Just bought this bluetooth keyboard from Amazon. It looks great, but I can't get it to work. It pairs fine, but nothing happens when I try to type with it. Works flawlessly with my HTC One, so I'm guessing this is a nook issue (100% stock btw).
Any suggestions?

I have the same keyboard and had the same problems until apple keyboard support was added in cm-10.1-20130712-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip.

Thanks for the info! I was gonna root and install CM sooner or later, guess this is an added incentive.
Just curious, is there a way to manually insert the correct HID profile into the stock ROM?

But I would also like to hear about routing methods since I'm on cm 6.1.1
Any experience with working models?

I believe it'll work for the rooted, but not otherwise; you need some bluetooth tweaks to enable host mode.
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.

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.
Just wanted everyone to know I bought one of the Mac keyboards from bestbuy today and after some setting up its great! Its the perfect size, looks nice and is high quality. Paired it up with the gTab using 0000, then got some files from another post, put them into the right folder with root explorer and set permissions. Got my keyboards mac address, used a script another member wrote and put a shortcut on my home screen to run the script whenever I want to sync the keyboard. Super easy and VERY nice!
highly recomended
any way to do this on the Droid Incredible?
How in any way was the OP relevant to HTC Incredible accessories?
Good question, will this work for dinc2?
On a related note, I will test out a menotex by keyboard tonight.

Hi all!
Typing on the Galaxy is... not optimal.
So I'm looking for a wireless but small keyboard (like this: http://www.meritline.com/acrylic-mini-bluetooth-keyboard-clear---p-47990.aspx) , connection with the SGS should be via BT (or is WLAN better?).
Thanks,
LB

Try over in accessories, try the search button!
If you have means to pack the keyboard with you when you're on the move, I'd recommend a "stowaway bluetooth keyboard", which is one you can fold together.
Yes, I want to take the the keyboard with me, so it shouldn't be too big.
Can you recommend a specific model?

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.

Thumb keyboard!!!

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
