[Q] Auto-Complete with keyboard

Is there a way to turn on auto-complete with the hardware keyboard?

There may not be a way to do it with the stock Android keyboard but I know that both Better Keyboard and SwiftKey have that option. I prefer SwiftKey

It has a limited auto-complete in the sense that it will insert apostrophes and other punctuation as it's appropriate, but I don't recall that it will actually correct spelling or give you auto-complete functionality.

They were asking about the HARDWARE keyboard, not the stock android virtual keyboard.
I wish there was auto complete for the hardware keyboard too, but I haven't seen that option anywhere.

Swiftkey allows for the hardware keyboard to have prediction. Check out its description in the market.

I know he's talking about the hardware keyboard. And as I said SwiftKey has an option to add support for it...

I stand corrected. However, I must admit $4 to add autocorrect is a bit steep IMOH. The was a nice touch.

Yeah $4 is a bit steep I didn't realize it was that much! I got it for 99 cents a while ago. I guess they must have raised it since then.

I was just going to search for this. Looks like the swift KB is the way to go.
Oh well. Can't have it all I guess. Root will solve that problem.

Search for jonas's HTC IME mod on the forums. The high res version works with the G2 and has hardware kb word prediction.

Thanks. The Jonas IME Mod was just what I was looking for. I tried the SwifKey but uninstalled.
Thanks.

I don't know why you would want the stock one when it doesn't even have multi-touch...
Just install smartkeyboard pro, it looks exactly like the stock keyboard but with multi touch, plus some other goodies.

thats probably why the stock android keyboard doesnt work. it doesnt support multi touch lol i never would have thought that.

s10shane I did that also and it force closed but its not because of the multitouch because the g2 has a multitouch chip and still runs it..

I may be missing something, but I believe my 4g already has the stock keyboard -- you just press and hold in any text input field, choose "Input Method", and select "Touch Input" -- that seems as close to a stock android keyboard as any I've seen.

I just installed it as well. I like the options it gives for customization but the prediction doesn't match htc's. At least not with changing the settings I have found.
I like sense's keyboard and how it shows the suggested words as I am typing. Skpro doesn't seem to have that option.
I'm willing to keep smart keyboard just because it wasn't that expensive but I may need longer to appreciate it.

I think he means they have a full qwerty hardware keyboard

My bad I did tend to write "swype keyboard" not qwerty, lol sorry.
I am never into integrated hard keyboard like Desire Z.

Keyboard for Desire [Suggestion Requested]

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!

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

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
Forums but should work on the desire :

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.

Swift key is one of the best and fast too try that

I use google pinyin keyboard:laugh: it feel very smooth.

SwiftKey x is definitely the best IMHO. It supports 3 languages at the same time
