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.

Hi all, I just came from iPhone and am really missing the magnifiying glass that pops up when i want to move my text edit cursor between letters. I noticed the Droid X has this feature as well (in fact seems to work better than the iphone's).
My big thumbs can not tap accurately enough between letters, and I do not like the stock Sense kb (I'm using the Gingerbread kb).
Could anyone hook me up with this magnifying glass/cursor movement? I would be very appreciative.
I have fat fingers, too.
You know the GB keyboard you're using already has a helpful feature for this, right? It doesn't magnify anything, but those big text selector tabs just might be the best part of the GB update, lol.

hmmm i am not sure what you are talking about... The only way I know of to move is by tapping, but it is far too inaccurate.
The Gingebread keyboard has big tabs for text selection and moving the cursor. Here's an example:

Oh, Whoa!
Which Gingerbread kb are you using?? That looks sweet and I am pretty sure the one I've got does not have that function. Or if it does, I'm a fool and haven't figured out how to use it....
(I'm stock ROM with an "ruKeyboard 2.0 r19" apk)

the ones i have tried dont have it either. I did go to bestbuy and tried the nexus 2 and it had it and works great.
it isn't a feature of the gingerbread keyboard ports to 2.2, it is only available in the actual 2.3 system.
Sense at least has it in their browser.
I had the very same situation, came from iphone and was frustrated by this. Swype actually has a great text selection setup, just swype from the swype button to the sym button.

Thanks for the clarification.
Even more frustrating is that my buddy's Droid X has a similar function.
Nonetheless, one week into my EVO and loving it.
Swype beta is open now with honeycomb support. For phone users there is an update as well.

Just installed it a few minutes ago. Works pretty good. Much easier to type since the tablet's screen is big so you can "Swype" more easily.
Reminder: Do not post any Swype apk files on XDA. It's not allowed.
That being said, the Beta is open again so join and you'll get accepted.
just ditched thumb keyboard for the time
I was already in the beta. When trying to install on TF it says this device is not android device. Thoughts?

Make sure your Transformer browser's user-agent is set to Tablet, not Desktop.
It's in the Browser settings under Advance.
Bingo. Thanks. I was using the dolphin browser so using stock did the trick
first impressions are great! Typing from swype now
Wow I love the small keyboard and that its moveable!!!!

Wow, shows up one day after I broke down and bought Thumb Keyboard. Which, by the way, is only $0.99 from Amazon right now, so it isn't like I broke the bank.
The "shrink" button really makes a nice difference in usability IMO, but I'm still sticking with TK for now. The one-sided keyboard (with the blank space to hold the tablet) is really awesome IMO, and I find that I have really good typing speed on the split keyboard + auto correct.
Going back to tablet keyboard free.
The perfect tablet keyboard would be a split keyboard with swype input. Until that happens I will be using the thumb keyboard split just like on tablet keyboard free.
Loving this new swype
So much easier to use with one finger. Though I'll probably still use thumb keyboard when typing an email. And it seems there's a horrible lag when typing in the browser with swype...
i installed just a moment ago. Really lik swype. its what my transtormer was missing. The browser lag is still there but not as noticeable to me now. Glad this update waa released.
thanks. installed and long time swype user however the hc skin for tk split keyboard is still champ for now. i will remain testing to see if my opinion changes. thanks for posting.
Does anybody actually think the movable keyboard is a good idea? I'm loving Swype on HC, but don't see why anybody would want to put it in that "movable" mode. I could see it making sense if it didn't cover the entire bottom of the screen anyway, but it does. Maybe, I just don't get it....

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.
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!

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.

What (in you opinion) is the best android keyboard available? My favorite would have to be Swype. it is so user friendly, you can Swype, manually type, speak, and even write what you want. What's your favorite?

Been on SE stock (awful), swiftkey, better keyboard, go keyboard, plain sense....since on JB, nothing comes close to stock JB.
Simply works, everything is where you expect it to be...and it'not a memory hog like some of above mentioned.

I used to be torn between Swype and Swiftkey Flow, but I'm using Swiftkey nearly exclusive after their latest update.
Sounds like I need to checkout Kii, though!
used to be touchpal
the touchpal swyping keyboard was the absolute best until they did a major update and 'forgot' about certain languages, then they abandoned it. i would have gladly paid for the app but now i'm using the incredible kii (and will be happy to pay when it comes out of beta).
so, touchpal, get your act together and fix your problems or my money will go elsewhere.
