Droid X multitouch Keyboard (tested with 32B) - G1 Android Development

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 &amp thing on the keyboard, idk how to fix

what folder do you paste it in root explorer

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 &amp 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 :|....

If u guys dont want to read through that nexus thread, lets face its long, heres the last apk i did for 2.1 users.
Status:
&symbol fixed
Vibrate/Dictionary dont work
Sound works

Pushed onto Chromatic 3.5 on my G1. Works great, thanks.

U froyo users, after modifying a lot of crap, i got it in a decent working condition

Status:
Voice,dictionary,vibrate doesnt work

U get a force-close when typing inside message body, everywhere else it works.

Can anyone share on what commands to use in order to pus the file with ADB? I have adb installed but can't seem to get it.

Great keyboard

Uhhh, I dunno how you got that to work. I just pushed it and voice as well as vibrate do not work. Voice merely loads, but actually doesn't function correctly. The dictionary does correctly auto-suggest words however.

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 tested and know vibrate doesn't work but that was never an issue for me because I don't ever use vibrate (it can cause lag and slightly eats battery life).

Voice should work with no problems. I have tried on several occasions, its quite accurate. Hmm auto-suggest does work, and wow it does pickup the words from the dictionary.
Cool so only thing not working is vibrate, ill look into it some more but they've done some wierd crap, they're using vibratepattern instead of vibrateduration

Swype Keyboard for Incredible

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.

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.

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:

Themed Swype

Different colors at the bottom, delete the color from the file name when placing on sdcard. i.e. blueupdate.zip > update.zip
MUST BE DEODEXED
All Swypes have matching tracers
All these are for 2.2, there is no reason you shouldnt be on 2.2
Original images from bilbobrian, just some extra days on my part getting it to you
As always do a back up
If on 2.2 and have boot strapper installed to use this update .zip, throw it on sd card, open droid x bootstraper reboot to recovery, apply update.zip, reboot done!
........ without bootstrapper method...........
if you want just the apk for a different color just extract it from the update.zip file
use root explorer or other app to make a copy of your original app ( its in system/app)
First you must remove swype.apk from system/app
any way of your choosing, terminal or adb, then reboot.
follow the following directions
Put the .apk on your sdcard, navigate to it with astro or your fav file browser, open the apk and choose install. If it still says only gives you the option to uninstall, you didnt uninstall correctly.
if you can get it to show up after install go into settings and keyboard and make sure swype is checked
DONE
................ If you somehow botched it...............
restore your back up.
If you were careless enough to not do a back up and your on 2.2 get a clean download here.. MY droid world 2.2 follow those instructions.
then download file again, your last one might of been bad. When in recovery go to mounts and mount system, then install the zip
..........................................................................
Red
Blue to match galaxy s
original 2.1 theme for 2.2 w/ grey tracer swype icons are off, im working on it
Green w/ green tracer
Orange
Black w/ white trace now in less blurry flavor
Themed stock keyboard
Dark Blue
Pink Page 11 for screenie
For all those that pm me to buy me a
BEER , this is how. Dont forget about the original creator of the images, bilbobrian
Thanks, I had this theme on my incredible. Going to install it when I get home.
Thank you so much! This is awesome!
Fantastic work! Thanks

Finally got the Black Droid Does themed swype working. This is for the X only, landscape mode is different than other versions out there.
Want it?
First you must take full responsibility for the actions you are about to take.
Download the attached link. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QVWKWYK8 Put the .apk on your sdcard.
*optional (using astro or root explorer) Navigate to your system/app folder, find the existing swype.apk and rename to .bak
Open terminal emulator on your X
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Swype.apk /system/app
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Open a text box and verify. Its that easy
This cannot be done by copy and paste in root explorer.
Credit goes to
teenfaces (xdaforum) for the code used to make this work
bilbobrian (xdaforums) I think he themed this for other phones (please correct me if it wasnt originally him)

No, idea. Why would you have a different swype than me? Might want to try to delete your original swype (by root explorer) then just install mine.

Do you have a buy me a 6 button? can't see it from tapatalk but I'll gladly click when opportunity comes... I have the same issue...

Great looking skin though.
I can upload the apk straight from my settings, but need to know how to do out straight from my phone.... I'm on the road
op updated, praise the android gods for wireless tether.
New apk straight from my settings and one that i just removed the mic pngs from.
The stats for download said 28 downloads, so is this a hit or miss with peoples phones?
If your removing the swype before pushing this one try leaving it there then push the new one. That is how I did it. Strange thing is if you open up the apk and look at the images there is no button for the mic....
Im not going to be able to tether tomorrow, will have spotty service at best. I will try and get on here when I can though, keep me posted.

I downloaded both of the links on the OP. the "NEW UPLOAD" file still showed the Voice Mic. The one labeled without mic (Duhh ) did indeed take the mic off my keyboard.
Seems to be working great. Thanks for your work.
I think I may just leave it as is it doesn't get in the way for me and it adds a little custom functionality

The Mic button DOES bring up Voice Search.
In a funny/related issue, my Swype Skin DOES NOT SHOW the mic, but if you press where it 'was', the voice search comes up anyway

You are correct. I never really use it, and it looks just like the Voice search box, so I just assumed it was the same.
Zaphod-- (for the geeks out there)
Ok, so i unstalled the themed swype, reinstalled the stock swype. It gave me the space for the mic button but did nothing when pressed. If anyone has the original still there does the mic appear on your and does it do anything?
Anyways, with the stock swype on my phone, recompiled a different themed swype and placed it on my phone. Still no mic button (was never in this build to begin with) and no voice search opens when tapping in that area.
Follow new link for v0.3 and new instructions.

[Request] Froyo HTC_IME APK

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.
-EDIT: If anyone knows how to rip it from a ROM, that information can help as well, as long as it's not too difficult. I can have a friend attempt to do that.

Awesome! Thanks major to the creator, gIMpSTa. And thanks to jonasl for the mod.
Yea the kitchen is convenient. Only thing is the XDA HTC_IME mod doesn't have multitouch or arrows like the official HTC one which is what he wants.

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...

I wish I had my comp, and I'd just post the apk.
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.

lol *shakes head* because I dont use the one with arrows. Plus it isn't inferior. And it is very easy to get. Again, you hate on me for sharing information.
Dude, it doesn't have multi touch n **** either.
I "hate on you" bc you don't answer questions, and instead post links to irrelevant ****. A link to gimpstas site isn't an answer to someone wanting the stock froyo keyboard.
You do this mess all the time guy. Just try answering a question straight out

I tried installing this but so far it has given me all kinds of issues where it force closed constantly, then after a reboot all the HTE_IME data was gone and I can't find it anywhere or install this one. Anyone have any ideas?
Normally I wouldn't bump so soon but this is the only keyboard I use and I could really use some help. Thanks

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
Did anyone get the 2.2 keyboard running in AOSP roms yet?

Ooops! guess I missed that.
Here is a flashable. Hopefully it will work.
I guess. Personally I like the modded ime because of all the customizations. I use volume buttons as arrows. To to each their own.

OMFG ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Months... months i tell you i have been using android. hero then evo. And i just now realize you can use the volume keys as arrows thanks to you. I have learned how to theme, i have learned how to customize stock ota's into custom rom's for myself, i have learned how to compile kernels from source by dual booting into my linux build. 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 me, flashing in recovery resulted in FC's
pushed LatinIme.apk via adb to /system/app/ and all is well
I installed through recovery after moving the .zip to the main directory on the sdcard. It was already defaulted when i restarted my phone.

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?
