If you go to the keyboard settings you can turn on tracing on the stock htc keyboard. You can choose the trace colors as well.
ps, didnt see this posted anywhere else. if it was, my bad, least its not in the dev section ;p
whoa, you would think they would have mentioned this.
swype was being crappy for me, and shapewriter doesnt fill up the whole screen.
nice find!
Swype wasn't working well for me, this is.
oh wow!. good find!
This was introduced on the Sensation, and I look forward to having it as an option.
How do you trace?

Hey DonSim,
Can you please tell me exactly what you have checked off and checked on under the Touch settings? I can't get it to trace, thank you in advance. or anyone feel free to pitch in.
I find swype to be way more responsive.

Hey, which battery app is that? I have battery indicator which is fine but it takes up a slot in the notification bar. I like the one you have that just takes the spot of vibrant's battery meter.
Looks pretty good. I loved the messages tab.

Ya not having the arrows is a problem when texting. Because if I need to type a word that doesnt exist in the dictionary but I dont want to add it Im sort of out of luck, since I can't select the other word.

Arrows are disgusting lol the gingerbread text selector is wayyyyyyyy better. Also does anyone else get "lol" in all caps when they type it? I do and i always have to press the lowercase version which is getting annoying LOL.
Get the < > you just press the "12#" then "1/2". You would think since we have a longer screen we would have plenty of room for the arrow keys. If we ever get root we can try some of the other keyboards and possibly get it to work.

settings-language & keyboard-touch input-text input-calibration tool. You can also turn on the swype-like feature of the htc keyboard. It seems to work pretty good and you can still punch away as normal if you don't want to slide.

You don't have to hit the space bar with Swype. Just swype the next word.
And I'm actually surprised at how many people missed the arrows. I used to see everyone complaining about them and using the HTC-IME Mod. Personally, I use Smart Keyboard Pro with the HTC skin, and it's perfect for me. You can also enable arrows that are just like the ones on the HTC keyboard if you want.

If you're using swype, you shouldn't need to be hitting the spacebar. It does that automatically for you, unless you're tapping on letters - and swype 2 SUCKS at tapping.
Swype 3, different story - it's WAY better than swype 2.
But no root, no swype 3 beta
For everyone wondering how to calibrated it. Go to settings, keyboard, touch input, text input, and at the bottom It's called Calibration Tool

Idk if this has been mentioned yet, but i use this feature everyday...no more swiping the top of the screen to adjust brightness level.
Is there a new shortcut for this? It's very handy.

Unfortunately it is indeed gone (I used it very often before, too).

I just went back stock and updated today and can confirm it's no longer there. I noticed the same with the ICS leaks that have been out recently but just thought it was something to do with being a leak.
Unfortunate, I really liked that feature.
A lot of the CM9 based ROMS have this feature available.

Do you all really not look in the market or on google for apps or do you just come here for answers cause you don't wanna take the time to look? Here is an app that does exactly what you want. You can control brightness by swipeing the top, bottom or side, your choice. It can also bee seen or you can make the bar transparent https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en
There is another app, Notification Toggle which mimics that of the 15 toggle mod that we were seeing around a bit before. You can put it in your status bar so all you do is pull down and set brightness from there plus a whole mess of other stuff.
Hope you enjoy.

There is an input selector icon in the status bar whenever the keyboard pops. If you click that you can easily change the input method.

This should be possible, just need someone with the knowledge and time to make one.
I am sure the S-pen SDK allows us to monitor when the s-pen is removed so we should be able to trigger an app to auto-switch keyboard at that point.

I would argue that double tapping to open smemo is the same amount of work.
It is amazing, however, how awesome it is to have smemo automatically open and close when you pull the pen in and out.

You are very welcome. Glad you find what you want.
SwiftKey type method is good, thanks very much.
The stock keyboard is actually really accurate after you calibrtate it. before its crap... but after calibration its way better.
I find swift key annoying at times. Anything else out there? I love the z10 keyboard. Flicking the words onto the page. I remember on older versions of swift key you were able to choose what type of texter you are, precision or speed. I don't see it anymore unless I'm missing something?
