There a 4.8 to 5.0 changelog?

When will 5.0 be 'westernized' and available on the market?
[Android Apps and Games] rexboy:
I haven't seen an official changelog but just try it lol. May not be released internationally but it works great, option to have english or chinese input so just turn off the chinese options, all keys in english etc. Works great for me, better then the market version and many more options including skin support. Use titanium to backup so if you don't like it just revert back, no big deal.
[Android Apps and Games] caspar.chan:
there is not a changelog from 4.8 to 5.0, because the V4.8 never release in China.

but a changelog from 4.76 to 5.0 here in Chinese:

1. 各地地名、方言细胞词库

2. 最上一行的工具栏能自定义调整各工具的前后次序，还可以添加更多组件

3. 支持一键微博

4. 自定义换肤功能

5. 候选词栏可以向后滑动，无需进入更多页面

6. 9宫格左侧的符号可以自定义

7. 自定义短句输入快捷方式，例如：按3下键输入完整的家庭地址

8. 新增触宝输入竞赛，可以自测输入速度，并可以联网参加比赛

9. 手动调整词的优先级，删除用户词

10. 英文输入使用了触宝最新专利TouchPal Curve滑行输入，相当于swype和swiftkey的结合

11. 触宝输入竞赛，自测输入速度，还可联网参加比赛

and, maybe there will NOT a V5 released international! it is a specail copy for Chinese only.

How you install?

When i unzip file it has bunch files but none apk?
[Android Apps and Games] yagay:
Very good thing
[Android Apps and Games] wintermute000:
swype broken, download fails every time?
[Android Apps and Games] Silvane:
I love this keyboard. Prediction is so much better than Swype. I like swift Key too but prefer swiping so this seems like the perfect mix. But the only reason stopping me from making it my main keyboard is no dictionary for my language. Are there plans to support more languages?
[Android Apps and Games] AA1973:
1) +1 for more languages.

2) Please reduce the size of the fonts for the "GO", "NEXT", "SEARCH" buttons as they show up as "NEX" "SEA"

3) And I would like to know why an "S" always will be corrected to "A" automatically. ..same thing with Q. If you don't look at the suggestion it will type We. U is automatically an I.. .

Any suggestions for the Q WE can use?

Using TouchPal 4.8 on a Galaxy Note.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
I see a new international version, 4.8.something, but honestly can't see any differences. anyone notice anything?
[Android Apps and Games] chrisjs81:
Yeah this is annoying, it seems to be part of the autocorrect or spellchecker options. It stops when I disable those checkboxes but then randomly starts again. Every once and a while I also notice the tutorial starts back up. I think the keyboard has a tendency to corrupt its settings and then the settings dialog gets out of sync with the actual current settings. So it shows the auto correct is off but is actually on.

This thread has been dead for a little while...

I've been using v5.1 for a while now - and loving it...

I have just flashed Jelly Bean (on SGS i9000) and have updated a few of my apps - are there any updates for touchpal v5?
[Android Apps and Games] Trublood_:
Nice keyboard. Too bad it doesn't support portuguese.

Sent from my Galaxy Mini - Cyanmobile reVo A
[Android Apps and Games] itsLYNDZ:
Could use an update. I'm still getting the most random words when I Swype.
[Android Apps and Games] caspar.chan:
update already.
[Android Apps and Games] itsLYNDZ:
I also updated and I'm still getting done awful word suggestions when I use curve. Just comes out as journey... needs an update on their accuracy and dictionary
[Android Apps and Games] capriciousmike:
So I'm using the latest 5.1.7 now. I use the 12 key phonepad option for input. I was getting some really weird predictions. Example - it was really bad with one letter words.

'I' or 'a' would first come up as an upper case 'S'

I uninstalled the app and then re-installed it and removed the contact names from the dictionary. Things are now working as I would expect.

I would like the hyphen to return to the home screen, I use it a lot.

Otherwise, nice app.
[Android Apps and Games] itsLYNDZ:
what does "enable stroke filtering" do? Also, when I go to input numbers or symbols, why are the 4 buttons on the left in Chinese? How do I make them in English like the rest?
[Android Apps and Games] capriciousmike:
Not sure about that stroke filtering, but I also have those Chinese buttons. I figure they can't be changed by the user - they need to be changed on the development side in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] itsLYNDZ:
Yeah they need to be fixed. Im always hitting all 4 of them trying to figure out which is numbers and which is the .com ones...
[Android Apps and Games] itsLYNDZ:
Why is there always a message every time I go to type anything? Its really annoying seeing the touch pal button flashing blue to see the same stupid message I deleted a week ago. Please stop it.
[Android Apps and Games] itsLYNDZ:
Still having issues with it picking the correct word. Swiping to always turns into top and Yeah turns out as Utah.... This newest version was good on my last phone, but now that I got my replacement its still pretty bad at predicting the correct word.
[Android Apps and Games] ithakaner:
Multilingual install instructions

UPDATE: Okay, no problem any more! I uninstalled everything related with TouchPal using Titanium Backup and started all over again - now it works perfect :victory:

Maybe there were some leftovers from previous versions/backups.

Now I ready to enjoy the magic input!!!
[Android Apps and Games] itsLYNDZ:
Word prediction still sucks on V5.2...
[Android Apps and Games] AMoosa:
The latest version from the Play Store is good. But it freezes on certain words consistently, eg "brother". Is there a fix?
[Android Apps and Games] DeucesAx:
Could you add assignable hotkeys to ease the input of emails and such?
[Android Apps and Games] frankenfoo:
i believe this is the chinese version and seperated from the international one.

even though it replaced the int touchpal version, settings remembered but need to download eng lang pack, update the custom dictionary etc.

the handwriting feature also required a reinstallation.

however i prefer v5 because

1) touch to correct will immediately show the list of suggestions, no need to touch and touch again.

2 keyboard all rows showed the alt symbols and numbers

3) when one type a number after a word, the space will remain (v4.8 will automatically remove the space between a word and the number)

4) one can scroll through the suggested words (horizontally) without having to go to another screen.

5) accuracy is improved

6) in chinese input mode, one can type in english and chinese without a need to change the lang. only thing is in chinese mode, the keyboard will be in chinese and no swipe feature.

7) the function bar (settings, edit, voice) can be disabled if you dun like it. or you can change it to other functions (launch to weibo, touchpal dialer or join the touchpal input contest)

8) custom shortcut word - eg enter xda will insert whole word (eg email address, full name) as long as it's less than 16 characters

9) instead of a blue line while swiping, now can have fancy animation. (i disabled this feature)

10) skins!

Waiting on the market update. No need for the chinese characters everywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] rexboy:
What chinese characters? I've been using it since it came out, you simply turn chinese input off so the only chinese character is small on the spacebar otherwise there isn't any,its all english :-)

i guessed your meaning and shot three pics for U:

the input mode default SET-OFF the Curve when address-bar is activated.

hold-down the SPACE and slide left to turn on Curve function IF you would like to use it.

and there will be an UNDERLINE under the “abc”.

Could it solve your problem？

[Android Apps and Games] 1seven:
OK, dumb question, and sorry if this was covered (I skimmed the whole thread, if it was there, I overlooked it.)

The OP says that v5_hotfix is the most current--but hotfix usually implies a patch, though. Do we have to install hotfix on top of the other? Or just install the hotfix file by itself?

Thanks for clarification. :)
[Android Apps and Games] onestoploser:

[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
I don't mean to be rude but how do we know this is safe compared to the TouchPal in the official thread? Why is there a separate thread for this?
[Android Apps and Games] rexboy:
Its not an international release, its for the Chinese market although the English part works great. That's why its not in the market or in beta form.

I love it but end of the day if you question its safety don't use it. a lot of apps these days ask for all sorts of permission access.
[Android Apps and Games] frankenfoo:
i also had my reservation at the beginning.

touchpal has a chinese and english official websites.

touchpal english international website

cootek chinese website (cootek.cn) / their chinese name chubao website (chubao.cn)

content wise i find the chinese one more info than the english

you can get the v5 from their official chinese website.

english website only provide v4.8 link to the market

and for v5 is more of catered to the chinese because they have this cell dictionary catered to places like shanghai, beijing, guang zhou etc but nevertheless it's still touchpal.

though i still prefer an international version over localised one, but the improved features on v5 greatly tilted the scale.
[Android Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
i thing that 4.8 default skin is better tha default v5

can you do something for this?

and regarding italian lang for v5, how install it?
[Android Apps and Games] rockb.blues:
I agree with the previous posts. Also, when editing a word 4.8 highlights the word so that if need be you can delete it. In v5 you can change the word but not delete it without manually doing it.
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Thanks for your post man. I guess I am a little paranoid and I really didn't want to come off as a jerk or anything. I was just curious.
[Android Apps and Games] caspar.chan:
there have been some guys replyed you already and they were right.

it's NOT a international release but for Chinese only.

i put it here because it support english well.

and, you can download the apk file from the offcial website if worring about leaking PI.
[Android Apps and Games] frankenfoo:
one suggestion:

touch to correct feature, possible to retain the original word too?

eg, let's say i type "SUCH", accidentally changed it to "SIGN" under auto correct.

i want to get back the word "SUCH" but if i select "SIGN", instead of the previous wordlist, now i only see words similar to "SIGN" such as "SING", "SINK", "SINS".

i need to delete and retype "SUCH".

would prefer the original wordlist to appear with "SUCH" included, rather than words similar to the new word.

Love it really do...but can anyone explain to me why its impossible to type the letter u by itself? even if i save it as a word it will ALWAYS autocorrect to "i"...
[Android Apps and Games] caspar.chan:

you can choose from the word list or turn-off Curve by slide on the spacebar before typing the letter.

i'll send you post to Cootek and hope they could release a new fixed version.

Advise to devs...current Swype method works strictly off of the first letter pressed at the beginning of the Swype. This is annoying and imo a flaw. For example say you want to Swype "the", if you accidentally press "Y" first its impossible for "the" to be a word selection.

I just find this annoying/odd.
[Android Apps and Games] phillysdon04:
I agree
[Android Apps and Games] ithehappy:
Been using this for a while and I've found a little problem. If you type a non english word, say 'Taj Mahal', then why does it select other words instead of what I've typed? I know that it's not possible to type a non English word with Swype or TouchPal Curve enabled, thus I typed it manually and it resulted weird! I played with all the settings in Smart Input option but couldn't find anything successfully! The only way I can stop it by disabling the Prediction to Off but that also disables the function of Auto Capitalisation. If someone can help me I'd be very grateful.

This is what I get if I try to type the word 'Taj Mahal',

You can see that I've to select and tap Mahal to type properly, otherwise it results as Shake!, the word Shake is the second option but its selected automatically instead of the word Mahal!

There are many more non english words with which I am having this problem. It takes an awful lot of time to tap and select every word, basically I forgot to tap and it results a horrible article/meaning.

I am on version 4.8.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] caspar.chan:
Please try the Version 5.0 hotfix. just try click instead of swype when U type a non english word.

or, just slide the spacebar from left to right to turn-off the Word Prediction.

hope could help u.
[Android Apps and Games] caspar.chan:
sent to the dev already and hope the next version could fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] ithehappy:
Thanks fyi.

I installed the V5 Hotfix version and it took me at least 10 mins to turn on TouchPal Curve as it was completely disabled. Then downloading English QWERTY activated the option and I enabled it. Well this is maybe only me, but I don't like the Swyping animation (sky blue one), the color is very lame and hard to understand where I am swiping! Old one was better with a bold blue color.

Beside all that the problem I stated still persists :(. I am NOT swiping on the Non English letters, but clicking it, still it is choosing/predicting words, thus I've to tap on the word. This problem doesn't exist in the normal swype (the built in one I mean). If you click type on it then it doesn't suggest anyword, even when swype is enabled. It only suggest words when you physically swype. The same should option should be included in TP too. Besides, if you Turn Off Word Prediction then TouchPal Curve also gets disabled, this is very annoying IMO.

Back to 4.8 for now, and using the built in swype for now with a high hope of getting back to TP soon, if the problem goes away.

I hope I've made my problem clear enough to understand. If you still have any problem please let me know.

Good Luck.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] frankenfoo:
hi! just to share, i tried to type Mahal on v5, the first time like u mentioned, the 2nd word was auto selected. so i select Mahal manually.

subsequently when i type Mahal, Mahal will be the highlighted word will be auto selected. and if i swipe, the word Mahal also came up automatically.

tried some other non english words too, first time need to manual select but subsequent entering same word, it will be choosen.

btw i also felt the swipe animation too cartoonish for my liking, so i disabled it :)
[Android Apps and Games] rexboy:
As in your example, this only occurs for the first instance. Once you select the first entry (upper left), it learns this word so the next time you swype, trace whatever, the word mahal will appear so i dont see it as a big deal really.

Next time you swype the word mahal, you can even hold down on that word and it gives you the option of increasing how regularly you use that word so it increaes its chances of becoming more visible.

I think its a great keyboard overall :-)

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

Agree 100%, dont see it as an issue at all. On another note, i actually dont mind the swipe animation so atleast it gives users options of those who like it or not, and then you can turn it off if you wish
[Android Apps and Games] BenRoark:
Thank you VERY MUCH to the dev for sharing this software. Really slick product, mate. It absolutely nails all of the previous swipe-style keyboards that I've used. Very impressive, and just keeps getting better with time.
