Thanks for the quick reply. It works perfectly
One more thing. Is it possible to totally delete the touch keyboards and the normal WM keyboard?
As far as I know, the Touch Keyboards are part of the ROM, as is the 'ordinary' keyboard. It would be most unwise to try to delete them altogether. Especially the 'ordinary' keyboard, it comes in handy sometimes when surfing or filling in an online form etc. Not all applications 'like' TouchPal or PCM Keyboard.
You can use something like S-K tools to disable some SIPs, I have disabled block recogniser and something else I can't remember. But, these don't bother me now, as SipChange just puts TouchPal on for me, I never really notice the others any more, except occasionally I'm forced to use the standard keyboard.

I have Touchpal set as my default keyboard but it seems that Opera 9.5 keep changing it to the tiny Microsoft qwerty. Nothing I have tried allows me to keep Touchpal as the default. And I've used several different builds of Opera, including the ones that supposedly don't have keyboard issues. Any ideas as to what I can do to fix this? I have an HTC Vogue, if that matters. Thanks for your help!

I don't have a definitive answer, but just for kicks why don't you try a different alternative keyboard, such as Resco or SPB or PocketCM Keyboard. I personally use SPB keyboard and have never had this problem though half a dozen more versions of Opera. Every time I hear about this problem, it's always with TouchPal. I begin to suspect it's more a TouchPal problem than an Opera problem.

I've run into this problem with Resco, TouchPal, PocketCM, and (I believe) SPB. Still holding out for a definitive solution.

So what have you been doing in the meantime? Do you just stay away from Opera 9.5?
winmo phones switchto default keyboard when they switch on, so if you have soft reset itll go back to default ms keyboard try these install one of them and tell it what you want default to be then it should save that as default i have pcm all through my phone thanks to these

that's true to any browser and application tho.. not only opera
you should use SIPChange by Sleuth
SIPChange isnt working for me. It still defaults back to the microsoft keyboard. Not sure what to do.
this is because your delay is short.
you need to set the delay by using a regeditor..
go to HKCU/Software/The Paradigm Group/sipchange/parameters and change the value of Delay to 25 decimal.

I tried a delay of 15 earlier with no success. Do you really think a delay of 25 is really going to help?
I'm pretty surprised but changing the delay to 20 actually worked! For all those having issues with Touchpal reverting from default, change the delay in steps of 5 until you find a value that works.
can someone please tell me were to get the htc software keyboards from!!
i put 6.5 on my phone but there are no software keyboards but the windows 1..i need them please please help!
the default HTC keyboard is called "EzInput". Searching for that will yield you better results.
Also check out the new "FingerKeyboard" I find it works alot better then the default one. It is one I use currently.
Another keyboard I found worked very well was Spb Keyboard. It allows finger gestures for backspace and space. Helps alot.
Also PocketCM Keyboard is REALLY sweet if you can get it set up properly. This keyboard allows for "sloppy" typing. Using this keyboard, you don't have to press the keys exactly. It references your taps against a dictionary and is pretty accurate.
I like the look and feel of FingerKeyboard but find the way PocketCM Keyboard works simply amazing. Both keyboards allow skinning. A mix of the two would be amazing.
I use the HTC Diamond and wonder if there is a solution to the following:
When I write an SMS i like to use the "phone keypad", but when I'm in Word or Opera I like to use the full keyboard.
When I change the keyboard I do so for all programs (The keyboard is "Global"), but what I'd like was if the keyboard selected was for the program I was in ("Local" selection of keyboard). This would make things a lot more easy.
Is there already en option making this possible?
Is there software around fixing this?

Welcome to the forum
Do a search for SIP changer, install it, then open in programs and select your desired permanent keyboard.
Good luck and enjoy!
I search to make sure I didn't post something already well known by everyone!
here is the link to download a free version of TouchPal, Chinese/ENglish for the time being...
http://www.cootek.com/_d/TouchPal.apk
I am testing it on Desire 2.1 it is working sofar.

Works on my Milestone, Chinese and English input but help is in Chinese
I loved TouchPal on PPC hopefully it's just as good on ANDROID.
support! im using it now.
I've never heard of it, but it looks somewhat identical to SwiftKey (which is still in beta though)..
Is it better than SwiftKey?
It's very similar to swift key... It's not like how it was on WM so I uninstalled.
Last I tried this, it was kludgy.. I loved TouchPal in WM, so hopefully it gets to that level.
Still using HTC IME mod myself.
It's definitely not as good as it was on WinMo, but it's still probably the best keyboard for Android now. I LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to SWIPE keys to select modifiers, rather than HOLD them for a second (which seems like an eternity)
Three main problems keep this one from being perfect:
1) It doesn't seem as snappy as it did on WinMo (using HTC desire now, was using Omnia II before)
2) It's missing the "insert space after completed word" function
3) It is completely missing the '#' key, which makes tweeting difficult sometimes
Oh, and it would be nice if it was skinnable too
Every key imaginable is under the number key keyboard, at least in the T+ keyboard I've always used TouchPal under. You just scroll up on the list. It's not exactly obvious, I actually found it on accident.
That said, TouchPal is a lot better than it was when I last tried it, but it's very laggy and is missing the voice search button, which as far as I know a keyboard just calls, not like they actually write code to do the voice transcription within the keyboard itself.. I know you can long-press the search button for general search, but I like to use the voice recognition in things like Waze to type for me while I drive.
It's 3.4M too. Sheesh. What would help is if it were possible to dump the keyboards I don't use, but I doubt that'll be possible.
I think it still has a ways to go, but it's better than it was. I always loved TouchPal in WM, but I think I'll still have to stick to IME for now. SwiftKey I still just don't like, it's like a pair of shoes that just don't feel right. Can't really say way, just don't like it.
Ah, I found the # key, cool! That's a pretty inconvenient place for it though.
On my device, TouchPal takes about 17M of memory, while SwiftKey takes 50M+. SwiftKey is much smoother though.
I've been using it today, it's working pretty good overall. One annoying thing is it switches to Full QWERTY after going to the number pad input, have to swipe it back to T+
It's prediction is rather good, probably not that much better than HTC IME but the buttons are much larger and easier to type.
I miss the amount of symbols directly available on the keys, however. It is slower to type things like _, which I use a lot
I am looking for some options for the on screen keyboard on my HTC HD2. Does anyone have any suggestions for it ?
You can try Finger Keyboard 2.1 . To me it is the best among the others
Why? do you not like the plain look of windows mobile keyboard. I have swype as a second keyboard option.
Search DINIK, he has skinned the normal keyboard. all my friends envy the 3D eye candy keyboard... i definitely display that more than swype now give it a try!
Finger Keyboard 2.1 has skins for it an suports alot of languges
i think you will find it the most sutable kebord for your needs

Depends what youre after. If you like the standard k/board but want a better look, Dinik has a great skin and there are several skins floating around for this.
If you dont like the functionality of it, there are many alternative keyboards. For me i have tried Touchpal (great touch style, layout, fast etc), Swype (many threads and vids on this, no typing, more like sliding), SlideIT (similiar to Swype) etc.
I used to use swype,found out it was the reason my phone was crashing,now i'm using slidet which is similar,no freezing or crashing..

Curious, what version of Swype were you using. Just asking as i use both Swype and SlideIT, i can never make up mind so constantly changing between the 2. SlideIT flows better, faster, abbreviations etc but sometimes i type a certain words and SlideIT just doesnt get it, produces the ?? however type same words with Swype, no problem. SlideIT's ugly too so sometimes like the look of Swpe so ive used both for ages, no probs.
Only problem i had when i had both and Touchpal installed same time. On its own, it worked great but when i had all 3 installed, often the keyboard wouldnt respond so i had to soft reset. Uninstalled Touchpal, problem went away.
try latest Resco Keyboard
