Dictionary, T9, keypad and TouchPad

[xmkgenzo]

after upgrading the ROM from VZW stock to DCD 3.0.1 I lost dictionary/auto_completion capabilities.
I searched online for a while but couldn't find posts about it. weird. in fact it was a trivial problem and finally I figured out it was in a tab of the input. /me stupid!

besides I came up w/ the idea to use T9 like in my old Nokia. (sometimes using the stick is a real hassle, especially when wasted)

found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=312524&page=2
and installed the intellipad but cannot get rid of the annoying keypress sound from menu, had to go to
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\IntelliPad\
and put sound reg_key to 0

after I downloaded and installed the TouchPal (from cootek site).
I used it for a little while and it looks great. T+ rocks and it's free. T9 only in pro version, in trisl for a few days.
I'll use TouchPal for some days and decide if it works for me.


did you tried any of these?
are you using something different?
