[KEYBOARD] Another stable CIME keyboard

I've seen in the forum before there's a link to download the CIME keyboard which extracted from Acer. But that apk have a lot of bug. It's just only work in full-screen Hand Writing. I took a look around and can't discovered anything about this thread for a long time. Few days ago, I walked in to the mobile center in Xiamen, China then asked them that how to make the Nexus One to be able use CIME with stable Hand Writing mode. They look at my phone and said that taking a breath. Not too long, they return me Nexus One CM5.0.6 with fully functional of Chinese Hand Writing mode. No more waiting, I use Linda Manager to back up it for you.
How to install
1.Copy the file to your SD card.
2.Menu > Settings >Language & Keyboard
3.Select language & region to be 中文 next one from the last that's mean Simplifies Chinese.
4.Launch Linda Manager what can download from Market.
5.Browse the apk and install it.
6.Back to Menu > Settings >Language & Keyboard (Please use your sensitivity to go to setting because of this time it's Chinese).
7.Check at new check-box to on.
8.reboot. <-- recommend
9.Change your language & region back to English (I used Thai-ไทย it go error just can use with Chinese and English but the another I haven't try).
10.Enjoy with CIME. This version has also extracted from Acer V.1.0.0
Summary
Do not forget to install on Chinese region mode unless you do, you will face with force close in keyboard setting.
PS.Sorry for my bad Eng. I'm Thai.

Thanks. This works great.. ！

This is actually a pretty stable Chinese handwriting IME. Much better than the one extracted from HTC and it's a APK....Love it..Thanks a lot for sharing..
Just a side note, any file manager will do it, there is no need to use Linda manager.
I didn't changed my region setting to Simpfied Chinese and still able to set it up.

Yes, it can set up but can't adjust some setting.

[Q] Import dictionary into stock keyboard

I always used swiftkey on my N1. Now I have a Nexus S and I really like the stock keyboard, but there is no Dutch dictionary on the Nexus S.
Is it possible to import a custon(Dutch) dictionary into the stock keyboard? That would be really nice

You could try this package I created from CyanogenMOD 7 for Nexus S. It can however be installed on ModacoROM as I have and probably also stock nexus s.
It has the dutch keyboard/autocorrect hidden under 'Italian'. I didn't know how to get it under its own language. So I abused the Italian language for that.
I'm not sure if you need root either to install, anyway good luck with it.
If you have successfully installed it, you'll get another Android keyboard in your language and keyboard menu. Select the languages you want and Italian for the dutch dictionary. Please be aware you need to set them in both settings when you click "Input Languages" (it asks you to complete action using).
Should be fairly safe, you can remove it under manage applications and then choosing "Android keyboard". The stock keyboard that ships with the device itself and can't be removed afaik.
good luck.

Is it possible to add custom keyboard languages (that are defined in the SDK) without root?

I think you would need to build/compile it from AOSP. What I'm doing is probably quick and dirty but it works (I'm still new to this android development). Think you need root though to install this.
If you like I could try and make another APK with Swedish keyboard/autocorrect hidden under the Italian language.

That would be awesome!

Oke. Here is the Swedish APK. Select Italian 2 times when you try to select the input languages (for each action).
Might need a reboot to have it work, didn't need it here. Also I'm on a rooted nexus s and haven't tested it without root.
I'v tried removing it from application management, which works. After that you are back to the stock keyboard. Looks safe so far
have fun..
note: I used adb install LatinIME.apk to install this.

Thanks, I've tried but can't get it to work. What do you mean with: Select Italian 2 times when you try to select the input languages (for each action)?
EDIT: Okay, understood. Still doesn't work. Unrooted also.

Hmm.. So it installs and you get another android keyboard in your settings menu right?
What might help is installing another keyboard (free from market). set that as default (select it as input method in browser for instance). go to settings and select the recently installed android keyboard i gave you. deselect all languages in the input languages menu (once for each action popup). close settings, open it up again. select english and italian in input languages (once for each action popup) and close settings.
now open text messaging or anything else that uses the keyboard. select the android keyboard as input method. hold the spacebar and select italian. it should now give you swedish predictions.
i'v seen it here also that it at times didn't give me dutch, but after redoing all the settings it fixed it.
just make sure you have enabled the keyboard in the settings menu and set the settings for it like i said. if it doesn't work i don't know.

Is there any other way to get, for example, the Dutch dictionary in the Gingerbread keyboard, without having to abuse one of the existing languages? Can't you just add additional languages?
I'm using a Nexus S, and I heard that there are versions of the phone that download additional keyboards during the initial setup, based on the location of the phone (network, country, ...), if they have an internet connection available, see for example this screenshot: h~t~t~p~:~/~/~plixi~.~com~/~p~/~67798426 (can't post a link, so just delete all ~ chars).
I'm also wondering if this method won't cause problems when you get an OTA upgrade (e.g. to 2.3.3). Will you need to do it all over again? :-s
Thanks!

Has there been any progress on this? I don't know why android doesn't just include all languages possible. If an iPhone can do it, surely our phone should!

I heard that Android 2.3.3 adds support for a lot more languages, also on the US/UK Nexus S, including Dutch ...

[Q] use stadard keyboard

Does anyone know how to use the standard 2.2 keyboard with the microphone button instead of the TNT keyboard?

Bump, cause I wanna know too!
I'm running TnT 3389 with rothnic's enhancement pack v.1 and the 99% market fix. I'd love to have either the stock Android keyboard or something like Swype beta. Ideally I'd like to have voice input and some navigation arrows for editing. While I'm wishing, any chance of copy/paste getting enabled?
I downloaded the Anysoft keyboard from the official market but can't seem to select it from settings>language &keyboard. When I try to select it as my input method of choice, I am offered the warning about it saving credit card #'s, I click OK, then it goes back to the settings>language & keyboard menu without the checkbox next to Anysoft being checked.
What am I missing?

Can't use alternate keyboard with stock ROM
The stock stuff does not allow you to use an alternate keyboard. Sigh....
EVERYONE should call the Viewsonic support number and demand that they enable all 2.2 capability and not block things. If they aren't allowed to install Google apps, that is OK, but they should not srop things like alternate keyboards. All settings that are in a stock Android 2.2 should be there.

[Q] AnySoftKeyboard problem

I am using stock ROM with TnT lite. I really like the stock keyboard but there is an issue for me. I cant write all the characters defined by Windows 1250 (means Slovak, Czech, Hungarian...). I installed AnySoftKeyboard but I cant use it. It is fully installed, I can configure it but I cant switch it on. It always remains unchecked in Keyboard and language settings. Can somebody help me to:
1. How can I support the stock keyboard with those Win 1250 characters, or
2. Switch on the AnySoftKeyboard.
Thanks, guys.
PS Many different characters are accessible by long pressing the key (like French) but not those needed by me.

On TNT and TNT lite, you can check/enable the keyboard under Settings, Keyboard, but the setting won't "stick".
You have to manually copy the .apk file for the /data/app directory to /system/app directory.
To do that, you'll need to at least temporarily root your Gtab. You can do that using z4root.
Once it's (temporarily) rooted, you'll need to move the APK file or files, using either something like root explorer or using a terminal app and command line (mount /system R/W, then copy the file(s)).
Look in the Themes and Apps forum here. There are a number of threads that discuss how to do the file move.
Then, I don't know about TNT lite, but on TNT, when you long press on a text box, it's suppose to popup a selection box to let you select the keyboard, but it doesn't. I have a small app that will let you do that if you PM me.
I don't know about the languages thing, but usually, the app developer has a language pack separately on market for various languages.

Thanks, it works. I can use the both keyboards now. Just the switching between them is a problem as you mention. IT works in word but Excel. I'll PM you.
BTW don't you know if is it possible to download language packs for the TnT stock keyboard?

Keyboard digits and symbols close any app
I upgraded to TNT Lite 4.2. All seemed well except in any application that I need a keyboard when I try to type a number or some symbols the app I'm trying to type into just closes out. It doesn't happen with text. Since the upgrade, I'm showin Tap & Tap, Android and NI Keyboards. There is no box to tick a selection of keyboards. I have tried selection each one and then typing a number but no luck. Can anyone help with this? I can't locate the apk files for these keyboards but I do have root access. What is the UNC file path for the keyboard apk files?
Thanks in advance.
Bob

[Q] 2.2.1 (Serendipity 5.x) input languages

Hey guys,
When setting up Gingerbread Keyboard, it allows to choose more input languages (Settings / Locale and Text / Gingerbread Keyboard / Input Languages). However, when actually typing, switching to the other language still uses English for entry (I'm switching with the slider on the spacebar).
Is there any way to fix that?
many thanks!

I don't use any stock keyboard.
There is one European keyboard in romkitchen.org - but it doesn't work in nonI9000=based ROMs.
So get MultiLing keyboard free from Market.

Well, I'd rather swype with a different language, but lang options on swype seem even more limited... if there was an option to extend it, I'd just stock to that.
thanks for the tip!
Sent from my Captivate + Serendipity 5.11 using XDA App

try i9000 theme forum, there is swype with other languages. see if they work, you always flash back the original if it doesn't.

I had the same issue and solved it by downloading another gingerbread keyboard apk
Download: Keyboard for 2.2 | for 2.1
It's a little late my answer, but anyways

Solved it in the meantime with the Russian Keyboard app: https://market.android.com/details?id=ru.androidteam.rukeyboard. Works well; plus need to switch "Input method" either way from Swype.

Most of the time I use this great gingerbread keyboard and at night when I go to bed sometimes I use Swype.

Totally addicted to swype - by now I just miss the keys on regular keyboards
