I've written up a little guide for those of you who want the quick and easy way to get the new Android 2.3 keyboard on your Epic with 2.2. Enjoy!
Requirements
Device must have root priveleges with Superuser
Android 2.2 Froyo operating system
The latest “Voice Search” application from the Android Market
Make a backup of LatinIME.apk in system/app folder just in case if you have it!
Clockwork Mod Recovery
Deodexed ROM
Go to the Market and download Rom Manager to install CWM Recovery
Problems
Auto-correct feature is broken Working in v2
Vibrate on keypress doesn't work
If you are running a completely stock, odexed ROM, this could mess things up!!
Instructions
Download the .zip file provided by Peter Alfonso & Fabolous
Mount your device as USB storage and throw the zip file into the root folder (the main one)
Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery
How To: Get into Recovery Mode
Once in CWM recovery choose to install zip from sdcard
Choose to install the .zip you downloaded in Step 1
Reboot your device! Congratulations!

Hey man thanks for the keyboard.since this is a 2.3 thread in a way....anyone wanna guess when we'll get a 2.3 rom ported over? since it should be a easy port from the nexus s from what i hear

wont happen till sammy drops code for 2.2 and we can get kernel stuff backported. Regardless of how close the nexus s is, its still different.
Try this download and it might fix auto correct:

It's really really smooth and the autocorrect works so much better than the one from the droid multitouch kb.
Wasn't there a droidx multitouch kb already available some months ago?

Eeep, my bad. When I looked at the date/time for the modifaction of the APK I assumed it was the first version that released where autocorrect wasn't working properly
What do you mean there's "more keyboards?"
I flashed it with Amon RA n/p came out perfect its nice by the way make sure you get the one in the second or third post with auto correction fixed.
Flashed via Amon Ra, worked great. I really like the long press on the numbers to bring up fractions. This keyboard is very nice!
This keyboard is oh so lovely!

Not sure why I'm getting an error..I d/l'ed the file from the first and second links. I boot into Amon Ra Recovery but it fails when I try to flash the file.
I'm on Fresh 3.4.0.1, anyone have any quick ideas?
I flashed it with Amon RA running Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - RLS 4 and it worked perfectly. I grabbed the one in the second post with auto correction and vibrate fixed.
This is buy far the best keyboard out there!

That's what I'm wondering.
This would be the first one with both cameras working100% and 4G.
i dont see a 4g toggle or settings. The mms is also not working but wifi is good. Everything else is pretty smooth
You da shiznatie
Thank you!!!! I love this rom,
i cant wait to check it
i noticed this is a cyanogen kernel...will snap work with this?
I tried Snap for a little on it, no screen tearing but I was getting random reboots.
netarchy was worse.
I'd say keep stock kernel for now until more testing is done.

How do we go about getting live wallpapers installed?

I answered a phone call and the phone rebooted and then shut off. I had to do a battery pull to get it to go into recovery to do a nandroid. I like the way the rom looks eventhough I was only on it for a few minutes.

Edit: nevermind I already ran big's Liquid ROM it's bad a$$ but i keep getting crazy reboots, even with the CM Kernel he said to flash... I'm assuming that this is the same thing?? I'll flash it and see what the results will be.

hey prox, can we use this keyboard on sense roms? or do we need a aosp based rom?
You should be able to use it on any ROM. It is definitely compatible with sense ROMs as its even pre-installed on Proxuser's (OP) Runnymede S Port v3.2.

Hi guys first post so may not quiet know the ropes, I'm currently on Endymion 2.1 and have tried three times now to get the keyboard to install but on reboot the orginal keyboard is still there. The way i'm trying to install is reboot to recovery and install zip from sd card. Is this the correct way if so what can I do to get this keyboard working. Cheers Gordon

After you have flashed open up any app with a text input box, press and hold in the box to bring up the menu and select input method.
You will get a list of installed keyboard you want to select android keyboard.
You can change the keyboard settings in settings>language and keyboards>android keyboard.

Okay, i create theme for my mods )
@Fuss, I have reloaded ICS on my mobile and when i update with this zip the reoaded ICS settings are wiped off as both of it carry SystemUI.apk. Will it be possible to integrate both the apk in one.
@fuss, I have three requests:
1. Can you please update your cm9 rom with this multitasking enhancement.
2. Can you make flashing INFINITUM idiot proof single step flash (without alpha2)?
3. Can you put a clean wipe script in rom installer (making it idiot proof).
