What is a good keyboard for X10?
I am using shapewriter right now, it is pretty good, but i am not too used to that way of typing.
Any other good keyboard are ppl using?
HTC IME seems popular.. but I'm using SlideIT.. which I love.
HTC_IME is good. Swype is better!
I can't find swype on the market.
you have to download the .apk from their website. just google swype. also, swype isn't working. I really like the look of the keyboard, but it just doesn't want to work unless I type letter by letter. Shapewriter works fine though, hmm..
yeah I have both the hacked HTC keyboard and Swype, at first I used the HTC one all the time, but now Swype is the only way to go. It's SO fast and "intelligent," seriously everyone should install it and give it a go
anyone can give me a link for downloading HTC_IME, and how can I install it?
the tutorials....hehhehe

I'm typing on the swype keyboard right now.
Use the motorola droid apk. Works with the x10. That's what I'm using since you can no longer download it on the swype website.

Hi,
Where did you download yours? And what version are you using?
I went to their website but the beta testing is closed due to overwhelming responses.
I googled it and found a site hosting this file, so I downloaded it to test it.
My version is 1.25.16.5612 and I am sure this is not the latest beta version as mine seemed a bit buggy at times. But so far I am enjoying the swype!
i've tried many different keyboards and there isn't one that i fully fully like. currently i'm using swype, my favorite out of the few that i've tried (original android, HTC, and better keyboard)
Here is the thread that contains the APK for anyone interested.

@onuris21
My version is the same as yours. I too had a little problem with the keyboard crashing on me with a select few letter combinations. I was trying to teach it cuss words, and swype crashed when i tried to enter "pu**y". Had to turn off the "Word Prediction" option. I also disabled "Tip Indicator". Since the little tweek, it's been smooth sailing for me. I hope it helps you. Good luck.
Just downloaded swype and its fantastic. I'm amazed at the accuracy.

Is there any keyboard that will actually work, that i can calibrate and it wont freeze when im typing fast.
I put HTC_IME mod keyboard and it was alright until it froze constantly, swype requires me to look at the screen and the " android keyboard" is simply horrible.
can anyone link me to a keyboard similar to 2.1 that actually works for CM6?
Thank you

Smart Keyboard (Pro Version) is the best I've found so far. Try the free version and upgrade if you like it to get T9 capability. Can you post the apk file for that HTC_IME mod? I'd like to try that out!
@ Puffdaddy_d ; i'd be glad to if i still have it in my sd
And thanks ill try it, where can i get it ? ( too lazy to search or anything haha )
edit: nevermind found it in market
and i posted the .apk for you.
Thank you very much for the apk! I'll give it a try. Let me know if Smart Keyboard works out for ya!

I wonder if that HTC keyboard mod is really designed for the CDMA hero running froyo? It FC's the moment I try to load it. That sounds more like a complete incompatibility issue rather than being just "buggy". Do you know where you got it from?
My friend has database filled with apps and he put it on my phone via adb, it works just buggy actually.

Just tried installing this using an install manager instead of adb push and it's working flawlessly so far! I've got my HTC Keyboard BACK!!!
Too bad I can't get my $4 back from the market...
Better Keyboard works great. I think its 2 bucks on the market
try SwiftKey Beta, it's free and actually works on CM6 (I'm using it now!)
Just an FYI for anyone wondering. I was able to install Swype 3 Beta, despite the indication not to.
On their website it indicates that you should not install on any devices that had Swype pre installed.
I had no problems after uninstalling Swype via Titanium and proceeding with their inStall process

Any benefit for Swype 3 over what we have on our Epics right now?
Ummmm, not necessarily, it handles things just a bit smoother though, I've been digging swype as of lately because I'm on EE03 so the kb lag throws me off quite a bit, but other than that, not too much of a gain, not too much added to the options menus.

Hmmm well thank you. One thing I'd like is the ability to tap and still have autocorrect... like FlexT9, but FlexT9 won't let you Swype for the ! and ? which REALLY bothers me.

I've been using flex t9 for several weeks and I found the prediction engine frustrating at times.
I do like the new predicted word bar like in t9, much easier and more intuitive.

You might try SlideIT keyboard
You might try SlideIT keyboard. Available on the Market for almost a year and works very much like "Swype" - in fact, I prefer SlideIT, which seems to accommodate for the eccentricities of my texting technique better than Swype... http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Download/

it has this now... kinda like the gb keyboard
I just tried downloading it from an external source (because the Swype beta registration email would not send, no matter how many times I requested a new one) and upon installation, I was bombarded with a never ending barrage of Force Close missiles until I went into System App Remover and killed it and restored my previously uninstalled but backed up stock Swype..

I've used that, but I don't like it as well because it's built-in dictionary is not as good so when you swipe on their app, the right word doesn't always come up.
Edit: Swype 3 is pre-installed on the EF02 GB Leak rom.
Not only I t a beta its higher than the beta ef02s swype is 3.4

I just installed Swype and am using it for the first time. I am so impressed that I needed to make a post about it.
The thing is freaking amazing. Seriously good.
Anyone else using it at the mo?
Yep... It's installed out of the box on galaxy s series handsets, but I love it and can barely use a standard keypad anymore so I got the beta for my cm installation..

Used to use it on my Galaxy S but not a fan tbh, tried it on my play and still MUCH prefer Swiftkey X, Swiftkey X is easily the best Keyboard for Android
I don't see it in the market. I see SMS to swipe, Word Swide and Gem Swype.
is it any of these?
Nope, it's a program on public beta. It's preloaded in the Samsung Android phones. Here you can download it: http://swypeinc.com/ After downloading the installer you just have to follow the steps it tells you.
It's mighty awesome, enough that Sony is including a Swype-lookalike (T9) in the 2.3.4 update in October. You can find similar keyboards in the market like SlideIT keyboard.

Select Beta and follow instructions.
It is a pain in the arse to download, but trust me, well worth it.
Thanks Guys
I will do that tonight. I'll try the internal PSX emu also.
Not enough hours in a day when you have kids.

I am now of the opinion that all swipe-like keyboards are vastly superior by default after using Swype. The difference is as large as texting on the old numeric keypads versus typing on a qwerty keyboard.
Absolutely no way could I go back to a bog standard qwerty touchscreen keypad with no swipe feature !

Tried beta 1, then switched to swype and stayed with swype.
no idea why but it sometimes lags and the words aren't really accurate either.. adding a new word to the user dictionary is a PITA..
Swift key x, ftw
I was using swype but my beta version got over after a month :/

Yup it is... It just puts every other keyboard out of the competition..
At last!!
I have been checking my mail daily to try this app since a month when i saw someone post the link here. And it arrives yesterday. Now trying it out!! I had been a huge fan of Swype for its ease and swiftkey(not that much) but loved its prediction. Can't think what the combo will be like!!!
Installing it now
It is a great app but takes quite some time to get output on the screen. For example, I finish typing the sentence before it finishes displaying on the screen. But the themes and all is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Ohh! So this problem exists with all. I thought the RAM is too high around 50MB only for this and maybe there was not enough of RAM to cause this problem. Any ways it is still beta version. Hope they improve it.

yes its still in beta and one should also consider that our device is getting too old with 2gb RAM coming in trend..
Have it up. Great potential here. I cannot really say Swype is so much quicker but since this baby does groups of words, the delay multiplies and that becomes a problem. Swype's "keys" are larger, easier to use (same problem with TouchPal!) and it show more suggestions (could be a plus or a minus). Wonder if Paranoid options can improve the layouts. Problem with c/r vs smiley--filed as a bug.
Hats off to the devs at Swiftkey. Google took, possibly the same code, and tied it down to ARMv7. Disgusting. Swiftkey flow runs on our old clunkers just fine!
Nice keyboard but it takes up like 2/3 of our screen.

Key heights can be adjusted. Swype's sizes and layout, to me, is much easier to use.
May also experiment with Paranoid for modifying sizes.
How do you do that? Didn't see any settings.

Menu is over the ',' (comma). Setting from there.
I used this keyboard for a while but had to go back to Swype...not the new Swype but the ICS one.. version 3.26 i think...that was the best...the main problem with this keyboard is that there are no suggestions...just predictions..for example..if i swype "if" and it comes up as "of" you must delete the word because there is no suggestion...it just suggests the next word it thinks you want to insert....and you have to be very accurate...while on swype..if you do the same thing and it comes up as something else...suggestions will be like "if" "off" "for" etc...so many suggestions...and you can choose in swype between prediction and suggestion...so yeah not such a good experience with this keyboard...and the Flow through space method still needs a lot of work as it is far from accurate....but no doubt that it looks so much better and takes up only 8 mb of space i think...if they had the suggestion thing i'd be overjoyed..till then...enjoy it everyone
Yasss I love this with the Pumpkin theme. I can't wait until this gets a stable release.
It is time limited though
