HTC_IME for Nexus One [Pixelated Version]

http://drop.io/p12auxn#
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...

Swype for Android 1.5

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.

Does it have support for other languages beside English?

the only language setting i see is english, maybe there is a way to install more.

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.

Swiftkey alpha new keyboard for testing and tweaking

Cant seem to get this app to work on a 2.1 rom. part of an alpha tester group. Anyone want to give it a try

Working great for me on 2.1 Darch Legend V.5.
You need to install the .apk, then go into settings >> keyboard >> enable swiftkey
Next you need to go into swiftkey settings and download a language pack.
After all that, long press on a text entry box and select SwiftText.
So far it is pretty great at predicting what I am about to type in 2 letters or so. I love Swype..but I am willing to give this a try for awhile.

I have not had any problems using it on DamageRegaw ROM. I think I downloaded straight to phone from the email link I received and then just installed using ES file explorer.
I hope that helps. Word prediction on this keyboard is interesting.

Look in settings >> language and keyboard >> and then under the sub-heading "Text Settings" there is a selection box next to the name "Swift Key". This is the same menu that you get into the Swift Key settings at (the check box is not within the Swift Key settings).

Keyboard that tries to predict what you are going to type. I like it better than the stock keyboard, but I am much faster on Swype.

so it's an add on? and what's swype?

thats just it there is no box to enable it. nor is there one for the stock android one or the htc keyboard. they are all lined up but no enable. tried to reset after i installed and phone locked up so dont think it will work on dc v2 or maybe its just the damagetrev im running which is a faster version of dc v2

Eh, its better then stock, but once you try swype, its hard to type with anything else. If only swype had the voice thing like stock android, that would be awesome

OMFG!!! that looks awesome. so here's the question, if i want it how hard is it to try and then if i don't like it how hard to get rid of it?

I'm faster with Swype than a physical keyboard. I have installed it for two G1 owners recently after they got a hold of my phone.

No problems with darchlegendv5 I tested by just pushing space and if typed this " up to the business of Parity shall be liable for the use of the individual or entity to which it is a bit of a man they are trying to trace in connection with the word. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person." Exactly what I wanted to type. Crazy smart keyboard, but I think it's pretty nice thus far just a little slow.

this looks interesting too though...is it like normal but predicts?

[App] HTC_IME Mod v27 for EVO

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
All credit goes to jonasl from the Nexus One Forums
Original N1 Thread
Direct Download for the HTC_Ime for the EVO
Screenshots:

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?

there's an online themer by gimpsta..allows you to detail quite a bit, including a spacebar icon (you'll see ) By far the best keyboard ever!

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.

[Q] Keyboard Replacements?

Has anyone been able to get keyboard replacements to work?
I installed 'iphone keyboard' and 'slide IT keyboard Demo', and both show up in Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> but when you try to enable them, you get the warning about keystroke sniffing and if you click OK they still are not enabled.
I mostly want this for Voice input on all fields and something similar to Swype.
While I am at it, I would love it if, from Home Screen I could hit Menu, Settings, to get to the settings screen.
I do like the way the Settings screens work, layering what are separate activity screens next to each other on the tablet. Something Google should keep in mind for Honeycomb, it is a great way to make use of the extra real estate of the Tablet and should be an easy conditional for programmers, or even the OS to take into account depending on device type (user agent?)
I ramble, time for bed
Day 2 of my GTablet changed me from a returner to a keeper.
Thanks xda.

broke down and bought root explorer. writing with slideIt.
benefits over default keyboard:
swype style writing
voice button
return key in portrait mode
thanks again.

OK...

to be clear, the only way to replace the keyboard apk in TnT lite 2.2 is to use a pay app (root explorer)?

With slideit keyboard are the a an return buttons hard to press? I seem to have trouble with all the non stock keyboards

If you're comfortable with command line, you can do it w/o root explorer:
Root using z4root
Use a terminal to
Mount /system R/W
Copy the apk from /data/app to /system/app
Change apk perms
Reboot
There's an app in market called system r/w that can do the remount, and many terms under market.
