Ya, i tried same. I pretty much already knew it wasnt going to work but gave it a shot as well. Just have to wait for someone to hack it up for our screen res and we should be good to go. I am just taking a shot in the dark and thinking that is the only reason why it wont work and could be wrong.
Mine installed just fine. I just cant get the keyboard to pull up
The Eris is mdpi where as the Droid is hdpi its a resolution thing...even if you got it to load the keys would be to big for your screen much like when the HTCIME first came out and everyone was jumping on the hi res version...

someone may port it...they're several pngs that have to be resized and edited etc porting any apk and or making a theme is a time intensive task so maybe if a themer or a dev feels like jumping on it...it may happen... if you want to tackle it yourself get you a trial copy of winRAR or another file reader and open a mdpi and the hdpi files and compare the res/drawables....thats a place to start I think.

It also has the resolution for each key specified in the decompiled .smali files inside classes.dex, so I think it's a big job to convert it. It's definitely beyond my ability. You'd need to use a tool like APK Manager 4.4 (search XDA for it) or manually decompile it with baksmali.
EDIT: I was wrong, the resolution in the .smali files is relative, so that's not stopping it from working.
I wonder if this would work with punk.kaos new froyo build?

Nope it wants to replace the latinime app thats why it wont install
Some Hero folks got it working as-is:

It sounds like it only works with Vanilla-based ROMs since they have LatinIME in them (Android keyboard), and you have to push it to /system/app/LatinIME.apk (overwriting the Android keyboard) instead of installing it as a user app.

Most likely you can use Root Explorer or a similar app to move it into /system/app while the phone is on, then make sure you check its permissions (should be rw-r--r--), and then reboot for the change to take effect. Again, I haven't gotten this to work for me, but I'm on a Sense-based ROM. The successes reported were on Heros with their "darchdroid" ROM.
I have an idea for getting this to work with Sense, and I'm testing my theory right now. My theory is that we're missing its dependencies (in /system/lib), so I'm going to just flash the "Android Keyboard for Sense" from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5874235#post5874235
And then flash the new Droid X keyboard on top of that. Maybe that'll work.
UPDATE: YES! It works! Hang on, I'll post an update.zip to take care of installing it...
Can you post the flashable droid x keyboard for those on froyo or vanilla roms

It should already work on Vanilla ROMs. Just install the APK on the first page of this thread. The pre-requisite is that you have to have the Android stock keyboard (com.google.inputmethod.latin) installed, which you do.
The tricky part is a Sense ROM, because it doesn't have the Android keyboard.
Attached is a flashable ZIP to install the Droid X Multi-Touch Keyboard onto a Sense-based ROM (or any ROM without the Android stock keyboard).
Credit to itmustbejj for original keyboard.
so I got it to install but I just get it force closing every three seconds

Hey guys, I'm currently running CM6 rom and I tried to install the HTC_IME MOD keyboard with no luck. I was actually able to install it but when I select it as the input method the keyboard never appears on the screen. Has anyone gotten this to work on their Aria successfully? I tried it on both CM6 and Attn1 liberated rom. I installed swype and that works fine, but I really would prefer the HTC keyboard.

Here's a link to the HTC_IME thread on the forums. I've tried the low and high res versions and neither worked. They install fine, I go into settings and enable, then choose it as the input method, no problem. But the keyboard never pops up.

no offense but we arent looking for a different language we are looking at the keyboard interface
i also suspect that this was designed for a different device, a higher resolution device and the low resolution versions dont support froyo

works great i dont seem to have the issue with a glitch on the speak now...but it does work great...also im running cm6 6.0.2 with dumfuq's oc kernel 825...wich is great btw
I got this to work...once. Not sure what I did right, but I'd like to do it again. I was running CM6.1 and tried it many times. I think the only time I got it to work may have been when I chose lo res. I shall reattempt after I resolve a few other issues. I will do my best to report back if there is success.
Use the Low Resolution. I used a PC for the download and extraction. All you need is the apk that comes from the extract. Send the apk to your phone using any means (e-mail, usb connect). Use a file explorer such as Astro to install the apk. After installing the apk, go to Menu>Settings>Language & keyboard and check next to HTC_IME. (Notice there is a settings link - quite good). Back out to the home screen and select an app that would need text input. Long press on the text field, then select Input method. Select HTC_IME mod.
If you use the gimpsta ( http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/) skinner, use the lowres. When you want to change skins, just do the same install you did earlier with one tricky exception. They are all labeled the same, no matter what you name each skin's apk. When you locate the new skin in your explorer and try to install the apk, it will not give you an install option, but an uninstall option. Go with the uninstall, then when you return to the file explorer, reattempt install. Follow through with the subsequent steps to activate the input method, just like your original install of this custom keyboard.
Hope this helps. I was almost obsessed with making this work, because I had seen it work once. Now we just wait for gimpsta to give us low res users more options like custom keys, symbols and spacebar inlays.
Yeah,
1. You have to enable it in the menu.
2. You do a long check on a type-box.
3. choose input method, and then you can use HTC_IME mod.
4.??
5. Profit!
I'm having trouble getting this to work. I tried both hi-res links and the 1.6 lo res. the hi-res had nothing show up when a keyboard was needed (the standard android keyboard disapeared and was not replaced). the lo-res force closed.
i wiped all data/caches before installing CM6.1
Does anybody know how to make HTC_IME to show the character "ñ" on the keyboard? Even though I only marked spanish as my language it just won't show. It should be next to the "L"
Try pressing and hold or slide up and should show it.

I did it! It was on the "keyboard language" section. It's weird that I didn't notice that before. I was choosing my language on the "Language Selection" area. Thank you for for you answer

1. Use Droid X Bootsrapper to boot into Clockwork Recovery
2. Navigate to mounts and storage
3. Mount /system
4. Back out to main menu and select install zip from sdcard
5. Select choose zip from sdcard
6. Navigate to GingerBreadLatinIME.zip and select it to install
7. After install completes, return to main menu and reboot phone
Tested and works great on my DX running 2.3.320 and Fission 2.3
Is this one any different from the updated release on droid-life?
the one on droid life was uber small.. any fix for that? also is there a single .zip with the dictionary and kb?
The one on Droid Life has been fixed. I am using mine on Fission 2.3 and all features work.
I'm sure I've missed the answer to this somewhere but, is this keyboard multi-touch?
There's one in rom manager under fabulous's rom section with a full dictionary and working auto-correction.
Okay since I'm still a newbie I have a question.
I'm on Rubix and didn't like that the motorola multi-touch keyboard wasn't on there.
Instead there's the Android keyboard. I installed the apk of the multi-touch from
punk.kaos here and I deleted the LatinIME from the system/lib folder to replace it with
the libnji that came with his apk zip.
Now I've gone through the bootstrap method as described in the OP but the GB
keyboard isn't installing and instead I'm getting the FC on the multi-touch. My question
is this, do I have to replace the libjni again with the one that comes in this zip?
Works well. Enjoying it..
The keyboard is multitouch. I'll edit this post once I've tried it ton rubix 1.9
edit: works just fine :]
Using the GB keyboard to type this. It seems a little small... installed the one in ROM manager.
Sent from my DROIDX
lets post screen shots
Mine is comming in really small. Changing the LCD density fixes it, but I really have no interest in doing that permanently. any fix?
Is there a difference in the one in rom manager and the one from droid-life? or are they the same
Tried both of them...one from rom manager and the one from post...both are tiny...but I can still type pretty well just slower. I feel like if this was the normal size it would be better than the stock moto one!

Tiny fix. Dl lcd density and select stock 240 then apply/reboot. Fixed! Well fixed till next time you reboot.

In your case you need to put LatinIME.apk back on you phone like it was before all the changes you mentioned above. Then you can install the Gingerbread Keyboard once that is done.
The reason for all your troubles is cause the Gingerbread Keyboard installs over and replaces both the Droid X Multi-touch Keyboard and if installed the 2.2 Android Keyboard. Hope this helps and post back with any questions.

Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and used the rom manager method and it worked fine.
Ewww.
This is really tiny with the LCD mod in place! I guess I have to go my backup now, or does anyone know how to uninstall this thing?
No go..
I get a constant force close. Didn't work for me.
Hi There,
I've tried searching all over and cannot find anything so please forgive me if I'm asking something that has been asked before...
I am looking at all the wonderful custom roms out there for the Captivate but it seems that some of them do not have the classic Samsung Keyboard. I'm very fond of inputting text via the old school 3x4 portrait style with predictive texting and notice that some of the roms do not have the Samsung Keyboard, which then pretty much rules out that rom for me.
So I was wondering if there is a way to add the 3x4 portrait samsung keyboard to a rom somehow if it wasn't originally built/packaged with it?
Yes, there is definitely a way to do that. It will involve rooting your phone, and finding the .apk of the keyboard into a certain folder with 'Root Explorer'.
I'll see if I can find the Samsung Keyboard .apk for you, and I suggest you getting Root Explorer (or similar) for the time being.
romkitchen.org create an update.zip NOT a full rom. they have the samsung keyboard available! and much more!

Wow!!! That is AWESOME!!!
I'm still a noob so pardon if I ask some potentially obvious questions... *bows head in shame*
I am getting Root Explorer and have not used it before tho have indeed rooted my phone and flashed an existing rom created by others (currently using Serendipity 5.12)
Would this Rom Kitchen method be a simple addition to a current rom via Clock Work Recovery - Reboot into recovery mode - install zip from SD Card type of thing? Or would I have to go into the folder and replace the different files with whatever is generated and rename the file, also as an addition/alteration to a current Rom that I was using?
Or would you basically be generating your own custom Rom altogether with this Rom Kitchen by starting from scratch and selecting each part of the rom yourself like the Base Rom then CSC then Kernel then Modem then Apps Etc and then doing a master clear and flashing this as a brand new rom?
And if the generated file is essentially a brand new Rom altogether, would it be possible if I just generate one with the desired "additions" that I was looking for, open that up, save/copy the additions I wanted and then just customize an existing Rom I really like by swapping out or adding those additions in the appropriate folder?
Thank you to all in advance by the way!!!! I really appreciate the help!!!

the Samsung Keyboards (and all the rest of the keyboards) are under the "Apps" tab area? But I don't know what the difference is between the Samsung Stock JPY and JS3 keyboards? Do both have the portait 3x4?
Oh yeah, I see it now. Weird, I could only see Gingerbread Keyboard before! (Maybe the page didn't load properly).
They don't differ too much, you should be fine with JS3!

That's strange! You're Right!! If you choose "update.zip" as the Base Rom choice (which I assume is just adding onto your existing Rom after playing with this site more) then the Samsung Keyboard Does Disappear from the App Tab Choices!!!
Yeah, I just realised that as well... I might hunt around for you and find the Keyboard's .apk right now
It'll be a different set of instructions, but it won't be "too" hard. Basically the option via my first post in this thread.
If you were to install Serendipity, you could use this:

I'm looking for the pre-installed version of swype that come son the stock Rom on the Bionicle.
It should be 2 files
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/lib/libswypecore.so
libSwypeCore might have the version at the end of the name. Im looking for it because i want a version of swype that doesn't have the voice input or swype button.
Here is a video to see the difference between the regular and the preinstalled version.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9ZVLHNrowM
Thanks in advance
Here are the files you need
dropbox.com/s/hw9q2dg96bpaoqf/Swype.apk
dropbox.com/s/fttcf3zs88oqaja/libSwypeCore.so
If these are the incorrect files or if you need something else i can upload other files from my Bionic.
Worked thanks!
Yours has the swype key thoguh. =p
No problem!
& I just looked back at the video you linked, they aren't comparing swype to the preinstalled swype, they were comparing swype to the Motorola multitouch keyboard but mislabeled it.
