Is it just my phone, or does anyone else have the problem where using the droid x multi touch keyboard fc's with the FroYo update?
EDIT...running deodexed froyo with netarchy kernel and riptide theme.
I just installed it and yeah it is force closing on me too.
Have you played around with swype yet?...it is really bad ass.

If you haven't seen yet, the htc froyo keyboard now supports multi-touch, just throwing that out there.
I'm still using swype too btw, but the stock option is really quite nice.
Very true about the multi touch on the stock group sense keyboard. I like it. I however dislike the sound of the space and the enter. If anyone could verify the change it would be great.

NO it does not work. It will not work until Froyo comes out on the DroidX and someone ports over the new version.
Look at this thread, someone has a Droidx running 2.2
I still use swype (quite frequently). However, I still prefer pecking for really long posts for whatever reason.
And yeah...I did realize that the new HTC keyboard does have multitouch and a better word correction system...so I guess this keyboard is obsolete now

I'll take no credit for this and I'll not be responsible for anything you do to your phone.
tested and working on my dinc cyanogenmod 6.1 nightly 173
edit: here is a working version posted from the other thread. supposedly multi touch and predictions work. I haven't tested it yet myself.
Works pretty nice but kind of a disappointment that its not multitouch. I font get why they would release a non multitouch keyboard as a new release bit overall its really smooth and responsive.

Completely agree I don't know how someone in there right mind thought it would be a good idea at this point in time to release a non myltitouch keyboard. I definitely itely felt like it was slowing me down.

This has working text prediction baked in, multitouch and works on most build I tested it on (CM6, Myn's, RR, MIUI) not working on Desire z.
Working Gingerbread Keyboard
Got FC when trying on DesireZ.
I thought i read somewhere that it was multi-touch. Sucks that its not.
the port I posted is in fact multitouch. go check it out!

Fantastic news. I was just responding to peoples reports of lack of multi touch. Would definitely try it but I'm on a desire z rom.
one of the catch 22's of life I suppose...
I can confirm that it works on senseless revolution.
I feel like the space bar is much smaller though. Feels like I am hitting the v key instead of the space bar more than normal. But definitely feels very responsive

Works and looks great on UltimateDroid 2.0.3. The best ROM just got even better!
Works on virtuous everything is great on it but I do miss my Smileys being two clicks away. Also this didn't replace my stock keyboard which is nice
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Not sure what you guys are seeing but definitely not multitouch try typing the word he. With miltitoucj you could leave your finger on the h and press the e and the word would register. Instead with my right thumb still on h and pressing e with my left thumb it continually registers the h button. Not true myltitouch.

IISiDeK1CKII's port works perfectly (mutli-touch chording, prediction, etc.) on my Droid Inc running SkyRaider 3.3.4 with the Adrenelyn v2 kernel.
I love the new keyboard. So much better the only thing i will miss is the swipe up to get to numbers on the 2.2 keyboard.
Is there any way to gett the droid multitouch keyboard to work on the stock 2.3.3 rom? I cant get acquainted with another keyboard after using that one for so long...lol
same problem here cant find the key board for 2.3.3
I've been waiting FOREVERRRR for this.

Close enough? Basically the same, new features. Google or XDA search Gingerbread keyboard for 2.3 etc. There are many thems and mods too. I'm running a blue Ginger keyboard on MikG 2.3 (Android 2.3.3) right now.
It might be more of a mail app issue.. but the new keyboard has the send etc buttons over the message body when in landscape mode. The old one didn't do that. I'm looking for one closer to the old multi-touch keyboard because of that.
Lots of keyboards for the EVO HERE
Hello all,
Is their a better keyboard for this phone? I really dont like the ones it comes with. Also what about the spell checker? Is that part of the keyboard program?
What ones are you using?
Thanks
join the swype beta.
http://beta.swype.com
Once you go Swype, you never go back.
If you don't like Swype style, try the Gingerbread keyboard on the Market.
Smart keyboard

I've always liked the Gingerbread kb! But, Smart is also cool...
I only use swype when I only have 1 hand available, but I mainly use gingerbread keyboard pro from market cause I can make the spacebar super big on it (I normally miss it when it's small lol)

Is there a keyboard where you could turn the phone sideway and it shows you the keyboard as well as the screen? I don't like how it only shows you the keyboard.

Better Keyboard 8. I previously used it with the I/O skin & it could splitscreen.
Smart Keyboard FTW.

I tried all the rest, used Swype for a year, then switched to SwiftKey. Best keyboard hands down. You won't regret it. Free beta on the market.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
For me and for now I use the flext9, which is powered by dragon. But I already paid for it a while ago. But I suggest use what others have already said. Try the beta swype for yourself and see if you like it. I have used swype and would get pissed at it when it got buggy...yes I know its a beta , but I would go to another kb. The GB kb is great for a plain jane kb, also, swiftkey X beta works well too.
If I were you, I would try all the free versions of kbs, starting with the most popular to what you like and narrow it down from there.
Smart Keyboard Pro. I've had it since my Nexus one days, and it's still the best.
Thanks everyone, I will check them all out after work today.
I wouldnt mind also trying a new browser, any suggestions? I know a little bit of whats out there but still learing.
Thanks again everyone.
only swype ... still best //

ive heard a lot of good stuff about swift but i feel like my fingers r to fat for it so i make mad mistakes and i theres no option to turn auto-capitalization off?
SwiftKey is very good at predicting text even with fat fingers
As far as the browser goes, I prefer opera.

Swiftkey X has the option to add arrows in the kb. FTW!
To this day I still believe that the keyboard from the Droid x or Droid 2 is the best keyboard to come out. It has huge keys and is very quick to type on. But for some reason it doesn't play nice with gingerbread roms. I can push the apk/lib file to system and lib on Skyraider 4.3 and it works just fine. But using the exact same method it doesn't work on CM7.
Does anyone have any insight into why this is (because SR4.3 is GB leak based)? Or can someone fix it up for cyanogen? My knowledge on this is pretty limited. Thanks in advance.

Skyraider is a 2.2 based rom.
I dint have any other info, sorry, just fyi. I loved that keyboard the most as well but the gingerbread keyboard is almost as good.

You're right my mistake, he just put in some pieces from GB not the base. And the GB is almost as good, but the key size from the X one is what really draws me. Plus I think it looks nice. And yeah that's what I was wondering if it could be pulled out of the update, which is beyond my skill set.

I've been looking for this for months and haven't had any luck. Hopefully someone figures something out.
Until someone finds a fix, I downloaded the keyboard app called MultiLing Keyboard from the market, and seems to work good. the keyboard is almost identical to the droid x keyboard. Also you can change the settings and increase the keys/font size.
I'm not one for stock keyboards, but this thing is amazing so far.
Before I load a custom ROM, anyone know where I can get a zip of this so I can reinstall it later on?
you will still have Sense keyboard if you flash a custom ROM, Except from AOSP ROMs. But the keyboard isnt compatible with them anyway

Awh.
I planned on flashing to CM9 once it became more stable, and I believe that is an AOSP rom.

I had to use an iPhone keyboard for about 2 months after my mytouch4G broke, so maybe it's easily impressed coming from the iPhone keyboard
this is the worst keyboard ever.
ICS STOCK or swiftkey is the only way
yeah, just get the latest SwiftKey beta (it's free):

Not a fan of Swiftkey honestly.
I really do like the Sense keyboard. Leaps and bounds better than the stock ICS keyboard or any of the other flavors. Just my opinion though
I like the sense kb...better at typing than swype but you can still swype words when you want.

Agreed. It's funny, I like the arrows on other keyboards, but the magnifying glass selection popup window is awesome and kinda negates the need for it.

Im a big fan of AI keyboard.. has pretty nifty features. (Paid app is worth it imo)
But has a free version too.

I actually like the sense keyboard, but the voice button bugs the crap out of me. I hit it constantly.
I personally really like the Sense Keyboard.
Dont know if all ICS-Keyboards have Swype, but thats the best thing about it.
Normally when writing I switch to Landscape, but I always touch the "Back" or "Home" Buttons ...
I guess no alternate Keyboard can fix that ^^
Like I said, I like the Keyboard and I will stay with a ROM which atleast got that Keyboard somehow implemented ... or atleast Swype ^^
I love the HTC keyboard. I have swipe and swiftkey installed and have only used them once. HTC did a great job on it in my opinion.
Yea the keyboard is nice and better than swype in my opinion hell it even recognizes slang and curse words
