This is the stock keyboard that was included in 7/27 leak. This keyboard has the hide button removed and a bigger space bar. I did not make this keyboard (HTC did) nor can I modify it from this point in anyway. So please don't ask me to make the spacebar bigger or move it around. All I did was extract the apk and odex files from the leak, deodexed it, and then put it into an update.zip format that can be flashed in recovery.

Personally I prefer this keyboard to the official froyo keyboard, as I find the spacebar too small and the hide button is redundant as you can either long press the menu button or press the back button to hide this keyboard. Check it out, you may like it better too. :D

As far as I can tell this only works on Sense Roms with the Sense Keyboard

Directions:
Flash attached zip in recovery... and that's it.

Could those with fc give info on their current setup?

Personally this has worked on both skyraiders, redemption, and virtuous.

Sorry, as far as I can tell this will only work on a sense rom. You could try extracting the apk from the zip and installing it through astro or whatever, but I doubt that would work. The best thing would be to make it installable like the HTC_IME mod keyboard, but I wouldn't know where to start.
