Droid Multi Touch kb doesn't work with FroYo?

Is it just my phone, or does anyone else have the problem where using the droid x multi touch keyboard fc's with the FroYo update?

EDIT...running deodexed froyo with netarchy kernel and riptide theme.
I just installed it and yeah it is force closing on me too.
Have you played around with swype yet?...it is really bad ass.

If you haven't seen yet, the htc froyo keyboard now supports multi-touch, just throwing that out there.
I'm still using swype too btw, but the stock option is really quite nice.

Very true about the multi touch on the stock group sense keyboard. I like it. I however dislike the sound of the space and the enter. If anyone could verify the change it would be great.

NO it does not work. It will not work until Froyo comes out on the DroidX and someone ports over the new version.

Look at this thread, someone has a Droidx running 2.2

I still use swype (quite frequently). However, I still prefer pecking for really long posts for whatever reason.
And yeah...I did realize that the new HTC keyboard does have multitouch and a better word correction system...so I guess this keyboard is obsolete now

Anyone had any luck yet with this. Youtube clips shows promise with this keyboard.
Swype is overated in my opinion, i find the old shapewriter much more accurate and faster to edit on the go but it looks boring and isnt supported anymore.
Hoping Trace gets supported to the point it becomes more accurate and is a viable alternative to Swype etc

I removed HTC Trace on my Sensation for Swype 3 beta.
I find Swype much more accurate and faster.

Shapewriter is now SlideIT on market, I'm using it now. With your swype problem, u can just register with a different email

What do you mean it's linked to your old phone? If you're a beta tester you can log in to your email, install the swype installer, log in and install swype. I've done it on 3 phones already. I actually installed it on the third just yesterday
Make sure that you aren't just copying the apk from one phone and trying to use it on another

SlideIT is different altogether and developed by Dasur. Its not bad and the new 4.0 has skin support finally.
I know Shapewriter is actually now FlexT9 but still it is different. ie/ Shapewriter has smarter editing options, click anywhere on the word to edit it or double tap backspace to delete that word and other shortcuts. I also like the emotcon available on the front page. Also typing 2 words, joining them and then saving that word is also handy, just little features like this that makes Shapewriter so good.
Im yet to find a trace style keyboard that is faster and Swype is average in speed in comparison (thats including the newest Swype version which ive got as well)

Hi, just wondering if it would be possible to remove the direction arrows on the trace keyboard. seems like a wast of space to me?

Green Arrow for keyboard placement

I have searched around and not sure if its just on gingerbread software or not. I use smart keyboard pro and on CM7 or any gingerbread based rom, their is a small green arrow under the txt for placement. That is super handy and i miss it on froyo ROM's. Anybody have any idea of how to get that? Do i need to flash a GB keyboard? Not sure since I noticed it worked on smart keyboard, so i figured it might be an integrated feature, so it may not be just teh GB keyboard.
But that helps me a ton! So I thought I would ask after finding nothing on the forums.

Try thumb keyboard in the market

I believe Burst Plur Star Alpha has this for synergy. Also the latest release of MikGV2.3

I wasn't able to extract and move HTC trace from either source.

Terrible, comes with mikg v 2.3 .
the accuracy was way off. Also the trace feature wasn't available on every application. Didn't work when using google search, web pages,seemed to only work in handcent
I couldn't run back to swype beta 3 quick enough..

[Request] Droid X/2 keyboard for 2.3+ ROMS

To this day I still believe that the keyboard from the Droid x or Droid 2 is the best keyboard to come out. It has huge keys and is very quick to type on. But for some reason it doesn't play nice with gingerbread roms. I can push the apk/lib file to system and lib on Skyraider 4.3 and it works just fine. But using the exact same method it doesn't work on CM7.
Does anyone have any insight into why this is (because SR4.3 is GB leak based)? Or can someone fix it up for cyanogen? My knowledge on this is pretty limited. Thanks in advance.

Skyraider is a 2.2 based rom.
I dint have any other info, sorry, just fyi. I loved that keyboard the most as well but the gingerbread keyboard is almost as good.

You're right my mistake, he just put in some pieces from GB not the base. And the GB is almost as good, but the key size from the X one is what really draws me. Plus I think it looks nice. And yeah that's what I was wondering if it could be pulled out of the update, which is beyond my skill set.

I want this keyboard too. Almost makes me want to go back to older roms just to have the keyboard.

Yeah I know same here. I love CM7 but skyraider is nice just to have it. I'm going to take a closer look at it when I'm back at my computer tonight.

I've been looking for this for months and haven't had any luck. Hopefully someone figures something out.

Until someone finds a fix, I downloaded the keyboard app called MultiLing Keyboard from the market, and seems to work good. the keyboard is almost identical to the droid x keyboard. Also you can change the settings and increase the keys/font size.
