Looking for a better keyboard for my hero right now im using swype and its ok but not great I would like to get the new better keyboard app or the nexus one keyboard but haven't seen it online yet can anyone help me out

If you like swype, check out slideit -- I like swype better, but there seems to be a lot of fans for slideit out there

What's wrong with the stock keyboard?

 

[sparda07]

nothing really just wanted a change of style for a bit been looking at home replacements as well cause i don't want to root it just yet cause i want to be able to get 2.1 when ever its released and from what i'm understanding if i root i can't go back.

Better Keyboard is "ok" at best. The newest version is somewhat faster, but it slows down after a bit. I found myself going back to the stock HTC Keyboard...

i found out that there is a mod to get the keyboard kinda like the swype method but for this one you have to have a ROOTED phone. Mine is not rooted yet as im waiting for a working 2.1 version to be released

I'm partial to ShapeWriter. Works VERY well and integrates with your native user dictionary so you don't have to d/l another *coughcoughBetterKeyboardcoughcough*
I LOVE it

this is where i found it @ Nexus One Keyboard (with Voice Input) - Download for your Android Mobile | ANDROID DOWNLOADS, APPS, GAMES, THEMES

i just rooted my phone but i'm having trouble loading it
might not work on the Hero not sure.

My only problem with the HTC keyboard is that I quite often hit the period when I'm trying to hit the space bar. The period is not needed because you get a period on a double space anyway. Quite maddening to say the least. That is one thing that sets the iPhones keyboard apart from the HTC's. Fix that and it would be better than the iPhones.

I just downloaded the better keyboard app and it seems to Have everything I wanted/looking for even the multi touch is working. I'm typing this right now from my hero with the keyboard

Love the stock HTC Phone Keypad, and slideit is wonderful takes awhile to get touch friendly with but after awhile you get really quick with it.
