HTC IME Keyboard Question...

[billyk]

Even though I am a devout Swype user, I keep coming back to this keyboard. Somehow, I am really, really fast and accurate on it.

Questions:
- I have the new V25, but I don't recall exactly how I selected keyboard skins in an earlier version. I know I had the typical black/white color scheme that is really easy to read. V25 comes installed with a gray scheme I don't like as much.

- Where the hell is the "Calibration" function? I know it's somewhere in those freakin' menus but I can't for the life of me find it.

Thanks in advance.
I may have to donate some money to this developer. It's a great keyboard!!

Ok - found the calibration. It's in a sub menu under "Text Input"

Still don't recall how to get that cool black/white skin that looks just like Swype though. Is it a different .apk I wonder??

You can create your own skinned keyboard, refer here:

Yes - doing that now.

I posted before I figured this out. There are some great starter skins to get you going. Great tool.

yep, different apk. i feel the same way as you though. even when i'm all over the place on this keyboard, it still comes out more accurately than swype. plus, it's better for slang, etc.
