HTC trace keyboard - HTC EVO 3D

Does anyone else absolutely love the trace keyboard ? I find it way superior to swype. It is much faster and has more accurate predictions!
Just thought I'd share.

I have the opposite results,i find the predictions to be terrible. I had to switch to swype.

qHD Enabled Gingerbread Keyboard

I really enjoyed the themes blacked out gingerbread keyboards. But they look crazy small on the EVO 3Ds qHD screen. Has anyone found a workable solution that can be installed simply from pushing an .APK file? I like the HTC keyboard on this phone. It's slot more responsive because of the processor I'm sure. But i really want a correctly proportioned gingerbread Keyboard. #help. Sidenote, I tried searching the forums but nothing showed up.

I downloaded "Keyboard from Android 2.3" by Steven Lin from the Android market. Does the job for now.

Can't get trace to work with HTC keyboard

Other than enabling trace in settings what do I have to do?
Want to try it since swype on this phone is a buggy POS.

IMHO, It's worse than the swype.

I think you need to have word prediction enabled for trace to work. Give that a try.

As quoted from goodandevo.com
"Trace will only work in prediction-enabled text fields like email, messages, and notes. Search fields and URL bars do not support prediction, so you'll need to tap the individual keys in these areas."
A little ot, but is there a way to update swype? I was using it but it stopped tracing my finger so now I'm on HTC trace, which is basically just for text and email

Nope, not till root. There's a swype rep/employee on the IRC evo 3d channel and he's confirmed this already.
Darn. I'll just have to practice with the touch keyboard

Evo lte and fast typing

Anyone notice that the HTC evo lte can't keep up with fast typing? For example when you type real fast the words get all jumbled and the vibration feedback stutters. Never had this problem on og evo.

I had the same problem... I switched back to SwiftKey and the problem was solved!
Try a different keyboard maybe? Swiftkey is the absolute best available, and I would recommend it even to someone who wasn't having any issues.
Haven't had this issue, it might be your keyboard. Had the issue with the sensation and stock ICS keyboard.
The only time I ever experienced that was when I had the sound/clicks turned on. But even then it wasn't often. Since turned off and NO LAG HERE!
I have used a few different keyboards, but with all sounds, vibration, dictionaries and corrections disabled and don't have any problem on any normal things. Ie most apps.
But, typing into most web forms IS very slow and buggy, with any keyboard and with at least both the stock and dolphin hd browsers. One particularly annoying bug is that once you've typed a line or so, and try to position the cursor back in the middle to make an edit, the spot where text will be erased or added is nowhere near where the cursor is. And it's very slow & laggy. That's most blogs and article comment things.
Typing this into xda premium app is no problem.

Flawless here with SwiftKey. Typing on Chrome when it first starts sometimes lags a tiny bit but nowhere else. Matter of fact I'm typing so fast right now most of these words sfs care misspelled, SwiftKey just knows me too good <3
I even have haptic feedback on (albeit at very small vibration) but I like it that low because it makes the letters feel "fuzzy".

I shouldn't have to turn off sounds and haptic to resolve this. Never had the problem with og evo. This is definitely an issue for me.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
It's all about that SwiftKey...never had that prob with it before.
I'm a long time SwiftKey fan, but I have to say I do like the Swype beta a lot. Don't like the keypad layouts as much and not being able to back Swype to delete a word makes me sad, but I can be really fast and accurate with this thing.

If you aren't hooked on swype, you might want to try some of the aftermarket keyboards...they do some amazing things (and some do have swype or something similar included). Especially if you are used to the iOS keyboard...its probably one of the biggest day to day functional improvements on Android. Smart Keyboard Pro, Thumb Keyboard and Kii are all awesome.
@kintwofan i have that off and my swype keyboard still has the predictive txt and i downloaded kii is ok ill do for now

My friend that's because I'm an idiot. First some reason I thought the picture was the Samsung keyboard. That setting has no affect on the swype keyboard

Uninstall swype!
Seriously not if there is a bug with it. Have to wait until they fix it.

What's wrong with the stock keyboard? I just swiped this from it
sent from my Note 2
It sounds like the complaint is the suggestion bar because you can't turn it off. But it is less annoying if you turn off auto correction and next word prediction.
But there are many good keyboards. No one should feel stuck with a keyboard they don't like.

Thats not the stock keyboard. Thats swype. This is the stock keyboard:
If youre rooted, I can give you the stock kb with the auto correct turned off and ability to remove predictive text as seen above, in a flashable zip file. I cant help you with swype, I think stock is far superior though. Ive used 4.2 keyboard, swiftkey etc. I came back to stock

Lotta capabilities you will need to get used too.

Split Keyboard

Just got the 2014 and was wondering if anyone has come across a split keyboard for it or even a Swype version for it? Been using Swype since my G-II days,... very comfortable with it. But sure wished I could find a split keyboard option. Thanks!

The native samsung keyboard splits. Push and hold the mic icon chose split, normal or floating. If you dont like that try swiftkey or thumbsplus both are good

Since you mention Swype, the Play Store version does have a split function as well.
Try SwiftKey. I have and it's the best yet. I think. There is a free trail version in the play store. Swipe works in split mode to. Takes a little to get use to.

Another keyboard you might like to try is one of the original split keyboards on the market in thumb keyboard. Tons of customization options to fit it to how you want it to feel like. I used it on my other tablets before the Note. I'm mainly stick to stock because it like the ability to write from time to time and it has native split like others have mentioned.

Kii is by far the best split keyboard I've used. I've tried swiftkey and swype but always go back to Kii.
