The reason I've been slower at posting requests lately is about to come clear!
I have created an "online kitchen" of sorts for creating custom skinned, signed, HTC_IME high and low res apk files. This means you guys can very easily create your own skins and customize the ones I've created!
What is this?
A website you can visit on your computer or directly from your phone that will let you a> create a custom skinned keyboard based off of any of the images currently in the library (various colored keys, backgrounds, etc) with whatever text color you want and b> customize existing "skins" (will be known as "presets") however your heats desire.
Currently, it should be considered very beta. All the features that are here should be working 100%.
Why beta, that sounds scary?
It's beta for a couple of reasons, 1 because it's currently UGLY as sin (concentrated on features and back end first) and 2 because I'm actively working on it which means it could break at any time.
What is the point of this?
Besides the fact that you can now customize the hell out of the way your keyboard looks, it drastically reduces the amount of work I have to do in the future. Currently, i'm uploading 46 pre-themed apk files for every single update. While this isn't really a big deal since I automated the process, it slows down how quickly I can put up updates. With this new method, all I have to do is upload the original unthemed keyboard apk and classes.dex for each new version and my work is done!
Everything else:
If you select a preset, you will still be asked to choose each portion of the keyboard (background, buttons, text color etc). The image with the yellow border around it (you'll see what I mean) is the default "piece" for the preset.
One last thing, depending on server load it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to generate the keyboard. Most of the time I suspect it will be < 1 minute tho.
I don't mind if you use this to generate a keyboard and include it with something (theme/morph) or post it somewhere, just give due credit
URL for HIGH RES online kitchen: now offline, sorry
URL for LOW RES online kitchen: now offline, sorry
Current feature list / changelog:
Start from a "preset" (any of my current themes) and change any component of it.
Choose any of my current backgrounds
Choose any of my current primary/function key styles
Choose any of my current "symbol sets"
Choose any of my current space bar logo/images
Upload your own spacebar logo
Choose any color text for letters and alternate characters
Built in bug reporting/feature requests (for new image sets, for example)
Choose any color for background image
Preview keyboard before generating it
Option to see/reuse all skins you have generated
Option to see/reuse last 25 skins anyone has generated
Choose any color for symbol sets
Added lowres kitchen
Added option to choose between 1.5 only and 1.6+ low res versions in low res kitchen.
Added v25 froyo version.
Added all v26 versions to kitchen!
Added all v27 versions to kitchen!
Added v27-froyo lowres version to kitchen!
New option: Create your own primary/function keys is FINALLY here!
Pre-themed/Pre-built skinned keyboards.
Custom skins for Jonasl's HTC_IME high res.
These are signed with the exact same certificate that jonasl uses so if you can install his, you can install these and go back and forth with no problem.
These are no longer flashable update.zip files, all you need to do is download the zip file, extract the HTC_IME_hi.apk to your sd card and install with a file manager (linda, or something that supports reinstalling for future installs).
Special note, if you have not already installed v22 or higher, I highly suggest you read Jonasl's thread here for important information regarding this keyboard. You will need to re-enable and completely reconfigure this keyboard after installing (only if you haven't already done v22+).
One last note, there is a new hi res Clicker.apk available too. I have not included it in these downloads, you will need to get that from the official HTC_IME Mod download if you haven't already! Update: or get it here -> Clicker_hi.zip
v24 links removed because v25 is now available in the kitchen, screenshots represent some of the many themes you can create there!
Thankyou so much all working perfectly !
Oh thanks for this, I definetly don't like Metamorph - so this was a life saver. Well not really a life saver, more like a life enhancer lol..
Great job thanks .
I know this is an htc forum but is there any way you can throw an update.zip of v18 for us droid users? The candidate bar is broken on v19 for droid but it worked on 18... if you can do it would you make it the black with white text theme? This would be much appreciated! Keep up the great work!

Sure thing, I don't want to maintain to many old versions going forward, but this one is the most frequently downloaded one, and it sounds like Jonasl isn't going to get us a new version real soon (i could be mistaken tho).
I'll try to get it posted here in the next 30 mins or so.

Actually im a fool... with the candidate bar on v19 you can long press and dragit to the correct position so don't bother. I read This aafter I posted and gave it a try and voila. Seems like a lot of Droid users didn't read the entire OP like me. Thanks for the quick response. Hope I caught you before you wasted any time!

Hahah I almost suggested you try that, but wasn't sure if this was different bug.
Glad you got it sorted, no time wasted here!
I'm still having problems with installing the themes...I tried all 3 methods you posted, everything installed with no problems or errors...however, when I go to a text screen (sms, for example) I click on the input area and the keyboard just doesn't pop up at all, nothing. Any explanation for this? I don't understand why I can't get this to install properly. I'm convinced it has to do with my rom, jrummy's desire remix on koush's cyanogenmod

It must. Have you been able to install the un-themed keyboard from Jonasl? If that is the case, I have absolutely no idea why these wouldn't work. They are identical to the APKs he produces just with my theme changes.
These themed versions work like a charm on stock N1.
I extracted the APK, installed with ASTRO. Just to be safe, I uninstalled previous version.

Glad to hear!! I assumed they would, but had no way to test it (short of nanding and flashing back to an unrooted stock rom of course).
Thanks for letting me know!
just tried the htc ime apk on wifes stock n1 and no joy also tried installing the clicker apk too and still nothing !

Which install method did you try????
For stock I would recommend option 3 with astro file manager or similar.
I used option 3 with astro go to choose input method and it only gives me android keyboard option ? rebooted phone too just to make sure .
Thanks bro for the update.zip. I had almost given up on flashing the penguins skin as I could not get MM to do it no matter what I tried. Anyway this method worked. Have the keyboard themed with penguins.
quick question: if I install a new ROM and wipe data prior to that will I have to apply this again? If so can I do this directly without installing the orginal HTC keyboard? Thanks again.

I *think* either on stock firmware and/or first time you run it you have to actually enable it first. Try going to settings, language and keyboard, and see if you have touch input that you can either check mark to enable or go into for settings, then try to set it as your input type.

Yes you will have to apply it again, and yes you can go straight to my pre-themed keyboards (by flashing, pushing, installing, however you want!).
that did it thanks very much
Works great! Thank you.
Hello, I have compiled an APK out of the metamorph theme for Swype made by sh0ebox. It is running the latest verison of swype (the June 8th one), and emulates the HTC_IME design.
As of right now I do not have an android phone of my own, so this has not been tested, please try it out and give feedback/screenshots if possible.
Thanks!
Installed, will get you screen shots soon.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/20/download-htc_ime-theme-for-swype/
I'm not sure, but this says you need root for it... and all it does is FC (even after clean install + reboot).
That is where I got the metamorph files. Which do require root. Compiling it into an apk stops this need. I know it was done for the Eris, but obviously we need higher res. Sadly I can't truly figure out the issue as I don't have a DI of my own (or an android phone at that, ****ing env touch).
wouldnt install with my old version of swype installed, so i uninstalled it, then this one did install. i switched input type to this keyboard and it wont bring up the keyboard, just force closes. rebooted phone, same thing. i like shapewriter better anyways, but i still like trying out the different swype keyboards.
edit- i have an incredible
i ben looking for this, i hope you can fix the FC issue
I'd gladly love to fix it, but I can't do so until I get my incredible, so be patient all
Update may 23: The beta is now closed. Thank you all for your participation and feedback. Please keep your suggestions coming. Suggestions and requests are welcome in the Thumb Keyboard thread in the paid-for app forum here on xda (link will follow)
--------------------------------
New beta 4:
Customizable toolbar. The toolbar can be switch on or off with a simple toggle. For phones as well as for tablet (Gingerbread and Honeycomb have more functions to assign to the toolbar keys)
New small keyboard for one handed operation on a 10" tablet. It also contains a "blind spot" which you can use to hold your tablet.
------
Thrilled to announce a brand new version of Thumb Keyboard.
It's a total rebuild from scratch of the current market version, therefore I decided to launch it first as a public beta.
Besides a whole new core that is optimized for Gingerbread and Honeycomb, the new version (v. 4.0) introduces a whole lot of new features:
multi-touch
Correct previous written words with suggestions
Shortcuts - store and edit much written phrases, mail signatures, logins and insert them with a simple tap
New addition to the prediction algorithm: predict a word based on a previous word
New: resize the width of the letter keys on the split layouts. With the option to adjust the height, one can now adjust the keyboard completely to ones own hands and device!!
Alternative suggestions for voice input. Just tap on the recognized word to see the alternatives
Redesign of the keyboard based on multi-touch chording. Entering numbers and operating the cursor keys was never more easy!
New style popup keyboards. Fling, slide and wipe and back to typing again ..
New design of the keyboard layout. Easier access of much used keys
Better esthetic integration with Honeycomb by the use of Honeycomb style windows
and more (and still more to come
The beta can be downloaded from thumb4beta.blogspot.com
(Because the beta was already out for some weeks for 10.1" tablets, some may wonder why this separate announcement. The reason is that the current version will support all screen sizes and layouts, just like the current market version. This means a lot more devices to be supported and a lot more test cases)
Looking forward to your feedback, suggestions, comments, bug reports (hope none ) etc.
-----
Update (May 3):
Version 4 beta 3.2: added Custom portrait/landscape layout combination * Smiley popup keyboards now on all layouts * new theme "digital red" * custom keyclick sounds * better dictionaries * 12 extra shorcut or quicktext slots * Return key in instant messaging apps * option to exclude contact database from predictions * some bug fixes
Awesome! Big fan of your work. We've talked via email about the keyboard. I still use it. Downloading now.

Thought I've send you mail too. Let me know what you think about it.
Personally I think this is a BIG improvement over the version over the version on the Market. One of the things I liked about the stock GB keyboard was you could tap previously entered words and change what was entered. Love seeing that in here.
The only thing I don't see is being able to set different layouts for portrait and landscape. Being a phone user, I like that the hide keyboard button is hidden.
Big speed improvements as well. Great job!
Thanks going to give this a try!

Thanks! The ability to set different layouts for landscape and portrait mode will certainly come back. It's one of the core functioneren of this keyboard. I left it out just to have something to do while the beta is tested
If you are on Gingerbread or Honeycomb you should try out the bigram predictions (only English supported right now). It will predict in many cases the next word with the previous word and just one letter. For example if you type "of" and then the letter t you get a bunch of relevant words starting with a t and that makes sense as the next word after "of". Great feature for phones. (It will also learn from word pairs that are entered a lot)

Awesome on both accounts! I use a Gingerbread ROM on my phone and have the bigram thing enabled. Liking this a lot.
Nice, I'm loving it so far, I've been waiting for something that actually *KNOWS* what you want type next and learns other than swiftkey. The only thing I ask you, is please give us the option to enlarge the spacebar by removing the smile faces, comma, and or period key.
Thank you, and how else besides the blog and this thread can I keep up with the latest beta releases?

Will look into that.
The beta releases are all published on http://thumb4beta.blogspot.com
You can subscribe to that blog to get a notification when a change is made.
I've had a lot of downloads and yet no single bug report. I like to think that the keyboard is completely bug free, but that would be wishful thinking in the context of this giant project.
Any bugs? Please report them here or on the beta site.
I have found what I like to think is a bug.
Say I want to enter todays date. I long press the q for the number 1, the I select the "/" from the upper row and then I long press the t for the number 5. So far so good.
Now I want to enter a different date, like 29/5. I long press to get a 2, the I long press to get a 9. Now the upper bar is empty, and I can't select the "/" there
Another bug: I can't long press the p key to get a 0. All the other keys work.
And a little warning to Desire/Nexus One owners, if you long press the ?123 button while selecting a button on the lower row on the keyboard ( ! " ' : ; / ?), it will probably not work that well. It has to to do with the multitouch on those devices.It has to to with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhBRMaUn6Ig
If you want I can make a video showing all of these problems.
what about Portuguese - PT? Any plans on implement it?
very nice thank you nice sharing

I'm able to hold P to get 0. Using the standard layout.
After fiddling around with the different keyboards I got it to work too. After uninstalling and reinstalling however, it stopped working again.
EDIT: I found the problem, if I enable "long press for numbers and syn.." I can long-press P to get 0. If I disable it however it won't work.

Thank god a bug You are right, the standard-layout doesn't have a popup menu defined. Thanks for noticing. Will fix it asap.
Glad you sorted the other problem out. I couldn't reproduce it. In some cases the keyboard can act not as expected after a fresh install. In that case a simple, infamous reboot will fix the problem. (Seems like a general Android problem)
Hello ! I found a little bug : when you select azerty layout ... it shows on qwerty

Hy,this beta have the italian language?
Major Swype update released yesterday.
http://beta.swype.com
You need to already be a beta tester.
I'm thrilled that they no longer automatically add words to the dictionary. That was my biggest complaint.
SwypeInc is pleased to announce the BETA release of the latest version of Swype!
With this version come two major new features, and several minor changes, bringing Swype support to more devices, and more stability for existing devices
Tap Correction - In v3 of Swype, we're introducing full tap correction functionality. Having trouble getting the hang of Swype and just want to tap for a little while? Prefer to tap out some words while Swyping others? No need to switch keyboards! Swype's powerful tap prediction and correction engine is based on many of the same principles that make Swyping so effective. We emphasize speed over accuracy, so tap away with reckless abandon and Swype will still make sure you're getting the words you want.
Automatic tap correction is enabled by default, but you can control exactly how it behaves through the new "Word Suggestion" category in Swype's settings screen. Simply long-press the Swype key, choose "Options" and then go to "Word Suggestion." You'll be able to set whether corrections happen automatically, whether Swype shows the actual tapped characters or the first suggestion in the active text field, and whether to show word suggestions at all.
Horizontal Word Choice List (HWCL) - While the pop-up Word Choice Window served us well for a long time, we have decided to utilize Android's built-in horizontal word choice list functionality, bringing us in line with evolving input standards.
Now, when you tap or Swype a word, suggestions will be displayed in a scrollable horizontal list above the keyboard. This has several major advantages:
No matter what happens, when you Swype something, a word will always be entered into the active text field.
We're able to display more suggestions at a time.
When you tap out a word, the characters you actually tapped - regardless of predictions - will appear at the beginning of the suggestion list.
Choosing to use a word you tapped in when it's not in our dictionary will offer an option to add that word to your dictionary via the HWCL; no more automatically adding misspelled words to the dictionary.
Honeycomb support - With v3 of Swype, we're now able to support tablets running Android Honeycomb with a customized layout and some awesome new features! The most noticable feature will be the "movable keyboard." With Swype active, press the "keyboard size" button in the lower-right corner. This will shrink the Swype keyboard to a size that's more conducive to Swyping, and allow you to tap-and-drag on the sides of the keyboard to move Swype to the center of the screen, the bottom left, or bottom right corner. It's excellent for people who want a one-handed thumb-swyping experience on their tablet, and for moving the keyboard out of the way when it's blocking something in the app you're using!
Extended device support - We've improved our licensing system in several ways, including the addition of support for devices that don't have a cellular plan. Bought a WiFi only Motorola Xoom? Now you can download the Swype BETA too! The new licensing scheme will work on any device that was SHIPPED with Android 2.3 or above, though older devices may work as well.
In addition to our licensing changes including better support for a wider range of devices, we've also fixed two pesky licensing bugs that many of you have complained about:
Swype will no longer fail to license after rebooting, with the error "Swype is configured for another device." This issue was due to a feature of new phones called "quickboot" and has been resolved.
On CDMA devices, Swype was unable to authorize its license when the device was in Airplane Mode. Now, if Swype detects that your device is in Airplane Mode, things will continue running as they should.
These changes are in addition to a wide array of minor compatibility updates, bug fixes, behavior changes, and feature updates. Swype v3 is a major milestone for us and we're proud to provide our BETA users with a first look at the work we've been doing on Swype over the past several months. We look forward to hearing your feedback on our forums, and hope you enjoy this powerful new version of Swype!
So, it says that it wont work if we already have Swype preinstalled with the phone. Does this matter if we we're rooted? I suppose I could remove the original Swype but has anyone tried installing this with Swype already installed?
just tried it out, it is much better for typing one letter at a time now which was my main issue with it
Just tried out. Looks much more better, wonder when will the release version come out after 18months
Just downloaded and installed. Seems to be working well. And it's quite easy to type on it too.
Oh, and you don't need to be a beta tester already. I signed up with a new account.

I do agree with the others that it's greatly improved. Tapping is much easier now.
As far as your question, yes, it should be possible to install this on a phone where swype is pre-installed.
This is what I did on my Droid X. Please research and see if this method is compatible with other phones before you attempt it. Proceed at your own risk.
Must be rooted.
Make your default keyboard something other than sywpe.
Go into applications and do a force close, clear cache, clear data on Swype. (I think this step is very important. I skipped it the first time and got force closes after I installed the new swype).
Rename \system\app\swype.apk to swype.apk.bak
Rename \data\dalvik-cache\[email protected]@[email protected] to [email protected]@[email protected]
Rename \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so to libSwypeCore.so.bak
Reboot
Install Swype Installer and follow the directions
If you ever want stock swype back, unistall swype app, uninstall swype installer, reboot and then rename the 3 files back.
After installing this beta, I can no longer switch to other keyboards. No matter which one I select, swype always resets itself as the default keyboard.
FYI. You have to uninstall v2.x before installing v3, otherwise it just stays version 2.x. You're also supposed to uninstall Swype Installer, but I didn't find that to be necessary.

I wish the suggestion bar was kept open... like how the default android does. Because the poping up and down gets to you after a while. Maybe I type too slow haha.

I came here with exactly the same complaint, haha. I hate how the text box keeps jumping around, it makes it harder to keep an eye on what you're typing
Otherwise, I'm loving the new beta. Switched to the Swiftkey beta a few months ago but Swype now doesn't type 'buys' every time I swype 'bus' so I might switch back

I did just fine removing just swype. I ran the installer and it looked for and downloaded the new version.
The only thing that annoys the hell out of me is how the cursor automatically goes to the end of the word instead of where you tap for it to go.
yea you can uninstall/reinstall if you have the 2.x beta :x..
Loving this new one.. the word list isn't as intrusive although word suggestions auto replacing what I wrote takes some getting used to.
Loving the new swype.
Don't forget to skin it

MUCH better.
I'd stopped using swype just last week, and switched to slideIT demo to see how that was. Was actually quite good, except for how difficult it was to use punctuation keys. Swype's implementation of that is very good.
My biggest problem with swype was that stupid annoying pop up screen saying something about a hidden word.
I'm not sure if Swype does this, but I certainly don't think it did before, was suggest words based on how often you use them.
But yes, overall very happy now.
Also at the end of my SMS, if i type for example "330" and click send... it seems to type 330 and leave it there for the next message to send again... not sure if I explained that well.
For example "meet you at 330" > Send (without clicking the suggestion for 330 on the bar.. just using what you typed that came up"
then it will have 330 there for the next message, which i then have to delete
Doesn't seem to happen every time, but it's happend enough, and seems to be mainly on words/numbers not in the dictionary

Yeah I know what you mean. When you press and hold to insert characters at the end of your message, for some reason it leaves those characters there even after you sent your message.

Can anyone tell me if Swype works with the Thunderbolt? Tried it a few months ago and it didn't. Can't find anything about update saying it supports it.
I love swype, ive gotten so used to hitting that swype button which highlights the last typed word then all you do is reswype the correct word (if it messed up).... the version you can download for free has a few themes (mostly sports), but the feel of it is different from the one i have. (stock samsung ICS version of swype). just wondering if there was some rootish type way to make my own themes and import them somehow.
ive tried other keyboards but none of them have that quick highlight last word button that ive gotten SO used to using... i know you can double click on the word and it will highlight, but that also brings up a menu on my already tiny screen... i just love the simplicity of swype
