Hope this isn't a dumb question i searched it couldn't find anything..
I used shapewriter on my G1 and liked it a lot for when i was too lazy to use my keyboard and want to get it on my nexus one, but when i downloaded it and enabled it under keyboards nothing happened.
I thought this could be an issue with shapewriter so i reinstalled, re-enabled and still didnt work. I then tried getting a random keyboard (handcent keyboard) to see if it worked, it also didnt work... anyone know what can be causing this?
Oh and I am using an SD card that i used on my G1 that ran cyanogen but i removed my ext3 partition

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong location, but my Swype no longer auto spaces correctly. Rather than adding a space every word, it has started to add a space every 2 words. I now have to hit the space bar after every word I type. I have reinstalled Swype and it still has not fixed the problem. I have done a search on XDA and the net and still cant find a solution. Any thoughts from you guys?
I have the same problem. It's what made me stop using it. The only way mine would fix (and I know this sounds weird) is to delete all my messages. I moved on and now I'm using Resco Keyboard. Much better than the stock kb.
Yeah I ended up doing a hard reset because I was having so many problems with the phone. Now everything is back to normal. I might check out Resco Keyboard.
Why don't you switch to the latest version of Swype? It's great!
v3.19.20.20.6343
There is a small issue with Auto Spacing not working with HTC Messaging and Twitter. That can easily be fixed here.
Believe me, there is no on-screen keyboard that holds it's own in a contest with Swype. This thing is what got me off Hardware Keyboards.
swype never works for me!!! haha

the dll didnt work on my tp2 to fix the errors
That's because it's not for the Touch Pro 2...you are in the HD2 forums...
Ever since Ive had the phone ive found sometimes all the apps from my SD card can go missing from the launcher and theres no way to bring them back without a reboot. Another thing that happens is sometimes they will be there bu they will be spread out over around 20 pages.
I know my cards being read as if I install and switch to launcher pro they show up, they all show up in the apps list in settings or if I use the google search function I can access them that way but its becoming a real pain.
Ive tried formatting my SD card and ive also tried reflashing my phone but the issue is still there.
Anyone else had it or know why its happening?
It happened to me once. But right after i used root uninstaller to remove the golf game, whatsapp and postcards. So i thought it affected it. I did not reboot however. I just moved the missing apps back to the phone and then back to the SD card again and they reappeared in the launcher.

Please please do a search first, this issue is discussed many times.
you dont' have to reboot to get them back just kill your home and this will make them appear again.

actually I did do several searches on the forums and on google and nothing came up, perhaps my search criteria wasnt specific enough. But thank you for your reply anyway
i've searched for an answer to this question but most keyboard problems i've come across deal with the entire keyboard freezing or lagging and usually changing settings like pop ups and autocomplete resolve the issue.
my problem deals with individual keys freezing. when this happens, the rest of the keyboard functions as normal. usually closing and reopeneing the keyboard or pressing other keys will fix it but that's really annoying to have to do. the delete key and space key freeze the most but i've experienced it with just about every key. i've tried every different keyboard in the market and tried changing keyboard settings but the problem persists. i don't know where else to turn so i decided i would ask on here.
i posted this in a dev thread earlier because i originally thought it was a rom issue, but the issue has repeated on several different roms and other people have confirmed that they're experiencing the same problem. i'm not sure how widespread it is, but it's definitely something that i think needs to be addressed.
i'll appreciate any response so thanks for any help in advance
If it is across all the keyboards you try, maybe it is something with your screen? I had similar issues with my phone, where if I would have two fingers touching the keyboard on different keys, it would flip out, and sometimes lag. I am currently using the HTC_IME keyboard and I no longer have issues. Btw my phone is an optimus v. Hope I helped. Cheers.

I have the same exact problem. And you're right on, my delete key will stop responding a lot of time. Especially when I long press it to delete words quickly.
I have used like 5 different keyboards with the same problem. This happens to every ROM EXCEPT Royal Ginger 2.1
And I have no idea why RG2.1 is the only cure...

thanks for the quick response. and yeah i'm beginning to think it might be screen issue. if i unroot it and return it to stock and it still happens would t-mobile or htc replace it?
also, is the HTC_IME just the stock HTC keyboard?

thanks man, i might have to try out RG2.1. i used MIUI 1.7.15 for about two weeks without any problems and thought i found the fix but it eventually started doing it again.

They might replace it, but I wouldn't count on it. They'd probably factory reset it to see if that works. HTC_IME is a modded keyboard found here on XDA, it is highly themeable, but I use it for its precision and its multitouch functionality.
Here is a link to the OP.

Since you are running HTC sense, you need not install clicker.
Hope this helps.

While there are modded versions of HTC_IME out there (such as jonasl's), HTC_IME is also the name of the stock keyboard that comes with all Sense/mySense ROMs.

You are right, but it doesn't change the fact that it is a damn fine keyboard I swear it is the best I've used to date.

I'm running Tiamat 2.0 and it was rebooting randomly so I installed the 2.01 version. Then wifi quit working. Wiped and reinstalled 2.0 and wifi started working but now autocorrect doesn't work! Any suggestions?
I wish this worked as well as my wife's Transformer!

You're kind of thrashing around trying to fix things by reflashing roms, but some of these problems you are having are known issues with simple fixes---if you'd just read the threads for the Roms you are flashing, you'd know that random reboots are mostly caused by setting the WiFi sleep policy to anything other than NEVER in settings. Hammerhead Rom had a fix for that in it but maybe it doesn't work for everyone.
Also the stock browser and stock keyboard can act buggy sometimes-so either download a different browser/keyboard from the market to try out (there some really good ones) and/or re-boot on occasion, just to refresh the system. It seems the keyboard gets laggy without regular reboots and maybe that has also affected the auto correct, although that could be due to something else altogether. I doubt that it's Rom related though.
Good luck solving your problems.
Thanks...haven't had much luck searching these forums. I have downloaded other keyboards but that hasn't solved the problem. It now appears that the dictionary is empty. When I turn on the option to display suggestions as I type, I see only names of people in my contact list. So...now I search for that solution...or I'll just flash another ROM... I just don't have the time to research every problem I have had and in my experience newer ROMs fix most of the issues I've had anyway.
Still a problem!
So nobody else has seen this problem? I can recreate it every time!
I restored my user dictionary from a backup and now I can see the words that should be autocorrected in the preview line above the keyboard. However, when it underlines the correct word and I press the spacebar...where it used to select the underlined word, it now ignores it and does not perform the autocorrect even though it knows what it should do...
This is driving me crazy now! Suggestions?
Thanks.

Reflash from stock. or upgade to tiamat 2.1 hammerhead.i think there is a system app deleted on your xoom.
Hello everyone !
I have a big issue since I switched to the CM 10.2.
when I am typing something (on any chatting software for example), each time my phone has a notification and/or any activity, my phone keyboard lose focus and vanish.
It is really super annoying when typing something and the keyboard vanish 5 times in a sentence, simply because my phone seems to refresh something... This issue happens mostly on the stock CM keyboard, I haven't tested so much the other ones, but it seems to happen with them too. I have uninstalled many program, updated my CM so many times, but nothing change
Does someone have the same issue, or any solution ?
Thanks a lot
Edit : Solution found by eksasol, scroll down a bit to find it

I cannot really understand that the keyboard loses focus and vanishes.. I have never seen something like this. Try to install Google Keyboard from Play Store to see if this happens too.

I have similar issues to that, I deleted the AOSP LatinIME.apk and libjni_latinime.so first, then install Google Keyboard, by flashing it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857
I also found that when you do that and not clear AOSP LatinIME's app data before rebooting, the Google Keyboard somehow takes in some of the AOSP keyboard settings and become theme-able by the CM themes, normally it isn't. Pretty strange.
Also just in case you haven't, make sure to do a factory reset and wipe /system partition when you update to a newer CM version.

After a day of test, apparently it works !! Thank you very much !!!!
I found out that the reason the gesture typing for AOSP keyboard is crashing possibly because it its lib file doesn't support gesture, so you need to replace it with the lib from Google's Keyboard.
So extract the Google's lib located in its APK in the 'lib\armeabi-v7a\ folder and rename it as libjni_latinime.so and put it in "/system/lib", overwritting stock.
Also contrary to what I previously said, it's not a good idea to put Google Keyboard into /system/app as I find it makes it unable to update for some reason.
