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] Restoring Stock Keyboard

So I've looked around and haven't been able to figure this one out.
Basically, I flashed the new ICBINB ROM last night, which looks pretty good so far, but I *hate* the keyboard. I actually prefer the old 3X4 keypad with T9.
Is there any way to get the old Samsung keyboard back?

You could try ripping it out if a stock ROM. I'm not sure what it would be called though.
I'm curious, why don't you like a qwerty keyboard? It makes texting a whole lot more efficient than the 3x4 keypads.

Yeah I am not sure how to pull the stock keyboard out of a stock rom. Anyone have ideas?
I find the 3x4 much faster and I make many more mistakes on the qwerty pad.

Ah, ok. Didn't know that. But back to my question -- is there any way for me to install the old keyboard so I can set up 3X4 keypad or am I screwed?
It's almost a dealbreaker for an otherwise great looking ROM.

I don't think Swype BETA has the 3x4 keypad. I think that's only available in the stock Swype. Try ripping it out of one of the Froyo ROMs or the older GB ROMs. Those should probably have the old Swype.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket ICS Issues

Hello everyone. I have a few questions of which I'm trying to get resolved. Today I upgraded my phone to Ice Cream Sandwich and I've noticed a few issues. First, the icons on my phone such as the messaging icon, phone icon and camera icon look exactly the same as they did before I upgraded it. I've noticed from photos online that with ICS they look different. Like the phone icon is blue, and the messaging icon looks different. Is there something wrong or is it that the icons were not changed on the Galaxy S II Skyrocket? Also, when I go to the applications screen where all my applications are, it still makes you scroll to the right or left to see the different pages of apps. I thought that they changed it to where you scrolled up and down instead of left to right. My phone has also been changing my home screen wallpaper on its own. (before the update and after still) If anyone can answer my questions, I'd be deeply appreciated! Thanks again! Nicci

Note: I haven't tried official stock ics or the stock leaks. I am on Sky ICS with official rogers ics base
It doesn't sound like any real problems are occurring. Icons can be changed through replacement launchers such as Apex or Nova. I am not sure about the messaging app color. As for app drawer scrolling, this should be able to be changed in settings if u prefer vertical scrolling over horizontal. These aren't actual issues but rather preferences and things that can be changed by simply taking a stroll through settings
I have no idea about the wallpaper changing on its own

I checked the touchwiz launcher (which I had only used for 5 min after flashing sky ics) and it appears u are correct in that there isn't an option to change the layout here.
Download Apex or Nova launcher (for a more pure ics feel) and u will be able to change the app drawer to your liking. It is smoother than Touchwiz and looks much nicer as well. I prefer Apex but both are good. Give them a try and also download home switcher from the play store. This way when you select a launcher as default you won't have to clear defaults to simply load another installed launcher. The one problem is the set default within the app doesn't work to my knowledge so if u want to change your default launcher you will have to clear defaults anyway.

Your information is beyond helpful! None of this was known to me beforehand. After doing research, what I'm noticing is it seems to be that most ICS features are only on the Nexus. Such as the ability to access the camera from the lock screen, and numerous other features. A lot of the features from the ICS website simply are not on this phone. Odd.

I didn't review the ics website but camera can be accessed through lock screen through the use of an app. You can use widget locker $$ (haven't used) but have read good things) or go locker (free). I used go locker previously because I would use go launcher while on gb. Go locker requires you to have go launcher downloaded in order to use btw. Another one you could try is magic locker (also haven't used).
What are these other missing features you are referring to?

I see. I'll have to go on the website again and read it over. Thing is, why are we having to download apps for these functions to work? If it is ICS, shouldn't the features be universal on every phone, and not just one? (Such as the Nexus S)

This is different then ics on the nexus because that is pure Google while the Skyrocket gets Samsung's touchwiz UI over the top.

If you are having trouble with the keyboard then go into app and clear data in android keyboard. It can be found under all apps. If this doesn't help ur messaging problem (I don't think it will) then u may want to clear data in the messaging app (as long as you are fine with loosing your mms)

Just wondering.. How difficult would it be to incorporate the swipe right to call/swipe left to text feature from TW roms to CM10/AOKP? Please don't kill me for asking, I'm just curious.

Huh? U guys must've missed a setting, because I have exdialer and from both the call log and contacts page I can swipe left/right to call and text
As for.messaging, exdialer doesn't have a messaging app component, so up until recently I've been using gosms. I have since found the cm10 theme Xperia s 2.0 which makes the stock sms app look AMAZING and have been using that

I meant the contacts app. Not the contacts within exdialer. I flashed embryo and had it for a couple days. I'm stuck between aokp because of the rezound mod or embryo for the swipe feature.

I tried using exdialer for a day, it just didn't feel right for me. Though I will keep an eye on it just it case the developers develop a similar messaging app. As of now I'm on embryo because my earphones broke.

[Q] Can anyone mod the ICS dialer to add the contacts tab?

As y'all know, after upgrade to official ICS on the atrix, there is no "contacts" tab in the dialer like GB stock dialer had. (No, i don't seem to find a 3rd party dialer app like stock GB one.)
I see that there is a modded dialer with contact's for Samgun's ICS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326674&page=19
Can I request the experts here create one like this for Atrix's official ICS release? :fingers-crossed:

My wife and I would also love to see this model.

I don't know if this is just with CM10, but if you click the "head and shoulders" tab in the dialer, you can scroll down past the favorites and see ALL your contacts.
Again I'm not sure if this is just a CM10 feature. But maybe it could help..

the asiaretail Phone app had a contacts tab.. i have the odex and apk for it if someone wants to deodex and try ..
also in the Numa rom which is at&t ota ics based, the phone app has a search button on the centre bottom of recent and favorite tabs.. that gives you access to the phonebook.. maybe its there on stock ics too..

Search button brings contacts up in dialer...don't know if ya knew but if not, now ya do lol. Edit: didn't see ya mentioned that lol. But yes, stock does same with search button. Brings people app up.
