I would be grateful for that application as well. This new keyboard is not bad, but its not as as good as the old one on which I'm used to. So please, if some of you have it, upload it for us.
Thanks

and you think the fact that there are two buttons that allow you to go back and forth is a small thing to be despised since X10 don`t have any trackball??!!

If you only use the arrow buttons to move the cursor there is now a better way. Just tap the text, it will then appear on the "suggestion's bar". Now slide the bar left or right to move the cursor.

Isn't it the Android keyboard? Just long press your text box to get into input method and switch to Android keyboard. Looks the same to me!

keyboard for our tiny screen

I have tried a ton of keyboards and I just can't seem to find anything that is useful with our skinny little screen. I dislike the non-configurationablism of the stock keyboard.
Anyone have a preference? I'm not big on sliding keyboards. I have slideit full version, but dislike it as well. I dislike prediction and prefer double-touch enabled keyboards.
Any recommendations?
Tried:
Stock (heh)
Go Keyboard
Swiftkey X (Phone)
Thumb Keyboard
slideit
better keyboard 8
probably others I'm not remembering

Have you tried thumb keyboard? You can adjust pretty much anything including keyboard dimensions and layout.
I use it on both my xoom and sensation. Its great!

yeah I bought it and use it on my tablet. I will give it a shot right now.

Yeah.. I stopped using that one because it is not multi-touch. The creator of that app told me he will be releasing a multi-touch version later.
I type too fast for a single touch display. often one finger will not fully lift before another drops down and it causes me to miss very often.
Better keyboard is great in that respect, but is lacking the features of thumb keyboard.
Just tried go keyboard for the first time. It's pretty good but it's multitouch works differently than better keyboard 8. If you press F and then press U before F is released on BK8, it puts the U in on keydown but if you do the same with GO it puts the U in when the F lifts.

My top favorites are SwiftKey and A.I. Keyboard..they work great for me!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

bought swiftkey X (phone). Not sure I will like it, but I'm going to play with it some more later to see if I can tweak it out. Looks very nice for prediction junkies though. pretty nice.
I'm going to see if I can get into prediction typing.

May I recommend GO Keyborad??
To me its just the perfect size and have the keyboard theme set to white which compliments alot of pages I visit and the pressed color to it is also nice....... Lime in color!!
Also I would suggest editing your OP with a listing so at least folks know what you have used ;-) food for thought

Yeah listing would have been a good idea. I just couldn't remember off the top of my head and didn't have my phone handy.
I tried GO. it's decent. I want better! '
I think I'm just going to be hosed because the width of the keys are too small for my fat fingers when used with this small screen in portrait.
Maybe I will just be stuck in landscape and double thumbing.

Best keyboard imo is swype. You can't get it on the market for now but you can register on beta.swype.com it works like a charme! You may need 2-3 days but then you will be definitely faster than typing.

I'm the developer of Thumb Keyboard. I stumbled upon this thread because I have a Sensation myself (love it btw).
Thumb Keyboard 4.x is already multi-touch.
If there are any suggestions to improve the keyboard let me know. I already built in an option to resize the font, because the high resolution of the qHD display will reduce the size of the font (which is great in the case of some other apps btw). Any other suggestions/requests for the sensation display are very welcome.
Btw an update will be released this weekend or begin next week with, amongst others, a split keyboard with cursor keys. Works great on the Sensation. But that's my very biased opinion. Also it will be packed with a ton of downloadable high Res themes.

try smart keyboard...its amazing and full of options to costumize...im using this keyboard since my first android phone

You can always give 8pen a go. Who knows? Maybe you'll be the one that fully masters it. I'm also waiting on the beta of Touchpal Curve Input to be released. You can find a few videos of it on YouTube.

+1 for smart keyboard, has arrow keys configurable to be on the main screen, key size customization and a bunch more. I regret it does not have copy paste commands, afaik.

Ultra Keyboard if you haven't already tried it.

FlexT9? I think is double touch. It's basically a combo of swype and dictation. Also you can actually write your letters out a la Sony Clie days lol. Pretty much a jack of all trades but does not do one particularly well, but gets the job done. The Dragon software is pretty spot on for me.

Gingerbread keyboard from the market. U can adjust size.

Iphone Lock Screen

Hey I was wondering whats the best way to replicate the iphone lock screen? Is it cm7 theme chooser?

You could try widgetlocker. It has the iPhone lock screen.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

There is an app somewhere that replicates the iphone lock screen. Used to use it on my old phone. So don't have the apk. Search a bit and you'll find it

I have, I am currently using widget locker, I've seen another app but apparently it won't scale. Correctly on the sensation, i didn't try it but saw. A. Comment from an. Evo. I'm guessing there's no. Cm7 themes?

Looking at the description, I don't think this will work... will know in 5 seconds......
And it............ did....... not work. Thanks for trying though.

lol dang, sorry man, no other ideas

Thanks anyway, I just wish we had a simple lock screen like iphone.

Try magiclocker from the market its free

There is an Miui theme with that Lockscreen. And yes it scales correctly. I used it for some time. Other than that I'm out of ideas lol

Magiclocker also has a sweet Samsung puzzle lock theme as well

What's wrong with you banana? I got an android device. For the a ability to customize it. I'm allowed to do what i want with it. If you're immature enough to not have the ability to resist pointless posts that have nothing to do. With the thread, you should be banned.
And I don't really like miui. The interface isn't functional to me. I like cm7. Just want a iphone lock screen. I'll try magic locker.

What about "Lock 2.0"? Haven't used it in forever (coincidentally, it was the first app I ever bought for Android - lol), but it was specifically made to have the iPhone style locking, as well as give it some personal flare.

Yea that's the one he's using. The screen is compressed and the slider bar is really long and skinny. I've tried it without any luck. I now use "no lock" and just hit any button and am on my main screen, I never really saw the use of pressing a button just to do another task..

I do this, except I use a passcode. I just wish android/cm7 will release a lockscreen I like. Rotary did it for me for a while, but it become almost too complicated for me. I didn't like that if I used it to change the sound, i have to wait for the thing to finish rotating. I just want something I slide and it unlocks, but the default sliding tabs in my opinion are ugly. I liked sense's lockscreen, but the cm7 replication doesn't do it for me. looks too... circular

Widget Locker is what you're looking for

Favorite HOX features.

This is a thread to list some cool things you like about the phone. Maybe point out a few things that other people didn't know yet.
For me I would have to say that the keyboard is awesome. Also the fact that it already has a printer option built in. Voice recognition on this phone is awesome. And of course face recognition is great too.

I've been a Swype user since the Nexus One, but I have to say that the Trace feature on the HTC keyboard is impressive. It's noticeably quicker to render words after swyping/tracing. Only downside I've noticed is you can't place the cursor on previous words and choose alternate suggestions. Unless I'm missing an option for this.

Ha. And I though it was an improved swype this whole time
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Interesting comment about the keyboard. I'll be receiving my HOX today but most reviews say the HTC keyboard is ****. Seeing the entire row of arrows on the bottom leads me to agree (but then again, I haven't used it yet). How does it compare to the stock ICS keyboard? I don't like Swype so I'm sure I won't ever use that feature.

About that. I tried using the face detect to lock my screen and at first i thought to myself, man does this work well.
Then for fun I had my dad look at the camera and guess what, the phone unlocked itself for him too. Now I know we look somewhat alike, but not that close.
Long story short, I wouldn't trust that feature..

My favorite feature is definitely the screen! I can't keep my eyes off of it. I do not like the HTC Sense keyboard and for those of you that also do not like it you can go to the Play Store and download the stock ICS keyboard and it works great on the One X. It is much more similar to the iPhone keyboard that I am used to and is spaced further apart than stock sense keyboard. Also, you get more screen room for viewing while texting or writing messages if you use the stock ICS keyboard.

It works for pictures of you as well... It can't distinguish depth.

Well they're working on a modified face unlock that requires you to blink so picture would be useless.

The apps button on the lower right is the coolest so far for me. Swipe up to close apps and you can open any recent apps...
It takes the only good feature of the Blackburry playbook and adds it to Android. Sorry if this is old for HTC... first one for me.

From what I can tell, by swiping the recent application does not close the application. I have opened several apps and then hit the home button then the recent applications button and swiped them... then opened up the apps again and they are right back where I left them. I think it only deletes the recent app bookmark and not closes the app itself.

Turning of backlight on buttons.

Hi everyone. Could someone point me to where I can disable the backlight on the capacitive buttons? Find it annoying they stay on while watching video in a dark setting. Thanks
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I'd like to know, too. Very distracting when watching Netflix in a dark room.

That will most likely be something fixed in a ROM...there is not a way I know of to disable with stock ROM..be a while since bootloader is still locked as of today..checked htcdev.com today...bummer..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Don't get me wrong--I am thrilled with this phone. But I find it completely shocking that nobody at HTC ever tried to watch a video on it and said, "hey, these three bright lights are really freaking annoying!"

I actually have the opposite problem. Half the time my backlight does not work. It will work awhile after reboot but then will stop again. Not sure how to fix it.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I've used the app adjbrightness in the past. I haven't tested yet because it requires root and haven't rooted yet. hope this helps.

I would also like a solution for this.
Lots of little quirks with the software where you'd think HTC would have noticed it. This is a big one in my opinion.
How in the world could you forget to time out the lights when a video is being played. Or give a setting for it.
How could you leave out the stock keyboard and ONLY provide your crappy bloated Sense keyboard? atleast have it installed, so users can have the option.
In the browser, wheres the tab button? why have the user hop through menus and different windows when Tabs are the FUTURE! and stock on ICS.
HTC RUINED! the browser.
Excellent hardware, brought down by senseless sense designers.
Sense UI makes absolutely no sense.
