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.

Does Haptic Feedback (vibrates after tapping a key) actually work on this when using 2.2?

this is great! at first i thought i installed it by using android sideload wonder machine (i know idiot me lol) and no go so i just did what the directions were and just copied to sd and installed via astro and it worked! but yea weird how it doesnt work on aosp keyboard...

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.

Updated Swype Beta

Has anyone been able to get the most updated version of Swype on work on the N1? I'm talking about the version with the button for voice command.

Yeah running it here. Big improvement.

I tried to install the update and it says that it's not optimized on my device. It won't swype at all. It only works as a normal keyboard.

I read the Swype forum and apparently you have to wait till a screen pops up and click enable. I was clicking back once it finished installing, so the license didnt' download.

Well I tried it again and this time it works awesome! Faster then ever, no notice in accuracy but I'm a swype ninja and that voice icon looks great in my corner he is mine and I shall call him mike

Yeah I'm addicted to swype but hate their "sell it as hardware" business model and makes me really wish something better would come along because I will not buy a specific phone for swype because anything I pick won't get it, N1, G2 or the upcoming NS. Just sell the **** in market, even if it's $20, I'd rather pay the $20 to load it on whatever Android device I choose. It's all good for me being in the beta but I know it sucks for the rest of the world.

it only works fine for the first few days.
Now it sucks again ... just the same as September beta. Still can't delete words scraped from your address book, if you have 3K contacts with every name the world has ever known in every language, that sux.

For those wishing to get on the Swype Beta list the URL is https://beta.swype.com/android/create/.
I signed up when the registration period had ended and was able to get it some time in January. Hope this helps someone.

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.

[App] Hacker's Keyboard by kwx

If you're interested in a different approach, try my just-released Hacker's Keyboard and let me know what you think. I've tried to stay as close as possible to a standard PC layout, it has 5 rows including numbers and punctuation in the usual places, plus Esc/Ctrl/Alt for ConnectBot. It's based on the Gingerbread keyboard, so it has multitouch support and voice input.

Nicely done! Always wanted thr numbers up top. This works great and should be on XDA's front page.

Can you give me more detail how it's showing as unavailable? Is that in the Market web interface, or the Market application? I've just confirmed that it updated to v1.10 normally on my Xoom using the Market app.
What's your system language set to? I was changing localization settings and removing not-really-supported languages in the v1.9 update, but according to the documentation that shouldn't affect eligibility to install it.

Holy crap. This is exactly what I am looking for... and open source no less! Do you accept donations?
I'm going to try this out right now.
Thank you so much!

Hmm, looking again, maybe this isn't open source. Are there any plans to release it as an open source project?

This keyboard is awesome.
Having the numbers always available, along with the ability to resize it has made my keyboard landscape mode much more enjoyable.

Yes, it's going to be open source, I just need to clean up a few things before release. Should be in a few days, I'm just currently busy chasing after bugs.
No donations needed, feel free to buy somebody else's app to support your friendly neighborhood developers if you want to make a contribution

+1.
I can't be sure if it'd be even better, but I'm inclined to think the leftmost keys would be even more comfortable in the following order from top to bottom:
ESC
~
TAB
SHIFT
CTRL
Or maybe even switch ESC and ~ for more spacing on the more frequently used esc key:
~
ESC
TAB
SHIFT
CTRL

Looks good, any chance of a UK style version or option so we have £ sign there and @ swapped with " ?

Rolling another green android as we speak.

I am definitely addicted to Android since discovering MIUI.us 2.2.3. Take the best features of IOS, add to it the best features of Android, throw in a liberal dose of nuance, style and flair and you have the perfect ROM.
I never thought i'd be saying this but it really is an order of magnitude better than Cyanogenmod. The infamous Android lag is all but gone! The N1 touchscreen wonks..gone! It's like i died and woke up in smartphone heaven. Most of the apps i used to use i don't need any more. Decent File Browser? Check. Decent Browser? Check. Decent SMS/Dialer/Alarm? Check!
What i don't need in a ROM are a hundred features that i have to turn off because i don't use them. What i do need in a ROM are core features that just work well. Consider me converted!
I seriously wouldn't trade my two year old phone for anything on the market right now, not even if it were free. Not a chance!

It depend on which touchwiz. Touchwiz 4 is actually optimized for the phone it is on. That's why it never lags. But touchwiz 3 is a complete different story.

Yeah you're right, but i just don't like it in the same way i don't like Sense. It's just too much

I'm hooked on IceCremeSandwich's with no-sense!

pure curiosity
first, i have the android phone, then switch to iOS then at now, android again feeling to be more comfy with android (though iOS still rocks on perf and display)
but guess, loving now android coz to put my dev-inside

MIUI.us is working out so well for me. I have apps that never worked well on CM7 that are working perfectly now. The famous N1 touchscreen wonk has disappeared completely, (which is a miracle in itself), and not only are the stock apps better than AOSP, (Gallery, you know i'm talking about you), but they're better than the usual replacements. (Sorry, Quickpic).
A big plus is a beautiful U.I that is consistent throughout the software and on par with IOS. It's like somebody read my mind and made a bespoke ROM for me! It's all the little touches too. The nice animations, the way the music fades out when you pause it, (not to mention Lyrics support and a pretty visualisation), options for re-ordering Bookmarks in the Browser, a good Notes app, in built backup for apps, system and theme. It's incredibly fast and smooth too. Without the OC i had in CM7 it actually performs better!
Pics for the uninitiated:
How about a stock Data usage app, or a Firewall:
How good is that?

I love my android phone...
Still my first (galaxy mini), but i hope my next one will be better...
