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!

Added one more requirement. I doubt sucha keyboard exists tho. Maybe i should email the devs of betterkeyboard

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.

What is swype ? What does it do ?

With swype you can text without lifting your finger off the keyboard.

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.

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.

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

Swype included with wildpuzzle rom works fine

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.

any japanese input keyboard for froyo?

i was searching for a japanese keyboard today. i found few on the market but after i install it, i couldnt use it.
my device is wildfire froyo.
anyone has any idea? =) thanks~

japanese keyboard for Froyo
Try 'simeji and/or 'openwnnフリック入力対応版' (you can just type in openwnn' in search and it will be the third choice.
Hope they work

correction
the second option is 'openwnn / flick support'

You could try morelocale.
Be sure to activate it in your international keyboard settings.

i'm using openwnn now. will try to use morelocale. thanks to all of you =)

I'm using Simeji right now. Is openwnn better?

Sense Keyboard on HyperDroid

Hi all
Sorry for the english i'm a french ( newbie )
Is it possible to have the HTC SENSE keyboard on the HyperDroid ROM ( Last version 12/04/11 ) ?
Thank you in advance

I have tried all kind of keyboards, but maybe you didn't know this. SlideIt from the Market, you don't type you just slide along the letter which make typing obsolete. It's like Swype if you ever heard of it. Anyone that use SlideIt or Swype never gone back to any regular keyboard. It's a paid app, but 100% worth it.

I have tried Swype..... and I hate this kind of Keyboard !!
Sorry Capt.PP, thank you anyway for your answer
Should be found XDA developer who has found a way to put the Android HTC Sense keyboard on a no sense ROM ... =D
Fingers crossed!
