Iphone Keyboard Layout!!!!!!!!

i tried the iphone today i was so impressed with the keyboard input function.
specialy that when you release your finger the key input appears, and if you press the wrong key just move your finger to the next key and release. have tried to find a similar app for my WM6 based device but there is nothing like it out there!
can someone please make a keyboard input app like the iphone for the WM devices.
the iphone really sucks BUT there is one big thing i like with it is that the software is so easy to use and so dam logical, have to give creds to the software developers at mac....
ya one more thing the iphone is 3 times faster than my ETEN GLOFIISH X500+
over and out...

Dude, I totally know what you mean. And not only the keyboard, but also that finger-flick thing. You know, the one where you kind of touch the screen with an up or down motion and it kind of flows... When is one of the WM developers going to get off their ass and make that possible on my Hermes! Sheesh!

Come on you lot, before you so eagerly jump down people's thoats, I think you'll find larsuck was being sarcastic, hence the bold wording...

theres also a pocketcm keyboard theme file, you gotta dig around the pocketcm fourms customizations to find it.
its great and looks just like the real iphone keyboard.

You can check Resco Keyboard 5.11 pro version. It has all the features with look and feel of iphone keyboard. Pretty finger friendly too.

I think some of the posts here are unfair.
Yes you can search but you're wasting your time. I've been looking for a better keyboard for wm for years.
PocketCMKeyboard has an old version which sort of works, sometimes a bit slow. It has some skins which are close to the iPhone style but again you'll need to search for them, find the right version, copy the right files to the right places, cross fingers and it will be okay. I used one for a while, some drawbacks but looked pretty good. Depending on the version of PocketCMKeyboard, it would bomb out with a time thing that meant you needed to download the new version straightaway. There's a new version but the skins are different and the old skins don't work with the new PocketCMKeyboard and you need to search for those as well. There isn't, I think, an iPhone skin for the new version.
The stock HTC keyboard qwerty thing is pretty good and is on a lot of the 6.1 roms. It works, looks pretty ugly but it works. There's a new 2.0 version you can search for and someone clever here is working on a qvga version. It looks a lot like the iPhone keyboard. You can serach for that as well, look out for version 2.0 rather than 1.5. It's not ready yet but we are hopeful.
Search on here sucks a lot of the time. If you think finding what you want is incredibly frustrating it's because it is. Shouting SEARCH all the time doesn't really help anyone, especially if they can't find something that matches their question.
Unfortunately, while I like my HTC Touch and enjoy tinkering with it, programming for it and trying out all sorts of registry hacks and tweaks to make it better, the market is going to run away with products like the iPhone which don't require all that extra work.
HTC + xdadevelopers + time = acceptable
Let's keep it polite.

I did one a while ago for PCM v14
You may want to try the link labeled iClone in my signature. I used much of the actual iPhone graphics and layout.

Are you serious or did you konk your head falling out of bed today!?!?!? I have had more trouble find a piss room in an air port than the almost 12 differenent keyboards on this site and skins to match iphone!!
This thread is was started by a person that is just another useless waste of space.

Hi,
FingerKeyboard2
PocketCM Keyboard

Haha, i personally think it is the hardware problem, the capacitive touchscreen will do all the trick that iphone will do. The software is partially at fault too as someone had said in this thread.

[REQ] Swype's new keyboard technology

is there anyone knows where can i get this superb technology to install it to my touch pro as shown in the video?

Mind share with us the download link, so we could test it out?

yes yes download link

SlideIT and www.shapewriter.com
I haven't tried SlideIT, but I have been using shapewriter for awhile. Only downside is that shapewriter isn't recognized when using a few 1 or 2 apps.

SlideIt
I tried the Shapewriter beta when it came out for WM. I went and bought Slideit as it is much better. It has a mini graffiti and it easily learns words and you can turn off the recognition mode for passwords and other spcecial needs. I am running this on a Kaiser and use the KB all the time and now I rarely use it. Not sure I would even worry about a qwerty kb again with this app.

OK I TAKE MY COMMENT ABOUT SHAPEWRITER BACK
i reinstalled it into my phone and WOW lol
its really easy to use.
i think everything should try it out

any free software available?

Awesome
I am the slowest typer/texter ever. So I just purchased the ShapeWriter and it is worth every penny.
I think this is the second best thing ever created, next to toilet paper.

It's nice, but unusable for me, because I usually write in Czech!

new version should support xT9 and I've found ShapeWriter with czech t9 from sunny soft -> PM

Yeah... English, but how the **** will they port it to other languages? Import whole dictionaries or what... lol.

this software isnt out yet. if you go to their website you can read all about it.

I'm really interested to see how swype will work... I've signed up so I get notification when its out

I downloaded ShapeWriter and its working on my unlocked Fuze. I paid $19.99 for it.

Swype Keyboard

Anybody use it? I got a cab, and it's pretty awesome.
Swype Videos
I'm thinking it should be built into a rom, but don't know if i should post it for copyright reasons.
External Link

u know the rules , u told us about it so u gotta deliver

WOW!! This looks amazing. Looking through their site, it doesn't look as though they would mind, as they are trying to have it distributed as OEM and have a beta group in progress at the moment.

i also tried swype. but its no option for me. you need many practice i think.
the resisitve screen from tg01 is not so good for this prog. the screen faster gets dirty and will be scratched, if you use this for long time i think.
on other screens like the hd2 it would work better.

Ive been using this keyboard for a few months now and it works 100% perfectly on my TG01.
If you dont want your screen scratched you can either:
1) Buy a screen protector
2) Not use your phone at all
Im using a martin fields overlay plus screen protector, and any slight scratches that may have appeared are gone within 2 days. Those scratches arent from using swype though

I've had no problems with scratches either.. just don't wrap your fingers in sand paper and you should be fine

SlideIT
I personally use SlideIT as an alternative to Swipe, same functionality but a less cluttered keyboard. Would highly recommend.
Cheers,

is very good but it don't had romanian language

swype is my fav keyboard i've ever used, i really would check with the rights holder before ditributing it in a rom though...

I use it for about 1 month and meanwhile it's my favorite keyboard ever..
Accuracy is amazing and it looks so cool. Couldn't get enough of it.

that means i must buy it?

Do some research. It took me about half an hour of googling to find the swype cab for free.

Try ShapeWriter. Same thing and its free in the market. Takes a little getting used to, but you can really fly with this thing

SwiftKey keyboard

Has anyone besides me tried this yet?
I'm not impressed by Swipe. This however is certainly a good keyboard. I'm not a huge fan of the looks, but it's not ugly. Thoughts?
More info..

Currently giving this a go at the minute, not given Swype a go as I'm not keen on the concept of it. SwiftKey seems alright so far though.

I just tried it and it is quite good..although i gotta say that while all keyboards perform well when typing in english, when i type something in italian the differences in the prediction and correction algorithms really start to stand out...end i always end up rolling back to the HTC keyboard..i guess this may be because italian is far more complex and *****y than english and while HTC spent a lot of years perfecting its keyboard for all the localizations they support, others might have dedicated less time to the same task..it makes sense to me as the resources of a small software house are hardly comparable with those of a huge corporation

Can't find this on the market....! Anyone have the file?

I love SwiftKey. Been alpha testing it for a few months. Always end up with stock IME, but its brilliant. Can send an entire text by typing a single word then it'll predict words based on previous texts I've sent.
Fantastic bit of kit

agreed, ive been testing it too, its amazing, if you are typing something relatively normal you can just type the first part of the first word and then jst hit the predictions to complete a whole sentence.
i use swype and smart keyboard pro as well, have permanetly comitted to anything yet though

Found out about it today, installed it, tried it but I still find swype nicer to use. Found it a hassle to keep looking out for the predictions.

I really like the SwiftKey keyboard but only one language pack is not enough. Ist there a way to use a second?

[Q] Swype on the Xoom?

Anyone hear if the Xoom will have Swype? Or if it doesn't use Swype, can it be installed?

If I buy it on launch day (leaning towards I will, but holding out on whether the bootloader is locked or not) I will let you know. I'm in the Swype beta program, so I'll try the apk and see what I get.

I'm in the Beta as well. I doubt the version that runs on our phones would port over. I certainly hope they're working on a Honeycomb version.

$10 the XOOM won't ship with Swype (since it has a clean Honeycomb install). That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see:
a.) Somebody port Swype over to the XOOM.
b.) Swype create a tablet-friendly version of its keyboard that XOOM users will be able to install.
I'm none too excited about Swype on the XOOM, however - the Honeycomb keyboard looks great, and if the Galaxy Tab was any indication, Swype just wasn't meant for tablets (at least not in its current iteration - see option b).

Motorola and Google, I'm sure, will offer the Swype dev team some decent incentives to push for a Honeycomb friendly version.

I though about that but even if this doesn't have swype I think id still be fairly satisfied with the on screen keyboard. The gingerbread keyboard is awesome, I'm sure the honeycomb will be even better.

I think Swype will be going out of business on tablet platform with the new Swift Key keyboard that was launched yesterday at the Honeycomb event by Google. No way can typing with two thumbs be beaten using the current approach that Swype has.
That said, I absolutely totally love Swype on my Samsung Vibrant and wish they come up with something just as convenient for tablets...

I tried emailing Swype to see if they would respond, but I don't expect to hear back from them. Maybe they'll show up at MWC and wow us??

nope
No Swype

Swype is not working on xoom yet, hope it will be available soon.

I have swype on my galaxy tab. not as big a form factor as the xoom, but it works fine there. I am picking up a xoom today and will see if i can copy over the version i have on my gtab and get it to work.

I Got Swype Modified for G Tablet that works Great. Flawless for me. Maybe it works on other Tegra Tabs. It was in the apps Section in the G Tablet forums of XDA. you guys can try that

i downloaded slideIt and it seems to be working. i prefer swype, but until they get it working, this is better than nothing.
my observations so far:
1. it's a lot easier to type in portrait - the keyboard is just too wide in landscape.
2. i bought a stylus for the xoom, and i love how that works in general, but especially with the sywpe/slideit keyboards. text entry is so fast. added bonus - no fingerprints!

What stylus did you buy? How's the Xoom responding to it? I've been thinking of buying a stylus when I get a Xoom, but don't know which one I should get, haha. Thanks!

Doesn't work ty for the idea though.

I'm not sure about sype... But Swiftkey is supposed to have a swipe keyboard for Xoom by April I believe... I believe there is a YouTube video of them demo'ing the keyboard.

I'm also interested to hear what stylus you use. I had one with my ipad that was borderline terrible.
Typed this with SlideIT, works great.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

I bought it at best buy...
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Targus+...504600&skuId=1151337&st=ipad stylus&cp=1&lp=2
As for the stylus, I think it works pretty well. for whatever reason, sometimes it doesn't recognize a soft key press, but otherwise, it works well. It works really well with slideIT in portrait mode. I think the soft rubbery tip really helps (as opposed to the some styluses (styli??) that have a harder tip.
Also, this is where I really appreciate android's double-tap to zoom in. works well in browser and maps so i dont have to use double fingers to zoom.
