Hello,
I'm currently using MDJ's Gingerbread NAND rom and I was wondering if there was any way to get the desire HD keyboard to work on this ROM, I really miss it...
Thank you

I also run mdj's release n i am also looking for keyboard
up? no one has an answer? not even something like "it's impossible"?
Try to use "better keyboard" app, its free from market i think....
For me its faaaar the best keyboard on android device-the wibe on stock desire hd is too long and has no option of reducing it,and the letters are just too small
Try it and u will not stop texting
are you meaning the one that has qwerty, phone keypad and a couple other keyboards???? if you are its HTC IME MOD and you can google it works wonders i would post it but i don't wanna get in to any trouble.....
Looking for one aswell.
Might this link will work for you
I know this keyboard, it's similar to the Desire keyboard, not desire hd.
But thanks anyway

The keyboard is the only thing I miss from Sense builds, so it's great to have this available!
Enjoy

As I said, I know this keyboard but it's the old one. If I remember right, it doesn't have the arrows, and when you press space and it puts another word instead of the one you typed, then you go back, it won't show the word you first typed. I don't know if you get what I mean, my English isn't that good and even in French it would be difficult for me to say it.
Ok, I guess there is no way! I'd love to know why : )

You're right about the cursor keys (arrow keys) not being there, but the keyboard I linked does show the word you typed, and not the one it replaced it with when you pressed space. Okay, it's not perfect, but it's 50% which is better than 0%
And it's not your English that's not good. That is a hard concept to explain, but I knew what you meant.

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
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.
Some how since backing up my phone and removing the bloatware, I've managed to delete the Android Keyboard.
Is there anyway to redownload this keyboard? I prefer it to the Samsung Keyboard hands down. Or perhaps there is another keyboard you would recommend that I can download via the Market or elsewhere?
Thank you
I like swiftkey...comes a close second to Swype for me.

The swiftkey beta is definitely worth a look. I prefer swype, personally.

So is there no way to get the Android Keyboard back? Even after I restore the backup prior to the bloatware removal, it always seems to disappear. Could I be deleting something causing it to go away?

Thanks SOOOO Much !!! SwiftKey is AMAZING! I used to like the stock android keyboard because it was fast, had good prediction, and was black so more batt efficient.
Swiftkey's prediction is just about two fold better than the stock android. The only things I would change is to add a D-pad when you hit the alt button, and making the keyboard more black to save on batt. (unlikely it will get optimized for SAMOLED screens though)
SlideIt keyboard best of all

I just purchased this today and after trying every other keyboard I can say this one meets all of my needs. Accurate, multi-touch, and good customization all in one.

I second this particular keyboard. I find myself using this on a regular basis.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro and I love it. Great prediction and just has a good feel. I haven't tried the Droid X keyboard yet, I'll try it out.
Swype is great, but my vote also goes to Smart Keyboard Pro. I've tried almost all of them, and this one is a keeper.
For me, it's really hard to choose.
I like the Samsung keyboard because of multitouch and I feel like I can type faster on it, but the autotext is a pain.
The Droid X keyboard is nice especially because of multitouch but it is really stupid when it comes to predicting text..
The stock android keyboard is okay, just no multitouch.
I'd say the Droid X keyboard wold be my pick. I usually use that.
-Just my two cents.
i, too, am loving the DroidX over Swiftkey
I actually love the default Samsung keyboard in 2.2, I just wish I could switch the Period (.) to the other side of the space bar as I tend to hit it half of the time instead of the space bar with my right thumb.
Anybody know of a keyboard that is exactly the same as the default Samsung Keyboard in 2.2 but with those buttons switched?
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.

in my opinion swype is a really good on screen keyboard for phones with smaller, less touch friendly touch screens and/or with no/non fucntioning QWERTY keyboards.
when your phone has a qwerty keyboard, i dont see the purpose of swype unfortunately.

So many apps in market. Go search "Pinyin input" to get them and almost all of these apps are free.
All characters are romanized, alphabet and western symbol can convert to ASCII code, and Chinese characters goes two ASCII codes per character.
We type them in many ways include pinyin/stroke/handwriting and so on. For example, pinyin input method like follows: a combination of some alphabets respect the pronunciation of a character, type the alphabets, then, choose the character you want. That's all
