Is it possible to change the key board on a phone? I was using DC's last rom and it had an XDA key board that I liked. I just flashed the .6 version of Sprint/HTC's stock 2.1 rom on my phone. I have rooted it so I can play with it a little and would like to put on another keyboard if possible.........
Thanks for your help..........

sure, you can install and use other keyboards, never seen a xda keyboard
I remember in dc's Rom a little xda in the lower left corner.
Where can I find key boards and how would I install it?
After you install a new keyboard you need to long press in a text input box and change input method

find the apk and either do "adb install name.apk"
or put the apk in the /system/app folder on the phone and reboot

You're thinking of the HTC_IME Mod, a modded version of the HTC stock keyboard developed by an xda member. The apk can be found here

and once the apk files are on your SD card, you can use any file manager to install them.

Hi there,
I'm looking for the Swype keyboard for the HTC Legend. I'm currently running a Froyo Rom. I tried one from this website, which didn't work so well, I don't know if it was me or the application because when I opened it, it told me that my trial period expired and that I should upgrade my Swype keyboard application. When I tried using Swype, it would show the line going across but it just wouldn't do anything when I go through the letters, I can only tap on the letters, which would be useless because I would just go back to the normal input method. Any tips? Ideas? Or links to a good Swype Keyboard? The one I tried using but didn't work was:

Thanks for the help.
I have that problem as well ever since the latest version of Swype and after I upgraded to Froyo. Not sure whose fault is it. I switched to Gingerbread keyboard since.
try this rar with version 1.6 swype apk file in it
EDIT: as asked by MOD
you can try to register on swype beta site, and get a newer version of swype. i'm using it, and it work like a charm.
I'mm using Swype since about 3 month. I registered to the beta-program, a friend of mine registered last week and got his version about an hour later. I'm using cyanogenmod 6.1 (Froyo) and swype works like a charm. I also tried cynogenmod 7 (Gingerbread), but there swype closes always.
Get rid of d/l links, or a MOD will. I won't report it, I'm just warning you. On XDA this is seen as warez, and Swype has asked that all download links are removed from here, and all other forums. This sucks, I know. Apply to beta test and hope.
Sorry guys
im on the official swype beta and running froyo...seems like everytime i reboot my phone i have to re-install swype? anyone else have this annoying problem?
Off to Gingerbread
I'm sorry if this is a little off topic, but can anyone please send me a working apk of the Gingerbread keyboard?
I'm on Blayo's ROM, 0.5. I've been trying the app in the market with no success. The app keeps getting FC as soon as I touch the keyboard.
Thank you very much!

I think that is the case if you install swype on sd.
Try to move the app to your phone.

i do have it installed to my internal memory
I am having the same problem, but I'm using data2ext on balyo's b05 rom.I solve this problem by switching input method to touch input and then back to swype.swype is back to normal.

I am using swype on my legend, every reboot you need to long press in a text box and select the android keyboard, then doit again and select swipe, its a known bug. From what i understand it is a problem with timing. Hope this helps.

I was using Swype on Froyo (CyanogenMOD 6.1) without problems. With Gingerbread (CyanogenMOD 7 experimental builds) I had some trouble, as the Swype-keyboard disapeared immediately. After uninstalling Swype and reinstalling it via Swype-Installer everything works again as it should.
Using JVP and can't get used to the small keys of stock gingerbread keyboard.
Have installed stock 2.2 android keyboard but force closes on selection.
Could anyone point me in the right direction to get Froyo keyboard on JVP?

Ultra Keyboard = very nice
Hi all,
Just updated to 2.3.3 (Generic AM x10a) and everything seems to be working as promised. All my apps have reinstalled and are working nicely except for one. I cannot get the HTC_IME to work. It always FCs. I have updated it to v27 as per this thread but to no avail.
Can anyone help me get this keyboard up and running? I miss my HTC_IME!
Thanks.
i believe youre missing some libs.
Umm. What libs? How would I find out which ones and then add them?

i have a few versions so i'm not really sure but i think this one works for me, if it doesn't work then tell me i'll find another version (please use PM because i don't subscribe to threads much)
Strange, I'm still using the .apk I downloaded for froyo and it's working fine... between eclair and froyo I needed a new version but after that no problems at all.

Thanks! The linked one works great!

Mine works normally. One time when I was switching between custom Froyo ROMs it gave me an FC. But, then I realized I forgot to install both the htc_ime.apk and clicker.apk

I also am having a problem with HTC_IME and force close stating process jonasl.ime has stopped unexpectedly after I upgraded to 2.3.3. Even with the apk posted here, it continues. I did what Puck24 suggested by installing clicker, but it didn't help. Any other apk for the keyboard or suggestions?
After a year and a half of ownership, I finally rooted my DX today. (Well, I rooted it several months ago, too: the day before the Gingerbread OTA update...so I took that and lost root.)
I have CM7 on my rooted Nook Color, so I wanted to try something different on the DX; I chose Liquid (Gingerbread) 3.2. I like the ROM a lot, but no matter what I've tried (have spent the last 2 hours Googling and experimenting), I can't get the latest Swype Beta to actually function. It installs just fine, I can poke at it in the Keyboard option dialog, but it doesn't actually get selected.
So, first part of my question is, has anyone gotten Swype to work with Liquid 3.2?
Secondly, what Gingerbread ROMs do allow Swype Beta to actually work?
Thanks in advance!
Make sure the check mark is on the keyboard in
Settings>Language & Keyboard.
Then on any text-entry window...long press the window until "input method" comes up.
I've ran the Swype beta on liquid... No problem...
And you can get the beta to work on any rom...
If it's a rom with it already installed... All you have to do is uninstall Swype then reinstall your beta...
Maybe try clearing data for it if it's not selecting
We have nothing to feat but running out of beer
Yep, I have the beta. Nope, it would not work on Liquid 3.2, no matter where I selected it (there are at least 3 places you can enable it, and I tried all 3—several times!).
At any rate...got Vortex RC installed, Swype worked just great, and there are some things about it I prefer to Liquid, so I think I'll be sticking with it for awhile.
Thanks for the replies!
Depending on the ROM, you might need to follow the same procedures that are necessary to get the beta working on the stock ROM.

As I said above, I got it working fine in Vortex. If I hadn't, however, it would have been helpful to have provided at least a link to how to get the beta working on the stock ROM.
Tough to do through the xda app.
BTW, I got it working in Liquid.
