What do you think about it? Is this is a really revolution?

I think this phone looks very nice with a stunning UI. The technical specs are nothing special, but this could be quite a hit i think.

thats a savage ass phone, you kno what would be sick tho if you could change the color of all the LED's on it two from blue to like purple or something. It's linux it should be fully customizable like that

I love the look of this phone. Very appealing. I will be interested in seeing more about it.

This would be the perfect MP3 Player. But for a smartphone, I do not know if it will offer the extreme flexibility of any of the four TRUE smart phones: Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, Android.
Does this phone have a file system, etc? Also, does Palm Pre and Palm Pixi have a file system and file manager too?
But I've seen this phone before, and I was excited, and still am.
I just don't expect it to be smart-centric. I expect it to be more like a Zune HD experience with some "quasi-smart" features like on the iPhone.
Original Poster, I think you should compile links on the first post and make this the official ELSE anticipation and discussion thread.

But there are a few things I would like to know more about this phone.
*Judging by the Flash Videos, the keyboard on the phone sucks (but there are some pretty cool features). But the reason why it sucks is mainly due to the layout and size of the keys both in portrait and qwerty.
*I haven't seen any file manager. Will it be on this phone, and how complex is it?
*Speaker quality?

He was talking about the buttons being on the right side of the phone. Easier for us left-handers to use. I don't think you can change hardware location in settings

Use it upside down maybe!! too bad for you!! Does look interesting, but not entirely better than tab bars and such.. it does have that added sliding left feature and I guess it being capacative would not require much tension from the thumb. I am always up for new technology to push the limits.

Wow, maybe the device will not only have rotate orientation buy also flip orientation. That would be awesome!

It's all going to come down to how they market this phone. It looks great and definitely has appeal to those of us with a technical background and who love customization. But what carrier will they market it to? Can it be customized to settings that people find interesting such as led colors, programs, etc? and the biggest one: WHO will they allow to carry the operating system. Getting google to back this would be great, getting Nokia to make a phone able to support this would be great, but which one will have the advertising budget to challenge Apple and the like to the duel that will occur when this and the next generation of iphones is released? A small company like Access is going to have a really hard time trying to compete with Motorola, Nokia, Google, Samsung and Apple especially.

I'm sorry for reviving a dead thread, but does anybody know the name of this phone and the maker? I think the phone failed to launch and the maker went out of business and that's making it hard for me to find any information on this. A name should help, thanks.

The Linux based smartphone have actually been out for awhile. I think (Don't hold me to word on this) there is one called tuxphone. But I'm not sure if that's Linux based when I think back on it...

The most thing about Android that is Linux based is it's kernel but a lot of it is actually Java, especially the apps.

Modded HTC IME keyboard

i had this keyboard on 2.1 but kinda forgot about when i went to 2.2. its a nice keyboard and im sure some of you already have it but for those who dont, im attaching the 2 apk's for this. one is the keyboard and one is the calibrator. you can push these to data/app or just copy to sd card and install with root explorer, astro, etc. install the keyboard first, then the calibrator tool.

Yay! Confirmed haptic feedback that works! Just don't understand why this one works and the aosp keyboard doesn't

Thanks works great

Thank you so much for this. I've been using the stock 2.2 Android keyboard and it had some small annoyances this eliminates. Thanks again!

I was doing some more forum lurking, trying to figure out what makes this keyboard vibrate on keypress unlike it's AOSP counterpart, and I came across this: http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/
Let's you custom theme your HTC_IME keyboard anyway you want. I just cloned the Cyanogen mod keyboard cause it was all black with a fairly dark lettering color so it doesn't light up my face at night causing temporary blindness. I had to make a custom space bar image cause I didn't want the one used in the preset one. I attached the .apk to this post.
Edit: Attached are some screenshots.

Does multitouch work? The HTC_IME I'm using on Froyo has bad multitouch so letters are often left behind, even if multitouch works it sucks. Is this any better?

I don't know if its just a case of the grass being greener oan the other side but I don't understand the desire to add this key board. I find the samsung keyboard to be supoirior to this. With a few quirks. And the droid x to be slightly better but over rated. I find it easiest to type on the Samsung multi touch. But the lack of caps lock is annoying. Maybe that will be fixed in the official froyo. I use swype when I hold the phone with one hand but typing with both hands I need a proper multi touch.

I am trying to use Astro File Manager to open HTC_IME_hi22.apk and it says "Could not open /sdcard/HTC_IME_hi22.apk as APK file.
I am rooted, and used rafter109's OCD De-Cripple function to enable sideloading.
Any help would be appreciated.

More of a preference. I got used to the HTC keyboard and it's quirks and how it works, and I like it. The Samsung keyboard is good, and the Android one is downright annoying at times, but this one I LOVE.

Gingerbread keyboard for DHD - 3-01-2011 update.

Gingerbread keyboard for DHD, work with latest 1.72 update.
Gingerbread theme:
Basic theme:
Stone normal theme:
Stone bold theme:
You can run a new keyboard a few simple steps:
1: Go to the Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Keyboard for Android and mark this.
2: We go to the Message -> Compose message -> touch and keep your finger on the text entry field for about 3 seconds and release, you should see a window with the ability to change input methods. Click on the input method and select Keyboard Android.
I was looking for long time working keyboard on my DHD with 1.72 update so I decided to put the QR Code for market. This keyboard work fine on my DHD.

only one problem.. the keys are tiny.. i read something somewhere about adjusting the pixel density to cure this, and that this cure wouldnt survive a reboot.. would that still be applicable here? (that gingerbread keyboard wouldnt work an sense roms) and if so how exactly could that be done?

Keyboard very beautiful, also if very small

Thanks, fun to try. A little bit small buttons, and a waste of time in Norwegian

In market is now available the latest version. You can change the skin, but is still a little too small...
search on market:
Keyboard from Android 2.3 +

Would appreciate if there is other download link. Cannot really use Megaupload from Singapore.
Edit: Somehow managed to get it downloaded. Looks weird and hard to type for me. However, heads up for the effort.

Here are some screenshots of Keyboard from Android 2.3 from Steven Lin. It's available on the market and he seems to have fixed the small keys issue for us desire hd and desire z users

yep installed it and its pretty dam nice

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..teihoata .now is big.

It force closes on my DHD any idea why?

For me keyboard with broken, too small keys is the best option. Desire HD has so big screen that normal keyboard is to big to write fast. So I was very happy that keyboard from this thread is so small. I can now write faster and keyboard is not taking half of the screen.
So... I, personally, prefer to not update keyboard via market.
Maybe it is possible to add option to choose size of the keyboard?
Second question: is it possible to add Polish dictionary?

thank you... Desire HD

thank you SO much, been looking forward to this keyboard for quite a bit now.. hate the frecking sense keyboard

Ok after using the keyboard for a while.. it tends to lag a bit with vibration on. The vibration happens a little delayed sometimes. I'm talking about the one in the market btw, not the one posted by op.

so far so good with this beta. Used it for about 45min with no issues. would like to see copy/paste embedded. Although when tryin to dl a file it wouldn't connect to receive it via dcc send.

Installed on my Xoom. Works well, would like to be able to see the list of people in the channel on the right hand side when in landscape mode instead of in its own window. Will live without that feature Will report any specific bugs that I can see, none so far.

My initial impression was it's beautiful. Will use for a while and report back. Great job

The view used to display the text (TextView) doesn't support c&p which is a huge shame. DCC support isn't implemented AndChat.

I downloaded the android SDK a while back so I updated it and started looking into the new API and stuff. The framework you are talking about to put the people list on the side doesn't sound too scary

I've had a look at some example code and you're right, it isn't too bad. I will work to make it even more compatible with Honeycomb in the future.

Been using for a few days and has been working flawlessly. I would like to see an option to have users in the channel on the right side like PC programs. there is enough screen width to do this without sacrificing the chat.
Also it might be me but I could not find a way to auto login to a channel.

User list looks good. Can we adjust the font in a future release and also long pressing on a name would ideally bring up options such as ban kick op msg etc. Nice work so far!

I'm new to AndChat and it's quickly becoming my favorite IRC client. How does one auto-join multiple channels on that one-liner? Do we separate by commas or just space? I currently use the auto execute line and add /join for each channel.

Looks nice hopefully we can move the list to the left on final release.

Hmm an option for left or right then ;-)

so i can use stock keyboard and another person using ICS keyboard without problems

ICS Keyboard is the good one

i prefer ICS keyboard instead of stock keyboard, can add the swype keyboard if possible.

None of those?
Swype all the way dude.
This is a no brainer, really. You don't really lose anything from any stock keyboard by using swype. Screen peckers can carry on pecking at their screens and swypers can carry on with swyping happiness.
Swype even has great auto correct (same if not best than stock keyboards) and word suggestion to whoever dislikes swyping.

I realized his rom relies heavily on cutting off stuff that waste ram. I remembered he could be leaving swype out because of that. So i went in and tested.
Swype is using 16Mb of ram
ICS keyboard from onecosmic is using 15Mb.
Granted, one can still argue it's more 1Mb and every single one of them count. While that's true, 1 extra Mb is a great tradeoff for swype goodness imo
Now, i'm not sure if the system itself really needs some stock keyboard to be available even if not used by the user. I remember reading that somewhere but i'm not even sure if it was related to anything SGS.
