Guest thebtman Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 I am not getting on well with the Acer Liquid Metal Keyboard at all. It seems very inaccurate, and having used an iPhone keyboard for a while I know its not me. What I wondered was if anyone had created a mod to improve it at all. Otherwise I'll be selling it and getting an Android phone with a hardware keyboard!!!
Guest Chrisund123 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Get one off of market! Should be able to get the standard gingerbread one? https://market.andro...thod.latin.free Unless that is the standard keyboard? Lol! I never messed about with the stock Rom to find out. In any case, dead easy to install another. Edited December 31, 2011 by Chrisund123

Guest sumdumguy Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 Pretty sure the standard android keyboard is already on the stock rom, just touch and hold the input txt window and a small menu will pop up, choose input method and then choose 'android/gingerbread' keyboard. I too didn't like the acer one. Also you can install an iphone keyboard emulator from the market.
Guest kvkun Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 try htc ime mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608
Guest thebtman Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Nope its still crap! Everything else about the phone I like but touch screen keyboards just are notmy thing. It has to go...need one with a keyboard.. any recommendations?
Guest sumdumguy Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 I have to agree somewhat with the OP. Any android keyboard I have used on the 2 android phone i have owned has not matched the one on my ipod. The keys seems narrower ???
Guest Chrisund123 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 I love the stock htc sense keyboard on my desire HD, much better than the gingerbread kb.

Having tried the other suggestions I have just installed Thumb Keyboard which does seem an improvement over stock....its better..but still not right for me. The issue I have with touch screen keyboards is the level of focus needed. My N900 I can type without looking but with a touch screen its not consistent, and, you lose half the screen when typing. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has a Android phone with a hardware keyboard?
Guest scotth324 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 I use SwiftKey keyboard. It is better over stock and I like it better than the iPhone keyboard. It learns very well and prediction is great. Also the way the numbers are is nice as it is arranged like a dialpad and not just in a line. Also the price was right when android was doing the $0.10 apps thing.
Guest chemicalbuz Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 swiftkey is the best at all, i become very fast to write with it
