Here's the Droid 2 multi-touch keyboard ported by invisiblek that I themed with the Froyo Stock keyboard. It should work on any Froyo based deodexed ROM. This will replace your stock keyboard so make a nandroid backup first. I'm also including the FRF91 stock keyboard. Both files are installed from recovery.
Thanks to invisiblek and enragedpaza for all their help and guidance.
Works great! Thanks for including the stock keyboard.
Great Job it works wonderfully. I do like the white one though. I use it on all my 2.1 devices!
I anyone can port it plain white that would be AWESOME.

nice! this will replace my stock keyboard. now it's paired with Swype and the HTC IME :-D

Thanks. Much better than the white version. I appreciate it.
having a slow moment here so bear with me .. flashing this replaces stock keyboard .. i got that .. now op stated that he included the stock one also ..
so couple questions
1. if i flash this then flash the stock will i have both or will it just over ride each other
2. is there a htc ime port for froyo devices
thanks for the responses
never mind i used the search button and found my answers ..gonna flash this now
1. If you flash both, whichever you flashed last will take precedence. At the moment it's one or the other sadly.
2. Not sure, sorry
is there a way to install from sd using terminal?
Sorry if this has already been explained elsewhere but, what sorta additional functionality would this offer over the stock keyboard? What are some of the multitouch functions that are possible that become second nature through use of this it you know what I mean?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
any way to just install this without removing the original keyboard? guess this version cant just install like a normal apk or like the htc keyboard.

I was wondering the same thing, then realized that it would be better figured out if I just flashed the damn thing myself. I think the stock keyboard is kinda slow, but this keyboard allows me to type more quickly without having to utilize spell check as often. The only thing that sucks about this KB is that there is no customization such as turning off key previews or changing the vibration duration.
Other than that, I wish we had a fully working HTC IME with multi touch (maybe we do, I forgot).
apparently u can hold down shift to cap one letter like on a real keyboard, not sure gonna try it now
works great on leofroyo.
is there a way to disable the fullscreen UI in landscape like HTC_IME ?
Root Explorer
is there a way to install this via root explorer?
I am using the hd2 - with darkstone sense build so i do not have the option to flash via recovery.
Hi Mates!
Tomorrow i'm going to recieve the post package with my brand new Moto Milestone I can't wait...
I have looked through threads abouts available ROM versions and I dont know which one should I flash to my new device... I want to have everything working, and good battery lifetime (bla bla bla , You say I should stay at stock ROM, but I wand something more)
It would be nice if the rom has overclock. It should be smooth and beautiful.
I request suggestions Thanks alot
Hi,
I would avoid official one, go for Got's 2.38 or try EclairMOD by 89luca89
Maybe Got's one if you begin with android.
They are 2.1 android, much more stable than the Motorola's one.
After some time, you can make a nandroid backup of all your system, and then test Dexter_nlb "rom" like Sense UI MOD or MotoBlur or MotoFrenzy, they are Android 2.2 based Mod. That's for the one i tested, but they are maybe other mods.
Thank You;-) so at last I get my Miledtone, which is my 3rd andro phone. Now I'll try the stock eclair but I'm going to do some changes firstly I'll learn typing on phisical keyboard

With Got's image all the phone functions are working well?
The installation of this SW is like installation of the original one using RSDLite?
Many thanks in advance.

You can install with OpenRecovery is more easy.
This might be a kind of noob-ish request, but I'm trying to avoid rooting (I know, I know) and wondered if there was a way to port over the dialer-contacts in APK form from 2.3.
I would appreciate any help/guidance.
Did anything change in the dialer between Froyo and Gingerbread?
Took these off my Nexus S. Not sure if they'll work but here you go!

Be careful. Make a backup of the original apks first (or a full nandroid backup) . if they don't work, they're likely to cause the system to crash-loop (continuous FCs). Happened too me when trying a moded phone.apk before.
Aren't the dialers the same, I didn't notice any differences apart from the look, from froyo and now on gingerbread
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Thanks for the fast response, but I'm getting a parse error trying to install the APKs.
To everyone else: I'm mostly trying to get something more like AOSP over the stock HTC stuff, and most of what I've found on here is stuff designed to flash on top of ROMs for rooted phones.
Hi,
Well we have an Froyo Kernel (UK,Orange,Chinese) well the guys at the XT720 got Froyo with 2.1 UK Kernel to Work.
Someone gonna try 2.3 with 2.2. UK/Orange Kernel?
That would be something really nice we could work on
Cause with 2.2 UK / Orange we have perfect working Froyo, now there ist only 720p (half done) ,FM-Transmitter (seems impossible) and finally Bootloader Cracking(really hard work) left for Developers
We could use CM7 or Milestone Gingerbread Port
Regards
the guys that are working on milestone baked a fully?! working gingerbread, can't the same method they used to get it working on milestone be used for our defy? i also read that custom kernels can be loaded on droid x and milestone

Unfortunately I can't find any information that they actually used the kexec method to load a fully custom kernel. I'm hoping they are still hiding it for the public to get rid of bugs. I fear though it's never going to happen. Despite that fear, a true CM7 on our Defy with a Moto kernel would already be quite nice. The custom roms so far are nice, but they are nothing more than adaptations of the original firmware. There is still Moto stuff in them, and don't we all just want to have Gingerbread on our Defy?
Honesty.... Gingerbread is the worst update google has done.. might as well wait for Icecream for some REAL update besides some phone off animations. Before we even got a froyo rom I attempted to port it with advice I got from dexter awhile ago... obviously didn't work.

All I can say is can't wait for blurless tmous froyo (cue jboogie)
2.3 doesn't seem to do much really...
It would be nice to have the latest ginger just to have the latest ginger to keep our Defy up to date.
I agree with jboogie3, it would be better keep some energy to concentrate our efforts on the next release during this time if you don't like blur stuff I would advise the latest jboogie3 rom which is really fast and as blurless as it's reasonable to be (only miss ginger keyboard which has improvements and drawbacks .
A core CM port would be nice though.
Cheers,
Kribou
I hope Motorola gives defy little ginger, because froyo its close to final release.
I think that Motorola developers will not stop there.
But its only me..

Unfortunately even the deblurred ROMs aren't running stock apps. They still have Moto contacts, moto dialler, cmp and more at a minimum, not to mention there are moto services you can't get rid of.
It's not that I don't appreciate the work the devs are doing with ROMs but all I really want is a proper Froyo stock ROM, maybe one day I'll get bothered enough to try and make one

at this moment the most we can do with rom deblur, is to change
some applications aosp with some blur .... not easy to delete all app
motorola, there are some default app that you just replace them, but must rewrite the correct library for it to work properly, such (for example) as a keyboard (or gingerbread Android) ..
Everyone, could you plz save your efforts with all the blur roms and start baking stock roms cz I believe it is possible but just needs alot of work, so to all the devs here can u all work on the same project of unlocking the bootloader and porting stock roms, plz!!!
are you serious?

Gingerbread keyboard works dandy on my defy.
There is a port for 2.2 devices...
Gingerbread is all in all a nice update. made my hd2 faster, better looking and added this little orange bumps to the lists...
btw: 2.3.3 enables a lot of apps made for multiple processors.
There are many kernel sources (and more sources) available on motodev
ex:
https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/go/projects.moto_defy/frs.defy_skt.jdskt_u3_02_20_0
https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/...ects.moto_defy/frs.defy_latam.jorla_u3_6_14_5
There are sources of the 2.1.1, but i find nothing related to the 3.4.2 build
but kernel Makefile shows v2.6.29 and not 2.6.32
Hey there.
Since I just saw the available Argen2stone ROM I wanted to ask: Is it possible now to pack custom roms on the milestone 2? Last thing I read few montht or weeks ago was, that there is an issue about the bootloader or something.
Since it is possible to use Argen2stone, is it now possible to get MIUI running on the Milestone 2?
Please read the forum guidelines first!
A special Thread is not needed for this question, but let me help you in a few words:
Yes, it's possible. It was also possible before. But that aren't really Custom ROM's. What Argen2Stone ROM does is replacing the system files on out Milestone 2.
The developer changes the original Motorola ROM: Nothing more. A "true" Custom ROM is Cyanogen, which uses a special kernel. Caused by the locked bootloader it's not possible to change replace these things, so a true Custom ROM won't work.
About MIUI:
No, the developer of the ROM has to to a fully rebuild based on the MS2 ROM. Otherwise it won't work.
Same for FissionROM (we're waiting for it)... But I think the dev. of FissionROM wanna use his Droid2/Global Builds and get it running on the MS2. Also a way, but more complicated I think...
Everything is possible, you just need developer willing to do this. You'd better pray for someone to port CM7 to MM2

I don't think a special kernel is must for custom ROM, as all that we use on the phone are delvik apps running in the virtual machine. So the ROM can be customized very dramatically without touching the VM and kernel underneath.
And btw, Milestone 2 has not been sold a lot in China, partially due to Moto's bad fame of late system update. MIUI is a Chinese group, so I'm afraid they won't start working MS2 in a short time
I *MIGHT* look at it when I get cm6 running. I really dislike MIUI though so you'd really have to convince me to making it. I won't even start as of now just yet, since CM has a waaay higher priority to me right now.
excellent....

Hrm, well, the fact that there's a Chinese group out there working on custom ROMs is a relief to me. However, considering ROMs for Android is like stuff I've never seen before, I'm having trouble understanding a damn thing. I just got a MS2 and I live in China. It's awesome, but the English interface can't type in Chinese, I can only receive it. Plus the whole MotoBlur thing doesn't work with a crap. I was hoping there might be some custom ROMs out there that support Chinese. So far, it looks like there could be a chance, so that's for the good news cyaniris. But now I have a LOT to learn about androids and ROMs, as I haven't a darn clue what any of this lingo means (MIUI, bootstrap or bootloader, kernels, fisionROM, CM, rsdlite, nandroid, and tons of other terms ive seen thrown around the forums). Anyway, I'll still do some reading, but you've made me happy knowing if a nice customROM that has an English interface that can be used in China with the usual Western Apps but Chinese compatible doesn't exist, one probably will with enough demand. Thanks!

RSD Lite is a program you run on your computer by Motorola. It flashes official motorola releases without having the need of a working phone, so it has two purposes: Updating to a new motorola-release and restoring when the phone is screwed.
defy is a phone by motorola, which earns it's name because it defies water and dust
bootstrap is not something that's easy to explain, to keep it simple it allows you to boot into a custom recovery that allows you to flash non-motorola roms, like the project I'm working on. It also allows you to make nandroid backups
nandroid backups are direct dumps of system partitions packed into an .img, kinda comparable to ripping a dvd to a .iso file. The most important system partitions are:
/system <-- stores, well, the system. All apps and drivers and such. The partition is uneditable by default, but by gaining root acces (rooting) you are able to remount the system as read-write instead of read-only and are thus able to edit the system files. You could compare it to program files and the WINDOWS on one partition.
/data <-- stores your data, google login infos and such. It's always accesable. Comparable to my documents.
/cache <-- not really sure what it does
/recovery <-- this is the recovery mode on the phone. It is locked and unreplacable. It can be used to flash official signed motorola images but that's all. That's why we need the bootstrap app to launch our own recovery, the one inside /recovery is unmodify-able.
/boot <-- You've probably heard of this. The locked bootloader means that /boot is unaccesable for us. /boot contains very core stuff and for some people it's better that it's locked down.
Hope that clarifies stuff a little bit

CyanogenMod 6 huh? OK, another term I gotta do some research on, haha. Make it support Chinese please!! I love to play with customROMs but they're all worthless unless I can input and read Chinese on it. But no pressure mate, I'm sure you got a stack of things to do when it comes to developing, I only wish I could do it myself. But if you do have time and resources, I'll do what I can to help.

that is also not completly true
