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!

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

Thanks icezar1! I'll keep an eye out
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

may i request someone to make an apk for the chinese keyboard & hwr that initially comes with X10?
i recently updated my phone and its gone don't know what happened zzz
i assume you can read chinese rite?
here you are
http://androidin.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=122272&highlight=
the original chinese input is suck,just install google,QQ,or Sougou pinyin from the market
Can´t change chinesse input method!!!
Dear all, I have the big problem that I have in my x10 mini the touchpal in chinesse as default, it is a system app. So I can´t use other input method or app to write sms. How can I change the lenguaje of this app?? I want spanish or english!! Are there any apps which make this work?? Thanks
I too am looking for this input in an apk. Willing to 'donate' for the cause should it work.
I know other inputs are possibly better but I'm used to this one now and can make it work as fast and easy as I want it to. Familiarity is good.
edit: and I'm learning Chinese but not fluent enough yet to read the above linked forum and request a Chinese person put it together.

Are you talking about this one?
^^ that's the one but I tend to use the qwerty for pinyin input. Do you have an apk for it? Are you able to mash one together? I'm still fairly new with android stuff and don't want to stuff up my beloved.

Yes, yes I do.
I've attached it here.
If you'd like, you can donate to me here
but it's not really a big deal.
Cheers, is this your work?
I pulled it from the system off my phone.
Wasn't much, but yeah I did it.
Enjoy
Alright cool. I don't mind honoring my previous statement and donating a small amount, but I'll test it out first to see if it works.
Thanks again
is there one for chinese hand writing input?
The HWR is handwriting recognition. I tested this now and it works great!
Thanks to zephyrix for sorting this out
Question
Hi Everyone
I'm a new user, I just brough a sony ericsson x10a from At&t, And my phone don't have chinese keyboard on the phone, can someone please tell me step by step how to install it. Also, how can i uninstall all the app that come with the phowe.....thanks and have a nice day
1. Go to settings > Applications and check the unknown sources box.
2. From the market install an app installer (I use App Installer by ModMyMobile)
3. Download the apk file uploaded earlier in this thread
4. Open it with your new app installer. This will install the keyboard.
To switch to this keyboard press and hold in a text field and go to input method and select Chinese Keyboard.
To switch from English to PinYin to Handwriting Recognition press the cog icon in the bottom left of the keyboard.
To change settings of the keyboard press and hold the cog icon in the bottom left of the keyboard.

Did the apk say it installed correctly? If so then you should be able to select the Chinese keyboard by pressing and holding your finger on the text box and selecting 'Input method' then Chinese keyboard. Note: I've not tried the apk here on the android 2.1 update. It may not work.
it's not working on version 2.2.1
i'll recommend HKIME

Are you using an X10? It's worked on all X10 ROMs I've tried, but won't install on anything else..

So yeah, I spend the whole day searching for a better phonepad keyboard. But everything that pops out is for qwerty. Texting is a major communication tool in our country and yeah, english is not the norm so I can't use Swype even though I'm dying too use it. So a better phonepad keyboard is the solution.
I wanna change it since the Optimus 1 keyboard is too cramped for me, I'm looking for one with bigger keys.
Thanks in advance!!
What exactly are you looking for? A number pad style keyboard? Blackberry style keyboard (2 letters per key)? Or just a better QWERTY?
I'm not sure but I think the HTC_IME keyboard allows various styles to choose from (all of the above 3 I mentioned). There is also Swype which eliminates the need for large keys (because you don't press the keys, you use motion gestures).
Me, I personally love the stock Android keyboard. It seems pretty good at knowing what I'm pounding out.
A number pad keyboard. The ones that you see from older phones
Search for the IME mod keyboard. It's got a phone keypad style keyboard.

WOW!!!!!! It works! Thank you so much~!!! This is exactly what I'm looking for! You can even edit the smileys! Perfect! Thanks!
Oh no. Wait, I had a bit of a problem.
I don't know what is the setting called but I'm pretty sure it's present in tis app.
When I use the phonepad keyboard, for example I press "2" so the 1st letter that will come out is "A" I noticed that the time that "A" is highlighted is quite long compared to the native android keyboard, thus slowing my typing down. It does not only affect the phonepad keyboard but also the compact qwerty. How do I edit this setting? Thanks!!
Please I really need help!
Sorry, you cannot edit that setting.
Try instead Better keyboard. It also has a keypad-like one.
Guys!
Does anybody know how to add more languages for Gingerbread keyboard in TNT_Lite 4.2.2?
Actually I need Russian.
I installed MoreLocale and chose Russian - it translated all menus, but didn't give opportunity to pick Russian in Input languages setting...
I appreciate any advices.
Thanks!
You need to find the libjni_cyrillicime.so lib file the libjni_latinime.so is the english file. It needs to go into the /system/lib/ dir.
Didn't help me.
I even installed Gingerbread keyboard from market - but can't choose it from Language&Keyboard setting.

What ROM are you on.
Vegan, and Adam allow changing of the keyboards easily, TNT-lite (due to TNT) did not till 4.2.0
On the google search bar long press, and the selection menu will show up allowing you to select the gingerbread keyboard.
the gingerbread keyboard was installed by default in 4.2.1 TNT-Lite, 4.2.2 added the adam keyboard.
Hope that makes it clearer
I use TNT_lite 4.2.2 (latest one).
And yes, I know that I can choose between keyboards.
Bot none of them has option "Russian".
I tried to replace libjni_latinime.so to one that comes with my Nexus One - didn't help.
Adam keyboard setting crashes every time that I touch Languages button.
If I install any keyboard from Market - I can't activate it in Settings menu.
Checkbox doesn't become checked.
So I still have the same problem.

Doesnt look like cyrillic has been hacked in yet
Finally found Russian Gingerbread keyboard here - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=207680
Put it in /system/app an fixed permissons.
Works perfect!!!
I've been following dexters froyo and recently took the leap and installed v1.3 of his ROM and am very very grateful TO him FoR helping us out with such great features and performance Of Android 2.2.1.
But my qualm is that THE default dictionary (in v 1.3) has some peculiar problems Of capitalizing some unwanted letters and wOrDs As you VSN (can) notice in this post.
This is proving TO BE a great nuisance FoR effectively utilizing my XT 720 productively.
MY PLEA:
Dear Dexter,
Please provide ys (us) with a clean and usable dictionary which would make this a great ROM.
Sincerely,
Your Fan.
You sure these words arent in your custom dictionary? There is no dictionary file at all with the included multitouch keyboard.

Yes. This is with a clean install Of Dexter's Froyo upgrading from stock 2.1 update 1 from Motorola.
And in THE language options in settings, I've tried both UK and YS (US) language options. Also removed all THE user defined wOrDs from within that menu.
Just try typing THE following wOrDs and let NE (me) know.

I get weird spelling suggestions too but it's the auto-correct that drives me up the wall. It seems to always want to put names in. Like "any" gets auto replaced with "Amy" etc. Really annoying but I don't know what to do about it.
Why not just use a 3rd party keyboard? I prefer SwiftKey.

Edit: Swiftkey.net has a beta (VIP) program.

There is a keyboard setting that says to use names from your contact list as auto correct suggestions, I don't remember if its in the multitouch keyboard or another Ive used though.

Am using the Android 2.3 keyboard by Steven Lin available on the market. Looks good and is a pleasure to use
I've used like everything from the latest beta of swiftkey to swype to 8pen to gingerbread keyboard, but the multitouch keyboard has the best feeling and spacing to it imo - and I make the least mistakes with it. Wish dictionary would work.
Hi everybody,
I made an application for changing the keyboard layout of the dock if you are root. You need to do it every time you flash a new rom, but with it it's faster.
For people who don't know : When you use the dock keyboard, if the virtual keyboard is not the Asus one, the dock layout is in Qwerty, it's a bit annoying for people who are not English.
Anyway, the app is translated (English/ French).
Please feel free to post comments.
By the way, it is designed to work only with the Transformer. It should work on other Transformer modele (Prime, HD etc...), assuming it is the same files.
I made a version with ad if you want to support me.
Market link :

Please feel free to report me bug, or anything else.
Thanks XDA !
There is a bug with Switkey (market version) and Fr layout, Caps lock doesn't work, but with SwiftKey Beta (and obviously next market version) it is fixed.
First of all thx for the nice work...
i downloaded the apk and tried it out on the nightly build of cm9.
i can launch the app, but then the selectable item stays black, so i can not change the lay out... i never got the question for superuser permission, so i guess that is where it somewhere went wrong?
The app don't need the su permission to list language files. The problem is probably in CM9 , i will try it this week-end.
Hi, what rom did you used ? Because i tried Megatron just now, and it worked.
I used the nightly build of cm9... straight from cm...
Okay, i tried something but it didn't work, i think i know the solution, but i need some time.
Ok, i tried something, it didn't work. I spend most of my day here.
Then i went to the Transformer Settings, and found an "Advanced" menu (just after "Apps"), where you can change the dock's layout.
Hey NitroG42, I just found your app here, installed it, works right out of the box and bought the ad-free version (even though I'm adfree) to say thank you!
Thank you very much !
Hi guys, i added on demand the dvorak layout. You can find it on the market version !
Hi, cool app
For french layout, caps and caplock don't work, so sad...
(it work for reaching numbers , but not for capitalizing letters)
You use swiftkey aren't you ?
Because it came from the market version of Swiftkey. Switch to the beta or wait for the update.
tried it.
1. it works but it's not easy to understanding the method of adding dvorak layout.
2. the search button doesn't work after switched to dvorak layout (US).
overall is good.
sorry not working
not working i'm using cm10
My app isn't working on CM rom, sorry.
