here is the default keyboard that comes with the recent official update. it is multitouch which is quite nice, but you still can't get rid of auto caps.

Awesome. Thanks bro
HUGE improvement over the 2.1 version.
Why in this day and age would you NOT give your flagship phone a multitouch keyboard?
I've been using HTC_IME_mod for days now and didn't realize 2.2 stock kb was multitouch.. thanks for the heads up.
OP, what do you mean you still can't get rid of auto caps?
it auto capitalizes the first word in every sentence.
HTC_IME mod needs an update

Hold down one key, while pressing on another - if the second key registers while you're holding down the first key THAT's Multitouch.
i.e. Press and Hold "A", while holding press "S" quickly. Your screen should read AS
So it is or isn't multi touch? I don't remember it being but thought I would ask before I bother to download.
i am using the keyboard that comes with cm6 nightly....is this different / better?
No workie in Cyan 6 rc1. I'm having a hell of a time finding a kb that works in froyo, cyan 6.0, and has the direction arrows.

Hi, it is different. Cyanogen uses the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) as a source and in turn does not convert proprietary software like HTC's Sense and associated keyboard. You are using the stock froyo keyboard. The HTC keyboard imho is the best for the platform currently.

Same result here - installation failed on CM6 RC1. The HTC_IME mod (hires v27)keyboard does work though (the 2.1 version ported and modded). I even attempted to use the Clicker.apk from HTC_IME mod package and then install this to no avail.
Can anybody confirm that this works/doesn't work with the CM6 nightlies?
I just tested it based on the criteria he described and it is multitouch.
I have confirmed - sadly - that this results in an Application not installed error in CM6 nightly - 08042010-010952.
Dpad or magnifying glass
Correcting my errors when typing is painful with no Dpad. I have been looking today with no luck.
Anyone know of an app that works like a magnifying glass similar to what the iPad has?
Why is it that I get a error saying there is a problem parsing package on? Ive seen it a couple times.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
Hello,
I tried some HTC FRoyo+Sense ROMS, and really love them, but I am a cyanogenMod addict.
I am missing the HTC Sense keyboard. I know that I can find it easily on XDA, but with froyo+Sense, I have seen some cool changes on the keyboard ( to switch easily from une locale to an other, because I am using french and english all the time)
Where can I find an apk to install this new keyboard?
Thank a lot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608
There is an Froyo version around ;-)
Yes, I have seen, but if I am not totally wrong this a version of the Eclair HTC keyboard compatible with FroYo.
That is not the new keyboard from HTC.
To figure that, maybe you should try one of the leaked ROM Froyo+Sense, you will see some new features on the keyboard, like the button to switch langages easily. That feature is not in the "old" keyboard.apk
I hope you understand what I mean, because it's not easy to explain in english.
Did you try to rip it yourself? Download that HTC_IME mod, unzip it... and take a look at what files are actually installed.
Rip those files from one of the 2.04 or 2.06 based Sense ROMS, and push them to your AOSP Froyo rom.. see what happens.
Yes i understand this but this HTC_IME is able to do this gestures, too ;-) Or u like to have the look of the new HTC_IME ,too ?
I see i have to upload the Froyo Version here it is :
Install via Astro or anything else (Dont push)

HTC_IMEmod (installable on non-rooted phones) makes it possible to change languages by using the volume buttons when the keyboard is up.
Other keyboards like smart-keyboard-pro also have a button to change languages on the keyboard itself.

Hi.
By any chance, is there a way to have the directional arrows just like in the Evo and HD2?? I have an HD2 that I changed to android. now i have a stock android keyboard
Anyone have this in apk? I like the way it switched the language from English to Chinese, which is not included in the HTC IME mod, they don't have the Chinese available in the mod,

For anyone else who gets this error you just need to turn off signature verification. I like the new keyboard, though I thought you could hold shift with one finger and press the number you wish (Like a PC keyboard) but maybe I just picked that up wrong from the youtube vid.
Deleted android keyboard with titanium backup. Boot into recovery and apply zip. Works beautifully.

So is this a patch that needs to be flashed over the original file or is it the entire keyboard and everything? just so i know for future reference since i flash new roms all the time, dont want to be flashing two keyboard files if i dont have to.
Looks like the BlindType technology/code/whatever definitely has not been implemented? At least not yet.
Yes I am running the word prediction fix, but the text input in the BlindType promo video does not even come close to being recognized with this keyboard.
Bummer. Still pumped for the new software though.

In reply to everyone here, if you already flashed the original file, just flash the other one over it as an update. No, it doesn't need to be renamed.

Wow, this keyboard is fantastic.
some way to work in predicting other languages, such as
Spanish?
Can we use this on the MT4G ROM that Evil made? Or is it only CM6.1?
Thanks a lot for sharing the fixed version! I just flashed it in Recovery (without uninstalling anything) and it worked like a charm.
My reaction:
Better than the Froyo keyboard by a fair amount, but by no means mindblowing. I bet on a slightly larger screen it will be the bee's knees. I kind of miss the swipe-up to display numbers/symbols and am still getting used to losing another line of screen real estate to the permanently-visible line of punctuation marks, but it will definitely be more useful.
Aside from pressing and holding the keys marked with a number, is there any other way to entire a string of numbers consecutively? I tried holding the shift key and tapping on numbers, but that only seems to cycle between shift-modes.
And finally, I think in the Gingerbread thread someone joked that the keyboard looks like it's Halloween themed. I'm inclined to agree
Overall-- pretty swell!
Tried on MIUI rom, it seems definitely less impressive than what I thought it was going to be. No more sliding up :/ no multi-touch :/ and not a big improvement on fast typing errors. But I really like the colors! Maybe it just doesn't work very well because it's on froyo and MIUI?
I just tried to reinstall Swype beta after upgrading to 3.2 but get an error about the screen size into being supported. Anyone find a work around for this?

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.
