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

Swiftkey alpha new keyboard for testing and tweaking

Cant seem to get this app to work on a 2.1 rom. part of an alpha tester group. Anyone want to give it a try

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.

in your swype settings, do you have word prediction ticked?
you always need to tick that on installing! lol
so just go to keyboard setting, or tap the swype key when your writing then pres options, andmake sure its ticked

word suggestion& auto-correction are on.

Swyped from my HTC Sensation Pyramid using my thumb and eyes

I tried both. i even uninstalled, cleared all swype data & tried that, no dice. charging phone now to do a hard reset & see if that works

Just did a hard reset & still getting this stupid bug.

For me to add a new word that doesn't exists, I first have to manually type it and select it on the word suggestion bard (because auto correct will try to suggest a "correct" word). After I select the word, the option to "add <word> to dictionary" will appear for me on the word suggestion bar and pressing it will add it to the dictionary (Somewhat like stock gingerbread keyboard).

yeah I do that & it says that it added the word, yet when I reswipe it it's not added. I can do this 10 times in a row & it still won't stick

So I'm apparently an idiot & my Swype does work. I was under the impression that when it said 'Add "xnifex" to the dictionary' it was notifying me that that's what it was doing. I wasn't aware that you had to tap that notification for it to work. On the HD2 if you manually type in a word it's automatically added to the dictionary so I thought it was the same behavior. Yay for the swype team helping me out.
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?3769-Can-t-add-words-to-dictionary-on-brand-new-install

Did you actually clicked on "add <word> to dictionary"? Unlike on Froyo, where Swype saves a word after hitting space, now the users have to confirm the action by clicking on the right above the keyboard.
I was so used to the old swype, it took me 2 days to realize that...

Lol well done mate
Swyped from my HTC Sensation Pyramid using my thumb and eyes

I'd just like to add that I had this problem, I was tapping to add to dictionary and there were literally no words in the dictionary, it was basically a tap keyboard. I uninstalled with Titanium Backup, then installed the Full version instead of the English/Other language one. This one has a dictionary and will save new words to it.

Thanks guys, I learned something new today;-)
Swyped from HTC Pyramid, using XDA Premium App.

I just want to say that I had the exact same issue as the OP. I thought that it was automatically adding the words to the dictionary, but some bug prevented them from appearing or something. I just wasn't clicking the "Add "word" to dictionary".
To be fair, it's not very clear on the UI that it's something that you can or should press. It doesn't have a question mark at the end, which would make you realise that it's ASKING you something, not telling you something.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Swype is the best. My only problem is the word bar above the keyboard. I find it distracting, and hard to get used to. I've looked everywhere trying to find a way to turn it off. Besides that, swype is 1,000x better than what comes with the sensation.

LISTEN EVERYONE..to solve the problem download a app called ''SMS to swype'' and it picks up every word you type from all the keyboards you used and saves them to the dictionary SOLVED

Swype 3.0

Just installed the newest release of Swype, beta 3.0, on my CM 7.0.3. The predictive is vastly improved. But, there is some significant lag on the entries sometimes. Going to sere if that improves with a couple of reboots.
How is everyone else doing with it and on what roms?

Tells me I have an invalid license on miui. I've been a beta tester since their first sign ups... their customer service sux cuz I have emailed them about this a few times with no reply.

Does the 3.0 have a mic?

Click to expand...

Mic doesn't work for me. I see a blue outline like when something in Swype is broken when I try to use it. However, the improvements to me are worth the upgrade. It has a better word selector, more similar to stock/sense keyboard.
Worked fine on CM7 and Synergy for me. I always restore data for the installer from ROM to ROM. I think that preserves the license correctly. I also ran it fine on Hybrid Sense 3.0 as well.

I'm really not liking some aspects of it.
1. Before, it would pop up a list of word possibilities and I could hit the little x if I didn't like any of the choices. Now, I have to delete the word manually to give it another try. Takes longer.
2. I like the single-click correction, but it causes grief sometimes. For example, if I know I want to insert a letter or apostrophe into a word, I click on the word and the cursor immediately jumps to the end, and then I have to click again in the position where I want to insert, or use the track pad. Again, takes longer and sometimes it jumps to the end of the word a second time. Very annoying.
3. I don't like having to touch a new word twice to store it. Much rather have the previous implementation where I just manually typed the word and it was forever memorized.
Some things are nicer, like being able to use predictive text when typing each letter, but overall I think I'd like to revert to the previous addition. I'll give it a few more days.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I like so far, like that when I'm writing a weird word, like a product number I'm googling, it does not get stored. also the fact that I always get the word selector, sometimes I it annoyed me that it would not pop up on common words with similar trace lines as non common.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App

So far so good for me. In previous versions after a reboot Swype stopped working and I had to re select it to get it to work. I haven't had this problem with V3.0
Microphone is also working well now.
Running on Optimized Shift now with no problems.

Experienced same thing. Uninstalled and and ran the installer which installed 3.0. After new install it worked for a day or two until it said Beta Expired so had to generate new code but took just about 10 seconds.
The backspace is a real pain in the butt when the predictive text is incorrect and for those of us who have a foul mouth in text with our friends, it likes to replace a certain F word with duck no matter how many times I add the F word.

any way to get the predictive bar to stay there all the time so it doesnt snap the keyboard up/down ALL the time?

It stays in landscape, vanished in vertical.

FWIW, it seems to be working great for me on MIUI. I do have to admit the jumping up and down with the predictive bar gets annoying.

My predictive bar is always on top of the keyboard, just blank inbetween words, not sure what everyone is talking about regarding the jumping around *shrug*.
I love the new word choice style. I used to always tap the bottom word when trying to go to the second page of choices and now that mistake has been eliminated. While it does lessen screen real estate a little, it also doesn't cover what you're typing, the webpage you're on, etc which is nice.
I also love that I have the choice to add words after typing them rather than being automatic. Before, captcha phrases, words like aaaaaahhh!, etc were always added and got in the way sometimes.
The automatic correction is okay for typing but it annoyed me that I had to confirm my choice when I swyped or else if I moved the cursor somewhere else to add a word in, the cursor would go back to the end and replace the last word instead. I just turned the auto correct option off and everything is perfect for my tastes!
As for the person upset about losing one touch delete/undo for wrong words via the 'x' button, if you tap the swype key it highlights the word behind your cursor and you can swype over it with a new word, which is pretty close, it just involves one more tap to delete if you don't want any word there at all.

Themes and apps form is for discussing apps and showing people new apps. for example if a new market apk came out it would be posted in themes and apps. Or if someone makes a theme for an app like making the market default to red instead of green for example or making a theme for a rom it would go here. Anything you lable with a [Q] should go in the Q&A forum.
And swype probably isn't compatible with 3.2 yet maby check out the xoom forum and see if anyone got if working there

Agreed.
I get the error as well with Swype, but I already have it installed. I am still able to use it after the error.
Most likely Swype will need to update on their end.

Update from Swype
It is worth noting that if you are a Swype user it will stop working when you get 3.2, there is a bit of a workaround here:
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?4255-3.2-upgrade-and-Swype-don-t-play-well-together
but it is not perfect.
The key is not to uninstall the Swype installer (like I did), if you do you can't get Swype back.
A new version is promised, but no date.

I did the work around on the swype website. It work ed for a little while but than stopped.
Went back to flex9 swype option. Until the swype fix is out.

Thanks for heads up about not to all uninstall it. I've just been doing upgrades with no wipe and it still works. Stock --> Prime 1.6 --> Prime 1.7.

Just saw this thread but hadn't tried my swype after 3.2 update yet. Just gave it whirl. Got an error message that said I had a screen size not compatible with installed version and I should contact Swype. After that it seems to work fine.

As Swype have decided to wait to fix this until their next release (I can see their point, but it means I am without a critical part of my EeePad) I have installed SlideIT Soft Keyboard instead, so far I can't see any reason to go back to Swype, their loss.

From the swype forums, they say they should have
