[Q] Keyboard - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any keyboards out there? I've tried all the ones I could find.
Resco
FKB2
Stock
They all suck.
The only one that is okay is boogiecornejo's revised KB. Anybody know of any project or any keyboard that is good?

I like Swype, SlideIT and Touchpal

I agree... Swype rocks!

Swype is good, but not for typing fake words.

All I can say is, that the 10$ I spent for SlideIT was one of the best invests I ever made As I am writing messages in both German and English, SlideIT for me was the best solution. Switching languages and having separate user dictionaries is very easy.

For me it works ok, ive taught it many abbreviated words, the dictionary learns relatively well

Agreed, i alternate between Swype (currently v2.0 as is faster than 3.9) and SlideIT all the time, both are so good but from a langauage point of view, SlideIT wins for sure.
Also takes up alot less memory vs Swype. Also has the cool features of having the SIP built in and the abbreviations that you can teach it. I just type a few letters and my saved passwords type which is cool. Just a shame there are on skins out there as it does look crap lol.
I find it does often type faster as you dont have to double swoop around repeated letters etc but when letters in a work are close to eachtoher, sometimes SlideIT just doesnt get it, then i use Swype and it types it no probs.
Apparently SlideIT 4.1.0.3 is to be upgraded soon but ive been hearing that for a while lol.

Possible to add (ÆØÅ) letters into a Rom?

Ok, I'm from Nowrway, and have installed Tom_Codons ROM, The only problem is that it is missing 3 letters, æ,ø,and å.
Is it possible to extract these letters from a Norwegian Rom, and add it to Tom's?
That would have been great
And while I write this new thread.
I have to use the "abc" input method because Tom's Rom, doesen't got Norwegian xT9. Is it Possible to add that? That would have been even greater
I thourght it was only in Denmark we use ÆÅØ hehe, but would be nice to know, there is a lot of nice roms that is a pain to use becorse they are missing that

You are right *G* i thinked the same
We got it in Norway to
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzæøå
Hehe
And you guy's from Denmark don't know how to do it either?
Workaround that kinda works....
Hi Guys,
I'm not a Rom Chef nor a Dev guy.
However, I've been struggling with the same problem. My way to work around it was to to add my Danish words into the 'autocorrect' file on your device and "teaching" the customer dictionary the words for it.
E.g by typing FAAR, autocorrect with fix it to FÅR, KAERE to KÆRE and KOERE to KØRE. Spelling of the old days, but it works
A number of steps to do to get there the first time, so I suggest you search the forum for the thread that explains best to you how to amend the autocorrect file.
As I said, not the ideal solution, but it works for me until a better alternative is available.
My two cents worth.

Swype it, cab it!

Have you seen that input method?
Swype, check it out! They show with HTC's Diamon later in the video:

does anyone knows more about a cab ^^?
---EDIT 1---
here more information:

Yup, cabs are not yet publicly available, we'll all have to wait. And if this is going out to anyone but OEMs we'll have to wait even longer, right now our hopes are on a demo version or something I guess.
Same discussion here.
oh not seen it...
thank you!
close it! delete it!

Tried the cab from modaco on Touch HD. Find it kinda sluggish.. not so much the swyping part, but the words appearing pretty slowly.
This could be because XT9 is present too. Didn't see this in the video on Swype website. Don't know how to turn it off. Anyone?
Swype? No thanks!
Swype? No thanks It don't works!!!! I prefer Dasur SlideIT it works perfectly on my Sony Xperia X1 and on the Htc Diamond 2....I think Swype has some kind of problem to get in to work or maybe is not compatible at all.....they make me laugh when they appear with their video copy like Apple-style Brand and try to shock the world with a new invention when on the markey there is already better product. Please Swype- men do a better job next time. Ciao
SLIDEIT
Yes the name is DASUR SLIDEIT, you can even try it for one month then if you like it you buy it...if you don't.....
Any kind soul can help - how to make HTC XT9 predictive word suggestion not appearing when using Swype? This makes Swype sluggish.
I suppose this is because this cab is meant for Omnia, which do not have XT9.
try to find the setting of ezinput...
btw,this function isn't working in the cab file provided.
Statistical Tracking
Keep track of your speed using Swype’s built-in statistical tracking.
just installed the cab couple days ago, it works pretty good on my fone.

eh, Swype works perfectly fine here, but the cabs floating around are English-only. I'm going to have to guess that's not the language you're wanting to use..
I've tried both and in my view Swype is infinitely superior - it even looks slicker. I'm on an HD2 mind you, perhaps the processor and larger screen help.
It's worth noting that the original thread for Swype was closed down at the request of the Swype developers as they were working OEM only. I also saw a thread today suggesting Swype was to be made more widely available...who knows!
meh i don't like this one :/ I just can't write anything on this app
where the hell can i find swype for my hd2 , looking every where.....

A 2 second check on google for swype cab found it for me!
Swype works way better than I expected, I've been looking for a good sip for one handed operation and I can use this with my index or thumb and its as quick or quicker than my X1 hardware keyboard. This is pretty much the best sip I've ever used easily, only problem is I'm having problems where it switches back to the horrible default windows mobile keyboard very often... might have to try sipchange or something... But very impressed with swype, from the same creator of T9 input, its very versatile easy to correct and add words so it's my sip of choice, I just gotta figure out why it keeps going back to the default keyboard

Does anyone have the latest Swype beta?

It's available on the site, but it involves usernames, and giving my email... and I don't want to do that.
EDIT: I got it. But I need "ADB" or "root explorer" to remove all traces of the previous Swype installation or it won't install. Can anyone help? I am following the directions found here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-t/434290-swype-keyboard-acts-up.html
I have always had to use Titanium Backup (rooted) to uninstall swype so that a new official beta would install. The new Swype no longer uses a separate installer and can be updated from inside the app itself so at least that's an improvement.
On the new beta Swype, the alt characters are less visible than they were in previous versions (like a poorly themed version) but my main problem is that it is not taking my system font as it is now supposed to do. The characters are too small and unchanging no matter which of my rom's (dlev on captivate) 20+ installed fonts I choose. Perhaps there is some font package I can install so swype will see them?
I would really like to just get a swype.apk themed like the previous version of official swype since the letters were a good size and font and the alt characters are clearly visible. And a swype.apk that has the licensing functions stripped so does not have problems every time I change the rom. I know xda cannot host these files, but can someone please tell me what google search string I can use to find one of these to download? It would be greatly appreciated.
If I can't get this, I will finally just give up on Swype and settle with Slideit. Swype has been a constant pita to me for over a year since every time I loaded a rom or the beta updated I have had to figure out how to uninstall the old version, resignon to swype, redownload, reinstall, etc. If it was not my favorite keyboard I would have never gone through the hassle. Why it can't be sold and distributed like a regular app in the market and easily skinnable I don't know - I would gladly pay $10 to avoid all the hassle.
I was using swype for about half a year and it was pain in the ass...for czech language swype is very stupid almost every second word is predicted wrong even with biggest option to predict right...and its very annoying to waiting for new version and installing through installer and blabla...as you said, i gladly pay for slideit (and i did) and im very happy with it. More smarter for my language and theme option is just great...
Why not register? What's the harm in that for an excellent app for free?

For english language its great app...but for language where you have lot of punctuation and lot of symbol letters which other languages dont have its pain in the ass...its always aimless and making lot of mistakes.

Found one by searching for "Swype_v3.23.apk" and it does not appear to have licensing problems. All is good once again.

Thanks, I don't like the new letters either. Will try this one.

Custom Dictionary

Hey guys.
I've been using blackberries for years, and only used the iphone as a daily driver touchscreen device back when it came out. Now, the autocorrect is giving me stress for the most part, because I do and don't need it. I use the ISC keyboard from the app store and I found most of the dictionaries, and they work fine. But I also speak Papiamentu, which is spoken on three islands, Curacao, Bonaire, and Aruba. When I type in papiamentu, it always tries to change every single word which gets really annoying since I type in papiamentu every day.
Now, I wanted to create my own dictionary, and I found a thread on XDA on how to create my own dictionary, but after reading it I felt like killing myself.
Is there any other way I can "teach" my phone papiamentu the same way I teach any other dictionary a new word? Like double tap on the word and it saves it. That again sounds like it's going to take forever to do. I have a papiamentu dictionary and I'm pretty sure I can find an electronic one where I can copy paste all the words.
For now I will just use another input language which I don't have a dictionary for, that way it wont autocorrect anything, but I was just wondering if it was possible. Thanks
You can use Swype and it will learn any word you manually input.

Most newer keyboards have the availability to learn new words...I use smartkeyboard pro...or thumb keyboard has those features as well

Swype problem in official ICS update - Alternative Free Input Method

I have had issues with Swype since installing the first ICS, where it would stop working, cause the screen to freeze at the most inconvenience times. I thought I was alone with this problem, it appears not here.
I tried troubleshooting, reinstalling, clearing cache, uninstalling, reinstalling, fresh boot with nothing else loaded, nothing worked and I don't know what my problem must of been and was surprised I couldn't find anything else with it.
I searched for an alternative keyboard that would cut the mustard, I don't mind paying for things, but found slideIt not particularly good on the trial, also I do like the way Swype worked when it worked, so was looking for something similar, think I found it below.
I'm not one to normally worry about bothering anyone else, however after my woes of Swype and getting pretty much to the point of going back to Gingerbread because of it I have been very impressed, you can also utilize the unconventional keyboard layout if you wish.
Give it a go, worth it, for free anyway!

I always use stock ROM or AOSP.
I format system every Time I went frm one type to other.
And I only use Swype as I'm used to it and even thinking about typing is tyring.

Is it possible to un-see something?

Throw it back over here when you're done so I can do mine.

Yea cheers for that oinkylicious (WAC), I stated I do not normally post something, but found a benefit to myself that others may assist from. Personally I prefer Comic Sans - and?!
May I take it from your comment you don't want me to post any more.
I'll just observe, good job everyone doesn't just do that, xda would be dead and buried...
Go troll and spread your love elsewhere if you've no post related comment or have any form of positive input..
