I've seen in the forum before there's a link to download the CIME keyboard which extracted from Acer. But that apk have a lot of bug. It's just only work in full-screen Hand Writing. I took a look around and can't discovered anything about this thread for a long time. Few days ago, I walked in to the mobile center in Xiamen, China then asked them that how to make the Nexus One to be able use CIME with stable Hand Writing mode. They look at my phone and said that taking a breath. Not too long, they return me Nexus One CM5.0.6 with fully functional of Chinese Hand Writing mode. No more waiting, I use Linda Manager to back up it for you.
How to install
1.Copy the file to your SD card.
2.Menu > Settings >Language & Keyboard
3.Select language & region to be 中文 next one from the last that's mean Simplifies Chinese.
4.Launch Linda Manager what can download from Market.
5.Browse the apk and install it.
6.Back to Menu > Settings >Language & Keyboard (Please use your sensitivity to go to setting because of this time it's Chinese).
7.Check at new check-box to on.
8.reboot. <-- recommend
9.Change your language & region back to English (I used Thai-ไทย it go error just can use with Chinese and English but the another I haven't try).
10.Enjoy with CIME. This version has also extracted from Acer V.1.0.0
Summary
Do not forget to install on Chinese region mode unless you do, you will face with force close in keyboard setting.
PS.Sorry for my bad Eng. I'm Thai.
Thanks. This works great.. ！
This is actually a pretty stable Chinese handwriting IME. Much better than the one extracted from HTC and it's a APK....Love it..Thanks a lot for sharing..
Just a side note, any file manager will do it, there is no need to use Linda manager.
I didn't changed my region setting to Simpfied Chinese and still able to set it up.
Yes, it can set up but can't adjust some setting.

ขอบคุณมากครับ หามานานแระ
i can't get it to change to english only chinese is there anyway to change it?
It would be great to have a possibility to choose one keyboard for portrait mode (for example: swype) and the other for landscape one (for example: htc_ime).
Swype is great in portrait mode, but it sucks in landscape one (too large distances between the letters, swyping is slower than two hands typing, and a 'normal' typing using swype keyboard's layout is not so comfortable).
What do you think? Is it possible? The time to switch between keyboards wouldn't be too large? Memory utilization would be small enough?
Not sure if it is possible but I personally would also like the option to set the default keyboard per applications.
Why stop there? Would be great if there was a way to swipe through different keyboards in any app. Then you could just pick the best one for your current application. Of course the above feature would be great to have included with this.
Maybe some dev will pick up on this. Agree that it would be nice to have.

+1. i would love to use the Graffiti keyboard for some of my medical applications as the swype keyboard is useless when it comes to hunt & peck typing of words that aren't in its dictionary.

+1!! great idea dude!!
how bout swype on the stock 2.2 keyboard mixed with htc_ime compact qwerty ???? FLAWLESS . "BEST" Keyboard EVER !
but swype + stock 2.2 keyboard,, would be a great thing !
Google get ON THAT ! pls
agreed a mod would finaly help bring the greatness of swype in portrait and HTC_IME in landscape would be amazing...
only issues i see coming from this is how will the OS juggle the two keyboards ?
this makes me jealous of people that have a keyboard android phone.. they can use swype and the default keyboard and not worry about the landscape swype.
It's been asked/suggested many times but it's simply not possible.
In Android, you cannot change input method (keyboard) without user interaction for security reasons. Think about it this way; would you want a malicious app that mimics the exact look/functionality of your keyboard, except that it logs/steals your every keystroke and is automatically enabled as the input method without you knowing it?
The security is in place to prevent that exact type of situation.
Minor correction/clarification. A third party app cannot switch input method automatically. Which means, creating an app to let you customize what keyboard to use in what orientation/app/etc simply cannot happen. A keyboard can, however, programmatically switch itself to another keyboard on a given event. The only way this could ever happen would be for both keyboards you wanted to use to have this functionality built into it (ie, htc_ime keyboard knows to switch to swype when going from landscape to portrait and swype switches back to htc_ime in the opposite). Given that these are both closed source keyboards (granted, htc_ime mod rocks) this will likely never happen unless the developers themselves were to do it (especially since we can't post swype apk's anywhere).
From: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/InputMethodManager.html
A client application can ask that the system let the user pick a new IME, but can not programmatically switch to one itself. This avoids malicious applications from switching the user to their own IME, which remains running when the user navigates away to another application. An IME, on the other hand, is allowed to programmatically switch the system to another IME, since it already has full control of user input.

Is it impossible even on a rooted phone?

Unless you are running a custom Rom that specifically removes or bypasses that type of security (which would be foolish IMO) then the exact same restrictions from my previous post apply. It would take some serious core changes for this to ever be possible.
I know it isn't exactly what people are requesting, but what about a shortcut it widget that brings up the manual keyboard selection dialog? You could then map that to the long press search action our something similar. Maybe have it stay resident in the notification area so you can change keyboards on the fly without having to be in a text dialog. My main use to switch is when I am in a terminal window, which requires me to close out and bring up the search dialog, long press, change input methods, go back to the terminal... Pain in the ass, since Swype can't delete in a Connectbot shell one typo means going through that process to switch to Better Keyboard so I can complete my task.

This is possible. A third party app can trigger the choose IME dialog to pop up. I'll try to throw something together this afternoon. You could then use an app like bartender, quickdesk, etc to setup easy access to it.
Does anyone know how to use the standard 2.2 keyboard with the microphone button instead of the TNT keyboard?
Bump, cause I wanna know too!
I'm running TnT 3389 with rothnic's enhancement pack v.1 and the 99% market fix. I'd love to have either the stock Android keyboard or something like Swype beta. Ideally I'd like to have voice input and some navigation arrows for editing. While I'm wishing, any chance of copy/paste getting enabled?
I downloaded the Anysoft keyboard from the official market but can't seem to select it from settings>language &keyboard. When I try to select it as my input method of choice, I am offered the warning about it saving credit card #'s, I click OK, then it goes back to the settings>language & keyboard menu without the checkbox next to Anysoft being checked.
What am I missing?
Can't use alternate keyboard with stock ROM
The stock stuff does not allow you to use an alternate keyboard. Sigh....
EVERYONE should call the Viewsonic support number and demand that they enable all 2.2 capability and not block things. If they aren't allowed to install Google apps, that is OK, but they should not srop things like alternate keyboards. All settings that are in a stock Android 2.2 should be there.
Guys!
Does anybody know how to add more languages for Gingerbread keyboard in TNT_Lite 4.2.2?
Actually I need Russian.
I installed MoreLocale and chose Russian - it translated all menus, but didn't give opportunity to pick Russian in Input languages setting...
I appreciate any advices.
Thanks!
You need to find the libjni_cyrillicime.so lib file the libjni_latinime.so is the english file. It needs to go into the /system/lib/ dir.
Didn't help me.
I even installed Gingerbread keyboard from market - but can't choose it from Language&Keyboard setting.

What ROM are you on.
Vegan, and Adam allow changing of the keyboards easily, TNT-lite (due to TNT) did not till 4.2.0
On the google search bar long press, and the selection menu will show up allowing you to select the gingerbread keyboard.
the gingerbread keyboard was installed by default in 4.2.1 TNT-Lite, 4.2.2 added the adam keyboard.
Hope that makes it clearer
I use TNT_lite 4.2.2 (latest one).
And yes, I know that I can choose between keyboards.
Bot none of them has option "Russian".
I tried to replace libjni_latinime.so to one that comes with my Nexus One - didn't help.
Adam keyboard setting crashes every time that I touch Languages button.
If I install any keyboard from Market - I can't activate it in Settings menu.
Checkbox doesn't become checked.
So I still have the same problem.

[UPDATE 8/29]: TouchPal V4.8 Beta2 has been newly released! To update the new version, please download the new apk from the original link and install this new version after unintalling beta1.
We did the following updates:
1. Support slide-down symbols when enabling Curve. Show up commonly used punctuations in last row.
2. Support “Touch to reselect” feature. The user could Curve all the words and goes back to reselect candidates by “simple click and choose touch to edit” or “double click”.
3. Optimize symbol view to full QWERTY.
4. Improve the precision of Curve recognition.
5. Support smart spacing. Now we add space after each word candidate.
6. Allow to install TouchPal main program to SD card.
7. Support 10+ languages.
8. Fix other bugs.
Thank you all for your great feedback on Beta1! We will listen to your feedback and keep improving!
(If you want to apply for beta testing, please click on this thread)
Up to now, we have received thousands of beta testing requests. We have been sending the beta version since last Friday. Thank you so much for your great support!
FYI, we are currently working on an updated beta (beta 2) based on the first round user feedback. Hopefully it will be done in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned.
If you have any feedback, you may also reply here in this thread.
FAQ:
1. How to extract and install the beta apk?
You need to extract the downloaded zip file on a PC using compression tools such as 7zip with the unzip password we sent to you. Then copy the extracted .apk to your phone’s SD card. Run the .apk file on your phone to install the keyboard. Then enable it in the Settings->Locale & Keyboard.
2. Why can’t I use TouchPal Curve, while the predictive dictionary works fine?
You may need to enable Curve in settings first. Or when you go through the tutorial, Curve will be enabled by default.
3. How to get double letters in TouchPal Curve, e.g. “happy”?
You can slide over the letter only once, and our prediction engine is smart enough to figure out the potential double letters. NO need to draw tiny circles on a letter like you did in Swype. For example, if you want to get the word “happy”, you can slide over letters “h,a,p,y”, and then you will get “happy”.
4. If I didn’t get my desired word after sliding, can I double click to edit it, like what Swype does?
We will add “touch to edit” function in beta 2 to improve this experience.
5. TouchPal Curve is good for long words. But for shorter words, why it often gives me wrong suggestions?
This is a known issue and we are working on a fix.
6. Can the keyboard be a bit larger, and how to close the toolbar?
You can enable “Enlarge keyboard height” or disable “function bar” in TouchPal Setting>>Keyboard layout. And we will improve our keyboard layout in future releases.
7. It is annoying to have to go into settings every time to toggle Curve.
We will design a shortcut to conveniently toggle Curve in the next beta version.
8. What’s the blue “A-book” button on the left bottom for?
This is for enabling/disabling the predictive input. Once disabled, it will be in precise mode.
9. Why some buttons don't work when using hard keyboard?
Because Droid X doesn’t support the ALT and CTRL button in hard keyboard, and we are trying to fix this problem.
10. Can't I "swipe" punctuation in Curve-mode?
We plan to adjust our keyboard to allow to swipe punctuation in next beta version. Currently, you can long-press to get the punctuations.
11. Can I customize my tools panel or change skin?
The tools panel can be disabled in Settings. This version doesn’t support skin. It would be supported in the future.
12. Why I can't hide keyboard like in demo?
It's a special feature for demo to prove you can blindtype, and it's not in the release version.
13. When will the next beta be delivered and when will be possible to test others languages?
We will deliver our next beta in a few weeks later and other languages will be supported in the official release.
14. How can I add my user words to the dictionary?
Our keyboard is smart enough to remember user words after you type them several times and will predict when you are sliding.
15. What is the latest version?
The latest official version is v4.7.6. The beta version is v4.8.x, which is a new version with more wonderful functions we plan to promote.
16. Why I don't receive any responses from TouchPal?
Because some members suggested that our thanks replies would disturb this thread, I click the thanks button instead of replying to everyone. But I have delivered all of your suggestions to our developers.
16. Where can I download the language packs?
I have corrected the download links. You can go to this thread to find language pack links.
17. Why only three bottom row of symbols is visible?
It's a feature not a bug. We just show up commonly used punctuations in last row to support slide-down symbols when enabling Curve.
Besides TouchPal Keyboard, TouchPal Dialer is another app that helps you find contacts quicky in T9 keypad, display caller location, and much more. Search "TouchPal Dialer" in Andorid market and it is free!
Again, sincere thanks from TouchPal team!

This new keyboard is stupidly fast and accurate. I love the interface and the simplicity of the layout. Awesome so far!!!! I will give it a go on my tablet a bit later and see how it fairs. Very clean and no lag as of yet.
Dev, good job!
I was using touchpal keyboard for some time(the previous version), and I see a lot improovements both on user interface and usability. It is the best keyboard I've tried so far.
Unfortunately it is unusable for me, because of language support.
So, I'm waiting for greek language support
P.S
If you want a translation to greek, PM me the resource files.
12. How much will Touchpal be after the beta period?
I don't want to use it and get hooked and then find out the final version will be $10.

No, that won't be the case. You'll get a good surprise after it's released.

But it won't be free right?
Really enjoying using this keyboard. But, a touch to correct feature (a bit like the stock Android keyboard and like Swype) would be a great addition.
Also, how will the next beta be delivered? I noticed there is a check for updates option in the settings. Will we use that? And finally, any idea on timeline?
Please add auto spacing for continuous "swiping."
Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk
Two minor quirks I have noticed.
1.) When I am replying to a text message, it will not auto-capitalize the first letter.
2.) When I hit the paragraph button and then start a new sentence it will occasionally capitalize the first letter of the first two words and then transcribe normally.
Would love the option to disable the auto-correct when space is hit. I like to have the words and corrections on the bar as suggestions, but the ability to not have them auto selected whenever I hit space.
Love the keyboard so far, I have submitted multiple feedback bug report emails per the initial request.
I would like to try the beta please.

Wrong thread, you want to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188114
I have a few questions
1. My main keyboard has been SlideiT. IMO it has been the best one for me. One thing I really like about that keyboard that I can't seem to get in this one is adding words to the dictionary. With SlideiT, I can type out my different email addresses and then add it to my library. So when I need to type them out I just slide over the first 3 or 4 letters and select the proper address. Can this keyboard do that?
2. When I try and slide my wife's name (Mandy) it always changes the keyboard. It's going from M to A.
I would like to see a better tutorial video explaining all the details of the keyboard.
Thanks
+1 on the tap a word for options. When it gets it wrong and auto-correct puts the wrong word in it is extremely useful in other keyboards to tap the word and get similar options.
I also wish there was a "compact view" similar to the expanded view in portrait mode which would crunch it all down a bit. The regular view takes up more than 50% of the screen, which is way too big to text inline effectively and see a few texts above the current one you are on.
Also the send button on the bottom seems unnecessary.
great speed and accuracy for the most part, just some small tweaks that break the flow and make it a bit of an adjustment
In the video, you used a blank canvas as a keyboard. I desperately want that feature, but can't find it any where. That's the only reason i wanted to try this keyboard in the first place. If there isn't one, back to swype.
Epic keyboard
My gripes are: that it needs better word learning, i want to configure the keyboard as i type my ebonics and slang instead of writing it out over and over.
Better swyping accuracy. Why cnt i just type the letters of a word in no particular order and have the keyboard pick up the word im trying to say. Swype does it.
Also it needs a broader word dictionary for easier corrections

I tested the keyboard on my viewsonic g tablet and noticed that when I swipe the path doesn't follow the letters, all the letters I seem to go through draw a path out to beyond the bottom right of the screen, so after I type it loks like a spiralgraph. Secondly, when I try the voice to text, it launches the voice yo text but it doesn't exit and enter the word after I stop speaking.
