Guest Paul Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 Master android ROM builder Haykuro has released an updated HTC IME (Input Method) for the G1 device! Available for download from this entry on his blog, the IME adds QWERTY, 12 key and 20 key input methods that are far, far superior to the standard QWERTY provided in cupcake! A couple of screenshots for your pleasure... I've installed the new input method on my device (via ADB) on my rooted, cupcake'd G1 (running Haykuro's 1.5 ADP build) and I love it! I've also actually removed the standard cupcake keyboard to free up a bit of memory. I'm assuming root privileges are required to install... anyone? I understand a similar keyboard is preinstalled on the Magic, but since my review handset hasn't arrived yet, i'm not sure! Anyone? <_< P
Guest rav1patel Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 this is exactly what i need on my magic. think i'm gonna give it back and wait for a hero. everything's about the phone is perfect except the qwerty.
Guest Paul Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 You can install this on your magic without root! P
Guest rav1patel Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 it's amazing! just what i've been looking for. now i just need exchange. cheers!
Guest Chad Petree Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) omg that keyboard looks amazing!!!! its not official , is it? too good to be true Edited July 14, 2009 by Chad Petree
Guest Webreaper Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Looks nice but try using it. I didn't rate it at all, and have reverted to the native one. It's 'official' as in it's released by HTC. It's not official from Google.
Guest Amplificator Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 What T9 languages are in that keyboard?
Guest Paul Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 TouchPal Android looks promising... http://www.cootek.com/intro-android.aspx P

Guest Webreaper Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Why didnt u like it? I didn't like the fact that the auto-suggest pops up over the top of where I'm typing, so obscuring what I've written. The HTC one doesn't do that. I also don't like the way the auto-suggest works in general, I found it inhibited my typing. Horses for courses though, some people may prefer it to the native KB.
Guest Webreaper Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 BTW, I'd definitely recommend TouchPal - it's absolutely brilliant. :) http://androinica.com/2009/08/10/touchpal-...rience-sort-of/
