After reading around on these forums I went with "Thumb Keyboard". It works perfect and I even like it better than the Swype keyboard on my Droid. It's on the Market and is absolutely worth the $1.87.

I use uber keyboard because it always shows an option for voice entry. Same keyboard I use on my droid. You can get it from the marketplace... But you may need the market fix.
Alternate keyboard
I use SwiftKey.
You can load more than one language at once, scans your mail to anticipate on word patterns you actually use and also has the mike for vocal dictation.
Great keyboard. Available in the market.
Also had some success with smart keyboard but writing both in French and English, word suggestions were a hassle.

Just bought this and as soon as i used the hardware keyboard i realised this could be a bit of a problem (i have the spelling skills of an infant)
Is there any solution to this?
Same here, I really would like to know.
Is it possible the have the apk from HTC Tatto or Wildfire keyboard ?
An app that auto corrects on the fly is what we need, like blackberries have.

Disappointing if this doesn't exist
Thinking about getting this phone, does it still have T9?
I'd like to know if there is a way too.

yes
Sorry to dig up this old thread, but did anyone find a way to get a spellcheck going on the hardware keyboard?? It's probably the biggest thing i'm missing!
Better keyboard does it,
but it ignores the hardware keyboard symbols
There are apps that can provide it - The one I settled for in the end was Swiftkey - but it's not free.
But as standard it *still* doesn't have a spellcheck or suggest for the hardware keyboard.
*Edit*
HTC_IME QVGA - stolen from the wildfire (or something similar) has a hardware keyboard suggest feature and is free. I have tested it before and it works on mini pro

thanks for the suggestion for swiftkey, but i really prefer keeping the t9 keyboard for the screen input. I just wish i had spellcheck and autocomplete/correction for the hardware one!

Touch the screen after sliding the keyboard out and suggestions will pop up.

Yeah you need to touch the area where you want to type and then the suggestions come up.
I am running stock HTC Sense ROM until CM7 is released.
Coming from CM7 on the DINC, the main thing I cant stand right now is the HTC Keyboard. I want to replace it with the AOSP keyboard.
Has anyone done this before?
BTW, yes I am rooted.
download gingerbread keyboard of the market
Instead of replace, download gingerbread keyboard from the market. Free and it works nicely. Typing from it to post .

This is the keyboard I've been using for a while on my Dinc and installed first thing on my Tbolt when I got it. It works great.
That works. Didnt realize the keyboard was on the Market. Should have checked I guess...
Thanks
+1. Using Steven Lin's Gingerbread Keyboard until CM7. Excellent on the DInc as well as on the TB.
I used this GB/Lin keyboard for roughly 10 min. until I realized landscape mode in Mail is terrible. Anyone else have the keyboard take up 95% of the screen in landscape mode and in Mail? Messages and Gmail are fine. Just Mail.
Swype
Swift key takes the same amount on landscape. Swype looks good and its takes less real estate on portrait and landscape. But the beta version is having an issue not automatically spacing after each word. If you google beta swype and register you can download and install swype. Or you can google EVO swype and download that version. The space issue is not on that version, but you do lose the mic option. It's a toss up on your decision. I personally can go with no mic for now.

Just curious to know what keyboard you guys all use?
I use SwiftKey.
Swiftkey
Maybe would have been better with a poll.
Stock Android Gingerbread keyboard, the "Samsung" keyboard is a joke compared to the stock experience. Sometimes Swype, but not usually.
stock ginger keyboard here.
The awesome thing that is Swiftkey, of course !
Stock Samsung.
Swiftkey

SwiftKey all the way.
Tried a few and I have finally settled on SwiftKey, I used a Desire Z for 4 months so its gonna take some time getting used to a virtual keyboard again but the extra width and bigger keys is a huge help.

I'm using the HTC_IME mod for the Desire. Used it for months and I prefer it to the installed keyboards.

How did you get this working, I tried just copying the one over from my old HD2 mod but then cancelled when it said touch input will replace system settings or something along those lines and now get force closes even though I've removed it. Can this work alongside the other keyboards or do you have to replace? If replace, how can I backup the standard please?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks.

The HTC MOD one is really good, i used it with my Galaxy S. you need this version (which i am using): .
Just a little test for the various keyboards out there, over the many months since i first got my first Galaxy s, i have tried many many different keyboards and none, except the HTC MOD one, would allow you to enter anything into the drop down 'search this thread' box on xda's full site which i always found strange, granted, you have to be in landscape and it takes a couple of touches of the box to allow you type anything, but no other keyboard i have tried will allow you to do this! I challenge anyone to find a keyboard that does.
All of you using the Swiftkey or Smartkeyboard....
I tried using both. But in the email composition application neither of those keyboards shows word suggestions...i.e. in Swift key the word prediction bar appears in all apps except email compose mode. In Smartkeyboard, the word suggestions appear in all apps except in email compose mode.
Am I the only one facing this issue???
Please help. Because of the above I am having to live with the default Samsung Keyboard.
Thanks so much for the HTC keyboard link. The stock keyboard is very frustrating. I'd tried lots of others but all had their problems. This has improved my phone tremendously!
Is it possible to install Swype keyboard on CM7 touchpad & if so how do I do it?
I am using Flex T9 keyboard which incorporates "swyping" and it works great.
Thanks I will try that... Though I would prefer genuine Swype just cause used to using that one on my Samsung Epic.
The TouchPad's screen resolution is not compatible with Swype.
Another alternative would be SlideIt.
It will work if you do what I mention in this posting. However, cannot distribute the apk, because swype requests you do not.

TBO, SlideIT keyboard works much better anyway. You dont have to loop for double letters, and it seems to be a lot more accurate. Works right out of the box, no hacks needed.

The biggest problem with SlideIT is that there isn't a way to switch from SlideIT to a different keyboard easily. Since I use ConnectBot, that makes SlideIT too much of a pain to use.

Most keyboards have a button to bring up the "Input options" menu, which contains an option to switch input methods. SlideIT does not.
Download a keyboard, mostly all of them have Swype and customizable backgrounds and everything!
I have the GO keyboard. It's got Swype!!!
I'm having trouble getting it working to be honest :/
The GO Keyboard? It took some fooling around with, but I finally go it perfect.

Long press on any text input box and select "Input options." Select your favorite keyboard and continue typing.

This isn't true, I had it included in my earlier releases of XRONified but since it isn't included with the Touchpad, the mods asked I take it out.
It worked just fine too....
Don't know that I could use swype on my TP. It's a little large. I am doing great with thumb keyboard.
I will be looking into this! Thanks!
I'm relatively satisfied using the Flesky keyboard with my Omate TS, but since Swiftkey just went free, and I use Thumb Keyboard in my phone, I've been wondering what is the experience of other TS users with alternative keyboards, maybe better suited for small screens. I tried minuum for a while but I couldn't get used to it.

Hi.
I've just installed SwiftKey but it doesn't work. It only displays two lines of letters. Not optimised for small screens by the looks of it.
What works for me is voice typing using the Google keyboard. Pretty good actually.

I like MessagEase. The 3x3 layout fits in a small screen and gives me all letters in a single swipe (including french keyboard keys).
Interesting!!
I am using Google Voice because the Omate Fleksy is not in Spanish languaje.
I will try Minumm and Flit

I preferred Graffiti to Flesky, Minumm and Flit on small screen of a smart watch, I never see anyone mentioned it though.
