Hi all,
I have a rooted SGS and I put a ROM in to allow me to read and type in arabic, but the person who made the rom didnt include swype! how do i install it again as its no longer in my application list.
I have tried a few APKs but they throw a force close error.
THanks for your help
Are you sure it isn't there? I think Swype keyboard is part of all SGS firmwares.
Try the following: go to Locale and text in the the Settings. If you can see the option "Swype" under "Text settings" that should mean you've got the keyboard. Then you can go to any place where you can input some text; tap-and-hold the input area so that you get a menu. Select the option "Input method" and you should be able to select the keyboard type.
Good luck
I already tried this, the only keyboards available are the MobiDiv one (which really sucks) and the samsung one its definately not there ... i mean say someone uninstalls it by accident how do they go about putting it back? :S

Hi all,
I have noticed a strange issue with my UK Vodafone HTC Magic (default factory build). I downloaded the slightly better HTC keyboard Touch Input and installed it to my phone. If I go to "Settings" > "Locale & text" I can see the option to turn on the Touch Input, but have no option to turn off the Android Keyboard. Hence, as it stands I cannot use any alternative keyboard (e.g. the HTC one or even Better Keyboard), as I've no means to turn off the default keyboard.
Can any other UK owners confirm that this is the case? Only I have searched all over the place and cannot see any reference to this issue. I am assuming it is a restriction of build to ensure people don't switch off the keyboard in error, rendering the phone useless as it has no hardware one to fall back on. Nonetheless though, it does seem rather odd.
If I am correct and it simply isn't an option, is there anything I can do to enable it short of rooting the phone?
Thanks in advance for your help!
same issue here after installing key
I had the compact keyboard working on the jf 1.51 build on my G1, but not on my Magic.
Yeah this is 100% factory spec - ie as its received out the box from Vodafone. Hence I'm guessing the option has been hidden,which seems pretty daft. I'm assuming I could still do a Force Close on the Android Keyboard to force the issue, but obviously that isn't a long-term fix.
Took me a little while to figure this one out but it doesn't set it as the active keyboard by just enabling it in 'settings'.
You have to go to an input box (eg. compose a text message) and select the text input box using the trackball (hold it down) after a few secs a menu appears allowing you to choose your keyboard.
Funny enough I was just coming in here to say that I'd found the solution, but you beat me to it! The one I found was pressing and holding the "123?" button, which then brought up the option to select the input method. Worked a treat.
Thanks for replying though; had I not stumbled on the answer myself you would have been a lifesaver!
Where we I find the HTC KB, i had a look on another post which suggested a file name .. HTC Chime i think - But googling that yielded nothing - Any clues anyone?
Found out one that works and installs w/o issue.
I downloaded the file called HTC_IME.apk, and this installed, without any issues. Works great, and has Full Size Qwerty, xT9, and Compact Qwerty(like Blackberry Pearl). Do a search on google for HTC IME.apk+android, and install it. Issue resolved!
Big big big thank you to swifty and trickshot!!! I had this working on my G1 and could not get it working on my magic, I was getting so frustrated. You ARE lifesavers!!
great discovery, thank you very much for this discovery, i'm going to install htc_cime again
Thanks, it works for me too
thankz gentlemen. i had searched every forum except this one(the only one im registered to) the keyboard was the only reason i could find to switch back to my samsung epix. that and a call recorder that workz. thankz

I have cyanogen's rom version 3.4.6 running on the g1 I currently use touch input onscreen keyboard included, which i believe is the hero htc_IME keyboard. I love how it automatically saves new user terms to the dictionary, but occasionally it will save a term that i just spelled wrong. under my phones settings in locale and text there is the user dictionary option where i can add or delete the terms. Unfortunately this option only shows the user dictionary terms from my android keyboard and not the touch input. i have looked everywhere but i cannot find a way to view and delete the user dictionary terms for touch input..... can anybody please help me?!?!?!?!
In for answer..Been wondering the same
The dictionary is used internally by the keyboard. You can not modify it (add or remove word) unless you know the dictionary file format. But from my understanding the dictionary file format is private proprietary of Tegic software company. There's no public document about this file format

As previous stated there isn't a way to access the dictionary for Touch Input. Your best bet is to uninstall it via Manage Applications and reinstall it. Get the zip here. Push the library file. You can push the apk but it might not fit depending on your phone set up. You can simply put the apk on the root of your SD and run it using Astro or whatever file management app you're using. In the future it would behoove you to be VERY careful on adding words to Touch Input.
Thank you for the help i really appreciate it..... i'm not sure i care enough about the misspelled words to go through with deleting the app and reinstalling it...i sure wish there was an option so i could turn off the auto add feature.... oh well, i guess this is the price i pay for using a keyboard not made for my phone... thanks again!
I dont want to create another thread for a similar question. On the HTC IME how do we STOP the hardware keyboard from trying to "correct" my words as i type them? Its driving me insane.

Theres an option in the settings (gear icon key next to comma key) to turn it off completely, settings- text input and there you will see spell correction and prediction .. or whenever it automatically corrects the word hit back space asap and it will uncorrect it
I posted where the files are and how to reset it here.
However, I do not know about editing those files, you can try if you want.
i'm using an arabic rom, but when entering text in english, using the standard windows mobile keyboard, i do get the regular pop-up menu with predictive text, but the problem is that the dictionary never learns any new words. for e.g. after typing wanna in a couple of msg's, the next time you start typing wan, i never get wanna in the list, just the standard words that came with the original dictionary??? is there a fix around this??

Not sure if this will help depends on the keyboard your using, on mine just above the letter keys when you start typing it shows a bar with the letters typed on the right hand side it shows a (plus) sign click that and then you can add your new word then click the (Tick) sign
Like I said it depends on what keyboard you are using
Another option is you can search for eT9MyWords this is a program on my ROM which allows input of new words
Hope that helps
ozmoran is correct. On a lot of roms you need to actually enter the word for it to be stored in the memory banks. When you start to type a word, click on the + symbol to the right of the input box. Now type word you want again and from then on it will be saved for future use.
All words saved are saved into the eT9MyWords program which can be found if you go to (depending on which rom your using) Start > All programs. If you open up this program you can also physically add more or delete saved words
Hope this helps
what you guys are describing is when one is using 1 of the htc keyboards, full qwerty, or compact qwerty, but that doesn't apply to the standard windows mobile keyboard; on this keyboard you dont have the horizontal bar with the + sign on the end, and i did try entering the words myself into eT9MyWords, but as i said that only serves the htc keyboards...

Ha Ha roger that
Eureka, i just clicked on the clear stored entries, which is found under settings/input/word completion, and since then, the phone seems to have miraculosly remember any new words i type.
thanks alot for all your thoughts guys.
i use the standard windows mobile keyboard, b/c i have been doing that for so long now, i very comfortable, knowing where every key is, and i'm used to the gesture's too. i guess it just an old habit.
again thanks

Excellent, glad you got this sorted.
Obviously path you provided depends on rom your using. This path doesn't exist for me and predictive text works differently on rom I use. I'm assuming your using stock rom?
yes it's a stock ROM. i didnt want to venture into cooked ROMs, so as not to void my warranty, and luckily i havent, b/c a couple of months ago i had a problem with the LCD screen, and i got that replaced at no charge.
Just as the title says. I have no clue where to find that information.
Thanks.
usually you can see that after you open the keyboard, by clicking the small upward arrow near the keyboard symbol, you should see either an "about..." link, or by going into the keyboard settings, there will be something there telling you detailed info

Nope, there's no such "about" information. Not with my version of Swype anyway. I would also like to know the version I have, but have no idea how to find out.

The swype keyboard is not part of the software that comes with the phone, its a cab on here. Search for swype and you should find it....http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all

Hi everyone
I own a Note 3, SCL22, Japanese version from KDDI AU (I believe model SM-N900J - on the main site it goes as SM-N900JZKEKDI). As you know, there is that s pen writing feature which allows you to hand write pretty much anywhere in the phone by hovering over the typing field and clicking a little button there (called direct pen input in the settings). It supports 4 languages, English (UK/US), Japanese and Korean, and I was wondering if there is a way to get more? Apparently, it can't be done from the settings, nor does it seem to be available in the Samsung app shop. Is it possible to add more languages to it, either rooted or not? Preferably not, because my model hasn't been rooted yet, and God knows when it will be.
Thanks in advance.

Add any language from Samsung Keyboard setting.
Setting>Controls>Language and Inputs> then tap the gear on the right of Samsung Keyboard, add your language
The pen input language will be able to be added later.

Yeah, I have read that before. It seems on some devices this is how it is done. On mine, there is no option for that. I can choose one of the four pre-installed languages, but can't add any... It seems I have the answer to my question. Another inexplicable restriction of Japanese carriers.:crying: Well, maybe there is something else out there and it is too early to get desperate..?
Currently, there is no way to add more languages to the engine, which is MyScript Stylus-based application.
However, you can download the MyScript Stylus app from Google Play Store as an separated IME. With this app, you can write many languages. Please turn off Direct pen input before use.
I'm trying to modified other rom WritingBuddyService.apk (which is direct pen input apk) but bcoz I don't have root, I can't intall it as an normal apk.
