I've searched throughout XDA and can't seem to find a keyboard that I can install that brings back my beloved T9! Searching the market brings up little as well.
I just recently got CM6.1 + Kernel #43 (+ various other things) but before this i was still using MoDaCo's 1.5 ROM and although I love [almost] EVERYTHING about CM6 - I can't find a way to get the dial-pad keyboard with T9 for texting. I'm assuming it doesn't exist.
I just want to know what keyboard is good and simple and includes a T9 dialpad-style keyboard for portrait view. Preferably free... but not required.
Some keyboards I've heard of, but no verification of T9:
Smart Keyboard Pro
Swift Key
SWYPE

See my HTC IME thread Has compact QWERTY and T9 modes
THANKYOU!
This is fantastic!
EXACTLY what I was looking for. I can type extremely fast now (even in the car... shhhh) and at first, I was glad to have to T9 back but the keyboard itself looked a bit goofy. Then I saw the 'AOSP generic look'; it is perfect.
Thanks so much!
Follow up
Ok - I had to follow up on this again after using the keyboard for a few days. I don't think I did it much justice.
This keyboard is incredible. Not only is it simple looking (although you can apply other themes if you wish), the customizability (is that a word?) is insane. I spent forever just going through and playing with all the settings. Sometime it takes a while since you have to kill the keyboard and wait a second for it to come back in a typing app to test it, then go back to the settings menu, tweak, rinse & repeat.
I was thrilled to see that there are custom smiles because when I do use the smilies, which isn't often, I don't like them to have the 'dash' noses (ex. ) I prefer the simple but maybe I'm just really picky. Having the customizable smilies is awesome. You could even just replace them with anything you use often. One downside however is if you add too many, they'll just run off the screen and you'll not have access to them.
The custom swipes is a nice feature as well. When you swipe along the keyboard in one of four directions, you can assign custom functions. I have my 'swipe-up' set to 'Shift' so I can get capital letters quickly. I know it doesn't seem quicker than pressing the shift key but it is for me. It just feels more natural too when I'm texting or emailing. You can even set a swipe to change languages , I think this would make multi linqual people very satisfied. Type BOOM Tipo BOOM 类型 BOOM Тип.
There are many other settings including the organization of buttons, word prediction and spelling settings, and much more. You can even save and restore settings!
Best of all... it's FREE!
Edit: Thanks again!

So the wife can't live without her stock HTC keyboard. I'm going to flash AOSP's CM7 build for her, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a plain old stock HTC ime that will work with GB and specifically this ROM? Thanks.
Update may 23: The beta is now closed. Thank you all for your participation and feedback. Please keep your suggestions coming. Suggestions and requests are welcome in the Thumb Keyboard thread in the paid-for app forum here on xda (link will follow)
--------------------------------
New beta 4:
Customizable toolbar. The toolbar can be switch on or off with a simple toggle. For phones as well as for tablet (Gingerbread and Honeycomb have more functions to assign to the toolbar keys)
New small keyboard for one handed operation on a 10" tablet. It also contains a "blind spot" which you can use to hold your tablet.
------
Thrilled to announce a brand new version of Thumb Keyboard.
It's a total rebuild from scratch of the current market version, therefore I decided to launch it first as a public beta.
Besides a whole new core that is optimized for Gingerbread and Honeycomb, the new version (v. 4.0) introduces a whole lot of new features:
multi-touch
Correct previous written words with suggestions
Shortcuts - store and edit much written phrases, mail signatures, logins and insert them with a simple tap
New addition to the prediction algorithm: predict a word based on a previous word
New: resize the width of the letter keys on the split layouts. With the option to adjust the height, one can now adjust the keyboard completely to ones own hands and device!!
Alternative suggestions for voice input. Just tap on the recognized word to see the alternatives
Redesign of the keyboard based on multi-touch chording. Entering numbers and operating the cursor keys was never more easy!
New style popup keyboards. Fling, slide and wipe and back to typing again ..
New design of the keyboard layout. Easier access of much used keys
Better esthetic integration with Honeycomb by the use of Honeycomb style windows
and more (and still more to come
The beta can be downloaded from thumb4beta.blogspot.com
(Because the beta was already out for some weeks for 10.1" tablets, some may wonder why this separate announcement. The reason is that the current version will support all screen sizes and layouts, just like the current market version. This means a lot more devices to be supported and a lot more test cases)
Looking forward to your feedback, suggestions, comments, bug reports (hope none ) etc.
-----
Update (May 3):
Version 4 beta 3.2: added Custom portrait/landscape layout combination * Smiley popup keyboards now on all layouts * new theme "digital red" * custom keyclick sounds * better dictionaries * 12 extra shorcut or quicktext slots * Return key in instant messaging apps * option to exclude contact database from predictions * some bug fixes
Awesome! Big fan of your work. We've talked via email about the keyboard. I still use it. Downloading now.

Thought I've send you mail too. Let me know what you think about it.
Personally I think this is a BIG improvement over the version over the version on the Market. One of the things I liked about the stock GB keyboard was you could tap previously entered words and change what was entered. Love seeing that in here.
The only thing I don't see is being able to set different layouts for portrait and landscape. Being a phone user, I like that the hide keyboard button is hidden.
Big speed improvements as well. Great job!
Thanks going to give this a try!

Thanks! The ability to set different layouts for landscape and portrait mode will certainly come back. It's one of the core functioneren of this keyboard. I left it out just to have something to do while the beta is tested
If you are on Gingerbread or Honeycomb you should try out the bigram predictions (only English supported right now). It will predict in many cases the next word with the previous word and just one letter. For example if you type "of" and then the letter t you get a bunch of relevant words starting with a t and that makes sense as the next word after "of". Great feature for phones. (It will also learn from word pairs that are entered a lot)

Nice, I'm loving it so far, I've been waiting for something that actually *KNOWS* what you want type next and learns other than swiftkey. The only thing I ask you, is please give us the option to enlarge the spacebar by removing the smile faces, comma, and or period key.
Thank you, and how else besides the blog and this thread can I keep up with the latest beta releases?

Will look into that.
The beta releases are all published on http://thumb4beta.blogspot.com
You can subscribe to that blog to get a notification when a change is made.
I've had a lot of downloads and yet no single bug report. I like to think that the keyboard is completely bug free, but that would be wishful thinking in the context of this giant project.
Any bugs? Please report them here or on the beta site.
I have found what I like to think is a bug.
Say I want to enter todays date. I long press the q for the number 1, the I select the "/" from the upper row and then I long press the t for the number 5. So far so good.
Now I want to enter a different date, like 29/5. I long press to get a 2, the I long press to get a 9. Now the upper bar is empty, and I can't select the "/" there
Another bug: I can't long press the p key to get a 0. All the other keys work.
And a little warning to Desire/Nexus One owners, if you long press the ?123 button while selecting a button on the lower row on the keyboard ( ! " ' : ; / ?), it will probably not work that well. It has to to do with the multitouch on those devices.It has to to with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhBRMaUn6Ig
If you want I can make a video showing all of these problems.
what about Portuguese - PT? Any plans on implement it?
very nice thank you nice sharing

I'm able to hold P to get 0. Using the standard layout.
After fiddling around with the different keyboards I got it to work too. After uninstalling and reinstalling however, it stopped working again.
EDIT: I found the problem, if I enable "long press for numbers and syn.." I can long-press P to get 0. If I disable it however it won't work.

Thank god a bug You are right, the standard-layout doesn't have a popup menu defined. Thanks for noticing. Will fix it asap.
Glad you sorted the other problem out. I couldn't reproduce it. In some cases the keyboard can act not as expected after a fresh install. In that case a simple, infamous reboot will fix the problem. (Seems like a general Android problem)
Hello ! I found a little bug : when you select azerty layout ... it shows on qwerty

Hy,this beta have the italian language?
This might be old news but just chose to share anyway
I have an evo with a novatec screen, love using a custom kernel, and also really like sense and perfectly working 4g. so ginderbread really wouldn't play nice with me. The one thing I wanted on gingerbread was the keyboard and more importantly the text selecting.
Just found out that we have all had this feature this whole time with froyo.... At least with swype.
See photos below
While texting or typing you swype the button with the hand and finger in it from left to right(to the SYM) button to pull up the selection keyboard with a dpad
See screenshot below
Also when in the browser hold down the menu key this would bring up the keyboard then bring up the selection keyboard to jump thru the links
Once again I am sure this is old news but hopes this helps anyone that didn't know this and were having issues placing the text cursor before the first letter on a text message or notepad
Old news, yes but your intent was pure so I bestow you with a thanks
Edit: your first one apparently lol.
yeah man I really don't post much, was much more involved in discussion with old winmo devices then deployed switched to sonyericssons for 2 years forgot my account info the set up a new one after i came back... this website has come a long way tho.
Major Swype update released yesterday.
http://beta.swype.com
You need to already be a beta tester.
I'm thrilled that they no longer automatically add words to the dictionary. That was my biggest complaint.
SwypeInc is pleased to announce the BETA release of the latest version of Swype!
With this version come two major new features, and several minor changes, bringing Swype support to more devices, and more stability for existing devices
Tap Correction - In v3 of Swype, we're introducing full tap correction functionality. Having trouble getting the hang of Swype and just want to tap for a little while? Prefer to tap out some words while Swyping others? No need to switch keyboards! Swype's powerful tap prediction and correction engine is based on many of the same principles that make Swyping so effective. We emphasize speed over accuracy, so tap away with reckless abandon and Swype will still make sure you're getting the words you want.
Automatic tap correction is enabled by default, but you can control exactly how it behaves through the new "Word Suggestion" category in Swype's settings screen. Simply long-press the Swype key, choose "Options" and then go to "Word Suggestion." You'll be able to set whether corrections happen automatically, whether Swype shows the actual tapped characters or the first suggestion in the active text field, and whether to show word suggestions at all.
Horizontal Word Choice List (HWCL) - While the pop-up Word Choice Window served us well for a long time, we have decided to utilize Android's built-in horizontal word choice list functionality, bringing us in line with evolving input standards.
Now, when you tap or Swype a word, suggestions will be displayed in a scrollable horizontal list above the keyboard. This has several major advantages:
No matter what happens, when you Swype something, a word will always be entered into the active text field.
We're able to display more suggestions at a time.
When you tap out a word, the characters you actually tapped - regardless of predictions - will appear at the beginning of the suggestion list.
Choosing to use a word you tapped in when it's not in our dictionary will offer an option to add that word to your dictionary via the HWCL; no more automatically adding misspelled words to the dictionary.
Honeycomb support - With v3 of Swype, we're now able to support tablets running Android Honeycomb with a customized layout and some awesome new features! The most noticable feature will be the "movable keyboard." With Swype active, press the "keyboard size" button in the lower-right corner. This will shrink the Swype keyboard to a size that's more conducive to Swyping, and allow you to tap-and-drag on the sides of the keyboard to move Swype to the center of the screen, the bottom left, or bottom right corner. It's excellent for people who want a one-handed thumb-swyping experience on their tablet, and for moving the keyboard out of the way when it's blocking something in the app you're using!
Extended device support - We've improved our licensing system in several ways, including the addition of support for devices that don't have a cellular plan. Bought a WiFi only Motorola Xoom? Now you can download the Swype BETA too! The new licensing scheme will work on any device that was SHIPPED with Android 2.3 or above, though older devices may work as well.
In addition to our licensing changes including better support for a wider range of devices, we've also fixed two pesky licensing bugs that many of you have complained about:
Swype will no longer fail to license after rebooting, with the error "Swype is configured for another device." This issue was due to a feature of new phones called "quickboot" and has been resolved.
On CDMA devices, Swype was unable to authorize its license when the device was in Airplane Mode. Now, if Swype detects that your device is in Airplane Mode, things will continue running as they should.
These changes are in addition to a wide array of minor compatibility updates, bug fixes, behavior changes, and feature updates. Swype v3 is a major milestone for us and we're proud to provide our BETA users with a first look at the work we've been doing on Swype over the past several months. We look forward to hearing your feedback on our forums, and hope you enjoy this powerful new version of Swype!
So, it says that it wont work if we already have Swype preinstalled with the phone. Does this matter if we we're rooted? I suppose I could remove the original Swype but has anyone tried installing this with Swype already installed?
just tried it out, it is much better for typing one letter at a time now which was my main issue with it
Just tried out. Looks much more better, wonder when will the release version come out after 18months
Just downloaded and installed. Seems to be working well. And it's quite easy to type on it too.
Oh, and you don't need to be a beta tester already. I signed up with a new account.

I do agree with the others that it's greatly improved. Tapping is much easier now.
As far as your question, yes, it should be possible to install this on a phone where swype is pre-installed.
This is what I did on my Droid X. Please research and see if this method is compatible with other phones before you attempt it. Proceed at your own risk.
Must be rooted.
Make your default keyboard something other than sywpe.
Go into applications and do a force close, clear cache, clear data on Swype. (I think this step is very important. I skipped it the first time and got force closes after I installed the new swype).
Rename \system\app\swype.apk to swype.apk.bak
Rename \data\dalvik-cache\[email protected]@[email protected] to [email protected]@[email protected]
Rename \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so to libSwypeCore.so.bak
Reboot
Install Swype Installer and follow the directions
If you ever want stock swype back, unistall swype app, uninstall swype installer, reboot and then rename the 3 files back.
After installing this beta, I can no longer switch to other keyboards. No matter which one I select, swype always resets itself as the default keyboard.
FYI. You have to uninstall v2.x before installing v3, otherwise it just stays version 2.x. You're also supposed to uninstall Swype Installer, but I didn't find that to be necessary.

I wish the suggestion bar was kept open... like how the default android does. Because the poping up and down gets to you after a while. Maybe I type too slow haha.

I came here with exactly the same complaint, haha. I hate how the text box keeps jumping around, it makes it harder to keep an eye on what you're typing
Otherwise, I'm loving the new beta. Switched to the Swiftkey beta a few months ago but Swype now doesn't type 'buys' every time I swype 'bus' so I might switch back

I did just fine removing just swype. I ran the installer and it looked for and downloaded the new version.
The only thing that annoys the hell out of me is how the cursor automatically goes to the end of the word instead of where you tap for it to go.
yea you can uninstall/reinstall if you have the 2.x beta :x..
Loving this new one.. the word list isn't as intrusive although word suggestions auto replacing what I wrote takes some getting used to.
Loving the new swype.
Don't forget to skin it

MUCH better.
I'd stopped using swype just last week, and switched to slideIT demo to see how that was. Was actually quite good, except for how difficult it was to use punctuation keys. Swype's implementation of that is very good.
My biggest problem with swype was that stupid annoying pop up screen saying something about a hidden word.
I'm not sure if Swype does this, but I certainly don't think it did before, was suggest words based on how often you use them.
But yes, overall very happy now.
Also at the end of my SMS, if i type for example "330" and click send... it seems to type 330 and leave it there for the next message to send again... not sure if I explained that well.
For example "meet you at 330" > Send (without clicking the suggestion for 330 on the bar.. just using what you typed that came up"
then it will have 330 there for the next message, which i then have to delete
Doesn't seem to happen every time, but it's happend enough, and seems to be mainly on words/numbers not in the dictionary

Yeah I know what you mean. When you press and hold to insert characters at the end of your message, for some reason it leaves those characters there even after you sent your message.

Can anyone tell me if Swype works with the Thunderbolt? Tried it a few months ago and it didn't. Can't find anything about update saying it supports it.
If you install the Google Keyboard, type a word and get the three suggested words up, then long-press on the middle word to get the extended list of suggested words up, do you get a few lines of words with a horrible choice of colours? Because I do. It would be a lot more pleasant were it a single colour background and a single text colour on top of that.
I've used Google Keyboard on Moto G and S3, Never had to long press any word to get more suggestions as my vocabulary is fairly simple.
However, I've just checked what you've mentioned, and I should say that it indeed is horrible. I'm not sure that I remember it correctly, but Moto G had nothing of this sort (or did it?).
I think we should put up with this issue until the next release, which will have a different keyboard altogether.
Just received a release with new Material Design UI from Google.
still the same issue..

Yeah, the words get bolder towards the right and still with lines in between. On Lollipop (nexus 10) it's fine, so it's just the Z3 then, not the OS.

No, I see this as a Sony bug. The same Google keyboard is fine on the S3 regardless of ROM, and Nexus 10 running stock lollipop. I never faff around with themes or anything so perhaps that'll change it, but themes never seem to change very much apart from the wallpaper and icons; maybe there's a theme that changes the suggested word colours. I'm sure you can change it on a rooted phone, but sadly that seems to be some way off on the Z3.
