I'm on t-mobile and really didn't want to give up my G1 until another Android phone was available with a hardware keyboard. However, I did just purchase the Nexus One (no plan... $80/month data was ridiculous) and was wondering if anyone has had any luck finding the CooTek TouchPal virtual keyboard?
I used to use it on my last (and only) WMo device and liked it. I know they released a beta in the android marketplace but stopped offering it because it was OEM software on the T-Mobile pulse and wasn't going to be re-released in the marketplace until after the launch of that phone.
Was hoping someone had an older copy that might be compatible w the N1.
I have 1.1.0. Not sure if that will work on the N1, but you're welcome to try it. PM me and I can send you a link.

Interesting. Thanks for that ... I'll definitely try it out.
Hi, I saw your post about TouchPal for android . Was wondering if I could get a link from u? I've been trying soo hard to find them for my n1. Appreciate it!!
It's available for me on the Singapore Android Market, searched for "touchpal" and it's the first of two options.
Yeah.. It's not as good as it was in WM, it lags a lot and has some quirkiness. I keep it installed to watch for updates.
I still type the fastest on the HTC IME..
This is an old thread. Hope you guys got on the swype beta. There's also swift key on the market.

It looks like my HTC keyboard is gone? I am using a very basic, I would think stock looking keyboard. How do I get the polished one back?
I use Smart Keyboard Pro and I use the white HTC keyboard. Well that one or the Samsung Galaxy S one (I loved it on my Vibrant). It also has the Android standard grey(ish) tint keyboard and iPhone as the 4 standard keyboards. you might want to check it out
*edit* oh I misunderstood your post I think. So are you talking about the Touch Input keyboard that comes installed already is missing??? That's the only polished one on there besides the Swype that comes standard. That dragon diction one is vile lol. If you lost one of the preinstalled keyboards I don't know what to say, sorry. I hope it gets resolved for you!
did a backup with titanium.. just found it. i can push it back on there now. good thing i backed up
Nope never mind. Can't get it back. Its htc touch input 2.0 or something. I can't get it back now. guess i'll never know until i can unroot and exchange device.
can anyone send me a link for the htc_ime that comes with the phone so i can get my keyboard back? apparently i didn't back up this file

I dont have the phone yet, just ordered it last night, but someone should be able to just adb pull it from their phone.
Edit: This isn't from the phone itself, but its working on my vibrant. Might work for you.
Just adb push /system/app
then reboot and it should be installed.
I just got mine today and I am hoping root (one click method) is made soon, I cant get adb on my machine.. but anways I too want my htc im keyboard back. I have used the link theinetnot posted, but I am not sure which version I am supposed to chose. Anyone know?

Try the one i posted.
So after doing the exchange rate the transformer in the uk comes out at 620usd so as im in the usa until the end of may im going to get one here before i leave the usa
Few quick question that im hoping people can answer..
1, does the charger have the usual 110 to 240v sticker on there?
2, if i cant key the keyboard addon over here im guessing the uk version of the keyboard would be the same?
3, can anyone think of any other compatability issues?
Cheers
Mike

1. I will answer this when i get home if nobody else has at that point
2. I cant imagine that they would be different, it would make no sense for them to retool the machines to make different tabs for different markets. If you have the language set correctly i dont see why it wouldnt work just fine. Come to think of it, im not even sure they differentiate(sp?) between us and uk english
3. nope, especially if you root when the method becomes available.

There are a few differences between UK and US keyboards, most notably the inclusion of the £ symbol on UK keyboards. I would imagine that these differences would be taken into consideration on the Eee Pads keyboard.
Regards,
Dave
only real problem i see for you OP, is that they've already sold out in the US :/a
Ive got until the end of may so a bit of time to find one
If i dont find one then so be it!
Good point about the keyboard but ill live with that.
Sticker says 100~240v

I checked with Asus Benelux earlier and dock and connection is generic so I can use a US-transformer in a dutch dock. I guess there's no reason why you couldn't with a uk-dock...
Is it just me or has better keyboard disappeared off the market? I had to reflash generic UK and root/go back up to 2.3.3, but when I restored with Titanium Backup, I got the unlocker for Better Keyboard but not the app itself.
Now I'm stuck in an odd position where I can't find it on the market for whatever reason. Can anyone else check their market and see if they can see Better Keyboard?
I cant find it either, just a lot of other better keyboard add ons there. Might be worth emailing the dev and asking about it, if not see if there is a back up apk somewhere
Found it, I assume the dev changed name:
Better Keyboard 8
Here's the old link Old Better Keyboard 8

Yeah that was very strange.. I knew that it was named Better Keyboard 8, but no results came up for me yesterday. I can find it now so all is well.
Thanks for checking.
Their developer account got busted for some weird reason google apparently saw valid. But i assume they are back in buisiness .

The dev got banned, started a new account and re-released it, then got banned again - looks like he's gone for good now!

Thankyou for the information. That's bad luck, it was easily the best keyboard for me.

I really like Ultra keyboard, does so much and is so customisable but needs a bit of an update - also you have to disable it to use the dpad/touch pads which is very annoying, I love swype and I love swiftkey, I just want them to merge together that would be the best keyboard!

I have Ultra currently, I like it I just haven't worked out how to add a smiley key to it, and it mucks up my colons (puctuation mark - not bodily organ ) every time I try to do one. It is good though.
On a related note, I must be the only person on Earth who doesn't enjoy Swype/Swiftkey at all! Everyone seems to rave about it, yet I can't stand it!
Bit of an update guys, apparently the Developer account was pulled for some dodgy skins in Open Home. They're not going to deal with Google again, but the apps should become available on Amazon App Store soon!
Better Keyboard moved to SlideMe

Yeah, found the betterandroid blog.. it's all in details there.
They put better keyboard in SlideMe, and I'm waiting for an answer on how to get new updates without having to pay for it again.
pwew. good thing I still have one

Sorry to summon gost of the past, but someone knows what happen with this keyboard?
I used all time but recentlt I plaing with roms and want instal it again.
Or maybe someone knows good keyboard with chunky buttons most of them got small and my big fingers always pushes wrong ones.
Thanks
Sorry to revive a year-old thread, but seeing as people who search for better keyboard will see this thread on google, the viable option for those still wanting to use it is to either install the Amazon store or find the better keyboard APK. Both can be found with a google search. "Better Keyboard APK" "Amazon app store APK" For those who dont know what an APK File is (Making this new-droid user friendly) you copy the APK file onto your device and select it with a file manager to install it.
Hi everyone,
On the french google store, the folio keyboard is not available any more.
Is it definitive ? The "button" saying unavailable is grey. Do you see it available in your country ?
I tried to ask the google support and they told me "well it's recent so check everyday, it should come back"... not very helpful.
Do you know if I can find it somewhere else ?
Anyone of you want to get rid of his ?
Thanks!
Available in Australia
available in the UK (I'm a little concerned by the OP username, though! EDIT: an honest mistake that's been sorted by the OP and responded to below. Bravo!)

Thanks for the info.
About the username, as I told to kboya in pm, I'm French and at the moment of creating a nickname (because my usual klown was already used) I didn't think enough. I sent a nickname change request. Sorry if it had offended someone.
In Canada last time I checked the folio keyboard wasn't available. I thought that might mean it has been discontinued but don't know?

Isn't that the normal keyboard, not the folio? I bought the normal keyboard in the end because the folio was showing up as unavailable
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
this is the folio page. not sure why you would take it over the other. i love the keyboard as it is, and you can change the angle to suit you, which i do not believe you can do with the folio. https://store.google.com/product/pixel_c_folio_keyboard

Oh yeah I love the normal keyboard no regrets buying it. As you said, the magnet is awesome how you can angle the screen anywhere you want, works everywhere
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
While it's nice that you can have any angle you want on the non-folio version, I just find it to be inconvenient to use as an actual case. The way that you have to attach and detach it just isn't very conducive to using it that way. If you never really want to use it to cover the screen, I guess it's fine though.
I wouldn't mind picking up the folio version either but alas, it's not in stock on the US site either.
And just when I made up my mind about getting the folio keyboard it goes out of stock in the US :c
Is the keyboard still available in other countries for you guys? (I think Canada might still have it, possibly?)
Still out of stock...bummer
