I'm not 100% sure this is it since I don't have my Nexus One yet so I need someone willing to test.
I found it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFh9RKsN6w&feature=player_embedded
This is the same one that's pixelated on the Nexus One. Also, doesn't stretch the full screen in landscape mode.
It is still the pixelated version. That wouldn't even bother me that much if the correction bar on the top fit on the screen and wasn't horribly warped.
Damn sorry then. The one in the video looks good though.
do you need to be rooted for this? Because I tried it using an appinstaller. It shows up in the clicker, but when I create new messages, it reverts back to the stock google keyboard.
You have to go into the settings and enable it, then when you're in a message box click the box and hold, then select "input method". You can alternate between the 2.
haha ya i forgot to do the "hold" part in the message box. thanks!
pixelated...but at least i don't have to switch back n forth for numbers and punctuations. can't wait for the non-pixelated version w/ microphone key =)

We'll need a high-res 2.1 SenseUI device to come out - probably need to wait for a Bravo leak.
Yep, works fine on N1 running MCR1.1 but pixelated. Will have to live with that for a while as it still beats the hell out of the standard Android keyboard...
Is the file linked from youtube the same as this file?

So I emailed HTC to find out if they will update the htc_ime.apk so that it will work on the nexus or look properly I should say. I am currently waiting for a response... let you guys know when I get a reply. I will post it.

Ha good luck with that. They won't update it until they release a phone with the Hi-Res Sense UI.
Most likely we'll have to wait until a bravo dump is leaked or another sense UI device w/ a hi res screen's dump is leaked.
I'm running HTC_IME on the N1.... its great to have it back, only complaint is the lack of the dedicated 'microphone' key thats in the default keyboard... so AFAIK once you install HTC_IME you can NOT dictate text messages and the like
Does anyone know how to edit the dictionary for htc ime?
I don't know about editing words but you can erase it by going into your settings > applications > keyboard > clear data.
I installed this and it works great but my only issue-request would be to add more languages. The option is there, when you go to settings from inside the keyboard, but unfortunately, only english is available.
In the past, people have made language packs...could someone do on for this? pleeeeeeeease?
Thanks,
Lou
I used to change com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml file to enable dual language on my htc ime. I was wondering if this can be changed in the apk before installing. I dont want to root my nexus.
Thanks
Anyone have any idea what that task killer widget is he uses in the video? Basically its sitting on the homescreen and kills the tasks with one click, no need to open an app...

Hey guys finally someone has gotten smart enough to make the first multi touch keyboard. It's called Smart Keyboard in the market and its free. It's still in beta and is very buggy and ugly. They keyboard is going in the right direction, maybe someone can build on it and perfect it? Thanks.
Care to share some pictures??

You can see the screenshots in the market. And it doesn't look THAT bad. Basically a white version of the stock keyboard.
Multi-touch seems to help my typing a lot. Even without the auto-correction (which is supposedly going to be added in the Pro version later on), I can type almost perfectly, compared to the many mistakes I make with the stock keyboard.

I agree its definitely a step better than the stock keyboard. One problem is that it doesn't show the letter when you hit it, it's just blank. Cant wait for a pro version or for someone to make a more improved app.
very nice keyboard indeed. the vibrate option doesnt work on my n1. its also missing the voice input but istill like it because it implements multitouch correctly unlike the stupid stock kboard
So I just downloaded app and selected it from language & keyboard settings but I still end up with the stock KB. Any ideas on how to switch it?

Hold down on a text box and it should say "Input method". Click that and should display the keyboards you have installed/enabled.

Alright fixed the problem thx!
Still needs quite a bit of work. All in all, it sort of reminded me..why exactly do we need a multi-touch keyboard now? Sure ive used the iphone keyboard....but it doesnt make a world of difference if the OS isnt built around the function.
fantastic find. using it to write this response and this is an amazing fix for me. not sure if it is the multitouch or not, but either way i like it
pretty good missing some features but i feel a bit more accurate with it.
Not bad! This has a lot of potential...
ill run it again once the bugs/fixes are worked out

vibrate works fine - just very faint.. it's a light pulse rather than a strong/long vibrate.

You can tell its multi touch if say you hold down the A key and then press the J key it will type the A then the J right after it.
Wish they could add holding Q for number 1 etc like the HTC one!
Only thing I really want.

No auto-correction?
Newest Version: Believed to be the same version on newer T-Mobile MyTouch 3Gs
Older Version: (uninstall previous version first)
</b>
<font face="verdana">
Oldest Version: Said to work on the Eris
Just installed it and it works on my Hero
1. Download swype here. (if for some reason it downloads as .zip, just change the file extension to .apk)
2. Transfer to your Eris via USB
3. Settings -> Application settings -> Check Unknown sources (You all prob have done this before but my n00b friends had not so I thought I would mention it anyways)
4. Use a file manager program such as Astro File Manager and go to the location you stored the .apk
5. Install
6. After install go to Settings -> Locale & Text -> Check Swype
7. Open any email/text client and hold down the text box and you will get a popup asking what you want for input. Select Swype. You only have to do this once and it will do it for all your programs.
8. Disable Audio Warnings as it seems to give errors as well located at Phone settings -> Locale & text -> Swype
<b>I recommend reading the tutorial. Helped me. This is very sick. I now love one handed emailing and texting as its so simple.
alternative link:
*known bugs*
1) If you do not check "Disable Audio Warnings" in the Locale & Test > Swype Settings you will get repeated force closes.
2) Installing seems to disable the ability to click and hold to delete icons on the homescreen, widgets work fine.
3) There is no option to tap on a word to edit it while in Portrait mode, reports that landscape mode works fine.
[highlight]Mod Edit: No Swype Links Allowed[/highlight]
holy balls i might need to include this in my rom.
Incredile simply put! Thanks ALOT!!!!
i think my mind has just been blown away...
if you get force closes, disable the sounds in the settings... i did until i turned them off
also, doesn't seem like you can select and edit words like it says in the tutorial
thx! It works awesome! except, you can't just hide it when you want to I noticed, like the normal HTC keyboard.

Just saw the Spanish dictionary in there so great.
Man, I was sceptical about swype when I first heard about it, but it is freakin wicked!
I wasn't too sure about this either, but it's growing on me! I'll have to run it through it's paces over the next few days and see how well it works for me. So far so good.
I suggest going through the entire tutorial.
Also, those not sure how to get it running as your default text input, just tap and hold onto a text input place to select the new default, you can always disable swipe at any time by doing the same thing. It doesn't replace anything that I can see, just another app to use.
Thanks for sharing OP!
this just made text input infinitely easier on this phone.
Wow love this so far thanks for the find.
Works great but I get FC when i hold down the backspace button to delete words. Works great if i just tap it but holding it down will always FC
EDIT: Turning off sounds fixed the FC
i used to HATE text input, but now i'm texing everyone i know! my grandmother! my ex-girlfriend! my sister's husband!
its awesome. if your skeptical just try it. (only takes a second to install) its freakin awesome.

Working great for me on 2.1 Darch Legend V.5.
You need to install the .apk, then go into settings >> keyboard >> enable swiftkey
Next you need to go into swiftkey settings and download a language pack.
After all that, long press on a text entry box and select SwiftText.
So far it is pretty great at predicting what I am about to type in 2 letters or so. I love Swype..but I am willing to give this a try for awhile.

I have not had any problems using it on DamageRegaw ROM. I think I downloaded straight to phone from the email link I received and then just installed using ES file explorer.
I hope that helps. Word prediction on this keyboard is interesting.

Look in settings >> language and keyboard >> and then under the sub-heading "Text Settings" there is a selection box next to the name "Swift Key". This is the same menu that you get into the Swift Key settings at (the check box is not within the Swift Key settings).

thats just it there is no box to enable it. nor is there one for the stock android one or the htc keyboard. they are all lined up but no enable. tried to reset after i installed and phone locked up so dont think it will work on dc v2 or maybe its just the damagetrev im running which is a faster version of dc v2
Eh, its better then stock, but once you try swype, its hard to type with anything else. If only swype had the voice thing like stock android, that would be awesome
OMFG!!! that looks awesome. so here's the question, if i want it how hard is it to try and then if i don't like it how hard to get rid of it?

I'm faster with Swype than a physical keyboard. I have installed it for two G1 owners recently after they got a hold of my phone.
No problems with darchlegendv5 I tested by just pushing space and if typed this " up to the business of Parity shall be liable for the use of the individual or entity to which it is a bit of a man they are trying to trace in connection with the word. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person." Exactly what I wanted to type. Crazy smart keyboard, but I think it's pretty nice thus far just a little slow.

It's pretty all right, but honestly, I prefer HTC_IME mod right now. The autocorrect options are better, it's far more customizable, and--most importantly--there's a comma on the damned keyboard for which I don't have to take any special action to use. However, once we have, say, a Multitouch_Keyboard mod, I will **** many bricks, and be pleased.
downloading now will report.
yeah by far. htc keyboard for correction and style etc... but if somehow implemented multitouch into htc. yeah thatd be great. im curious if this works on evo. havent tried
Ehh no force feedback... And why is there no dedicated comma button?

It's disabled by default, but you can turn feedback back on. I don't know if it works (I don't like it and haven't tried to use it with this keyboard), but the option is certainly there. Now, as for the comma--no clue. I'm sad about it, though.

Google is your friend.
But it is a customized HTC keyboard that has a plethora of added features. It is IMHO one of the best tap keyboards available. I use Swype though, which is IMHO the best gesture based input system available on Android.

You already posted this when someone called you out. Can't you just be normal and type in normal face or do you ALWAYS feel the need to stand out like most QUEENS and make a scene? I'm not trying to flame but...
Yes, I said what most are thinking and/or have told me.
don't know how any of you got this to work, i tried all roms and even went back to stock, it would either give me FC or just not show up..
Worked without issue for me... actually, it seemes to hav some trouble installing, but it showed up without issue after it installed for sure. Using it right now, actually. Needs better correction, predicition, and long-press for special chatacters. If I knew anything about leet hax, I would be all over combining this with HTC_IME mod right now... I'd like to keep the look and multitouch of this keyboard, obviously, and eerything else from HTC_IME mod.
/me keeps on dreaming
where can i find swype apk from?
From the beta, perhaps? Just go to their site, and it should be there.

Once you download it you'll need to put in on your memory card. After that you'll need a file manager (install ES file explorer or Astro file manager from the market). Than use the file manager to navigate to the apk on the memory card and start it
But you won't like the widget... The buttons are messed up.
Better get something different from the market

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but want to throw out an offer here rather than starting a new thread. I'd be willing to pay someone if they could get the task widget fixed to run on the Sensation. As stated in the thread, it works but its buggy. If interested, shoot me a PM.
Oh man, thats one of my favorite widgets from HTC. Hopes someone can modify it...
mine too! now i'm cnm 7.1.0.1 and the only thing that i realy miss is the htc note widget. how can i get it back?
Back to Sense ROM it's the only way to have sense widgets working.
I love that little apk too but sadly not able to use it on my sensation.
However, you can try TO DO LIST WIDGET (by Chrisbailey).
I use to replace Work 2.0. You need to change the default setting a little to make it look like Work. (The settings is very visualized and easy to setup.)
Although its not 100% the same (looks and functions similar enough though).
