Keyboard works fine on DarchDroid without any modifications. Just push it to /system/app (as LatinIME.apk of course) no vibrate on key press but sound works.

So you suggest I change the file name and then push via ADB?? I tried just installing it from the sd card and it says it installed fine but when I try and switch to it in a text message, the keyboard never loads.

Well it is supposed to be multi-touch and from some folks, they are saying it is a bit faster than the stock keyboard. Just wanted to try it out.

Nah...I went back. Nice eye candy but maybe I am just used to stock.
Supposedly its a hell of a lot more accurate because you can hit two keys at once, even if it is accidental.

Keyboard seems to work pretty good so far. One thing I really dont like is the spacebar seems to only have a specific spot that you can press even though it looks big. Other than that so far so good.

No joke I thought it was just me...Great keyboard so far...
FYI, some can use this and some can't because it requires libraries from the stock Android keyboard, which Sense-based ROMs usually don't have.
To use, just install the vanilla Android keyboard first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5874235#post5874235
Then install the APK for the Droid X keyboard. You can either push it to /system/app or just click on it in your file manager like a normal apk.

After doing that it won't let me install the multi-touch one: (
Ok, I re-zipped the APK to incorporate the missing libraries, so you can even use it on a non-rooted phone. No need to use the flashable version if this one works for you. Install it like any app:

Heres the Swype keyboard that should be compatible with the Incredible. Haven't tested it but seems as some people got theirs early...here is it.
MOD EDIT FOR WAREZ
EDIT:I fixed how it was downloading as a .dat file. It now downloads as an .apk. Enjoy.
Thanks
Thanks for this!
Another thanks.
Extension?
I downloaded the file and there is no extension. Is this a .zip, .rar, .apk ?
I have my Incredible and the file I got from Android Central does not work. Says my resolution is invalid. Hoping this one will fare better.
It's an apk. Just install it like you would an apk. Put it on your SD card, then use linda file manager to navigate then just click it and select package installed. Then go to local and text or whatever in your main phone settings. Select swype. then in the text field long click and select input method then swype.

It downloaded as a .dat, so I just renamed the extension as an .apk and it worked fine with Astro.
My only problem is that it won't let me use it! I checked the Swype box, and it worked in the tutorial, but if I go anywhere else (Search, Messaging, etc.) it's just the stock Sense VK.

Yeah but you don't have to be as accurate with Swype as with a conventional keyboard.
Any ideas on making Swype the universal default?
EDIT: Never mind, I got it to work after tap-n-holding a text box and selecting Swype.
I feel like I'm the only person who doesnt like swype. I dont know what it is. :/

the stock keyboard uses approximation.. so if you hit G and you meant F it will use the one that makes more sense... and also give you the other as an option in the suggestion field... it works very nicely for a tap.. there is 2 swype type keyboard in the market also.. shapewriter is good for free also... I think the swype dictionary may be alot bigger though
Actually with the touchscreen on the incredible it reads finger nails stylus normal finger and gloves. Haven't tested stylus or gloves but finger nails work 100% Try it. It's insane.
And swipe works awesome. This phone is ten times better then the omnia. Get it. **** the Samsung junk.

Yup!
(Nandroid of course, and reboot after push.)
In the Froyo release, normal Music.apk is called MusicGoogle.apk, there's also an odex in /system/app i had to get rid of. (MusicGoogle.odex)
Code:
adb remount
adb push Music.apk /system/app/MusicGoogle.apk
That will replace the default, you can also push to Music.apk if you want to keep it. If you DO replace it, you have to remove the odex file, i used root explorer but you can do it via adb or term i guess. =P

Nice mod, thank you for that!
Just wanted to inform y'all that the Droid X multitouch keyboard is compatible with 2.1 G1 and MT3G phones
To install it you have to first remove the LatinIme.apk default keyboard that comes with the rom.
then push the file. I've already renamed it to LatinIme.apk for you
OR just copy and paste it in Root Explorer and give it the correct permissions
hope y'all enjoy!

EDIT:
some ppl have asked what works and what doesn't. As far as I know, I'm not aware of exactly how this operates on the droid X as far as multitouch, but yes multitouch does work in terms of what i expected. the keyboard will recognize another letter after one finger has just touched one. But the & thing on the keyboard, idk how to fix

There is no porting involved as stated in his post. He merely ripped it from a Droid X rom I'm guessing.

Lol its not that simple. If u notice in the keyboard if u press ?123 it shows & instead of &. That shows he decompiled the app.
Refer to this thread where i "ported" it. Link
Basically to port this app u gotta remove the shared uid and resign it. But that screws up the & symbol, hence once u modify wht u gotta do is replace the res folder of the modified apk with that of the original apk, resign and install.
I don't know much about developing guys honestly. I just downloaded the Droid X dump, did a little bit of reading and got this thing to work.
the sad part is lol, in spite of all that hard work i did(well hard for me at least), i just found out Droidlife posted a droid x keyboard as well :|....

lol yes it loads, but all you have to do is wait because it is not doing the animation so it looks like it is frozen. i was patient and tested saying "Hello how are you man" and it picked it up exactly word for word.

I've been searching all day, and I can't get a working copy of the Froyo HTC_IME APK.
Does anyone have it, or have the ability to rip it? I really wish I didn't have to request it here but I've exhausted all my attempts here to find it.
Help would be really appreciated. I'm currently running Damage Control 3.5 which didn't get official Froyo Sense keyboard. The mod does not have arrows, which is necessary for EVO users.

Thanks. For some reason, however, it says "Application Not Installed". Any reasons as to why this is happening?
Again, I'm running DamageControl 3.5.
I did, while waiting for a reply, find a backup made by Titanium that includes the keyboard as system data. I could not run a restore for it though. It feels like I just will never get that keyboard back unless I flash a new ROM.
So, out of the options below, what's my best move?
1. Troubleshoot the installation error.
2. Troubleshoot Titanium
3. Flash a different ROM
This might seem like too much for a single keyboard, but you don't know how much I miss those arrows...

Anyways dude, the froyo keyboard is nice, so I could see why you want it. I've tried swype, and just plain deleted that gimpsta crap after like an hour (its nice for people who can't theme, but just ugly compared to a themes froyo).
To rip the apk, just download a stock Rom, open the zip, and it should be in system/app/. From there, u have to adb push it to the system/app/ folder of your own.phone.
Another alternative would be downloading a stock Rom n deleting literally everything in the zip minus the HTC_IME and flashing it.

Hey! I'm not really sure whats up with that. I am downloading DC right now to see whats inside. I made a new flashable. Maybe it will work. Before you flash it i would remove any extra keyboards you may have installed. Then also look in your /system/app/ folder and see if there are multiple copies of htc_ime.apk. there really should be only one. lastly, i would go to >settings>applications>manage>all>TouchInput>Clear defaults(dunno if you can do this) but maybe clear data. Then reboot recovery and flash this file. Maybe it wasnt working because it needed the clicker.apk as well.
Hope something works for ya. These files are from fresh so maybe that is why they don't work. ???
Has anyone figured out how to get this keyboard to work on cyanogen?
What exactly is the clicker?
I just ripped the APK from my Stock Froyo install for HTC_IME.apk, which should be the right keyboard. I have the clicker installed from that other HTC_IME Mod apk that's been around for a while, but that's not the multitouch version and doesn't have the arrow keys.
I'm going to see if the same hacks the guy who hacked the first one will work on this new APK. But I can't play around with it yet.
Check out APKtool to decompile the APK and look at the source for the other HTC_IME mod to kind of see what he did.
I too would like to use it in my CM install.
the clicker is what allows you to calibrate/recalibrate the touch input

I have learned so many things... and yet, just figured this out.... sometimes i wonder about myself and my sanity,.
on topic now, i think the touch input keyboard requires more than one apk to be installed, or an apk and a library.

For anyone else who gets this error you just need to turn off signature verification. I like the new keyboard, though I thought you could hold shift with one finger and press the number you wish (Like a PC keyboard) but maybe I just picked that up wrong from the youtube vid.
Deleted android keyboard with titanium backup. Boot into recovery and apply zip. Works beautifully.

So is this a patch that needs to be flashed over the original file or is it the entire keyboard and everything? just so i know for future reference since i flash new roms all the time, dont want to be flashing two keyboard files if i dont have to.
Looks like the BlindType technology/code/whatever definitely has not been implemented? At least not yet.
Yes I am running the word prediction fix, but the text input in the BlindType promo video does not even come close to being recognized with this keyboard.
Bummer. Still pumped for the new software though.

if you're using the latest version of ra recovery, you have to disable verification and it will work

Yeah I agree, blindType is clearly not implemented but its still a great improvement. just imagine how amazing this thing will be once its implemented!
In reply to everyone here, if you already flashed the original file, just flash the other one over it as an update. No, it doesn't need to be renamed.

i disabled verification and flashed and got a fc, i deleted the android kb in titatium and all the latinIME.apks in system/app and system/app_store
and reflashed, now i cant even select android kb as an option
Wow, this keyboard is fantastic.
some way to work in predicting other languages, such as
Spanish?
Can we use this on the MT4G ROM that Evil made? Or is it only CM6.1?
Thanks a lot for sharing the fixed version! I just flashed it in Recovery (without uninstalling anything) and it worked like a charm.
My reaction:
Better than the Froyo keyboard by a fair amount, but by no means mindblowing. I bet on a slightly larger screen it will be the bee's knees. I kind of miss the swipe-up to display numbers/symbols and am still getting used to losing another line of screen real estate to the permanently-visible line of punctuation marks, but it will definitely be more useful.
Aside from pressing and holding the keys marked with a number, is there any other way to entire a string of numbers consecutively? I tried holding the shift key and tapping on numbers, but that only seems to cycle between shift-modes.
And finally, I think in the Gingerbread thread someone joked that the keyboard looks like it's Halloween themed. I'm inclined to agree
Overall-- pretty swell!
Tried on MIUI rom, it seems definitely less impressive than what I thought it was going to be. No more sliding up :/ no multi-touch :/ and not a big improvement on fast typing errors. But I really like the colors! Maybe it just doesn't work very well because it's on froyo and MIUI?
