can anyone let me know if there is a way to add the stock htc keyboard and phone on this rom?
The keyb that came with the rom is extremely difficult to type with, and the phone app, in order to dial a number i have to go to phone, then contacts, then search ...
while on the stock phone app you just only type the first letters of the name of the person and dial...
thks
Smart keyboard and smart keyboard Pro are very comparable to the HTC keyboard. I however, recommend using Swype. As for the search I use the Google Search / search button on my phone to search for contacts. Then when selected it brings up their contact card and can call / SMS from there.
Do a search for HTC ime keyboard I haven't tried it on CM7 but I know it works on other non sense roms.

No no HTC software will work on CM based roms due to missing and replaced drivers and framework files

He means it will not work. Confusing grammar
One dialer is similar to the htc one in that it has predictive dialing or whatever it's called... It's lighter than the other alternatives i've tried too. As for keyboard, i keep coming back to swift keyboard x. Highly customizable and better layout than htc. I can't type more quickly on this than on anything else.

Do a search for HTC_IMEI Mod Keyboard in the Market. It is a version of the HTC keyboard from one of the Verizon HTC Droid phones. I've used it on both CM7 and Sense ROMs. Swype is a good one that seems similar to the HTC keyboard also.
I keep going back to Go keyboard. It's free and has some great features (arrows for navigation, keypad, etc).

Is it possible to force the software keyboard to stay on when I slide the hardware keyboard out?

It is stated in the general Android SDK documents somewhere that a long press on the menu button should activate the keyboard. Not only when you're editing text but also when you are for example in your app drawer (which comes in very handy, because typing a letter will bring you straight to all the apps starting with that letter)
Unfortunately, I've seen this behavior only on the Desire HD. Doesn't work on other devices I've tried. Maybe it does work on the NC though.

I changed my rom from the basic Desire HD sense to cyanogen mod 7 a few weeks back, and I like it for the most part. There's just a few things I miss. The biggest thing is the fact that I can't merge/link facebook, google twitter etc. contacts together. So I have 3 different contacts for the same person. Is there an app that could let me do this, without all of them needing to have the exact same name?
Also, I liked the sense keyboard alot more, is there an app for that too?
Thanks
Yes, long press on contact hit edit contact.. Then menu-join... There is one issue fixed... As for the keyboard... I recommend SwiftKey, it isn't free but in my opinion the best.. Or look around here for a swype apk... That would be free, or what ever... Just look around. And get the amazon app market, you'd be surprised what you get for free, and they do have discounts on stuff... But keyboards are more preference I guess, some people like to be able to swipe, some like bigger keys and customization like thumb keyboard, some like predictions and functionality like SwiftKey... Idk...

You can even use HTC Sense keyboard on ANY rom for any device:

So, I recently switched to the Revolution HD ROM, which is really awesome, but I'm having a weird issue with the Swype keyboard. It doesn't seem to work as often as it did under TMOUS stock: by that I mean it'll work for example when text messaging, but not for instance when doing an internet search, or entering passwords (I use the XKCD method of password choosing, using up to six common words for master passwords, rather than random hard-to-remember random individual keys; it's faster to enter, and just as secure so long as the password is long enough).
Frankly, even the TMOUS stock keyboard isn't enough; I'd much rather have the Swype feature to be always on, and only have to mess around with slow thumb-typing if I'm entering a name or unusual word. Is there any way to make Swype work everywhere, and not just on a limited subset of text boxes?
If you want the swype function always enabled, the best thing to do is ditch the HTC keyboard and get the official Swype keyboard.
Well I tried signing up for the Swype beta, but even after downloading and installing the keyboard I'm still left with the dysfunctional Sense one. Even after a reboot it's still not replacing the keyboard correctly.
something is not right here. i have swype and it worked on revolution as well as insertcoin's roms. list what steps you took to enable swype.
Well, I signed up for the Swype beta program. They sent me an email with the installer; I downloaded it and installed it. The installer gave me a new option in Settings->Language and Keyboard->Swype to enable the Swype keyboard, which I did (they gave you the big warning about Swype being able to potentially see your keystrokes/etc that you have to click through).
Then I tried it out. I hit the search button from the home screen--no Swype, just the same Sense keyboard. Went into text messaging, same thing. Even after a reboot, unchecking-checking the box, all the same.
Running Revolution HD 3.6.1
swype works fine for me as well.. I think you got something buggy up there. What I would do is basically use titanium backup and uninstall swype and get rid of it completely. Then use installer and get it back!
Not sure if this would work.. it'd clean it up a bit though!
You forgot to select input method. That's your problem

Oh for F-ing, F- F.... balls. Yeah, that's right, I forgot to change input method. Boy, do I feel stupid.
Okay, thanks!
wierd issue... i've flashed almost all the roms here( using ARHD 4.x.x) and never had such a problem! it should walk you through all the options to have it on before you even close the swype installer app.....
Yeah, for some reason it didn't the first time, but it did when I re-installed. Weird, huh?
I did some testing. The trace works fine on Tmob based roms even with text input predictions disabled. But AR HD, you must have predictions enabled for it to work. That's why I don't like it on AR HD. So Im forced to use Go Keyboard.
I recently entered the custom Rom arena and am loving my new found freedom.
I've currently got CyanogenMod 10.1 installed and everything is going pretty well.
Excuse my simple question if it's been answered here already (I did search hard first), but can anyone tell me:
Can I load some stock HOX apps like Mail, Car Mode and the stock touchscreen into custom roms?
I especially doubt the last one is an option but it is way ahead of the Cyanogen lockscreen in my opinion. Well it is in my case where my company policy forces the password lock via Exchange meaning in Cyanogen I can't choose an app from the lockscreen to open as the numpad replaces the app icons along the bottom. On stock HTC they are there and can be dragged into the "ring" to open them (admittedly the numpad appears before app opens but it's still faster to jump into an app than Cyanogen method).
Apart from that I really like the HTC mail app. It runs rings around K9 and the Cyanogen mail app so I would love to know if I can install some of the HTC stock apps and have the best of both worlds.
Thanks.

I am using a custom rom and I am glad because I hated all the bloatware in the stock rom but the one thing I miss is that "keyboard" app that when you are typing on the qwerty it generated a little bar of suggestions based on what you had typed. First question can you install that on a custom rom or is it like the circles widget and will only work with stock and if it will work can anyone point me to someplace I can download the apk?
Well I think SwiftKey has similar "suggestions" with what you are looking for...? I'm not sure if any will work with the physical keyboard tho.
I know there are other keyboards with predictive text features but the stock keyboard for the photon Q you dont have to have an onscreen qwerty keyboard on the screen to use it. When the phone is open it appears as just a small sliver at the bottom of the screen enhancing the physical qwerty.
Thank you very very much arrrghhh I decided to check out swiftkey despite you saying you did not think it had the specific feature I was asking for and it turns out it does. So for anyone else with a custom rom that misses the stock qwerty companion swiftkey does everything the stock app does and honestly for anyone using stock i highly suggest swiftkey as a replacement anyway.
