all the eye candy and optimized roms for the HD2 are awesome!!! i haven't got into upgrading mine yet, so might as well want to post a new request prior to doing that -- in case, one developer has the time to create a:
a US English Dvorak keyboard layout that is non-staggered (in straight rows and columns) key alignment.
there are Dvorak typists who would really appreciate this one keyboard layout option aside from the traditional staggered qwerty, most particularly if it is straight and non-staggered....

One thing I liked with the HTC/Telus S720 I had for a brief while (I think others call it the Wing?) was the T9 text entry from its phone keypad - most times I found it faster and more efficient than sliding the thing open to use the QWERTY keyboard. The on-screen keyboards are only marginally useful - even the Resco keyboard with widely-spaced keys is a PITA because you need to switch between alpha and numeric modes so much.
What would be really cool on the Titan/Mogul/P4000 is a version of the dial keypad for T9 text entry, ideally using the same outstanding T9 engine the S720 has.
IS there such a thing??
HTC Apps thread in top most forum section of this forum called "Development and Hacking" you may find something if you look really hard.
you can always try the "elf's" "touchflo" keyboard-keypad it will give you t9 capabilities, but they are probly the worst ever t9 texting prog's ive ever seen since the #'s and letters are on the same keys on the keyboard, it gets really confused as the elf has no keyboard and the mogul does...
my 2 cents
Having just ditched the Nexus S for this I'm left pretty disappointed with the keyboard input, especially when using prediction and typing with the qwerty.
The text entry box seems to jump all over as suggested words pop up and the completion / auto correction and general overall user friendliness of this keyboard is not a patch on the Nexus S.
Any maybe can install the Nexus S keyboard instead (stock android Gingerbread)?
I've had this in my archive of apps, try it and lemme know what you think. I'll have a look for a newer version tomorrow morning if you like this one.
clicky
You absolute star!!!!
That's fantastic, makes typing soooo much more pleasurable and IMO easier!
Thank you VERY much
If there is an updated version that would be interesting to try.
Thanks again bud!

Hi all
Is there a compact qwerty version of this?
Love the phone but I'm pretty desperate to get a compact qwerty keyboard like the one on my Froyo HTC Desire. It's maybe a big finger thing but I really struggle with full qwerty.
Cheers

If anyone has particular interest in the 8pen keyboard, I would like to request a slight mod for the app.
8pen has an awesome option to switch to a standard qwerty keyboard quickly. The keyboard though seems to be the Gingerbead keyboard.
Being an HTC follower, I was wondering if someone would be up for the challenge of exchanging the built in GB keyboard in the 8pen for the HTC keyboard (without cursor arrows found in Synergy).
Is this possible?
Currently I'm running the jellybam rom and was wondering if there were any mods or apps or options I'm missing to change the qwerty keypad in portrait to a t9 style keypad like in sense roms. I've noticed most senseless roms are missing this option and I'm old school and prefer the t9 myself. any help is appreciated thanks

Old school indeed holy sheet of paper. Maybe you should search t9 in play store found a keyboard there just fine. Perfect keyboard free.

Hi,
I am configuring a tablet for my grandparents, and I am struggling to find an Android keyboard which arrange keys in alphabetical order (A B C D ...) instead of QWERTY.
I am not looking for a keyboard with combined keys using dictionaries like dialpad/T9 (which would be too complicated for them), I just need a basic keyboard with one virtual key per letter.
I thought that this would be very common and easy to find, but it's not
The only applications that I found are :
Keyboard for Senior Citizens : would be perfect but does not scale up correctly on tablet.
Keyboard for Dyslexics (lol) : seems to be exactly the same as the "senior" version, did not try because it s an other pay app and has same developer, screenshots and description.
Kids Keyboard : Scale problem in landscape on tablet : too small.
Alphabetical Keyboard : takes the whole screen in landscape on tablet.
Simple Large Button Keyboard : Scale problem in landscape on tablet : too small.
SlideIT English - ABC pack : layout addon for SlideIT keyboard, but I don't like the suggestion panel remaining on the top.
Dextr Alphabetic Keyboard : the only functional from the list, but I would rather use a design closer to a traditional keyboard.
If anybody knows a better keyboard with ABCD order or a keyboard which would let me customize the layout, I would be very interested.
Best regards,
Laurent
me to
looking for this too
