I've been following dexters froyo and recently took the leap and installed v1.3 of his ROM and am very very grateful TO him FoR helping us out with such great features and performance Of Android 2.2.1.
But my qualm is that THE default dictionary (in v 1.3) has some peculiar problems Of capitalizing some unwanted letters and wOrDs As you VSN (can) notice in this post.
This is proving TO BE a great nuisance FoR effectively utilizing my XT 720 productively.
MY PLEA:
Dear Dexter,
Please provide ys (us) with a clean and usable dictionary which would make this a great ROM.
Sincerely,
Your Fan.
You sure these words arent in your custom dictionary? There is no dictionary file at all with the included multitouch keyboard.

Yes. This is with a clean install Of Dexter's Froyo upgrading from stock 2.1 update 1 from Motorola.
And in THE language options in settings, I've tried both UK and YS (US) language options. Also removed all THE user defined wOrDs from within that menu.
Just try typing THE following wOrDs and let NE (me) know.

I get weird spelling suggestions too but it's the auto-correct that drives me up the wall. It seems to always want to put names in. Like "any" gets auto replaced with "Amy" etc. Really annoying but I don't know what to do about it.
Why not just use a 3rd party keyboard? I prefer SwiftKey.

Am using the Android 2.3 keyboard by Steven Lin available on the market. Looks good and is a pleasure to use
I've used like everything from the latest beta of swiftkey to swype to 8pen to gingerbread keyboard, but the multitouch keyboard has the best feeling and spacing to it imo - and I make the least mistakes with it. Wish dictionary would work.

Hello,
I am looking for a replacement of the build in sw keyboard for my HD2. I liked the idea of sliding over the keyboards.
I found different sliding keyboards - the funny thing is that every company writes something about "patents" and unique
I tried already SlideIT and ShapeWriter, because both are available for testing. But it seems that swype is not available. I suppose it should just be bundled with pdas (e.g. omnia 2)
Now my questions:
- Are there other solutions available?
- How are the chances to have Swype on the HD2?
- I have stability problems with SlideIT on my HD2
(e.g. the screen area for SlideIT are not correctly drawn, and keeps
destroyd...)
Is there someone running SlideIT on the HD2 without problems?
Any other notes are welcome...
Best regards,
stefan

"I have stumbled on a problem, whilst trying to use my phone horazontaly in Opera or tryng to text message the SlideIT keyboard does not function correctly do you have a fix inplace for this?
At the moment this is the only thing stopping me making a purchase.
Many Thanks "

I cant wait I really do like this Keyboard
Scuzzy
You can try a ported version of SWYPE
It is ported from Verizon's Omnia II (same resolution as HD2)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ungnttnzmwa/Swype.cab
Working!!! Rom WWE 1.43
On NON-WWE ROMs you have to move the swype folder from your locale program files folder to /Program Files/

SlideIT
I purchased the slide it keyboard. I fell in love with it from the start. It is working without problems on my HD2. I have noticed the same problem, mentioned earlier, about the landscape typing. It works, but it doesnt look right.
It has increased my text speed at least 50%! It doesn't play well with entering usernames and passwords, however. I find myself changing back to touch input for this.
is there any way to get GERMAN DICTIONARY for swype? because i've only spanisch and english
Swype is pretty interesting... I find myself giggling inside a little every time I *swype* a long word.
Yeah, Swype is pretty good from initial impressions. I've tried slide-it, shapewriter and I find swype's keyboard to be laid out the best (in terms of straight typing and not swiping).
Amazing
I tried SlideIT. It's ok, but I don't like the design and it does not support landscape. That's a deal breaker.
Swipe is my favorite: good design, fast. Unfortunately it's only in Spanish and English....
I am not satisfied with ShapeWriter. It did not recognise most of the words and is only avalaible in Qwerty.
I have WWE 1.43
Why doesn't it work for me?
Its installed in root/Program Files/
I can go to settings > personal > input and its there, but whenever i choose it, it automatically goes back to the default htc keyboard.
You can modify the input with SK Tools or a cab named SIPChange.
Installed th .CAB file that already puts the program in root\program files, but it does not work om my HD2. The only thing I see after enabling Swype, is a black square that fills up the left half of the screen. I'm using Dutch ROM 1.43. Any ideas/suggestions how to get it to work?
regards, Kuzibri
OK, after downloading the .CAB file from different sources, I got it working. First impression: Not much difference with SlideIT, but can be judged only when there is a Dutch dict for Swype. Anyone?
Now I have this error message with SlideIT:
(3)missing lang data!!!
What can I do? Impossible to uninstall/install the cab.
I have been using Swype keyboard for some time and absolutely love it, but have been annoyed about it not having special letters such as used in Scandinavia.
Then Yesterday I fell over a similar keyboard called SlideIt and that works same way as Swype, it just have support for all European languages plus Arabic and Hebrew, plus you can make abbreviations and as a benefit to all those that don't use WM you can also get it for Android and Symbian.
Price is a reasonable 7.99 USD
You read about here: http://www.mobiletextinput.com/
U are scandiavian? Does the keyboard support ÆØÅ?
Yes, I'm Danish.
Yes, as I wrote then it supports all European languages, you download a language pack of your choice, mine was of course Danish and you can just download the Norwegian language pack and in options you choose the language you want as Primary and which one you want as secondary and voila you have all the special characters for Norway.
The only issue is when you have used Swype for some time is that the buttons are a little smaller, but that only takes a day to get used to.
ok, and it works when u flip the phone to the side?
Have to check out the videos on youtube before i decide...
But if anyone else have used this, i would like to know about the feedback..
Brilliant, abselutly brilliant....

SlideIT is the no.1 keyboard for my/the HD2. Far superior over Swype IMHO.

Im Norwegian and have been using SwipeIT since the start. Works fine, but the only issue i have is that it does not work in landscape mode. The keyboard turns all white and the letters are not visible.

It is really a great keyboard! One issue I have is that it does not detect text selection in HTC Messaging application. I don't think the problem is with SlideIT since it works fine on another text application like Pocket Notepad, and also Swype does not detect selected text also... So probably a problem with HTC Messaging app text selection method...
Anyway it is a great input method and works very good!

Double tap selection never works in HTC Messaging. Long press/hold on the word brings up the editing menu. It's stupid, in my view.

Hi all!
Have just installed SlideIT and i think if i give it some time i will use it before the HD2 original one. But, is there some better looking skins for it? Or at least one with slightly bigger buttons?
Have googled it but i can't find anything that points me in any way that says that someone is making or are going make skins for it.
Can it be done?
In PDF User Manual, I read this:
"The user has the option to introduce a large number of new words into the dictionary rapidly or to even use a customized dictionary. To do this, create a file containing the new words on a PC and then move the file to the device. The user must open the file and select all of its content. Next, tap on the indicator ‘+’. The bulk update is then performed. Note that the maximum length of the selected text is 1000 characters."
But which kind of file I've to create, where I've to put it, and how can I access to it from the keyboard ?

Why is it so much better than swype? I have 0 issues most of the time with swype unless im trying to do a lot of mixed numbers/letters...
Now after almost a year that I have SlideIT and Swype on my Galaxy,
I decided to give up Swype since I almost never use it anymore.
I found that SlideIT has so many more feature comparing to swype, and all the time it's being update.
Its dictionary is better, it’s word prediction is better and it’s way of choosing alternate words is better. Instead of forcing you to choose from a popup menu, it makes its best guess then gives you an unobtrusive menu of alternate words to choose from in case it got it wrong.
I just want to hear what do you think ?
please answer only if you tried them both for a while
SlideIT site
Swype site
also forgot to mention ShapeWriter which is the third keyboard using this sliding input method, and two months ago was removed from the Market.
from my experience, I found it to be very inaccurate and not at the same level as SlideIT and Swype.
ShapeWriter site
SlideIT of course...
Because it has Multilingual support
swype (at least the version i have *cough*) does multilanguage too

Swype is looking better, and working better. When they launch with fully support, you should count on that it gets updates all the time to.
Has everyone forgotten about ShapeWriter? Its off the market now, but I think its way better than both ...

Swype doesn't force you to use the popup menu. YOu can just continue typing and it will select the top word in the pop up menu.
Haven't used SlideIT, I'm kind of put off at the ~$10 price, when swipe was included in my phone.
never cared got shapewriter, too slow and not as accurate. Slideit is s the most accurate and better than swype I think, but the lack of long press for numbers and punctuation kills it. If it had that, I would ditch swype in a sec.

In the app list, it's boring to use swype to search the good app with only the "first" letters.

Not necessarily.
With Swype if the word is not in the dictionary all you need to do is tap it out and the next time you swype those same letters the word is automatically formed for you.
I have several email addresses done this way and no need to change from lower to upper as Swype will do it for you.
Lemme see .... $5.99 or free? ... free or $5.99?

What if you tap this word by mistake, will Swype still learn this new word ?
With SlideIT you must press + to add the word to the dictionary. and if the dictionary offer you a word that you never use you can just press - to remove this word from the dictionary.

Hey guys,
When setting up Gingerbread Keyboard, it allows to choose more input languages (Settings / Locale and Text / Gingerbread Keyboard / Input Languages). However, when actually typing, switching to the other language still uses English for entry (I'm switching with the slider on the spacebar).
Is there any way to fix that?
many thanks!
I don't use any stock keyboard.
There is one European keyboard in romkitchen.org - but it doesn't work in nonI9000=based ROMs.
So get MultiLing keyboard free from Market.
Well, I'd rather swype with a different language, but lang options on swype seem even more limited... if there was an option to extend it, I'd just stock to that.
thanks for the tip!

read the manual. You have to write those letters once. To write the word "little" you have to slide as following l-i-t-l-e. The included dictionary will correct it

I did read it and yes that's how I typed it but unless I do words like it very slow it don't pick it up well. Shame cos apart from that the the keyboard is fast. Sorry is one word I played with and had to do it 5 times slowly to get the dictionary to pick it up.
Any chance of adding the "Microphone" feature of your android version to this WM version?
(I know the voice-to-text feature uses a google api/service that they probably wont allow in WM, but it was worth a shot asking anyway
