HTC keyboard on DROID -non-root-

[golffreaksi]

Droid Rebooted twice since installing this into Simply Stunning 2.0.2.

Not compatible with ESE53?

Nvm I watched a tutorial and I got it now. Thanks for the uploads though!

Before I install this, can this be uninstalled easily?

Can any confirm/deny this not working with the qwerty keyboard?

This is terrific - thanks for posting it. Installed it on my phone and my wifes - WAY easier to type and the voice works pretty well.

I still prefer Swype but this is a close second... The voice function works better than you'd expect.

I like it better than the stock or Better keyboards. The keys are crisper, the predictive features are very nice, and it has a ton of options. The only small gripe is that the keyboard doesnt fill up the entire screen in landscape. It's the Droid's fault for having such an high res screen!

Tried physical keyboard in AK Notepad, no prediction, even after I enabled it. Oh well. I'm definitely liking this keyboard a lot better than anything else. One-button switch between English and Russian? Yes please!

Update, I realized I didn't have the HTC_IME file in the root of my SD card. Placed it there, and now I have prediction with my physical keyboard! Awesome!!!

I had an Eris for a while around Christmas/New Year, but the narrow keys of the on-screen keyboard caused too much fat-fingering to be useful (esp with my winter-dried fingertips). Is this the same size, or is it wider (on the Eris - cannot stand the Motorola's form factor and uselessly tiny/qwerty physical keyboard)? Someone had suggested a stylus for iPhone might work (for my preferred input method), but not being built-in, and costing extra discouraged me from trying.

Between that issue and the inability to tether my work laptop even with PDAnet for Android (works fine with WinMobile 6.1 on XV6800 and XV6700, but not other more recent WinMo phones I have tried - go figure), I regretfully returned the Eris.

If this improves the onscreen keyboard sizing (no hope for Dvorak instead of retarding/retarded qwerty I suppose...), and tethering works any better, I might consider giving it another shot - all the other features were so cool, but those 2 issues were deal-breakers for me.
