I *really* like the HTC keyboard input method. Has anyone been able to get this to work on non-HTC devices? I also have Swiftkey X Tablet -- but I hafta say, responsiveness, word suggestion - etc - I really like, got used to, my HTC (evo 4g) keyboard and would like to use it on the NC.
Here's the HTC keyboard from the HTC Evo: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=72S370Y5

Does anyone have an idea or thinks HTC will launch HTC Touch HD with QWERTY and call it HTC Touch HD Pro?
Anyway, that would be my perfect phone. I was about to buy HTC Touch Pro but when HTC Touch HD came out, I kinda relaxed thinking HTC Touch HD might be the right product for me. All I can think of now is, will those fellas in Taiwan come up with the Pro version for HTC Touch HD?
Any suggestions?

I had the same thoughts, then I realised that we did not have qwerty with the original Pocket Pc's. Therefore why not use a fold up (stoway) keyboard. Carry with you only when needed and it is better sized keyboard as well. Then when not required you only carry a thin phone with you the HD!

I was going to post the exact same thoughts. I too wanted to pick up the HTC Touch Pro. But after seeing the HTC Touch HD, I convinced myself I would be willing to wait up to a year, for something with that screen and a QWERTY slider. I hope HTC has this in their recent plans.
The thing is as the screen is quite large, the keys on the virtual keyboard may be quite wider and therefore make your typing more accurate. Also there are third party software keyboards that are full screen such as spb full screen keyboard. Google "spb full screen keyboard screenshots" and go to the first result.
BTW, does anyone know how I can get rid of the vodafone logo at the top right corner of this post? I am not on vodafone anymore. Cant figure where in my profile settings I can remove it.
The truth of the matter is, when it comes to engaging in multiple sms texting communications, it's hard to beat an actual, physical keyboard. It seems HTC would agree by their decision to produce the HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro (I know there are other hardware specs also).
What would be the harm to allow consumers to have the option? I don't consider a portable folding keyboard as an option, to engage in texting and emailing discussions. That would be too cumbersome for quick messaging.
Come on HTC..........bring this to reality.......bring this to the states for ATT 3G. Hopefully this could be a true Hapy Thanksgiving in 2009. I'm prepared to wait it out a year for this one.

Seems you know...or are testing...something we don't know about. If this dream phone comes out, and it doesn't have US 3G frequencies, I just may have to try and slit my wrists with my HTC Trinity

This is almost impossible. A friend used to have something like that for one of his old HTC PPC without the physical QWERTY - I think it was cruise or p3600. He gave it away for a kaiser so nothing beats the physical.
Imagine dropping ur fold-up keyboard home thinking, ok no heavy texting today. Suddenly, during the day you find yourself out of the office and had to send loads of emails and txt colleagues. Damn you will bite those fingers
Was thinking Athena earlier before Touch Pro. My brother got that and I wasnt all that impressive with what I saw. I wanna belive HTC Touch HD Pro will come out Q1 2009
HTC Touch HD Pro is what I am waiting for if it would finally see the daylight.

So someone add more networks to Finland. We do not have Telia anymore here
I just want a bigger screen then my Tilt with VGA and 3G here in the USA
the keyboard to me is no big deal
Looks like I will do the upgrade to the Fuze from my Tilt on my wifes upgrade then maybe if the HD comes to the USA in 2009 I can do the upgrade on my account
I hope
If they could also add
-Flash
-VGA video recording at 30 fps
-DVB-H (we got nation wide coverage of DVB-H overhere in the Netherlands)
and maybe even :
-Opticall zooming
Then it would come close to the perfect phone untill Nvidia tegra processors arive.
thanks Bjluv!

Agree!
Cheers,
The evo4g uses a slightly modified keyboard optimized for the giant screen that it has. Since the hd2 has a similarly giant screen and lacks the trackpad/ball the addition of those arrow keys from the evo keyboard would be quite welcome.
Anybody know where to find the evo's keyboard? also is it sense specific or can it be added to a generic froyo build?

Ive tried pushing it, and just installing it. I tried the odex and deodex version and it just force closes. Ended it just buying smart keyboard pro.
I found one and didn't have any luck installing it either. I do find the swiftkey beta in the market is very close in functionality to the htc keyboards. That's the one I use when I'm not using swype.
it worked on darkstone old eclair sense...
smart keyboard pro has arrow keys
Im pretty sure you need the lib *.so file that goes with the keyboard, I installed the Droid 2 keyboard and it would force close until I inserted the .so file into the system/lib/ directory.
Go to the Evo forum and see if you can get an apk packaged to install rather than messing with your system files. It is Sense specific by default: Froyo uses a different default keyboard. I was able to get Swype which shipped with the Evo to install on my darkstone Android build.
Did you managed to find the keyboard files? Please share if so! Thank you!

I spent a while hunting for this last night. Found a bunch of Evo keyboard apks, most of which refused to install & many of which needed to be flashed as an update zip - which I don't believe we can do currently. I tried overwriting the htc_ime.apk & .obex in system/apps & managed to get a garbled version with arrows working - attempts to fix it borked my HTC keyboard entirely.
Found a worthwhile solution though - the Jonas HTC keyboard mod lets you use the volume buttons as arrow keys.

Does anyone know if the Droid 2 keyboard or the Droid x Keyboard has been ported and possible to be used on our Hd2?
The multitouch Droid 2 keyboard works, see the really obvious topic on the subject in this same forum.

Checkout smart keyboard pro in the market. It has multitouvh plus tons of other options.
Im using Desire Sense - BluteTopia and i really love this build. Of course I dont like the HTC sense keyboard. I want to know how i can put the keyboard that comes with stock froyo as this keyboard is much better than the sense one. But i also have the apk for the Droid X keyboard as well. Any link or directions would be awesome thanx .
anyone knows if there is anyway of skinning an EVO 4G HTC keyboard in a similar way to this website?
http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/main.php
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654179
the website is for skinning the htc keyboard for Nexus One and Desire, without the directional keyboard at the bottom.
bump.... anyone?
last bump.. a reply even if it is a no would be nice..
I'm a big fan of the Liberated Froyo Sense keyboard since the keys are bigger it doesn't enables XT9 everytime the keyboard comes up, I don't like XT9 at all, I'd rather type everything myself, mostly because I use a lot of slang. I use the compact QWERTY, by the way.
Does anyone know if it could be ripped and installed on the R012? I'd love to have it again
Pretty sure there's version in forums somewhere that's been stripped to work with CM6...

I've searched and all I found was HTC_IME is that the original HTC Keyboard or some look-a-like one?

That is the original HTC keyboard and it works fine on CM 6.1. In your original post you mentioned Liberated R012. That ROM already has the HTC Sense keyboard too.

Yes it does, but it is the "old" HTC Keyboard. The keys are a bit smaller than the FR07 keyboard. The FR07 keyboard is the one I'm looking for, but to use it on the R012 ROM.

OK, then chances are that the HTC_IME that you found is the "old" HTC keyboard, too. I haven't played with FRxx yet, so I haven't seen the changes that you are talking about.

Just installed HTC_IME. Yep, it's the same old keyboard but at least it doesn't go back to XT9 after switching back from the numbers/sybols buttons. In fact, I can even switch apps without going back to XT9. It's great! I just wish the keys were wider like the new keyboard.
