APP: Keyboard files from Diamond 2.

Hi all.
I found a working version of the diamond 2 keyboard.
Get it here
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=310L3GYY
It is an early beta, and don't expect it to work. On my phone only qwerty works.

+1 from me as well

Here is a non-stock rom dump for you. It is completely unorganized but all the files are there. You will have to find which files are for the keyboard and pull them out. It does have the keyboard in it you are looking for. Along with a lot of stuff seen on the Diamond/TP 2.

that cab made my keyboard stop working on my diamond? why has this happend
I'm glad I made a backup on my device

I installed the cab found here ppcgeeks and everything works ok on my 2.03 Duttys ROM.
The only drawback is that this Diamond2 Keyboard has its own menu in order to select different language, different keyboard etc (the down arrow menu).
This results to appearance of two menus (one above the other) for selecting keyboard options.
How can we disable the pop up of one of them?

how about latest version this...

Htc Keyboard on Mytouch 3g

Alright I was able to install the Htc Keyboard on the Mytouch 3G. Pretty sweet
Just posted some pics of my mytouch

Great - perhaps you could tell us how you did it and where you got the files from?

And how did you accomplish that, Chuco? Please enlighten us!

you download appmanager, download the htc_ime.apk from the forum put it on your sd card and use appmanager to install from sd....

I got this working using the files and the instructions on Haykuro's blog:
http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?p=213
After the phone restarts, open messages, go to a new message, do a long press in the text input box and when the option appears select 'input method' - 'touch input'
Massive improvement on the stock Android keyboard!

NICE! This is freaking sweet... it'll definitely make waiting for root more bearable since this was one of the apk that i wanted in the myTouch
Thank you for the heads up!

+1.. Just did this on my G1 & will be doing it on my mytouch monday before anything else.. I love the compact qwerty..

How is this compared to better keyboard or touchpal??
cant wait until i get my touch, in for when it finally arrives.

Well HTC_IME has 3 types of keyboards... regular QWERTY, Compact QWERTY (Like the ones on the BB Pearl) and t9.
I have some screen shot of it on my G1 here
As far as better keyboard, its still the same keyboard found in cupcake just skinned and its similar to touchpal but touchpal has a ton more options. hope this helps

thank you that did help.

i have to disagree i find that the htc keyboard to find my words way better than the stock android i type faster on this than on my blackberry

eh? we never did say which one was better than the other

the htc keyboard is definitely better.. stock is lackluster.. Nothing wrong with it, but its not good either..

im using appmanager to install the htc_ime.apk bt its not working... any suggestions?? im using my MyTouch

Is it not letting you install? Giving you an error? Are you changing the touch input after you install it?

it says its nstalled but when i try to change the touch input there isnt another option other than "android keyboard"

Damn you for getting your myTouch early gotta wait 1 more week but when your on your sms screen try holding down the text input area, click on "Input Method" and you should have 2 options "Android keyboard" and "Touch Input" click on Touch Input and you should have HTC_IME instead. I know I don't have my myTouch yet but I think that how it is if you have installed.

Did you try rebooting?
On another note: Anybody notice that the htc keyboard is a resource hog? Can't use while I'm listening to music.

Android double post ftw.
It posts twice, because it's twice as nice. :-D

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!!

[Q] HTC HD2 Keyboard

Hi to everybody.
I have an Htc Hd2 and I love it, but there's one only thing I can't stand: the on screen sense keyboard. It's not accurate and always misspell what I write.
Do you know if there is a .cab that installs another keyboard, more precise?
I'd like to change the default one, I really can't stand it anymore.
I have a 3.14.408.2 ITA ROM and Co0kies's Home Tab.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

No one can help me?

different roms may have different keyboads like swype.
also, a thread about slideit which i have heard good things about:

I'm trying it right now, and you are right: it's great.
I just want to know: is there a freeware version (maybe an older one)?

The only smart pro keyboard I found was for Android and I have WM 6.5.
Do you know if there is also a WM version?

How to change the keyboard?

I don't know if this is an Arc issue or a Gingerbread issue... But I really prefer using Smartkeyboard Pro, but I see no way to enable it. Even though it's checked in the Settings screen, I can't actually replace the stock keyboard.
Any tips?

long press on the area where your text is and you should be able to select your keyboard.

D'oh! Thanks. I'm too used to the way I did it before - long press on the "1 2 3" key.

Any idea or link to download HTC Ime pad for Xperia Arc? Really miss this one? Thanks.

Haven't tried that, but Swype doesn't work for me. Tells me that it was not made for this device and that it has limited functionality. Limited meaning it behaves just like the default input and not a Swype input.

Swype signed an exclusivity agreement with samsung or motorola, some nonsense like that. You can use an alternative tools, like nuance flext9:

i replaced my keyboard with the smart keyboard pro and it works a charm was also really happy that I could change its skin to a black keyboard. excellant quality

Swype works if I install the full package (10mb) rather than just English/Spanish.
