So I have been thinking about how to write, how to install instructions. Some people can just extract the flashable zip folder, while others (myself included) have to flash it.
INSTALLYou can try one of two ways......... Extract the zip file, go to the sub folder /system/app, and install the "LatinIME.apk; or reboot into recovery and flash the zip file. Also, after I flashed the first time.... I wanted to delete it. So, I used adb commands. Now I can just install from memory card. I think once you get the file located in /system/lib in to /system/lib on the phone..... you can just delete the keyboard using adb commands, then just install from sd
CREDIT for the port goes to invisiblek. I have made the vibration stronger and fix the & key every where it is neeeded to be fixed. Also i have to thank zack.xtr for helping me with the 2.1 version. With his help I could do it by myself this time around. O yeah, I have to say thank you to bmtdan for pointing me to zack.xtr's post.
Even though it shows ". ," on the period key, it will NOT make a comma on a double tap. I had updates some xml documents, to see if they controlled this behavior. Turns out they only control what was displayed on the key.

I'm setting this up different. I'm going to have the main version then if that version has a hitchhikers version..... Just list it under it. thought more people would like Hitchhikers version, but numbers don't lie. IF anyone can help me find an Android icon (with a white outline around him), I will make an Android "Hitchhikers"version would look sweet.Best size would be 48x48 to 50x50.
With the Hitch Hiker keyboards, when you press "alt" Marvin's eyes will change colors. Settings key looks better then the picture

I am not the original creator of this keyboard. I simply ported it over, and left the red eye out. original version ishere.
Also, I for some reason can not get my update zip files to work. So, apk files only from here on out. (Unless I figure it out.)

REQUEST FORM
If you want one made for you, I need this info:
None pressed key color
alt key etc color (of the keys like alt, settings/symbols, smiley/go/next/etc key)
dot for alt lock color
pop up key color
letter color
suggestion bar color I think, from doing them custom colors..... it's better left untouched. But, if you insist.. I will
suggestion bar letter colors-one for recommended word and for regular word
if you want any fading of the colors let me know or blending of 2 colors
also, if you need a flashable zip or if an .apk will do.
NEW I'm finding some good icons for a lot of stuff,so want one.......... ask for one (football team, baseketball team, baseball team, etc....) would help if you provided it. But if I can find one, I will do it
Last thing lol......... For requested themes, they will be scattered through out this thread. Since a personal one I made for you it will have its own post, lost in the thread lol.
donations will NOT be accepted, and I am doing this for you. So, please don't try to rush me out of my procrastination! Also please wait untill I release it and don't ask for eta.

As far as your off topic goes...... I have lived in clifton too. Cincinnati seems so run down now lol
Dude im from cincy as well!
Hopefully the black/blue keyboard is next. Good job.
They will all be ported lol.

any one who tries to flash blackmtkb-signed.zip.......... let me know if it is successful. I deleted LatinIME.apk from /system/app, and when I flashed blackmtkb-signed.zip it failed. So I think when I deleted it from /system/app it didn't allow it to flash
Looks great and I want to try it. But if I install the apk (don't flash) will it re-write the default Android Keyboard?
I flashed a zip in a previous thread and had to restore a nandroid cause I want the option of the default Android or this.

I remember seeing someone wanting a green highlight , multi touch keyboard. So, I made it. Had to change the green dot to blue, so it would look better
I take no credit for making the keyboard work for our devices. I also didn't come up with the fix for the & key.
Thanks goes to zack.xtr we now have a WORKING black multi-touch keyboard. Want to also thank bmtdan for showing me zack.xtr's post. Black keyboard is attached, all credit goes to zack.xtr.
Just follow install instructions below.
Updated all with fixed "<" keyzack.xtr keyboard.

This is just a small mod someone posted they wanted, when the keyboard was first released, for Evo. They wanted the highlight to be green, so I made it green. As far as speed, I can't increase anything to make you type faster. In my opinion I type faster on this key board with less mistakes.

I'm trying to make the buttons and background black. It's my understanding (from modding the Omnia keyboard, on windows mobile) that xml files control the color of the letter on the keyboard. If it is like Windows, then there is a string in one of the xml documents. Inside the apk there are different xml documents, just can't figure the right one out, and what would control what.

I downloaded this through my phone, but it doesn't install. Says something about "no program to open this file". Is this supposed to install as simply as other apk's, or am I going about this wrong? I would love to have haptic feedback within the multitouch keyboard if possible.
thanks

This will NOT change the color of your status bar. This will only add a transparent background to the drop down bar and place the Droid on the bottom right corner.
***Make sure USB Debugging is checked under Settings>Application>Development***
Here's how it's done:
1. Download & install Stericson's NinjaMorph from the Market
2. Place your desired Droid image on your SDcard and rename it to status_bar_background.png (doesn't matter where you put it)
3. Launch NinjaMorph and click tap on New Project
4. Go to /system/framework/framework-res.apk (Files will get extracted and a backup is created automatically)
5. Go into /res/drawable-hdpi and find status_bar_background.png
6. Tap on the file and it will now ask you to find the image you want to replace it with
7. Find the file you placed on your SDcard and tap on it
8. You will get a warning asking if you're really sure you want to replace it (Tap Yes)
9. Tap on the blue arrow on the bottom right corner
10. Tap on Finish Project
11. Tap on framework-resapk (NinjaMorph will now package/create the apk)
12. You will get a warning asking if you're sure you want to overwrite the apk (Tap Yes)
13. You will now get a warning asking if you want to zipalign (I chose no)
14. Tap ok on the next warning
15. Choose if you want to delete the project
Your phone should now reboot automatically and you should have your new Droid on your drop down notification bar that looks like this.

So I'm trying to learn a little about themeing here (use to do BBs back in the day) and am taking baby steps I used this mod for a little while and decided to try to make it a lil more personal so I added my name. When pushed to my device it repeated the image over and over again as if to small... So I resized 480x770 and this is what I get, what am I doing wrong? It's supposed just like the original here just with Cadillac script beside it at the bottom...

Copy to SD card
Boot to Recovery (Disable lagfix if enabled)
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Install zip from SD
Reboot (boot will take awhile since dalvik was wiped, get used to this )
omg i cant wait till you get this out....its sexy!!!!!!
Will you be including the reboot, download and recovery to the shutdown menu?
i'm still learning and my first attempt at the bat mod was a failure so probably not any time soon. I want to get this one finished, phidelt/dcow might be able to help with those mods (they may be kernel/deeper rom based which is over my head at the moment )
Nice. The wife was bugging me to find her a pink or green theme. Good job two thumbs-up!

I kind of like not having to mount the sd card anyway but whatever floats your boat . Should have the final version done soon, testing attempt one now.
UPDATE: YAY TEST SUCCESS! If you're already on this theme you need to flash back to pnp then go download the updated link (i'm uploading now and will update the first post) usb is now working and batt mod is too! All that's left is getting the button text to white and fix the charge animation, but other than that this should be ready for daily use!
Downloaded. Backing up and then I'll test it. Thanks for fixing it so fast!
No prob, when you're done with that.. lol test this one ;
[updated main post with final version]
This should have a working charge animation thats hybrid (starts the animation from where you're charging from and what percentage it's at)
The first works as advertised and haven't found any problems you're not aware of.
I'll download the 2nd one now.
Which wallpaper are you using for the carbon fiber? can you link it?
Edit:
Have you noticed the progress bar seems to flicker? An example of this is when uninstalling an app. I'm not sure if it's supposed to do this as part of the animation however it appears that one of the frames may be reversed?
Also - when you add a shortcut to a contact it appears the frame that is usually around the picture is gone.

Have you noticed the progress bar seems to flicker? An example of this is when uninstalling an app. I'm not sure if it's supposed to do this as part of the animation however it appears that one of the frames may be reversed?
Also - when you add a shortcut to a contact it appears the frame that is usually around the picture is gone.

I'm not sure about the frame, i never paid much attention to that. As for the flickering, yes that is part of the animation as far as i know.
EDIT: Updated main post with final version!
Alright I think alot of us know about Swype on the droid X.
The beta is now open again, for all the android phones out there. It's realy easy to apply, and there's no wait, really, to get the swype keyboard. I myself abso-f**king-lutely LOVE it, because in landscape, the layout is a bit weird but you have a whole hell of a lot more space above the keyboard(all the better for scrolling and selecting your place in the text) plus, for me, even though i blazed on Smart Keyboard, im even faster with Swype.
You can apply for the beta here: http://beta.swype.com/
I don't know how long the beta opening will last. II were you and I wanted this keyboard, I'd go grab it ASAP. It's quite easy to install, by the way. Just make sure that your browser is in Android mode, not Desktop mode.(If it was Dolphin HD. YOu know what I mean, though, right?)
Screenshots coming soon, and will be on another post.
Here are the screenshots!

yes it's a nice keyboard! I am using from 1.xxx beta's! but they should provide an option to enable/disable smiley/enter and mic button! etc...
otherwise usability at its best!

You should Update it. There's still no disable Option, but when Swyping there's really no need for it, as the space is auto entered and all that, not to mention in my version(the newest, 2.29.71.20203.t100), its not all that space hogging. The engine for it doesnt pick up speech that well on the X10. At least, that's what it's shown me so far. It gets most of it, but for example i said 'be' a few time in testing, and it spat out 'the'.
Also, in my version, there's no smiley key. I think they turned it into a long press somewhere. I'll edit the post after I check.
...Is it really that boring of an input method????
Well, I have something the devs might look at. The site says the keyboard is skin/themeable by OEM's. Not sure what that stands for, but it's interesting. It'd be cool imho to skin it like the sense white letter/saymbol keys and then the delete, enter, symbol and whatnot stay the same.
For anyone who wants it, I'll soon have a video of me using the keyboard posted.
Its been done in the past.

This is a new one though. The beta is back open. Notice, my screenshots are different.
I know its a new one lol i was just saying the skinning has been done in the past and the same templates work on the new one.
I have the newest version 2.29.71.20203.t100 with the skin in the link i posted in my previous post. Just took that skin and replaced the boring blue one with it.
Mind you my version isnt from the beta link above, although i am on the beta list, its from elsewhere with the checks removed. I just added the skin and signed it as the beta from the link wouldnt work even with just images replaced and re-signed obviously.

Ah ok. Could you show me how to do that?
First of all you need a working version (not from the beta link - obv) and secondly a skin which is in one of the XDA forums (cant remember off the top of my head), you might have to google it.
After that its a doddle and i will explain.
Once you have those or i will PM it tomorrow as its late and i have work in the morning. i will show you.
Not sure how to get those.

Does anyone know of any option to move the cursor easily between words? (Like stock keyboard magnifying kind of stuff)
Not sure what you mean.

I mean; a better way to place the cursor in the desired place (you can do that with new stock keyboard; drag in the typed words and above the keyboard another magnified bar comes up to make life easy)

I agree the keys are bigger and better, but sometimes when you swype and it misses one letter in-between, you will find it very difficult to place the cursor there to key in that missing letter.
If possible, please leave a message in the forum, and let me hope it gets implemented.
Thank you.

If i remember correctly you can swype from the "swype" button to the sym button to get the arrows.
just double-tap the incorrect word and it will give you a list of alternatives.

If I remember correctly, it takes few clicks before it shows up the arrows to move the cursor. What I was looking for is something like SE implemented in the stock keyboard (new one).

What's that? I use swype obviously, though still ive never used the stock. USed anysoftkeyboard, then better keyboard, then swiftkey, then smart keyboard pro, then swype. Almost NEVER stock.
And it is possible to double tap on the misspelled word, too.

Directions To Apply
*If this is not your first time using a morph of mine, just morph right over top of the previous.
No need to delete your current apk on your sd card, not even the signed one.
Only do so if you are having problems.*
*Open up your chosen file explorer. Navigate to \data\app\ and locate the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk ( If you choose to use Es you will have to go into Settings>Tick Root Explorer Box)
*Copy the Swype apk to the root of your sdcard. (The theme will only take if the apk is in the root.)
*Go to Metamorph and select "Unzip/Extract New Theme"
*Navigate to wherever you downloaded your chosen theme to. (If you downloaded from the Xda App, it will be located in /sdcard/tapatalk_download/ I have Xda Premium and this is where mine is located)
*You will be presented with a preview and you may now choose "Apply All". Congrats! You have themed your Swype. Now onto signing and install!
*You Must sign the zip or else you will get constant force closes. Thats where ZipSigner2 helps. So let's open that up.
*Push the "Choose In/Out" button at the top and find the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk in the root of your sd card.
*Your output should now read /sdcard/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1-signed.apk
*Leave the key mode on "auto-testkey" and Sign The File.
*Before going further, you should make a backup of your data with Titanium Backup or your preserver program of choice. This will collect your personal dictionary for late use. Now uninstall Swype (not the Installer, This step is not mandatory but is recommended to prevent any errors so just do it : ) )
*Using your file explorer, now install the signed swype. (There will be two on your sdcard. The themed one and the themed signed one. Make sure you install the one with "-signed.apk" at the end. If you choose the other one, you WILL get force closes)
*Go to the "Swype Installer" program and activate and choose swype.
*The final and most CRUCIALLLLLLLL step of them all.......ENJOY!
Known Errors With MetaMorph
The most common problem that you might face is getting a "The theme you have selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing or is not correctly written." when you are extracting a theme. This is not a problem with my themes but with MetaMorph. Though it gives you an error and close, it still extracted the theme. Just go back into MetaMorph, (it will likely crash), go back into it and then hit "Pick Existing Theme" at the bottom. Find the folder name of the theme you just extracted and apply as normal.
For some reason the preview doesn't show if you extract a theme and immediately apply it. It only shows when you already extracted and then choose under "Pick Existing Theme". Not a big issue but these are the two known bugs pertaining to Metamorph.
Requests & Formats
Taken requests and ideas. Any of the Series can be modded to a specific color. If you want a custom color give me a sample. An HTML code, hex, sumthn 'kay. Refer to the following rough draft image to see the different aspects that may be themed. (I know its a bit jarringly bright but i was working on a girly theme when i uploaded it). If you do submit a request, please list the five colors and their corresponding titles. All requests are not guaranteed to be completed but I do promise to try. Until then, enjoy the unicolor ones above.
UPCOMING THEMES/SERIES/SPECIAL REQUESTS
Marshmallow Series
Marshmallow Series will contain white keyboards with accents of 8 selected colors. To be publish some time this week!

Any preferences? That and no outlines
which application are you using to edit the images?

Yup, just like the fifth post states. If you follow it step by step you shouldn't have any problems. I re-edited the icylicorice. Please re download. Make sure that when you go to metamorph that the theme version is 1.2 to ensure you have the newest one.

Anyone else experience this? Try rebooting your phone and see if swype stays there.
