I really hope this is possbile. The HTC IME keyboard is absolutely indispensible to me. It in my experience has by far the best spell correction out of any keyboard I've tried. No other keyboard can I mess a word up so bad, add in a few extra letters than the word has, and it will still figure out what I'm trying to say.

The only thing I hate about the keyboard is that after putting a period to write down my email, it always puts a space after it. Errr....
If the HTC keyboard can be ported to the Galaxy S and Nexus One phones, then I'm sure it can for the Nexus S.
It'll be ported, no worries. In the mean time try Smart Keyboard Pro with HTC Skin.. very very similar. I actually prefer that to HTC_IME, but both are damn similar.
I had switched a while back to HTC_ime as well. I recently got tired of it's myriad bugs and switched back to stock and am loving it! Can't wait to see how much better the Gingerbread version will be.

i just switched to smart keyboard pro from the HTC IME and i will never go back. it's amazing, and the dev is very nice as well
Smart keyboard is great, and I would use it over stock keyboard for sure...
But I re-iterate, in my personal experience, no keyboard comes close to the spell correction offered by the HTC IME. It is VERY forgiving to typing mistakes. I mean you can completely misspell every letter of a word, add way too many letters, and it will still pick up what you're saying.
Then you gotta learn to make less mistakes!

Check the options you can turn off auto spacing after entering a period.
I personally use Smart Keyboard. I would like to use the new Gingerbread keyboard because of the multi-touch, but don't like that the keyboard TICK sound is not adjustable and it's very loud if I have my ringer/notification volume at full.
Smart Keyboard doesn't offer multi-touch, neither does HTC IME.
I will switch to Ultra Keyboard when I get the Nexus S because it is multi-touch.
Huh? AFAIK both Smart Keyboard and HTC IME have multitouch. Smart Keyboard even has an option for Multitouch AFAIK.
I'd try this kitchen, should work and you can customize it completely, check it out Great way to have nice, working HTC IMEs

smart keyboard has full multitouch, you have to enable it in the settings, though i think it's on by default.
Also depending on your phone it may not work too good, i've noticed on my nexus one the multitouch on smart keyboard has never worked good, but it works alright in apps like maps and the gallery.

For sure, Swype is far superior if you can actually master typing on it. It's a skill that's worth learning

I got Tswype Pro (but I would like find a free version or maybe I will pay 100THB) but it's really nice and support Thai language so I am happy works on A500
Thumb keyboard is pretty nice, but I find myself switching it off with stock every now and then because I want to type home-row periodically. The other great keyboard is the Hacker Keyboard because of the directional arrows. I miss those on stock. I just wish they would clean it up visually so that it looks as simple and clean as stock.

I've been switching between thumb keyboard and flext9 keyboard. The voice to text feature works great on flext9 as does the handwriting feature. Thumb keyboard is still my favorite straight typing keyboard though.
I bought flext9 to use with my stylus but thats not working out so well. Ended up back to using stock. Will try those suggestions.
waiting for swyft to release thier tablet version. I think its in beta right now.
Love it on my phone. very intuitive.
Stock really isn't bad at all. It's just about as good as a touch screen keyboard can get.

+1 for the Hacker's Keyboard. I like having the numbers and symbols in the standard location rather than like a phone. I have to have the arrow keys since the HTC Evo's Sense KB has them and I've gotten used to them. That being said, I have moved on to Swype on my Evo.

Thanks FYI, recent versions (including the current Market release) have a config setting controlling the on-key hint display for the alternate characters, you can turn them off entirely if you want an uncluttered keyboard. The prerelease builds (v1.14rc5 or later) at the project page have additional layouts and plug-in language-specific completion dictionaries. Please let me know if you have feedback.
I use the Swiftkey Keyboard for tablets. Here it is to try out
I love thumb keyboard, many different layouts and custom "macros" are awesome.
The note was made for 240 dpi, and yet Samsung insist on making it 320dpi and giving us massive icons. I mines 240dpi via build change but it comes at a compromise.
Has anyone managed to get everything working fine at 240dpi or know of a ROM that supports it?

Right now no ROM officially supports it sahilaurora tried asking mike1986 if he will adding 240 dpi but it seems his rom is totally stock.
Omega doesnt offer it too...
You can try cm10 if port if you want
Right now all touchwiz roms will have compromises

I hope for a ParanoidAndroid version by imilka as on the Note1 soon. See link Note1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797698.
Hmm...maybe I´m wrong, but it shouldn´t be any problem to change your DPI to 240 DPI using ROM Toolbox (or a similar app). TouchWiz wouldn´t stand this procedure, but you can use Apex or Nova instead without a problem.
And it wouldn´t be the first time that someone asks for providing a 240 DPI compatible version of S-Note It has always worked in the past, so why shouldn´t it work with the Note II?!
I´m not rooted yet (just having a test device), so I can´t try it out...but maybe someone here on the board sacrifieces some minutes to check it out^^

We really hope...
I used that ROM alot back when i used Note 1 awesome. but it was already stable enough
In any case, any paranoid android/CM we will be getting on Note 2 will be unofficial as CM team has dropped support for exynos devices
240 works, however you get FC on the keyboard (which is perfect for the Note II) And the camera is all small, so is the dialer.
S-Notes is fine. So if you repalce the dialer,camera app and the keyboard you are fine to use 240 to 200 DPI. But is it worth it loosing the stock keyboard and camera? No..
Losing the stock keyboard is fine IMO, as there are loads of really good alternatives... apart from the fact handwriting with the SPen relies on it. For me that's no big deal, it's a gimmick anyway, but it could be a killer for others.
Hi all,
I've been trying really hard to adapt the stock GNote2 software for 240dpi but to no avail.
Basically the issue is the keyboard which crashes at 240dpi. It works anywhere from 320 down to 270 dpi (280-270 dpi is already nicer than 320 dpi, but it's definitely 240 dpi that we want ) but with a lower DPI it crashes.
What I am saying is that I think all the "button too small" issues can be fixed. For instance I have more or less successfully resized the Samsung keyboard for 280 DPI. All the other apps should be no problem: camera, e-mail...
But with the Samsung Keyboard crashing whatever I do I am stuck. Even when I resized the buttons for 240 DPI. I don't know what to do with that.
Something nice would be to "fake" the system DPI so that the Samsung keyboard still thinks it is at 320 DPI, but there seems no way to do that easilly (i.e. no source code hacking). Paranoid/Android does something like that with their "Per App Dpi" but I am not sure that we would reuse their code on Stock Samsung apps... They suggest that it is tied to CM.
Mmmm... Maybe the note 10.1 apps work with 240dpi... Worth a try
Can someone get this apps and installd it on the note?

Continuing on my previous post...
It sees the Samsung keyboard crashes because below 270dpi Android switches to "tablet mode". Application would not be made for it crash.
I don't know if there is any way around that? I guess Android uses the screen resolution to compute the --supposed-- size of the screen and then choose between tablet (big screen) and phone (small screen) modes.

Not sure what would be the result, do you have the Note 10.1 apps at hand?
Anyway, I have found the following thread which suggests that we could hardcode the DPI for specific applications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903519
If we could just force the Samsung keyboard to behave as if we were at 320 DPI, always and whatever the system settings, that would be perfect in my opinion...
I dont have it, but the keyboard can be stracted from the jb ota leaked or try the ics keyboard from any of the note 10.1 roms

I'm fine with those compromises, so what's the easiest way for me to switch to 240? Never messed with dpi changes...
I'm sure I saw a comment on a thread here (screenshot thread, perhaps) from somebody running 189DPI... I'd love to hear more about that.
I'm running 240DPI at the moment and for me, with a few quirks, it's fine. I dislike the Samsung keyboard so changed that to Swype on day-one of owning the Note 2. So really all I'm left with is the odd graphical problem or quirk (such as the comedy-looking dialer) which is fine by me.
Can someone using 240 dpi post some screenshots of their icons please

I pretty much have fallen in love with swiping on my gs4. Now on my note 8, it's a little mixed. I use SwiftKey and have the paid for version on my gs4.been thinking about getting the paid for version on my note. But my main complaint is having to swipe clear across the pad in landscape. Wish there was a setting too make it less wide. Maybe as wide as it is on the gs4 would be perfect. It would speed up my swiping. I don't do that two thumb typing any more. Any one know of an alternate solution?

Thanks. I might just have to switch now. Love how I can make it smaller and move the key pad to the left or the right. Genius! Now to get used to the new layout, At least until they maybe do something similar to swiftkey which I am just too familiar with.

There's an easy fix to this. Long press the second button from left in the bottom row of the default keyboard. There, select the keyboard icon with a cross overlaid on it. The keyboard immediately shrinks to about Note 2's size, and can also be moved anywhere on the screen. Swiping is extremely easy in this mode.

I have been a long-time fan of Swype, especially since I got the S-pen. You can fly!
But today I tried every swiping keyboard I could find in the Play store, and the Google Keyboard is more accurate than any of the others, by a long shot. It is also rather plain and boring. Hopefully they'll add more features soon, like symbols & numbers on long-press.
I'm giving it a try as my primary keyboard for a while.
How do users type when viewing in Portrait or Landscape mode while holding the device? I can't do thumb-typing since the device is too wide even on Portrait mode.
Use the split keyboard or use thumbs plus or swiftkey keyboard

I peck with the stylus. I use handwriting recognition 90% of the time.
I swipe using my 9" right thumb.
Seriously, I'm using the floating KB for now.
Thumb Keyboard works very well on 10" screens as well.

i switched to that a while back since it's more responsive than the stock samsung kb and far more customizable.
there's a kb switch app in the thems & apps section that allows you to automatically switch to the stock when you pull out the spen so you can still have hw recognition.
SwiftKey works awesome. It's split for thumb typing on my tabs, plus you get an excellent predictive word engine. And some other stats to check out attached.

By "floating KB", do you mean a very small keyboard on the screen? I came across it while testing the device in a store.

The Floating Keyboard's great. You can use the swipe feature with S Pen and it's probably the fastest method of text entry. The only downside is that you have to move it around to keep it from covering content you're looking at or text entry boxes.
+1 for SwiftKey although I have big hands and use the normal layout even if I'm standing up typing with my thumbs.
