23d put it up a while back and i use that one whenever im not satisfied with a new rom. i think i might have found a rom that i like but it doesnt have that awesome keyboard that i am used too. does anyone know how i can take the keyboard off of the 1.2 rom and put it onto any other rom? PLEASE?! thanks!
Does anyone know how i can put the white multi touch keyboard on my sgs and wherebi can download it? Idk how to install via cwm. I tried using
that to install something else and it pretty much messed up my phone and i had to reinstall the rom. Thanks.

Might get some more bites if you listed the name of the keyboard you want.

Grrrr... I forgot which one it was! It was all white. And i rhink it was titled as an android keyboard. Maybe a droid x ordroid 2 keyboard?

Ooops, hit thanks, instead of quote.
By the way, search for 2.3 gingerbread keyboard on these forums. This is very similar to android 2.1 keyboard, only better. I too am a fan of 2.1 android keyboard, well, until i came across the 2.3 keyboard.

I want to use it, but i serously hate HATE that it doesnt vibrate on keypress

I think a small compromise is needed. Try using "better keyboard" to see if that can provide u some temp relief while some dev tries to figure this out.

Droid X Multi-Touch Keyboard

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.
Link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709519
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?

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

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.

[Q]Swype

Has anyone got Swype working? I tried to download the apk for the ascend but it doesn't work, it installs and I can change the input to Swype but when I try to type it does not work. I will try different models and see if I can get it to work.

Figured I would post this here after helping someone on the Zclusive FB page asking about Swype. For those of you who like Swype, but cannot get the beta to work anymore with the ZIO (i had the beta at one point, updated and it wouldn't let me download)
I believe the Zio was promised Swype with 2.2 but it never happened. And sorry ahead of time if it's against some kind of ToS to post link to Apps that aren't necessarily free or paid, but in beta

Downloaded Swype from the link above. Works like a charm on my zio, I am using swype to send this message. I will report any bugs here.

Dude thanks. I have been looking for swype everywhere. It's a little slow but not too annoying. It's faster on my sisters Evo but maybe it's a hardware issue. Or maybe I just have a slow phone.
You can chose to change the way Swype responds in the options

Im an Ultra Keyboard Fanboy, sadly..
Ultra keyboard has swype capabilities (called tracing), that is just as good as swypes, but ultra kbd is so much more customizable than swype. More responsive as well imo.
Give it a shot.
Ya I'll check it out, I'm just getting used to using swype without error, I don't like how I have to choose my words to make it work.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
have been wanting to try swype...but using slideIt and have had zero probs with it...tried a bunch and settled down with it ..the trace works awesome.
Yeah all that is customizable through ultra kbd settings. You trace, then hit space and it will choose the default word. It'll still give you options, but in a horizontal menu, instead of vertical.
Word prediction is stellar as well

How to get the HRC keyboard

I want to get the HTC keyboard on my NS as I am used to it on my Desire HD, I have tried the same file and method as you do with the Nexus One but I always get a force close error when I try to select the new input method.
Am I doing something wrong or do i need a different file to install
http://postkreative.eu/HTC_IME_hi22.apk
i prefer stock keyboard over HTC_IME.. it doesnt have multi touch :\
either that or. http://www.appbrain.com/app/smart-keyboard-pro/net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardpro
Free: http://www.appbrain.com/app/smart-keyboard-trial/net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardtrial

Possibly go find a version for it thats compatible for 2.3.X.
The link I sent you before is 2.2.X but it does work. Most people have moved onto better keyboards because HTC IME is missing the multitouch keyboard feature.
@Borky: Your post doesn't help. The OP already has the keyboard and your keyboard thread hasn't been updated since October. So I doubt its the newer version.
HTC Sense is also not running 2.3.X (yet!) so unless you can port the keyboard from the sense 2.3 leak.... no luck

May I also ask where I can find the HTC handwriting input for Nexus S as well?

The process took less then 2 minutes from registering to downloading - have it now and about to install.
Looks ok.
I think Thumb Keyboard has a lot more functionality (directional keys, readily accessible punctuations, @ symbol, parentheses, .com key with extras [.net, .org, .etc) when longpressed and all other 'tabbed' symbols just require a longpress, too.
Just MHO.
Here are some screen shots just not a big fan of the full screen text input. Would also like split me keyboard in portrait.

haha me too... why would you need this keyboard if you are using it in portrait? wouldn't stock work well enough? just wondering.... but the whole full screen force thing is bad, thumb keyboard does it too by default, but you can override it.

patience grasshopper. they are really fast about it, shouldn't be more than a few minutes. respect developers' wishes. if they wanted it out here they would have posted it here.
Trying it out now, so far I love the look of the app and it has been working great.

It needs some work still, I was on a closed beta (which I think I can admit), and of course, now use the open beta available on the forum.
But despite the issues with sizing and the alternate keys for symbols and stuff, the predictive text is still like the number one need when typing on a tablet, and it is so much more useful than stock. I don't use split mode atm, because of the key sizes, but I'm hoping I'll like that once they get it worked out.

The common theme seems to be the small buttons are an issue. Hopefully they will make th necessary adjustments.
I'm sure they will, it was among the first comments in the closed beta. I'm using standard layout for now.
Also, nobody can deny... SwiftKey's style on the Xoom is freaking awesome.

[Q]Google Voice Typing Location

I am on HTC Vivid. I tried updating to ICS to only realize that it failed. I see the new keyboard for ICS the Google Voice Typing. Does anyone know where that is installed on the device of ICS so i can try to pull it off and use it on my Vivid. would be excellent.
Thank you

I could be wrong but wouldn't it be under system/app?
thats where i was looking but i can't find the name of it
Yeah, see what you mean. All I could find was voice dialer but not the actual keyboard.
well i guess its there somewhere. i will keep digging and post back if i find it before anyone else does thanks for helping

Also, realize you want the google keyboard but swype also offers a beta that has a voice option. Just google swype beta and it will pop up.
Swype is a decent app but I ended up going back to the stock keyboard as it is more functional..some prefer swype I guess..

I have bigger fingers so it makes it hard for me to tap away at the keyboard. I am much faster swyping.
I have big hands also and the dang space bar is the most frustrating thing on the keyboard...always hitting the period instead of space bar...it needs to be wider..

I agree. The keyboard on the Inspire was perfect...and it was .2 inches smaller of a screen and included a directional arrows.
And to answer the original question most of what the OP is asking about I would think would be in HTC_IME.apk
