I have searched hi and low to find the answer to this question.
The Android Default Keyboard cannot be installed in a Sense rom without it's necessary framework.
I have attached two flash-able update that work with our phones:
The Droid X keyboard (I found nothing special about this)
The Default Android Keyboard, and a modded one with voice input.
I have also attached a modded HTC keyboard that I found to work with our phones.
I am currently looking into updating Swype to the newest version and also adding the EVO 4G keyboard.
-I Take no credit for these. I'm merely sharing the items in this sector of the forum.
After playing around with a few things I have discovered the following:
The default Android, Droid X, an EVO keyboards all install with the same package name. What does that mean?
If we don't push them into system/app or data/app we can only use one at a time if we install using Astro or similar.
I'm not going to give u instructions for using ADB in recovery (Hint Hint, SUFBS and RootFileExplorer wont write, can read though)
I have however made a flash-able update with the default keyboard framework only!
You can decide whether you want to push a dozen kb's or install them 1 at a time and try them out.
Also Here is a link to a page with EVO kb's

I'm also not a fan of the HTC keyboard... Nevertheless I'm a huge fan of this modded HTC keyboard: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/get-the-htc-typing-experience-on-your-g2/
Check it out... The keyboard is *highly* customizable. You can even set custom typing sounds without having full root. Great! because this means we now can have the nice tapping sound of the Windows Phone 7 keyboard on our Désiré HD.

Here you go. I got it from a WP7 dump (the wav is the original, the ogg file is compiled by me). Strangly there's just one sound.. I guess they are modifying this base sample with a algoritm. Don't see how else they can do this: http://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/archives/218282.asp
BTW Sounds on the keyboard I refered to are not working on the Desire HD . The developer was so kind to add the source code of the keyboard. I'll see if I can make the sounds work on the DHD
Could you try install this apk and tell me if it works?
note, you'll have to enable android keyboard in the keyboard settings.
as a newbie to android how do you install apk packs is it like a cab file in win mob

yeah it is. you'll need a file explorer on your phone. Get ASTRO from the market. Drop the apk on your SD card, or download directly if you're viewing this from your phone. Then from Astro just locate the apk and launch!
thanks very much

regular install won't work because of a library that google keyboards are depending on. The only way to get this to work is to copy it to your system/app folder. (Of course you need a full root to do that)

Copy the library file, or the keyboard apk?

what (also) might work is
a) to install the froyo keyboard the usual way, and
b) to copy the library file libjni_latinime.so (a native c library file that will generate suggestions from a dictionary - faster than a java procedure) to the /system/lib dir. (Attached the library file to this post)
(The FC with the regular installation is caused by the fact that the keyboard can't load the library file. It looks for a native procedure but can't find it)
EDIT: if the attached library file doesn't work, you can also try the one that comes with the apk package (rename x.apk to x.zip and unzip it. In the lib directory you will find the library)
Is there a way to go back to the old lock screen and not use the lock ring on sense 3.0 roms?
sent from my thunderbolt running M0N0LITHTH3ROY, using the XDA premium app
I don't know if this works with GB sense 3.0 lockscreens, using root explorer, under /system/app there should be an apk called HtcLockscreen.apk (off the top of my head I think that's right) and rename that file to HtcLockscreen.bak (if you want to revert back to sense lockscreen, just rename is to .apk)
Like I said, I don't know if this works with GB sense and with the Sense 3.0 lockscreen cause I'm a AOSP kinda guy. Report if this works or not!

nvm I got it. it did change it to the stock android one. I like that one better than the locking ring but I like the pull down one more. Thanks for the help.
I liked the movie editor on stock sense 4.0 roms....
Finally I found an apk from one of the HTC amaze roms I extracted tried to install from file explorer(root permissions granted) no luck.... Tried moving to system/app couldn't.... Any solution?

Hi!
Android GE was recently released for flash (so a lot of people is really happy right now) and I KNOW is very early to ask for mods, but if someone could help with this, that would be great (lol)
I want to have the AOSP browser in GE, I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173565 which is the mod for sense based roms that works in HOX, HOX+ and One but it did not work for the GE... so I also tried to use the broswer from the nightly of CM (put in system/apps and set permisions) but no luck (well i had to try :silly...
its just my opinion but I always feel the aosp browser more smooth than chrome or firefox etc, even the stock browser in sense (which is almost the same). maybe i need to wait until a deodexed rom?
well thanks in advance for any help
+1 I definitely agree, the AOSP browser is so much better.

Use root explorer (es file manager), set permission of /system to RW and copy the apk over then restart.
thanks, both methods works, they dont have 64 tabs and incognito mode but its ok, thanks again!!!
I tried both methods with no luck. Running rooted HTC one with GE Rom. Does the rom have to be deodexd?
I used ES file explorer to change permission of system/app to rw, moved browser apk into system/app, changed name of BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex with an added "1", then restarted. After boot, everything is back to normal, as though no changes were made. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Will try deodexer.
I installed it multiple time just with the AOSP browser installer found in the playstore. This i can guarantee that it will work.
Also i copied the sense browser from a sense zip to the system app folder. just set the permissions for both the broser and the sync apk.
worked for both deodexed and odexed roms, maybe a custom kernel with disabled system nand protection is required. Dont know exactly what i did but its working for me

I'm not sure what's going on. I tried the AOSP browser installer from play store. It goes through the steps, but when it asks me to reboot it does nothing. When I restart myself, it's like nothing happened. I'll try doing it with another ROM.
Just in case someone is having the same problem. Version 4.1.2 of the AOSP browser was not working for me but 4.1.1 worked fine.
