Certain things I actually like about the stock android keyboard. Does anyone have a link to an apk?
Man Im in the same boat I started a thread in the G2 forums to get it I was given some but no apk's work =(
I got one that actually shows but force closes and I would really love for someone to help us out here

Did you install it using a file manager or push it to /system/app? On my mt3g I had issues with jonasl's touch input keyboard force closing when i tried to push it to system when it was intended to be installed like a regular apk.
Make sense?
I used astro file manager ....how is the other way to push it?

Some keyboards have to be in /system/app and others need to be installed traditionally. That might be your issue.
yeah i havent had any luck yet with the stock android keyboard. but it doesnt support multi touch does it? but if u download smart keyboard in the market they have an android skin that kinda looks like the stock android keyboard. u might wanna try that.
I use ultra keyboard. Looks like the android keyboard but with multi touch. Plus you can customize the **** out of it. Great solution.

Is there any keyboard that will actually work, that i can calibrate and it wont freeze when im typing fast.
I put HTC_IME mod keyboard and it was alright until it froze constantly, swype requires me to look at the screen and the " android keyboard" is simply horrible.
can anyone link me to a keyboard similar to 2.1 that actually works for CM6?
Thank you

Smart Keyboard (Pro Version) is the best I've found so far. Try the free version and upgrade if you like it to get T9 capability. Can you post the apk file for that HTC_IME mod? I'd like to try that out!
@ Puffdaddy_d ; i'd be glad to if i still have it in my sd
And thanks ill try it, where can i get it ? ( too lazy to search or anything haha )
edit: nevermind found it in market
and i posted the .apk for you.
Thank you very much for the apk! I'll give it a try. Let me know if Smart Keyboard works out for ya!

I wonder if that HTC keyboard mod is really designed for the CDMA hero running froyo? It FC's the moment I try to load it. That sounds more like a complete incompatibility issue rather than being just "buggy". Do you know where you got it from?
My friend has database filled with apps and he put it on my phone via adb, it works just buggy actually.

Just tried installing this using an install manager instead of adb push and it's working flawlessly so far! I've got my HTC Keyboard BACK!!!
Too bad I can't get my $4 back from the market...
Better Keyboard works great. I think its 2 bucks on the market
try SwiftKey Beta, it's free and actually works on CM6 (I'm using it now!)
Hi,
I got a HTC Wildfire and am having a very hard time typing on the on screen keyboard, i am finding the buttons a bit to small and it causes me to type words incorrectly, i do use the spell checker and word suggestion but still could do with a decent keyboard app, perhaps one that has bigger buttons.
Can anyone recommend a good app that may meet my needs?
Thanks
MR
you should try swype. ive been using it since i bought HTC, my wildfire =)
have smart keyboard now, with openfire, I like that one! Think it costs 1-2$ though
Hi,
I looked for Swype and cannot find it on Android Market / App Brain.
I would love to try it, anyone got a link for it?
Thanks
MR

cant search it from the market also =/
Swype, better keyboard, slide it, thumb keyboard (search for it on xda), swift key, 8 pen (on xda)
Swype for wildfire
i can't remember where i got this from, i think here on xda. but you are looking for
SWYPE_1.54.28.7337_QVGA_LSmo_by_Maruban.apk. this works a treat on my wildfire
my wildfire had swype on it as standard and i was gutted when i flashed wildpuzzle and found i had lost it, so was chuffed to find a version that worked
there's another keyboard app called "slideIT" u can get the demo from market =). Supports many languages input too. Try it out =D

I don't know why you would want the stock one when it doesn't even have multi-touch...
Just install smartkeyboard pro, it looks exactly like the stock keyboard but with multi touch, plus some other goodies.

thats probably why the stock android keyboard doesnt work. it doesnt support multi touch lol i never would have thought that.
s10shane I did that also and it force closed but its not because of the multitouch because the g2 has a multitouch chip and still runs it..

I may be missing something, but I believe my 4g already has the stock keyboard -- you just press and hold in any text input field, choose "Input Method", and select "Touch Input" -- that seems as close to a stock android keyboard as any I've seen.
I just installed it as well. I like the options it gives for customization but the prediction doesn't match htc's. At least not with changing the settings I have found.
I like sense's keyboard and how it shows the suggested words as I am typing. Skpro doesn't seem to have that option.
I'm willing to keep smart keyboard just because it wasn't that expensive but I may need longer to appreciate it.

Is it possible to have for example the Swype keyboard while having the phone in the normal position and then having it switch to another keyboard while in landscape ??
I know it is possible if phone is rooted...

Actually, there was an article on XDA's home page about a member who created an app that does just that. You'll have to search though.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro. Works great for me.
On a related note, you know how when you switch to landscape the keyboard basically uses the whole screen (as in you only see the type to compose line and the keyboard itself)..well, is there a way to change or modify that so at least ill be able too see something over the type to compose screen?
Its really sucky when im on the msn app or sms app and i have to hide the keyboard ib order to see what was last sent to me

Wondering if anyone's ever seen a metamorph/flashable zip Swype theme that resembles Gingerbread (black and green). I'm on the latest official beta, not sure if older themes will flash over without breaking anything, so yeah. Swype is literally the only part of my phone that doesn't look like Gingerbread.
Thanks :]
Not that this is any help but i know that looks on a rom called liberty for the droid x there is a swype keyboard that looks Exactly like the gingerbread keyboard. Its amazing so ill try and extract it from rom
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Any updates on this? I oddly enough have a DX and D2 but am using a different rom and I'd rather not switch just for the themed keyboard.
I im currently working on this. But can anyone tell me where to locate the swype apks in phone I can't find them in data/app

Unfortunately this discussion is in danger of breaking the rules regarding Swype. We can't allow the discussion or posting of standalone Swype APK's.
