Like EarlyMon said, we can't share the APK. Just remember that the Google Market policy still allows you 24hrs to return an app you don't like for a full refund. If you decide to try it, let us know what you think on this thread: http://androidforums.com/android-applications/236366-keypurr-feedback.html There we will answer any questions you have to make sure that you get the most out of Keypurr.

I'd missed that detail -

Android Market update streamlines content, nukes tabs, dismantles 24-hour return policy to appease devs -- Engadget

Lovely - rational purchasing for an entire platform at the mercy of the gamers.

Yeah, just lovely.

dan330 · Dec 16, 2010

yeah... how do you evaluate a big app in 15 min? and it takes time to setup ...

so... in effect.. NO return policy...
so.. will it help devs.. if it reduce the number of users that will even try your shiiit??

OK - cleansing breath. This goes at Google's doorstep along with the game devs in particular.

Let's go back to keyboards.

Actually, it's only fifteen minutes refund now

Using Swype, and I'm so glad that HTC brought it to the Evo in the last update. No more worrying about the beta ending, or needing to find other means of obtaining the apk.

dougrb · Dec 17, 2010

Hate the stock keyboard, the placement of letters is totally messed up... especially the period key. I'm always hitting it in the middle of a word. Tried Swype, and it's pretty decent, but it's far from perfect IMO. I don't mind feeding it vocabulary, but it can be stubborn at times and I don't want to have to feed it constantly.

Just started using Smart Keyboard Pro, and it's everything that the stock keyboard should have been. Simple, calibrated well, buttons in the right place, predictive text works quickly and accurately. It's not gimmicky, and I like that. Swype has its merits, but I type MUCH faster with Smart Keyboard Pro.

If you guys like the stock keyboard, try out gimpsta.com. You have to register to use very simple. After registering you can customize a HTC_IME keyboard to your liking, it has different colors and themes to chose from, or you can create your own. You can do it from your phone.

I go back and forth from Swype to HTC_IME.
Just my.02

Was using Better Keyboard - now I'm trying out Gingerbread

gregs887 · Dec 17, 2010

Swype all the waY

chobe · Dec 18, 2010

I just downloaded keypurr...a friend recommended it and so far it works really well! my type is much more accurate and its no problem to learm

Caloy · Dec 18, 2010

I'm glad I'm using a legal version of Swype that has the microphone feature. Thanks dan330! Thanks to HTC for bringing in what it's users want. HTC you are the best.

AHWagner · Dec 18, 2010

I guess I'm the only one who likes the stock keyboard for landscape?

^^ swiftkey > stock android KB

New Swype is much more accurate than in the past from what I can tell.

I tired swift key and didn't like it - unistalled...

Use the apk file attached to the first post:

Gingerbread Keyboard Port + Extracted System From Sdk - xda-developers

Just a normal APK, no root required. Don't know why everyone else seems to think you need to flash something.

has to be rooted correct? i am not

see above - no root required for 2.3 keyboard

Old thread but I'll bite.

I'm a swype user too and I love it even if it gets completely lost sometimes and you have to manually correct 8 words out of 10 randomly. After recently coming from a phone with a much smaller keyboard, I find swype works a lot better for me if I use it in portrait mode. I felt like I was running a marathon using it landscape on the evo. My accuracy and speed are much better in portrait mode.

Yeah swype is pretty pointless for me as well. only seems useful in portrait mode, which is not very useful for me. the times I have tried to use swype it has actually just slowed me down.

stock android keyboard is just the right fit for me

I just got the Gingerbread keyboard from the apk file and it's nice! It's pretty and feels great. I'll probably go back and forth from this and Droid X until I pick one.

Jeffruby · Dec 19, 2010

Did anyone else have gingerbread issue where tap to correct doesnt work? Ie puts words tapped in betweem old letters

Yeah, having the same issue. Love the keyboard except for that. Pretty annoying issue though

Jeffruby · Dec 19, 2010

The best part of the keyboard is that even in landscape mode, it doesnt take up whole screen. Prefer the grounded suggestions,as opposed to the floating, distracting one on HTC. Only negatives are lag in browser, and touch to correct is broken. Any updated versions?

Upright · Dec 19, 2010

Looks like there's a trend going on,...I'm also using the Gingerbread keyboard. It's the best keyboard I've used thus far...I make far less mistakes. Reminds me of the iPhone keyboard not visually but performance wise.

crazie.eddie · Dec 20, 2010

I bought SlideIt reading some recommendations here. It was ok, but after awhile, I couldn't get use to it. I like the long press of a key to type a symbol of the original stock keyboard. I was going to try Swipe, but I was hesitant about trying a beta. After using it on the EVO Stock update, I immediately removed SlideIt. I found Swype to be more accurate. Another thing I didn't like about SlideIt is if it suggests a word and I just want to erase the last few characters, SlideIt would erase the whole word. For example, if I use SlideIt and typed the word STRANGE, but SlideIt displayed the world STRONG, I would want to erase the ONG and type ANGE. But SlideIt would erase the whole world, so I would have to retype it again. Swype would allow me to allow the last few characters and then type the ones I needed. I also like the long press of a key to display a symbol.

Cares · Dec 20, 2010

If you guys didn't already know, all users can get the Gingerbread keyboard now (rooted or not).

Renamed Gingerbread Keyboard - xda-developers

I think it's a very nice keyboard, much better than any non-Swype keyboard I've used...but I still prefer my Swype

Klaskimo · Dec 20, 2010

Love Smart Keyboard... Hate Swype

flipn0tic · Dec 20, 2010

Tried Swiftkey... was not impressed. Back to Smart Keyboard. More intuitive and better prediction.

Swype Beta Re-opens to the Public for the Holidays - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog
