Always backup before doing any mods to your device.
This keyboard should work on most Froyo Roms. I have ony tested it on CM-6-09282010-NIGHTLY-Inc.
If the keyboard FC's try installing the attached zip.
Please post the rom you're on and whether it works or not. So others will know. Thanks!
Enjoy!

Thx!

I installed it but nothing changed. How do I switch to the keyboard?
Nevermind after reboot it showed up. It looks good and works well on skyraider.

Thanks it works great!

ShadowROM. I had a multitouch keyboard already installed and was able to install this over it, if that matters.

In your pictures you have a button for smilely faces. How does one get that?

That is usually when you have a text client like google voice or hand cent up and running.

Won't work for me on Virtuous. I'd really like to use this keyboard, any ideas?
Edit: Got it working on Virtuous, had to install with root explorer. LOVE THE KEYBOARD! NICE JOB, and THANKS!

That will only show on some mms apps it depends on the rom your on. It will also show on a few other apps. Try gtalk.

Thanks for the share. I saw this in the X section this morning. WJD rocks. Works great on uncommon.

Well, after I rebooted my phone the keyboard went back to its default appearance. Not sure what to do to make it stick.
Sent from my Incredible using Tapatalk.

Works fine for Virtuous, just takes up the whole screen and it may be my theme, but I can see text input screen behind it. Besides that it works perfect.

Yes, not surviving a reboot on virtuous. How do we fix this?
Update: wierd thing, i went to reapply the file for the 3rd time and the file is just gone. Where did it go?

Works great on Ruby 1.1.1.

This works for MIUI, however the font is miscroscopic. Any way to crank up the font? Maybe it's the rom doing it...

Works beautifully with Uncommon Sense v1.0.

any way to change the color of the keypress to something... white or gray maybe? oh, and also i could do without the droid x eye, but it doesnt bother me much since i dont use the voice option much

Did you use Jonasi's posted in the Nexus One theme section. I haven't tried but his has worked on every phone I've owned.

^^tried those versions as well and they just don't start at all.

Still have yet to get it working with a few modifications. Anyone?

This one works with the O2x, should also work with G2x

You can cook up your own customized HTC Keyboard. Just be sure to choose v27-optimus-2x when asked for a version number. I built a cyan and blue keyboard with 3d shaded buttons last night and it's working great. Good stuff...give it a try.

Tried both and don't like either. For certain reasons i have been using Smart Keyboard. Just my opinion as I always have searched for the ideal KB with manual customization, enlarging buttons, increasing haptic, etc...
If swift has all of this, then maybe I didn't give it enough time however I don't like hopping around.

You can enlarge the buttons in smart keyboard? How? I would like to use the entire space so that the buttons actually are touching each other instead if having small spaces in between them.
I need a keyboard with arrow keys, so far smart keyboard is the only one that does the trick for me. Sense and GB keyboard both lack it

I actually use an old version of "shape writer" that is a non market app that I found either on xda or android central forums.
Easily the best swipe style keyboard I've ever tried. And I've tried a LOT

Sense keyboard is awesome imo. works great. previously i own a nexus one. the keyboard keeps giving me problem. that prompt me to sell it away =\. great phone though

Luv'n gingerbread keyboard!

I'm using the 3vo keyboard and it's pretty good. It's just a modified Gingerbread keyboard. SwiftKey X is probably my favorite though.

GB keyboard. i like the arrow keys.

Sorry for late reply. (SMART KEYBOARD).
Settings>general settings>key height(there you can manage height & width).
And if needed there is an option to pad the bottom of keyboard for "added lift ".
1 of the best features, are the addition of free skins in options. Just one tap and you can have almost any other keyboard variant.
Side note-Not sure if "pro version" varies as I only have this.

im not 100% sure but i was lookin at it the gb keyboard in the market and i notice there are two versions of the keyboard. one free one paid. the description under the paid version mentions this option while the free one doesnt. so i am guessing that only the paid version has this feature. but im just takin a guess here. sowy

HTC desire s keyboard choice

What keyboard are you fellow desire s owners using? I'm using the smarkeyboard app. Using the Samsung galaxy keyboard. I didn't like the stock android one as the buttons were to small. The stock HTC one doesn't look as good as the galaxy one.

Just installed Swype today and i'm pretty impressed at how cleverly it finds the correct words.. Already swyping at fine speed.. about my language problem,, i'm adding words to the dictionary and hope i soon finish adding all daily routing words..
It looks like it's a New Generation version of T9.. lol.. just a random thought.

That's a very valid point

i tried swype but cant get used to it...

@det
Indeed. I used to type like this using t9 on my old Sony Ericsson w800i. Swype gives you quite the same feelings.
Anyways, pretty interesting experience so far. @Droid.. I would suggest you to give it another shot. It might be hard for the first time but it's fun afterwards.
Swyped from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

I use swipe, it is the best keyboard

Smart Keyboard PRO
Tried swype for a while but didn't get used to it..
had to constantly fix words that it autocompleted/suggested.
I'll give it another try sometime.

Love Swype.
It also works as a 'tappy' keyboard which is great for times when I'm not likely to have enough coordination to squiggle in an appropriate line for my words

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.

This guy pulled it from his GNEX: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25592151&postcount=7

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.
