Stock android virtual keyboard - Droid Incredible Themes and Apps

I'm use to default android keyboard from my nexusone, can't stand this HTC one... anyway to get it on the incredible currently?

Ditto for my Moto Droid software keyboard. I would think it's just the stock android kbd, but not sure. Any links would be greatly appreciated!

I would also love to have the stock keyboard if anyone has the file

Do the keyboard calibration and see how you like it then....
I did and type faster than any other keyboard ive tried on my old moto droid
very smooth now and fast

calibration
Is the calibration you're talking about in the keyboard program or is it a stand alone setting on the Incredible? Thanks.

From home screen, hit menu>setting>language & keyboard>touch input>text input.... scroll down to Calibration Tool.
It's just a tad bit buried

I can't find the tool, where is it?

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.

No auto-correction?

[REQ] HTC HD Mini Keyboard

Hi everyone,
I'm locking for the keyboard that is on the stock HTC HD Mini Rom. HTC made an update of the keyboard and i'm very interested in the keyboard in the HTC HD Mini for my HTC HD2. If anyone can help me to found a cab for installing it, it would be great !
Thank you for your support,
Lorhdak.
What is different from the hd2 keyboard ?
Much more precise and bigger because there is no more the arrow at the bottom.

Or you can go for Nikoan89 ezinput 2.1. Thats the older version of the kb for devices with smaller screens. Its rather cool and the arrowz can be activated when needed..

Yeah I tried that but it seems to break my HTC messaging, had to uninstall it. I would like a keyboard without the arrows though, especially in landscape.
Swype doesn't have the arrows, and it can be used just like the stock one, OR you can actually "swype" each key like your supposed too
How to use Swype like the stock one ? When we don't swype and type fast it swype everything lol^^

Swype is a pain in the arse to use if you're not "swpying" each word

I agree thats why I really dont like bothering with Swype personally and stick with the stock HTC and the good predictive Text.

I remember this keyboard and trying it with my Touch Pro2 and haven't bothered even trying with the HD2 because I love the HTC Messaging Client. I do however love the arrows on the keyboard but would like the option to disable them when wanted and it would be really nice to see the option to minimize it easily like Android.
As far as the HD Mini, I would love to see the Notification Bar/ Screen ported for us because it has the task manger built into it as well and I would love to see that as well as the plain black theme for 6.5.X.

[APP] Android 2.2 (Froyo) Keyboard apk for 2.1 (Eclair)

Do you know if Froyo's keyboard works on Eclair? Can someone share the apk with us so we can use the nice(r) stock keyboard on 2.1?
Interesting in this keyboard, too!

You can pull it off the rom. Just unzip it and look for it.

the apk, anyone?
I've already pulled it and tried it. It targets the API level 8 (Android 2.2) and wont install on 2.1. If someone were to take the source and modify the Manifest, then maybe we'd be in luck, but we have no source yet, so it's not likely to happen.
I just think its inexcusable that you need to hit the symbol/number button to get to a comma. Swiping up gets you # and &, but no comma?

Actually, when you hit space after a word it should suggest some common punctuation in the word suggestion bar. That was one of my favorite things about the 2.2 stock keyboard.
We have the source now...any possibility this can work? I'm dying for this keyboard. Well this or maybe the stock multi-touch keyboard that comes from motorola. It seems like no android keyboard can come close to the iphone, which makes no sense to me considering how open this OS is. Swype is great for one handed typing though...but i need something more.
Bump..
This keyboard would be awesome on 2.1

Anyone know where to find the HTC IME?

Does anyone have a version of this keyboard that is multi touch? That is the ONLY thing that I don't like about it. I still can't find my perfect keyboard (I've tried them all too!). Every keyboard has pros and cons. I like the HTC IME keyboard along with swype. Swype also does not have multi touch (for when I tap my text in) and I cant get used to the numbers not being across the top of the keyboard...
