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

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!!

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

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 will let you select Swype or Android Keyboard so its one or the other.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Best keyboard by far if you ask me. Its fast n actually corrects words correctly. Vibrate would make it even better. Nicely done. Just deleted better keyboard.

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.

Live Wallpapers
How do we go about getting live wallpapers installed?

What camera app is this running? CM?

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.

So I just flashed this ROM and something I noticed off hand was my notification light is blinking. Is it suppose to do this if I don't have any notifications?

Virtuous Unity has Panorama built in as an Effect in the Camera. I thought most of the cameras in use on the Inspire ROMs had this effect? Does this one offer something more?

wont install for me... to bad it looks cool

Not installing for me either
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

For those who have problems getting this to work.
Try this .apk
It was posted on the same forum as mentioned above but it was aimed at those (like me) who couldn't get the application installed on the phone because of the .JAR file.
You don't even need to use the scripts to get this app installed. (After a failed attempt, I restored nandroid and installed just this .apk without flashing anything else and it worked).
Thanks to jimbo77 and droidrx for posting and tweaking the installer.
For those who can't install the jar file, I integrated the jar code into this APK. Non-rooted devices can install it as long as they have sideloading enabled

Is there any chance you could post a link to the ROM please?

Curious
When you say port a GB Rom do you mean like official GB Android version? Or like a GB themed rom? Just curious. I noticed it said UVKJ2 in the picture for the build. Either way thank you tons I'm excited

Worth it ahah an I believe you can change that after port
Edit: ohh now I see its upside down too v.v will be werid for awhile

I really hope windixi comes through with this. Would really be nice to test this on my phone. Get some new life from it.

just thought about it why not flash a pre assembled keybored from 2.2.1 to this?
although its probably not the issue its most likly some to do in the phones main framework

I'm dying to try even just an alpha build
Gonna be a lot of new things to work on if this works ^~^

If windixi posts back about what the keyboard issue is, we should talk to Ric. He messed with a lot of framework things or maybe Sammuel. He did a lot of work with the keyboard as well.

Ric is mainly a themer not a dev (atleast he points tha out a lot) plus he is busy with life just like bduv
Then figuring that the sidekick is unique to the point that there are 2 leds a key board an the keypad / track pad this make an issue of being a 100 percent update as a lot of stuff may be missing or gone (play store will need to pick up the 2.3.3)
Its a lot of issues for noobs so to speak to use the rom which is why its not released for downloads cuz someone won't read an just update
