When installing the keyboard to system/app are you also pushing the lib file to system/lib? May be worth a try.

whats wrong with the gingerbread keyboard? there are many themes for it too.

Some people feel the multitouch of the DX keyboard is more responsive and key size and spacing are better for those big thumbs.

Again I have a stock Nexus S, I really plan on leaving it like this until another Google update or maybe the next version of CM update. As of now though is there a, method to get the Droid X keyboard on a stock unrooted device?

I dont know if someone engineered a data/app apk or not. May take some searching but to the best of my knowledge they're all flashable or pushable packages for rooted devices.

I had tried flashing the keyboard from the Droid X Gingerbread leaks but it alwsyd brings me a force close when I am about to use it. Why is no one porting this? I really loved the Droid X keyboard on my Vibrant.

The thing is most of these keyboards were ported to froyo. I haven't seen any porting of the gingerblur keyboard yet. Did you try the lib file as I had recommended?

How to extract a keyboard from ROM?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I tried Google and here and I couldn't find an answer. I was wondering how would I extract a keyboard from a custom rom or theme Chooser theme and use it with another? I tried searching for keyboard.apk in root manager and found no results.

I think the stock keyboard is latinime.apk. Not entirely sure but I think that's it.

That's probably what he meant. My T-mobile Nexus S is still on 2.3.4.
A lot of these updates are to get the devices ready for ICS and its features.

Not particularly
2.3.4: Rolled out to all devices - Maintenance release - fixed issues
2.3.5: Rolled out to Sprint Nexus S 4G to resolve signal issues, introduced some SE code
2.3.6: Rolled out to i9020a to attempt to fix Search button bug among others
2.3.7: Introduced Google Wallet
All of the releases since 2.3.3 (which enabled Write support for NFC) have been maintenance releases prior to 2.3.7 which introduced Google Wallet. The ICS branch is a completely separate branch of the development tree.
Mean 2.3.3 .4 .5 and .7 and how y'all think is gonna work Ginger/honeycomb together .... I really would love to get honeycomb itself on my phone ...but that's too much to dream of lol

Make sure to associate a good kernel. I suggest the icup speedy 7 and try to use the lulzactivev2 governor.

I've run several ICS ROMs since getting my NS and I would definately concur that Codename is fantastic. They're on 1.4 now I believe.
I would definitely try Air Kernel by r_data as well. Its so smooth. Best I've tried yet.

rom porting

Since 0.0 is leaving I have seen a lot of people worried about ROM development for the mt4g. I have ported a few ROMs to the mt4g slide because that is my device. Both my wife and daughter have the mt4g. I can port ROMs to this device if there is a demand for it. I need to know more about bugs in the cm ROMs.
Well if your looking for a from to port I'd suggest flinnys cm10 builds in the g2 threads.

Most of the bugs are kernel related. Flashing screen, heating while playing music, etc.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.
What we need is a cm 10.1 4.2 ROM port as we have 4.1.2 latest.
Sent from my Mytouch 4g using xda premium
Well 4.2 I'm not sure how you would port it but I assume it would need some kernel edits. I tried porting on top of 4.1 and got a weird log cat.lol. if anyone knows how to or a guide I would give it a shot. I can port aosp ROMs if I have a base to port with.

Yup, but none without the headset heating up and draining the battery in an hour. They have the bug fix for it in the g2 boards.. flinny and yozgatz know, its a start. Then i can go back to jb.

I can get you a logcat for a 4.2 port, i can give you the port file if you would like. I tried to port it myself, systemUI constantly crashes so the phone is unusuable, i believe its a lib issue.

It probably did, go and change your keyboard to the Samsung keyboard you will see that its different from your original one.

I am on AT&T's S3 (747). After trying many versions of the Note 2 keyboard, this finally worked! Thank you.
While the keyboard works fine, the secondary keys aren't showing up. I have edited the feature.xml file and made the necessary changes, but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions?
