[05-Mar-09] Welcome to the EzInput 2.0 Keyboard Suite project

Welcome to the EzInput 2.0 Keyboard Suite project.
Ok, the time has come.
HTC has rushed to prepare a pre-release of its EzInput 2.0 technology just in time for the MWC in Barcelona, and we have it here ready for our tweaks, hacks and workarounds.
These are the new layouts - only Phone Keypad and Full Qwerty, this time.

The first WVGA Beta cabs are ready for download, but beware, this is just for experienced users only.
As you'll see, the known issues are a bit annoying, especially if compared to what we're accustomed to with the 1.5 release.
But that said, the huge use of .xml configuration files will probably mean a quite easily customizable experience for all the known form factors.
Update:
Updated files have come out, with a few improvements that need to be checked out. Time for Beta 2.
Take a look !
Downloads - WWE only
WVGA
FullKdb - Phones with Full Keyboard (Nokbd customization will come later, but the cab will work even on NoKbd phones)

HTC EzInput 2.0 Keyboard Suites
Known Issues
Availability of Keypad Layout.
The Keypad layout is available and working, but not selectable using the settings or the old Input Panel.
To select it, you have to use the new SipMenu, included in cab B1.1 and above.
Only the newer phones from HTC can use the SipMenu (Elfin, Diamond, Raphael, Opal, Jade, Blackstone, Iolite).
The layout can be forced - in Portrait mode - using the registry.
Languages Availability and Selection.
Not all languages are available on the pre-release rom.
The Beta2 cab includes English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
There's no way to select them using the standard Input Panel.
To select it, you have to use the new SipMenu, included in cab B1.1 and above.
Only the newer phones from HTC can use the SipMenu (Elfin, Diamond, Raphael, Opal, Jade, Blackstone, Iolite).
The old Language Packs made for V1.5 are *NOT* compatible with V2.0.

Well, it's just to avoid keeping buzzing around Noonski to ask for a new slot every once in a while...

i am ready. lets git-r-done.

What a tease. LOL

Looks great. Installed on Touch Pro and everything worked fine.
In Landscape mode the right hand side is cut off. but not a big deal. Thank you a lot of this, your hard work and for sharing.

Do you mean that WVGA version works in VGA screen without problem

It will work, just the right side of the keyboard is cut off while in landscape mode. but when that is the case you have the keyboard slide out anyways.
On Diamond or in Portrait It works fine. no cut off at all.

Hello,
Great work DupinBJK. Keep it up......
I was more happy, if I was having vga or wvga devices. Anyway cannot wait for qvga.
Thanks and Regrads

AWESOME I have so been waiting for an update. "As you know DB lol Thanks" SOrry for being impatient hope all works well soon. I know COn is helping it will be done soon and will work flawlessly
thanks again

Well, everything seems a bit too much, I have a few issues with the landscape mode on the emulator... when I type on the leftmost or rightmost keys nothing happens.
Isn't it the same for you ?
And anyway, for the form factor: take a look at the xml files - the coordinates and the key codes are no longer inside the .dll, but in an editable file !!
This means that (although it might not be so fully customizable at this stage) we could begin working on a VGA version right now !

In Portrait, are you able to bring the Keypad up ? (I guess nobody has still read the Known Issues )...

SwiftKey Beta is out (IME)

What is SwiftKey?
SwiftKey brings the future of text entry to smartphones. It uses TouchType’s breakthrough Fluency™ technology to predict the next word you want to type, before you even press a key.
Fast
With SwiftKey, your next word is predicted with such incredible accuracy that a third of suggestions are right first time and usually you won’t need to press more than two letters.
Accurate
SwiftKey uses advanced error correction, meaning grammar and spelling errors are a thing of the past. Typing with SwiftKey produces text you can rely on, in a fraction of the time it takes on a regular QWERTY keyboard.
Intelligent
SwiftKey doesn’t just predict regular words – it learns as you type and remembers how you write. As words and sentences are chosen over time, its Fluency™ engine creates a dynamic understanding of your writing style to boost the accuracy, fluency and speed of prediction.

But is it really that much better than the HTC keyboard? I'm not a fan of Swype to be honest. I like tapping much more, especially since I don't always use standard words, which can be annoying with Swype then.
Download:
1. Search for it on the android market.
2. Or use this QR Code:

Thanks for posting this.
I have to say Ive just tried this and it seems very good. Might be my favourite so far out of the Stock keyboard, HTC Mod, and Swype. Time will tell though. Only wrote a few texts with it, but it does seem quick.

So far, I quite like it.
I wish it would stop inserting spaces after punctuation and word selection though.

Other languages than English are supported ?

I like it a lot, also because it can learn from your sms history and HTC IME mod is extremely poor in dictionary.
So far it's working ok, but it needs some fine tuning in the interface and it allows just one language for now!

Was blown away by first message... typed a full sentence and only had to press the first letter of a few words and space bar the rest.
Have been using BetterKeyboard for a while now, but SwiftKey immediately outdoes it's prediction and easier to select other words. Hopefully this takes off and skins are developed etc... keys felt a touch smaller than BK.
edit: "I love you." = , [space], [l], [space], [space] - still has the same meaning

Is there a work around to use two language packs? I need the german language pack for most of my things but like in this forum and for twitter and so on I need the english language pack.
Greetings,
Thomas

brilliant
Love the keyboard! only thing i've noticed so far is that double tap on the spacebar does not put a '.' in

Not that I know about. I uninstalled it quickly after. I still love the Sense keyboard more.
With Sense you can type something like:
gey, egat ere yuu diing ronught?
It will actually manage to fix it to:
hey, what are you doing tonight?

Well, as long as there is no multi language support for this keyboard I will have to switch back to sense too. But I have to say the the Swift keyboard is the best keyboard I tried until now (besides the original keyboard).
Greetings,
Thomas

it' cool very cool.
But it's very boring that add a space every time.
If I want to add a three point I have to cancel the space.

New swype beta what do you think?

I think its much improved it looks better, feels better to use, voice input and alot more accurate.
download the installer from your phone browser from https://beta.swype.com/android/get/ if you are a beta tester to get the latest version...
We're happy to bring you version 2.15.56.14870 of Swype BETA for Android. We've made some pretty fantastic upgrades with this version, including adding some new requested features and addressing some reported bugs. Read on for details...
First and foremost - We've resolved an accuracy issue that was introduced in the last beta update. Refer to the changelog for more detail on this critical fix.
Second - Swype BETA for Android now supports Double-Tap-to-Edit! Swype choose a wrong word? Just tap the word twice to bring up the word choice window, pick the correct word, and the cursor will return to wherever it was before. It doesn't get any simpler! See a
video demonstration
, and check out our other tips and tricks.
And Third - Swype BETA for Android now includes a Voice-to-Text button (available for QWERTY layouts ONLY)! You MUST have Google Voice Search pre-integrated in your ROM for this feature to work. We wish everyone could access it, and are working to adapt our existing code to support versions of Voice Search downloaded from the market, as well as other voice search providers, in our next update.
Users with access to the beta can begin downloading the update immediately by pointing their device's browser to http://beta.swype.com/android/get
Some additional details...
* You'll see much less of that pesky "Hidden Word" popup (though it will still show up once in a while)
* Names from the address book will no longer muscle out all other words for top spot in the word-choice-window.
* NEW SELF-UPDATING INSTALLER! This update includes a new installer with some long-needed feature updates.
o The new installer will self-update when you launch it, if necessary, so you'll NEVER have to uninstall and re-install the installer via our website. Just keep the installer on your device, and launch it periodically - If needed you'll be given the option to update it with just a click.
o We've converted the installation app from an "application" to a "service" so that the Android activity manager and other 3rd party task killers won't end the install process prematurely. That means no more rebooting, swap file, or voodoo witchcraft required!
o The installer now includes a repair function. If for any reason Swype stops working, simply re-launch the installer and you'll be guided through the steps necessary to get Swype running again.

Seems to have solved the issue I had where I would need to switch input methods on a restart to be able to use it. Very happy to finally have French support.
I think that although it is a pretty painless installation, the method is a bit peculiar, I just wish it was more streamlined.

Fixed those annoying pop ups.also runs much smoother. Was almost considering switching to the gingerbread keyboard.

The new version is better, but still likes to pick words from your contacts. I really dislike the pop up which at times drove me to use HTC's keyboard. So far now i can definitely say the accuracy is back compared to the pain it was before.

it didnt work on HD rom though~~

+1...hit or miss on HD...works sometimes and just plays hide-and-seek the rest of the time...

I'd love for it to have a Dutch language option for default. I've read that previous versions used to have this?

What's Next (if possible) from Mrcartagena
- Allowing users to help improve auto-complete dictionary if they choose.
- See if I can integrate live translation of input fields.
- Voice input option from the keyboard
- I'm considering disabling word completion in the free version entirely.
It seems to cause the users quite a lot of confusion.

;( it brought tears to my eyes.... with joy. iphone keyboard i missed you so much
but now i can have you back
thanks

Will there be a german (QWERTZ) version? If so, I would buy the paid version.
Edit // I get a QWERTZ after installing. Great!

I don't really like the style and it's not because it's iphonish. It's because there is something missing, something the iphone guys having the edge on: the details. It looks like someone shi**ed this theme, especially the notepad thing... (Sorry for the unnessecary lanuage). It's like many other apps for Android, they are always made without love. There are not more than 50 apps in Android Market which are made with nice graphics and much time/love.
This one is clearly not one of that 50 apps...

TouchPal Keyboard Highlights:
** TouchPal Curve **
TouchPal Curve is the next generation of swiping technology. It brings prediction to sliding. In Swype, you have to slide the complete word, and you’ll easily get lost with long words. Using the Predictive Sliding technology in TouchPal Curve, you may pause in the middle of a word to get prediction. You can slide only a very small part to finish a long word.
