Touch Keypad layout editing

Is there a way to edit the layout of Touch Keyboard and/or the Touch Keypad?
I'd like to add some letters, if the extra letters don't show up on the associated button, that won't bother me.

Did you get any answers for this? I would also like to change the layout. Is there a sym.txt to edit?

Not much activity....
Did any1 rip an install cab for the touch pad/keyboard?

Key Board
Any one no how to get the touch/touch cruise keyboard like the iphone keyboard? is there a setting for that? I would love to type using my thump... with the iphone keyboard layout.

I'm installing PocketCM Keyboard again, that works. HTC keyboard just sucks.

SYWPE or Old HTC Magic Black Keyboard on Desire

Is there any way to use the old keyboard on the Desire? I dont like the Desires stock keyboard, its difficult to type using it. I was fine with the HTC Magic, but with the Hero and this i still make mistakes often, 6 months later! grrrr
I was also trying to get Swype onto it but it says its installed but its not there...

i put swype on a friend's incredible yesterday, shouldn't be a problem. you probably just haven't selected it, if you installed it. long press on a text input field, and choose input method when the window pops up. just choose swype.

Default Keyboard on HTC Desire

Hy Guys,
Is there a possibility to get the default Keyboard installed on the Desire? I really like this keyboard and would like to have it back without installing a Non-Sense ROM. Can anyone help me? By the way. It has to be a german layout.

If you mean the default black android keyboard it's already on your desire. Just click in whatever text input field so that your keyboard pops up. Then long-press the input field. Now a menu will popup in which you can choose "Input Method". If you select that you can switch between all installed keyboards on your phone. The stock desire rom has the HTC and default Android keyboards installed.

If I do this I only get the method Touch Input. If I go to the settings I also just get the settings for Touch Input, which is the HTC Keyboard. Did I make a mistake?

[Q] Keyboard swapping?

How do i change the keyboard in android? What are the files to replace?
Does anybody know how to replace the Desire HD (sense build: 1.24.405.1) keyboard with the original Desire keyboard that doesnt have all the arrows?
does anybody have any custom keyboards that they want to post in this thread for us to try out?

Download Ultra keyboard. Pay from market.

i like the one from the original desire builds, original sense from froyo.
where would i get that file?

I personally use "smart keyboard pro" love its responsiveness and u can choose between skins and keyboard sounds.."better keyboard" is also a good choice...

If youre using a build with sense and just want the stock android keyboard all you have to do is uninstall the "Touch Input" application. I used an app killer to kill the HTC touch input process and discovered that it killed the HTC keyboard, so after that I just uninstalled it. The stock one is so much better for me, seems more accurate with autocorrect and I can actually hit the keys for once.

Just make sure you copy any file you are about to delete before you delete them, just incase.

I'm using the mattc 1.8 Sense build. Here is an easy way to change the keyboard.
How it's done:
Go to messages and create a new message.
Click in the input field and stay there with your finger at least some seconds.
A popup will appear with the possibility to go to the input method or something like that (sorry, I'm using my build in German )
Here you can choose if you want to have the Sense or the original Android keyboard layout.
Edit: Sorry if it isn't what you were asking for, I'm not sure.

[Q] Arrows in Keyboard IME from Samsung

Hi guys!
I have a question about the SGS2.
On the latest version of my OLD HTC with rooted ROM Reflax it has arrows under the keyboard.
While the SGS2 doesn't have a trackball/pad, I would like to have a keyboard with arrows so I can go back/forward/up/down in my characters in my text.
Before the SGS2 I had the HTC Desire that one has a trackball/pad.
It would be awesome if someone know an app, or would develop one for me and other people!
(Sorry for my bad english grammer, Im not the best with it..)
Greetings,
RedFeather

AFAIK the stock keyboard doesn't have this option but I didn't use it long enough to discover it. Try 'Gingerbread Keyboard' on the matket by Steven Lin which is free or Perfect Keyboard which is paid but lives up to its name. Both have the required option if you swipe up in the space bar.
Regards.

Thanks, and i see this is placed in the wrong forum? How to replace it to Q&A? (New to XDA)
Someone else got an option?

Smart keyboard pro as the ability to put arrows on the keyboard.
Used it on my MIUI roms and worked great.
In Settings you enable or disable it and with a HTC skin it looks exactly the same.

hmm sounds nice.
I saw it in the market, it is paid. Whats the difference with the Trial version?
And else, do you have the pro version .apk for me? (A):$

Swype
The built-in swype keyboard has the ability to show arrow keys.
To get them you need to swipe from the swype-key (bottom left) to the "sym" key.
