The best input method.

Thanks for the heads up on this - I'm a registered user, but I never seem to get the email updates. Do they actually send them?
I'm liking this version so far. It looks nicer and has handy little features. The "More" button on word suggestions was badly needed.

A mistake from Cootek.
It is version 3.5 when you look inside the program when keyboard pops up (click on Option tab, then "?" icon=>Check version info.

Ahhh, I see. Thanks for the hint

Nah, don't use this one, it makes my device run slow (I have an Axim at 600Mhz and with touchpal runs like 200MHz).
Better try FTPRO from www.fingertouchpro.com , it's fast , cool and has more options. For me it's the best software keyboard.

LOVE TOUCHPAL - but when i type "its" my Orbit soft resets !!!!!!

Have no problem using TouchPal on my Cruise, which runs on 400Mhz chipset.
The 'Its' bug has been fixed. Redownload the latest installation file from Cootek website.

is that so? did you download the official release? or something someone else posted? because I've been using TouchPal since version 2 and all the bugs have been ironed out. I have caught 3 of the bugs myself and they were fixed within 24hours.
TouchPal is my main sip, I use it at least once every 30mins while I'm awake. 3 times I've used it to write 5 page essays on my mobile. it's capable and fast once you get the hang of it. yes, there is a learning curve but it shouldn't take too long to get it.
to get the hang of it I'd say the best way is to open notes/word/textmaker or whichever is your favorite and type random words that comes to mind. it's the same layout as on a computer keyboard. so it shouldn't be too hard to understand where each key is located, plus you don't have to press the actual letters of the word you're trying to write, pressing the ones beside it will work just fine. its text prediction is really good, you can turn off the text prediction if you don't want it.
however, the text prediction is pretty good at saving typing the time it takes to type words.
eg: typing the word "circumstance", all I have to type is "circu" and it shows up in the word candidates.
lol, it's word association is good too, if it type word "nasty" it will show "masturbation" in the word candidates, lol. it sure saves me typing time when searching for these kind of videos in WVD lol.
get the file from www.CooTek.com and remember to select the download for the os you're using.
have fun

This looks pretty sweet. I will try it out in a few minutes.

Compact QWERTY Keyboard / SureType

I've been looking all over the place of one I saw a video of but I have had no luck in finding it. Does anyone know of where I can get access to one? Thank you. I want to know how it works so that I can try and make my own.

I thought that he may have something but his blog is down and I can't get to it ATM. Any more help is appreciated.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=5158you can get the IME you need in this thread as well as some help. Remember you need to push three files for it to work. Oh and you need to use adb

Hi,
A good keyboard that I am using is called big keys updated.
Get it on the market ,do a search, it's free.
It works on on 5.02 h and should work son all cupcake builds.
It also gets rid of the annoying gmail tutorial.

I can do all of that and I have the adb ready to go too but it says the link is invalid (I did remove the 'you' in it as well). As far as I knew I thought threads had six digit references.

ok it now works i re-installed it and it is fine btw what is the latest version i have 2.0?

tbh im not sure, how do i check lol...... this is a good thread.........

dont deal with too high sensetivity, install the htc touch_screen_3.3_test_reduced_sensitivity.cab from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604831
u should search before u post ^.^

So who else despises the EVO soft keyboard?

I dont understand why HTC didn't just use the Desire's keyboard. Instead just added really annoying arrows, and in result I find myself constantly hitting these arrows instead of the space or enter keys. Typing is a mess.
Well, no longer. Just wanted to let you guys know jonasl's modded htc keyboard works PERFECTLY. NO MORE ARROWS. YAY!

swype all the way for me, can't even type on the reg keyboard without having to fix every single word

Trackpad? With a 4.3 inch touchscreen? I dont need arrows when i can just pan around the screen with my finger. But im coming from an iPhone.

Actually Swype was the first thing I tried. But its not for me. I can type fast using swype but faster on a qwerty. Also, I am constantly typing in different languages and sometimes I simply cannot rely on any kind of prediction.

I realize this is kind of weird, but have you tried just using the Swype keyboard like a normal keyboard? for some reason I feel like it is easier to use than the other keyboard that way. And you could always practice with swyping, you might get pretty good at it!

I did! But sometimes I move so fast between keys it actually thinks I'm swiping. Plus It would still try to "correct' words that were typed in another language into english, no matter how accurately I touched each button.

You might try Shapewriter out. I believe you can add custom libraries to it, so you could add other languages you type in the same file as your English library.

How is swype for dealing with words that aren't necessarily regularly part of the english language? I tend to use my phone for searching for device model numbers for example, and sense annoys me somewhat because it autocorrects words that aren't actually words but model nomenclatures.

good, you can add words to the swype dictionary by typing it in and pushing the "swype key"

You must be really slow at Swype if you're faster with QWERTY. @[email protected]

I also like SmartKeyBoard Pro which is more IPHONE like for some.
But bottom line folks is that you have choices. If this were an IPHONE and you didn't like the keyboard what options for you have? That is the main point of arguement between the two camps.
Both have their good points and bad points. We are not required to buy either. We can go back to the Motorola Razr Ver(xx) if we wanted to.
If the new IPHONE had at least a 3.8 or 4.0 screen I would use my upgrade and get one to have. But I am very happy with the EVO and I look foward to Froyo 2.2 update that has everything working on it.

SWYPE

I downloaded a CAB for SWYPE for TMObile HD2. Once it installed and did a soft reset, it told me my Password on key lock was wrong (when it wasn't). Had to a hard reset. Got everything working again. Reinstalled SWYPE again, same result. It seems to corrupt the password. Anyone else have the same problem? Could it be because my phone isn't with TMobile?

Did you read what was written in the thread where you downloaded it ? It is said at every place where you find swype, that there are problems like these... Go search for swype on this forum and youll find the answer...

This has just happened to me a couple of minutes ago !!!!
My phone is on T-Mobile HD2 - although I no longer have a T-Mobile ROM installed !!
Looks like a full rebuild for me as well
Please post a resolution if you find one!!!!

Hard Reset is your answer.
There are literally loads of threads about the issues of installing TMOUS Swype on a non-TMOUS HD2. A quick search would have saved you from the pain.

Just for fun
Well in my opinion swype is not the option u need to own, i tried it several times but takes a longer time to write what u want, so it's easier to use the regular keyboard. I think it's just for fun!

you've got to be kidding..right?. swype is the best thing ever. maybe its you who just cant get to grips with it......its defo not "just for fun" either. i'd be lost without it nowadays.......

Just search for WVGA SWYPE v.2 for SAMSUNG,Im using it for the last 2 months its I should say one of the most incredible app I ever used,its a great joy to '"type"on this board,just read the tutotrial,you can do that by tapping and holding the Swype logo on the buttom left of the keybord.
I myself suffered from previous versions and had to HR couple of times but with this no problem at all.

I 2nd that,
its only slow if you're not familiar with a qwerty kbrd or have sticky thumbs (me jokes!).
cant see how... search... press... lift... can be quicker than sliding from letter to letter if you know the layout, imho?

Wait, why are you trying to install swype???
I have a Tmou Leo and I never had to install anything. It was already on my phone, i just had to turn on the option for it. Granted, it was a pain in the ass to actually find; actually found it by accident.
Anyway, so yeah... why?
P.S.
Swype FTW
