DroidX Multi-touch keyboard for Froyo - Hero CDMA Android Development

Hey guys,
I got this keyboard working for the Eris(And any other ARMv6 phones), and figured you guys might want it as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021

Wrong forum.

No its the right forum. Just a genuine link to a post he's already made.
And it works.

this is my fave KB, hands down.
heading over to the other thread to see what this is all about.
curious? is this flashable? or "pushed"?
EDIT: I see now (and below) that this is a push. @ work, no ADB shell here... looking forward to your flashable. ;-) when you get around to it, no hurry man. and thanks for your work!

You can copy with terminal or root explorer, you don't have to adb

does the spacebar fully function in this one? i heard there was problems with another droidx keyboard that was released not too long ago. thats why i didn't download it. can someone confirm?

I just tried to install this using the instructions, and I must be missing something. I pushed both files to the right directories and they show up there, but I see any option to actually use the keyboard. It doesn't show up under settings->keyboards or when I try to choose the input method from an input box. Any ideas?

The multi touch on it doesn't work right anyways. It gets all screwy when I try and use it, pushing wrong letters and crap. Like I hold shift, hit y and it types b

I've not had any issues with the spacebar. I've been using this keyboard regularly since yesterday with working multitouch and space

Works great, multi-touch and all. Thanks!

When I try to install it I just get a "application not installed" what am I doing wrong

You have to push the apk over the default LatinIME.apk in /system/app

What do you mean "over"? I've pushed the apk to /system/app and the libjni_latinime.so to /system/lib. Now what?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

I've even removed the android keyboard all together (so now I have no latinime.apk). Still won't install. Downloaded twice with same result.
Edit: nevermind i fixed it. Had to delete the LatinIME tutorial then reboot. The spacebar doesn't work half the time though. Ahhhhh!

That's because the Hero screen doesn't support multiple inputs crossing axis. Download a multitouch Visualizer from the market and you'll see what I mean.

Yeah, I've done this a few times now. Whenever I type a few letters now on the default android keyboard now it FCs, though.
edit: Just removed the tutorial and it didn't change anything. Do I need to rename the file included in the OP and completely replace the LatinIME.apk?

Yes was using it before i uploaded it; you can too. LOOK HERE. i dont ul anything i dont test myself. you need a root access file explorer like root explorer. sometimes that doesnt even work though. if pushing doesnt work, just flash my mod. i install while im putting everything together, thats why i know it works, cus i never have a problem that way. any problems and ill help you get it going.
​
yeah...i wasn't wanting the whole mod. i just thought your version of swype is more fitting than the red droid incredible version i'm currently using. i tried the download and an install from andexplorer. no go. i didn't bother with a push install. i can try again.
nope. didn't work again. could you please confirm that you've managed to install this, and how you did it? i've tried installing over my own version, and after removing my version and wiping all data and cache then installing, and i've tried pushing to /system/app. i even tried pushing to /data/app.
all fail. installation failed is the message i get.
bump. mag, can you remove uninstall the copy of swype you have try the upload you put here on your own phone? still no worky.
and, why is the apk so much bigger than stock swype? my red swype apk is like half the size
Thanks for keyboard
P.S download is spelled wrong 'dowload' is what you said
I've tried every way possible and get the same. Great looking keyboard mod, would just love a way to install it. I will keep my eye on this thread, hopefully a working apk will be posted soon. Love your work, and thanks for your dedication.
yeah, i'm pretty sure it's borked, jeff.
I figured it out, with root explorer, move the apk to system/app and rename input 2 and match the permissions. It will then be in language and keyboard as a default. Enjoy.

Make sure that the keyboard is compatible with the android version ur rom is based out of.
Well that would be my prob. - no .lib files - only .apk files.... where can i find keyboards that have both?

Most likely, I didn't sign any of them, assuming people would push them through ADB. =P
also, do you have to push "people" and "dialer" together since they both are closely linked? also, i think even if you push them, if they are not signed they might not install. I am a total noob, but that was my issue when i modded some apk's etc

You don't need to sign them if you push through adb. I pushed them all to my phone before posting. And no, you don't have to push them together, one after another is fine as they are replacing the app instantly.

Mms up for you mang.
I originally was not planning on making zips of these, as they are just one app, and everyone here IMO SHOULD know adb. It's an essential tool for having a phone thats hacked. However, I know some people might want this and might pass it up due to the fact that they don't want to learn. So here ya go. This post will contain ZIP's and will be linked in the OP. I'll update as I make them. I will not be including these in the OP to avoid clutter.

yeah man, no probem.
I have no problem taking any requests of anything any of you guys want. If its something I don't have, I just need the apk. Provides a nice break from the studies =P

P.S. would these remove any theming already there like the dialer and so forth.

Gingerbread Keyboard for Froyo. (Update 06.02)

I use Froyo (because for now it's fastes rom), and Im not really like original keyboard, I HATE IT
For some % people who using 2.2 rom and wanna get keyboard from 2.3 you in the right place.
First option is : (for children)
Just install apk.
Go to settings> language&keyboard> mark gingerbread keyboard.
Second option : (my favorite, and only for root phones, AND ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY)
I like when everything is clean. (I can find in any rom something to delete)
Open Root Explorer.
Go to System>app
Delete from there keyboard apk (original keyboard)
Copy my apk file to System>app, and install
Restart your phone.
(your gingerbread keyboard is gonna be know in "input method" like originally.)
This apk is: Light weight. Without any additives. Does not take ram just same as the original keyboard. Faster than ORIGINAL !

NO BAG AT ALL !

oops I didn't. Should have read more carefully. Usually when you put an apk into system/app its not necessary to manually install it. I guess this is different.

Does the second one fix the letter font size, on the keys?
One time I use it they will be small and next time they are the correct size.
What does the fix all version do?
Crack powered G2X
this is the main reason why Im gingerbread right now does this keyboard have that slider when you edit the text if so Im going back to stock =D

[FIX] This fixes the Market running stock or a custom rom

I thought I would post this to make it easier to find as it was buried in the gummy charge thread.
Basically, after you get up and running with gummy charge 1.5 or other roms, you may notice the market will be missing apps and you will have a problem downloading a few too. To check to see if your market is working correctly do a search for MLB at bat... if you can't see those apps then you need this fix. The fix is listed below. The fix edits a few lines of code in your build.prop file which gives you all apps in the market no matter what rom you are using. Its completely harmless and will fix issues you are having
1. Download fix.apk from the URL below
2. Install the fix.apk
3. Go into your app drawer and find the app called 'market fixer' and open it. Then select fix.
4. Approve root request
5. Reboot within the market fix app
You should now have all apps in the market and your market downloads should work

Find it here. I can now download mlb at bat 2011 thank goodness.
http://jrummy16.com/jrummy/testing/
My fingerprint now shows "shadow" in it. Whatever, it works for me. Hopefully nothing else is screwed up.
THANK YOU! This was one of the main things bugging me about this phone, just got it a couple days ago
You, sir, are awesome. Thanks much!
Cool, same problem with EE4 debloated. This fixed me right up. I found if completely stock EE4 has the same problem?

does that mean I still need this Market app fix?

I am running Debloated v4.2.1. I installed fix.apk, and then rebooted.
If "MLB at Bat" is supposed to indicate that my Market is fixed, I'm not "fixed" yet.

It sounds like you may not have followed my instructions in the original post.
You must install the fix. Apk
You must then immediately find the app in your app drawer called market fixer and open it
You must choose the fix button then accept root request
Then you must reboot within the market fix app

This fix doesn't work without rooting and I am not prepared to do that. Is there a fix without having to root?
