Hi..
I updated to Froyo when the stock, rooted edition was out.. Modded it a bit and added the Circle battery mod.
I have been using the 2.2 Sense keyboard for a while to sms, browsing and so on, but since I use phone-keyboard and not QWERTY or compact QWERTY, I'm missing the old keyboard where I didn't have to press and hold "1" to make "?" and "!"..
Right right, the new keyboard is nice.. But come on, how often do you actually have to change the language of the keyboard?
As I'm from Denmark I can only speak on my own behalf: "Not that often".
Is there a way that I can get the 2.1 sense keyboard back?
If yes, how, and can you guys provide the file for me?
Thanks in advance
Yes this is very easy to do but I dont have the files at hand right now so hopefully someone else can post it for you, if not i will post 2moro
Why dont you just flash HTC_IME_MOD?? Its much better than 2.1 keyboard

But does it have phone-keyboard?
As I said, I do not like using Compact QWERTY, and rarely uses full QWERTY

Wow, sweet..
I have only seen screenshots of Compact QWERTY and QWERTY, that's why I just thought "well, doesn't support normal phone-mode then"..
Just installed it, and it is sweet, thx man!
I too have had the same annoyances with the 2.2 keyboard.
I just use the phone keypad style one and the thing that was really really bugging me was the exclamation mark had moved and having to press the little arrow then select it.
Just installed the htc_ime mod and it's great. Some nice settings too which make it a bit more customizable.

PocketCM keyboard
the screen of diamond isnt so big as iphone ...
there is only one keyboard to use with a diamond and that's TouchPal. have tried most keyboards and still looking for a better one.This is the fastest and best by a long way once you get used to using it.

Yes, but the Diamond's resolution is twice !
clearly the bes keyobard, if you are klookinf for somethnig similar to the iphones is vga diamond 1 keyboard without arrows
head over to
everythingdiamond.info
and install the keyboard with no arrows...
Finger Keyboard VGA is the best IMO, especially if you need language specific characters like I do with Swedish. See link in my sig.
Touch Pal 3.5
Just love this keyboard app. The predictable text regarding word corrections and predictable word choice is phenomenal.
If you take the time to Read through this, then you will discover the hidden potential of this app
The video is great but Reading is Believing !
Alright I was able to install the Htc Keyboard on the Mytouch 3G. Pretty sweet
Just posted some pics of my mytouch
Great - perhaps you could tell us how you did it and where you got the files from?

And how did you accomplish that, Chuco? Please enlighten us!
you download appmanager, download the htc_ime.apk from the forum put it on your sd card and use appmanager to install from sd....
I got this working using the files and the instructions on Haykuro's blog:
http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?p=213
After the phone restarts, open messages, go to a new message, do a long press in the text input box and when the option appears select 'input method' - 'touch input'
Massive improvement on the stock Android keyboard!
NICE! This is freaking sweet... it'll definitely make waiting for root more bearable since this was one of the apk that i wanted in the myTouch
Thank you for the heads up!
+1.. Just did this on my G1 & will be doing it on my mytouch monday before anything else.. I love the compact qwerty..
How is this compared to better keyboard or touchpal??
cant wait until i get my touch, in for when it finally arrives.

Well HTC_IME has 3 types of keyboards... regular QWERTY, Compact QWERTY (Like the ones on the BB Pearl) and t9.
I have some screen shot of it on my G1 here
As far as better keyboard, its still the same keyboard found in cupcake just skinned and its similar to touchpal but touchpal has a ton more options. hope this helps
thank you that did help.
i have to disagree i find that the htc keyboard to find my words way better than the stock android i type faster on this than on my blackberry

eh? we never did say which one was better than the other
the htc keyboard is definitely better.. stock is lackluster.. Nothing wrong with it, but its not good either..
im using appmanager to install the htc_ime.apk bt its not working... any suggestions?? im using my MyTouch
Is it not letting you install? Giving you an error? Are you changing the touch input after you install it?
it says its nstalled but when i try to change the touch input there isnt another option other than "android keyboard"

Damn you for getting your myTouch early gotta wait 1 more week but when your on your sms screen try holding down the text input area, click on "Input Method" and you should have 2 options "Android keyboard" and "Touch Input" click on Touch Input and you should have HTC_IME instead. I know I don't have my myTouch yet but I think that how it is if you have installed.
Did you try rebooting?
On another note: Anybody notice that the htc keyboard is a resource hog? Can't use while I'm listening to music.
Android double post ftw.
It posts twice, because it's twice as nice. :-D
Ok i know many people are in love with the hero keyboard but the problem is the lag. i stopped using it because when i type in landscape mode it just becomes so laggy, it would type and it would take forever for it to catch up. but the thing i love about it, i can use the trackball to select the correct words. there are some "optimized" HTC_IME's that disable the autocorrection but thats stupid, i need the autocorrection. i tried the default keyboard and i actually like it, BUT i cant select words with the trackball, that is important to me. so what keyboard does these things:
1) no lag
2) has autocorrection
3) able to select words with the trackball
4) saving words you enter into dictionary and suggest it first
So basically a "betterkeyboard" with trackball selection.
ive tried betterkeyboard, but it doesnt give me the option to select the autocorrect word, or scroll through them with my trackball, i gotta use my finger and its uncomfortable like that. can anyone recommend an alternative if there even is one? thanks!
HTC IME keyboard

That's the keyboard that he was complaining about lag.
Added one more requirement. I doubt sucha keyboard exists tho. Maybe i should email the devs of betterkeyboard
HTC default Keyboard on Cyanogen ROM
Hello I’m using the MoDaCo-sapphire Hero image on the MT3G, and it is painfully slow. I was wondering if the default HTC keyboard is usable on any of the Cyanogen builds. If so can anyone point me in the right direction to add it to Cyanogen 4.2.5? I love using any variant of the Hero builds, but they lag, are resource hogs, and my battery becomes mush. I just love their default keyboard which is easier to use, and it should be even faster on a lean ROM such as Cyanogens. Thanks.

Here's the link to the keyboard. Just download it and install it using an app installer. The keyboard is pretty fast, but as the OP said, it lags, but not as bad as hero roms.

yes this is the same one that is giving me issues. man i really wish the betterkeyboards had a scroll selection. any other opinions before i call it quits?
perhaps someone can explain to me how i can install an HTC_IME that has been optimized by eugene. its in his latest ROM, i successfully extracted it but it wont install. im sure i can do it through adb, anyone have the codes?
a suggestion...
I found another one recently which I believe is better with less bugs than betterkeyboard... its called "asoftkeyboard" its free on market... and its got almost every language support...
betterkeyboard started giving me bugs depending on roms and stuff so i tried this.. and absolutely love it... keys are kind of small though...
but try that guys...

Just thought I'd ask - which rom are you using? I don't get any lag with HTC IME.
You should really check out TouchPal from Cooltek. It has all functions you requested.

its working thnks alot with CM6.1 stable release!!!
Working just fine on CM 6.1, but the buttons are WAY too small. Sad, coz it looks realy nice.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
How did you managed to install to CM 6.1?
I used ROM manager to flash and it didn't work...
I did the exact same thing and it worked. Keys are a little smaller, but it's just as usable to me as the last one. it's looks a lot nicer though, so she stays. No multi touch though, as I thought it would have.

It's no better than HTC_ime if it doesn't have multitouch is it?
I suspect it needs 2.3 APIs for multitouch.

Did not managed to flash it too.. and I thought this was due to me having Voda Froyo. Im still rooted but it just wont install.
Bigger keys
I can't explain why but my keys got bigger after flashing CM6.1 stable.
I did whipe when going from nightlies to stable but somehow the keyboard remained.
This is the result:
Bigger keys
srry for double post firefox froze but did post it :s
I just flashed the .zip from the link in the first post. I'm running CM 6.1 Stable since yesterday but my keys are small. Hope someone finds a solution :O

What I would try: (Ok this will sound stupid but it might just work)
Wipe and reflash CM6.1 it should still have the gingerbread keyboard but now with bigger buttons

It is, but not by much. For example when you hold period you get a popup with all the commonly used punctuation marks. Same with the smilies, and with the top row of letters (showing numbers and accents, much like in the standard cm keyboard).
I actually like the smaller key size, as I can see more other stuff on screen when I type. I also somehow find it works just as accurate, even though it's harder to see where my finger actually lands.
The biggest thing is it looks a lot nicer, with the suggestions in a black background box in orange letters...nice!
Only thing is I have to teach it all my (swear) words again >_<

HTC_ime also does this. From what I read the only added feature seems to be multitouch (which I'd find awesome), but then I'd lose gestures.

gestures? I haven't used the htc keyboard in ages, but I did hate how friggin busy it looked.
The HTC_ime mod has gestures (and a number of other extra features). It's a lot better than the stock keyboard imo.
I don't know if this is an Arc issue or a Gingerbread issue... But I really prefer using Smartkeyboard Pro, but I see no way to enable it. Even though it's checked in the Settings screen, I can't actually replace the stock keyboard.
Any tips?
long press on the area where your text is and you should be able to select your keyboard.
D'oh! Thanks. I'm too used to the way I did it before - long press on the "1 2 3" key.

Haven't tried that, but Swype doesn't work for me. Tells me that it was not made for this device and that it has limited functionality. Limited meaning it behaves just like the default input and not a Swype input.

Swype signed an exclusivity agreement with samsung or motorola, some nonsense like that. You can use an alternative tools, like nuance flext9:

i replaced my keyboard with the smart keyboard pro and it works a charm was also really happy that I could change its skin to a black keyboard. excellant quality
