Swype has just been leaked for android, and it's awsome!

Now to my question:
I am from Denmark, but there is no danish dictionary available. Would it be possible to either install a danish dictionary somehow (Can't find out where they put the dictionaries in the .cap...) or to just make a HUGE list of danish words in the "User dictionary" somehow?
This version will not work for MT3G or G1 users. Screen resolutions do not match.

I assume we would need to change the resolution values in at least SwypeScreen.ini found in "/assests/files/" in the apk and resize the images in "assests/keyboards/"
What are the g1/mytouch portrait and landscape resolutions anyways?
Files are 854*256, and 480*320 for the kb skins. We also have 24*24, 19*19, and 15*15 for some icons.
*edit* I tried resizing one of each the kb skins in gimp, I've got 480*144, and 320*213 that looks about right don't you guys think?*edit*

and probably others...
I went with the ratio above for the files, but no go. Installed fine, but complained about wrong resolution. I'll try resizing now to more exact proportions which should be 480*171 (for the droids 852*256) and 320*180 (480*320).
I still haven't found another file that talks about resolutions either, also maybe I have to change the file names to represent the updated size, though I don't think that should matter.
So there's a Swype build that got out with a leaked Magic RUU. I managed to get it installed on my myTouch 3G and partially running. Installation is complicated by the need to install a library to /system/lib (so only rooted devices need apply right now).
If anyone manages to get the Swype-based input to actually output, or figure out the build.prop changes to make the annoying messages go away, please let me know. I'm not going to have the chance to mess with it this weekend so I figure I might get people started.
I was also looking at that, but I guess I'm having the same results you are. Personally, no error messages, but the keyboard doesn't show up at all.

What makes SlideIT superior to Swype, what can SlideIT offer me that swype can't?
here is a link for the swype.apk for the mytouch/g1 www dot mediafire dot com/?kymmewehmjz
sorry new users cant post links replace dot with (.) and install using astro or another file manager
i have this working on a htc touch hd running android thru haret it works great but does come up with the error but thats fine for me i can type soo fast now!
As what I understand, SlideIT is available in the market so its easier to get it, Swype is harder to attain

Thanks for this. Worked great on a mytouch since the one in the first link wasn't for the mytouch screen res (HVGA).

any screenshots?
the HTC keyboard has bigger/better keys and can be calibrated and if your phone is rooted there are walk throughs in the development section of this forum on how to put it on the phone.
Has anybody extracted the HTC keyboard from the other rom so that it's installable on a non-rooted phone? It should just be a regular android app, right?
How do I get the HTC keyboard running on JF 1.51 US? Thanks
Install the HTC-Cime application. It's under the development section
I looked and I cannot find. Can someone provide a link? Thank you.
Isn't it called HTC-Ime and the Htc-Cime is the Chinese version? Thanks
Jashsu's CIME Installer thread here
Okay, I figured out how to get the HTC keyboard on a non-rooted phone.
Go to this page (from the development forum)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515840
Ignore the instructions from this page, but download the update.zip file to your computer. Open up the zip folder, and extract the file called "HTC_IME.apk" (I forget which subfolder it's in, unzip it and do a search if you can't find it)
Put the HTC_IME.apk file on your SD card and then select it with a file manager (I used Linda File Manager). After it installs, go into your phone settings, select "Locale and Text" and then uncheck Android keyboard and select Touch Input (Touch Input is the name of HTC's keyboard, apparently).
That said, I think the default keyboard is actually a lot better than HTC's. Still, it's nice to have the variety and HTC's keyboard does have a T9 mode if you're into one-handed typing.

There is a free app called big keys I think. I didn't really care for the bigger keys taking away from my screen but it worked good and had simple gesture control also
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.

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.

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.

No need to be sorry! Thank you for helping me out, I got more than what I was looking for. Have a good day (or night ) further.
This is my 2nd night trying to get the htc_ime.apk to work in my girlfriend's g3, and mine too. after i updated the phone to the 4.2.8 cyanogen roms from the cm-updater both thc_ime. keyboards don't work it forecloses. so 2 nights and now i downgrade it to 4.2.7 and it works just fine, other thing is like when im in the browser with the 4.2.8 roms afer pressing home to check text it takes like 5 secs to go adding wallpapers and pictures frames does the same thing. cyaonogen you rock and nothing by respects for you my friend but could you please add this app to all your roms????
Why are you posting this here ?
HTC IME is not included in Cyanogen's ROMs because he only includes parts which he has express permission to distribute, since the whole Google fiasco. Since the HTC IME is closed source and riped from a Hero dump he doesn't have permission to distribute it. He will most likely never include it again.
Check torrents and see if u can grab it there, i dont have it or id put it on a upload site for ya.

Did you enable it and also switched to it?
(go to your sms app. tap on the field were you type your message and hold..
don't let go until you see a menu pop-up, and choose the input method - touch input)
Is there anyway to get the standard android keyboard onto a hero? I actually have an Eris, but I don't think that effects the possibility any. I would imagine it's only an .apk file, but searching google brought up nothing. If you have the file needed to get this onto my phone, I'd appreciate it very much.
Also looking for something like this if it's possible.
I tried copying the keyboard from cyanogen mod, but it didn't work, so it's not that simple, I'm afraid.
I would also like to know how to do this.
+1
I can tell you now... you'll be disappointed with any keyboard besides the HTC keyboard. I even tried "Better" Keyboard (the quotes indicate that it's not really better).
I would be willing to give the Samsung keyboard a go, but the HTC keyboard is the best I've seen as far as interpreting your intended keys, auto complete, spell check, etc.
Definitely think the HTC keybaord is the way to go. Would hate to have to use another one.
SoftKeyboard.apk
I extracted this apk file from the AOSP source tree for Android 2.0.1. I haven't tested it yet, but it should work. After installing it, you should be able to set it as default somewhere in the Settings/Locale menus. Hope this is helpful!
Andrew
Is it possible to use the HTC Keyboard on a Motorola Droid?
If so, does anybody have the apk file?
thats a very good question. The Newer iphone style keyboard pretty bad imo. I find it really hard to type on it and it seems quite slow!
that APK File says cannot install this software on this phone! HTC Hero 1.5 T-mobile uk edition

Standard Keyboard
I tried following instructions I found that had me copying 2 files from ASOP Cupcake in to /system/lib, something like libjni...
and the LatinIME.apk+odex in to /system/app
And no luck I'm afraid, same error on how the keyboard could not be installed.
Anyone know if it's actually purposely restricted or just missing components that can be replaced?
I came from the HTC Magic and the keyboard is the one thing that I miss

I'm using something like this, it's something called "Scandinavian Keyboard" off the Market. You need to long-press a textfield in order to actually enable it when you've installed the apk. I suspect all you need to swap to the stock android keyboard is the LatinIME.apk from a corresponding version (of android).
The scandinavian keyboard is actually only the US ASCII layout with some long-press popups for our weird characters, so if nothing else you could probably install this too. Perhaps it's just relabeled...
framework
It seems as though the HTC_IME.apk has a framework check, so it checks either the android or HTC apk in /system/framework.
Maybe the HTC framework is preventing the install of the default keyboard?
Any developers willing to take a quick look in to this?
The android keyboard is in my opinion the better keyboard and it would be great to be able to use it on the Hero, would make the experience perfect.
i agree with the guys saying htc's one is great....it really is fast an reliable...only thing it is lacking is an option to erase false entries that keep showing up....for example i typed "aam" few times instead of "sam"
Hello!
Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I searched for it and could not find any info, although I swear I read a post about it the other day.
Anyway, where can I get the HTC IME with the Text to Speech function? Im on Tainted Vanilla and want to add that IME to it..
thanks.
I posted this the other day but it didn't seem like anyone cared.

I took the HTC_IME keyboard with voice input from the leaked myTouch Slide ROM and to my surprise it worked on the Eris. The only problem I've noticed is the user dictionary will crash when you try to open it. If someone would like to fix it that would be great.
While I think you're better off with jonasl's HTC_IME mod I think some people may prefer this.
Download HTC_IME-vi.zip (mirrors)
Download HTC_IME-vi-undo.zip (mirrors)
Copy HTC_IME-vi.zip to your sdcard and flash it as you would any other zip.
Flash HTC_IME-vi-undo.zip to get rid of this keyboard and go back to the default HTC_IME.
I don't know what will happen if you use this on a ported Hero or other custom ROM. I can tell you that it works on a plain rooted ROM.

I downloaded and installed the HTC_IME Mod and when I went to use it for the first time I got a security message saying that any text entered including conversations, passwords, and credit card information can be recorded and sent to the developer.
I am deleting it right away ! ! !

That's the default message you see when you install a keyboard. You'll see the same thing if you try Swype. But don't install if you're not comfortable
Ohh, I see. I am new to all this.. So this program can not capture that information then? What is Swipe?

I suppose in theory it could, but the one I posted is straight from an HTC ROM and the HTC_IME mod has the source available. If there was anything fishy in it someone would've spotted it by now. This is Swype.

It means you would flash it like any other zip through the recovery menu. This is only for rooted phones.
