I used CM6 for a while, but still find that DDv2.8 flys on my phone and reverted back to it. The only thing I miss is the Android keyboard on CM6, it had a few tweaks that I preferred over the keyboard on DD.
Is there an apk or a .zip that I can flash to get this keyboard? I really miss it =(

Those tweaks are because it's a 2.2 rom/keyboard. It won't work on 2.1, there's no framework for it

Do you mean the stock android keyboard?
Maybe, not too sure. Its the black keyboard with the 1-9 across the top. Also, after you press space bar, the !.?- functions all pop up in the option tab so you can easily end the sentence. In the DDv2.8 keyboard, you have to click on the corner # button to launch any punctuation. Does that make sense?

Wuts good XDA-Developers Q&A
well i'd like to kno is it possible to get a better keyboard for the Hero build JacxSki v2.1 for the G1/Dream cause i was useing "HERO2 - Freedom of choice 1.5.4JAC-SKI BFS-211" and i like that keyboard but on both of these build theres no "Landscape" mode for the keyboard so can you change the keyboard layout at all or can i change it and get Landscape too some how
the onscreen keyboard (AKA HTC_IME) should be the same for both. Chances are the app you're using doesn't support auto rotation.
you mean the rom im useing doesnt support auto-rotation rite? im sure Hero does thou pretty sure it does that dam rom can do everything else

No, I mean the app you're using doesn't auto rotate.
When you say the landscape keyboard doesn't work, what do you mean?
So the app rotates, but the keyboard never opens when you tap the area for text input. A screen shot would be nice if you know how to use adb.
just wondering if anyone has gotten another keyboard to work on the gtablet. I have tried swype and swiftkey they both will install fine but I am unable to enable them in settings.

Unfortunately it can't be done on the stock roms or ones based off of the stock Rom. It's due to the nonstandard settings app they decided to include with the tablet. Some of the core API calls have been removed.
Slide It
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9248453&postcount=2732
I asked the same question regarding swype. I've tried it Slide It also and the keyboard is really big, but it's wide, which I like. Unfortunately, some screens will not bring the keyboard up because the height is too high. Shapewriter sizes the keyboard in the original size of a phone, it works and installs, but it's still very small. Ultra Keyboard has a similar problem, except it put the keyboard in the middle of the screen.
Slide It seems to the best option for now.

Using it right now as I write this, I'm using Zpad Clean .3 though.
I had the Droid 2 Multitouch KB working a few flashes back. Worked well but the letter/numbers were all tiny labels on large keys. Think I'm gonna try and "theme" it to look better on this larger screen.
Smart Keyboard Pro is working great. Love this one since you can make the keys bigger like the ipad.

Zpad rom. You can get the it from the market. I love this keyboard. I've been using it on the Evo for quite some time.
I'm using the regular android keyboard with the language in the space bar. I enabled english and Spanish in the settings. It seems to work but the dictionary never changes. In the settings it states that the dictionary is available! Is this a bug??
I am using tnt lite. With clockwork recovery .8
Thumb Keyboard has saved some hand cramps for me.
Thumb keyboard - what rom?
I'm on tnt-lite and while I can get Better Keyboard and other to show up using Root Explorer to drop the APK into system/app, but when I do that with thumb keyboard, I can select it but it just forces close every time.
Bought Thumb Keyboard, never looked back.
Thumb keyboard!
Any work around for getting thumb keyboard working on tnt lite?

Ultra Keyboard is not on the Market when viewed from the Nook Color (only the "dictionaries" are).
So I went on my phone and used Root Explorer to grab the apk from data\app.
I pasted it into system\app on my Nook Color and changed the permissions (rw-r--r--).
After a reboot, I can select Ultra Keyboard from the Nook Color Tools app, but going into any text field, the keyboard never appears.
What am I doing wrong?
Has anyone else gotten Ultra Keyboard to work?

I also would like to know the answer to this.
Does that keyboard app support the resolution of the NC?

Another thing to try is to copy system/app/LatinIME.apk to your sd card, then change Ultra keyboard's name to system/app/LatinIME.apk. Reboot.
Might not make a difference, but worth a try. If you end up with no keyboard, just move your backup back where it was.
I don't have any keyboards. What happened?

No idea. How to check?
I'm just looking for a keyboard that has arrow buttons (and works on the NC), so if anyone knows of one, please let me know!

I'm starting to sound like I work for SlideIT (trust me, I was a loyal Swype user until last week), but SlideIT has arrow keys buried back on the last page of special characters.

Oh wow! Thanks!
Thumb Keyboard works on the Nook COlor and has some of the best tablet features I have found -- including cursor arrow keys that work! It has several alternate keyboard layouts which all seem to work on my Nook Color -- except one standard QWERTY which failed to display the bottom row of keys that included the key to press that switches back to the layouts that work ... now I am stuck trying to figure out how to get out of the current layout ...
I am unable to get thumb keyboard too work! What did you do to get it to work? I tried everything...

Unless he knows of some development we missed (this has been thoroughly researched - see link), then no, still no Swype on NookColor.

Didn't realize that swype wasn't working on the nc. I'm here researching so I can root my wife's nc. I was simply going off the post that appeared to say that the poster had to switch from swype because of the lack of directional pad

Just an FYI, shapewriter seems to work. It is small, but functional.

I was actually just able to get it to work by copying the .apk into system/app with full permissions and then installing it from there. Didn't have to mess with LatinIME.apk and can switch back and forth easily.
Though I am having a problem when changing layouts and the row of keys with the spacebar/menu buttons disappearing.

I'd love to know if you figure out the spacebar and menu buttons disappearing for the thumbs keyboard.
Edit: So I figured out that you can use Titanium Backup to wipe data and that resets the keyboard back to the large phone setting that allows spacebar and menu access. I cannot get any of the tablet keyboard options to work. None have the menu or spacebar option. I wanted the Thumbs keyboard because of the arrows. Unfortunately I can only find the arrows in the large phone keyboard which has a really weird layout. If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it!

I actually emailed the developer and they said they were working on sending out updates in the coming weeks and are aware of the problems with the tablet layout. He suggested deleting the XML file in the folder /data/data/com.beansoft.keyboardplus/shared-preferences and reboot the nook, to reset the keyboard. But using titanium backup might be quicker.

Gyus a long time i didn't play with the SXL. But today i tried to install some keyboards and i find out that i can't turn them on. I tried settings etc. but there stays always the stock one.
Is there any way to change it or not?
Thanks

Well, i use swype from the original 2.2.2 FroYo stock ROM from Dell Streak, the first keyboard i ever used on Android and i still like it better than others, i install them in the normal way, go to settings, activate them, and after that, when you are in some writing, check the notifications, it should be a notification for keyboard, tap that notification and it will show you a menu to select your desired keyboard
Thanks man. I never did notice that notification. Also i was satisfied with my stock buttons . I wanted to try the new nexus 4 keyboard.
Is it possible to disable full screen keyboard on the stock keyboard?
The keyboard shouldn´t be full screen.
Are you sure you have a stock phone?

The stock keyboard in a Sense rom is my fav. In landscape, the keyboard and type window take the full screen. In AOSP roms there is usually an option to disable that, but I'm wondering if it's possible to do that for the stock HTC kb on a Sense ROM.

I imagined the keyboard taking up the entire screen.
I have no option to make it smaller on my sense keyboard.
