[Q] HTC_IME or similar compact qwerty?

[xanderharris86]

So I'm having incredibly trouble using HTC_IME on my phone... I tried v27 and v23 of Jonas' keyboard and it wouldn't work, I even used one of the newer hd ones I found elsewhere from a couple months ago, still no luck. They all install perfectly fine but when I try to use them they just force close before even opening up.

Is there another 'free' compact qwerty keyboard I can use that works on the play? I really like the HTC_IME and would like to get it back, but I'm having horrible luck.

Any suggestions? Need more specifics? Let me know if you can help!

Swiftkey X beta is my favourite keyboard, the autocorrect and predictive text gets better the more you use it. Most intelligent keyboard i've ever used...almost too inteligent

Have you ever tried just hitting space a bunch of times to see what sentence it comes up with?

There are a couple of themed HTC_IME mod keyboards for gingerbread which also work on the XPlay on these forums.
The only problem with it is that the calibration tool force closes.

Thanks for the heads up on SwiftKey X beta, better than the original.
