Alternate IMEs for N1?

Does anyone know if the HTC IME will work on the N1? I prefer that to the default Android VK.

Yeah I'm already missing the HTC IME.

try and installing it from cyans rom thread??

I tried installing the HTC IME with no luck.

Actually, you're in luck. Because I believe cyanogen said the first thing he plans on doing with his nexus one is porting the htc ime.

Yeah I tried the HTC IME from the Hero 2.1 dump and it didnt work either.

I have the HTC_IME working fine on my phone, it's a little pixelated since this screen is bigger, but it works flawlessly

Cyanogen 1.6 worked for me but only looks good in landscape.. otherwise you can see pixels and no voice..

Swype works quite well with the N1

It's free, too. Only complains about resolution every so often.

Does anyone know where a system dump or specifically the htc_ime for the Bravo/Passion is? The N1 and thise share the same screen, so that dump should have the right file.
Would solve the issue of pixelation and the incorrect width in landscape...

HTC_IME for N1
Is there an APK for HTC_IME? I had it on my MT3G and it was great! no need to switch to get to numbers and symbols. just press and hold
thanks!

The one on the MT3g and G1 works, but it gets stretched and doesn't look as good.
Otherwise, it is ok.

And please keep it to the right section. Additionally, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612985 search is your friend.

Hmm it just makes moe sense being in the development section since it's being extracted from the Hero, and that requires a developer to extract it. So didn't bother looking in "Themes"

Stock keyboard

Hey guys, I was wondering if there's a way to get the normal android stock keyboard on my HTC hero (Sprint). Thanks!
Jason

i was wondering this as well?
is the stock keyboard more responsive or quicker then htc's? ido love htc keyboard but if stock is any quicker and faster i might try that

Using the search function of the site pulled up this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5223276
Once again, using the SEARCH function I was able to find that in no time at all. Try it sometime.
Not trying to be a **** about it but yeah... Anyway try swype. It is pretty awesome once you get used to it. I wasn't convinced that I was typing faster using swype but when I flashed a rom that put me back on the HTC keyboard I realized just how slow and weird it felt to tap the keys instead of drawing on the keyboard. Not that I suggest it, but it makes it much easier to text and drive as well. But don't do that. Focus on the xda-forum search for now. Its up at the top.

already tried swype, liked it just wanna try stock, and on that post noone can get it to work

Swype Lite

Okay, first off, this is based off the new Swype Trial Release from the TMobile MyTouch 3G.
I removed everything but the English QWERTY boards, and optimized all the PNGs to be half the size but similar quality.
Good news? The APK went from 5584 KB to 1281 KB. <

No problem. Just hit me up when you need something.
Looking forward to a new skin the current one is pretty ugly on our heros

anyone want to post a mirror RS is such a PITA

I take it this is the same version you released in the first Swype thread just with the changes you mentioned.

yes, it is the newest version with the changes. only english qwerty.

Something without blue that kills it.
I would like one that resembles the stock hero keyboard from sense ui. While it is not the best keyboard i have ever used i still like the look of it.
That or maybe just something that flows with our sense UI a little better the skin now looks like it doesn't belong on our phones

wow lol you know your wireless connection is bad when it takes 45 seconds to a minute to download a 1.2mb apk. Stupid UMiami wireless has been weird lately

This version is more stable than the other one which kept FCing whenever I would hold down a key. Great job.

I had to remove the old Swipe via the Manage Applications settings, but it finally installed and works like a charm.
Thanks!

Lol, I was just about to post that you MUST un-install any previous versions of Swype first.
As for skinning, I made some for Fingerkeyboard back when I was into WM. You are more than welcome to use anything from those if you want.
I was going to try to skin Swype but I honestly don't have time (and my wife is ready to shoot me for the amount of time I spend on here as it is).
Thanks for optimizing this for us. Looking forward to your future work!

something like this?

or the easiest route would be for me to just remove the blue buttons like so

it's going to be a lot of work, so i guess i'll wait and see if this board has a demand for it before proceeding further.
penny for your thoughts xda?

Removing the blue already makes it look better.
The pic you posted above with colors close to what we have now was nice as well.
cant wait to see what you do.

Hmm, not sure you are right about this. This keyboard is for sure great,.but gingerbread keyboard has all important base base features, like multi touch key combos. It also looks attracting. And best, we will have full sources for it, which makes it much more easy to expand.
It might attract an active developer, time will show....

I really hope this is possbile on the nexus s. The HTC IME keyboard is absolutely indispensible to me. It in my experience has by far the best spell correction out of any keyboard I've tried. No other keyboard can I mess a word up so bad, add in a few extra letters than the word has, or not have enough, and it will still figure out what I'm trying to say.

Big thanks, gimpsta. I've been playing around with the keyboard generator since last night and it's an awesome service :]
I also have a wild, nubby question:
Probably the only thing I love about the stock Froyo keyboard is the upward-swipe gesture that extends the number and punctuation rows above the qwerty layout. The long-press method on HTC IME is alright, but not quite as fast (for me) as the upward-swipe.
Is that something that's even possible to incorporate into this mod? Or is it sort of an apples to oranges kind of thing?
Thanks for keeping everything up to date. If I know myself well enough, I'll be back to your generator in about two days to whip up another layout

You can set long press delay to 250 ms which is much faster to me than swype up on stock kb.

Love the keyboard!
Mainly using Swype now but HTC_IME mod still rocks

Thanks buddy! Thits what I get for not digging deep enough in the settings. I got too dazzled by the swipe features and missed out in that option-- it's totally what I wanted. What stock Froyo keyboard? :]

is it possible to get some features like multitouch etc from the Gingerbread keyboard? or maybe use the Gingerbread keyboard but modify it so the interface looks exactly like this one?

I really love the HTC_IME, but I can't make it work with HD2One with "lcd_density=200".
Could you help me ?
I think the keybord doesn't feat the resolution

I have this on my G2 and has there been an update to fix the bug that automatically capatalize the 2nd letter when using the physical keyboard?

The first part, no. As far as making the gingerbread keyboard look like this, it could probably be skinned to look like this and maybe some features added, but if you really want THIS (htc_ime mod) keyboard/feature set with multitouch I highly recommend smart keyboard pro. You can skin it to look just like htc_ime (or anything you want) and it has literally every feature htc_ime mod has and then some.

It's really not possible (or at least very easy) to modify the resolution of these keyboards without source. If there isn't one that works for your resolution then there isn't much anyone can do at this moment, sorry.

I was unaware of this bug, not sure how I'll test it without physical keyboard, but I know Jonasl has left behind some code for debugging physical keyboard problems. I'll look into it tonight.

I have a Nexus One with last Cyanogenmod but I'm unable to use this keyboard!
I've downloaded the High Resolution v27 for Android 2.2/Froyo but when:
To change keyboard, long press on lower left key on stock keyboard or any input field. Select input method in the menu
ANYTHING happen...
where is my fault?

HTC IME without arrows

I can't seem to find the one without arrows, but the htc ime mod lags on me sometimes so i was wondering if anyone knew where i could find the stock htc ime without arrows that works with a stock sense rom.

oopss.......

What ROM are you using? Caulkin's rom has a modded keyboard only difference is no arrows. Not sure if I can rip that somehow but is is just the IME mod works without lag same as stock though. Also if you use a swype with expired trial it just works as a normal keyboard (no swype, or mic functions also its blueish). Also a red swype from the droid floating somewhere in the forums I picked up a while back. One you get used to swype its hard to go back to normal keyboard. If you are need any pm me ill see if I can find you the thread or where I got them.

If your still looking for it, its in the second post of the thread below. I have tested and it works.
