Gingerbread Keyboard

Here is the gingerbread keyboard - mostly compliments of AndroidBruce. I got another version working from my own SDK - but it is really slow compared to this one for some reason. MD5's on the so and apk are the same ????? oh well here is this one if anyone wants it.
Flash as an update.zip - this was only tested by me on stock dk28.
To enable go to settings > Locale and Text > check Android Keyboard.
I had to go up to select input method 3 times to get it it show up in the list...
Known issues:
Seems that user dictionary doesn't work...i'll look into it.
Perks:
it's multitouch, and best of all its not swype (I feel a "Swype is awesome" remark coming)

Differences from this version?

I flashed it. Its just the stock android keyboard with multi touch. I'll keep my swype
Thanks anyways!

They got the Auto correct working. The only thing not working is the vibrate on touch. You guys should collaborate.. Thanks for the hard work...

I give this 12 hours before I merge with the other thread...in fact I might just move both of them to the Apps section

I don't think this counts as an app or theme. Its a PORT that needs continuing DEVELOPMENT to function 100%.
Anyways, the other one I tried made me have to restore because its only for deodexed ROMs. I don't wanna install a rom. I like stock. Will it make me have to restore again?
Ps, I know you said its on stock, butdo you mean the .tar stock or acs rom (which is also considered stock deodexed I think...idk lol)

Thanks for porting the app. Hopefully, all features will be working soon.
I'd say that with this new keyboard, all of the custom keyboards are now largely obsolete. It also renders the hardware keyboard less useful than before, although it's still useful (I'm using the hardware keyboard right now) for longer messages.

Per Swype's website, it says it won't work with phones that have this pre-installed.
Can anyone confirm?

More than likely this just means that you have to be in the swype beta and that your keyboard isn't going to automatically update.

I used Titanium backup to freeze the pre-installed swype then i just install the beta fine and everything works fine.

Tapping to text definitely feels nicer on the latest version of swype. The look of the suggestion bar is also vastly improved.

I think that's part of their Honeycomb-exclusive distro.
Also, be sure to uninstall your current version of Swype beta before installing the new one. If you run the installer while Swype 2.x is installed it will NOT update.

after i turned the phone off and turned it back on the swype started messing up and wouldn't open again i had to reinstall the old one to get it to work so idk

Weird, mine has been working all day. Even through a rom and kernel update. Maybe try fixing permissions.

So all I need to do is "uninstall" the stock Swype and then the beta will install?

How is black Swype different?
Is it just the color of the keys? Or is the whole keyboard smaller? A smaller swype keyboard that doesn't take up so much of the screen would be great.

I have the tablet beta installed which is black and orange and it's very small in portrait, and half screen in landscape.

Has anyone got a version that is scaled?
This is scared too small for the note.
I would love a themed swype though! In black pref

Awhile ago i was playing around with voice settings trying to get a different voice (for navigation, etc) & ever since then i lost the Mic on the swype keyboard.
So I downloaded & installed this black swype (to try & get the mic back) & deleted the system one like a post in this thread advised & now I've lost swype completely :-(
Any suggestions? Or maybe I'll just wait till i update the firmware or wait till ics?

ICS Stock Keyboard on One X?

Anyone know if there is a way to install the stock ICS keyboard on the AT&T One X? In videos I've seen of the HOX, the built in keyboard looks dreadful...especially with those navigation arrows that take up the entire bottom row of the keyboard. I loved the stock ICS keyboard when I had the Galaxy Nexus so is it possible to install it?

Yes, I think Tim Hutt has it, all he did was remove dependencies so that it would run on all devices.

Thanks. So far so good. No FCs. And it doesn't bring up the keyboard menu in the notification bar

I can vouch. I just installed it on my AT&T One X and it works 100%. So much better for me since it's similar to the iPhone like numbers, symbols, etc location being on the left side vs the right side.
I was typing so slow due to this. 100% better now

Yup. Installed it. Went into settings then local and keyboard and enabled it. Open an app and try to type something and go to the notification bar and switch it

Amazing keyboard and very easy to install. I uploaded it to google drive and opened it using the google drive app.

I don't know why you guys are going through all this effort when there are already ICS stock keyboards that have been ported that are available on the Play store.
I installed this one and it works great.

I totally agree, this one is in my opinion even better. Out of the box the default vibration on keypress is a little strong but if gives you the option to lower the strength to be closer to the stock ICS keyboard.
In advanced settings I changed the timing from 100ms to 25ms and its perfect.

Exactly, I set mine to 28 and Im good. I didnt like having to hit the extra key just to get to the question mark and I kept hitting the arrow button instead of the space bar.

Stock ICS Keyboard Issue

Anyone else having problems with recorrection using the stock ICS keyboard? I thought it was working when I first installed it but doesn't seem to be the case anymore. On my Xoom or N1 running stock ICS, if I place my cursor back on a word I've previously typed it will bring back up the auto-correct suggestions, so you can choose the correct one (like if it didn't guess right). Most people familiar with the ICS kb are likely familiar with this feature.
Any feedback appreciated, this is one of the best features of the keyboard.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I've tried clearing the app data of the KB. No dice.

Apparently its been a really long week.... "recorrection" is only allowed in certain circumstances. I was not using it correctly. If a mod sees this, please close. Thanks.

is this keyboard better than the one from the market?

I've been using it since the guy posted it. I think it's just as good as the one from the market if not better. Reminds me I need to thank that guy...

The keyboard icon shows up when you have more than one available keyboard. That's how you choose which one to use.

On every other android phone I've owned you could have as many keyboards as you wanted enabled without annoying popup icons. It seems that icon is there no matter what keyboard you're currently using unless you disable them in the keyboards settings menu.
