I remember using the HTC keyboard for my OG Droid. Can you use the HTC keyboard, say from the Incredible on the DX? I can't remember where to d/l it from, I think it was on XDA. Is anyone using the HTC_IME keyboard on the DX?
I tried getting it from here: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/07/22/download-htc-ime-keyboard-for-droid-x/
The htc_ime keyboard installs but wont open, I get FC errors? Anyone know how to properly install it? I just used astro to install the apk, and went into the my phones settings and clicked on this keyboard. When I go to write a text or enter a url in the browser, etc. I get a keyboard FC?
Same here... I don't think it's been further developed

I am sorry if this has been posted and answered already. I am trying to get the Droid X keyboard on my Fascinate. I have put the apk file on my SD card. I plug my Fascinate from my Macbook Pro, and go into Astro File Manager. I click on the apk file, open it, and it says "Uninstall" and "Launch". When I click uninstall, it begins to do so then it says "Uninstall was not successful." When I click launch, it says "Activity was not found." It doesn't give me a choice to install the apk file. Then I try with Apps Installer, when I click it it says "Application Not Installed."
So basically I can install apk files on my Samsung Fascinate. I have also made sure to download the apk file that is for Android phones running 2.1 Eclair. I also tried this with the Samsung Keypad that is the standard keypad that is on all the Galaxy S phones (go to Youtube and search "Samsung Captivate keyboard options"...it is the keyboard shown 0:20 to 0:53) but for some reason it isn't on the Fascinate. I love that keyboard so I am trying to get it on the Fascinate but that is also not working.
Can someone help please?
Basically same results here I'm getting:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]
when trying to install using adb. I'm assuming the current keyboard on the phone is using the same name as the DroidX one wants to use..
Being a recent Better Keyboard convert, I would recommend installing that. It appears to be well worth the $2.99, when compared to the stock Fascinate keyboard (blech).

I'm starting to like Swype quite a lot, but it does take a bit getting used to.
Has anyoen figured this out?
Not sure if it's possible. Mainly because they are different resolutions. The D2 and DX are 854x480, while the Fascinate is 800x480. Plus, it sounds like they are the same name, and I have no idea how or what you would need to re-name.
I have it installed and am using it right now, you need to use root explorer and put it in system/apps, click it and install.
I'm liking the HTC IME keyboard on my fascinate. The hi res version works really well.

Ditto. I've been using Swype, Better Keyboard, Swiftkey, And Ultra KB. HTC is free and customizable as it gets.
I am using the Multi Touch keyboard NoW ThaNKs. I love it.

Anyone else getting force closes? I installed properly, but once you reboot and if your using the DX keyboard you will get force closes, any known fixes?

I have the same issue
I have this issue as well. What I did to stop that is really a temp fix. Just change the input method to another keyboard before you reboot it. When it boots back into the OS and you have that keyboard active the processes call for things that are specific to the Droid X that the Fascinate doesnt have. Until someone codes it correctly for the Fascinate you will get those force closes.
Actually, nobody is installing the DX keyboard properly.

Try that. Installs via clockwork.

Will this stop the force closes?
That stinks. I hate clockwork, had it on my eris and meh.
Hi everyone,
I recently got a GT but I've been having some problems using the "search" functions on websites.
For instance, here on XDA, whenever I try to use the "search this thread" the following happens:
1) the input box for entering text appears then,
2) the keyboard pops up for a second then,
3) the input box disappears, so I can't enter anything. [frustrating!]
I have tried this on multiple browsers (Stock, xScope and Dolphin HD) and on different sites and the same problem regardless of if I use the Samsung or Swype keyboards.
I have no similar issues using these browsers on my HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G) or Nexus One.
One thing I notice, is that whenever the keyboard pops up, there are "Prev." and "Next" tabs right above the keyboard. I am not sure if those "extra" tabs are accidentally causing the browsers to resize the pages thereby shutting down the input text box.
Any ideas?
Also, why does XDA always show up jumbled in portrait view?
Thanks!~
:nudge:

The Tab can't handle these types of windows where they are a window within a window.
However, there is an easy solution.....
What you must do is when you click on the 'Search this Forum' or 'Search this Thread' boxes you must then click on where it says 'Advanced'.
This will then open up a new window where you can then type in your search request.
Regarding Portrait not showing correctly ~ I have no issues with the xda-devs web site in Portait mode. It must be a setting you have.
Thanks. Maybe it is a setting I have in my user cp since that's all I can thunk it might be. I will try your.suggestion.

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S, especially with 'xda 2010' theme and the drop down search boxes, i have tried a few different keyboards (Samsung, Gingerbread, Smart keyboard pro, HTC IME mod) the only one that works with the drop down boxes is HTC IME mod, you might want to give that a try. I have just done a quick search and i am not sure if it has been modded for the Tab?

If it works could you please leave me a vote of thanks..... but I stress, only if you feel it deserves it. The Thanks votes must only be used if someone has assisted or helped an individual in some form or another.
For each vote of thanks I receive my nurses are authorized to remove £10 from my wallet to go to charity.
What version of HTC ime mod are you using. I tried v.27 hi and keep getting fc. Do you have a link to the apk?
Thanks.

I use Firefox for Android and seems to work far better on sites that all the other mentioned browsers have problems with. Including this site. Firefox is still a beta but it works well enough for me on my Tab.
So I've got a Nook running CM7....I signed up for the Swype beta and installed Swype on the nook but it says that it is running on a device it isn't meant to run on and that some functionality won't work...
I give it a try and everything works if you type normally, but if you swype, there are ZERO words in the dictionary so it errors everything you write because it doesn't know any words...
Ideas? SlideIT sucks.

Theres a whole thread already devoted to this. I'd link but I'm not at my computer. Just do a search, there's a link to an .apk that will work with the nook.
You could try the Amazon app stores free app for today, flext9 keyboard. In my opinion its better than slideIt and has some added functions that swype doesn't.

This.
Swype failed last night for me but lo and behold, Amazon comes through for the Freemium.
Okay, so i've had swype installed on my phone since i installed the latest stable cm7. Everything went fine. I rebooted my phone today and all of a sudden swype just stopped functioning. When i swype, a blue outline appears around the keyboard. I tried reinstalling the app from the installer and making a whole new account, but the blue outline remains or it says that the keyboard is configured for a different device. Any help will be appreciated, i can't live without my swype.
Thanks advance!

Go into the setting, then language and keyboard, then make sure swype is checked. Then change the input method to swype, and it should work. On the latest CM7 nightly and no problems.
Yea, i did that. I've been using the keyboard for quite some time. It just won't work anymore. When i try to swype, a blue outline around the keyboard appears and nothing is outputed

Okay for future reference for others. I fixed it. After you install and it generates the license, click back, then enable manually. It works perfectly after that.

I'm looking for a Sense themed keyboard .apk to sideload into my Nook. I really don't like the stock keyboard anymore with the Nook and I had a custom keyboard on my old HTC Hero a while back. Anyone know of one or anyone use another keyboard that they can recommend to me? I looked around but didn't see anything on the forums. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, for some reason it won't let me delete this. I'll move it to Q & A so if the MOD wants to delete it, that's fine.
You could just search for a sense theme in the play store, or find a theme for a third party keyboard like GO keyboard
