HTC_IME for Nexus One [Pixelated Version]

http://drop.io/p12auxn#
I'm not 100% sure this is it since I don't have my Nexus One yet so I need someone willing to test.
I found it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFh9RKsN6w&feature=player_embedded

This is the same one that's pixelated on the Nexus One. Also, doesn't stretch the full screen in landscape mode.

It is still the pixelated version. That wouldn't even bother me that much if the correction bar on the top fit on the screen and wasn't horribly warped.

Damn sorry then. The one in the video looks good though.

do you need to be rooted for this? Because I tried it using an appinstaller. It shows up in the clicker, but when I create new messages, it reverts back to the stock google keyboard.

You have to go into the settings and enable it, then when you're in a message box click the box and hold, then select "input method". You can alternate between the 2.

haha ya i forgot to do the "hold" part in the message box. thanks!
pixelated...but at least i don't have to switch back n forth for numbers and punctuations. can't wait for the non-pixelated version w/ microphone key =)

We'll need a high-res 2.1 SenseUI device to come out - probably need to wait for a Bravo leak.

Yep, works fine on N1 running MCR1.1 but pixelated. Will have to live with that for a while as it still beats the hell out of the standard Android keyboard...

Is the file linked from youtube the same as this file?

So I emailed HTC to find out if they will update the htc_ime.apk so that it will work on the nexus or look properly I should say. I am currently waiting for a response... let you guys know when I get a reply. I will post it.

Ha good luck with that. They won't update it until they release a phone with the Hi-Res Sense UI.
Most likely we'll have to wait until a bravo dump is leaked or another sense UI device w/ a hi res screen's dump is leaked.

I'm running HTC_IME on the N1.... its great to have it back, only complaint is the lack of the dedicated 'microphone' key thats in the default keyboard... so AFAIK once you install HTC_IME you can NOT dictate text messages and the like

Does anyone know how to edit the dictionary for htc ime?

I don't know about editing words but you can erase it by going into your settings > applications > keyboard > clear data.

I installed this and it works great but my only issue-request would be to add more languages. The option is there, when you go to settings from inside the keyboard, but unfortunately, only english is available.
In the past, people have made language packs...could someone do on for this? pleeeeeeeease?
Thanks,
Lou

I used to change com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml file to enable dual language on my htc ime. I was wondering if this can be changed in the apk before installing. I dont want to root my nexus.
Thanks

Anyone have any idea what that task killer widget is he uses in the video? Basically its sitting on the homescreen and kills the tasks with one click, no need to open an app...

Stock Keyboard?

I was wondering if anyone had installed the stock android keyboard on their MT4G successfully?
I installed a custom HTC keyboard from gimpsta.com, but after selecting it as my keyboard in Settings, I still get the swype keyboard.

Long press on a text input field, e.g. browser field, message body field, email body field, etc, select "INPUT," then chose the keyboard of your liking. The Touch Input keyboard is HTC's, though, not default Android.

D'oh!
Thank you!! Works perfect.
The keyboard I am using is the HTC IME with a customized skin from gimpsta.com.
Works perfect. I like having my number keys all in a row, also mic input now an option and smiley emoticon button is there.

Thanks for this, I spent hours looking for this in settings. Do you know if its possible to download and install the "default" Android keyboard?

You can use smart keyboard pro which has the skin for the default android keyboard plus others like iphone,htc, and different colors for the default keyboard.

I just want the normal swype keyboard that had the microphone and similies button. How did you go about getting it?

HTC Sensation + Swype

Just FYI, Swype works just fine on the HTC Sensation and is still the best/fastest keyboard for any device (IMHO).
The Beta program at Swype is currently open to new members.

I am having issues with swype on htc sensation. I am not able to get french and german languages. I only have english us/uk, portuguese, italian and spanish. I used to have french and german with swype on my htc magic. Anyone with a solution?

Press the text box (where you want to type, so the address bar in the browser) click input method from the box that comes up, then Swype.

Disregard.

I've registered with two different emails and I've requested to have the activation resent but they don't send anything. I've checked my junk mail. Does anyone have the actual apk or am I stuck?

Have to say it looks awesome with qHD now supported, works very well too

Just be patient, when I first registered it took a few days to get it.

Alright, I just want it so bad. I'm so used to it. Thanks.

What's the difference between Swype and Trace which is already on the sense keyboard? Also, can you use a standard phone keyboard with Swype? I've been using the standard phone keyboard in portrait, but when I turn the phone to landscape to bring up the full keyboard, the trace function is missing. It only works when the portrait keyboard is set to full keyboard.

got it.
still puzzles me why HTC decided not to load Swype on the Sensation and come up with their own...
anyway, what is up with the part of the agreement saying it can/may read your passwords, credit card info, ect?
edit: never mind... didn't realize it's a standard Android message for non market typing app... doh! lol

One sucks and one doesn't lol (j/k). Swype has been around a while been adjusted and tweaked based on feedback of millions of users. Trace, while a nice attempt by HTC to add the same functionality doesn't come close

I'd say try it again now. My brother was trying all night to get the email sent & it never went through. Went back today to get the verification email resent & it was instant.

in your swype settings, do you have word prediction ticked?
you always need to tick that on installing! lol
so just go to keyboard setting, or tap the swype key when your writing then pres options, andmake sure its ticked
. that should cure it.

word suggestion& auto-correction are on.

definitely puzzling. Did you download a new installer. Then the beta. If you downloaded english spanish beta. Try fill or vice versa
Swyped from my HTC Sensation Pyramid using my thumb and eyes

I tried both. i even uninstalled, cleared all swype data & tried that, no dice. charging phone now to do a hard reset & see if that works

Just did a hard reset & still getting this stupid bug.

For me to add a new word that doesn't exists, I first have to manually type it and select it on the word suggestion bard (because auto correct will try to suggest a "correct" word). After I select the word, the option to "add <word> to dictionary" will appear for me on the word suggestion bar and pressing it will add it to the dictionary (Somewhat like stock gingerbread keyboard).

yeah I do that & it says that it added the word, yet when I reswipe it it's not added. I can do this 10 times in a row & it still won't stick

So I'm apparently an idiot & my Swype does work. I was under the impression that when it said 'Add "xnifex" to the dictionary' it was notifying me that that's what it was doing. I wasn't aware that you had to tap that notification for it to work. On the HD2 if you manually type in a word it's automatically added to the dictionary so I thought it was the same behavior. Yay for the swype team helping me out.

Did you actually clicked on "add <word> to dictionary"? Unlike on Froyo, where Swype saves a word after hitting space, now the users have to confirm the action by clicking on the right above the keyboard.
I was so used to the old swype, it took me 2 days to realize that...

Yep, now I know this too. Had the admin brian over on the swype forums tell me about it. I'm used to the old swype as well.

Lol well done mate
Swyped from my HTC Sensation Pyramid using my thumb and eyes

I'd just like to add that I had this problem, I was tapping to add to dictionary and there were literally no words in the dictionary, it was basically a tap keyboard. I uninstalled with Titanium Backup, then installed the Full version instead of the English/Other language one. This one has a dictionary and will save new words to it.

Thanks guys, I learned something new today;-)
Swyped from HTC Pyramid, using XDA Premium App.

I just want to say that I had the exact same issue as the OP. I thought that it was automatically adding the words to the dictionary, but some bug prevented them from appearing or something. I just wasn't clicking the "Add "word" to dictionary".
To be fair, it's not very clear on the UI that it's something that you can or should press. It doesn't have a question mark at the end, which would make you realise that it's ASKING you something, not telling you something.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Swype is the best. My only problem is the word bar above the keyboard. I find it distracting, and hard to get used to. I've looked everywhere trying to find a way to turn it off. Besides that, swype is 1,000x better than what comes with the sensation.

LISTEN EVERYONE..to solve the problem download a app called ''SMS to swype'' and it picks up every word you type from all the keyboards you used and saves them to the dictionary SOLVED

[Q] HTC keyboard problem after update Jelly Bean

Hello all,
After the update Jelly Bean on my HOXL (update OTA in Switzerland), my original HTC keyboard has a small problem or bug.
In fact, I am used to this keyboard and don't suggest other keyboards please, thanks for understanding. So, I use it in "Phone" type and always with option xt9.
Before - when I was typing a sms f.ex. in WhatsApp (mode xt9) and clicked on "send", the mode xt9 remained active.
Now - when I type a text message (mode xt9) and click "send", the mode will change to "ABC".
The result, for each ligne I must click on "xt9" --> it's pretty annoying.
Have you noticed the same problem? How to fix this bug to have the selected option "xt9" always active, as before with ICS ?
Thank you for your answers

Have you checked setting, language an keyboard then type?

Hi,
Yes of course, all options are well configured.

Had to ask of course...
Have you chosen that keyboard from the toast notification that pops up when you go into a text entry field, an same result?
I don't know other then perhaps to go to options and clear the default app setting for HTC Sense input.
Back up your personal dictionary before clearing defaults just in case.

Everything you suggested is done, but notihing changed ....

It may turn out like other things in JB an has been removed by HTC like scrolling wall papers.
I don't have anything else to offer other then remove second party apps like Sms apps an testing it further.
