Here it is! My themed Gingerbread Keyboard. There will be a total of 3 versions. A green, blue and red one. The theme is a permanent black background, with a "glowing" effect when pressed.
All three versions are based off the latest unrEVOked hacked GB keyboard with auto-correct and predictive text
Download it, and flash it in recovery. Then go to a text field, press and hold until you see the input method popup, select input method, then select Android Keyboard.

If anyone has a request for another color feel free to ask.
Is there anyway you could do the green one with a faint outline of the keys? I really like the black, but I hate how there's NO outline at all nice work though

Ya I'll give it a shot tomorrow. I'll post it as soon as I get it done. Would you want a green outline? Or have another outline color in mind?
I would suggest white or maybe a grey.

This replaces the stock keyboard? Or adds it as another optional input method?
Cool. Thanks!

If you have an AOSP keyboard already, it's going to replace it. If you dont have an AOSP it should come up as an optional keyboard in the keyboard menu.
And thanks for the compliments
I have an issue ... all versions of the gingerbread kb that I've tried only have dictionary / txt prediction working in english, I also type in Spanish so it would be nice to have working predictions for that language. Is there any way to fix this ?
Ok I just checked and I see the original HTC "Touch Input" keyboard still there in the input settings. So this wont replace the HTC keyboard, but it will replace an AOSP keyboard if you have one

I'm sure there is, but that's a bit out of my technical knowledge. I'm sure that'll be added soon. Whenever they are updated I'll be sure to redo my themes based on the newest keyboards.

I believe I read somewhere (regarding the Nexus and Gingerbread) that this is basically still beta and only supports English at this time.
I have the sprint lovers rom installed. I flashed this keyboard thru recovery. It said installed (enjoy etc) When I go to messages the same keyboard that was there before is present. In "Language & Keyboard" it only shows the slide it keyboard that i installed before as an option. What happened to the gingerbread keyboard?

Hmm... that's really weird. You're the first person that's happened to. It wont say Gingerbread Keyboard in the Language & Keyboard menu, it'll just say Android Keyboard. If you don't see Android Keyboard then try it again. If you still don't see Android Keyboard you can always rip the zip apart, pull the LatinIME apk, put it in your SD card, and just install it through Astro.
There is "Android Keyboard" in "Language & Keyboard" it has android keyboard settings underneath its title but no checkmark location to turn it on. FYI Slide It has both the slide it keyboard settings AND a square to place a check next to its name. Android has no square also installed LatinIME on SD used astro open it had 2 options to launch or uninstall. neither option worked. Deleted latin from Sd

Mine is actually the same way. I don't have a check next to Android Keyboard. Technically it's now the default stock keyboard, so it wont have a check next to it since you can't disable the stock default keyboard. Go to a text field, press and hold and select input method, and select Android Keyboard.
that was it ,working fine now ,many thanks

Awesome! glad it worked and hope you like it..
The outlined versions will be out in a day or two. Some personal stuff just hit me hard today and I wont have the time to do it until probably tomorrow. But it WILL come I promise.
Very good stuff, however I am sticking with the grey-backgrounded one. Pitch black is not my style.
See if you can remove that dark background and you will find more business here
Love it! Thanks for the new keyboard! Works great!

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.

EDIT2: Attempted to get settings working. Failed. Looks like this is the end of the line for me. :| I would always be interested if someone would like to work with me on how to do it though!
Yea, the official one works well too. Would love to see someone rip the version from the EVO with the 4-way arrows on the bottom since the DroidX has no direction pad or mouse wheel.
The four arrow keys would be nice, but the red bullseye lets you easily move the cursor around (similar to the iPhone) and you can set the volume keys to move it left/right too, which is plenty good for me

Hey, did you get a chance to see the Vib issue? well not issue, but to have it off? The Droid X seems to be a rougher and more vibrant vib, well it is Moto, theyre know for that.
I am Patiently waiting, The main thing that is missing, is the Touch Input menu, thats where we change, Well, for the Evo KB.
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.

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.

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.

- Requires ROOT -
There are several sources where the Gingerbread keyboard APK and SO library can be downloaded from (e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4] and [5]), but personally I used this one:
http://fabdroid.com/goodies/Fabolous_GBKB_Fix.zip
IMPORTANT NOTE: this ZIP file is a ClockWork Recovery update file ==> DO NOT USE IT !!! (it will remove your system odex files) Just unzip and grab the APK and SO files.
Because the Galaxy Tab doesn't ship with LatinIME.apk and libjni_latinime.so by default, there is normally nothing to backup. DOUBLE-CHECK to make sure this assumption is correct !! (/system/app/ and /system/lib/) MAKE BACKUPS if necessary.
I used Root Explorer to transfer the APK and SO files from my SD card into their respective system folders, and I fixed the file permissions.
I then went to the system preferences, looked at all the settings for "Android Keyboard" (by the way, haptic feedback/vibration doesn't seem to work). IMPORTANT: select your language in the list and get familiar with the keyboard options BEFORE using it. Then I set the keyboard as the default input method (instead of Smart Keyboard Pro, which I normally use).
I then opened the note-taking app to test the keyboard. It's all working very well, no Force-Closes/crashes. There's a little more latency than Smart Keyboard Pro (I feel), but it's no big deal. It could be related to the handling of multitouch typing. Otherwise the auto-completion / word prediction is nice, so are the popup keys.
I still prefer Smart Keyboard Pro (I might as well, given I paid for it ), but Gingerbread's keyboard is a definite improvement over the stock Froyo one !!
Cheers, Dan
EDIT: when using APKs extracted from the emulator image (system.img, 50MB, download links can be found on XDA), it is recommended to edit /system/build.prop and change "ro.build.version.sdk" to 9 instead of 8 (and reboot).

You mean the "arrow keys" (LEFT, RIGHT, UP and DOWN) ? That's one of the many features from Smart Keyboard Pro that justify its purchase
EDIT: finger-swipe left or right on top the Smart Keyboard Pro, and press the bottom left corner key => this should show the arrows keypad (also check the preferences to see if it is activated).

I like the new editing options and it has nicer colours, though find the keys a bit small. Shame they can't be increased like in smart keyboard pro. Will run with it a bit longer to see if I can get used to it.
[edit] removed pic as daniel has added it to his first post.
I added the landscape screenshot to the 1st post, thank you !
Please note that I use LCD Density of 200 instead of the standard 240. I'm not sure how the keyboard looks with other settings.

I use LCD density of 200 too so our captures match up .
Can't get it to do haptic touch despite setting it, but it's not something I usually turn on so no biggy.
well i installed the keyboard like u directed in the Verizon Galaxy Tab and it works perfect. Only downfall is the font is pretty small for a 7in screen. I dled the LCD Density app from market that requires root and changed it to 200 from default 240 and all my font for the whole device went much smaller but the keyboard did look better. Is there anyway to just change the LCD density for the keyboard to make that font bigger and not shrink the Whole Tab's font. Thanks for your help!
Confirm +1. No haptic. 2/3 the size of Samsung keyboard. Easier to use if you're used to an iphone or something with baby keys. Personally I need the bigger keys so its keyboard pro for me.

I love this keyboard but why do the keys show up so small on the Galaxy Tab? Is there a way to make the keys larger?
Thanks
pros cons on this over the standard one?
At the moment im using better keyboard
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.
