*FROYO ONLY*
NOTE: This may replace your current Android keyboard! Make a backup first if you want to revert!
1. Download the gingerbread keyboard: http://fabdroid.com/downloads/Fabolous_GBKB_Fix.zip
2.Use root explorer (or whichever to push files) and extract system folder from zip to your sd. Then copy latintime.apk to /system/app and the lib file to /system/lib.
3.Then flash this APK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=457922&d=1291697158
4. Long press in text box and select "Android Keyboard" and BINGO!
P.S. I have a theme so mine looks a tad different than yours!

why cant we just install using astro or something like any other keyboard and turn it on and off in the input settings? why do we have to push and write over the stock one?
This is a V2 bug fix version. You dont want the stock version after using this trust me.
awesome!!!
this keyboard is great!!!!!
Worked great thanks,the only thing is that you have on your notes to flash the apk but that was not the way i got it to work,instead after moving the files from the zip like you said i also copied the apk file to system/apps rebooted then installed the apk file and it worked lik a charm,just an fyi.

This worked for me also.........nice looking board
I cannot get this to work for the life of me. granted I'm trying to do adb from memory and I havent used it in forever.
adb shell
mount
adb push
that's the order right? I just cant get it to work for the life of me.
the explorer built into froSHEDyo won't let me copy/move files to system
okay, i finally downloaded super manager (great app btw) and got the two files into the app/lib folders
then i try to install that apk, and it wont install!
so now I don't have keyboard... luckily i still had an apk of that thumb keyboard so I'm using that for now.
I'm gonna go try that flashable .zip :/...
Flashable zip works couldn't get this method to work

I've written up a little guide for those of you who want the quick and easy way to get the new Android 2.3 keyboard on your Vibrant with 2.2. Enjoy!
Requirements
Device must have root priveleges with Superuser
Android 2.2 Froyo operating system
The latest “Voice Search” application from the Android Market
Make a backup of LatinIME.apk in system/app folder just in case if you have it!
Clockwork Mod Recovery
Deodexed ROM
Go to the Market and download Rom Manager to install CWM Recovery
Problems
Auto-correct feature is broken Working in v2
Vibrate on keypress doesn't work
If you are running a completely stock, odexed ROM, this could mess things up!!
Instructions
Download the .zip file provided by Peter Alfonso & Fabolous
Mount your device as USB storage and throw the zip file into the root folder (the main one)
Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery
Once in CWM recovery choose to install zip from sdcard
Choose to install the .zip you downloaded in Step 1
Reboot your device! Congratulations!

followed directions carefully and flashed using clockworkimode and after rebooting it is on the internal sd but did not load as a choice in keyboards. Seems that all keyboard choices are the same as before. In Root Explorer latinime.apk is the only one showing.. Any and all help is warmly received.

I have no clue how to pull things out of the source, or out of Cognition 3.02 for what I want. I'm looking for an APK for the Armani font. Anyone able to produce that or point me in the direction of where to download it? Thanks in advance!
Edit: apk removed
does this work on other phones like the streak?
ripped out the ttf files from the apk and they work like a charm on my dell streak... loving it.
I made a clockwork flashable ZIP so I could try this out on Serendipity; grabbed the fonts from dg's Cognition ROM, and they look great. Attached the ZIP if anybody wants it.

Weird; yeah, I got an installation aborted when I just tried to install it. I think it might be a bad upload...gonna try the version still on my computer. And maybe reupload the file.
Yeah, the ZIP on my computer got fudged up somewhere between my computer and XDA. Fixed it and tested it; installation via recovery should work fine now. ZIP is attached.
thanks for that, now Phoenix is a little more to my liking

Yeah, it just replaces the default font in the "system/fonts" folder, so any custom font APKs should still be usable.

Maybe I am blind but I cant see any difference...anyone has screenshot of how it looks?
I still use Times as I like it best but I want to see how this font looks like.
This is an APK I've had in my apps folder for quite sometime now. I don't remember where I got it or even if I made it my self, but it works like a charm. It appears as a new font in your font selection window so you can still use the default one if you don't like the Armani one. I like APKs way more than recovery .zips because you don't have to restart your phone to use them

There was a screenshot I posted a few pages up, but here's a comparison; stock Android on the left, Armani on the right:
I found a Droid X keyboard that will work with our Froyo Fascinates and thought I would share it. This is the original work of Punk.Kaos to get it working for Froyo on the HTC Droid Eris. Here is the original link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021
IT IS NOT MY WORK, I ONLY FOUND IT TO WORK WITH THE FASCINATE FROYO.
Make sure you follow the instructions. This zip is NOT flashable in CWM. You must adb push or manually move these files to the correct locations.
There are two files in the zip,
libjni_latinime.so to /system/lib
droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk to /system/app/
*After you add the files to the correct location, you may find that you have to restart your phone if the keyboard does not show up immediately as Multi-Touch Keyboard in the Input Method List.

Did you try to do this? You do know also that this zip is NOT flashable in CWM!
There are two files in the zip,
push libjni_latinime.so to /system/lib
push droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk to /system/app/
I always have hell with this. I used root explorer to move both of the files to their required place, rebooted and it didn't work. It never does :/ lol
hmm seems to be working ok. Thanks

Were you able to get the black keyboard to work? I tried using the v4 flashable zip and now I have input.latin force closes..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Does anyone like this over samsung keypad or android keyboard? Im not sure if this is better than the stock keyboard
No matter what I do it won't work..
I really like how nothing I do in root explorer will take effect at all..changing permissions, renaming files, moving them...nothing takes effect.

Well, not sure where to start...Did you unzip the files you downloaded to the root of your SD card? If so, after that take the file named droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk and copy it to the directory /system/app (make sure R/W is enabled in Root Explorer) Next, take the file named libjni_latinime.so and paste it into the directory /system/lib. (It will ask if you want to overwrite the current one; say YES.) Finally, restart your phone and now the keyboard should show up in your Input Method Selection.
I loved the multitouch back in the 2.1 days. I did find a great gingerbread keyboard in the markplace which I like just as much. Search gingerbread keyboard.

Here you go guys thanks to Curious Tech for getting it to work correctly. We present to you.... Flying Blue Androids Livewallpaper. This is only a color mod and I take no credit for making the original Flying Androids Wallpaper which had green androids skating(Made by Binesy so huge thanks as I love the wallpaper). Themed Blue for anyone else who likes it. I can also theme other colors if Requested and Curious Tech would replace them for me. Request it and I'll see if he's interested.

Not sure why the link wont work, I've tried it on two pc's and my wifes phone and it works fine. Il try to get it uploaded elsewhere for you
I used root explorer to replace the files, then copied to my pc and repacked as a zip file, then copied back to phone and renamed apk with root explorer.
I also tried to ninja morph it but that didn't work.
Also the original file you uploaded would not install either

Use ADB, it's in system/app/Swype.apk
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd system/app
rm Swype.apk
exit
exit
adb remount
adb push (file location on pc) system/app/
adb reboot
and thats it
***edit** well thats how it is done but scratch that because i just looked in my system/app/ directory and Swype.apk wasnt there anymore i put my own there on old B.O. but i dont know where it is now and forgot where i found the old one, anybody?

I have the lastest swype beta installed and the apk is in /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk
same file name from the BO2.0 zip.
or just use rom toolbox or TI to uninstall it. the site also states that you need to remove /system/lib/libswypecore.so

thanks forgot about the lib its been a while,
well you heard the man get crackin
Just installed it. Grab another keyboard before you try this. BO only has Swype. No other keyboards.
I uninstalled all Swype from system, then deleted anything else that said Swype from the app folder. Pushed the themed Swype to the phone with adb, then reboot. Then for some reason I had to go in with root explorer and physically install the Swype from the apps folder.
Crude and it downgraded my beta to the most recent, not the current version. The theme maker states that the latest version keeps fc'ing and won't take the themes. Oh well, I like it. Goes good with my lunar theme.
