Tried SwiftKey?

As far as I know, there aren't any options in Swype to properly customise the theme yet. People used to make apk with custom themes for it but I think Swype has disallowed that since the app went retail. Unfortunately you are stuck with the default ones right now.

Working great for me on 2.1 Darch Legend V.5.
You need to install the .apk, then go into settings >> keyboard >> enable swiftkey
Next you need to go into swiftkey settings and download a language pack.
After all that, long press on a text entry box and select SwiftText.
So far it is pretty great at predicting what I am about to type in 2 letters or so. I love Swype..but I am willing to give this a try for awhile.

I have not had any problems using it on DamageRegaw ROM. I think I downloaded straight to phone from the email link I received and then just installed using ES file explorer.
I hope that helps. Word prediction on this keyboard is interesting.

Look in settings >> language and keyboard >> and then under the sub-heading "Text Settings" there is a selection box next to the name "Swift Key". This is the same menu that you get into the Swift Key settings at (the check box is not within the Swift Key settings).

Keyboard that tries to predict what you are going to type. I like it better than the stock keyboard, but I am much faster on Swype.
so it's an add on? and what's swype?

thats just it there is no box to enable it. nor is there one for the stock android one or the htc keyboard. they are all lined up but no enable. tried to reset after i installed and phone locked up so dont think it will work on dc v2 or maybe its just the damagetrev im running which is a faster version of dc v2
Eh, its better then stock, but once you try swype, its hard to type with anything else. If only swype had the voice thing like stock android, that would be awesome
OMFG!!! that looks awesome. so here's the question, if i want it how hard is it to try and then if i don't like it how hard to get rid of it?

I'm faster with Swype than a physical keyboard. I have installed it for two G1 owners recently after they got a hold of my phone.
No problems with darchlegendv5 I tested by just pushing space and if typed this " up to the business of Parity shall be liable for the use of the individual or entity to which it is a bit of a man they are trying to trace in connection with the word. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person." Exactly what I wanted to type. Crazy smart keyboard, but I think it's pretty nice thus far just a little slow.

[REQ] HTC HD Mini Keyboard

Hi everyone,
I'm locking for the keyboard that is on the stock HTC HD Mini Rom. HTC made an update of the keyboard and i'm very interested in the keyboard in the HTC HD Mini for my HTC HD2. If anyone can help me to found a cab for installing it, it would be great !
Thank you for your support,
Lorhdak.
What is different from the hd2 keyboard ?
Much more precise and bigger because there is no more the arrow at the bottom.

Or you can go for Nikoan89 ezinput 2.1. Thats the older version of the kb for devices with smaller screens. Its rather cool and the arrowz can be activated when needed..

Yeah I tried that but it seems to break my HTC messaging, had to uninstall it. I would like a keyboard without the arrows though, especially in landscape.
Swype doesn't have the arrows, and it can be used just like the stock one, OR you can actually "swype" each key like your supposed too
How to use Swype like the stock one ? When we don't swype and type fast it swype everything lol^^

Swype is a pain in the arse to use if you're not "swpying" each word

I agree thats why I really dont like bothering with Swype personally and stick with the stock HTC and the good predictive Text.

I remember this keyboard and trying it with my Touch Pro2 and haven't bothered even trying with the HD2 because I love the HTC Messaging Client. I do however love the arrows on the keyboard but would like the option to disable them when wanted and it would be really nice to see the option to minimize it easily like Android.
As far as the HD Mini, I would love to see the Notification Bar/ Screen ported for us because it has the task manger built into it as well and I would love to see that as well as the plain black theme for 6.5.X.

[App] HTC_IME Mod v27 for EVO

So I flashed Flipz Rom, and fell in love with the HTC_ime keyboard mod that doesnt include the arrows that the stock HTC keyboard does... I flashed Damagecontrol and it didn't include it, so I went hunting for it and found it in the N1 forums.
-No arrows to get in your way like the stock keyboard
-Very customizable

Direct Download for the HTC_Ime for the EVO

installed, works. thanks!
Do you need to be rooted? For this mod to work? I'm on unrooted stock Rom.. installed it but the arrow keys are still intact.

Its not a mod. Its a whole different keyboard. You have to activate it in the settings and then long press on any text field and change it from Touch Input to this.
Thanks... finally got it to work. I totally forgot to long press
@Auramaster, great find... Thanks
Anytime guys, just trying to help the Evo community
Oh my,......this is much better,....thank you!!
With all these options is hard not to get overwhelmed and lost,....does anyone know if there are color options?

It is awesome. I have made several themes from the browser on my EVE and downloading them directly to the storage card and installed.

Tap uninstall and then go back and Install it. I believe this removes the older version of HTC_IME then you install the skin version

So does it make the other buttons grow a lil or they are the same size, but the directional buttons are just gone.
If I rename the file and keep the same extension will it load up ok? It should right?
tried this but don't like it.. eventhough it removed the arrow keys, but it's missing the "hide keyboard" key. I use that often when typing in username password on websites that are zoomed in..
^ Hitting back removes the keyboard if it's up. Just saying, so no need for the keyboard drop down button.
I simply assigned swipe-down gesture to hide the keyboard. Convenient.

Where did this come from? Interesting....
From the DroidX
How is it compared to Smart Keyboard Pro or Better Keyboard?
my two requests for it are for someone to fig out how it to use the stock dictionary and get vibrate to work! then this would be best keyboard ever.
What is the major benefit to a multi-touch keyboard? Can it actually keep up with my crazy quick typing now?
Would be perfect with working haptic feedback.
yup that is all it needs.
personally, i don't like the haptic feedback....multi touch will be awesome however
It already is multi touch.

some of the option text and ampersand seems to be in html encoded form. After you write and highlite a previous word sometimes it shows suggestions. That's my thoughts for the time being, any other apks op?

i know this..i'm saying it will be awesome once installed !
I have to be rooted to install this, correct?
ugh, it still does the smart keyboard pro thing where it won't register the first letter if you release it at the same time as the next key is pressed.. anybody else know what i mean?
Agree with the dictionary suggestion.. not crazy about the size of the letters or the combo. /, button next to the space bar. I'll try it out for a bit and see how it goes. Seems pretty good otherwise and multitouch works as it should. Thanks op for posting this.

Ohhh ok gotcha!! Bit outta my knowledge.
Yeah i would like to do some design changes myself but don't know how to access the UI to make the changes.

Samsung only gives access for the theme software to themers and the application process is a bit finnicky and you require a portfolio for them to look through. Maybe a different texting program? i personally use textra. Chomp SMS also has some theming capabilities
