Sense keyboard aweful - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Does anyone else notice how bad the sense keyboard is? The key detection is awful, there is delay on almost everything and it's plain ugly . Anybody have any recomendations?

I've actually always liked the Sense keyboard on this phone. To me, they got it right with Sense 4, where previous versions had awful keyboards. I don't have any problem with detection or lag.
I quite liked Swype on older Sense versions on my old Desire Z. Swiftkey seems pretty popular with XDA folks, also.

Sense keyboard got even better with jellybean. I find it faster than swiftkey. For some reason there is a slight lag to bring up swiftkey.
The thing that I hated most was the arrow keys, which they have fixed by giving us an option to have them on or not.

It works well, but I like the look of AOSP better, and the fact that it has quick reply

Lol, I stick with a sense based Rom mostly because I love the sense keyboard and arrows.. lol.. call me crazy I guess but for me there's a lot to like about sense.

Always hated the sense keyboard. Takes up half the screen!

They added the arrows in sense 4 so that when that stupid black menu bar pops up it covers up the arrows and doesn't move the keyboard up, that way we don't have to change the way we hold the phone when a menu button is required (that is, before they released the button remapping fix)

I was using thumb keyboard for months but got sick of some of its glitches. I used the HTC keyboard for a while and I really enjoyed it..first sense keyboard in 4 years that I've liked. Then I just installed the stock ICS keyboard and I'm super happy now
I was going to attach it to this post but I guess I can't from within the xda app...

S III Touchwiz

Been using the new touchwiz for S III all morning and I feel it is the smoothest launcher available for our phone. Just wish it was more customizable like Nova.

I thought sense was more than just a launcher? Does it take over any other aspects of the phone?

No. Just launcher and app tray. I miss the big htc clock.

He was saying no, as in touchwiz doesn't affect other aspects of the phone.

Same. Just not fond of the multitasking issue.
I actually really enjoy Sense as well. One of the reasons I bought the phone to be honest..

[Q] Sense 4 Launcher with more rows & columns?

My searches only brought back info on the EVO series of HTC. Is there a mod for the Sense 4 launcher to have more rows or columns?
Sent from my HTC One X
I too, would like to know this. I just jumped from a thunderbolt running cm7 and I loved how I could change the rows and columns and when I got this in was hoping I could, but no luck so far. So if someone has an answer, please speak up

I wish. I usually went 5 rows by 4 columns on CM7 on my past phones.
5 rows for me as well. It really messes with my zen thing that all my phones look/act roughly the same.
I'm really torn about moving over to CM9 or AOKP because I really love the HTC camera/video app and I don't want to lose out on what little multitasking I have by running another launcher over Sense.
Should I start a bounty or something?

any update of this? This would make sense a very usable launcher - this is the only reason that I am still using nova launcher instead of sense but I LOVE the transparent notification bar on sense.

If you use CleanROM DE you get sense plus nova launcher and aosp. You can change the grid size

Hi yes I understand I can use another launcher.
However I would like to use sense because of the following reasons:
-sense exclusive widgets
-transparent notification bar
And I cannot get that with another launcher.
I think sense is not a bad launcher if we can just add rows it would be perfect.
Thanks
Since I finally got a new HOX I can start on this. I have to find the files in the smali code to do it either today or tomorrow hopefully.

HTC keyboard without arrows ?

I'm running the latest trickdroid now, which is quite amazing by the way, and I would like to know if its possible to have the HTC keyboard without the arrows..and if possible without the voice icon..I find myself hitting it very often when I mean to type a symbol down below.
I don't wanna try another keyboard, swype used to be my favorite but Idk it seems different and a lot smaller now compared to my likings on this keyboard.
If you guys got any suggestions, I'd be happy to see what's up.
Thanks

Custom splash screen?

Just curious if anyone can tell me if we can do custom splash screens with the One x.? And if so, can you point me to a thread? It was pretty easy on the old Hero..

It does, long-press the key to the left of the space bar. But I do agree, some of the keyboard choices Swype has made are strange. Like the fact that there is no obvious way to insert a *. Actually there is but you have to long press one of the letters then select * from the menu. I have been using the free Swiftkey lately and am rather impressed. Swype may be on the way out for me.

Was giving you an easier alternative that many people prefer but whatever, go ahead and be a douche.
Just pull the app and push it to system, not that hard.
