HappyTapping / iphone keyboard on Cruise

Haven't found a thread on this anywhere else.
Has anyone tried the HappyTapping keyboard on the Cruise and can confirm it's compatibility and usability on this HTC model?
Advice much appreciated, don't really like any of the inclded keybaords.

iPhone keyboard...hmm... IMHO it will never work on WM devices.
But if You want keyboard with "pop-up" letters, may be You should try PocketCM keyboard - http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard.php

Also give Cootek TouchPal a try I am sure you will like it.

Resco Keyboard includes an Iphone keyboard and it works great (I know it's commercial but...)

I like this one the most..tryed the other ones and this one is the best at the moment.
Also im from the netherlands and it supports a dutch language pack.

is there any keyboard with 'responce'? a sork of vibrating or sth else which vividly shows you have actually pressed it?

so...

whats a good keyboard to use like a iphone keyboard and i tried one but it didnt work? any help advice?

If you're talking about an on-screen keyboard I would go for TouchPal. Just google it and you'll find it.
Now the new version asks to buy it but you can still use it and it's the only one I use .

There's this one which isn't too bad -

I mainly use the HTC Touch keyboard which you can find in this thread -

If you decide to use both, you'll have to install the PCM one first or it will mess up the HTC one...for me at least.

TouchPal is an awesome keyboard that I just recently came across
http://www.cootek.com/
There was a link to it somewhere here on XDA and they were saying it's well worth taking a little time to get used to and after using it I fully agree.
My personal favorite so far is SlideIt. It's incredible but it has one major drawback, it's $40

It's nice because you just drag your stylus or finger over the letters of the word, you don't have to be exact and it has excellent predictive capabilities.

By far the touchkey board is the best!!!! I had a black like it but it had something called x9 and i hated it!!! But touchkey board is the best!!!!! Works better then touchpal just because it was designed with touchflo in mind..

I use Resco Keyboard with the iSkin and it works great.

full xperia compatible keyboard shapewriter!did you try?

http://www.shapewriter.com/ released new keyboard that calls shapewriter.i tried and i liked it.i havent found any bug yet.it is fit with finger writing as well.enjoy.cheers guys

What language files are available for this?

Yes, I've tried it and while it has a nice flow to it, it simply requires too much accuracy to be any good without a stylus. The keyboard itself is very nice, but I'm not paying $20 for it when I can get a perfectly useable keyboard from XDA-Dev for free.

hmmm... i have it with me on my desktop. Don't know if its allowed to share it here...

Tried it all, SPB Keyboard, Resco Pro, ShapeWriter, TouchPal but in the end I go back to use EzInput 1.5 and you all know what that means

Anyways to improve virtual keyboard?

Hello.
I have always thought that virtual keyboard on Android was too slow/sluggish. I have tried keyboard from stock 1.5, HERO & 1.6. They all feel same. slow/sluggish.
I was reading this blog...
http://ignorethecode.net/blog/2009/08/07/virtual-keyboards-on-iphone-and-android/
and it is so true.
Now I am wondering if there is any fix? solution? to get it perform better with faster responsiveness?
Thank you.

use "better keyboard" from the market. you won't be disappointed. plus all the skins to choose from is a big plus.

I thought better keyboard was just a skinning ?
But is it actually a different keyboard?

Better Keyboard is a different keyboard app, just like HTC is different. There are a lot of skins available for Better Keyboard app.
There is a free keyboard called softkeyboard that you can try as well.

Just lost your chance at a free touchpal download, but it is my favorite by far.

Anyone's Opinion

I've tried multiple Keyboards (HTC IME, PerfectKeyboard, ShapeWriter, and a couple OCR-type ones). Does anyone have any recommendations on what works best for them? I 50/50 use my [fat] thumb..lol..and the stylus, so ideally, I'd like something for each. In a perfect world, the keyboard that Microsoft Mobile has, simply called 'Keyboard,' would be perfect for the stylus.
But, I digress...anyone had any particular luck or has any preference to a certain keyboard?
Thanks!!

I second....the word correction/prediction is outstanding...half the time i dont' even hit the correct letters and it still knows exactly what i'm trying to say.

i use a mix. i use ezinput 2.1 there and swype there...

Swype
Best headache free keyboard for me

keyboards
swype is great: cant remember where I downloaded it for free
