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
Anyone have any idea what that task killer widget is he uses in the video? Basically its sitting on the homescreen and kills the tasks with one click, no need to open an app...

Newest Version: Believed to be the same version on newer T-Mobile MyTouch 3Gs
Older Version: (uninstall previous version first)
</b>
<font face="verdana">
Oldest Version: Said to work on the Eris
Just installed it and it works on my Hero
1. Download swype here. (if for some reason it downloads as .zip, just change the file extension to .apk)
2. Transfer to your Eris via USB
3. Settings -> Application settings -> Check Unknown sources (You all prob have done this before but my n00b friends had not so I thought I would mention it anyways)
4. Use a file manager program such as Astro File Manager and go to the location you stored the .apk
5. Install
6. After install go to Settings -> Locale & Text -> Check Swype
7. Open any email/text client and hold down the text box and you will get a popup asking what you want for input. Select Swype. You only have to do this once and it will do it for all your programs.
8. Disable Audio Warnings as it seems to give errors as well located at Phone settings -> Locale & text -> Swype
<b>I recommend reading the tutorial. Helped me. This is very sick. I now love one handed emailing and texting as its so simple.
alternative link:
*known bugs*
1) If you do not check "Disable Audio Warnings" in the Locale & Test > Swype Settings you will get repeated force closes.
2) Installing seems to disable the ability to click and hold to delete icons on the homescreen, widgets work fine.
3) There is no option to tap on a word to edit it while in Portrait mode, reports that landscape mode works fine.
[highlight]Mod Edit: No Swype Links Allowed[/highlight]
holy balls i might need to include this in my rom.
Incredile simply put! Thanks ALOT!!!!
i think my mind has just been blown away...
if you get force closes, disable the sounds in the settings... i did until i turned them off
also, doesn't seem like you can select and edit words like it says in the tutorial
thx! It works awesome! except, you can't just hide it when you want to I noticed, like the normal HTC keyboard.

Just saw the Spanish dictionary in there so great.
Man, I was sceptical about swype when I first heard about it, but it is freakin wicked!
I wasn't too sure about this either, but it's growing on me! I'll have to run it through it's paces over the next few days and see how well it works for me. So far so good.
I suggest going through the entire tutorial.
Also, those not sure how to get it running as your default text input, just tap and hold onto a text input place to select the new default, you can always disable swipe at any time by doing the same thing. It doesn't replace anything that I can see, just another app to use.
Thanks for sharing OP!
this just made text input infinitely easier on this phone.
Wow love this so far thanks for the find.
Works great but I get FC when i hold down the backspace button to delete words. Works great if i just tap it but holding it down will always FC
EDIT: Turning off sounds fixed the FC
i used to HATE text input, but now i'm texing everyone i know! my grandmother! my ex-girlfriend! my sister's husband!
its awesome. if your skeptical just try it. (only takes a second to install) its freakin awesome.

So I flashed Flipz Rom, and fell in love with the HTC_ime keyboard mod that doesnt include the arrows that the stock HTC keyboard does... I flashed Damagecontrol and it didn't include it, so I went hunting for it and found it in the N1 forums.
-No arrows to get in your way like the stock keyboard
-Very customizable

installed, works. thanks!
Do you need to be rooted? For this mod to work? I'm on unrooted stock Rom.. installed it but the arrow keys are still intact.

Its not a mod. Its a whole different keyboard. You have to activate it in the settings and then long press on any text field and change it from Touch Input to this.
Thanks... finally got it to work. I totally forgot to long press
@Auramaster, great find... Thanks
Anytime guys, just trying to help the Evo community
Oh my,......this is much better,....thank you!!
With all these options is hard not to get overwhelmed and lost,....does anyone know if there are color options?

Tap uninstall and then go back and Install it. I believe this removes the older version of HTC_IME then you install the skin version

So does it make the other buttons grow a lil or they are the same size, but the directional buttons are just gone.
If I rename the file and keep the same extension will it load up ok? It should right?
tried this but don't like it.. eventhough it removed the arrow keys, but it's missing the "hide keyboard" key. I use that often when typing in username password on websites that are zoomed in..
^ Hitting back removes the keyboard if it's up. Just saying, so no need for the keyboard drop down button.
I simply assigned swipe-down gesture to hide the keyboard. Convenient.
I read that some people are seeing the new version of Swype that's supposed to be released 6/16 in the market but I'm not. If anyone has it could you please post the .apk? Thanks.
its not on the market you have to go to beta.swype.com and give them an email address you can access from your evo and they will provide the instructions...better hurry, no telling how long they will be offering it. I got it on mine earlier today.

Did you get the final version? I've only seen the beta version 1.56 that has been kicking around for a week already.
I believe this is a new version.had its own installer.don't recall there being anything on it about a beta like
Before.

thanks, i just registered and am waiting for the email
I got an email last night at around 10pm.
Downloaded it... it was it's own installer. Installed it, works awesome. Not sure if it's new or old or what.
It says "version 7625" in the manage applications menu.
yes just got the update link yesterday
yes swype is back open for beta testing I dont know if it is truly an open beta as i tried for the last beta only to get this yesterday whitch was good I was using a hacked swype
they need to put the option of adding a period after hitting spacebar twice and add an icon for speech to text on the keyboard
You can get the period after swyping from "period" to "space"
speech to text would make swype perfection.

whats kinda weird is when i put in numbers ..
i hit the symbol button and the numbers are there but in a weird setting.
if i hit the shift button and then the symbol button twice.. then i get the regular phone pad which makes it easier ..

Try swyping from the "swype" button to the letter "F" (the number 5) on the keyboard to bring that up without having to do all that.

Yeaaah, appreciate it Techno.
Edit: After I install this everything works fine (installed fine, tap text) except when I actually try to 'swype'. The little blue box lights up around keyboard, and I get the blue line that follows my finger but nothing ever shows up on-screen. I have to put in each letter just like the normal keyboard.

Strange, I had this issue when I first tried installing the new Swype (it was cause by it claiming that the app was meant for a different device). After re-downloading it through the stock web browser the keyboard worked great. I guess make sure you have fully uninstalled Swype and then try installing the links above again, and if that doesn't work see what logcat results are when you try swyping.
Hi,
i read these thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202 and test the Keyboard... i like it but it is on the X10 very small...

You musst download the "gbkb-2.1.apk"
Then i move it on my sdcard an copy&paste to system/app/ check the permissions "gbkb-2.1.apk" must have the same permission like the other files in the folder.
Now reboot phone...
After reboot it works... but it´s very small

There is a solution and it works great. Thanks to "TOSHIBA":
Download lcd density free from market, it need root. Open it and set it just the same as default, which is 240 for our phone. Now push apply and reboot.....tadaaaaaaaa...perfect keyboard:
So a complete "How to" for the newbees:
Download from the link from the topicstarter the 2.1 keyboard, first post second download
Install it like a normal app.
Check the "Gingerbread Keyboard" box in settings "Keyboard and Language"
Open for instance SMS and when you are on the text input field long press on it.
Choose "Gingerbread Keyboard"
Download LCD Density from the market and set it at 240 (which is already our default one)
Tap "Apply and reboot"
After reboot check out your new big keyboard.
Cheers,
Arnold

you fixed the gingerbread keyboard and nobody even bothered to thank your post? unacceptable! with that note, let me be the first one to OFFICIALLY thank you for your help
Nice, excellent have returned back to this gingerboard key board now, thanks
kudos for finding out the fix
just tried it on my x10 and it works great but i realized that once you actually restart the phone-not restart from lcd density app, that all the keyboard becomes small again hence you run lcd density and redo the steps again
any ways to bypass this and have the gingerbread keyboard stay big permanently?
Very Nice

plsss help me out it didnt work on mine i downloaded the lcddensity changer from the market set it to 240 then rebooted my phone but still the keyboard is smalll nd i have not rooted my phone yet. plsss rply
You need a rooted phone to get this work. The application is called "Lcd sensity for root" which should have given you a slight hint...

hmm, there must be a way to keep this working when you reboot besides let LCD Sensity run over and over again. For me it's no problem, I hardly reboot the phone and the keyboard is worth waiting the extra 2 minutes .... Nevertheless, there must be some way... nice challenge
