HTC_IME for Nexus One [Pixelated Version]

http://drop.io/p12auxn#
I'm not 100% sure this is it since I don't have my Nexus One yet so I need someone willing to test.
I found it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFh9RKsN6w&feature=player_embedded

This is the same one that's pixelated on the Nexus One. Also, doesn't stretch the full screen in landscape mode.

It is still the pixelated version. That wouldn't even bother me that much if the correction bar on the top fit on the screen and wasn't horribly warped.

Damn sorry then. The one in the video looks good though.

do you need to be rooted for this? Because I tried it using an appinstaller. It shows up in the clicker, but when I create new messages, it reverts back to the stock google keyboard.

You have to go into the settings and enable it, then when you're in a message box click the box and hold, then select "input method". You can alternate between the 2.

haha ya i forgot to do the "hold" part in the message box. thanks!
pixelated...but at least i don't have to switch back n forth for numbers and punctuations. can't wait for the non-pixelated version w/ microphone key =)

We'll need a high-res 2.1 SenseUI device to come out - probably need to wait for a Bravo leak.

Yep, works fine on N1 running MCR1.1 but pixelated. Will have to live with that for a while as it still beats the hell out of the standard Android keyboard...

Is the file linked from youtube the same as this file?

So I emailed HTC to find out if they will update the htc_ime.apk so that it will work on the nexus or look properly I should say. I am currently waiting for a response... let you guys know when I get a reply. I will post it.

Ha good luck with that. They won't update it until they release a phone with the Hi-Res Sense UI.
Most likely we'll have to wait until a bravo dump is leaked or another sense UI device w/ a hi res screen's dump is leaked.

I'm running HTC_IME on the N1.... its great to have it back, only complaint is the lack of the dedicated 'microphone' key thats in the default keyboard... so AFAIK once you install HTC_IME you can NOT dictate text messages and the like

Does anyone know how to edit the dictionary for htc ime?

I don't know about editing words but you can erase it by going into your settings > applications > keyboard > clear data.

I installed this and it works great but my only issue-request would be to add more languages. The option is there, when you go to settings from inside the keyboard, but unfortunately, only english is available.
In the past, people have made language packs...could someone do on for this? pleeeeeeeease?
Thanks,
Lou

I used to change com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml file to enable dual language on my htc ime. I was wondering if this can be changed in the apk before installing. I dont want to root my nexus.
Thanks

Anyone have any idea what that task killer widget is he uses in the video? Basically its sitting on the homescreen and kills the tasks with one click, no need to open an app...

Question about Nexus S keyboard

Hi,
When you press the SEARCH key, and typing in the text field ...
Does the keyboard give you text prediction?
And also when you search in the Market app ...
If not, is possible to enable text prediction on all input fields?
Thanks.

Negative on the text prediction for search. I get text prediction in the form of app suggestions on the market, but I don't know if that's quite what you're looking for.
As far as enabling it, I have no idea. I don't recall if any of my past Android devices did text prediction on search. :/

Take a look at SwiftKey. Text prediction is one of the reasons that my wife and I moved to it. We like this keyboard much better than stock, for us it was well worth the money.

This is common for several fields in several different apps. I work for Swype, so I've seen this myself, but since our keyboard doesn't typically work this way it's only been a curiosity for me. I believe it is considered a "feature" since you might want to explicitly type something else other than what prediction guesses. If you want to give Swype a try, the beta is currently open at: http://beta.swype.com/

Hi there,
Thanks for your info. I still find it odd, to not have this common behavior on all input fields.
Heck, the old HTC_IME hack on HTC Desire works pretty well with all the options to have prediction in all kind of input fields (thanks to the modder, jonasl). I still have this on my signature below.
But recently, I like the new Nexus S keyboard. It look slick, easy to type. But yeah, I missed some of the HTC_IME improvements, like SMILEY button!
As for SWYPE, granted, it is a very nice keyboard. But, I don't use ENGLISH that much I am using south-east asian language which is not supported
So, I am afraid that it does not offer much advantage.

The built in Gingerbread keyboard does have a smiley button. It's a "smart" keyboard, it knows what you're doing and shows you the appropriate keys/features/functions.
Go write a txt message, and you'll see a smiley key on the bottom right.

They should've taken out the period and extended the space bar. Its very frustrating when I'm trying to type fast. IPhone still had the best touch keyboard available

Thanks, I did not know that.
Obviously because I am using Nexus S keyboard on my HTC Desire! Probably it does not work fully as designed (I did not see that smiley button).
But, does that smiley button also appear when you type in EMAIL or TEXT AREA like replying to forum like this using the web browser?
Or when typing comments on Facebook app! That would be very nice.

[Q] goggle chrome beta add to homescreen

This morning I have noticed on my s4 and n7 the menu option for add to home screen has disappeared from both devices.
Why would this be? I loved this feature.
Version 31.0.1650.60 on both devices.
The option has completely gone.
Any help?

Any idea why add to home screen has disappeared?
When I press on pages I have already saved it says "app is not installed"

Google / Chrome devs acknowledge this, and say the feature will be back. Really annoying, as we factored it into a solution - i.e., build a proof of concept as a web app, and run it in fullscreen app mode on the phone and tablets. Incredibly disappointing that they handled it this way. There's also an experimental flag you can set to supposedly re-enable it (type Chrome://flags in URL bar, and scroll down till you see the option to enable it). Seems to work on ICS, but not on JB or KK (at least on my devices). Horribly disappointed.

Thanks for the help, but no success.. This was one of my most anticipated features going into release. Especially because of the fullscreen mode... Where am I left with this? Removing GEL? Will this be available again sooner rather than later?
Thanks.

Wish I knew. It was a mistake relying on a beta feature, but this was so good that we already adopted it for use in a product mockup / wireframe demo. Looked perfect on Android phones and tablets in Chrome...A real web app. Now...not so much.

Google Keyboard - settings more like AOSP/Android Keyboard

I find the Google Keyboard maddening. Always requiring mode flipping between keyboard character sets. The AOSP/Android Keyboard has a ton of punctuation readily available by long keypresses which is really convenient.
Am I missing some setting on the Google Keyboard that makes it perform the same way? Having to press three keys in a row to get something besides a letter every time is crazy.
Or does Google just think people type "omg lol cu" all the time? I mean, obviously not given the crazy and incredibly rare word suggestions it makes. (Which incidentally is another peeve!)
Do I have to side load the AOSP keyboard? Wish it was on the Play Store!

I came here to ask this exact question. One post I found suggested that you can swipe from the shift key to the punctuation you want, which is a bit better than {tap shift, tap ?}, for example, but it does seem silly to me to hide so much important punctuation behind another "page" of buttons. Considering loading AOSP as well...

I don't know if you already have, but you guys have got to check out SwiftKey. It's my second most important app.

I used SwiftKey *years* and years ago -- I think it must have been on *Donut* -- and while I liked the idea, when Swype came along I found it was just much faster for me. If SK now supports swipe-typing too, though.... well, that's tempting. I might just try it!

It sure does. I can actually keep up with my kids on Hangouts now. I tried pretty much all of the keyboards, and prefer SwiftKey.

Keyboard question?

Hi.
Is there an option to make keyboard with numerical above letters. I don't like to push and hold e.g. letter Q for number 1. Or to swith to numerical. I'd like to have both on one screen.
If there no such an option which keyboard do you recommend do download?

i recommend downloading Google keyboard

I have google keyboard but there are no such option.

Try swiftkey then

You can enable numbers row in Google keyboard. Follow this guide.

Not the best designed but still usable.

Unfortunately, there is no internal setting that allows for you to put your numbers at the top of your keyboard. We advise that you browse the Google Play Store for third-party options. (ED)

I recommend swiftkey.

I use Swype + Dragon and its a great keyboard, easily awitching from letters to numbers, bilingual usage and great theming. Or try something different as Fleksy for instance, also a great keyboard and you can set a numbers row in permanently.

It happens only under certain conditions, I think. I remember seeing it but cannot recall where.

Well, I have it always there, no matter what ROM I'm running

google keyboard,swiftkey both are good alternatives

I like G keyboard more
