You can get the TouchPal.apk from the Palm Pre theme in the Dream themes and wallpapers section, just download the theme and pull the 2 .apks that say TouchPal.

I have no idea, it's the only one I know of but if it's a beta then it's a hell of a good one.

no it doesnt...still in beta

As a beta it's ok, but it really needs some changing. there's a .com button buried in there, about 3 or 4 taps in, therefore you could just type it as quickly, hash key is buried away as well, making it annoying for Twitter use, the keys are a bit too small in qwerty, which wouldn't be a problem but for the recognition suggestions being a bit silly.
best thing about it for me is the slide up on a letter for CAPS, slide down for punctuation option. definitely needs a little haptic for that though, if you're not looking directly at what you're typing it'll come out as garbage most of the time.

It's now available in the Market free till Sept. Make sure you install language pack after the main program.

I dont find it on the market.

I just saw it. Go to All Applications, By Date tab, and it's not too far down, but you should see a couple language packs first.

Touch Pal is released in the market today and its free to download until sept 30...this is not the beta version..this version you can now choose the vibrate and sound options on the settings...

Sorry to bring back an old thread but I just upgraded the ROM on my phone and now cannot find TouchPal on the market or on the web. I guess it's no longer in the market? But where is it??
I thought it was equal to the HTC keyboard, but touchpal has the 1-9 on the top row of letters and that is just awesome (gesture down to get the number instead of letter). It was so convenient.

Hi Everybody, I have this Touchpal apk v 1.0 from my Vodafone 845 and it is not working on my G1(Enomther The Official Froyo rom) how can i make it work? thanks....

I think here is a tool that can bring APKs to run. But I do not know how to use it.

If the version is not important, there is a newer version in the Market.

Thanks for ApkTool will give it a try .... Newer version of Cootek does not have Czech language pack

I've tried to repair the APK. The following file works for me.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14910634/signedTouchPal1.0%203.apk
After a while I'll delete the file because I do not know if this is allowed.

Best Keyboard Replacement..

Ok so I basically tried all keyboards that are on the market.. I have swype and slide it as well.. But I find myself going back and forth between all my keyboards and can not get comfortable sticking with one. I use a keyboard for like a week, if that, and switch to another one or search for hopefully a newest one. Its like I can't find one that suits me..
Does anybody have any recommendations on this??
Thanks for your help =)

I find Swype the easiest...Anyway keyboard choice is just everyone's personal preference. Just use one you find comfortable.

I like swype but don't like how you have to go over certain letters twice for a particular word such as; "choosing", "messages", " button", etc...
If I had to pick between SlideIt or Swype, I would have to go with SlideIT.. But I don't like how you have to press the "?123" button for symbols and numbers.
I agree that swype is easier, but I guess I'm jus to picky lol..

swype for me as well. but i saw something about this guy installing the droid x keyboard on his nexus. it has multi touch... i believe he also got the apk somewhere in here.

You don't have to go over them twice. You can just scribble on the letter. Go look at swype hints and tips. They got some really neat things to speed up texting.
But I use swype or better keyboard.

I forgot I was in a Nexus forum. :X I probably need to take my post-happy self back to the Dream. Either way, go look at their tips and tricks. If you can memorize them all and learn to use them out of habit... NO ONE you know without Swype will be able to text faster than you.
AS for built in keyboard, I like it. It has NICE response speed and when every other keyboard lags, it doesn't. Like you said, though, the keys are just too small. :|

... Hahahaha! that made my night, i needed that laugh lmao
i knew the basics of swype and had swype for awhile now and i guess i didnt know about other tricks and what not, thanks for sheadin some light on that.. ill go check them out now.. im sure its on the swype website, so thats where ill look first =]
Again, thanks! i hope i can get used to this swype thing because i find myself thinking where to slide my finger when using slideit and swype.. when i just use a regular keyboard my fingers seem to jus "flow" like its just reaction (if that makes sense).. i know where all the keys are based on memory so i dont think about it when i type, swype on the other hand.. I do lol.
Im sure its just a learning curve.. so when i get frustrated doing swype, ill stick to it and not switch to another keyboard so itll become 2nd nature..
... All in all i appreciate it man, ima go check out the tips now lol
Time to beat that record!! haha.. =]

HOLY S***t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... I didnt know like 85% of what i just saw about swype!! HOT DAM!
Im really gonna push myself into learning Swype to its full potential now! OMG...

Swype is faster in portrait mode, plus it feels very natural once you're used to it. On the downside, typos are a pain to redo, usually requiring you to retype the whole thing. Plus, there's almost no spellcheck ability.
In landscape, I can type faster with Better Keyboard. I'd wish they'd incorporate the punction in the suggestion bar, but I'm good with press and hold.

I love Swype. I switched to it about a week ago and I can type really fast!!
I was using HTC_IME and I still might be using it if it supported multitouch. I'm waiting for the Droix X keyboard to be ported over, that looks promising.

I haven't yet seen ANY keyboard on my Nexus (2.1, stock, not rooted) work with multitouch.. I use HTC IME that was modified from here to include smileys and a few other things.. Works well for me.

If you looking for a non swype style keyboard, I really like Smart Keyboard Pro. Its my daily driver, although I do also have Swype installed.

Help looking for Swype for Nexus One.

I went to the site but beta was closed. I did a search here, but links that I found are down. Can anyone help? I'm on a stock Nexus.
Thanks

It's not allowed to post links to where you can get the APK. Sorry.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks! How about any other keyboards? I just don't like the stock one that I have.
I did try to add HTC_IME but it force closes on me everytime I try to use it. ><

SmartKeyboard Pro is an excellent replacement keyboard app. Once you buy the app, you get unlimited downloads for other languages. Being able to flip to a German keyboard with one click is very nice. =)
Also, the English version of the profile-mode keyboard has T9. Sounds wacky, but I do type faster on it than with a normal keyboard one-handed.

Swype is the best keyboard. I signed up for beta testing, forgot about it, then a few weeks later got an email from them.You have to register with them IF they still offer this. But it will be available soon I'm sure.

[Q] Best keyboard other than Swype

Some how since backing up my phone and removing the bloatware, I've managed to delete the Android Keyboard.
Is there anyway to redownload this keyboard? I prefer it to the Samsung Keyboard hands down. Or perhaps there is another keyboard you would recommend that I can download via the Market or elsewhere?
Thank you

I like swiftkey...comes a close second to Swype for me.

The swiftkey beta is definitely worth a look. I prefer swype, personally.

So is there no way to get the Android Keyboard back? Even after I restore the backup prior to the bloatware removal, it always seems to disappear. Could I be deleting something causing it to go away?

I have it after removing the bloat?

So then what happened to my android keyboard?! =/

Just do an Odin restore, that should get it back on there

My favorite has got to be the DroidX multitouch keyboard.

Thanks SOOOO Much !!! SwiftKey is AMAZING! I used to like the stock android keyboard because it was fast, had good prediction, and was black so more batt efficient.
Swiftkey's prediction is just about two fold better than the stock android. The only things I would change is to add a D-pad when you hit the alt button, and making the keyboard more black to save on batt. (unlikely it will get optimized for SAMOLED screens though)

SlideIt keyboard best of all

I just purchased this today and after trying every other keyboard I can say this one meets all of my needs. Accurate, multi-touch, and good customization all in one.

I second this particular keyboard. I find myself using this on a regular basis.

I use Smart Keyboard Pro and I love it. Great prediction and just has a good feel. I haven't tried the Droid X keyboard yet, I'll try it out.

Swype is great, but my vote also goes to Smart Keyboard Pro. I've tried almost all of them, and this one is a keeper.

For me, it's really hard to choose.
I like the Samsung keyboard because of multitouch and I feel like I can type faster on it, but the autotext is a pain.
The Droid X keyboard is nice especially because of multitouch but it is really stupid when it comes to predicting text..
The stock android keyboard is okay, just no multitouch.
I'd say the Droid X keyboard wold be my pick. I usually use that.
-Just my two cents.

i, too, am loving the DroidX over Swiftkey

I actually love the default Samsung keyboard in 2.2, I just wish I could switch the Period (.) to the other side of the space bar as I tend to hit it half of the time instead of the space bar with my right thumb.
Anybody know of a keyboard that is exactly the same as the default Samsung Keyboard in 2.2 but with those buttons switched?

Swype

EMAIL me if you interested in trying a black or blue themed swype.
(if you are having problems with it not composing an email correct you can hover or right click the link.)
more colors will come as needed
Go to my swype link in my sig for more screen shots of colors to come. These will all be converted to TB soon enough.

SCREENSHOTS
Also:
to avoid the htc pop up when selecting a word to change in swype. Instead of tapping the word twice, only tap inside the word, then tap the swype icon to bring up the word choice window.
Original images for mine were based of previous swypes made by Bilbobrian

I hope it does, cuz I registered my last phone on swype beta...

If it comes preloaded there is no need to worry about all the swype beta stuff. Plus it allows everyone who is going to make full themes able to include themes for swype also.

the htc evo had an update to include swype so Im almost positive that the thunderbolt will... I mean the dam my touch slide has swype stock

Just picked one up.....oddly...no swype!

Why is it odd? It was never advertised to have it @[email protected]

Has HTC ever launched a phone with it? Seems like they make a deal with swype later in the game.
anyhow.. as much as it sucks that they didnt include it... wont stop everyone from having it.
I need to reset up my dropbox it seems. I have an apk that might work, was built for the inc, but since the inc has the same resolution it shouldnt be a problem.
Anyone wanna try it out? send me a pm or email.
Also if anyone was part of the old beta, and still has the apk on your old phone, try installing it on the TB, if it works could you send it my way, I could make a few themed apks from it.
I wont beable to post direct links to the themed apks, cause that would be warez ... but I'll do what I can.

open Beta
The beta is open get in while you can!
https://beta.swype.com/

Im already part of the beta, but im still on the X and it wont download to my phone, because i cant get past the DISABLE SWYPE part

I installed the Swype Beta and it appears to not insert spaces automatically in the Sense SMS app. Emails works fine.
Kind of a deal breaker for me, since I liketohavespacesinmysentences.

It's enabled because it works fine in the email app.

I also noticed the same thing in sense sms, I use handcent anyway. I was able to enable the beta on both my fascinate and tb.

i hope that its a bug that can be fixed. i actually like the sense apps. damn cant wait till they root the phone and we can get android 2.3 on here.. native SIP calling over 4G will be awesome

No Swype
Picked my Thunderbolt up this morning and I will say 4G-LTE is DAMN FAST.
Phone didn't come with Swype but the beta is still open to the public and I just went and installed it and it's working just fine.

Seems the auto-spacing and auto-capitalization is definitely a bug on the Thunderbolt as well.

It actually was advertised and Verizon covered up the swype on the display with DLNA stickers.
