Here is the gingerbread keyboard - mostly compliments of AndroidBruce. I got another version working from my own SDK - but it is really slow compared to this one for some reason. MD5's on the so and apk are the same ????? oh well here is this one if anyone wants it.
Flash as an update.zip - this was only tested by me on stock dk28.
To enable go to settings > Locale and Text > check Android Keyboard.
I had to go up to select input method 3 times to get it it show up in the list...
Known issues:
Seems that user dictionary doesn't work...i'll look into it.
Perks:
it's multitouch, and best of all its not swype (I feel a "Swype is awesome" remark coming)
Differences from this version?
I flashed it. Its just the stock android keyboard with multi touch. I'll keep my swype
Thanks anyways!

They got the Auto correct working. The only thing not working is the vibrate on touch. You guys should collaborate.. Thanks for the hard work...
I give this 12 hours before I merge with the other thread...in fact I might just move both of them to the Apps section

I don't think this counts as an app or theme. Its a PORT that needs continuing DEVELOPMENT to function 100%.
Anyways, the other one I tried made me have to restore because its only for deodexed ROMs. I don't wanna install a rom. I like stock. Will it make me have to restore again?
Ps, I know you said its on stock, butdo you mean the .tar stock or acs rom (which is also considered stock deodexed I think...idk lol)

Thanks for porting the app. Hopefully, all features will be working soon.
I'd say that with this new keyboard, all of the custom keyboards are now largely obsolete. It also renders the hardware keyboard less useful than before, although it's still useful (I'm using the hardware keyboard right now) for longer messages.

I've noticed that when I apply the Gingerbread keyboard to the Galaxy Tab it isn't quite laid out correctly....seems to be half the size that it should be. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks

Ironically i love the size of the keyboard, its so accurate and takes up hardly any screen
I agree with dave. But can you attach a screenie for comparison?
Yes I would love to see a screenie before I install it as well.

Wow! I'm going to assume that the photo you have there is a completely different apk ...any chance of you sharing that apk? Would be much appreciated. I love the Gingerbread keyboard I just don't like it so small.
Perhaps you still have the older version installed. I can't really say, if it has been the update of the apk or my update yo jm6 has caused this to work in the correct size. Have you installed the updated file from here?

How do I install Swype on G2X?
Is the only thing I really miss from Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Wrong swction, general would be a better section.. google swype website and it gives you instructions there, nothing g2x specific....... did you try looking before posting this?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Swype is pre-installed on the G2x, just hold down in the area you want to type untill a box comes up that gives you options, one of the options is to change input method. select that, then select swype. Please, read your owners manual
Yup it is....

Hahahah I'm sorry but you guys are funny Hahahah
Joining the swype beta is a good idea even if you're using a ROM with swype built in; beta is newer and is a lot better.
Also, in the market there is a keyboard called T-Swipe Pro. It is a great swipe type keyboard and can do swipe in Thai and Japanese if you want also. It works great for English also. You can try it for free from the Android Market.
I have swype pre installed on my phone. I was wondering how you update it on the G2X. I join and did everything it said but thought i read somewhere you can updated it if its been per installed. do anyone know if this is true or what?
Is it possible to bring the Optimus keyboard with all the gestures and smiles etc to the G2x? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

can you confirm that your method works? When I click the word in the prediction box, it just inserts the word into the word into the textfield. I can't double click it.

More than likely this just means that you have to be in the swype beta and that your keyboard isn't going to automatically update.

I used Titanium backup to freeze the pre-installed swype then i just install the beta fine and everything works fine.
Tapping to text definitely feels nicer on the latest version of swype. The look of the suggestion bar is also vastly improved.

I think that's part of their Honeycomb-exclusive distro.
Also, be sure to uninstall your current version of Swype beta before installing the new one. If you run the installer while Swype 2.x is installed it will NOT update.
after i turned the phone off and turned it back on the swype started messing up and wouldn't open again i had to reinstall the old one to get it to work so idk

Is it possible for anyone to create a landscape keyboard for the touch screen ?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
I believe some of the custom ROMs already have one, at the very least. Poke through the dev forum and see if you can find what you're looking for.
There is no current ROM that has this, it is yet to be seen if this is possible, as it wasn't built in by Samsung. They thought that there was no good way to have a landscape screen keyboard on our phones. So it would take a large amount of integration and work. Anything's possible, but as of now, it doesn't exist and is very far away if anyone is working on it.
last time I tried gokeyboard it worked in landscape. but it kept trying to translate my english into chinese so I uninstalled... but try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gokeyboard&hl=en
not working for me , im gonna pm you to see if i can try to get it working
well, it used to work. you can see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15247397#post15247397 I was using it around the first of july. I tried it again today and I could not get it into landscape mode.
So, it USED to work, but apparently no longer does. Darn GO dev team for their frequent updates. (I think all go apps are some of the best btw, great/frequent updates)

Word, works and looks great thanks for posting. IF anyone is wondering, i used astro to install, then went to my settings, locale and text then deactivated my stock keyboard, and activated the new one.
Does the Galaxy S have the swype or regular virtual keyboard with landscape mode? If so, couldn't it work on the sidekick? If anyone would email me those keyboard apks, I'd be a guinea pig for that.
I still don't know how to do it I'm on the xda free app but ayoteddy posted it so great way on staying on top of things I habe the same one I believe
