A Keyboard that has all these requirements:

Ok i know many people are in love with the hero keyboard but the problem is the lag. i stopped using it because when i type in landscape mode it just becomes so laggy, it would type and it would take forever for it to catch up. but the thing i love about it, i can use the trackball to select the correct words. there are some "optimized" HTC_IME's that disable the autocorrection but thats stupid, i need the autocorrection. i tried the default keyboard and i actually like it, BUT i cant select words with the trackball, that is important to me. so what keyboard does these things:
1) no lag
2) has autocorrection
3) able to select words with the trackball
4) saving words you enter into dictionary and suggest it first
So basically a "betterkeyboard" with trackball selection.
ive tried betterkeyboard, but it doesnt give me the option to select the autocorrect word, or scroll through them with my trackball, i gotta use my finger and its uncomfortable like that. can anyone recommend an alternative if there even is one? thanks!

HTC default Keyboard on Cyanogen ROM
Hello I’m using the MoDaCo-sapphire Hero image on the MT3G, and it is painfully slow. I was wondering if the default HTC keyboard is usable on any of the Cyanogen builds. If so can anyone point me in the right direction to add it to Cyanogen 4.2.5? I love using any variant of the Hero builds, but they lag, are resource hogs, and my battery becomes mush. I just love their default keyboard which is easier to use, and it should be even faster on a lean ROM such as Cyanogens. Thanks.

Here's the link to the keyboard. Just download it and install it using an app installer. The keyboard is pretty fast, but as the OP said, it lags, but not as bad as hero roms.

yes this is the same one that is giving me issues. man i really wish the betterkeyboards had a scroll selection. any other opinions before i call it quits?
perhaps someone can explain to me how i can install an HTC_IME that has been optimized by eugene. its in his latest ROM, i successfully extracted it but it wont install. im sure i can do it through adb, anyone have the codes?

a suggestion...
I found another one recently which I believe is better with less bugs than betterkeyboard... its called "asoftkeyboard" its free on market... and its got almost every language support...
betterkeyboard started giving me bugs depending on roms and stuff so i tried this.. and absolutely love it... keys are kind of small though...
but try that guys...

Just thought I'd ask - which rom are you using? I don't get any lag with HTC IME.

You should really check out TouchPal from Cooltek. It has all functions you requested.

I am not sure if you can switch to default or anything, but there are heaps of sms apps on the market, a couple of which are pretty good - once installed you can make it the 'default' app, disable notifications in the htc version and away you go.

Using the stock keyboard
I'm not sure what the old keyboard you were looking for looks like, but I was successful at adding the stock keyboard (with voice input) back as noted in my recent post in the thread titled "Froyo 2.2 Keyboard APK" (post 20).
Sense was was a great improvement for WinMo, but the UI kind of sucks (imho) for Android. I upgraded to the FroyoStone update the other day and it seemed more stable (less SoD, that's for sure). But the HTC junk scattered across the UI ruined it for me.

the darkstone thread has a link for the apk of the kb youre looking for. search don't ask they'll bite your head off

Swype for Wildfire?

Have someone installed swype for wildfire? Any sugestions?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

What is swype ? What does it do ?

With swype you can text without lifting your finger off the keyboard.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

I installed swype 1.47.24.6828.t100. Page I downloaded this soft from said that it was a version for QVGA. Sadly it does not work :/ I'm waiting patiently for someone to figure out what to do.
Swype installed correctly but despite enabling swype in language&keyboard in settings I could see swype keyboard. I don't know if it's because of HTC sense or something.
Has someone succeded in installing swype for wildfire?

Remember, when you have installed and enabled a new keyboard, you need to "switch to it" too. That you do when e.g. typing a sms message. Then you hold down your finger on the text area, and in the bottom menu "input method" or something like that you have to select swype.
I haven't tried it for myself, because I own a Desire, but sounded like you didn't switch to swype

Thank you so much!
That's exactly what I needed to do.
So as you said you need to:
1) install swype from apk
2) enable swype in languages&keyboard
3) start typing message. hold finger on typing area and select "input method". Select swype and voile - you can type in swype. In the beginning there is a tutorial on how to use swype.
My version was for QVGA but it still said I have an incorrect screen size - despite this it worked fine!
Thanks again.

I don't know if it's allowed here but that's the version I used:
If it's against the rules, just delete the post.

Hi, I´m using SlideIT on my Wildfire and it's working perfectly. There are many languge packs available.

hey kosiara, is your swype version outdated? cos when i tried running it says trial period ended ):

I am using v. 1.54 for qvga. No FC. No trial period end. Perfect.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Could you please give the link or attach the swype Apk you got

If you use a google and write to "search box" a Swype 1.54 for qvga, first link will be right.

Now the first link isn't right. You have to choose third or fourth link now.

did u got any problem in lanscape mode?
mine seems weird

Huh? Skype? Are they even the same on the first place?

It works fine,full screen too. Try it if you need skype.

We're talking about Swype, not Skype.

MIUI Dialer.

I love the MIUI roms other than one aspect - the dialer. Is there any way to completely replace this with either the default Android dialer or HTC's? I have installed Dialer One over the top but all this does is alter how a call is made but the in call screen and receive call screen (slide up/down to answer etc) stays the same.
Cheers in advance.

Can anyone help with this? I'd love to get HTC's dialer working on this build.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to do it. I currently have an Xperia x10 and I've replaced the Phonebook.apk file (Located in /system/apps) with a modded one. I'd imagine the same concept can be applied to a cooked HD2 ROM. The only problem is if a dialer has dependancies with other services (Like sense dialer), you may come across issues.

No.
HTC uses htc libraries. You won't get them working on another rom.
(That's why you never see HTC apps outside sense )
You can, however, download dialer one or similar from market - or push the stock apk file

I recommend you use rocket dialer
you can find it from the market

Try "go contacts". Best dialer/contacts replacement imho.

First, you know that there is an Arabic keyboard that comes with this rom, right? If not, its pretty good. Try it out.
Regarding smart keyboard, first step is to enable smart keyboard in settings and then long press in a text editor area and change the input method. Did you miss any of these steps by any chance?

I did enable smart keyboard in settings & within choose Arabic & English as input language, but after in messages, mail etc when trying to type I get ROM keyboard every time and that's the problem>
edit: thanks it worked, I missed the part of long press in a text editor..
I used to have Motorola milestone and never needed to do that..
really appreciate your help brother
