[MOD] HTC_IME (keyboard)

[QuasarZ]

Got my Nexus S last night and so far it is ok. Coming from the evo it has some differences. I do not like the gingerbread keyboard. I liked the old one and also how I could calibrate it to my style. It was so much faster and accurate to type than on this one. Anyway to get that one installed on the Nexus?
Thanks!

Are you confusing Froyo keyboard with HTC IME? HTC phones (you said you had the EVO) have their own keyboard and don't use android keyboards. I'll see what i can do.

Maybe I am. It was whatever the stock keyboard was on the EVO. I'll give that a try. Thanks so much!

Then yes, what you need is above

Ok so I got them installed, but when I long press to select input method all that shows up is android keyboard. The new one isnt there.
EDIT: Disregard, I missed the step to activate in menu. Stupid me! haha

One more question...pretty trivial but something I used a lot. On the calibration tool page it is the exact keyboard I was looking for with the minimize keyboard button. The keyboard that shows up to text has this button replaced with a smiley face. Is there a way to get the minimize button? Appreciate the help!

Its in the settings under user interface.

Ksmith - is there a tool to calibrate gingerbread keyboard? or maybe I should just install the HTC mod one. It worked pretty good on my LG

There is no calibration for the gingerbread keyboard. The HTC one is great.
