[Q] New HTC Sense keyboard on Cyanogen

---

Hi,
First off thanks to all the developers. I bought a DHD a couple of weeks ago. With the help of some very useful noob guides (thanks again) its all rooted and booted, out of its shackles and ready to fly as it was meant to. I have put cyanogen6.1.0 RC2 on it and I love it.
The only issue I am having so far is to do with the keyboard. I have fat fingers and often mis type or get mis auto corrected. to fix I have to tap on the area of text I need to correct. Problem is fat fingers mean cant put the cursor exactly where I want and a few seconds of unnecessary frustration. On my previous Magic I could scrol with the roller ball.
Anyways to conclude my essay, the HTC sense keyboard that was originally on my phone had arrows that would allow me to move around (good for fat fingers) the cyanogen keyboard doesnt (not so fat finger friendly).
Is there a way I can find the HTC sense Keyboard apk and use on the cyanogen? Where do I find this file?

Sorry for the long post,

here you go this is as close as youll get to sense keyboard

Never fear things are much, much better in Gingerbread. Cyanogenmod 7 will alleviate all your woes. I've been told by the developers that it even cures cancer and of course there will be no world hunger if everyone has Gingerbread to eat.

Sent from my Gingerbread eating Desire HD.

When is CM 7 out?

@ fkofilee thanks muchos

Fat finger loving, cancer busting, sweet gingerbread crumbs in the shape of cyanogen 7 for my DHD bird! boom boom! You have my attention.

I just tried the HTC_IME_hi22. I have selected it (ticked it) in my 'Language and Keyboard' and in the settings tried to mess about with swipe gestures to move between words. No luck. The keyboard seems exactly the same as it was before and fat finger issue still persists. Do I need to somehoe deactivate the old keyboard? can I not find the apk from my sense rom and drop it into cyanogen rom?

I see you have enabled the keyboard, but have you selected it? Press and hold on text entry box and choose "Input method", then select "HTC_IME mod". Your new keyboard will now be used.

Elementary my dear watson! Thanks,
Thats exactly what I had not done! the app looks the part, but still no luck from the finger swipe and navigation arrows. Ive had a look at swype and one or two others. they dont have this navigation either. Fat fingers crossed for gingerbread

:) to serve this key can be changed, thanks

HTC Sense Keyboard for Incredible S/CM7

---

I realize this is the Desire HD forum, but I thought I would post here first before starting a new thread. I've been searching around for a while, and along with this thread, I found another (link below), that provides links to and HTC sense keyboard .apk that can be used instead of the stock CM7 keyboard. I used the Sense keyboard for almost a year on my Incredible S before I installed CM7, and so really miss the long press for special characters, as well as the auto-correct feature I came to rely on so much.
My question is, If I download and install one of these .apk's (either the one in this thread, or the thread I linked), SHOULD it work on the Incredible S, or do I need to find an .apk specific to my phone. I tired installing the one from the link, but when trying to switch to it in the Messaging app, it just force closes right away.
Apologies if there is already a thread related to this for the Incredible S. I did some searching but couldn't find anything. And of course, Thanks in advance for any help you folks can provide.
