Is it just me or has better keyboard disappeared off the market? I had to reflash generic UK and root/go back up to 2.3.3, but when I restored with Titanium Backup, I got the unlocker for Better Keyboard but not the app itself.
Now I'm stuck in an odd position where I can't find it on the market for whatever reason. Can anyone else check their market and see if they can see Better Keyboard?
I cant find it either, just a lot of other better keyboard add ons there. Might be worth emailing the dev and asking about it, if not see if there is a back up apk somewhere
Found it, I assume the dev changed name:
Better Keyboard 8
Here's the old link Old Better Keyboard 8

Yeah that was very strange.. I knew that it was named Better Keyboard 8, but no results came up for me yesterday. I can find it now so all is well.
Thanks for checking.
Their developer account got busted for some weird reason google apparently saw valid. But i assume they are back in buisiness .

Is it just me or has it been pulled again, guys? Even downloading the addons doesn't work!

The dev got banned, started a new account and re-released it, then got banned again - looks like he's gone for good now!

Thankyou for the information. That's bad luck, it was easily the best keyboard for me.

I really like Ultra keyboard, does so much and is so customisable but needs a bit of an update - also you have to disable it to use the dpad/touch pads which is very annoying, I love swype and I love swiftkey, I just want them to merge together that would be the best keyboard!

I have Ultra currently, I like it I just haven't worked out how to add a smiley key to it, and it mucks up my colons (puctuation mark - not bodily organ ) every time I try to do one. It is good though.
On a related note, I must be the only person on Earth who doesn't enjoy Swype/Swiftkey at all! Everyone seems to rave about it, yet I can't stand it!
Bit of an update guys, apparently the Developer account was pulled for some dodgy skins in Open Home. They're not going to deal with Google again, but the apps should become available on Amazon App Store soon!
Better Keyboard moved to SlideMe

Sorry to summon gost of the past, but someone knows what happen with this keyboard?
I used all time but recentlt I plaing with roms and want instal it again.
Or maybe someone knows good keyboard with chunky buttons most of them got small and my big fingers always pushes wrong ones.
Thanks
Sorry to revive a year-old thread, but seeing as people who search for better keyboard will see this thread on google, the viable option for those still wanting to use it is to either install the Amazon store or find the better keyboard APK. Both can be found with a google search. "Better Keyboard APK" "Amazon app store APK" For those who dont know what an APK File is (Making this new-droid user friendly) you copy the APK file onto your device and select it with a file manager to install it.
Hey... After this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309721 and this - http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...am-sandwich-galaxy-nexus-system-app-dump.html occurred, I began meddling around with the APKs and found one that looked REALLY interesting.
Galaxy4.apk
It appears to be the Galaxy Nexus "Galaxy" Live Wallpaper!
I was wondering if anyone is working on or already has got this .apk functioning on Gingerbread?
A new Galaxy Live Wallpaper would be "astronomical"... lol.. (excuse the lame humor)
After peeking at the images in the APK it looks amazing. I was wondering if anyone could get this working on 2.3+? Or perhaps could point me in the direction to learn how to get it working on Gingerbread?
I'm aware of this ∙∙∙
"Currently the apps are Odexed, so they can't be conventionally installed or resigned. And the current iteration of Baksmali doesn't work with the deodexing process. I'm sure somebody will be able to do so or Baksmali will get an update to work with it. But it'll take some time, a lot of great things coming for Android nonetheless."

Any ideas?

A couple people already tried to port it to 2.3.x, but the thing is... it uses a new rendering method that was introduced in Honeycomb.
So you'd have to completely rewrite the whole thing to get it on 2.3
Or... try to get a jpg out of it. (maybe get a couple screenshots from a device?)
Won't move but will give you the ICS look.

Really? Could you point me in the direction of that information?
Well there is a PNG image file inside the APK that could essentially be used as a stationary wallpaper. And as a matter of fact I already did that. And it was very nice looking...
But I'm more interested in the Live Wallpaper! lol...
Bumpity bump...
Anyone?

Hi,
Look over here : https://market.android.com/details?...pZC5saXZld2FsbHBhcGVyLmljc2NsYXNzaWMubGl0ZSJd (Free) and https://market.android.com/details?...kLmxpdmV3YWxscGFwZXIuaWNzd2FsbHBhcGVyLnBybyJd (Pro)
Hey guys, thanks for the replies...
That's actually not the wallpaper I'm referring to.
This one looks like the "Galaxy" live wallpapers from the Galaxy S devices... You know, the rotating Galaxy?
I seen it on the Galaxy Nexus recently and fell in love with it even more...
The APK was bundled in with the original Galaxy Nexus system app dump. I'm still very very interested in this!
Any ideas? I wish I still had the apk. I had downloaded it but I lost it somehow... I may have accidentally deleted it.
But like I said in my OP, I had opened up the APK and peeked inside to see what the app was. I noticed images of a galaxy and a couple other galactic related images. After seeing it in action I'm absolutely blown away. ME LIKEY! ME WANT!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39653306#post39653306 Check my instructions here!
The .apk is below, please report whether it works.
According to Sky it should only work on:
HTC Desire
HTC Desire S
HTC Desire HD
HTC Incredible
HTC Sensation
Samsung Galaxy S
Samsung Galaxy S II.
And it only works on Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3), so no ICS yet using the official app.
There are also some issues with root and DRM begin not able to see some content.

You have an S2 which is supported can you upload?!
I think root only blocks not live tv, which is still annoying.

Yeah - i'd love to try to see if the .apk might work - no harm since its a free app anyway - We could be waiting a long time to get it on other devices. Especially like a tablet.......... Any upload would be greatly apreciated
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo
Apparently it's compatible with the HP Touchpad, but can't test until I get home tonight.
I sent it to my touchpad too I will check tonight. Disappointed about no ICS love for my Nexus ...
Anyone able to get the APK file up? I want to try it anyway
Just got it from my Desire....
I've installed this on my rooted Galaxy Nexus (4.02) and when I try and sign in it says," Sorry, Sky Go is not currently supported on this device. Please see FAQs for more information.". :-(
Installs and runs on rooted galaxy nexus, however when you go to sign in, a message pops up saying sky go is not supported on this device. going to take a lot more trickery to convince it that its running on one of the other devices. Thanks for the APK though.
I've installed it onto my GS2 (Villian Rom 3.0 (2.3.5) rooted obviously) installs fine but will only play Sky News.. all over channels in my subscription just sit on the loading screen.
Sometimes a error flashes up briefly but to quick to see what it says.
As Sky News is a free to air channel this must be down to DRM restrictions on the other channels and therefore this is why its checking for root access???
Thanks for the upload, installs fine on my Nexus but then I cannot sign in, "unsupported device"
thanks for the file tried running it on my transformer, it installs loads in horizontal mode only and won't let me login as my device isn't supported yet! But its a start I suppose cheers
*waits for someone clever to "tweak" the .apk to make it work*
Wouldnt changing the buildprop to that of the SGS2 make it work?
I think thats what we will all be waiting for now, I just wonder who will be first, tweaked version from xda devs or oficial version for ICS from Sky.
I can't even download it because of root presumably.
Anyone know if it works on jailbroken iPhones?

Root blocking things on my desire HD. Not even sky news loading.everything gets stuck on 0%
yeah it works on jailbroken iPhones so blocking root makes no sense
"Not supported" message on my CM9 SGS2, eagerly awaiting some clever dude to tweak it!
As an added data point, stock Original Galaxy Tab, .apk from this thread, starts OK but blocked on login due to being an "unsupported device".
Hi guys. Hope this is the right place for my question.
Yesterday after a wipe on my GNex i was downloading from the PlayStore all my apps and i've noticed that the MIUI Mimimalistic Theme is gone.
I've bought it some times ago and i've always used it on my screens.
Does anyone know why it's gone?
Will be back?
I've tried to look here on xda and google but can not find any answer
There was a bit if a issue regarding these icons. The designer was accused of stealing them from a XDA member. Both were removed from the Play Store.
Having finally got the chance to instal both icon sets, I can assure you they are pretty different. I MUCH prefer Minimal MIUI to the other set. The quality is better and it includes more icons. Hopefully it will return to the Play Store shortly.

To be honest I wouldnt count on it. Alot of MIUI things are being removed from the play store for violating copyrights and being known for taking the work of others and claiming it as their own.
Today I've sent an email to KXNT, the designer of the theme, and he said he's working to solve the issue.
We just have to wait and pray lol
Oh man...had paid for it and it's so good. So many icons to use... :/

Looks like his new version is up. The name has changed due to "MIUI" apparently being copyrighted. You can read about it on kxnt's tumblr.
Here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.launchertheme.kxnt.ui
So we have to buy it all over again??
Hello guys,
If anybody interested in getting the new Google Now Launcher, I tested the app in the link provided below. It seems to work fine, even "ok google" seems to work (only after restart), thought I did not test it in other languages except English...
This surely is not my work, I just wanted to share this find on xda. Thank the OP in the thread linked below.

Edit: Wow this seems extremely outdated... Maybe someone can point us towards a much more recent version...
Edit 2: It seems now it is available on play store.. the latest version.
Huh, you got this to work? I tried this out a couple of months back but was getting force closes.

I did not do anything special. Just installed the apk. I guess it has something to do with the version of the Google search app. If it is new enough, it works.
I read somewhere that the launcher app itself is part of the google search an the launcher.apk is just a pointer/bridge. Does not really have much code. Code is within the search app.
Yea, that is true how they communicate with each other. Guess I may have went about it the wrong way back then which is why I ran in to problems.

It seems that Google now launcher on the play store was updated to support more devices.
Maybe thats the reason, why its now working.

Now what I need is a aosp like lock screen that would allow me to answer a call without unlocking the phone first. Which seems quiet difficult on sense phones [emoji17]
