Hi everyone! I hope I am writing this one in good section.
Could some of you guys tell and have someone noticed that there is no more T9 (Phone) keyboard layout on Android 4.3, Sense 5.5?
I am going crazy, I was using that kind of keyboard on HTC for ages and now...
Does anyone have any Idea how to get the keyboard from sense 5.0? Thank you.
Totally agree

I've used the T9 keyboard since I bought my NOKIA 3210 back in the last century...LOL My fingers are too big for the tiny keyboard.. Only part of the upgrade that was not good if you ask. I think I might buy one from playstore, since I can't seem to get used to the full keyboard... Hopefully somone in here might do some magic
Nice to see I am not alone ? Have you tried any of keyboards from market and did you find any of them usefull? I tried couple and I did not find anything I like ?. Yes, that is only thing I find not good. I don't like typing any more on my phone?
You can try to push the apk of the keyboard of sense 5, but you can have issue and, maybe, a flash of rom.

I wrote to HTC and got this answer...
Thank you for contacting HTC.
Kindly note that unfortunately we have no information on why was the T9 keyboard deleted from the phone after the last update, however I can assure you that it is not a problem of your phone but an HTC decision to take that option out.
What we can do, is to send your complaint to HTC as a comment/suggestion for T9 layout to be added back as one of the keyboard options. It is possible that HTC will add it back if we get a certain number of those suggestions on our Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as through our e-mail support. Until then, you can only try to download a third party application that supports T9 layout.
If you have any other inquiries, don't hesitate to contact us again.
For further details, please note that you can contact us via support line or via email following the below link: https://support.htc.com/en
Thank you for using HTC products.

T9 keyboard 5.5 sense
Hey !!! About time !!!
I am not the only person in existence who has flashed several Roms only to realise ALL sense 5.5 Roms have NO T9 keyboard !!
Can someone PLEASE let us have the sense 5.0 T9 apk, ppplllleeeaaasssseee !!
All other play store T9 boards are useless, i have flashed the Honami Sony xperia Z1 T9 APK, which is as good as it gets

Thanks guys
I've attached the sense 5.0 version of the keyboard. If someone could edit the package name, or whatever you need to install this alongside the sense 5.5 keyboard, that would be nice.
I tried editing this with VTS but I couldn't get it to compile.
I hope that someone could make this (upload Sense 5.0) keyboard as apk and we would be able to download without rooting and custom ROM...
Thank you guys for trying. I hope someone here who is very, very familliar with those things can make just an apk to download to HTC.
Thanks.
I really miss the T9 keyboard as well! Can't understand why they would remove it?!
I'm so glad I didn't get the update yet, and I'm definitely not updating so long as there isn't a Phone Pad keyboard layout.
What a retarded decision to remove it. Hope they "decide" to put it back in.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium.
I have to send in my phone to replace the camera and asked them (my service provider) if they could downgrade my phone as well. They couldn't promise anything though.
HTC said that they are sorry but I have to get used to not having T9. Which pisses me off. I bought the phone because I'm used to sense, it's T9 keyboard and everything HTC has done.
T9'd from the darkest M7.
You can use Smart Keyboard Pro. His keyboard T9 is almost as good as htc T9
Hoping htc furnish the T9 keyboard soon...

I've tried to create an apk of the sense 5 keyboard that can be installed alongside the 5.5 keyboard, but I can't get it to install on my stock rom. I've never done stuff like this before, but someone has to! Atleast I got it to compile...
Maybe it'll work on custom roms? If anyone wants to test it, feel free to do so!
Edit: Feels like I've been poking around and changing everything by now and I still can't get it to install properly on my phone. Where are the experts?
Might be worth you all moving into the 21st Century instead?
Seriously, though, why on earth would you use a T9 keyboard when swiping is SO much easier? Not flaming, I'm honestly curious

Swiping is a pain in the rear and it's way too easy to make mistakes imho. I have compared my typing speed with friends and all of them are slower with whatever input method they are using, so I guess I want T9 because I'm good at it and it works!
I'd like to hear about any news concerning this as well...
I've tried "Smart keyboard" and "Perfect keyboard" they all got the T9 option, but they're all not as good as the one from HTC.

However, i agree with EddyOS
Not for flaming, but T9 is so old, and, probably, htc will re-add it with a new update.
And, i'm fastest with a qwerty keyboard with and without keyboard respect T9, this depends from user/user

Hello,
Apologies if I'm in the wrong place (again).. I'm trying to buy a new phone and would love to run an android port on it. I'm currently looking at Sprint - at the HTC Touch Diamond ($199 after rebate etc) or the HTC Touch Pro ($299.. less desirable) the sprint site doesn't mention a querty keypad for the Touch Diamond.. Is it fair to assume the Touch Diamond is not a good candidate for android - or is there a touch screen keyboard now?
I'm really sorry if this post is off topic.. I've been all over the intertubes trying to find a good smartphone that will effectively run an android port (I'm well aware its under heavy development) that will atleast make phone calls (or should be able to soon). If the Touch Diamond won't work - can someone recommend a different phone?
Thanks,
Keith
Well seeing as the HTC magic and Hero are both non qwerty it would be safe to assume that there is an on board virtual keyboard.

you do not need to remove the stock samsung keyboard.
Download this to you pc, unzip it. Copy both files to your device.
At your device go to the folder where you copied the to files, install them both.
Go to settings -> Locale and text -> check HTC_IME mod is selected.
Now go into some application where you can write somethins, for example sms. Touch the writing filed and hold it until a menue pop´s up, touch "Input method" and now select HTC_Ime mod.
Done.
They should mod this so you can still keep the samsung keyboard
Thank you very much, very helpful

Not everyones native language is english, german or french ;-)
I don't know which ROMs you use but Swype on my phone has just about every european language you can look for.
That's just not true for my device. There is no bulgarian, no slovenian no serbian for example.
Using jg1.
Bulgaria and slovenia are even in the european union.
I love the HTC keyboard, it is so much better than the Samsung one, also I used swype for about a week and I just didn't see the big advantage but that's just my opinion.

Swype I find awful, I've given it some time but it's so restrictive especially when dealing with URLs and email address etc
I've heard that this should be better since it has the multitouch thing where you can hold one button (letter) down and still type.

I have just tested this droid keyboard and it is much better than htc becouse of multitouch support. Too bad its doesnt have my national letters included so i cant use it.

Has anyone noticed that the built-in samsung keyboard also has multi-touch? Press down a letter, and you can still type. It doesn't seem to work for Shift + a key, but it is still multi-touch

Yeah that's true but all other keyboards are just as bad for that so I don't see why that little inconvenience should rob you of the great experience swype gives for all other purposes.

True, but it works for one letter only; so you can't press shift to type a whole word like you can on the Droid X keyboard.
Using the Aosp 2.3.2 Gingerbread....lovely ROM, however I hate the keyboard. I think I had this problem with a CM build as well but didn't keep around long enough to care.
I've been using the phone keypad for text input for years and don't want to change.
Are there options?
Huh? Are you talking about T9? Smart Keyboard Pro has a T9 function I think.
no im talking about this...
well, I'm not awesome enough to post a link yet apparently. It involves installing the htc_ime.apk
This just force closes everytime I tap on a box to input text.
I want the dial keypad, of course with T9. As seen in attached.
Did they get rid of this altogether? Or is it just this rom?
just checked SmartKeyboard...trial version. yes that's what I was looking for. Never saw that as an option in any searches.
Thanks, I'll continue to play with it, but it would be nice to have the HTC Input work being that it is free and all.
HTC anything won't work without htc frameworks (as inside an htc/sense rom)
Google this "flext9 keyboard apk hvga". I believe it has what you need as well as a swype-like function AND a shapewriter-like function. I can't upload it for you from my phone but you might have luck with google.

There are several applications on the market like Evenbetter (paid app) or Better Keyboard 7 (free) that have the input you are looking for, which is in and off itself called "T9" text input. Just do a search in the market for "T9" to see your options.
For those who like dark HTC keyboards,keyboard is similar to the one from HTC Sense 4 ,it's not exactly the same it's a little bit darker but still looks nice,it is a temporary solution until someone will succeed in Porting the real Sense 4 keyboard.

So lameazz what happened to your XL, is it rely dead or what. And how does the One X feels like,is it any good i heard they have some defects or problems with their screens ,flickers and such issues especially in landscape mode. I am thinking on buy one my self and was reading in XDA forum about those issues now i am not so sure to buy it. Are you experiencing any problems with One X or is it the best device ever
I've named sxl dead cause it's still at service center with no infos at all.
And about One X... I have not faced any of mentioned "bugs" except kinda lag in menu/browser, but there have been 2 sw upgrades in one week while i have it, and now device runs better. Meybe i have not tested all stuff (will do in next days) but for now I am very pleased with the device
