Keyboards

Anyone get Swype or Shapewriter working? I got them installed but Touch Input keeps taking over. I select either one in the Keyboard settings, but neither can over power touch input. I tried turning Sense off as well.

Re: Keyboards

I prefer Better Keyboard although its not free. There's lots of skins for it and it seems to have better accuracy than the default android one. Not sure about the default Evo one though.

Re: Keyboards

I finally got it working. Make sure you go through the complete tutorial in Swype through the settings menu.

The one that comes with the EVO is great. It is very accurate fast and well I'm used to that one since I've been using similar HTC Keyboards for a while.
