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

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.

So I'm having incredibly trouble using HTC_IME on my phone... I tried v27 and v23 of Jonas' keyboard and it wouldn't work, I even used one of the newer hd ones I found elsewhere from a couple months ago, still no luck. They all install perfectly fine but when I try to use them they just force close before even opening up.
Is there another 'free' compact qwerty keyboard I can use that works on the play? I really like the HTC_IME and would like to get it back, but I'm having horrible luck.
Any suggestions? Need more specifics? Let me know if you can help!
Im using the htc_ime_mod from gimpsta.com now works fine on my play, i used the v2.7 hi res froyo kitchen

Thanks a bunch, worked like a charm!

SwiftKey ftw
Swiftkey X beta is my favourite keyboard, the autocorrect and predictive text gets better the more you use it. Most intelligent keyboard i've ever used...almost too inteligent

Have you ever tried just hitting space a bunch of times to see what sentence it comes up with?
does the original gingerbread keyboard work on the play?
Slideit works awesome too

Swype is free on their website atm

+1 for swype its works alot better than the standard keyboard and its cool to use too
There are a couple of themed HTC_IME mod keyboards for gingerbread which also work on the XPlay on these forums.
The only problem with it is that the calibration tool force closes.
Thanks for the heads up on SwiftKey X beta, better than the original.
Just an FYI for anyone wondering. I was able to install Swype 3 Beta, despite the indication not to.
On their website it indicates that you should not install on any devices that had Swype pre installed.
I had no problems after uninstalling Swype via Titanium and proceeding with their inStall process

Any benefit for Swype 3 over what we have on our Epics right now?
Ummmm, not necessarily, it handles things just a bit smoother though, I've been digging swype as of lately because I'm on EE03 so the kb lag throws me off quite a bit, but other than that, not too much of a gain, not too much added to the options menus.

Hmmm well thank you. One thing I'd like is the ability to tap and still have autocorrect... like FlexT9, but FlexT9 won't let you Swype for the ! and ? which REALLY bothers me.

I've been using flex t9 for several weeks and I found the prediction engine frustrating at times.
I do like the new predicted word bar like in t9, much easier and more intuitive.

You might try SlideIT keyboard
You might try SlideIT keyboard. Available on the Market for almost a year and works very much like "Swype" - in fact, I prefer SlideIT, which seems to accommodate for the eccentricities of my texting technique better than Swype... http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Download/

it has this now... kinda like the gb keyboard
I just tried downloading it from an external source (because the Swype beta registration email would not send, no matter how many times I requested a new one) and upon installation, I was bombarded with a never ending barrage of Force Close missiles until I went into System App Remover and killed it and restored my previously uninstalled but backed up stock Swype..

I've used that, but I don't like it as well because it's built-in dictionary is not as good so when you swipe on their app, the right word doesn't always come up.
Edit: Swype 3 is pre-installed on the EF02 GB Leak rom.
Not only I t a beta its higher than the beta ef02s swype is 3.4

I just installed Swype and am using it for the first time. I am so impressed that I needed to make a post about it.
The thing is freaking amazing. Seriously good.
Anyone else using it at the mo?
Yep... It's installed out of the box on galaxy s series handsets, but I love it and can barely use a standard keypad anymore so I got the beta for my cm installation..

Used to use it on my Galaxy S but not a fan tbh, tried it on my play and still MUCH prefer Swiftkey X, Swiftkey X is easily the best Keyboard for Android
I don't see it in the market. I see SMS to swipe, Word Swide and Gem Swype.
is it any of these?
Nope, it's a program on public beta. It's preloaded in the Samsung Android phones. Here you can download it: http://swypeinc.com/ After downloading the installer you just have to follow the steps it tells you.
It's mighty awesome, enough that Sony is including a Swype-lookalike (T9) in the 2.3.4 update in October. You can find similar keyboards in the market like SlideIT keyboard.

Select Beta and follow instructions.
It is a pain in the arse to download, but trust me, well worth it.
Thanks Guys
I will do that tonight. I'll try the internal PSX emu also.
Not enough hours in a day when you have kids.
BTW Another Awesome thing is the Captain America live wallpaper. It is very cool.

I am now of the opinion that all swipe-like keyboards are vastly superior by default after using Swype. The difference is as large as texting on the old numeric keypads versus typing on a qwerty keyboard.
Absolutely no way could I go back to a bog standard qwerty touchscreen keypad with no swipe feature !

Tried beta 1, then switched to swype and stayed with swype.
no idea why but it sometimes lags and the words aren't really accurate either.. adding a new word to the user dictionary is a PITA..
Swift key x, ftw
I was using swype but my beta version got over after a month :/

All SWYPE keyboard users, a new version is available for ICS. Nuance has purchase them so it has incorporated DragonGO into SWYPE. It allows for dictation.
You'll have to be a Beta user to get it.

Sweet thanks. I'll sign in and download it.

This version of Swype is WAYYY better than the stock one that came with the phone.

My only complaint with swype (which is a very small complaint) is i wish there were downloadable themes like go keyboard ect.

Thanks for the update. Using it now and all is great. Love swype. Now they just need to make a tablet version, i.e. one that has split keys....Not sure how that would work with swype....hmm

I tried it out with build 16 of the branch that will be CM9 installed... worked quite well, just didnt' care of the little keyboard that comes up in the notification area. Didn't have a chance to research what it was about as I had to swap back to an old rom for a while. But I definitely make sure I install swype on any rom I install.

Yeah, whenever I get a notification, I'm never able to actually update through the preferences.
Like the other person said, uninstalling and going through Swype Installer again always works.
DragonGO!
I just love SWYPE, it's something iPhone don't have and they envy Android users. "Hey, how can you text so fast". I said, "chicken plucking is soooo typewriter days"
Anyone tryout DragonGO!, it's not that bad of an Apps.
Swype work for me in ICS Passion V13 without any problem, the bad think is the process of installing this new version, is very tedious.
anyway, another thing i could seen is that swype can retrieve any data swiped in your phone, says, password, credit card number, and other data. I cannot afford that.
I use my regular Keyboard. Swype is a very good keyboard!
