[Q] HTC Touch Input Keyboard? - Dell Streak 7

I tried installing the htc_ime.apk on the streak and it doesn't work. I tried using astro. Does the tablet have to be rooted first? Does anyone know how to install it?

Ok, It is installed and enabled but when I touch a text field, it force closes the keyboard and I need to choose a different keyboard.

make sure the keyboard is from a device with the same resolution screen or you will get that force close

Ok. Thank you. Guess I'll have to wait until an htc tablet is released.

Well I know my dinc is 800x480. Which is the same as the s7 so no problems therethere

yeah, I will try to grab the apk from my hd2 and try that tomorrow. Havent really messed with anything on the streak yet. Really looking forward to the progress on honeycomb etc. let you know how the keyboard works tomorrow

Are you installing Jonsi's using Gimpstas generator? That's the one that worked on my G1, N1, and Vibrant. I haven't tried on the Streak only because I switched to Smart Keyboard Pro on the market. It's cheap, has all the gestures, pop-up time customizations, and it's actively developed. It also works on the Streak.
Gimpsta's app thread is here http://goo.gl/lmZB

No I'm not. I tried the smart keyboard trial and it was ok.

They're a different resolution, so I don't know that they'd be that helpful. Then again, I don't have the apk so I'm not very helpful, but I'm still here.

This Scrabble app is finally working on our Arias. I tried it when I first got the phone, and it didn't work now it does. It's similar to wordswithfriends just not as polished.

Oh, ok. Thanks
Will try it out, still stings w/o Words W/ Friends support on android. I play it on my ipod touch(which is being used even less now). Patiently waiting for some cross platform support.

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?

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
Sent from my Samsung Captivate
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.

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

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

Like I said, use Smart Keyboard Pro and the HTC skin over it. It's practically the same thing but more accurate and supports multi-touch!
May I also ask where I can find the HTC handwriting input for Nexus S as well?

XOOM light sensor screen lock/unlock

Should of just bought it back then. Anyways if anyone knows of it or a different similar app that uses light sensor info would greatly be appreciated thanks!

I just downloaded that and it seems to work well. One of the default settings disables it in landscape mode, which might be the problem you guys are having. Either deselect that option or try it in portrait mode to see if that works.
I'd still like to find something closer to what is described in the OP. It would be kind of useful to have it just turn on and off when I open and close my case.
Aite I got it to work upon closing sweet now if i can just find one that "aweken" my Xoom upon opening case....

I think you might be talking about Killswitch. It was developed by an xda dev. I tried to use it with my 7 inch tab, but had fcs. However he was very helpful. I haven't tried it with the Xoom, but I think I'll look it up.

Best Keyboard for ics?

Been using swiftkey for over a year and I love it but its laggy in ics. This isn't just a vivid thing either a Google search revealed nexus owners are having lag with it too. It ran fine on my captivate and fine on the vivid before the ics update. Tried several popular android keyboards and most have lag. Any suggestions?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
I use swiftkey once in a while, the paid ver doesn't seem to lag for me, but I just don't like the small letters/fonts on the keys, especially on our qhd screens are even smallaer, there's no opinion to increase them from settings. I now, use the Thumb keyboard, very flexible and many themes.

I have thumb courtesy of foatd from Amazon. Tried it, still kinda slow for my tastes. Found a port of the its keyboard on the market and its very fast. Bought the paid version of it and its noticeably slower so I refunded and went back to the free one

You know you can get swype, yes? Sign up for the "beta" and you're good to go. No need for potentially malicious ports.

In ICS, pressing and holding the input area is not how you change keyboards. That is done using a notification setting that appears wherever you enter a text input field.

Thumb keyboard

I tried thumb keyboard for a whole day eventually just switched back to the ics keyboard I found in the market. Simply just too slow for my tastes. I have to say there has to be something different about the ics framework because all keyboards that were fast with gingerbread are slow on ics. I think right now the problem with ics is just not enough phones have it for developers to care

You can change your keyboard size in settings.
The stock HTC one is very nice and fast but they left out one thing: auto space after prediction selection! Only android keyboard I've ever seen that doesnt auto space
