Specail Thanks:
- Happy Tapping Keyboard http://d.hatena.ne.jp/KOTETU/00000103
- original skins from http://desftr.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-193.html (it's corrected & modified for non-Jp OS)
- Default_IM_WM5 is a modified version of Default_SIP_WM5 (but can't remember where it's from)

Does this support autocompletion (or autocorrection as the iPhone keyboard software)? If so, in which languages?

The software itself does not support autocompletion, but this functionality is already provided by windows (you get a list with words matching the letters you've typed so far).

I'm also using Happy Tapping Keyboard & have a selection of skins including the iphone. Good application, easy to type with a finger due to it being larger than standard.
Now uploaded to site:

This is fantastic, thanks for your post. So much bigger and easier to use than the default.

Nice !!
Thank you
Where does it come from ? WM6 ?

Finally. A workaround to not being able to skin the WM5 keyboard. Still wish I could skin the default keyboard, tho - but there's never a decert ROM for a device that comes with WM5 by default...

Can someone upload it to 4shared.com, please. Rapidshare is suck.
Thank you!

Just installed it and tested it. Great piece of software. Good bye Resco Keyboard. This make it easier if you want to using your thumb plus it looks great, just like the i-phone. I hope they don't go shut this down too.

Can not get it to load, see it in drop down list, but refuses to activate? Do i need the IM_WM5.CAB? can change between all other choices and Resco Keyboard. Would like to try for one handed smsing. Any help appreciated.

Try a soft reset, a friend had the same problem, he tracked it down to a conflict with another keyboard.
If you can't get it working you could try this ;-)

Another option is phonepad v1.0, Its the best thing i've used for one handed texting ect. Do a search for it, I remember some long posts over this one.

is there an IMSelector for wm03?

I used to be a Palm user since Palm IIIc (do u guys know it?), and my 1st ppc is Asus P535 w/ WM5. So I don't know how to make IMSelector compatible with wm03... sorry.

Hi there!
How to make it my default keyboard. I tried input options bus since it is in other language i can only see little squares. It works if i choose it from the sip menu down the screen, but after soft reset i loose it as default.
Tks!

Don't even try! I did it using sk tools and it ended with a hard reset...

accents?
Anyone knows how to use accents on that keyboard? (or french keyboard)

Hi,
Can I use it under WM2003SE??? I really2 like it! Thanks

I have it on my Magician & it runs fine. Some people seem to have conflict issues with other keyboard software.
only one way to find out, if you don't like it uninstall it.

Top Input Methods

Hi there,
I've just posted an article on my blog about Alternative Input Methods for Windows Mobile.
This is no spam, and might be useful for first comers. Actually, I would have loved to see this post somewhere before (with captures and links), instead of having "search for xxxx" or "it's on the forum" as an answer.
I hope it will help someone to choose a decent Input Method!
The list consists of:
- PocketCM Keyboard
- HTC PhonePad
- Happy Tapping Keyboard
- Fingertouch by Teksoft
- SPB Full Screen Keyboard
- TenGO and TenGO Thumb
Max

thanks
Thanks a lot... its a interesting read for a newbie like me... although i have a qwerty keyboard... there are times when u just dont want to slide out the keyboard and switch to landscape mode, like searching for contacts say...

I'm glad you enjoyed the read!
Thanks for posting back tomjan.

Great post, but you may want to update it to include the much improved PocketCM KB .7 that was released a few days ago.

Great Idea
Hi Max,
great idea to create a thread that compares some input methods!
My favourite is pocketcm keyboard for fast writing of mails, sms etc.
Thanks!

@Urthwhyte: Thanks for your message, I've just updated the Pocket CM Keyboard part!
@petervbeck: Thanks for your messages too, I'm glad you like the post! My favorite is still HTC PhonePad, but it's true that Pocket CM Keyboard is nice and fun to use.

Happy Tapping Keboard..

Could someone post the cab files for these input apps.? Too many to search for. I myself is particularly interested in the PCM keyboard update.
Thx!

2.25.11.1

PCM keyboard update.
just get it direct from his site!....
http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard.php
Always the latest version...besides... the developer of pocketcm has requested that people don't re-host these apps, as of course he is entitled to as it's his work

Could someone please explain the differences of the input methods? I don't know some of them
A screenshot of the interfaces would also be helpful

@Underwaterdub Check my blog post, you'll have your captures!

Here's the Fingertouch CAB. Copy to device, and start it with a tap from File Explorer. Then check out keyboard's fifth layout.
If needed, the manual is available online on the developer's website.

PDAMedia Keyboard
Hey guys,
there is another free (fullscreen) keyboard, it's not listed here until now:
See this thread or the developers-homepage here
Screenshot:

Hey please include a review for Cootek Touchpal, for me it is the best input method yet. I have used all others too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334437

Can anyone do one (with cab file) for XT9? Have been looking around for it!

Me too find the Cootek TouchPal the best so far. In the past I have used SPB Full screen keyboard, PCM, HTC PhonePad but nothing beats the TouchPal.
Regards

Hi Guys,
I've just got a newsletter with a link to an interesting keyboard.
There are two version there, looking very similar, one's free, and the other is the PRO version and seems to do more. The link was:
http://www.fingertouchpro.com/
The guy in the video seems to type really fast with it, I was thinking that it would run well on my Axim's large screen. I'll let you know my first impressions after I install it.
Cheers!

Touch Cruise touch-keyboard layout

Hi everybody,
I got my Touch Cruise and I think it's a great device. The "new" touch-keyboard is neat, but I would like to use a different layout like on this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think this layout is by default in the system, because it started it when I was asked to type my WLAN password. After I did it, this layout "disappeared" and I can't get it to show up again.
So where is the magical switch to use this layout?
Thanks in advance.

I wanted to use the SIP you mention above as well, but was unable to find a way to select it. I'm not sure why it's not an option in the HTC rom, but it is disappointing.
This is not a solution to your question, but maybe something useful anyway:
Have you looked into PocketCM Keyboard? it is a great option and I love it when used with the iPhone skin developed by 2manyphones.
If you decide to try this, you will need to install sipchange by sleuth225 which will allow you to keep PocketCM as your default SIP even after a soft reset.
Hope this helps - and if you figure out how to get the orginal HTC qwerty, let us know!

I have fallen for CooTek's TouchPal Pro. You can use it in predictive text mode or precise entry. It also has a boat load of useful features like input strings (ie. www.<site>.com), a resizeable input panel, and many others.
I have used Resco Keyboard Pro (V3) and PocketCM (with iPhone skin). TouchPal pro is by far the best and most polished solution (IMHO).

This layout appears when you enter passwords or URL's etc, but yes, don't think you can select it as a main SIP even with a sip changer.
I don't like it as a normal keyboard anywys, you have to press the stupid symbol button to get a period.

Hi,
I´m using the PocketCM Keyboard from here , which is close to perfect.
You really might want to take a look at that, especially with the available Touch-skin.
edit: btw the ContactManager itself is very good too.
oh, and hello to everyone..

Thanks for all the replies, I'll look around.
Cheers.

Touch Cruise Keyboard
Hi there, i tested the Touch Cruise aka Xda Orbit 2 today.
I love this keyboard from the Cruise and wanna get it for my HTC Touch.
Is there a .cab, i can get, please?
Thx a lot!

i absolutely hate the touch cruise's SIP with teh XT9 crap
that thing is the devil reincarnated i swear
i have never actually seen the one in the screen shot at the beginning of this post tho..weird
i'm gonna try touch pal, thanks for the suggestion...btw hi everyone im new here too i just bought a touch cruise last week..upgraded from an htc apache

It must be possible to use this layout as a standard. But I don't know how. But I think it should be possible by editing the registry.
Has anyone a clue how to do this?

I'm trying this out seems good so far!!!

This look very good: http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Fr/SIP/SlideIT_fr.php
and this pretty good too : http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Fr/SIP/ThumbKey_fr.php
regards

I'm using PocketCM, which is ok. Think I will try some of the other ones to see if they're any better. Some ppl swear by them on here. It's just annoying when you have Opera 9.5 and the stock HTC keyboards don't work. So you try and select the pocketCM keyboard but just pulling up the input changer menu takes like 5 secs (see the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375260 post by another user). then when the menu finally shows up and I select pocketCM and it brings up the crappy default windows qwerty keyboard. i have no idea why it does that. sometimes i'll get lucky and it will actually show the pocketCM keyboard. and if I do get the pocketCM keyboard, then that one leaves a space between every character. it's all very annoying and confusing as you can see. either way I've never seen the keyboard in the first screenshot.

Wich keyboard best for HD2?

I know EZinput, Finger Keyboard. Resco Keyboard......
Wich one works best on the HD2? In portrait and Landscape mode.....

in my opinion the Touch Pal keyboard in both modes. With the less sensitive cab in addition i write igual as with a hardware keyboard - finally.

touch pal all the way

Oh really looks impressive... i wasnt that happy with resco´s...where can i get Touch Pal?

Touchpal is the best.

touchpal!!!!

I was about to say spb keyboard but if everyone is so waaauw about touchpal then I'm going to try it first

I'm going to stick with SPB, much easier typing on HD2

I am still waiting for my HD2 but on my Diamond 2, fingerkeyboard seems far more accurate and simpler to use than Touchpal. Having said that, I am quite impressed by the Touchpal keyboard and perhaps a larger screen will make it more friendly to use.
I need to get used to swiping... that may be my main issue....
Anyone here know how you can remap keys? That was something I really like about fingerkeyboard. being able to remap keys so I dont have to go into alternative layouts, hit shift, etc to get the stuff I use 99% of the time... all my smileys, ".com", and even "..." were on that one layout.... seemed much faster IMHO... If I could do that with Touchpal and swipe down to get smileys etc instead of swiping to get a different set of symbols, I would be a happy camper!

maybe you should try SlideIT. You can find it here: http://www.mobiletextinput.com/
IMO its even better than FK

I use Touchpal, and I've written an editor for the user dictionary.
It was developed on a QVGA device, but I've seen that it works quite good on WVGA and then on HD2.
I've released it for free on this forum, also.

Trying to find my challenge code, but can't find it. Because I can't find my settings\personal?
1. Go to "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Personal" -> "Input".
2. Find "TouchPal" in "Input Method" list and then click "Options...".
3. Click "Activate..." to bring up "TouchPal Activation" dialog.

I always use the 'compact qwerty', it works better then the original qwerty so think i.
But, still i think that the original qwerty from the iphone better works.
That qwerty from the iphone has some spaces between the marks.
Is that possible to make here on xda?

Yes iPhone qwerty touch screen keyboard is the best keyboard I ever use. It's very accurate, you can't press two keys at same time like in WM. It's like, when you press on key, the radius of invis button is increasing, so if you touch other buttons around, thny not triggered.

Touch Pal freezing and cannot see how to Activate
I have the Me Card filled in under People, which covers the Owner information requirement but the instructions to get to where to enter the registration code does not work on the HD2. At the moment CooTek are unable to solve this.
I was premature in wanting to register as the programme currently freezes when the phone comes out of standby and I cannot choose any other keyboard until I soft reset the phone.
I have Touch Pal installed in main memory.
Any ideas folks?

First of all: Seems to be a great app!
...fast, smoth an convenient to use!!!
But from my point of view it's a little bit confusing to have in the DIALER-Column all contacts listed, even if i have typed nothing...
Ragards!

its nice but when using the t9 dialer, it requires me to type almost full words/stop typing a name before it display my desired one.

hmmm looks very interesting i am gona try it !!!

It's great ))

I really like the interface. I am using MIUI Gingerbread now on my EVO and have decided to make TouchPal my dialer of choice. Also, on a side note, downloaded your keyboard which is amazing as well!
Thanks for all the work!

Awesome, Great work.

Really nice dailer. Much better than the one that comes with Arc.

Seems better than GO Contacts for me too

Nice!
Very nice dialer. It's replaced DialerOne for now. As for feedback; could you make it so that you can swipe left/right to switch tabs on top? And maybe give each contact a "call" and a "message" button in the contact list?

Not a complaint, but more of a question. Why is it that none of the dialers can implement facebook synced contact pictures? Dialer one used to do it but now they dont do it either.
Again not a complaint because Im using this over dialer one right now. just curious

Blame FaceBook... I read somewhere that a couple of months ago that they changed something in the API..... at least that's what I remember reading. For the life of me I can remember where or when I read it.... sorry
@ Cootek... very nice looking dialer!!! Just downloaded it. Will use it a bit and post up my thoughts, concerns and hopes for the future.... ;-p
Just for starters... screen swiping would be nice, landscape and maybe a little more control over how it looks.
But other than that very nice. Looking foward to using it.

Yea I figured it was a facebook thing. But Handcent is able to draw from it thats why I feel like it should be possible to implement them.

Looks very nice and efficient on searches.
Can you add a setting to order contacts by last name?

Just an fyi, doesnt scale correctly for a qHD screen.

Sorry mate but i can't find it on the Market? Or if i search for it on the Market website on my PC? Looks great!

I can only find some chinese app on the market?
EDIT: It was the chinese app. Looks very good and is translated to english when I install it.
Behaps you should make the name change from chinese to english? Very good job though

Good looking dialer, but right off the bat I have noticed a couple things.
1. You have some typos in the menus, the first one I noticed is in the vibration settings for hanging up the phone.
2. I long press a contact and hit delete through the dialer and the contact still remains.
I think I still prefer Youlu.
