Yet Another Keyboard App

Got this from lifehacker, trying it out now. (2.1 only though)
http://lifehacker.com/5499047/thickbuttons-predicts-and-enlarges-letters-for-better-android-typing

It has some pretty ****ty reviews on the Market, so I will pass.

Wow
Looks pretty interesting OP! Let me know how it runs with the Hero and Sense UI and all. If you say it's a must have, I will jump on board.

I've been using it since last night. I like it, but it seems either I am a little slow, or it is. Definetly can't type with it as fast as I could the stock Sense QWERTY - maybe I'm odd...well there is no maybe about it, I am odd.
Edit:
I figured it out, I can't ever hit the space bar on the first try, it never seems to register unless I hit it 2 or 3 times.

funny most of the apps i run have gotten "****ty" reviews but they are great .

I tried it. I found it laggy by comparison to the android app. Turned off the vibrate and it was still laggy. Worse part for me was that I was already expecting each letter to be where it usually was, but in some case it made other keys larger and moved the other keys in to places where I kept misspelling words. I had to give it up.

anyone ever seen/tried Swiftkey? It seems pretty good with current AND next word predictions..kinda what TouchPal used to be for WinMo

Haven't tried ThickButtons yet but I've tried everything else and Swype is still my favorite input keyboard, by far.

Third.
Before switching to the Hero I carried an iPhone for a few years, so I'm plenty accustomed to onscreen keyboards.
After using Swype, though, I have to say it is an absolute must have. With the iPhone keyboard, I got to where I was just as fast as I have been on any smart phone hardware keyboard. But with Swype I'm nearly as fast as on my desktop keyboard.
I now consider it to be essential enough that I might even consider illegitimate channels if my current version expires and a legit channel isn't opened up.

Has anybody tried Smart Keyboard? Free version is good enough for me so far, and i like it better than any other keyboards i tried.
But I haven't tried Swype yet..
And what i really like about Smart Keyboard is that it has option to turn on foreign language keyboard, and since im using Russian keyboard sometimes it's a big plus for me to have that quick switch on a good keyboard instead of changing input method.

Anyone mind pointing me in the right direction for a copy of the swype app? google and forums search fail me.

I hate when people say a app sucks because they get one fc. like you only had it for 15mins and you already saying it sucks. When i read reviews i still like to see and use it for my self with out believing 100% of the review

i've heard that paid members on modaco have access to the beta swype wants input from "android power users". this is a rumor and don't quote me on that. i'm not trying to start trouble. i got an email a short time ago about it but i'm just fine using "swype lite" maybe someone could put that in the search bar or google....

Yeah, just tried two different swype beta sources and couldnt get it to work. Kept saying my trial period has ran out.

Swype "Hidden Word" annoyance

This is getting out of hand. Swype is constantly popping this "this word has been hidden by blah blah blah previously entered into the dictionary" tip. At first it was tolerable but now it's getting out of hand with this "tip" popping up at least once in 10 words... I mean, I saw that tip so many times that I can recite it's content in my sleep! Looked everywhere but can't find a way to disable this annoying popup... Anybody else running into same issue?

Just spell the word right the first time and you won't have that problem

i had that annoyance too with the word "ehart" (is that even a word lol) and "what".
What i did was type "ehart" letter by letter in the text message screen then selected all, and pressed the swype button. That process deletes the word from the Swype dictionary. Afterwards, there was no problems.

This version of Swype is VERY annoying with the pop ups, even if you spell (swype) correctly.

It is terribly annoying. There should be an option to disable that window in the Options, but there isnt.

yep already thought of that, one problem tho... i also write in russian (but using english similar-sounding letters) and as you'd expect there are quite a few "gibberish" english words that got stored in swype dictionary, and also, i had cases where i use tech/street jargon that cause that "tip" to pop up too... so nah, spelling properly isnt really the solution

anyways, glad to hear i'm not the only one pulling my hair out over this issue... hopefully we'll get it resolved soon

+ 100 thousand, its mostly with small words that it happens, you would think after a few weeks it knows what words you favor lol. and please no one suggest using another keyboard, because thats just...why?

soo... no solution?

nope. contact swype.
delete all the words that are hiding the correct word. is that right?? yeah, sounds right.

You're definitely not the only one, it's annoying but I'm still a big fan of this keyboard.

yea love the keyboard but it popped up so many times i literally went back to the old stock keyboard lol

That will only work if you haven't intentionally added words...which is part of the functionality of the keyboard. What they need is an add-confirm like on the gb keyboard.

I was having the same annoying pop-up. Just for fun, I decided to check to see if Swype was completely up to date on my phone and apparently it was not. So I updated Swype and it seems like that annoying box has gone away now. I have not been typing a ton, though, so it is not fully tested. I may be the only one dumb enough to not try updating before... but if you haven't tried yet I recommend it.
Go to the Swype Installer app on your phone and see if it says there is a more recent update.
Hope that helps.

Where did you find a swype installer app? I don't have one, and it's not in the market.

mine is 2.17.59.15552.t100, which I think is the latest.

I thought it was popping up because my finger kept hitting the i button for tips next to the Arrow you use to capitalize words, not because I was spelling things wrong. Mine does not pop up for spelling words wrong, I believe you guys are hitting the i by mistake like I do sometimes. But, it is annoying, and should be removed.

i have an unrooted evo but i dont have the swype installer

THANK GOD I'm not alone on this! The stock Sense keyboard -- and now that I've flashed CM, its keyboard -- work fine, but who doesn't type one-handed? Swype is still the best for it.
Anyway, REALLY hope this gets fixed.

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.

I'd suggest you remove the ad from the top if you're saying it's especially suitable for devices with small screens.
It's taking a big chunk out of my Galaxy Ace.

Or, provide a way to remove ads, for example, download a paid licence.

Yeah. Until then, guess I'll wait till it will be removed.
May be u make a 'one time click for today' ads. Means those ad will come back again tomorrow after user have pressed it once a day.

Interesting, let me try. :fingers-crossed:

Really small
This browser is really small , I try it just now ,very fast.

As soon as I noticed the ad right on top I uninstalled it. Lame.

Kudos for a really fast browser. Suggestions :
1. Ads should be placed at bottom. As design language says that browsing experience has to be least distracting. And our eyes while browsing gaze 60% of screen from top. So shifting ads to bottom on a slimmer bar will solve problem to some extent. If this free version really wins heart partially it will automatically pave the way for ad free premium version.
2. Please implement holo theme for menus or just design a fresh UI for yourself. But don't include gingerbread design. This makes the browser a foreign feel on ics and jb. Best option would be to go for a signature menu, design like opera or dolphin did for themselves to keep consistent over various os and creating brand impact.
All the luck with your effort.

Please note that the app uses an in-app purchase mechanism for the option to get rid of ads. That option will not work (and might even crash the app) if you don't have Google Play available on your device. All other functionality of the app should work fine.

Good work, my SO would have needed that a few weeks ago, but I just edited the savegame file and added some coins(needs root of course).

Well, I see at least one useful usage for a captcha solver; to bypass annoying hard to read captcha that can bother blind people using a screen reader.
Also I believe it would fit in a penetration testing kit for web apps, i believe this tool could turn as a very effective tool to bypass this type of authentication measure.

First off, great app, but there seems to be some issues.
I have an htc one s and it seems as though the OCR does not pick up certain letters like "I" and "W". Additionally, it seems to take a lot longer to solve compared to other apps, and if you want to add a letter after the screenshot is taken, you have to wait for it to load. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks. I actually wanted screenshots from the game itself so I could figure out why the detection was failing for your phone's screen size. The screenshot you sent me is from my app. Although it includes the game screenshot, it is resized version, and hence no good for me.
Anyway, update v1.2 is available in the Play Store. Now it won't start the auto-processing after image detection if it doesn't detect all the letters. So you can fill in the missing letters manually before hitting the GO button.

Sorry. Here are two examples

Good idea and well execution! i really enjoy the playing the game in apknite. but i wish it has more levels to play and harder gameplay in the end. feel like it's still the same like the first few level. easy for the kid, but not for adults.
