HTC's soft keyboard for Android

Does not work anymore after you system update from t-mobile. ahhhhhh!!!!! I miss my HTC keyboard!!!!!

wow..great stuff...even tho i dont know the half!!!!...i wanna learn...where do i start?...please send email..

does your g1 need to be rooted to get this????

@John

What home and theme app are you using in this demo? Also, is that a twitter widget? Whats the name of it?

Can you get this without rooting because i dont want to root it.

I anm kind of blown away. We saw glimpses of what HTC was doing in Haykuro's Legacy H Builds. However, I would never have guessed they would go as far as they went in actually diverging from Google Android. Later on yes, because corporately it makes sense to take what others do and then build upon it after most of the work has been done. Obviously they have had some people designated to Android for some time and hats off to HTC for jumping in the game obviously for what has been a while now considering what this video shows and the keyboard that HK teased us with. This is a perfect example of the best aspect of Open Source and it will be interesting to see what Google adopts from the "Hero" build in their future build after Android 1.5. This is why I love Android.

However, I am not quite sure with the suspected pricing that they are passing on the discount to the consumer from not having to pay for software. That's a whole seperate issue.

For the record, I have given a dollar to HK and JF every build, which means I am out almost $10. I will even go a little bit further than John and say that HK and JF deserve respect and support if you have ever used one of their builds. Stay on their good sides, especially HK's because he will probably be taking control of the computer world by 25.

Haykuro just informed me that for auto-complete and correction with the hardware KB, you need to tap in the text field with it out. Works well.

While I'm here, I want to publicly thank JF and Haykuro. They've done great work for the modding community and it has allowed me to test features early.

If their work has improved your G1 experience, maybe send a little something their way. Small donations add up.

Both have buttons for donating -

One thing i don't like about phone dog is all the annoying commenters, how old are all of you, and whats this infatuation with Noah, yea Noah's videos are great but johns are great also, think before you comment, Rant over, Great video i like the HTC keyboard much better than the other one

BTW, I should clarify to everyone that Google and HTC still have two different keyboards.

I'm not sure which phones will be getting this one. I think we can expect new HTC devices to ship with it, but I don't know if it will automatically come to G1s.

How old are you people? Seriously.. Its not a competition. John thanks for the video. Are the buttons on the HTC build bigger?

great video cant wait for my update
