So if there are any skeptics like me out there, give it a try, at least download it and save it while its free!

No apology needed. Enjoy!

Has anyone figured out a way to use TouchPal with the threaded SMS app (on a Mogul, specifically). When I bring up the kb it covers the area where you're typing so you have no clue what you're typing. I don't see any way to move the text input area to the top of the screen in the threaded sms app. Anyone?

Actually, I think this is an issue with the app itself and not Touchpal since it did that with the standard soft keyboard.

That sucks. That's probably the #1 app I'd like to be able to use TouchPal with and it doesn't look like there's any way to do it. I guess I should start looking for an alternate threaded sms app.

You might want to take a look at Triangle Powers Software's SMS Threader. I've never used it but I hear its pretty good. http://www.trianglepowers.com/PPC/ViewApp.aspx?ID=48

This app freakin' rocks. I used to have a Blackberry with SureType, and while I hated it, one-handed typing on the Mogul is FAR easier this way. It's a great way of combining a SureType style keyboard with a touch input method...wow...I love it.

For those who wants to use this touchpal as default, install the attached cab and once installed open it and set touchpal as default. This is probably an easier method than the SIP method.

I've been using Touchpal from Day 1 and love it. I can usually get it to open from the Keyboard icon menu (I uninstalled SIP), but... sometimes after a soft reset it won't come on and all I can get when I click on Touchpal is the plain vanilla keyboard. Then, after waiting a day or so, it's back and fully functional again. Anyone else have this problem? Or, even better, a solution?

Meanwhile, I'm going to try aznmode's defaulting keyboard (above).

I just experienced touchpal disappearing after a soft reset this morning. the default keyboard kept popping up. and then next time I checked touchpal was back as the default just like before...

I use Touchpal along with SIPChange and have never experienced issues with it disappearing.
