TouchPal3.5 Overview Video:
http://www.cootek.com/intro.aspx
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.
My friend is unhappy with the Android touch keyboard, and he discovered that switching the input language to Chinese replaces it with the HTC TouchInput. Does anyone know if it's currently possible to replace the Android touch keyboard with HTC's version without switching the language? I'm attaching a screenshot that he took of it. Thanks.
Why? Switching the input doesn't affect the usage at all. You get the bonus of inputting Chinese, and lose nothing.

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.

I ve tried both 3.09 and 2.00 versions on my 1.61 stock HD2 , but both getting "Open of EnglishUS" failed error
Is Swype not compatible with this rom? What am I doing wrong?!
It isn't compatible. If you want this feature, you'll have to:
1) buy an HD2 that has it in the ROM already.
or
2) flash to a ROM that contains it in order for it to work properly.
I did so, largely for this reason, and although many have complained about its function, particularly on secondary/long press keys, I have not had much difficulty with it, although I have seen the issue and have worked my way around it when it presents, because I find the software an absolutely indispensable feature for the way I use my phone every day.

Like you I have found Swype brilliant!
Out of curiosity, what work around did you use to get around the 'long press' issue?

I've noticed that it seems to happen in specific contexts, and that in general, if I can keep my finger dead steady during the long press, it won't have a problem reading the long press about 95% of the time. Long press "?"/M seems to always work at the end of sentences, at least for me, for example, so I think there is some context issues related to this.
I also tried deleting the Swype User data files and it seemed to help. Not sure why, or if it was real or imagined, but the issue was less common after doing so.
I can't do without it in my HD2, so I'll live with it the way it is, because even with these issues, I don't mind it.

Hi Donal,
Do you have a download link for the OzROM you have mentioned in your sig? I assume that installing it will wipe phone memory/data? I'm only asking as I have a problem with Swype, with it often causing the 'keyboard button' to become inoperable, I'm wondering if it's a problem with my Rom, as I only have the old 'out of the box' one, 1.43 or so I think.
I just reinstalled the Omnia2 versin of swype.
I somehow prefer that version..more used to it and it doesn't have that secondary key problem...

Tap them out once and Swype should add them to its database. You should be able to slide them out thereafter.

Don't mislead people by offering advice when you don't know what you're on about.
There is no connection between the Swype CABs and the ROMs. It should all work.
Now, that error isn't uncommon, I've had it myself. Unless you get the error after installing the Swype HTC skin found on XDA, you can fix the error merely by uninstalling Swype and reinstalling using the CAB. Select the Swype keyboard to make sure it works and then do a soft reset.
I've used both the Omnia II and T-Mo HD2 Swype CABs on a variety of phones with a variety of ROMs and it all works. Currently using the HD2 CAB on official 1.66 WWE ROM and it works well.

I already followed this steps with v3.9, but i had lost the e-mail & wi-fi passwords, the phone was blocking and needed to reset with the red button under the cover, with a long press on the keys to get symbols 90% of times did not working... swype it is really fast, but seems not working, at least the one fixed for hd2 , as it claims (with the .txt in /windows folder)

can you select swype by clicking the up arrow at the centre bottom off the keyboard? I only ask because this one worked for me whilst the other version I tried wiped my data connections too.

Yes indeedy.
I have used both versions of swype, Omnia 2 and 3.9. I find 3.9 more pleasing to the eye. The buttons are bigger and the letters are bigger. Yes its a little harder to press and hold to get the numbers but it works everytime for me. Seems that the touch points are smaller.
But when installing both versions I lost email settings and wifi settings. The wep password disappears for the router and my smtp and pop settings disappear for emails. I have switched back and fourth and both versions cause the same issues. But so does pulling the battery when to do a reset. So it seems to be more of an HTC issue and not a swype issue.
I have heard others saying about the 3.9 and lock password being changed. I have a feeling swype 2.0 does the same thing. Might be linked to the other problems.

Could you please pull your cab. We do not yet have an official beta for Windows Mobile. It has been announced that Swype will be available through T-Mobile on the HTC HD2, but today it is only available through Verizon on the Samsung Omnia II.
Love this keyboard, i can actually text one handed! its a pleasure to use but when its finally released etc will anybody be able to mod it to include voice to text button? Thats the only thing i miss!
Where did you get Swype?
I believe they are still in beta? and the beta program is finish?? However if you have rooted your device, think some of the custom ROM has the swype included in it? Otherwise just google it online.
i like the idea
but its not available in my language yet and even though i wouldnt use the dictionaries it doesnt have the funny characters of my language like æ Æ, ø Ø and å Å

How do i "Enter" to the next line down? In the place the enter key should be is a big smiley key?
I've just realised that the smiley key is only present in sms apps - when emailing or using talking Tapatalk then the enter key is present and correct. In the browser enter is replaced by a "go" key, so it seems the key down is dependent on what app is being used.
Is there some way to force Swype to show enter instead of smiley key when messaging?

someone has a working beta supporting German language? My version stopped working exactly 9 minutes ago .. (beta period expired... since midnight)
Can't even get it to install with 15MB free. COmplains that the space is too low.
I was just wondering what version of swype you are using? And does it effect your multi touch controls on the desire? Thanks

I also got the message that the trial had expired but it still works fine today.
Edit - just replied to a text now and if I try to use the swype input method it stops but if I input each key individually it works.
There are already swype alternatives on the market. SlideIt actually seems to work better then Swype did, at least for me.

ok, copied some graphics and the german dictionary to the new beta (renamed the german to english), delete the meta-inf, resign the apk and it works perfect

I've directly pushed an italian zdb.le into the data directory, replacing the spanish one and it works a beauty. However it's still saying english/spanish as languages, any way to change it ?
Also, I've tried to do what you did, without deleting the meta-inf and ended up saying installation failed... do you know why ?
you have to sign the apk again

i changed my keyboard colour to brown now, fits the desire better hehe
no idea how to change the tracer color (from blue to red or sthg like this) and how to say "german" instead of "espagnol" @ poupup.. can't find the correct file to edit.
I think I signed it correctly, but it was the first time I did that... (it said no errors)...maybe the tools you linked are more appropriated, the once I used looked a lot simpler.
By the way, I've noticed that compared to the normal windows mobile version and maybe even the 'default' beta english dictionary, the keyboard crashed quite a bit, maybe once every 100 words, while using a very complex word. Guess it's more than normal but wondering if it's caused by the pushed dictionary (which I extracted from a windows mobile installation)
The easier signing methods did not work for me too, only the one I linked to.
Is there a way to stop the trial expiring? I really loved using it, but could only do so for a few days
