Touchpal vs. Touch Keyboard.
 
I believe I have come to a realization of a possible reason why the Touch Keyboard is so damn slow.

As you are typing with the Touch keyboard, the text is displayed twice. Once in the keyboard top bar, and once in the text input box. That's twice as slow.

Touchpal only displays what is being typed on the keyboard and then when you click on the word or hit the space key it inputs it into the text input box.

All said, this means the Touch keyboard is twice as slow as Touchpal.

Personally I prefer the Touch keyboard and if it was possible to make it work similarly to Touchpal, that would be awesome. Does anyone know if this is possible?

get over yourself dude, i was stating that i dont like it sorry your e-rage is out of control. its keys are too small and i dont find it to run that great. maybe the OP should look at different keyboards besides touchpal

Yes I actually have Touchpal V3 installed and registered but prefer the Touch keyboard as it is easier to use IMHO. I hope something comes from this thread as I think it would be a great fix for the lag in the Touch Keyboard.

Re: Touchpal vs. Touch Keyboard.

Awesome. I appreciate it. I will keep looking as I have been but will check back here frequently.

Re: Touchpal vs. Touch Keyboard.
 
i found out what the fix was and it wasnt what you are looking for sorry. but on the touchpal site they have instructions on how to make your own layout and i bet you could make one look and feel exactly like the htc touch keyboard again sorry no real solution but i believe my suggestion above is possible.and one more thing what is it exaclty you dont like about touch pal i might be able to help that with a quick solution.

I don't text much, but if you disable xt9 it should speed it up and give ya some screen back...

I wish CooTek would make a layout that looks like the HTC one.

Re: Touchpal vs. Touch Keyboard.
 
yea, i'd like a different colored skin as well, this blue is kinda annoying me lol.

but on topic, I think the suggestion on customizing touchpal would probably be the best solution. I don't know if the double printing of the touch keyboard is really what slows it down (though I don't know what does, just speculation).

I actually just switched to TouchPal v3 (I tried v2 but I didn't like it, I don't know why) I like the seperate button keyboard layout. I can actually type pretty precisely with it, and with the predictive text I can also type sloppily if I want and it'll still come out with what I was saying. I've been using it for about

i'm enjoying touchpal v3 so far, plus i just installed the default skin for it on my touch. it makes the UI alot better...

Re: Touchpal vs. Touch Keyboard.
 
i really like using the touchpal. it took quite a while to get used to but found it much more efficient.

OP: sounds like you might be looking for something like this: http://pocketcm.com/keyboard.php ? and then skin it?
