is there a touch keyboard like the iphone instead of the tiny ass lil buttons? tell me where to get it and how to make it work as the default keyboard thanks
I look for something like this too.
I tryed opal but is not working.
ive been looking on here and have you tried pocketcm? i guess that has a keyboard but i may be wrong.. something for you to investigate
Try pocketcm. Version .14 it is the most stable. There are also some pretty nice skins to go along with it.
I really like Vito zoomboard as well, it is really nice and it looks a lot like the iPhone but you do have to pay like ten or fifteen bucks for a full version.

Anyone use it? Any problems?
I've been using it for a while now. It took a little getting used to, but it's a all I want to use now. Unfortunately, it's not playing well with ZenDroid. It locks up my phone mid-sentence and I have to pull the battery. Anyone else have a problem like that?
I like it a lot. Haven't had any lockups in the six or seven months I've been using it.
Very annoying that many common words are not in their dictionary. I'm especially annoyed that it doesn't know swear words, but it does know garbage like PETA. There does appear to be some sort of learning, though, which beats the blind automatic-learning garbage-collection that plagues Swype.
I have a few nitpicks, but overall it's very good.
I am honestly the most confused and sad person on the planet (not really xD) right now. I can't get this keyboard to work... I had it on the reborn rom, freaking loved it, and now I can't seem to get the v27 from the forums to actually work. I activate it in keyboard settings, then when I go to use it, it never pulls up the keyboard. It just sits there as I'm pounding the text box(oh yeah, turns you on doesn't it?)
Alright well if anyone ever needs this advice I will point you to the fix I found on androidcentral (ick)

That is the low res version, it's apparently the one that works with lg phones, because this keyboard and lg phones don't play well together I guess
So there you go...
if I'm not mistaken mine didn't work with the low-res either :S
Really? The 1.5 and the 1.6 version 27 both are what work on mine. I'm typing on it now.
Well idk, whenever I try to flash it, it says update error and cancels and just leaves me hanging.. Can you give me a walk through or something like it?

What is the advantage of this keyboard over x or y keyboard?
Wait...your flashing it? You don't flash it. You just unzip the files in it and install the apks. Oh and well I just really like the look and feel of this keyboard. It looks nice and all the buttons are where I want them,it doesn't have to appeal to everyone,but I really like it

I've had the 3VO for a week now and it's great. I'm coming off of an EVO, and I'm noticing that the Swype keyboard is a little different.
I've seen some posts from other people mentioning the same thing, but I have a specific question.
Does anyone else coming off of the old EVO find that this new Swype keyboard is very inaccurate? It seems to always recommend some crazy ass words.
Anyone have any advice on the slider setting for the word choice window and the speed vs. accuracy? I've been messing with them, but haven't seen any improvement.
I tried using the stock keyboard, and I don't like it.
How did the newer version of the keyboard get so much worse? Also, why can't you hide the stupid language button? It shouldn't be on the keyboard.
Sorry for the rant, but I love this phone and just a little frustrated with the keyboard.
I'm pretty sure the problem with it is that this is the older version of Swype like we had on our OG EVO until they OTA updated them with the newer version of Swype. I agree, after using the newer version, I can't stand this one. Hopefully, they'll update us with a newer version as they did on the OG EVO.

Personally I think someone should be shot for implementing this. To many options are never good. I always hit it at the wrong time, and then you have to scroll through like 598 languages just to get back. Sucks. How many purple people actually use it? I'm guessing about .008% of the people that use swype. Cmon swype devs...remove it please.

The Evo 3d comes with Swype 2.5 which seems to suck in every way. If you root your phone, you can uninstall it using Ti Backup and then install Swype 3.0 beta. 3.0 is so much better it almost doesn't even seem like the same keyboard. Swypeinc.com
Rogers EVO did not come with Swype
Beta 3.## works awesome tho
Language button position is perfect for me, because I switch from French to English all the time
Does anyone else have an issue double tapping to select a word with Swype 3? I've installed it twice and always come back to 2.5 because it irritates me too much.
I've always hated Swype, but I was willing to give it another shot after seeing that it was preinstalled on my phone. The version on the 3D made my feelings even worse. It was one of the first things I removed after rooting my phone.
Ok, huge android fan here, been thru several android phones. I find that on this phone, text input is not accurate at all and is quite slow.. No matter what keyboard I use. I never felt like this on anything other android device. Is it just me?
Its my biggest complaint. Text entry i a total pain. I thought maybe its the tapered glass, but the s3 had it too, and I had no issues using the same keyboards.
Please chime in

honestly, I haven't noticed an issue except for typical wrong predictions when I butcher the spelling really bad

No problems here. Fast and accurate typing on just about Ny keyboard.

The stock keyboard w/ Sense sucks, but you seem to be having a different issue.
I use SwiftKey and have not had any issues at all.
perhaps ill try swiftkey. I cant imagine it being a software issue. Ive tried the sense keyboard and also the ICS keyboard and my typing is just totally innaccurate for some reason. Never had this problem on any other phone. Thanks for the input fellas

Swiftkey for the win. I picked up a DNA last night, and to be honest only used the stock keyboard long enough to get my back restored. No issues with Swiftkey on it.
I'll chime in here with Swiftkey also. I have been using that since release and never looked back. So far I am enjoying swiftkey flow even though I was never a swype fan. Flow's word predictions are excellent.
I've been using Swype since it came out and it was one of the first things I installed on my DNA, No problems here at all.
using swiftkey flow/swiftkey, no issues since day 1. you should make sure your not pressing the screen with another part of your hand/fingers as the screen goes right to the edge of the phone, sometimes i find when im watching a video the side of my finger might touch the screen and pause it. You might not be used to a phone with such a small bezel.
Just got my DNA, and I have no trouble typing at all.
you know what? for the last two years, ive swore by the GB/ICS/JB keyboards as they were nice looking and very accurate. To me they suck on this phone, maybe its me, maybe its the screen size, idk, but I will say this, I used swiftkey before and wasnt really a fan,
BUT
i just put it on my DNA and it has solved my woes! Thanks for the input guys.
Silly question, but have you done the touchscreen calibration? Settings -> Language & keyboard -> HTC Sense Input -> Advanced -> Calibration Tool.
Not a single issue for me. Especially coming from a GS3. I can type rather fast on this keyboard lol

Just updated swiftkey to 4.2.0.155
I find swiftkey to be rreally good at what it does. It learns things so well. It puts the exact amount of 'y' I like to put in my 'hey'
But recently after the update it has not been doing that. It doesnt remember things. The flow is good and its good at accepting common words but nothing specific to the user like it used to be.
The reason to use swiftkey is the prediction.every app has a decent flow but none have the personalised prediction like SK.
Anyone facing this problem?
Try swype..its a good alternative for sk..instead better than sk

yeah I know swiftkey is not that good at swyping but its really good on predictions. I have bought it a couple of days ago (special price)
I have read that LG keyboard is really good... but I havent tried yet.
Yeah complete bs man! I hate it. It forgot all my words... Wtf is that ****?

its flow function was never good. in fact no swype-like keyboard is as good as Swype itself. they all need you to exactly passing on exact characters in your way, especially first and last characters. but swype reads your mind. sometimes i can't believe how it guessed my word, because i almost didn't touch any exact key of that word.
And it has a great prediction system. maybe not as good as SK, but really close to it.

There are features of the S-Pen I use
Such as pulling out the pen will activate the Note section and some times it is easier for me to write than type. When using Excel, the pen makes it much easier to navigate and there are times I need to write.

Amazon gave it for free a few days ago... :silly:
I used the stock Note 2 keyboard (swiping) for a while, it was nice to tuck it into a corner because I always use my phone with one hand. Then I went to Swiftkey for probably six months, had to get used to reaching with one thumb but it was worth it for the extra features. There are a few nagging problems with Swiftkey that bothered me though, so I just switched to Swype about three weeks ago now. Swype is pretty good, but it also has a few issues.
The perfect swiping keyboard has to have the following:
- Full control over size of keyboard, shrink it by % and place it wherever you want.
- Full control over size of keys and spacing (swiftkey has this, but... It doesn't help to solve the above issue)
- Full prediction of the word you are trying to make, AND prediction for the next. Yes, this means a split prediction bar, but hey we have the real estate to spare (swype is better than swiftkey for prediction of either kind)
- Adjustable (in ms) long press for secondary keys. (swiftkey does this perfectly, swype doesn't do it AT ALL. WHY?!)
- A control panel where you can tinker with notions such as double key scribble, etc (none of them does this)
- FULL editing of the extra keys, make them do whatever the hell I want (swiftkey does this better than swype, but neither does it 'enough')
- Native support for slang, lingo, and curse words (come on Swype, do I *REALLY* need to add every god damned curse word and every variant of it to the dictionary? Seriously?)
- On the spot specialized training for words that it always gets wrong, no matter how careful you are (they are supposed to do this on their own, but there are a few small words that they will never 'get', and I would prefer to choose the default and have their choice as the alternate)
- The brains to recognize squiggles as words even if you aren't even near the keys (they almost do this, but I am talking about a system where you learn words without looking, and slowly make that gesture smaller, and smaller, and it still knows what you want. A tough one, but quite possible)
