Is there a better keyboard that I can keep from 1.6 to 2.1 ?
I've had an HTC and a Samsung and both let me select the old stand by 3x4 keyboard with predictive text.
I'm looking for that.
Ok I found a fix.
I wish I could take screen captures so this is the best I can do.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I used this package, created here on XDA by member http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2150306
I DL'd the RAR file
Unpacked it
I only used HTC_IME_hi.apk file and disregarded the clicker_APK
Bluetoothed it to my 2.1 X10A
Checked " unknown sources" under Applications/Settings
Astro walked me thru the rest in 3 seconds, Then installation took 4 seconds.
I know have the 3x4 phone pad keyboard I prefer.
Enjoy.
Oh predictive text is a billion times better as the suggested words are bubbles that you can click, there is also a "Check mark" in that row that will expand to all suggested words with "Add a word" button right there for you to use.
TOTAL WIN.
You must be able to install 3rd party apps as this is NOT available on the market.

I posted about this forever ago in the Rhodium forum. Never got an answer or any replies, no +1's, nothing.....
Now we have a couple hd2's and so i bring it to leo forum attention:
is a way to cut down the space in the typing area. See screen shot. Any ideas how to edit this?

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Looking at your screen pic, you are pressing return/enter key after you type each word. (key near bottom right).
Yeah no kidding. That was to show my point. Take out all those words and the typing space remains as big as it is there in that screen shot. Its like they set the typing space to 5 or 6 lines before it expands, when it should be set to 1 typing line and expand as needed.
If I remember right, the tilt2 or the fuze this was a reverse problem, meaning there werent enough lines, and someone found that I think it was in the .css file there was a setting to change to make the box bigger, maybe its the same setting. I dont have the time right now, but I'll look later, but do a search in google for htc sms box enlarge setting, if you have trouble finding it, I'll see later and post a link.
Any way its possible to port? It really looks good
Also, i've already looked on the forum but havent found anything...

EDIT:
Right now here is the current state of porting the Droid X multi-touch keyboard to all users:
2.1 Eclair-based Roms: only thing not working is vibrate, auto-captilization,auto-correct errors. Dictionary works, you can check by typing something in an app and in the suggestion window u'll see a corresponding word from ur dictionary. http://www.mediafire.com/?jmllywoz51h
2.2 Froyo-based Roms: all thats not working on eclair + can't type anywhere it tries to suggest words, like the messaging body. Also voice doesnt work. http://www.mediafire.com/?rmqzyo0ifzk
Future-fix possibilities:
• Vibrate (I dunno i cannot find the link where they've added their stuff)

Thanks for posting this. I was looking through it and discovered how to only show existing contacts with facebook integration. It is under settings, applications, people, then you will see the option.

Yes! Thanks for the link and the post.
Thanks, I've added it to the wiki
If you have the "en" on your on-screen keyboard

and want to remove it.
Go to
Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Languages -> Remove check marks from everything except one language. (e.g. Check "English Only")
Definitely enjoyed the extra spacebar room, and did not get tired of accidentally turning my keyboard into French mode. Dunno how it is for AT&T customers, but if you'd like to add the "EN" button and the ability to change languages on the fly just do what I said in reverse (Check more than one language)
Hi Guys,
I hate opening this thread but after doing search after search for 3 days straight now i was left with no choice.
I recently had to swipe out clean my SD card, I re installed everything again including my vesion of SWYPE which at one point in the past it had the Mic Icon funtion.
Now its not on my keyboard under the freash install. A while back I had ran into a webpage were it simply showed you how to added to the keyboard which depending on your software version it was hidden. it was something like Press Space, something, something and Viola!!!!
Does anyone know the settings to put the mic on my keyboard? I should have saved that webpage, but now am frying my brain digging endlessly online. Any help would be appreciated.
Fyi... This is my current Swype Version: swype_with_mic_english_only_2.4.44.10912.t100apk
Thanks
Latest swype includes the Mic "Swype WVGA 2.10.52.13753" do a google search to get it

I have found a little unconvenient thing on Android. Do you like to use virtual keyboard? I hate it. I'm blind writer on my laptop qwerty keyboard but the flat screen kb is minus 10 years.
The situation worst when you have to type words twice or more. Especially when you are searching something but you mess up one caracter.

In the search history you can see your previous (messed up) word but there is no possibility to edit them because when you click on it, your browser start to search it again.
On a desktop browser you can modify anithing in the borwser (or search) history list. Android should have this feature as well.
My theory solution is:
When you press and hold your tap on the search history item, the string moves to the search bar and you are able to modify it. And a simple click just search it just before.
Am I the only one who miss this?
I agree, I have this problem on market. Even if there is what you want on the search history with a small mistake or 2 words with no space, you cant edit it. Its realy annoing.
