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

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.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660192&page=2
@onuris21
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.

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!
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
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

where to get this HTC IME etc?
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

For me the best is Swiftkey, althought the stock HTC is also very good.
Slide it, not free but well worth the few quid.

For typing in non english i usse smartkeyboard pro. The customisation on that keyboard is endless. For english i usually use swype just cos i'm in the beta and its fun hehe.
Hope this helps

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
Hi guys, great forum with some great tips.
Just got my xperia play and love it to bits.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I find the keyboard very inaccurate and slow to respond.
When I compare it to my previous Iphone and HTC desire it seems poor.
Any suggestions for tweeking or any options for downloading another keyboard.
Thanks in advance
Chris
Swype
Takes a bit of getting used to swyping but you can also just use it normally to type and its much more accurate than the stock keyboard
im having the same issues , i tried gingerbread keyboard lite which was much more accurate but i was a constant running process in the backgroung using around 30mb , i wish there was a way to edit the stock xperia play keyboard i.e button size height and load a custom user dictionary, yes there are other keyboards like smart, better or swype but really sony should update / fix the stock one.
anyone know if once youve installed a 3rd party keyboard can you safely remove the stock one if rooted and not encounter any problems ?.......
SwiftKey is better to use then the stock keyboard. It just takes a bit of time to get use to.

How's the consensus on HTC_IME keyboard?
I remember it was all the rage when the X10 was released but I haven't been annoyed with the stock keyboard (yet) to give it a try.

I personally hate the htc keyboard..I always used alternate keyboards when I had my HTC.
I use swiftkey, while a tad too busy for my taste, it works damn well once you set it up to your liking. The arrow keys make me not miss my trackpad, and the numberpad-style number page is awesome.
I started using one of the Iphone keyboards.
Find it much better though still not as good as my Iphone.
I just paid for number pad a t9 keyboard its fantastic

Use swype its only best ever.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
yesss... swype is the best.. just installed it yesterday. very accurate and its free..
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.

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 :/

Hello fellas, I was wondering if I could get some feedback based on people's experience on which could be the best alternative keyboard for an x10?
I'm using the default one with wolfbreak 6.0s and it is laggy for ne most of the time.
All suggestions would be really appreciated, thanks in advance!

Swype beta rocks. Using it on WB 6.0. Doesn't seem to be many issues.

I like Swype and also swiftkey x
I use Swype Beta... And its working pretty well... The only thing, is when it is your first time using it, you are going to find it a bit difficult... But when you get used to it, you are going to type fast...
Ahhh I found out why the keyb was lagging! I just tried removing prediction and autocorrects and now this is blazing fast!
But anyway, I would like to try something new just to see how's better!
