Why is it when i install a different keyboard it wont override the stupid HTC keyboard?
For example, i wantto install the droid x keyboard, but when i go to activate it in the keyboard settings, it leaves the HTC keyboard as the main keyboard. Is there something im missing?
Long press in a text box and then release and press input method to change keyboards.

It force closes, any suggestions?
Sorry if im in wrong section
Try reinstalling if you get a force close. Go into Settings>Language and Keyboard and check your settings for the custom keyboard.

Check this out! HTC's own version of Swype?!
Would be cool if the older devices get this update! Won't require dual core for it, if thats htc's pathetic excuse again!
maybe？
oh it's crazy i think 。。for me。it never minds

As someone thats very recently learned to love the free (beta) swype application, I'm hoping that the htc v3.0 htc trace application gets ported to our device and soon

I wonder if this will be better than Swype and SwiftKey.
i donot need it ，but thank you for sharing all the same
Hello, I've searched for swype and HTC Trace in the market, but I didn't find none of them. What is the exact name of the application to install, to have the swype active?

From memory when I installed swype you have to get it through your browser on your phone and download it from their site,though I'm sure someone will correct me if my memory is failing.

You are correct! Download the beta for Swype from here...
http://beta.swype.com/android/get/
You need to sign up to an account first though.

Thanks, but, is this something that overrides the default keyboard adding the swype function or is it a new one?
No it won't override, merely give you an alternate keyboard option. Its not obvious how to turn it on though so once installed, do the following;
In settings, go to 'languages & keyboard' and put a tick in the 'Swype' box.
Then in any text entry box, do a long press, and select 'Input Method' and choose Swype.
Nice Swype tip: It has a nice (hidden) cursor keyboard. Access it by Swyping from the bottom-left menu button, to the button to the right of it.

Some nice themed Swype keyboards here (although the cursor board is missing some keys)

Is there some keyboard that looks like the default one? (I mean the original one)
I've seen that these keyboards need to be flashed. Is there a way to come back to the stock one just in case I don't like the new one? I've seen there is some keyboard zip file here on xda, but I'm not sure of what is the stock one.
EDIT: for instance, I've found this thread. There is a so called "HTC_Keyboard_Without_Arrows"; I guess it is the stock one. Isn't it?

There's no point in getting stuff off filesharing sites when there's at least a couple free ones in the market already
The free gingerbread keyboard in the market works fine for me. After using the Nexus S since day one, it's hard to go back to a non multitouch keyboard.
How do you guys activate alternative keyboards? Mine is always popping up the default HTC kb no matter what I have enabled @ settings.
I've tried Swype, Better Keyboard and the one mentioned in this thread and none of those will activate. Already tried to reboot without luck
My chosen keyboard stays selected @ settings though even after reboot.
Thanks in advance.

open your browser or create an email or just open twitter. When you see the input box and when the kb pops up. LONG PRESS the input box. Another box should pop up with a mini menu where you would choose "input method". If you have selected keyboards to alternate from in your settings then you should see a selection of installed keyboards. GL

You do NOT have an extra keyboard called "Trace Keyboard" or whatever by long pressing. After enabling it, just slide as if you were using swype with the regular HTC keyboard.

I know what Trace is.....
After enabling it just doesn't work
Settings - keyboard and languages - touch input - trace keyboard - enable.
Then long press any text entry screen and choose "Input Method" then "Touch Input". Works fine for me.

EDIT : Okay turned out you have to enable the prediction feature for trace to work, without prediction it just ignores your trace inputs.

Sorry for the double post, but it keeps not working.
any suggestions?
not sure mate.. try disabling and renabling it?
i had no issues getting mine working and i find it quite handy. i tap away most of the time, but in landscape mode its good for bigger words. i dont tend to use it in portrait mode much.
Hi
Just wondering if Trace can be added/flashed separately if its not included in the Rom?

Don't know how helpful it is, but from what I can tell, the smiley button is dependent on how the application calls Swype (or whatever input you have selected).
I have two SMS apps, one of which defaults to single-line entry, the other is the stock one.
The stock app has the enter key, the app with single line entry has the smiley button. I haven't been able to figure out how to force one mode or the other...

With latest version of beta Swype and go SMS pro, smiley button is available. Dunno if it's working with stock apps etc..

If ur app has a single entry line..u will get the smileys for me it's stock.
But I use go SMS pro it doesn't have a single entry line and so Swype has an return key in place smiley...but I don't know how to change it..someone above said the said the versa, but this is how it works.

Hey just curious on how to change my keyboard while in any app that uses the keyboard to input text. I tried to press and hold an empty space on the screen and the input method never pops up like on all other Android versions.

Nevermind I figured it out. When you are typing there is a keyboard notification at the top and you just have to click it to change keyboard

Thanks! I was caught off guard too.
Long pressing the space bar also does the job. I miss gb where all you do is swipe the spare bar to change languages
Any way to do this automatically "per-application"?
When I'm in terminal emulator I want to use hackers keyboard, but I'm fine with standard in other places (like writting sms).
I feel retarded

I would love to be able to do that. I use chrome as my browser and it does not play nice with swype. When deleting text it skips to the middle of words and sometimes when typing a word it will use the suggestion automatically before I'm even done typing the word.
