What is a good keyboard for X10?
I am using shapewriter right now, it is pretty good, but i am not too used to that way of typing.
Any other good keyboard are ppl using?

HTC IME seems popular.. but I'm using SlideIT.. which I love.

HTC_IME is good. Swype is better!

I can't find swype on the market.

you have to download the .apk from their website. just google swype. also, swype isn't working. I really like the look of the keyboard, but it just doesn't want to work unless I type letter by letter. Shapewriter works fine though, hmm..

yeah I have both the hacked HTC keyboard and Swype, at first I used the HTC one all the time, but now Swype is the only way to go. It's SO fast and "intelligent," seriously everyone should install it and give it a go

anyone can give me a link for downloading HTC_IME, and how can I install it?
the tutorials....hehhehe
THX

I'm typing on the swype keyboard right now.
Use the motorola droid apk. Works with the x10. That's what I'm using since you can no longer download it on the swype website.

Hi,
Where did you download yours? And what version are you using?
I went to their website but the beta testing is closed due to overwhelming responses.
I googled it and found a site hosting this file, so I downloaded it to test it.
My version is 1.25.16.5612 and I am sure this is not the latest beta version as mine seemed a bit buggy at times. But so far I am enjoying the swype!

i've tried many different keyboards and there isn't one that i fully fully like. currently i'm using swype, my favorite out of the few that i've tried (original android, HTC, and better keyboard)

Here is the thread that contains the APK for anyone interested.

My version is the same as yours. I too had a little problem with the keyboard crashing on me with a select few letter combinations. I was trying to teach it cuss words, and swype crashed when i tried to enter "pu**y". Had to turn off the "Word Prediction" option. I also disabled "Tip Indicator". Since the little tweek, it's been smooth sailing for me. I hope it helps you. Good luck.

Just downloaded swype and its fantastic. I'm amazed at the accuracy.

[Q] New here, can't get a keyboard working

I'm running Cyanogen 2.2 and am trying to install the HTC Ime Keyboard - I'm able to change the "input method" to it but then when i click anywhere to type the keyboard won't open. Help!

The only one I could get to work was the 1.5 version which is without voice input.

A better keyboard app?

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

Keyboard for Desire [Suggestion Requested]

Hi guys I'm looking for a good Keyboard for my rooted/s-off Desire. i'm currently on insertcoin HD 2.0 A2SD rom.
Preferably a free Keyboard
Pls suggest.

Why don't you get the Stock HTC.IME keyboard? I think it's the best keyboard around, and I tried alot, Swiftkey, Betterkeyboard, gingerbread keyboard...

I tried a lot of keyboard, swiftkey, better keyboard, smart keyboard, gingerbread keyboard but the best for me is htc ime mod with theme.

HTC_IME_mod themed - best!

You can't beat Swype, as far as I know the beta is still open so you can get it for free.

I vote for swiftkey... not free but I prefer it to the HTC one

Swype, once you get the hang of it it works wonders, hunt and peck typing seems primitive now.

I'll go for the stock gingerbread keyboard.
I think it's very personal. Try the keyboards

htc ime mod with theme

Swiftkey is a good keyboard but hasn't t9 keyboard with HTC IME mod I can switch qwerty to T9 keyboard with a slide

Modded swype keyboard by Eskodroid.
Perfect for me.

now I don't use htc ime but I stumbled across a kitchen
Where you can make a themed one. Its from the nexus one
Forums but should work on the desire :

For me the best is Swiftkey, althought the stock HTC is also very good.

Slide it, not free but well worth the few quid.

The creator is a DEV named Adbirdie, if you check the Desire Android Development section of the Desire forum, check for a ROM called StarBurst, browse through that thread, on that thread there is a link to all the HTC IME MOD keyboards. Don't forget to thank the DEV.

Not free but i love Swiftkey personally, think it is well worth the money.
Swype is good if you can get it.
Other than those i find the stock keyboard pretty good

SwiftKey is the way to go atm, it is slick, smart and pretty much da bomb with predictions.
If you want cool looking bot for fast typing and serious writing keyboard go with Slide It

If you a laid back typer like me touchpal is an excellent option. I'm not a fan o QWERTY in portrait mode think that's the reason I stay from swift

The htc ime is the best

I use TouchPal. Disable TouchPal curve and then you have swipe down symbols which is a stroke of genius.

I've been using Swype for the last two years, works like a charm!
I'm trying out the SwiftKey Flow Beta right now, seems even more intuitive, although there's a few tidbits I prefer in Swype.
I guess it all comes down to whether you prefer actual typing or swyping though.

I like Kii Keyboard. Much more settings. Support Swipe method input.

use voice engine
the best thiing is using skyvee app:laugh:

Swype
Swype is my favorite. I've tried several gesture keyboards and I find that swype cares the least about how I swype. I also love the "ctrl+c" and "ctrl+v" ability.

At this moment i think that Swiftkey Keyboard is the best choice.

For me the best of all is the swype.

If you're bilingual like me, check out Swype, fast switching with one touch, but don't install versions 1.4, they tend to be sluggish, 3.26.92.39062 is the way to go
As for swift key, doesn't really work well with two languages.

I am using swift with 3langs, German, Turkish and English and it is working well, I am using the same layout for all and have not to switch between the languages.
