EDIT: The keyboard seems to always crash on Mdeejay's Desire HD build v4.0 and I do not know why. Give me some time to sort this out. Thanks
I posted this thread because I didn't see anything similar, maybe someone else doesn't like the sense keyboard too, so I'll just post it.
If you were anything like me, you liked sense, but hated that damned sense keyboard, well I have just bothered to put the stock Android keyboard on my DarkStone Sense V3.1 and it works.
Step 0 (optional) = Download a second keyboard from the Android Market (such as AnySoftKeyboard) so you can still have a keyboard to use if anything goes wrong.
Step 1 = Download the file for the keyboard
Step 2 = Use Root Explorer (I recommend it)(Or whatever else you can make work) to copy the files into the system.
LatinImeGoogle.apk goes into system/app
libjni_latinime.so goes into system/lib
libjni_latinime.so will ask to overwrite the existing file, (it doesn't on some builds) overwrite it, if anything bad happens the original .so is in my backups .rar for you to download.
Step 3 = Long press a text box and hit input method. Android keyboard should be on that list.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I will also attach the original files in case you mess up and are stuck with no keyboard. (I did it... was no fun.)
My edited method leaves you with the HTC keyboard as well (need feedback on what builds do this)

when i try to copy the HTC_IME.apk, any ideas why?
and also this makes me lose the original keyboard too, as the HTC_IME will be replaced by a 0 byte file
Swype, that's the ticket. There's also the XDA-improved HTC keyboard, which is plenty nice
I had the same problem what i did Is that i Navigated to The media folder in the system folder Then i deleted a couple of Ringtones that i don't really use, And that Freed some space for me to copy these files

Try the above named keyboard. My favourite with cursor: just tap 'Edit'!!. Free on market too.

Installing it works pretty much the same way except you have to rename the keyboard file (I think I already did that for everyone in my upload)

You looked in the /system/lib/ folder?
I'm not exactly sure what it does but I do know it is necessary.

Hi all.
I found a working version of the diamond 2 keyboard.
Get it here
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=310L3GYY
It is an early beta, and don't expect it to work. On my phone only qwerty works.
+1 from me as well
Here is a non-stock rom dump for you. It is completely unorganized but all the files are there. You will have to find which files are for the keyboard and pull them out. It does have the keyboard in it you are looking for. Along with a lot of stuff seen on the Diamond/TP 2.

that cab made my keyboard stop working on my diamond? why has this happend
I'm glad I made a backup on my device
I installed the cab found here ppcgeeks and everything works ok on my 2.03 Duttys ROM.
The only drawback is that this Diamond2 Keyboard has its own menu in order to select different language, different keyboard etc (the down arrow menu).
This results to appearance of two menus (one above the other) for selecting keyboard options.
How can we disable the pop up of one of them?
how about latest version this...

All comments in your link say it does not work.
Ok i know many people are in love with the hero keyboard but the problem is the lag. i stopped using it because when i type in landscape mode it just becomes so laggy, it would type and it would take forever for it to catch up. but the thing i love about it, i can use the trackball to select the correct words. there are some "optimized" HTC_IME's that disable the autocorrection but thats stupid, i need the autocorrection. i tried the default keyboard and i actually like it, BUT i cant select words with the trackball, that is important to me. so what keyboard does these things:
1) no lag
2) has autocorrection
3) able to select words with the trackball
4) saving words you enter into dictionary and suggest it first
So basically a "betterkeyboard" with trackball selection.
ive tried betterkeyboard, but it doesnt give me the option to select the autocorrect word, or scroll through them with my trackball, i gotta use my finger and its uncomfortable like that. can anyone recommend an alternative if there even is one? thanks!

HTC default Keyboard on Cyanogen ROM
Hello I’m using the MoDaCo-sapphire Hero image on the MT3G, and it is painfully slow. I was wondering if the default HTC keyboard is usable on any of the Cyanogen builds. If so can anyone point me in the right direction to add it to Cyanogen 4.2.5? I love using any variant of the Hero builds, but they lag, are resource hogs, and my battery becomes mush. I just love their default keyboard which is easier to use, and it should be even faster on a lean ROM such as Cyanogens. Thanks.

Here's the link to the keyboard. Just download it and install it using an app installer. The keyboard is pretty fast, but as the OP said, it lags, but not as bad as hero roms.

yes this is the same one that is giving me issues. man i really wish the betterkeyboards had a scroll selection. any other opinions before i call it quits?
perhaps someone can explain to me how i can install an HTC_IME that has been optimized by eugene. its in his latest ROM, i successfully extracted it but it wont install. im sure i can do it through adb, anyone have the codes?
a suggestion...
I found another one recently which I believe is better with less bugs than betterkeyboard... its called "asoftkeyboard" its free on market... and its got almost every language support...
betterkeyboard started giving me bugs depending on roms and stuff so i tried this.. and absolutely love it... keys are kind of small though...
but try that guys...

Just thought I'd ask - which rom are you using? I don't get any lag with HTC IME.
You should really check out TouchPal from Cooltek. It has all functions you requested.

Will it be possible to install an AOSP keyboard on the EVO? I have one on my Hero, but the only one I could find is a .zip that had to be flashed..... I do not like the Stock keyboard as I find it slow....

"better keyboard" from market = aosp keyboard IMO
Just My 2 cents
As good as I have found better keyboard to be, it's not quite the same as the AOSP one. If you do a xda search for "keyboard aosp" and go to the first link and download the keyboard from that thread you should be good to go. Once you have downloaded the file to your sd card, you can use a program like Astro to install the apk from the .zip. Hope that helps as late as my post is!
You will have to tell sense to use the android keyboard as the new default input. To do that simply open up the keyboard (browser, messaging, whatever) and long press the white space. You will be given the option to switch from there.
New owner here.... Does the HD2 TMobile have it ?? I can't find it on my phone. If it's not on there is there an option to get it.
Thanks
Next to the keyboard image there is an arrow, click that and select Swype.
try that
try this but its a bit buggy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681709&highlight=swype:cool:
original
or this the original one that came with the hd2 which is alot less buggy http://rapidshare.com/files/371694263/Swype.CAB.html
The 2.13 ROM has the best version of Swype ever made to date. I'd suggest using it, as it was made for the TMOUS ROM anyway, and it works better and looks better.

I <3 the new swype
anyone have the cab for this new tmo swype?
can anybody confirm wether the tmous version of swype is stable on a european HD2?
i can't get the new one from the 2.13 rom to work on my euro leo, even though i'm on a tmous based cooked rom.
it doesn't install a program files folder, but it does install a appmgr folder, and doesn't show up in sipchanger or in the keyboard swapper menu.
Latest Swype to be released: http://rapidshare.com/files/387682993/Swype-LordYuz-3.19.20.20.6343.CAB
Confirmed: Previous input bugs are gone, it runs smoothly with no issues (installed to main memory)
swype
here you go guys.. made specifically for hd2 with landscape support..
works perfect on my hd2
Newer version
3.9.10.10.5032 by Lord Yuz was a great release as it resolved the pin code issue for many however it still had flaws such as long key pressing for alternate character.
Mid March LordYuz released the newest Swype (version 3.19.20.20.6343) for the HTC and its much better. Still same to look at however the long key press actually does work EVERY time, it has vibration and sound for keytapping, double tapping for editing words now work in addition you can still use the swype key, and as mentioned it doesnt change your device ID having to make many hard reset their phone.
You can get this version here http://rapidshare.com/files/387678888/Swype.v3.9.20.20.6343-LordYuz.CAB.

Does anyone else find 3.19 much slower than 2.0 though? Especially with a contact with lots of messages, words take a lot longer to appear!

Hi,
Thanks for this. Is there a way to set it to french with affrench keyboard layout?
That would be nice. I tried tapping the SYM key but the only language showing up is EN.

I am currently trying to evaluate two different versions but attempting to install the second one is not possible as I am being prompted to remove the existing Swype program before I can install the second one.

well it's mentioned in the help file. use SYM key and select language... But when I do this the only choice it gives me is english. Are no other languages implemented? If so is there a way to add them ? And if so how can this be done? Using a supplementary cab file? Where can I get such cab file?
Can anybody recommend and alternative keyboard?
I find the HTC Sense and Android keyboards awful to use. Is that just me?
Also, does anybody know of a way to flash the HTC Phone Keypad (the one for text input, not the dialer) onto a vanilla android 2.1 Hero? Or does that rely on Sense?
thnks
kie.
I would also like another alternative for the keyboard, at times it freezes and then suddenly puts several letters all at once. I would try Swype(?) but it doesn't work on 1.5

Sorry, wrong thread!
You could try pushing this (attached file) to system/app via ADB. Not sure if it will work though (I'm guessing it won't tbh.)
Have fun
EDIT:// when you pushed it change the input msg by holding on a text input box and pressing input method.
tnx !! I'll try to install it trough astro manager.
