[Q] phone keypad download for x10

hi guys.
i appologise if this has already been done but i'm female and blonde and always nedd idiots guide to do things. soon i'm getting a x10 second hand. can't wait. played with it and loved it. the only thing i'm not keen on is the text imput of qwerty keyboard. i prefer the bog standard phone one. have seen the htc_ime.apk download but was told by carphone warehouse this would not work due to theoftware. to be honest i'd rather take the advise of you guys as you know more about what your doing. my phone is unlocked but prob not rooted and don't want to root it as more likely to stuff it up with being blonde asnd all.can anyone help me as want to be prepared for when it arrives early next week.
thanks look forward to your help and advice.

Firstly congratualtions on being blonde and female lol.
http://beta.swype.com/
Sign up for this and pray they re release it because its suppose to be the bees knees, unless anyone else knows how to get it?

yes prob something normal people don't admit. thanks. their site is closed but when i sign up they will advise when open again. great will still welcome any other ideas as not only blode and female but now abnormal!!!!!!

I have trouble too. I think they design them for nimble fingered kids. For me the android keypad is awefull, i use the se one which easier. Not to worry, and welcome to the site

totally agree. don't exactly have fat fingers but so use to the old way. had x1 and managed to get the blackstone keypad which was great. but also told by carphone warehouse this would not work. was told there was some kind of text bundle app that had loads of choices of all sorts but can't find that either. thanks this is a great site and will enjoy using it. learning lots already. hopefully will soon be a competent blonde female.

Yes, it is too small for me too. I use HTC keypad and only used to the phone keypad and not Qwerty keypad.

Install the HTC_ime, as the guy at CPW doesn'#t know what he's talking about. Runs perfect on mine.

that's what i thought when he said it. it actually suggests it on a sony website. and great they even have step by step instructions. all a bit premature as still won't have phone til tues, but v v v v excited, can't wait and want to be prepared. thanks.

Personally, i dislike swype and htc_ime keyboards... The one im using it and which i love it is the Swift Key Beta from the market and its free
i love it. perfect for big hands like mine
do give it a try.
but if u still wana use swype here it is the .apk attached
enjoy
tc

I'm giving it a try now. Seems old so far, quick input too. Didn't realise some of these keyboard apps we're also key loggers.
Fast input tho.

Just downloaded it too. Very weird but pretty good. Another addition to my keyboard collection. Thank you.

i see alot about this handsent. its actually a free app on android market but is it any good? seems to do everything bar putting the kettle on.

i personally use the htc keyboard. tried swype and didnt like it. The stock android keyboard is okay, a lot better then SE's version of it.

Hey, when i downloaded the .apk and uploaded it and installed it on my phone using FileManager, i cant see the Swype app anywhere on my phone. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Go to Prefences and then scroll down until you se Search and click that above Search i dont know how its Named in English maybe Local and Text or somthing like that becouse my X10 is English and then you can select Swype then go to a SMS and click on Write and when the Keyboard is showing hold the left Button down named 12 or something like that then a Window opens then select input Method and then Swype. Sorry for my English i am from Austria and i forgot couple Words so i picked Google Translate for the Words that i forgot.

In my opinion, Swype is probably the best when it comes to typing things quick (I've gotten really use to it and I love it!).
...But it does lag once in a while...
PS- Welcome to the site. BTW Blonds are hot... I wish i was blond...

Hi, anyone using TOUCHPAL ?its pretty good too, IMO. There's a chinese kybd version but u can use it to type english perfectly

[APP] Swype Beta

Anyone elses Swype trial just expire? Is there a new one out there I can get? I can't live without Swype

if you are part of the beta you should have received a email stating there was a new version.

mine expired too. I am part of the beta though, but would rather not have the default theme that it comes with. Default is always boring, hopefully someone will update their themed version soon!

If you look there are plenty of apk's floating around XDA.

the apk's wouldn't work anymore as they are all expired =(

Lucky me.
I also was/am signed up for the beta. When my skinned Swype stopped working today, I simply uninstalled it, and went to beta.swype.com and *poooff* got my new one, which is 2.4.44.10912.t100 BTW.
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
EDIT: do you all think that all our Swypes were mass crippled? I've read that Google has an internal method of taking care of malicious apps that way.
Can developers do the same or similar?
I've been searching all morning for a themed Swype, but all I've come across are upset users whose Swypes stopped working.
hhmm.

My swype waas not legitimate. Mine expired. I applied for beta testing a while ago but to no avail. I'm tiresome of chasing hacked APKs. I'm settling for SlideIT even though I do not like it as much.

they never sent me the beta invite?

@organized fellow, Thanks for the version number
I remember hearing that all the swype versions have the kill clock built inside, which will eventually go off. I know 1.56 was a really popular download, so hopefully it was something in the source APK. Google, I don't think has any kind of ability to shut down pirated software yet, but it is on the way, since so many developers complain about their apps being stolen.

Try Ultra Keyboard. Enable tracing, for swype usability.
I am lucky enough to be a beta tester for swype, but I no longer use it, as I use Ultra Keyboard

Maybe you can help me. I've purchased Ultra Keyboard and have 2 questions that I can't get answered.
1) How do you work the translate function
2) When I use it in landscape mode, using OfficeSuite Pro, I can't see what I'm typing. A button marked "execute" appears, but pressing it seems to do nothing.
How can I see what I'm typing? and what does "execute" do?
Thanks

No HTC Keyboard

It looks like my HTC keyboard is gone? I am using a very basic, I would think stock looking keyboard. How do I get the polished one back?

I use Smart Keyboard Pro and I use the white HTC keyboard. Well that one or the Samsung Galaxy S one (I loved it on my Vibrant). It also has the Android standard grey(ish) tint keyboard and iPhone as the 4 standard keyboards. you might want to check it out
*edit* oh I misunderstood your post I think. So are you talking about the Touch Input keyboard that comes installed already is missing??? That's the only polished one on there besides the Swype that comes standard. That dragon diction one is vile lol. If you lost one of the preinstalled keyboards I don't know what to say, sorry. I hope it gets resolved for you!

did a backup with titanium.. just found it. i can push it back on there now. good thing i backed up

Nope never mind. Can't get it back. Its htc touch input 2.0 or something. I can't get it back now. guess i'll never know until i can unroot and exchange device.

can anyone send me a link for the htc_ime that comes with the phone so i can get my keyboard back? apparently i didn't back up this file

make your own!

I dont have the phone yet, just ordered it last night, but someone should be able to just adb pull it from their phone.
Edit: This isn't from the phone itself, but its working on my vibrant. Might work for you.
Just adb push /system/app
then reboot and it should be installed.

I just got mine today and I am hoping root (one click method) is made soon, I cant get adb on my machine.. but anways I too want my htc im keyboard back. I have used the link theinetnot posted, but I am not sure which version I am supposed to chose. Anyone know?

Try the one i posted.

Swype Official download. YES OFFICIAL!

I created this thread in desire HD section as i own one but thought everyone shold know
All Android users looking for Swype but cannot get it, your in luck. head over to http://beta.swype.com
i happened to be looking at the site and noticed that they have started registering again for beta users. I registered and got Swype beta free. PS its a December 2010 build
SO hurry up before they stop registering.
Register for swype. activate the link in your email and then download to your device. login with your username and password and USE
and its official! Too be honest i looked everywhere maybe finding a working cracked version as i cant use the HTC keyboard because i'm addicted to Swype but no need for a warez Swype. Just register for the Beta.
Beta version works perfectly too. tried and tested last night.
No cracks, no trials, simply an official method of getting swype. Feel free to thank me if this helps!

Make sure if you have a previous build of swype you uninstall

Warning,
Doesn't have all the languages that the old unofficially got Swype 1.6 beta..
misses like half or more for example finnish language.

I got this yesterday its badass

This is legit!
Finally a FULLY working Swype on my Droid 1. I only did the English/Spanish choice.
Thanks man.

Cool. Im not sure what languages it has yet but will have a look later. Just payroll the full version if you are looking for other languages

Thanks a bunch. I've got this on my Desire Z and didn't like it when I used it on my Xperia X10... but it's fantastic! I was just too lazy to go through the tutorial the first time around lol
It seems a lot more intuitive and much improved. I'll show my wife tonight because I signed her up too. This is awesome when I'm too lazy to pull out the keyboard. And it's actually kind of fun. I've been spamming all my friends with random texts

I wanted the DHD but it's bands don't work with my wireless provider. The DZ didn't disappoint though. WOW. Sense is amazing. Using the Virtuous ROM and it's blazing fast.
Can't believe I paid full price for the Xperia X10 and suffered for months with it!

will this work with a resistive non multi touch screen?
only reason i ask is i have swype on my hd2 (capacative, multi touch)
My tablet is wvga running android 2.1 - i would like to be using swype on that too

SlideIt is much faster in my opinion, and there is even an option to add words that the keyboard does not know/

With Swype yeah. say for example you want to add the word ikhzter into the dictionary, because my name isnt in the dictionary.
Type it in once, I K H Z T E R, and it will automatically add it to the dictionary, next time round just slide the word not tap and it will automatically put it in as it saved it last time.
swype is much clever, instead of clicking add it auto adds, to delete just highlight a word and press swype key to delete neat i know

It still beta though , it will expire by the end of the month
I've been using SWYPE beta in my Motorola OG MileStone 2.1 for about 3 month now , Im reinstalling a new beta from SWYPE website every month now

Better Keyboard disappeared?

Is it just me or has better keyboard disappeared off the market? I had to reflash generic UK and root/go back up to 2.3.3, but when I restored with Titanium Backup, I got the unlocker for Better Keyboard but not the app itself.
Now I'm stuck in an odd position where I can't find it on the market for whatever reason. Can anyone else check their market and see if they can see Better Keyboard?

I cant find it either, just a lot of other better keyboard add ons there. Might be worth emailing the dev and asking about it, if not see if there is a back up apk somewhere

Found it, I assume the dev changed name:
Better Keyboard 8
Here's the old link Old Better Keyboard 8

Their developer account got busted for some weird reason google apparently saw valid. But i assume they are back in buisiness .

I really like Ultra keyboard, does so much and is so customisable but needs a bit of an update - also you have to disable it to use the dpad/touch pads which is very annoying, I love swype and I love swiftkey, I just want them to merge together that would be the best keyboard!

I have Ultra currently, I like it I just haven't worked out how to add a smiley key to it, and it mucks up my colons (puctuation mark - not bodily organ ) every time I try to do one. It is good though.
On a related note, I must be the only person on Earth who doesn't enjoy Swype/Swiftkey at all! Everyone seems to rave about it, yet I can't stand it!

Bit of an update guys, apparently the Developer account was pulled for some dodgy skins in Open Home. They're not going to deal with Google again, but the apps should become available on Amazon App Store soon!

Better Keyboard moved to SlideMe

Sorry to summon gost of the past, but someone knows what happen with this keyboard?
I used all time but recentlt I plaing with roms and want instal it again.
Or maybe someone knows good keyboard with chunky buttons most of them got small and my big fingers always pushes wrong ones.
Thanks

Sorry to revive a year-old thread, but seeing as people who search for better keyboard will see this thread on google, the viable option for those still wanting to use it is to either install the Amazon store or find the better keyboard APK. Both can be found with a google search. "Better Keyboard APK" "Amazon app store APK" For those who dont know what an APK File is (Making this new-droid user friendly) you copy the APK file onto your device and select it with a file manager to install it.
