Has anyone managed to get the HTC keyboard installed per chance? I'm quite happy with ultra keyboard (samsung one sucks). Just like to try the HTC version if anyone has managed to get it installed.
I tried to installl it but with no sucess, it crashes
Same for me :-(
Have you tried Swiftkey? Personally I think it is essentially a slightly more refined HTC IME, and always use it on my Desire these days in preference to the stock keyboard.

Couple of things. First, I'm a fan of SwiftKey as well. Second, when installing the HTC_IME on a non sense device you also need to install the clicker.apk or else you'll get force closes.
Just FYI.

It's not going to work regardless. The highest resolution HTC IME_MOD is available for is 800x480 - Our tabs are 1024x600... Won't happen without some major modifications.
Porting
So, is anyone going to have a go at porting it or are the developers all elsewhere?
The Samsung keyboard does suck, that was the first thing I changed. I'm trying out Smart Keyboard which has an HTC skin and so far, I like it.
I've been trying ultra keyboard it's pretty good but it is a bit slow sometimes.
Try building one from here, select the FroYo hi-res version.
May still freak out since there's a resolution mismatch, but it should also be an (hopefully) easy fix for the devs to sort out.

I can vouch for SwiftKey on the tab. I'm tapping this message out on it now. No issues with resolution.
Good luck.

Swiftkey is a good replacement.
However, I much prefer HTC IME... best on screen keyboard to me.
If anyone can mod it to work on the Tab, I'd love to get it. Even if it's pixellated, it doesn't really matter.
EDIT : Smart Keyboard pro made it all to me. It is perfect and looks exactly like HTC's.
Has the atrix keyboard been extracted yet? I had the chance to play with one for a few minutes and was wondering if xda was able to do it much like it was done with the Droid x. Thank you in advance for your replies!
id like to know as well.
ugh, i hate the motoblur keyboard.. i'm actually thinking about installing better keyboard again.
anyone do this and is it better? (yes, I know non dev related but slightly on topic for this thread)
Off topic. I have Smart Keyboard pro, is better keyboard any "better" ?
the motoblur keyboard is actually pretty good. almost comparable to the iphone keyboard with multitouch and pretty good word prediction. Thats why people love the droid x keyboard so much.

One of the first things I did was installing the GB keyboard from the market. World of difference. I hated the moto keyboard.
I couldnt get the haptic feedback working on the GB Keyboard so I just installed "Better Keyboard". It does the job.

To get Haptic feedback working, you go to Settings/Lanuage and Keyboard/Gingerbread Keyboard settings/Advanced settings/Vibration Intesity
Set to normal, NOT SYSTEM DEFAULT.
I use smart keyboard pro (have been for months now) and love it, although I was in the process of finding new ones before I clicked on this thread.
Rooted/ROM Captivate
Rooted Atrix

No Apk yet... i miss motoblur theme... i just need the keyboard.
Any rom that looks like rom in samsung galaxy s ?
No one ? Not even look a like ?
Because samsung uses a wholly different framework than the HTC desire, desire hd/z, incredible s, etc, which you know, are the bases of our roms. Also porting is near impossible due to the the fact the framework responds to a wholly different set of drivers than any of the devices listed above. The best you can have is the launcher.
Never gonna happen keep dreaming.
Ok... i see that miui looks like galaxy, but doesnt have app drawer... What launcher do u sugest so i can have same look as galaxy s ? I need it for my gf..
You can download the touchwiz launcher that works good. You can also install samsung live wallpapers and samsung wallpaperchooser.apk too. This covers a big part of it. Then just apply a Galaxy S theme!
Try MIUI. It's not exactly like Samsung's Touch Wiz, but it's similar.
TW is good, Sense is better.
TW is not famous for its launcher.....It has nice mail, sms, dialer apps, some useful settings in menu too.
anyone got a working multitouch keyboard. one looks like the droid x. i found the thread with the different colors but it don't work on miui or synergy so its pretty useless to me.
Anyway to make them work?
I know Better Keyboard supports multitouch and has a DXish skin. I think it costs like $1.50 or so.
ill check it out thnx
Hi guys,
So if you've used the Stock Samsung Keyboard, I'm guessing you have worked out it's even worse than the iOS keyboard, actually no it's not that bad, but still. It's missing key features and for some reason on each reboot of the phone it seems to forget words I've told it to remember. Coming from a One X, this keyboard is extremely hard to adopt, as the Sense keyboard is absolutely beautiful.
Does anyone know any good, free, alternative keyboards that I could use, maybe even a Sense keyboard? To date I have used the following keyboards, and hate them!:
AOSP Gingerbread
AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich
GO Keyboard (HATED THIS!!)
I can't think of any alternative, however if you guys take the time to make some suggestions I would really really appreciate it! I don't mind installing applications that aren't in the Play Store, I just reeaaaaaly want something better than this!
Thanks guys, you da bomb
I use Ice Cream Sandwich Keyboard by johntanmi
I used to use Smart Keyboard PRO when I was on my GS2 with Gingerbread.
I actually found the Sense keyboard very hard to use and have always been a fan of the iOS keyboard. I really wish there was a ripoff for it for Android that came close. I can use an iOS keyboard on a 3.5" screen as well as I use the ICS keyboard on my 4.8" GS3 screen.
I highly recommend SwiftKey X. It's excellent.
There is a free version of SwiftKeyX, though I would honestly suggest buying it, and eventually Swiftkey3 when it comes out of beta. I don't have an S3 (yet), so I don't know the compatibility it'll have with the phone, but unless you're looking for something similar to Swype, Swiftkey is the way to go.

Or even better, the SwiftKey 3 beta.
Was using ics keyboard donation version for a while but siwftkey keyboard blows it out of the water.
《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
I'm also a +1 for Swiftkey 3 beta (using it now on my Galaxy Nexus)
here's the link (download at bottom of the page):
http://www.swiftkey.net/swiftkey-3-beta-smart-space-ui-themes
I've used SwiftkeyX before (and personally wasnt a huge fan), but I find the changes in Swiftkey 3 have been amazing so far. Especially the new themes, Swiftkey 3 makes the whole thing look much more professional.
Tinker around with the Swiftkey3 settings (I like setting the spacebar action to complete the current word)
I only have a few issues (which im sure they'll work out in the future) - such as their voice input (its not like ICS keyboard where it will dynamically populate your words as you speak , but instead will LIST out options of what it thinks you said)
anyways - Swiftkey3 ! DO IT
I have tried over 10 different keyboards and I keep coming back to Swiftkey. The auto-correction and prediction algorithm is second-to-none. It also handles up to 3 languages simultaneously, so it makes it simple to type in multiple languages (in my case, English and Portuguese). The beta also looks very promising, so it will keep getting better.
Thanks for the replies guys! I'm going to try SwiftKey X and SwiftKey 3, means a lot to me the replies I have had. Support on this seems to be buzzing a hella lot more than over on the One X forums
+ 1000 with SwiftKey... it's just the best! You won't be disappointed of wasting some bucks on it!

What i really love about Swiftkey X is that this keyboard learns my "typing habits" from my SMS, gmail, facebook or twitter. The text prediction become almost perfect.
On the GS3 (coming from a HTC Desire), i tried the samsung keyboard, and installed Swiftkey again after 5 minutes of hating this stock keyboard.
Yeah, I must recommend SwiftKey also, the beta is amazing, I type almost as fast as I do on my desktop... Sometimes it feels impossible to mistype lol. It reads my mind :s

I can recommend slideit keyboard. I used it on my sgs2 and now on the s3. Try it, you may like it

I've tried just about everything but I keep coming back to FlexT9. I wish I didn't as it's uglier than everything else IMO, but in terms of functionality and usability I can't find anything that beats it.
You might try out Thumb Keyboard. I wrote this especially for devices with large screens. Besides a standard layout it has split layouts for landscape and portrait. Although I'm pretty objective when it comes to keyboards, I still find myself typing the most fast on this one.
+ for the SwiftKey. Really really nice, both in visual terms and functionality.
swiftkey X (first app i bought ^^) very nice and useful keyboard
Better keyboard 8. On the S2 gingerbread keyboard.

If you get a stylus and screen protector, I would recommend swype. That setup rules.
