looks very crisp and clean. i'll check it out.
New Honecomb theme added!
Wishlist: the ability to change the time required for a long press. The default is set about twice as long as I like it.
Bug: The caps lock entry triggers as long as long as the shift key is pressed twice within a fairly long period, whether or not any other keys are pressed in between. The result is that typing two capital letters quickly results in an accidental caps lock afterwards. Caps lock should only trigger if the shift key is tapped twice in a row.
Thanks!

Great idea to make the long press variable. Have to look if this is possible (should be)

Never thought about the scenario you described. You must type awefully fast with this keyboard But thanks for noticing this. I either will change the way the caps log is activated or make the time between the two taps user configurable (have to work on the shift key anyway when I'm going to implement multitouch)
Great feedback. Thanks!
Happy user - paid version. Must have for Dell Streak 5.
not special for phone one.

Keys for the phone layout are 1.25 times wider. Forgot to mention that.
i dunno if it's obvious to everyone else, but even the "standard phone" keyboard layout has ARROW keys in the bottom row of the keyboard. i found this accidentally since i didn't see it shown in any of the screenshots.
i find that it's much easier to edit text using arrow keys than the "magnifying glass" on my Droid X. you can adjust the height of the arrow key row (and the spacebar key row) independently of the regular keys too. truly awesome keyboard!
Hello, I downloaded the paid version onto a non-rooted G-Tablet and while the new keyboard shows up in the keyboard select menu in settings, when I click on it nothing happens and when I long press on an application keyboard area only the TapNTap keyboard is available the Thumb keyboard is not listed. Any ideas or suggestions? I love the keyboard!
Can you add Russian Language please? Such a great keyboard will be very popular amoung russian speaking men.

Yes, I'm working on it. First I have to roll out updates with some new but basic features. This weekend I will add voice recognition to the keyboard.

Sorry I don't know exactly how the gtab is handling third party keyboards. I believe, but I'm not sure, that you have to copy the apk to the system/app directory like it is done on the Nook Color. Check the gtab forums how one can install a third party keyboard.

Sadly I learned today that SwiftKey also copied this function in their new beta. At exact the same way (including the option to hide the keys)
The situation is becoming unworkable. First they copied the tablet layout and now this. I'm currently finding myself asking if I can add other innovations I had in mind.
A shame for such a big moneymaker. They just ruin the market. This really sucks!! I wrote them a letter asking to solve this in a fair way, because I just feel paralized when it comes to adding new functions.

yes, there are numerous examples of this behavior in the Market and i agree it is a real problem. Google needs to address this or it will result in stifled innovation and reduced quality of applications available for android. real innovation is hard work - why should a developer be motivated to create new and exciting applications when anyone else can replicate the idea without consequence?

It's the free market. It can drive companies to excel. In the end this seems only theoretical. What I learn is that marketing is a much better investment in such a market. That's the weird tragedy of the western free market.

I'm not quite sure about the GTab, but I know when I install a keyboard I sometimes have to go into
Menu > Settings > Language & Keyboard
and then click the check box, then go to an application where I can type and do the long press to switch the standard keyboard over to the one I would like.
Hope that may be able to help you out. If not, and you figure it out, please don't hesitate to post your solution for anyone else that may encounter this problem.
Update (v 3.0)
Voice Input added for Android 2.2+ (currently only English supported)

+ some general maintenance
Much more to come
V3.01 on Droid X with stock Android 2.2.1: has anyone else noticed a bit of a delay in the cursor movement when pressing the arrow keys in LANDSCAPE mode? i notice this when using Table Layout in landscape mode (5" and 7") but not when using any of the layouts in PORTRAIT mode. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling but saw no improvement. just curious if it's just me...

As far as I can see, there's nothing changed in the update that could influence this behavior. Have you tried to reboot the device? I think it's a temporary memory problem.

Your name goes in Start-->Settings-->Personal (Tab)-->Owner Information
Owner name is a standard way of generating registration keys.
Also, I don't think we need a keygen for a $4.99 app. Eat one less Big Mac this week and support the developer. That said, has anyone gotten the accelerometer based scrolling to work? I've tried tapping, double-tapping, tapping and holding, double tapping and holding, etc on both the center (enter) button as well as on the Nav circle around the perimeter (the wording in the usage guide was somewhat vague) and nothing seems to work. Anybody got this to work? The other functions seem to be working OK, if not 100% reliably.
this is the iphones fault
a simple program like this would never have been charged for
then the iphones damn app store comes along and every program wants money now :/

I got it to work no problems, just double tap the center button(don't depress it, just touch) and you'll feel a short vibration to let you know its enabled. Its pretty awesome to just put a slight angle on phone and be able to flip through photos, emails, music etc right from home screen without pushing buttons, just see them flipping through until you hold phone flat to stop. I really like the app launcher as well. A well spent 5 bucks.

Well, I could decompile the program. But then again I could purchase the program for 5.00 and support the developers hard work.
I think ill purchase it. LIKE YOU SHOULD DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't really like the scroll feature as i use ftouchsl but I like having 4 extra buttons. so i might buy it also going to test it a little bit first
the 4 buttons does seem nice
one for start
one for file explorer and a surprise for the other 2 i guess
the app is well worth the 5 bucks.
been using it for a couple of days and already i love it

I don't think the tilt scrolling is good for using in apps either, but it is a neat feature for scrolling through media. And plus you can disable/enable it without opening options, so its easy to turn on/off. I find the touchpad easier for a lot of the scrolling than actually using touchscreen though.

I wonder if something I have installed is conflicting with GScroll, because the tilt scrolling absolutely, positively won't work for me. I'm not depressing the physical button, just touching the capacitive face, so unfortunately that's not the issue. The only thing I can think of that could be conflicting is the SmartTouch scroll wheel functionality, but that is built into everyone's ROM from the factory. I've added a few additional programs to use with SmartTouch (through Schaps Advanced Config), but since the base functionality is already built in I wouldn't think it would be an issue. Anybody else have trouble getting it to work?
Some of the programs features are a bit useless (like the swipe to send arrow keys...isn't it just easier to push the actual arrow key that your finger is right next to anyway?), but a lot of the features are great. The four extra mappable buttons are awesome to have for these phones. The swipe to scroll is also a bit easier than reaching up on the screen for a scroll bar. If only this stupid tilt scrolling would work. I probably wouldn't even use it that much, but now I have to get it working, lol. All in all, I'm glad I paid 5 bucks if for nothing else than the four extra mappable keys. Although I really thought someone at XDA would have already made a freeware release, 4.99 is such a reasonable price why not buy it.
[Edit: A reinstall of the program fixed my issues. Tilt scrolling is working, and I can now go on happily not using it ]

Not really.. even if you tilt more it doesn't accelerate (as you would keep pressing a navigation key).
Some suggestions for the developer:
- tilt acceleration, if we tilt more the device the scrolling/navigation speed should accelerate
- an option to chose one of the following (for d-pad navigation):
tap & drag to a direction (eg: tap top, drag down => will keep scrolling/send navigation keep till I get my finger off from touch area. very useful when we need to scroll something large. the same as tilt acceleration suggestion, if we keep the finger on the touch area it will actually accelerate the scrolling, and not sending navigation key with pauses)
simple tap for scrolling/navigation. the touch area should be divided in 4 or 5 zones (one for click/enter key). if we keep the finger on the touch area it will keep scrolling/send navigation key)
- Gscroll is not compatible with all games (for eg: Tomb Raider)
BTW, tilt navigation works for me. Have to tap twice on the sensitive d-pad area (center circle). It vibrates when the tilt navigation is enable. Taping the capacitive area will disable the tilt navigation.
One bug found, touch shot doesn't work in Camera application if GScroll is active
Wow, now that I have the tilt scrolling working I actually really like it. I can see what others are saying about it not being particularly useful in long lists (file explorer, etc), but using the smart select mode in TF3D is AWESOME. Anybody that loved the teaser videos for schaps' TouchXperience ROMs will find that GScroll gives you a lot of those cool abilities to flick (tilt) your way through the entire TF3D menu. Flicking through songs, contacts, pictures, text messages, etc is really cool!
My main complaint now is just that the double-tap recognition is not 100% accurate. I think just holding the center button would be a better means of activating tilt scrolling. Then just release it when you want to stop. I wonder how hard that would be to change.
Has anyone contacted the developer? Has he/she been responsive?
Put in your vote guys! I mean i can't decide. :| But there are major differences. I'll list em
TouchPal:
Compact qwerty in landscape!
Prediction is better than rest
Skin is fit with the rest
FingerKeyboard:
Skins are awesome
Spacebar is huge
Customizable
EzInput v2:
uhh lol
Works best with xT9 (Although I have gotten fingerkeyboard to work with xT9, but it doesn't really matter if you don't use Compact Qwerty). Yes there is a compact qwerty for ezinput 2
EDIT: Added screenshots. A review and rating for TouchPal and FingerKeyboard. The .zips attached contain all the screenshots of that SIP. EzInput 2 still won't install properly :|
EDIT 2: My vote goes to FingerKeyboard It is superior to TouchPal being free and all. Guess I won't be buying TouchPal. But I definitely think that FingerKeyboard could improve a little by doing things such as making it easier to navigate between Keyboard > Text > Num Pad/D-Pad. I still think it should have a num pad, d-pad, and a symbols page separately. It might also help if the landscape buttons were on top instead of on the sides so to give the letters more space and make them bigger. I'm sure all this is possible via skinning though. Question is, who's up for it?
EDIT 3: Seems i voted too early. TouchPal is out-doing FingerKeyboard. I mean the skin is nice, but TouchPal is just more functional. Someone tell me how to add words to the dictionary!! :'(

Review: The design was worked to look kinda like ezinput? Although it does have a compact qwerty in landscape, it's not useful for big thumbs I like qwerty in both landscape and portrait. TouchPal's qwerty in landscape has been the best for me so far. Compact is helpful with you're using prediction, which seems better than xT9, but I have yet to find a way to add things into the dictionary :| But the prediction will be pretty damn awesome once I learn how to add words. The ability to just click a key and drag down to get it's other symbol and drag up to get it's capital is pretty damn awesome
Design: 4 / 5
Functionality: 4 / 5
Prediction: 4 / 5 (Until I can figure out how to add words to the dictionary)
Landscape: 4.5 / 5
FingerKeyboard
Review: This is free compared to TouchPal which is not and that is an advantage in itself I love this keyboard as well. It has the biggest space bar out of all of them and it's ability to skin and key map is better than the other two. Although it's second symbol is not accessible like TouchPal, you can define how many ms of holding will allow the second symbol of the key to appear and about 11 of these symbols are changeable via the Config. It would've been nice if all of them were changeable though, but as a bonus, you have a little texting area which has some nifty buttons such as "What's up" and "How are you doing" for quick text responses. I can also change the skin and allow clicking the buttons to either vibrate or make a sound which is nifty to know that it's been clicked. The difference between TouchPal and this is that in TouchPal since it has drag down and up functions, you cannot drag the key elsewhere. But in Fingerkeyboard, if you click a key and you notice it's the wrong letter, you can drag your finger to the other one and it won't click it until you release. It's functionality is far superior to TouchPal's. It allows you to hold the backspace button and you can delete a word and in caps if you do that, it deletes the whole line. Pretty useful so I don't have to go back and delete letter after letter if I accidentally spell something wrong. I have been able to achieve prediction with xT9 Which is awesome, but I don't need it since it's a qwerty keyboard and knowing xT9, it's not that great anyways :| Now the landscape is very similar to TouchPal's. It seems smaller than TouchPal's though and for that reason, it's easier to text in TouchPal's landscape. Although both TouchPal and FingerKeyboard have a number keypad and a d-pad, FingerKeyboard does not have the symbols that TouchPal does separately and FingerKeyboard's d-pad and number keypad is on the same screen.
Design: 5 / 5
Functionality: 4.9 / 5
Prediction: 3 / 5
Landscape: 4 / 5
According to me EzInput is only a backup So no review there. Sorry guys.
I discovered TouchPal recently and it is my favorite right now because I had conflict with FingerKeyboard and disabling XT9 with Windows Mobile 6.5. TouchPal seems to be better in call categories including typing. predicting, work well with cooked ROM. EZinput is abviously my fall back when things are not working out well.

I am and have been using PCM keyboard version .14 (w/ vga skin of course) because I like how the enlarged letter shows up above the when you click (and hold) the button.
Also, I love the autocorrect on it which is based off of the location of the buttons.
The one thing I don't like about PCMkeyboard is that it glitches sometimes and gets stuck. Also the buttons are just a little smaller than I'd like them to be.
Are there any other keyboards that do the autocorrect based on letter placement and the popup of the letter (similar to iPhone) that PCM keyboard does?

FingerKeyboard and TouchPal both popup the letter. TouchPAl has a great autocorrect software and FingerKeyboard can be used with xT9 (which is the default prediction software in the newer htc phones). I would suggest you try out TouchPal.

I was trying not to be fair But I wrote it in the review
sometimes i use fingerkeyboard for longer messages instead of sliding out my keyboard just because fingerkeyboard is that awesome!
FK all the way!
Why Not Giannis86 FK?
not sure you know or just posted original creators on purpose which lacks some functionality but giannis86 updated and modded fingerkeyboard with a 123 button for easy switching between keyboard text and numbers etc. and has arrows. you may want to look into this and do fk a little more justice in its comparison to touchpal
Nothin wrong with EZ input IMO, no need to waste resources on a new keyboard unless you absolutely have to, finger keyboard has to be my favorite otherwise but you know me, I like to have my usage as low as possible... =D
Could you change language with FingerKeyboard? E.g. to danish?
Yes, included in the setup (dan).

Has anyone had the problem in FK where in xt9 you press the suggestion on the left and it restarts TF?
I'm working on a new free split keyboard designed for people who use connectbot or have other full keyboard needs. It's out on the market now. I've heard there are problems on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I'm still waiting for a logcat from someone with a tab to send me a log cat. It currently only supports 1280x (xoom) resolution devices. Any suggestions on changes to the key layout? I'll probably be adding a Dvorak mode soon (the original version had it).
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.doubtech.inputmethod.latin&feature=search_result
This is an early release of a free Holo themed split keyboard. It currently only supports 1280x800 screens (Xoom, Iconia Tab, etc).
Notable Features
* Selectable Themes (Holographic, Gingerbread, Stone)
* Multiple keyboard modes (split, full, and one handed)
* 100% customizable key and key label color combinations. See the "Colorize" options in Theme Settings on the keyboard preference page.
Keyboard Selection Gestures:
* Swipe right or left to toggle keyboards swipes must be pretty large (avoids accidental keyboard changes)
Change Log
Added support for setting key background and label colors.
--
Fixed a bug where keyboard wouldn't reload after a full system reboot.
--
Removed gesture mode in favor of using swipes for switching keyboards. Gestures were preventing some multitouch capabilities from working.
--
Added ability to change keyboard theme (see Keyboard Theme option in preferences).
Rearranged keyboard so space and other functions are farther from the notification bar.
I am trying it out now and its so far better than the tablet keyboard free I was using. I like the predictive text, but it lags a little.
Been checking it out for the last couple hours. Buttons are a little small but I really like the look and function. Great job.
I like it because it flows more with the HC UI and design.
I know it's an early build so I took that into account.
Right off the bat, you can tell that it just LOOKS nice. Functionally, I have only a few issues which don't take away from the effort that the Dev is putting into this.
The keys are a little small so there is more room for making typo's.
The auto-correct needs some more polish.
I use Thumb Keyboard 4 and like the ability to switch between 1 of 3 layouts (Split, Full and One Handed).
There is a bit more wasted space between the key sections which could be used to make the keys slightly larger.
Regardless of those minor issues, I have been using it all day and quite honestly am getting used to it and am liking what I see, a LOT.
I'll keep this installed and updated to keep an eye on what comes out. A lot of promise and if this is a preview of what else this Dev can do, keep an eye on their other stuff!!!
Ok, why do keyboard devs HATE putting a comma key on the main keydoard sceeen? LOL!
Oh, other than the comma thing, when pressing and holding the backspace key, it does the repeat.
Also, when ending a sentence, doing a dounle space, it does not perfoem an auto period.
Does not auto capiltalize the letter i when placed on it's own.
I'm going to keep using it though!!!!!!

The keys are that small so there is little stretching to reach the main keys. I could possibly make this customizable, but that would be down the road (not a simple task).

I use Thumb Keyboard 4 and like the ability to switch between 1 of 3 layouts (Split, Full and One Handed).

What do you think of the layouts on the attached screenshots for one handed mode?
For full I usually just switch to the regular keyboard, but it wouldn't be hard to add a full keyboard mode as well.
I love the look but i would love for:
Fast backspacing (only one at a time right now)
Make the .com and ?123 larger buttons
And possibly make the letter keys a little?diffdrent from number keys as it is a somewhat hard to tell
Put ! On the main keyboard
Other than that amazing!

New Version on Market
I fixed the problem with backspace not repeating.
New Release
I put the latest version on the market. It includes a new full keyboard and a swappable one handed keyboard. You can now swype or use gestures to switch between keyboards. Let me know if there's anything about keyboard layouts that you would like to see changed.
Great work but there needs to be a little change between letters and everything else. The different colors make the stock one easy to use. If you improve your ease of use, you can start charging money( and possibly donating it to your favorite charity?)

Are you thinking possibly a slightly lighter color for numeric characters vs alpha characters or are you requesting a theme more like the stock keyboard altogether?
Ok, love this keyboard with a couple of exceptions :
1) space key is too close to the bottom, I keep touching the home key or the notification bar...
2) I accidentally switched it to full size and I want it split again...I don't even know how I got it to full...
Other than that this is awesome.

There are several ways to switch keyboard modes.
* There is a keyboard button on the bottom row of each keyboard that will switch to the next keyboard mode. If you want a list of keyboard types (Split, One Handed, or Full) you can long press the keyboard key to get a popup menu.
* You can also switch keyboards by swiping to the right or left.
* You can go straight to the split keyboard by drawing a S on the keyboard
Would a lock keyboard mode button help with the accidentally swapping keyboard problem?

New Version on Market
Turns out the last couple revisions didn't get released (goofy new multiapk changes to market publishing).
This version includes:
* Ability to change themes. People who like the gingerbread theme can now switch to it if they go to Keyboard Settings->Keyboard Theme
* There's now space between the spacebar and other core bottom row keys and the notification bar.
* You can disable gestures so you don't accidentally change keyboards or you just don't like gestures. (See "Disable Gestures" in Keyboard Settings)
* You can lock the selected keyboard so you don't accidentally change keyboards. (See "Lock keyboard to selected keyboard?" in Keyboard Settings)
* Colors on space and other control keys have changed in holo mode.

Awesome. That's all I gotta say...

New version out. I changed the gesture method for switching keyboards. Using actual gestures was breaking multitouch features of the keyboard so I switched to using swipe gestures for switching keyboard. This method is also less sensitive so you are less likely to accidentally switch keyboards.
I think I found a bug. Might be the xoom or the rom not sure.
Issue is if I reboot, I lose the setting for this keyboard. I tried to re-enable this keyboard in settings but it was not in the list. I had to uninstall it after trying to clear the cache in applications which didn't work.
Only uninstall/install brought it back.
Anything you would like me to check or test?

Get it from Google Play: External Keyboard Helper Pro
Make your Android device play nice with your non-US external keyboard.
A non visible soft keyboard (Input Method) intended to be used with hardware Bluetooth and USB keyboards. It automaticly detects Bluetooth keyboards (and in some cases also USB keyboards) and brings up the Input Method dialog. It also supports a lot of different keylayouts for non-US external keyboards.
This app does NOT require a rooted device.
Features
International keyboard layouts.
Remaps the Escape key to BACK (optional)
Allows you to control which characters should be threated as combining characters.
A "null" Soft Keyboard to use with hardware keyboards (Bluetooth & USB).
Automaticly brings up Input Method selection dialog when Bluetooth keyboard connects or disconnects.
Automatic detection can also work with USB keyboards on some platforms (experimental)
App that brings up Input Method selection (for easy access)

All layouts are based on standard USB Keyboard layouts. Bluetooth keyboards sometimes do not follow the standard completely but you can customize the layout yourself if it doesn't match perfectly.
Characters that can be threated as combining characters
acute
breve
caron
cedilla
circumflex
diaeresis/umlaut/dialytika
dialytika tonos
dot above/dot below
double acute
grave
ogonek
ring
tilde
tonos
What it does NOT
It won't fix your Bluetooth or USB connected keyboard if it wasn't working in the first place.
It does not automaticly switch Input Method. It only shows the dialog and you will have to choose Input Method manually. This is an intentional limitation built into Android by Google. No app is allowed to change Input Method without user interaction (unless the app is a system app).
Planned features
Support for more keyboard layouts.
DONE!Support for manually remapping keys.
DONE!If requested I may also make it work on Android versions lower than 2.3.
Since yesterday it works with Android 1.6+ and custom remapping feature has been added along with some more predefined layouts and some more combining characters.
A demo version will be created soon.

Sure, the reason why I haven't added it allready is that I'm not sure which one of the 3 different Czech layouts that are the most commonly used.

Czech QWERTY: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/msdn/goglobal/keyboards/kbdcz1.html

The "dot above" dead key (altgr+8) is supposed to generate E I and Z with dot-above according to this layout: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/msdn/goglobal/keyboards/kbdcz.html
Are "dot-above-E" (ėĖ) and "dot-above-I" (İ) really used in the Czech language? It would save me some work if I can skip those two combinations.

Adding it is possible. You can even do it yourself allready with the customize feature if you know all the unicodes needed.
However Hebrew writes from right to left unless I am misinformed and I'm not sure if Android handles that automaticly. You can do some testing with the demo version. You'll find the unicodes here by putting the mouse pointer on each key:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/msdn/goglobal/keyboards/kbdheb.html
Change U+NNNN to 0xNNNN and the codes will work directly in my app.
EDIT: Nevermind. Just tried adding two hebrew characters manually and at least in Android 4.0.4 where I test it automaticly handles this. I'll add Hebrew. You can do it yourself using the customize keymap feature if you do not want to wait.
Wow!
This is great thank you.
I just finished adding the mapping, and i love it.
great product, good job!

- Did previous version work?
- Have you switched to External Keyboard Helper Pro input method?
- Have you enabled a "switch key" in advanced remapping and accidently switched mapping off?
- Is no key remapped at all or is it some specific keys that is not working?
- What device ID does your keyboard show if you use the "debugging" option in "Advanced settings"?
I've noticed that there is a "cracked" version of my app floating around. I honestly don't care if anyone cannot afford $3 to get their $50-$100 dollar keyboard to work correctly but what worries me is that this "cracked" version I found has been modified and resigned. About 30kb (or more) code has been added and I have no idea what the added code does because I have no intention to install that version.
I've added none of Googles Licensing code so there is nothing to "crack" in the app so there should be no reason whatsover for anyone to add about 30kb to the executable.
The site where I found it also offers tons of other "cracked" apps and most likely they have also been modified. Maybe they've "only" added advertisment code to profit from the "cracked" apps but I guess a more likely scenario is that they've added malicious code. If you for some reason choose to download a "cracked" version of an Android app, a "cracked" Input Method is propably the worst possible choice of app to pirate.
I've written a blog post about it with some more information about it.

When correcting words, it eliminates predictions until you start typing again. You also can not delete a couple letters of a word to fix a suffix, it deletes the whole word.
Edit: If you enter an space after a word, you can then go back and delete letter by letter.
Here is a quote from my initial reaction this in the other thread.
driftinganomaly said:
I noticed that if you want to go back to a word to correct it, you have to use your finger to position the cursor. If you backspace to the end of the word, you get no correction options. In fact, as soon as you touch the backspace key, you don't have corrections or predictions until you start to type or curve again. Is this intentional?

I've been using TouchPal now for a couple of days and am loving it so far. I'm still getting used to the wave part.
As for constrictive criticism, I would like to see a better layout for the number pad layout and one thing I would consider a bug is when searching or entering a url into your browser requires that you hit enter twice, I would like to only have to press it once.

I am keeping topics separate. So I am doing a new post for each subject.
Punctuation
It would be nice to have more punctuation available as secondary characters on the main screen. Currently, only one of three rows does not have any secondary characters. I am guessing that it will be added in a future version of the beta.
The punctuation slider seems odd with the two faces in it. I guess that some people may really like that though.
I am liking TouchPal wave so far. I like how after typing a word, the bar on top is for corrections while the words over the letters are next word predictions. This is a great way to solve the problem of whether to show corrections or predictions: by showing both!
---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------
Thank you for being a keyboard that is generally known for being customizable, allowing user created skins and other features. I look forward to the beta maturing enough to include the features again.
I would also like to request that a long press on the shift key switches to caps lock mode just like Swype.

I just noticed that when pressing "." that it automatically adds a space (I turned this on in the settings) which I like, but when entering email addresses in the format of [email protected] after the space is added, I have to hit backspace twice in order to delete the space. Can we make that only once press to delete the space.

So I'm assuming this is different than the TouchPal I was using a couple of years ago on my EVO 4G? I discovered that version in the Chinese app market that was packaged in MIUI and loved it. I also have the current market version of TouchPal on my E4GT and now my S4. Again assume that this "beta" version is something different?

Please consider making the smallest keyboard setting a little bit smaller. On my Note 2, the smallest size for TouchPal Wave seems like the normal size of most other keyboards.
Also, I posted some feedback on the original thread which I'll quote here:
dmuhamma said:
Been using this beta for just under 2 days now and have some feedback:
Wave, like any prediction, needs to learn about the user. After 2 days, it's giving me the words I'm looking for about half the time (much better than right after install without learning from messages or Twitter). The more time is passing, the better it's getting.
A bug that I can't seem to reproduce on demand, but has happened twice in the last 2 days: Sometimes when the keyboard is on screen and the screen times out, when the phone is then unlocked, the keyboard doesn't enter what's typed into the field. The candidate/prediction row shows what word is being typed or predicted, but the word never shows in the actual text field. I have never experienced this with the stable play store version.
Device information: Note 2 SGH-I317M

Very good work guys
First thing I can see is that everything is just a little bit cluttered but not too much.
Secondly thing is the "BB 10" style swiping...it is just not practical to swipe it all the way down to the space bar...most of the time i dont swipe it properly and it becomes some swiped letters on the way down.
Third. Sometimes when in a chat messenger I open the message and start typing, but nothing is actually getting typed.
Once again, thanks very much and good work
Touchpal has to implement edit dictionary option.
sub'd for future feedback...
Been using Touchpal wave for pass few days now and will say that Wave is a nice feature. It will get some use to and for the system to learn and predict your next word. Currently facing problem as other user like couldn't see some suggested words as my fingers are blocking them. Word prediction are quite far off initially with success rate of about 10% but it is getting better as time goes by.
I believe all other features from current V5 will be ported over to the Touchpal Wave once the Beta is over and would like to see features like customizing default symbols on the keyboard.
Thanks Touchpal team.

For one example: I am typing and see a word above a letter that I want save don't make it all of the way to the space bar, then press delete to get rid of the incorrect word, it doesn't give me next word predictions. The words behind my cursor are still the same as they were previously, why doesn't it give me predictions?
What is your basis for claiming that this is intended behavior by TouchPal?

the prediction isn't all that good... and with that secondary keyboard layout being so horrible, i find myself wanting to switch back to the stock keyboard each time i type... i mean, just like you won't change the layout of a keyboard, you should NOT change the layout of the secondary keyboard... all the buttons should be in the proper place... why don't 3rd party keyboards get this?? the extra 3rd keyboard with the smilies is kinda useless and IMO not needed at all... a simple smiley key would suffice... i'm sure there's more points i can bring up... but i'm too tired to type right now lol
