Hello,
For persons who want to input text on GEAR really quickly - for sms, (close future?!) email etc - please have a look on Graffiti for Android text input from ACCESS CO. - available in the play store, free version is OK
This make sense if You are running fOmey null_08 or later ROM. Just install it using Wondershare Mobile Go or other preferred way.
What is coincidence - I have started to use this software on the APPLE NEWTON120 in 1995!!
http://www.everymac.com/systems/appl...on_mp_120.html - for those who want to know what is is was (fitting just right in the case from VHS video tape!)
Have a look on the picture - note that full keyboard take less than half of the screen!!
it is around 10 times faster to input text and digits with Graffiti than with Flit! - easy to learn - just a few letters needs "one touch/movement input" - train on the phone first! - when you make the up gesture from the input area Graffiti will show you how to input letters, digits and symbols.
Good old times! It was the default input method that came with the Palm devices.

Dood it works sooo well on the Gear vs. KB.

I believe it will. I used it on the Palm back then. I was very fast with it.
(Btw, also have a look at messagease. It's also an old input method for small screen devices. Also works great.)
i tried using several keyboards, including optimized T9-like for small screen, but they all were slow without the physical touch of a button for me. vibration did not help much. i'm sticking to full qwerty Google Keyboard. despite small keys size, i don't have problem typing and swyping.
SwiftKey works amazingly as well. I like that you can use swype-like input and the auto correct is great. But your idea is also nice. Just throwing in my 2 cents about great keyboards

hi ,
i used Wondershare mobile for Android ,to install from market ( sideload from pc )
Check other threads here on forum about wondershare, if you want to know about Wondershare
You don't have to have root etc ..just install .
(or.. Google, to download trail vers of Wondershare....15 days trail )
Easiest way to install will be through Wondershare mobile go for android - it is free for 15 days, but first You have to enable the the USB debugging in - read about that in the rooting thread. You may try to use only graffiti keyboard but honestly the stock firmware is USELESS comparing to the version 10 of the custom ROM.
To install the rom - read at least the first page of the thread, get odin 3.09 and You will be fine! then You can install graffiti just from the market, or again use Wondershare...

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 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 love docs 1.2 rom. killer23d put it up a while back and i use that one whenever im not satisfied with a new rom. i think i might have found a rom that i like but it doesnt have that awesome keyboard that i am used too. does anyone know how i can take the keyboard off of the 1.2 rom and put it onto any other rom? PLEASE?! thanks!
Does anyone know how i can put the white multi touch keyboard on my sgs and wherebi can download it? Idk how to install via cwm. I tried using
that to install something else and it pretty much messed up my phone and i had to reinstall the rom. Thanks.
Might get some more bites if you listed the name of the keyboard you want.
Grrrr... I forgot which one it was! It was all white. And i rhink it was titled as an android keyboard. Maybe a droid x ordroid 2 keyboard?

By the way, search for 2.3 gingerbread keyboard on these forums. This is very similar to android 2.1 keyboard, only better. I too am a fan of 2.1 android keyboard, well, until i came across the 2.3 keyboard.

I think a small compromise is needed. Try using "better keyboard" to see if that can provide u some temp relief while some dev tries to figure this out.

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

but it sucks compared to Android GB Keyboard
i used to believe Swype was great until i started using AGB keyboard, now i can't live without it.
it's simply that good
AGB keyboard = stock keyboard on 2.3.3 / 2.3.4
i actually find swype to be cumbersome and slow now

Granted I'm a first time Android user, but I couldn't get used to the keyboard on my NS4G. I'm also coming from a Pre with a physical keyboard that I could type one handed without looking.
I admit the Swype keyboard looks like garbage compared to the new keyboard, but in terms of usability, I can punch out a text using Swype waayyy faster than on the new keyboard.
okay, yes, if you want to type one handed in the mist of a rush hour in a public transit, then Swype is a better choice
but for multi-touch fast 2 hands typing, the stock android keyboard is magnificent specially when it comes to language switching
it gives you instantaneous language swap, so in the same message you can mix and match languages without the looooooong steps required on swype.
Confirming also that swype is working fine on NS4G. I had to log into the swype beta website, 'remove' the old device they had listed for my account, re download the inataller, let it do its thing, e.g. install, license...
Off topic, do guys get key lag with AGB Keyboard? ..and did u install from market, or literally just the stock?
pileosnafu said:
I went there today, and saw that the Beta is still open. Just sign up to get the keyboard.
Also after 30 minutes of using the stock keyboard, and then 30 minutes of using the sywpe I went back to stock. The predection function is good. Almost as good as the real thing i had on the epic

Use keyboard manager from the market to use Swype in portrait and then switch to whatever other keyboard you want in landscape.

Hi,
I love using Fleksy on my phone
I've seen Fleksy run on the Omate TrueSmart watch.
Does anybody know if it can run on the Gear?
How would I go about loading it on the Gear?
