Im using Desire Sense - BluteTopia and i really love this build. Of course I dont like the HTC sense keyboard. I want to know how i can put the keyboard that comes with stock froyo as this keyboard is much better than the sense one. But i also have the apk for the Droid X keyboard as well. Any link or directions would be awesome thanx .

Can I install HTC Sense or at least the htc keyboard on mytouch with a cyanogenmod rom?
Sense is not something you can install, you need to flash a Sense ROM to get it.
About the keyboard, give this one a try. I think it should work.
thanks, actually I was able to install the htc keyboard.
Could not believe how much better that keyboard is!
I really miss it, is there a substitute?
You can get the HTC IME mod for 2.2 now. Works except for voice.
look under the apps bit

Thank you!
The evo4g uses a slightly modified keyboard optimized for the giant screen that it has. Since the hd2 has a similarly giant screen and lacks the trackpad/ball the addition of those arrow keys from the evo keyboard would be quite welcome.
Anybody know where to find the evo's keyboard? also is it sense specific or can it be added to a generic froyo build?

Ive tried pushing it, and just installing it. I tried the odex and deodex version and it just force closes. Ended it just buying smart keyboard pro.
I found one and didn't have any luck installing it either. I do find the swiftkey beta in the market is very close in functionality to the htc keyboards. That's the one I use when I'm not using swype.
it worked on darkstone old eclair sense...
smart keyboard pro has arrow keys
Im pretty sure you need the lib *.so file that goes with the keyboard, I installed the Droid 2 keyboard and it would force close until I inserted the .so file into the system/lib/ directory.
Go to the Evo forum and see if you can get an apk packaged to install rather than messing with your system files. It is Sense specific by default: Froyo uses a different default keyboard. I was able to get Swype which shipped with the Evo to install on my darkstone Android build.
Did you managed to find the keyboard files? Please share if so! Thank you!

I spent a while hunting for this last night. Found a bunch of Evo keyboard apks, most of which refused to install & many of which needed to be flashed as an update zip - which I don't believe we can do currently. I tried overwriting the htc_ime.apk & .obex in system/apps & managed to get a garbled version with arrows working - attempts to fix it borked my HTC keyboard entirely.
Found a worthwhile solution though - the Jonas HTC keyboard mod lets you use the volume buttons as arrow keys.

Does anyone know if the Droid 2 keyboard or the Droid x Keyboard has been ported and possible to be used on our Hd2?
The multitouch Droid 2 keyboard works, see the really obvious topic on the subject in this same forum.

Checkout smart keyboard pro in the market. It has multitouvh plus tons of other options.
Hey all,
i briefly used the multitouch keyboard from the droid x in opendesire. Now i'm not bothered by the multitouch, but the colour scheme i adore.
so the question is, is there a theme for the htc and android keyboard, to look the same/similar? as i said not bothered about multitouch, I know people are trying to port to desire 2.2 but i more concerned about these colours on the stock keyboards. As i'm more concerned about being able to apply the skin to any Roms i choose as they will all use the stock keyboards Thanks
TIA
Luke.
yea there way a thread that you can upload your keyboard to and customize it online. im really sorry but i cant reamember the site its deff in here somewere tho. i hope this helps?
Hi,
im New to android. Ive had my X10 for like.... less than a month... but Ive been flashing roms like hell (Currently on WB's Arc CM6) .... but the thing ive noticed is that for every rom I tried, none seemed to have the original S.E. keyboard. (the White One. With the smileys... THE DEFAULT.) Ive grown tired of the android keyboard and better keyboard 8.... I want the old one. Is it possible to use the old one in 2.2? Specifically WolfBreak's ROM. If Yes then how could I install it? Is there a .zip?
Thanks.
I'm not sure whether it will run or not, maybe any user can upload it.
In the start, i too missed the 2.1 keyboard. However, I'd not recommend that keyboard since it is slow when you become a fast typist and there's not much functionality in it. try Smart Keyboard Pro. You have easy access to symbols (long-press), a fast input support, smiley via long-press Return etc, along with themes and other stuff.
Stock 2.1 keyboard will not appeal to you anymore once you get used to it. Do try

Thanks for the Reply. i tried Smart Keyboard seems to be great and all, but I really want the Old 2.1 Keyboard. Just for kicks.. =))
Which keyboard? The one before or after the dualtouch update? There was a recent update and they upgraded the keyboard from the ugly grey one to a slightly better looking white keyboard. Is that the one your talking about?
Or is it the android 1.6 one?
Keep in mind that there are way better keyboards out there and there is no need to be using this crap. I am currently using slideIT and you get to swype like those samsung guys get to. Its very functional and fun.

I too miss the 2.1 keyboard. I kinda really really like it. I've tried so many other kb but still miss the SE stock one...
