Smart Keyboard Pro has finally released a MultiTouch Enabled on screen keyboard application that works very well and very responsive compared to the stock android keyboard, but the only thing is that it works for Android 2.0 and up. But i was wondering if any Dev could maybe look into this app and steal some codes from it and maybe incorperate it into their 1.6 and up roms, such as Cyanogen and etc... Thanks. This is all android roms have been missing and if this was incorperated into roms I shall say the roms will finally be complete!!
So did Better Keyboard! and it works on any Android OS version

And why not just asking me, instead of talking about "stealing" my code ?
(I hope you were not talking about the Pro version)
I think it's possible to backport to android 1.5+, but of course multitouch will not work, as it's only available in Android 2.0 framework
Happy stealing
How do I enable this properly? I've done it in settings but still most the apps have the android keyboard
By reading the FAQ
How do I enable the keyboard? Go to "Language and keyboard" settings, and check the "Smart Keyboard" box. Then chose "Smart Keyboard" in the "Input method" dialog, which appears after a long press in any text input box.

Here is a link for swype
ok won't let me post a link
in eris>android development> [ROM]KaosFroyo V10 [06/25] [FROYO]
Page #60
Works on my Eris OTA 2.1. I don't have any idea if it works with any specific rom's at this point.
Thanks to es0tericcha0s for the link
Here you go:
Hope this works for everyone else.
Will this work if I'm getting the "trial expired" error message? Thanks.

No. Google "swype 2.4.44 hvga hacked"
You'll find the .apk file you need within the first few posts, I bet.
Good luck, soldier.
I found a copy of shapewriter that doesnt expire on their forum since my legit beta copy of swype isnt working on my 2.2 rom. It actually runs better than the 2.4 hacked version of swype that I found. It has a few differences between it and swype but I definitely like how much quicker it responds on my eris.
I found a 2.44 hvga cracked copy... It was on some other forum and it works perfect...

Is it safe to assume that these would require being rooted to work? I just did the google search, downloaded and installed...and it doesn't seem to have worked. I have swype in my settings, and I enabled it, but it does not seem to have impacted any of the e-mail or messaging apps that I have installed. I am on 2.1.
I figured it out. I needed to press down until prompted for the input method. Now its working, and I like it. It's maybe a little bit slower than me typing, but its significantly more accurate so in the end its also much faster. Muchas gracias.
Are there any fixes for using pinch to zoom with swype running? Every time I enable the swype keyboard, the multitouch capabilities crash.

Do you also have the DroidX multi-touch keyboard installed? For me, Swype and the DroidX keyboard are mutually exclusive. Having both installed at the same time makes my touch screen very unresponsive.

I have both keyboards installed. Unfortunately, I cannot (don't know how to) uninstall the DroidX keyboard since it was included in my phone's current ROM. However, I did find that once I switched to the default HTC keyboard, multi-touch support came back.

I think if you just avoid opening the multi-touch keyboard after reboot, it won't load its libraries into memory. I could be wrong though.
Why isn't Swype on the market? if its on the new phones why is it still in beta form?
Anyone know if there is any way to get the stock android keyboard on this thing? I can type a lot better on that than I can on the htc keyboard.

you will need to find the .apk somewhere. you can prob find it in any cyanogenmod build. but i think the sense keyboard is way better than froyo and about the same as the gingerbread keyboard
I tried loading the gingerbread keyboard i can't get it to show up though even when its checked wth is going on? all i get is the htc keyboard very annoying anyone know how to get another keyboard to work?
Long press an input box and choose input method to change keyboards.

do you mind posting the apk?
I believe you'll need root for it to work properly. Its a system .apk file which means it'll have to be in the system part of the phone. Especially if you pull it from a ROM like CM.
For those who may not know root gives you that access...Jamezelle will be releasing that tomorrow anyways. ...well today lol

You do not need root to use the gingerbread keyboard, just search 'gingerbread keyboard' in market theres a free and a paid version. Ive only tried the free one and it works great!
Go into the settings and check your settings for the Keyboard, this keyboard is much better than the stock one.
There were a couple of versions of the Gingerbread keyboard floating around. One of which had bugs. I'd greatly appreciate someone posting the .apk for the working one.
Just tried both renamed Gingerbread keyboard on my TB and got FCs. Bummertown!
I have one that works for me. Also, the Gingerbread skin for Better Keyboard is excellent. I'll dropbox the apk and edit this post with the link.

Just thought I'd add in that I tried the multitouch keyboard from be Droid X/2 with no success.

Yeah, It's kinda strange. I pulled LatinIME.apk for cm 6.1( just because I prefer that keyboard) and had no but fc's. Didn't matter if I installed it or dropped it in /system

What do you mean it doesn't do anything? You can't get it to display or what?
You just open up a text. Long press in the box to start typing, Hit Input method. Then select "gingerbread keyboard"
There is a version of the Gingerbread keyboard in the market that seems to work well.
Full version is out on the market!
What are you doing go DL it already!
Left for history
============================================
Looks like its now working!
I'm using it on Vegan Ginger RC1.
Go grab the apk from the link below.
So far it looks really good,
Typing in landscape is easier, since the keys are much bigger than the stock one this rom comes with.
having arrows on screen is a big plus
And it has lots of symbols you can use by long pressing.
Speaking of long pressing you can change the time it takes to long press in the settings.
Will try post some pics later
Here is the site if you guys want to check it out for yourself.

Known issues:
Long pressing on the settings key causes a FC.
Curious if thats the case with other roms
How did you get your keyboard to work with your tablet? I've tried several keyboards besides the one that came with my tablet and ROM (TnT Lite 4.2.5) and it won't even let me select the box to make it a choice.
Try unchecking any other input devices/kb from the settings. I had similar issues when i had other kb enabled

You have to move the Thumb Keyboard apk file from "data/app" to "system/app" via Root Explorer.
Then you reboot and go into your Market and longpress the search text box. You'll be prompted to choose your input method.
Im also testing the keyboard for the developer. So far so good. Always loved the paid version i bought.
I like the new layout though g tabbers will never get to enjoy the multi touch that it now supports (i think our hardware supports only 2 touch points).
Edit: Yes, long press on settings causes a force close on TNT Lite over here too. Reported to developer. I think its actually because he disabled the functionalities for other layouts.

Did the whole process again and it worked! Love it
I downloaded, installed, enabled in settings, and selected as the input method. So far it's working just fine. Haven't tested that extensively yet but for now it's pretty awesome.
What's the verdict on this so far? An improvement on the previous version?
Is voice recognition working?
Been using the paid version and it's great. However the voice to text doesn't work. Is that fixed in this version?
It doesn't? Think you need to activate it in settings. Works on my g tab.

Thanks for the help with getting the keyboards working. This is a nice keyboard.
Voice is working fine on my tablet.
I like this keyboard a bunch, hands down the best I've used on the tablet so far. I'll definitely be buying it when it comes out of Beta.
agree. Very very happy with it.
does this not do spelling or auto correct ?

I have not checked the voice part yet, but spelling and auto correct works fine.
Both the market version (3.0.2) and this version are constantly FCing for me / not working at all under CM7 and I'm pulling my hair out trying to understand why.
The more I use this keyboard the more I like it. I keep noticing things that are just well thought out and useful, like the long-press for smilies on the left space bar and .com (and long-press for .net and others) button. Even common fractions on the center-right number pad. Very cool, very useful, and definitely a keeper. It's been rock solid and stable under VEGAn 5.1.1. I'll definitely be buying a copy when the full version is released.
Please give complete paths. There are several data directories on my system but none contain an apps folder. My system folder does though. I installed it and it shows but i can't enable it. Runs fine with just a standard install on vegan ginger.
Hi
Mokee's SMS & Keyboard app have some nice qualities (like automatically copying the received verification codes into the clipboard & having emojis in whatever app you use) I would like to have in other roms too.
I tried to port them, but as I'm a noob I faced crashes due to missing dependencies or something.
Could anyone be nice to to so?
If it is possible do it for both MK71.2 & MK81.0
Thank you in advance.
Also Aegis is pretty awesome to have as a Magisk module too.
I know, there was a dev who tried it before but with no success.
Here is the unsuccessful attempt: https://github.com/kvsjxd/Aegis4All
AND Here is the original Aegis source: https://github.com/MoKee/android_packages_apps_Aegis
No one?
Seems like you're going to have to do the work yourself...

Perfect time to learn some new skills... :good:
You can build AOSP keyboard using Android Studio, and then build your own module with the apk, look stackoverflow for tutorials.
Mokee's SMS & Keyboard app are awesome, and "Aegis" is the best most have feature of all. I cant do it myself, but can anyone port these?
no one?
Welcome,
Who use this app?
https://github.com/slashmax/AABrowser
Could somebodey describe "instruction manual"?
I try to use but there is no keyboard, no tabs with favourites links
PS. There is some apps in big, main topics and is difficult to find them.
Maybe is better to create topic to every apps separately for example AA Mirror, Car Stream etc?

Yes? So what about AA Browser ?
One sentence on 184 page in General Discussion?
If you need a web browser for android auto head unit webviewauto.apk works great aabrowser works fine or at least did. I tested both with android auto 4.6,4.7,4.8 all worked fine on android 10. Aamirror was updated about a week ago and broke for android 10 the older version works just fine I didn't check but it is possible that aabrowser was updated and got broken.
Edit:
I use phenotype patcher to activate the apps in android 10/ android auto 4.8 but odd thing I noticed some apps didn't require activations.

Thank You for answer.
I want to ask how to use AA Browser? I can open this app on my car radio unit but in AA Browser (on radio screen) there is no keyboard to enter the adress, i don't see favourites tabs or similar things like in "normal browser".
How you choose what you want to see?
It it is working correctly it should let you use you're phones default keyboard. I have kii keyboard 2 installed.

In CarStream or Web Browser keyboard are showing in the same action.
