Gingerbread Keyboard

Here is the gingerbread keyboard - mostly compliments of AndroidBruce. I got another version working from my own SDK - but it is really slow compared to this one for some reason. MD5's on the so and apk are the same ????? oh well here is this one if anyone wants it.
Flash as an update.zip - this was only tested by me on stock dk28.
To enable go to settings > Locale and Text > check Android Keyboard.
I had to go up to select input method 3 times to get it it show up in the list...
Known issues:
Seems that user dictionary doesn't work...i'll look into it.
Perks:
it's multitouch, and best of all its not swype (I feel a "Swype is awesome" remark coming)

Differences from this version?

I flashed it. Its just the stock android keyboard with multi touch. I'll keep my swype
Thanks anyways!

They got the Auto correct working. The only thing not working is the vibrate on touch. You guys should collaborate.. Thanks for the hard work...

I give this 12 hours before I merge with the other thread...in fact I might just move both of them to the Apps section

I don't think this counts as an app or theme. Its a PORT that needs continuing DEVELOPMENT to function 100%.
Anyways, the other one I tried made me have to restore because its only for deodexed ROMs. I don't wanna install a rom. I like stock. Will it make me have to restore again?
Ps, I know you said its on stock, butdo you mean the .tar stock or acs rom (which is also considered stock deodexed I think...idk lol)

Thanks for porting the app. Hopefully, all features will be working soon.
I'd say that with this new keyboard, all of the custom keyboards are now largely obsolete. It also renders the hardware keyboard less useful than before, although it's still useful (I'm using the hardware keyboard right now) for longer messages.

[Q] landscape keyboard

Is it possible for anyone to create a landscape keyboard for the touch screen ?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

I believe some of the custom ROMs already have one, at the very least. Poke through the dev forum and see if you can find what you're looking for.

There is no current ROM that has this, it is yet to be seen if this is possible, as it wasn't built in by Samsung. They thought that there was no good way to have a landscape screen keyboard on our phones. So it would take a large amount of integration and work. Anything's possible, but as of now, it doesn't exist and is very far away if anyone is working on it.

last time I tried gokeyboard it worked in landscape. but it kept trying to translate my english into chinese so I uninstalled... but try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gokeyboard&hl=en

not working for me , im gonna pm you to see if i can try to get it working

well, it used to work. you can see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15247397#post15247397 I was using it around the first of july. I tried it again today and I could not get it into landscape mode.
So, it USED to work, but apparently no longer does. Darn GO dev team for their frequent updates. (I think all go apps are some of the best btw, great/frequent updates)

Htc ime mod works in landscape I have the .apk but idk how do post it

Word, works and looks great thanks for posting. IF anyone is wondering, i used astro to install, then went to my settings, locale and text then deactivated my stock keyboard, and activated the new one.

Does the Galaxy S have the swype or regular virtual keyboard with landscape mode? If so, couldn't it work on the sidekick? If anyone would email me those keyboard apks, I'd be a guinea pig for that.

I still don't know how to do it I'm on the xda free app but ayoteddy posted it so great way on staying on top of things I habe the same one I believe
Edit: yes i have the same one just a diff color

Ok so i was looking for a specific colored htc ime keyboard only because u can use it in landscape mode on our phones and i wanted something to match my theme right now i have made my own custom keyboard from fishing around through google and xda go to www.gimpsta.com and u can create and generate your own custom keyboard register its free and use the high res froyo choice works wonders i created my own keys colored letters symbols have a yankees symbol on the space bar and homer simpson on a couch as the background it works great thanx gimpsta

download the apk, place it on your sdcard, then use something like Root Explorer to move it into /system/app.

Awesome. Thanks!

Yes your right but i dont mind that only the homescreen cannot rotate, i never use landscape when working on the homescreen.

How is black Swype different?
Is it just the color of the keys? Or is the whole keyboard smaller? A smaller swype keyboard that doesn't take up so much of the screen would be great.

I have the tablet beta installed which is black and orange and it's very small in portrait, and half screen in landscape.

Has anyone got a version that is scaled?
This is scared too small for the note.
I would love a themed swype though! In black pref

Awhile ago i was playing around with voice settings trying to get a different voice (for navigation, etc) & ever since then i lost the Mic on the swype keyboard.
So I downloaded & installed this black swype (to try & get the mic back) & deleted the system one like a post in this thread advised & now I've lost swype completely :-(
Any suggestions? Or maybe I'll just wait till i update the firmware or wait till ics?

[DEV][TW4]Fixed&Modified Touchwiz Development

Hey,
So I'm very busy with fixing Touchwiz 4, from XXKQE. I also modified the dock, now can you add 5 icons in it. This topic is just for the development state.
If you guys have requests just leave it here in this topic.

Sounds good maybe you can turn CrapWiz into TouchWiz ^^

Like the resources very much...

For me is important have a icon style ics

Not sure if I can do that, then you have to make an completely new rom because you have to replace The system icons.

i prefer a fixed touchwizlauncher 4, no modified.
would be nice, thanks.
i have tried to change the libs. took the libs from a modified touchwizlauncher 4 from xxjw4 for i9000 but nothing happens. everything works as before
i think we must look for a working touchwizlauncher 4 without bugs on other devices and we can take them libs.
maybe the libs makes the issues in icon placement storage.

maybe someone can make a flashble cwm package with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883&highlight=sgs2

No offence for your efforts, floris, but I'm missing the point of going trough the hassle of trying to fix / improve a buggy tw4 launcher, while someone else had already done that? Fr4ggor's tw4.5 next gen launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883 works great, it's stable, extremely customizable (changeable grid and docksizes, themes, including ICS). It does everything you want to do with the buggy tw4 launchers from the valuepack (making it stable + some extra options), making me wonder why you're trying to do this?

Please upload it as soon as you can! I prefer the original touchwiz 4 rather than the modified tw 4.5 and also the crap tw 3.0... I've installed the value pack because I want tw4, but I have 6 pages because on a page there is only approximatly 6 apps.. so I really need a tw4 fix, and than I can have 2 pages.

Indeed, you learn best by doing it yourself! I guess you are trying to learn how to make apps yourself? If this is your first experience with creating apps, you might want to start from the very beginning. That way you can really learn how to make something from scratch. there are plenty of great tutorials out there, who'll also make you understand the way apps are working behind the scenes (the states apps can be in, the way android and dalvik vm handles them).
Anyway, good luck experimenting and learning

@FlorisNL, you might want to take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUOWNXGRc6g&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=SP2F07DBCDCC01493A . Despite being slightly outdated (almost a year old, but still recent enough) it is one of the best series of tutorials I came across with.
I'm somewhere around part 50 - out of 200 - and it's comprehensible for anyone without experience with xml or java.
@Tomajdon I guess you mean in the app drawer? Just open the app drawer, hit the 'menu-key' and select 'edit' (in whatever language). Now you can move app-icons around so you can rearrange everything.

No I mean that I have 6 pages and for example on page six i have 2 icons only. But if i move that two icon to page 5 and i clear my ram or tap to advanced task killer and clear the apps my two icons from 5 page go back to page 6... So i can not move my icons because when i clear m y ram my icons set back to default... And this annoys me very much. So if you aolved this problem please upload that fix i would be pleaseful.
