What did you like about HTC IME? When I tried this, it was way to much like stock. Sure it has a couple cool mods but, nothing that really tickled my fancy. Perhaps I was missing out on features. Please explain
Key size customization and autocorrect are the two functions I like the most. Other than that you're right, it does work a lot like stock. I actually like the stock keyboard, but my fat thumbs hit the wrong keys too much. With this I fly!
