Keyboard Help
Keyboard skins need to be activated from within a
replacement keyboard app such as Better Keyboard, Smart Keyboard or Ultra
Keyboard. They can NOT be activated on the stock Android keyboard or any
preinstalled keyboard such as HTC Sense, HTC IME, Swype, or SwiftKey
Keyboards.
Keyboard
Skins
These skins were tested on Smart Keyboard
and will work on Better Keyboard and Ultra Keyboard as well. These skins may
also work with some other keyboard replacement apps (if they do please let me
know). I recommend trying the trial version of the keyboard first if the app has
one.

Try the trial versions before you buy. Remember the
Market has a 15 minute refund policy.
Using
Market Keyboards in Android
- Download and install the keyboard app of your choose from the Android Market.
- Go to Menu > Settings > Language and Keyboard. Check the checkbox next to your newly installed keyboard application. A standard Android warning will pop-up regarding replacement keyboard use. (In order to read your keyboard input the app must know what keys you are pressing. Every keyboard replacement issues this warning. If this bothers you then spend some time reading reviews of the keyboard app to see what other users think.). Press OK.
- Long-press in any text input box, and then choose “Input method”. Choose your new keyboard application from the list. Your new keyboard app will then launch for the first time.
