HTC_IME for Nexus One [Pixelated Version]

http://drop.io/p12auxn#
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...

Smart Keyboard

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.

Lot of raw potential

No auto-correction?

renamed it to apk for everyone.

Screenies for ya

Where did this come from? Interesting....

From the DroidX

How is it compared to Smart Keyboard Pro or Better Keyboard?

my two requests for it are for someone to fig out how it to use the stock dictionary and get vibrate to work! then this would be best keyboard ever.

What is the major benefit to a multi-touch keyboard? Can it actually keep up with my crazy quick typing now?

Would be perfect with working haptic feedback.

yup that is all it needs.

personally, i don't like the haptic feedback....multi touch will be awesome however

It already is multi touch.

some of the option text and ampersand seems to be in html encoded form. After you write and highlite a previous word sometimes it shows suggestions. That's my thoughts for the time being, any other apks op?

i know this..i'm saying it will be awesome once installed !

I have to be rooted to install this, correct?

ugh, it still does the smart keyboard pro thing where it won't register the first letter if you release it at the same time as the next key is pressed.. anybody else know what i mean?

Agree with the dictionary suggestion.. not crazy about the size of the letters or the combo. /, button next to the space bar. I'll try it out for a bit and see how it goes. Seems pretty good otherwise and multitouch works as it should. Thanks op for posting this.

droidx keyboard for d/l

hey not sure if this is new or not didnt see it but
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/06/24/download-multi-touch-keyboard-from-droid-x/
havent tested yet

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.

dumb question but what is the HTC_IME mod?

Haptic feedback doesn't work even if enabled through the option. Sound works though. Although this keyboard looks nice, I still prefer the Swype keyboard more.

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.

UM you press the period comma button twice and it gives you a comma

Dude i live thus keyboard, works awesome for me because i've been waiting for a multitouch keyboard since the iceage!

...Oh. I was wondering why it had both on there. THERE MAY BE HOPE YET.

tried it out, actually kinda crappy keyboard imo. its slower, not as good for prediction. yeah it can multitouch, but not important if its not as good. maybe if they implemented multitouch into htc

when i heard about the droid_x dump by gbhil, i grabbed it ripped this and a few other things out and tossed them in an update for my newest mod. i normally use swype, but if its going to be a regular kb i like the latin ime vanilla android kb with voice. i havent tested this one extensively, but from what i see its clean looking and fairly responsive. i just hate no longpress #'s. that killed it for me​

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.

[Q] HTC Task Widget

Alright here is the case my mom had a htc task widget on her My touch Slide with t-mobile. She loved it. Well she just upgraded to the HTC Sensation. She has the notes widget, she doesn't like it. She wants her task widget back. I have found on here people with htc desires with it and an apk. would this work on a sensation here is the link to what i am talking about.

It's called Notes.

He did say his mother didnt like notes though

download and give it a blast, if it doesnt work then uninstall, but i feel the resolution will be an issue as the sensation has a higher res the desire.

For some reason, I've read it backwards
BTW, the task widget in that link works, but it's buggy.
It's not built for Sensation's screen...

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

Hey thanks to all who answered me, sadly i do have to say it did not work the buttons were off center and it was a bit small but when you clicked the add button and then done it would not add a task but thank you for all your help it will help from here on. I am going to try and find another version. MUCH APPRECIATED

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).
