[Request] Froyo Keyboard for CM7 Gingerbread ROM

I was wondering if this has been made yet or if anyone could do it. I don't really like the Gingerbread keyboard and wanted to have the Froyo keyboard on CM7.

Please and thank you If someone does this!

+ bumping to this.
The Gingerbread keyboard is very pretty, but it seems to be geared more towards phones with proper multitouch capabilities. Lacking that, it feels clumsy and slow compared to the Froyo keyboard. The intuitive slide-up gesture to access numbers and symbols makes a lot more sense than having to press and hold the period, then slide that finger all the way across the screen to access the punctuation that I need. I really don't feel that the Gingerbread keyboard brought enough new features to offset killing that Froyo feature (which was only introduced in May, and was warmly received by all).

I hate new keyboard! I make many more typos now

i bump this also please.... i respect all the work that cm and the others did to make this possible but i cant deal with the keyboard and also other members in other forums feel the same way.. Can someone please make a froyo keyboard for gingerbread CM7 plz thanks much

Modded gb keyboard
I like typing on the froyo keyboard better too. I moved some of the png's from the froyo keyboard into the gingerbread one and it does make a little difference. Well for me it does anyway. Here is a gif of the two keyboards. The froyo png makes the key's fatter and taller. If you want to give it a try let me know.

Does this have the froyo Smiley where I don't have to slide my finger across to pick the Smiley I want?

Bump plz ;(

Bump.
It's not really the way the FroYo keyboard looks but the drag-up functionality and the closer keys. That's all I really want. Is anyone able to make this work on Android 2.3?

That's the big feature that I want as well. I've played with just about every other keyboard on the market, and I really just want the Froyo keyboard to work for me on Gingerbread.

Hey guys, I found a keyboard on the market, its called Gingerbread SenseMod Keyboard. It looks awesome and has a froyo touch to it.... Give it a go maybe you like the layout.

Thanks for trying, but that looks to be a skinned mod of the Gingerbread keyboard, optimized for use with a Sense-based ROM.
We are wanting a version of the Froyo keyboard, repackaged to work on Gingerbread.

It is a skinned version but it adds the froyo touch that makes typing more accurate. I haven't made a mistake since in installing it. It works for me but everybody has their own style so meh.

Thumb Keyboard 4.0 Beta (Amazing TF Keyboard)

If you haven't tried Thumb Keyboard yet, give the free 4.0 Beta a try. It has changed my TF experience for the better in a huge way. Link here.
The Beta lasts for another week, and I'll buy the full release without hesitation.

It comes with custom skins but you can also find and install customs.

I've been trying the betas for quite a while and agree its the best one around. As long as you turn off predictive text, it doesnt lag at all. It's only getting better with updates. Will purchase it too if it ever comes out.

I purchased v3 not so long ago (but before the beta came out).. am I gonna get stiffed and have to buy v4 all over again when that eventually launches? I know its only a few quid but it'll be a pain if I do..

is there a thumb typing lesson that i can do online. this is great and convenient but unless you're trained to do it, it can slow you down even more.

Thanks! This really made typing a lot easier while holding the device.

The cursor keys work on ssh terminal programs like connectbot, but the tab key does not.

it's a beta, let them know and hopefully it's something that can be fixed before the final release.

How come I don't see it listed in the keyboard list after I installed the apk?

I had to reboot to get it to show up on mine.

I cannot figure out how to change the buttons....I picked large buttons and now I want to change it to small ones and see the difference...it said that you can change but did not say where to do that. I looked in settings and could not see where to change it.

Thank you.

original thread by developer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056976

Thanks for pointing this out. Absolutely brilliant - have to say one of the best features is the option to instantly switch between split layout, full screen and half screen keyboard. Plus, none of the lag or missed keypresses, even with prediction on...

yes, i am well aware of that. but none of it can be attached to galaxy s and become a slider keyboard. if you find any, i would very appreciate it if you post the links here. thanks

Good idea to start this thread. Just sent in a request to boxwave with a url to this forum, hopefully they will notice the level of interest here!

why do u need bluetooth keyboard while u can type faster with SWYPE or SLIDEIT keyboard?
last time i used to aim for only qwerty keyboard smartphone,
but after i got myself capacitive screens smartphone, i think it is not necessary for a qwerty keyboard, it is even slower

i personally do like soft keyboard, but not swype. when the screen gets smudged, swype will make it more messy.
my favourite is gingerbread keyboard, but even that gives me errors. a hard keyboard, to me, although require more practice, but will get the job done once you get used to it. i've tried and liked it.
another thing is, playing games using a hard keyboard is so much easier.

Holy crap, it looks amazing! But phone will look like a fat brick... hmmm request sendet afterall

request Done

Man I hate the g2x android keyboard. I need KB setup I can custumize myself or better yet already set up to my specs. Basically I want a " return " function in ALL THE setups. I hate that when I go to text there's no return key, also an @ in all the layouts as well. I would LOVE TO have a KB layout that emulates the d2 slider . Any suggestions to something close to the d2 layout? I tried better keyboard but that sucked, just fancy buttons, no return no directional arrows... lmk

FlexT9! Never liked anything else since I started using that!

Personally, I'm still in the "tap tap tap" category, so SmartKeyboard Pro is the way to go. It looks nice, it sounds nice, and it vibrates. What's more to want?
Its customizable, apparently. I think you can tweak a lot on the keyboard. Rock solid. For those who still hammer out letter by letter.

Keyboard alternative?

I have not been on the android wagon in awhile and I was wondering about different keyboards on the market. I really like our stock multi touch keyboard but the white theme is burning a hole in my retinas at night. Could somebody recommend a free/paid replacement? I also really like the island style buttons on the keyboard. No Skype please, I've already deleted it from the rom lol. Thanks all!

I like how the stock keyboard does not have a dedicated row for spelling corrections, just big old buttons on the screen.. If go keyboard does that then I'm game

Go keyboard does have it, but you wouldn't know from my screenshot cause I have it disabled. It's a highly customizable keyboard, you can even control the strength of the haptic feedback

Swiftkey
I use swift key because it has multiple theme colors and excellent predictive options. If you allow it gmail, text message, and/or facebook access it will learn how you type and make intelligent offers on what to type based your typing patterns. The other great thing is you can turn on arrows to move through what typed easier then trying to tap the proper place inside a word.
