So I've been trying some of the many new ROMs we've seen lately. I've read through the bug reports and searched around cannot find anyone else having this issue. I install Swype Beta on every ROM and usually it works fine. However on some of the new ones it randomly won't want to swipe anymore. It starts acting like a normal keyboard. It worked just fine on the CM rom port Alpha 6. But it messes up on the recent Miui and the new Mik Sense v0.4 or something along those lines. Is this swypes fault or the ROM? should I reinstall one or the other?
I've had the same issues with Mik Sense v0.4. It might be a multi-touch thing because I was having similar issues with other apps.
I have the same issue intermittantly on CM9 and JB using FlexT9. The added dimension is that voice to text won't work either when the swype typing is jacked. When the swype typing is OK so is voice to text.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I vaguely recall having issues with getting the default keyboard to work when removing swype from bulletproof - doubt that info helps, but it did cause a headache on a modified stock gingerbread build.

I think you're dead on with the multi-touch issue. It only happens if I've been pecking the keyboard instead of swiping. For instance, if I type half a text by just pressing letters then try to swipe, it wont work. But then after the screen is inactive awhile it goes back to working. So now I'm guessing it's the rom itself?
On Sense ROMS there is a really cook function called trace. It uses the Stock KB but allows you to swype around to text.
My opinion is Swype sucks, it always has and always will*Please don't flame for my opinions. Anyways trace won't help on AOSP but it will sure fix the Sense issue.
I'm not thinking its due to multitouch at all, we always had issues on the HTC EVO Shift not wanting to swype for us after a few so once we all learned about what HTC provided in the keyboard settings we all loved it.

Could you elaborate on this trace a little? I've been running sense and never even heard of it. I really liked the ROM besides me not being able to use swype. If this is an adequate replacement I'm definitely up for testing it out.

Hey guys, I was wondering if there's a way to get the normal android stock keyboard on my HTC hero (Sprint). Thanks!
Jason
i was wondering this as well?
is the stock keyboard more responsive or quicker then htc's? ido love htc keyboard but if stock is any quicker and faster i might try that
Using the search function of the site pulled up this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5223276
Once again, using the SEARCH function I was able to find that in no time at all. Try it sometime.
Not trying to be a **** about it but yeah... Anyway try swype. It is pretty awesome once you get used to it. I wasn't convinced that I was typing faster using swype but when I flashed a rom that put me back on the HTC keyboard I realized just how slow and weird it felt to tap the keys instead of drawing on the keyboard. Not that I suggest it, but it makes it much easier to text and drive as well. But don't do that. Focus on the xda-forum search for now. Its up at the top.
already tried swype, liked it just wanna try stock, and on that post noone can get it to work

So.... maybe what if it doesn't work? Gasp
The XDA keyboard is great an all, but I've really loved the AOSP Keyboard on the older DarchLegend roms. I don't see it on any of his new roms, and i can't find an .apk for it.
I've searched for awhile, no luck. Anyone know where it's at?
are you talking about the OEM android keyboard? if so then i second that. i'd love to find out how to get the keyboard back. i hate the htc keyboard with a passion
Yeah. The HTC keyboard, and our version of it, arent great. I also find them very laggy at times; I have to type very slowly and deliberately, which isn't cool.
This should work, just flash from recovery.
http://www.mediafire.com/?qjymjydmw0m
EDIT: Works with latest Sprint Leak, but also works with old Legend leak.
So try it on the new
Perfect, thanks!
So I flashed this keyboard and it shows up under my Keyboard settings but the HTC Keyboard still shows up when I want to type. Is there something I'm missing? I'm using a flashed version of the Sprint 2.1 leak.

Not in my experience. With the sound and vibration off, it's just as fast as the sense keyboard with sound and vibration off, same goes for them both on. Also, it keeps giving me nonsensical autocorrections. It tries to correct common words like "an" to "Android".

this keyboard makes my life a lot easier
what i'm really interested in is how to do it for future apps?
It seems that alot of cooks are cooking in the XDA Sense keyboard and I have found it extremely laggy. Glad I found this to install. Thanks.
When I installed the AOSP keyboard, the a and l both have gaps on the side of them and are transparent, is there any way to fix this?
Using the keyboard in Darchdroid has made me like my phone again. The HTC keyboard is so painfully laggy its mindnumbing. The stock Android keyboard is instant and accurate, love it.

Same here. I have been using it for awhile and I like it alot more. The keys are smaller which as I get more accurate I have found I can type faster than on the htc keyboard.

Hmm, not sure you are right about this. This keyboard is for sure great,.but gingerbread keyboard has all important base base features, like multi touch key combos. It also looks attracting. And best, we will have full sources for it, which makes it much more easy to expand.
It might attract an active developer, time will show....

I really hope this is possbile on the nexus s. The HTC IME keyboard is absolutely indispensible to me. It in my experience has by far the best spell correction out of any keyboard I've tried. No other keyboard can I mess a word up so bad, add in a few extra letters than the word has, or not have enough, and it will still figure out what I'm trying to say.

Big thanks, gimpsta. I've been playing around with the keyboard generator since last night and it's an awesome service :]
I also have a wild, nubby question:
Probably the only thing I love about the stock Froyo keyboard is the upward-swipe gesture that extends the number and punctuation rows above the qwerty layout. The long-press method on HTC IME is alright, but not quite as fast (for me) as the upward-swipe.
Is that something that's even possible to incorporate into this mod? Or is it sort of an apples to oranges kind of thing?
Thanks for keeping everything up to date. If I know myself well enough, I'll be back to your generator in about two days to whip up another layout
You can set long press delay to 250 ms which is much faster to me than swype up on stock kb.
Love the keyboard!
Mainly using Swype now but HTC_IME mod still rocks

Thanks buddy! Thits what I get for not digging deep enough in the settings. I got too dazzled by the swipe features and missed out in that option-- it's totally what I wanted. What stock Froyo keyboard? :]
is it possible to get some features like multitouch etc from the Gingerbread keyboard? or maybe use the Gingerbread keyboard but modify it so the interface looks exactly like this one?
I really love the HTC_IME, but I can't make it work with HD2One with "lcd_density=200".

The first part, no. As far as making the gingerbread keyboard look like this, it could probably be skinned to look like this and maybe some features added, but if you really want THIS (htc_ime mod) keyboard/feature set with multitouch I highly recommend smart keyboard pro. You can skin it to look just like htc_ime (or anything you want) and it has literally every feature htc_ime mod has and then some.

It's really not possible (or at least very easy) to modify the resolution of these keyboards without source. If there isn't one that works for your resolution then there isn't much anyone can do at this moment, sorry.

PS I'm a FUC...ng noobie!!!
I've been debating about this over the weekend since I installed ARHD on my Sensation.
I know CM7 is still on Alpha, but I'm wondering if it's worth switching over the CM7. I used to run CM when I had my Nexus, and it was awesome. I don't know why but Sense is just so appealing to look at and the Eye Candy is just awesome, so I'm kind of debating on whether or not I should make the switch to CM7 or not. Also, how's the battery life on CM7 in Alpha? ARHD is giving me pretty much 10-12hours of usage with everything on and fairly heavy usage.
I was using revolution HD for a while on my sensation. I did the XE with beats 3.6.0 upgrade too, and it was nice... although I wanted to give cm7 a try. I am very impressed... for alpha, it is incredibly stable. Camera is nicer, it's nearly instantaneous (where revolution still had a 1-2 second delay between launch and home) boot is faster, battery is better... all sorts of neat things.
Basically you're going to be giving up your Camera, HTC keyboard, Video Recording, Sense Dialer. I tried it and went back to LeeDROiD, because I couldn't handle the camera and missed the keyboard.

If you don't need the eyecandy... go with CM7.
If you do need the eyecandy... go with MiUi.
If you need HTC stuff... stay with Sense. Otherwise CM and MiUi rape Sense on performance.
Personally I use both. I like both and have always been loyal to the CM roms on all my phones. The I lovethe speed of this rom however I do like ARHD. The What ever I feeling that week I run. I keep nandroids of both and keep them up to date and restore when needed.

But, the camera and lockscreen are two significant reasons I always end up coming back to a Sense rom.

You lose all these things? You can't use the camera or record video?
For me I'd say Swype > HTC Keyboard
I have no idea what the Sense Dialer is, but I'm sure the alternative is that you can still dial and call people. =)
I agree I have the beats theme with the alien lockscreen. I know many are not impressed with the beats Software however my music sounds great. I use SwiftKey x as well. I just wish there was a bigger selection of skins.

Yeah SwiftKey is the nuts. Just because you have a sense rom doesn't mean you have to use it. Plenty of launchers out there. I'm uprooted using lp+ and the phone is flying. Really tempted to go with arhd though.

He just means HTC's version of each.
In my opinion MiUi is the best ROM. I think it beats out CM for total functionality and the themes and eyecandy are endless. It's CM taken to the next level. I even used to run the Swype keyboard on it with my HD2, haven't tried with the Sensation.

Cm7 alpha 7 as the option to launch up to 4 apps from the lockscreen... That's why we love cm nightly... Updated every night! And we're not even in the official nightly yet
Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict who've been sober for too long!!!
There might be too many bugs in CM7 at the moment for me to just jump on to it. How easy is it to keep updating nightlies? Will all my apps stay from each update to update? Helping with the alpha and providing issues may be something that would make me switch over.
using CM7 alpha 7 right now. Loving it. The only thing I missed was the lock screen and alpha 7 has a similar one to sense, so i'm good now. 1080p recording still not active but will be. Also
one other thing I miss about sense was the face book to contacts sync. CM7 can sync them but not as good. I have some contacts under nicknames that sense used to match with my face book friends. But overall I prefer CM7, much smoother and more customizable.

I have Android Revolution 3.60. im on Bell and haven't flashed the recommended radio. Im scared to do so, as my other phone- moto dext would overwrite my existing radio with tmob's if i updated it. Im used to flashing roms with no radio. My battery really sucks it drops like mad and have to constantly charge
CM7 all the way, but...
I have been using CM7 for a couple of weeks, and I can say that even in alpha, this rom is great. The bugs are not that significant (at least for me) and it is extremely fast. I am not big in the eye candy thing, so for me I prefer a simpler rom than one with more bells and whistles.
That being said, ARHD is the best Sense rom out there, especially because it was the first one with full access to the dual core processor. Mike1984 has done a great job with the rom, it is extremely stable and the add-ons are nice. I have to be honest and I don't think that there is a camera app that can beat the Sense one. I am talking about basic functions, meaning taking pics and recording video, as there is no 2-3 seconds delay after pressing the shutter button.
I don't think that CM7 is for everybody (not right now), so if you just want your phone to work flawlessly, I will say go with ARHD.
P.S.: I personally don't like MIUI, it is too iphonish for me, but I would agree with another person in this forum, who says that it is the evolution of CM7. I do like the performance of the rom, just not the look of it, I hope that they bring back the app drawer.
Why won't the home screen of this phone rotate just by rotating the phone? At first, I thought maybe they didn't have landscape versions of all of the widgets, or something. But if you slide open the keyboard, the entire Sense UI rotates. It just won't rotate without opening the keyboard. What's up with that? Would it be possible to create a mod that allowed it to rotate without opening the keyboard?

Stop taking it so personally. And yes, it is a bug, or as some would call it a "feature by design".
I have said again and again, you make the best Sense rom even with that one flaw. Don't get so angry over it. Nothing is perfect and you need to be able to accept criticism.
Which leads me to another question, can Sense 3.5 do landscape on the home screen?

Lol you got some catching up to do, if a ROM isnt made with a camera thats not a bug, if this Rosie wasnt coded for landscape(which its not) that still means its not a bug, and when it comes to sense 3.5 it might landscape its made for single core kb devices

Can't wait! That would be the ultimate sense ROM for Speedy!
Keep up the good work!
I will post this once. With everything you have, you need to have trade-offs. It's like a car. You can have GREAT acceleration and speed but you have to usually trade out handling. It's the same with roms. Nothing can work at 100% efficiency ever. It's the flaw of engineering. Both hardware and software follow that law. Stop taking criticism so personally and just try and fix it some how. :|
But then you will have to trade something else off as well so make sure you weigh the options.
Prboy, thanks so much.
No problem, here to help when I can
