I'm now taking a break from the work on this mod due to serious lack of time. I've spent a huge amount of time on this mod already and also shared all my code and methods. I hope the community has benefited from this. You are all free to do whatever you want with my code if you want to make further improvements. I hope I can find some time to continue this little project later this summer. Thanks for all the encouraging words, feature suggestions and bug reports. Couldn't have done this without you all

Download
v27
High resolution version
High resolution version (Froyo/2.2)
Low resolution version for Android 1.6 and up
Low resolution version for Android 1.5 (no voice input)
Instructions:
Download and unzip (not flashable update.zip!)
Install the two apks (HTC_IME & Clicker) using your favorite method (via a file manager or adb install -r). Sense users shouldn't (and needn't) install Clicker.
There is no need to push anything to /system
Go to Menu, Settings, Language & Keyboard. Activate "HTC_IME mod"
To change keyboard, long press on lower left key on stock keyboard or any input field. Select input method in the menu.
See note below if you have earlier versions than v22 installed already!
Requirements:
Android
Compatible resolution screen
Compatible CPU. Sorry can't say which they are but I know some Samsung phones are not supported. This is due to the included HTC native prediction library.
Configuring my hacks
All configuration is now done in the settings dialog. No need for config files on SD card (v22 and up).
Some options modifies stuff that are set when the keyboard first loads. Thus you need to kill it for changes to take effect (or reboot).
Upgrade notes
Starting with v22 I now use my own java package name. This means that it can be installed in parallel with stock HTC_IME (no root needed on Sense).
Settings from v21 and earlier can't be read from v22 and up. You must enter them again. The user dictionary can be exported from v21 and imported into v22. Both versions can coexist during this process. This inconvenience will only happen between v21 and newer. Sorry for this, but this change will enable me do to more advanced mods in the future.
v23 has a hires Clicker. You should install it if not using Sense

Version 8: Added custom word candidates bar. Fixed wacky SHIFT key. Word candidate list position now remembered. Configurable in settings dialog. Added some Extras to voice input Intent copied from stock KB (missed earlier). One step closer to Droid landscape support.
Version 7: Fixed compatibility with Terminal Emulator in CyanogenMod, KB going haywire in CoPilot and word candidate list shows to low (hid active input field sometimes like in stock messaging app). Lowered android:minSdkVersion from 7 to 3. This could mean stock Droid support, but don't complain when it FC's on Cupcake
Version 6: Tweaks to the sentence auto capitalization code. Should now work in most web browser forms such as the message composer on this forum. Tweaked enter key behavior a bit.
Version 5: Show voice input button for all languages instead of EN button in all keyboards that uses the same layouts as the English ones. To fix this in all other layouts, modding binary XML is required. I need help with that. Voice input seems to use your current locale if supported, and English as fallback.
Version 4: New voice input control logic that doesn't break Google Voice search. Changed voice processing URL from dev server to stock keyboard settings.
Version 3: Fixed FC in User Dictionary editor. Fixed HTC not obeying EditorInfo.imeOption flag flagNoEnterAction (caused two sends in stock messaging app)
Version 2: Fixed FC in user database
Version 1: Initial release featuring language settings hack with .htcime and dictionary support in web browser forms. Tested on N1. Clicker is low res for now.
Old low res:
Version 4: Better support for OpenEclair (at least one reported succes with Dutch on it)
Version 3: Supports Samsung Galaxy/Spica (this version has never been featured on xda)
Version 2: Dictionary support in web browser forms
Version 1: Initial release featuring language settings hack with .htcime
Hi
Is working right on lanscape?
Is this still the pixelated 320 pixel one?
Yes it does work in landscape, although It doesn't cover the whole screen. It's still usable in my opinion. All other versions of HTC_IME has this behavior on nexus. It's because it's designed for lower resolutions. I haven't changed this.
Edit: It's also pixelated due to the higher resolution on Nexus. Maybe we can use something from the upcoming Bravo. Time will tell.
And what about the HD2 skin
Never edited this apk, so i dunno if can be do it
Nice one. thanks for this.
I've been looking for a way to do this.
Since you can't post the link could you please tell me what file I need to change on the cyanogen version so that I can have multiple languages?
I've been paying around with it but wasn't successful.
Thanks
Lou
Swedish user
Works great! Thanks!
I'm still waiting for a mod to approve me as a non spammer so I can post the link
The main edit is done in SIPUtils.smali. This method originally loads languages from htc's customization provider.
.method public static localeLanguagePicker(Landroid/content/ContextI
I have replaced its content entirely. This is where I load the info from .htcime or in it's absence fall back on default values.
The key points here is the variables
Lcom/htc/android/htcime/HTCIMMData;->mSettingsLocaleData:[[Ljava/lang/String;
Lcom/htc/android/htcime/HTCIMMData;->mSettingsLocaleNumber:I
You must populate the array with your languages and set the number correctly.
In Java terms you have for example
Code:
int dims[] = new int[]{19, 2};
String[][] d = (String[][]) java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(String.class, dims);
d[0][0] = "English";
d[0][1] = "0";
d[1][0] = "Arabic";
d[1][1] = "14";
mSettingsLocaleData = d;
mSettingsLocaleNumber = 2;
This would give you English and Arabic. localeLanguagePicker must return the current selected language id as int, so you must read that from SharedPrecerences (key is "keyboard_language")
I have also removed a to call ListPreference.setValueIndex from
.method private localePicker
in KeyboardSettings.smali to avoid a FC.
It's complicated to explain in an easy way... I'll pm you the URL for my mod. baksmali it and diff it to cyanogens
This is the link to jonasl's work.

thank you so much for this. I hope you can post this soon because many people have been waiting for this.
MERCI
GRACIAS
THANKS.
can we still use the voice dictation feature (the mic key in the google keyboard) to dictate commands with this apk?
No, there is no such button on the HTC keyboard and I have not added one. I have just fixed the language settings dialog. The keyboard is designed for Hero w. 1.5. voice input doesn't exist on it. Also some people like me don't use speech input so we don't miss it.
It's more like I have restored the original features on non-Hero phones than adding new ones.
Thanks so much! This is what I had been hoping for for a *very* long time.

I already posted it for everyone since jonasl was not allowed to post links here yet.
So I installed the htc ime and put the .htcime file in the root of my sd, and get the htc keyboard now and can select Swedish as a language but its not like I get "åäö" keys or anything, what exactly is it you're supposed to get with this mod?
Swedish dictionary support. It will work exactly as on stock HTC Hero firmware. Set it to Swedish. Start write a SMS message. Tap in the word "nastan". It will suggest "nästan". To write åäö manually, press and hold a or o and slide to the correct character. This is the way the Hero keyboard works, no more no less.

Oh ok, Yeah I used the previous HTC_IME floating around before this and I was hoping for actual buttons, but the dictionary is a welcome addition!
The updated link...
http://www.mediafire.com/file/mmqmjuzorvm/htc_ime_custom_settings2.zip
Updated the mod to enable dictionary prediction in web forms in your browser. I've never seen that working on any HTC_IME before, not even on Hero. If you want that, download and install again. First version is still available in post #9.
when i choose arabic i dont see any arabic letters on the keyboard?!? i did this manually before this post but didnt work for arabic
Hi all!
A few days ago i found a really cool alternative keyboard to the stock one as well as to swype. Now, after i tested it for sometime, i wanted to share it with you.
So since i didn't find a thread for keyboards in here, i came to the idea to make a collection of alternative keyboards, where everyone can introduce his favourites and list the options of it.
I'll make the start:
Ultra Keyboard - a really good keyboard with loads of options, very precise swyping and, in my opinion, unmatched word suggestion. I'm using the version 5.6.3 right now.
PRO:
- faster word suggestion than swype
- in my opinion much better precision than the 2.44 version of swype (1.6 was much better, but did unfortunately expire)
- all important layouts (QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Alphabetical, Compact Keyboard (T9), automatical switch to numeric pad, when in an appropiate field)
- many themes (presets or even self made)
- adjustable button height for perfect precision
- option to manually calibrate the keyboard
- gesture support (for example to cange dictionary language, i use it to change from english to german and back)
- built-in translation feature
- speech-to-text
- camera mode for "transparent" screen (useful if you're typing while you walk)
- easily add and delete words in your user dictionary
- much more ... just try it!
- available dictionaries: english, german, french, italian, dutch, spanish
CONTRA:
- like all good things, it's not free
Price: 2,00 € (about 2.50$)

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So that's all i remember right now. Oh, just to add that: This is no advertisement and I'm not connected to the developer in any way
So what keyboards can you suggest?
I started using HTC mod then I used Smart Keyboard PRO
this was very easy and I find that it have the most effective error correction ability. means you can trype the word but you will never touch correct key always. but touching the next key to the desired key and still you will end up getting the correct word at the end.
Then I switched to SwiftKey Keyboard
It has unique ability to lean my way of typing and suggest my next word. so far it made my typing faster.
Check it out...
I'm using SlideIT. If you choose free (demo) version it has some limitations like 10 custom words in memory. It expires after some time but then I just reinstall it and it works like a charm again...
So, long story short you have free keyboard with swyping support and tons of different languages.
HTC IME.....

Fixed: experimental Droid 2.1 landscape support, more robust period insertion on space double tap, rare FC when moving the candidate list (HTC bug), typing " I'm " with compact qwerty (HTC bug), FC when clicking on disabled T9 toggle button (HTC bug), better compatibility between space insertion and smileys, User dictionary is no longer a pain to manage due to scrolling (consequence of HTC incompetence, learn how to use ListViews and Adapters guys!)
Version 12: Fixed rotation issues in some apps (ie Terminal). T9/ABC setting is now remembered when switching between letter/number views (HTC's bug, not mine)
Version 11: Fixed saving position of word suggestion list (a typo caused the same value to be used for all orientations). Fixed auto cap in browser with physical keyboard.
Version 10: Many new options (see feature list). Fixes: voice input in all keyboards, voice input didn't capitalize correctly, "speak now" dialog showing to early, prediction not showing for passwords anymore, auto capitalization for T9/compact QWERTY now works in browser, smoother movement of word suggestion list, settings button showed "EN" (now scaled icon from lowres), Landscape now works on Droid (with resolution related glitches)
Version 9: Fixed the screwed up enter key in v8. Added experimental voice server settings. For German to work you will have to use the alternative server.
Version 8: Added custom word candidates bar. Fixed wacky SHIFT key. Word candidate list position now remembered. Configurable in settings dialog. Added some Extras to voice input Intent copied from stock KB (missed earlier). One step closer to Droid landscape support.
Version 7: Fixed compatibility with Terminal Emulator in CyanogenMod, KB going haywire in CoPilot and word candidate list shows to low (hid active input field sometimes like in stock messaging app). Lowered android:minSdkVersion from 7 to 3. This could mean stock Droid support, but don't complain when it FC's on Cupcake
Version 6: Tweaks to the sentence auto capitalization code. Should now work in most web browser forms such as the message composer on this forum. Tweaked enter key behavior a bit.
Version 5: Show voice input button for all languages instead of EN button in all keyboards that uses the same layouts as the English ones. To fix this in all other layouts, modding binary XML is required. I need help with that. Voice input seems to use your current locale if supported, and English as fallback.
Version 4: New voice input control logic that doesn't break Google Voice search. Changed voice processing URL from dev server to stock keyboard settings.
Version 3: Fixed FC in User Dictionary editor. Fixed HTC not obeying EditorInfo.imeOption flag flagNoEnterAction (caused two sends in stock messaging app)
Version 2: Fixed FC in user database
Version 1: Initial release featuring language settings hack with .htcime and dictionary support in web browser forms. Tested on N1. Clicker is low res for now.
Old low res:
Version 4: Better support for OpenEclair (at least one reported succes with Dutch on it)
Version 3: Supports Samsung Galaxy/Spica (this version has never been featured on xda)
Version 2: Dictionary support in web browser forms
Version 1: Initial release featuring language settings hack with .htcime

Want to skin it?.....
gIMpSTa said:
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: http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/
URL for LOW RES online kitchen: http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/
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!

I think the same, i just started looking for other swyping keyboards because the latest release of Swype is a big step backwards from version 1.6 regarding accuracy and speed. But i'm glad I started looking, there are a lot of better keyboards out there, and right now ultra keyboard seems perfect for me

can anyone please tell me the perfect settings for ultra..

i feel it very complicated...
i got used to swype...
so any of you please tell me the exact settings to be put in ultra to make it more better than swype!
I tried Ultra too...
I didn't like it so, i'm with swype till gets out of bet and will cost money.
After, i'll have to decide which one i will use.
What i don't like about swype is the small selection of dictonaries while for Ultra probably you can create your own.

Well, for a start, just the keyboard options that you find here:
- Enable tracing. That's the swipe option in Ultra keyboard.
- set key height to a value that fits you perfect. Just try writing a few sentences till it feels right.
- Choose your Layout (QWERTZ, QWERTY, Compact (T9), AZERTY, Alphabetical)
Now, the other options (you find them, if you scroll the options bar on the keyboard horizontally, symbol is two crossed tools ):
- under "Typing" you can calibrate the keyboard so that you're able to hit the keys precisely. Calibrate both portrait and landscape mode.
- Under "Gestures" you can set, well, gestures There are a lot of options, I use a swipe down to chose my second dictionary. Set it to whatever you like
- under "Suggestions" you can choose to add contact names to the dictionary or blacklist words you don't need.
- note that Ultra keyboard repeats letters if you pause over a key, that's different than Swype is doing. You can enable/disable that under "Tracing"
That's some points I can think of right now. If there is something you want to change/ do or if you don't understand, just ask
Cheers

when i "trace" lol it always comes up as LOL and then id have to select the undercase option, how do i get it to stop automatically capitalizing my "lol"s?

I just find that you still have to type pretty precisely for the prediction or auto correct to really take effect.
I do really like that you can use your own background though.
I am going to stick with this for a bit, I find sometimes these keyboards get better the longer you use them.

auto capitalization doesn't seem to be working. just thought I'd let you know..
The custom background is a nice feature, as is the transparency setting...really opens up the theming possibilities.

The haptic feedback on long delete gets kind of obnoxious. It would be nice if that switched to one vibe per word on long press delete.

A Swype interface is a whole other ball game. No current plans but I will consider it in future versions if enough users demand it.
Others have asked for a width setting but how would that work? The keyboard is already the full width of the screen. How would you make it wider?

The auto-caps behavior in Opera and UC is by design. A keyboard is only supposed to use auto-caps if the app requests it, and Opera and UC do not request it for any fields. SwiftKey X behaves the same way, but Swype other keyboards seem to ignore the request and auto-cap everything. Personally I think the keyboard should respect the app's request but I am open to other arguments!
I could not reproduce your second bug report in UC browser. I saw predictions when I typed in a text field on m.facebook.com and m.google.com. When sites did you try?

Very promising keyboard!
Haptic feedback on long press delete is, as previously stated, a trauma tho! Reckon the entire word delete on long press would be a good idea - also an "Extra Short" setting for the haptic would be cool since I'm on a Desire and the haptic is extreme!!!

Yes that was it. Amazingly, UC8 sets the "no suggestions" flag for ALL text fields. I don't see suggestions in UC8 with any keyboard I tried. This is a bug report for UC8!
As for auto-caps, UC8 doesn't request it either, but SwiftKey X seems to always use auto-caps in multi-line text fields, which makes a lot of sense to me. Look for this in the next version of TypeSmart!
Scoobysnacks you have been very helpful and I really appreciate it. Let me know if I can ever do anything for you.

First I 'd like to thank P4qui7o for his original thread here on modifying this app. I used ideas and resources from his project to make my own.
I have made a Cyanogen 2.3.4 mod of the Messaging Application (Mms.apk).
These changes where made in java code on the official Cyanogenmod source tree and compiled and not smali.
I 've tested it in Xperia and ZTE devices and works fine.
The extra features are:
* GSM Alphabet 160 character sms support and automatic conversion for
↳ Greek
↳ Czech
↳ Spanish
↳ French
↳ Polish
↳ Portuguese
↳ Slovak
↳ Turkish
Message is converted on Send and it is shown in the thread as it was sent.
* T9/X9 is not affected by typing and GSM conversion.
* Delivery Report Notification on Status Bar with sound (can be disabled from preferences)
* The Delivery Report sound is the Notification sound defined in System Settings, so it can be different than the Incoming SMS Alert Sound and can be distinguished.
* Vibration on Delivery Report when Status Bar notification is enabled (this can be disabled from preferences as well)
* Normal pop up (toast) notification on delivery report.
* Delivery reports show the exact phone number beside the Contact name and not only the description.
* Full timestamp on messages (not only date) (can be enabled from menu)
* Original Timestamp support that shows the exact sending date and not the received date on the sms.
* Custom Vibration pattern support for sms messages (through the menu)
* Vibration is defined from the Central System Settings and NOT the Messaging app anymore. (The original cyanogen vibrates according the application settings even if Vibration on System Settings is disabled)
* General Vibration Setting On/Off (only if central system vibration is on)
* Vibrate on Call (Only if Central Vibration AND Messaging Vibration are enabled)
* It does not convert SMS Messages to MMS when typing more than 3 sms's.
* Delivery reports and toast messages work on MMS messages as well.
* Bigger SMS Box when typing for less scrolling. This will take up as much as possible from the screen, growing when new lines are added so you don'nt have to scroll to see the sms. I 've set a maximum of 21 lines of expansion (this is roughly 3 sms in portrait).
* Pending status icon when message is pending.
* MyAvatar on top Conversation list
* Option to find Avatar Contact from specific Phone Number/Email (default is e-mail "[email protected]")
* Transparent skinned 2 style (white/black) conversations.
* Smaller timestamp fonts (relative to message font which can be set on options)
* Nicer emoticons and status icons
* Option to disable smilee key on keyboard.
* Option to hide all Avatars from Conversations
ChangeLog
* Changed Message Font Size to also change the Conversation List font size
Changelog:
* Changed default font size to 16 (18 is too big!)
* Fixed but to allow sending blank sms (you can now send an empty message with 1 space. (Send was disabled before).
ChangeLog 08/06/2012:
* Fixed bug to remove duplicate contacts when composing
* Fixed bug to find and add the correct contact names when typing numbers
* Added recipient Editor with checkboxes in seperate window to add remove Contacts without typing
Changelog 10/06/2012
* Added option to disable bubblechat and use older style
* Fixed bug when using original timestamps and sms replies are out of sync with server time
ChangeLog 17/06/2012
* ICS compatible Version!
* Added option to blink led for Messages
* Added Options to blink led, sound notification, show taskbar icon on Delivery Notifications.
Changelog 18/06/2012
* Delivery Report Notification Led option bugfix.
Changelog 19/06/2012
* Fixed Led notification problems
* Added avatars on MessageList (bubbles or not)
* Added seperate option for avatars on MessageList
* Fixed Message list layouts to increase bubble size
Latest version from here (Gingerbread AND ICS unified version)
com.lousou.mms_bubbles10.apk
Instructions:
- You can install this as a normal application although it will fail in some cases. You have to disable all notifications from any other Messaging application installed on your phone ( And the stock one installed ). It would be best to remove the stock Messaging Application using Root Uninstaller (Free from Market)
I have not tested on ICS but bug mentioned is that id does not find the Contact Names. I will build another version for ics, probably based on the latest Cyanogenmod Messaging for ICS.
If you like my work please
Screenshots Bubble version:
Great work my friend Well done Exactly what i was missing from the stock messaging application I have sent you a donation in order to show you my appreciation
Can you reupload somewhere or attach it here?
CLICK HERE for a quick IQ test
Looks promising,will download it and tell you later how it goes.
Thanks
I am thinking of addung sometging like sms popup with a choise and porting it to ICS.
Wow sounds good but cannot install it even if I uninstall the stock app with titanium. I'm on ics. Any idea? Any way to make a flashable zip? Thanks anyway!
Edit: ok I managed to install your version. Seems to be working. Only one strange thing, it does not fetch the names from the contacts for the threads, so there are only numbers and no contact names... And having the ics style would be great!

Yes I have noticed this bug in fetching Contacts, it is only happening in ics, it works fine on gingerbread. I will compile it for ice this week as well

You have to uninstall your current system messaging app with root uninstaller (keep backup) then it is regular install. I will fix that as well soon
[EDIT]
I have updated the first post. The new version can be installed as a normal application without having to remove the internal stock.
You should disable the notifications from the stock Messaging app if you choose not to install it.

ok so it still tries to install as system,I have to look into that again,I want to be able to install it as normal.
dear friend I will have to make a test.version for you to try. please be patient.
the above is based on 2.3.4 cyanogenmod. I will work on adding bubble style as well.
i will reupload on mediafire tomorrow with newer version for testing.
[EDIT]
Character key conversion mapping is shown below. According to your Turkish alfabet I think your special letters are included. Did you try it?
Code:
input: "αβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρσςτυφχψωάέήίόύώϊϋΐΰΑΒΕΖΗΙΚΜΝΟΡΤΥΧΆΈΉΊΌΏΪΫŰűŐőąćęłńśźżĄĆĘŁŃŚŹŻÀÂÃÈÊÌÎÒÕÙÛâãêîõúûçěščřžďťňáíéóýůĚŠČŘŽĎŤŇÁÉÍÓÝÚŮŕĺľôŔĹĽÔÏïëËñÑĐđ";

I do not own this software and did not make this application, I follow his twitter and watch for the latest beta for android and upload it here for you guys to try out.
LATEST BETA [November 27, 2016]:
DOWNLOAD LATEST NINTYPE: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.jormy.sixtynine
This will be alpha only until 2018 as Jormy still has some work to do with the algorithm, amongst other things on android
Features:
two-handed tap/slide hybrid input
shortcut system
customizable themes
Devices that I tested it on: Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) Canadian model, Samsung Galaxy Tab S (8.4), Galaxy S3 i9300, Galaxy tab 4 (7.0), LG G4, Galaxy S7, Sony Xperia Z3, Galaxy A5

Have fun typing. It will be frustrating in the beginning but it's really worth it. Stick with it for a day or two and you will get a hang of it, you will learn fast that's what makes this keyboard brilliant. Once you learn how to type on it, Swiftkey, Google Keyboard, A.I. Type, Fleksy, Swype, Touchpal X, and even your computer keyboard won't compare to the speeds you can reach on this keyboard.
If the dev updates the beta I will post the updated link here

Looks good

i looked as well and i cant seem to find it either, sorry i didnt mention it before. maybe the next beta will have this option. if i do find out how, i will be sure to post it
Playing with it today.
I can't find a sound off option either.
Emoji-anything crashes the keyboard (no error, the keyboard just goes away for a minute).
Shortcut swiping is giving me a head-ache. Going to look for youtube video shortly.
Is there basic macro/shortcuts (ie, if I do "t " it expands to "the" ?)
I somehow messed up my topbar - it only shows the last words I typed, can't seem to go back to suggestions.
No clue on the slide-up flicking thing.
In settings, back pushes out of settings instead of back 1 menu (pita when trying to go through all the menus)
...BUT
For an early work, especially when he is concentrating on iOS - this is very, very promising!
i dont know about the basic macro/shortcuts i dont really use them. to reset your topbar i looked around the app but i guess the fastest thing to do is to reinstall the app. the flicking up thig u mentioned i think is the word selection after you type a word flick up from the spacebar to see other words you might have wanted to type intead of the one the keyboard displays. and yeah, the back in the menu pisses me of a lot.
I also agree. pretty well done for a beta. keyboard works for the most part.

Dev responded to me on twitter - no way to turn off noise at the moment. Says new version may come out in a few days.
If you are rooted, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-settings-v1-9-2014-05-14-t2437377 can turn off the sound of the app.

Thank you so much! Recently switched from iOS to android and it's one of the things that I miss a lot. Hopefully, the developer will pick up his work on the keyboard

How's the new beta working for you? I have more problems with the sound. Jormy said he will start working on android version in the nearest future
Still loving the beta. Wondering when I'll be able to throw some money at a Play Store version.
