Gingerbread keyboard for DHD, work with latest 1.72 update.

You can run a new keyboard a few simple steps:
1: Go to the Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Keyboard for Android and mark this.
2: We go to the Message -> Compose message -> touch and keep your finger on the text entry field for about 3 seconds and release, you should see a window with the ability to change input methods. Click on the input method and select Keyboard Android.
I was looking for long time working keyboard on my DHD with 1.72 update so I decided to put the QR Code for market. This keyboard work fine on my DHD.

works perfectly!
only one problem.. the keys are tiny.. i read something somewhere about adjusting the pixel density to cure this, and that this cure wouldnt survive a reboot.. would that still be applicable here? (that gingerbread keyboard wouldnt work an sense roms) and if so how exactly could that be done?
Keyboard very beautiful, also if very small
Thanks, fun to try. A little bit small buttons, and a waste of time in Norwegian
In market is now available the latest version. You can change the skin, but is still a little too small...
search on market:
Keyboard from Android 2.3 +
Would appreciate if there is other download link. Cannot really use Megaupload from Singapore.
Edit: Somehow managed to get it downloaded. Looks weird and hard to type for me. However, heads up for the effort.
Here are some screenshots of Keyboard from Android 2.3 from Steven Lin. It's available on the market and he seems to have fixed the small keys issue for us desire hd and desire z users
yep installed it and its pretty dam nice
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..teihoata .now is big.

Do you have the 1.72 update ?
Do you have swype or anything that may be conflicting ?
Maybe remove and try a re-install

For me keyboard with broken, too small keys is the best option. Desire HD has so big screen that normal keyboard is to big to write fast. So I was very happy that keyboard from this thread is so small. I can now write faster and keyboard is not taking half of the screen.
So... I, personally, prefer to not update keyboard via market.
Maybe it is possible to add option to choose size of the keyboard?
Second question: is it possible to add Polish dictionary?

Ok after using the keyboard for a while.. it tends to lag a bit with vibration on. The vibration happens a little delayed sometimes. I'm talking about the one in the market btw, not the one posted by op.

i had this keyboard on 2.1 but kinda forgot about when i went to 2.2. its a nice keyboard and im sure some of you already have it but for those who dont, im attaching the 2 apk's for this. one is the keyboard and one is the calibrator. you can push these to data/app or just copy to sd card and install with root explorer, astro, etc. install the keyboard first, then the calibrator tool.

Thank you so much for this. I've been using the stock 2.2 Android keyboard and it had some small annoyances this eliminates. Thanks again!

I was doing some more forum lurking, trying to figure out what makes this keyboard vibrate on keypress unlike it's AOSP counterpart, and I came across this: http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/
Let's you custom theme your HTC_IME keyboard anyway you want. I just cloned the Cyanogen mod keyboard cause it was all black with a fairly dark lettering color so it doesn't light up my face at night causing temporary blindness. I had to make a custom space bar image cause I didn't want the one used in the preset one. I attached the .apk to this post.
Edit: Attached are some screenshots.
Does multitouch work? The HTC_IME I'm using on Froyo has bad multitouch so letters are often left behind, even if multitouch works it sucks. Is this any better?
I don't know if its just a case of the grass being greener oan the other side but I don't understand the desire to add this key board. I find the samsung keyboard to be supoirior to this. With a few quirks. And the droid x to be slightly better but over rated. I find it easiest to type on the Samsung multi touch. But the lack of caps lock is annoying. Maybe that will be fixed in the official froyo. I use swype when I hold the phone with one hand but typing with both hands I need a proper multi touch.

More of a preference. I got used to the HTC keyboard and it's quirks and how it works, and I like it. The Samsung keyboard is good, and the Android one is downright annoying at times, but this one I LOVE.

not possible because htc sense is so stringed together that you would have to port everything and then you will just end up with a sense rom.
although if you made a sense rom that wont be bad.
but majority will go for cm as its faster.
but more choice is better and it will certainly help cm decide whether its a device worthy of official support.

SENSE look is good no bad sorry for my stupid question
Isn't there also a question of a full sense ROM being copy right infringement?
Lots of phone's that are NOT HTC have sense ROM's made. Look around, think Galaxy S has one.
Ok then, roll on the full sense ROM!
+1 to that, yeah seems we can easily.
Mark
good job
+1 for hard work
in themes and apps section moonystorm has said x8 has sense rom so i was thinking if we could team up and sense it up a bit (make a sense rom).
i will do some reading up on it and if anyone else is intrested then they can pm me.
if we have a real possible project then i will start a thread and because im english i will give daily update as to what we are doing.
If you're interested in a different approach, try my just-released Hacker's Keyboard and let me know what you think. I've tried to stay as close as possible to a standard PC layout, it has 5 rows including numbers and punctuation in the usual places, plus Esc/Ctrl/Alt for ConnectBot. It's based on the Gingerbread keyboard, so it has multitouch support and voice input.

Can you give me more detail how it's showing as unavailable? Is that in the Market web interface, or the Market application? I've just confirmed that it updated to v1.10 normally on my Xoom using the Market app.
What's your system language set to? I was changing localization settings and removing not-really-supported languages in the v1.9 update, but according to the documentation that shouldn't affect eligibility to install it.
Holy crap. This is exactly what I am looking for... and open source no less! Do you accept donations?
I'm going to try this out right now.
Thank you so much!
Hmm, looking again, maybe this isn't open source. Are there any plans to release it as an open source project?
This keyboard is awesome.
Having the numbers always available, along with the ability to resize it has made my keyboard landscape mode much more enjoyable.

+1.
I can't be sure if it'd be even better, but I'm inclined to think the leftmost keys would be even more comfortable in the following order from top to bottom:
ESC
~
TAB
SHIFT
CTRL
Or maybe even switch ESC and ~ for more spacing on the more frequently used esc key:
~
ESC
TAB
SHIFT
CTRL
Looks good, any chance of a UK style version or option so we have £ sign there and @ swapped with " ?

This is a no brainer, really. You don't really lose anything from any stock keyboard by using swype. Screen peckers can carry on pecking at their screens and swypers can carry on with swyping happiness.
Swype even has great auto correct (same if not best than stock keyboards) and word suggestion to whoever dislikes swyping.

I realized his rom relies heavily on cutting off stuff that waste ram. I remembered he could be leaving swype out because of that. So i went in and tested.
Swype is using 16Mb of ram
ICS keyboard from onecosmic is using 15Mb.
Granted, one can still argue it's more 1Mb and every single one of them count. While that's true, 1 extra Mb is a great tradeoff for swype goodness imo
Now, i'm not sure if the system itself really needs some stock keyboard to be available even if not used by the user. I remember reading that somewhere but i'm not even sure if it was related to anything SGS.

I posted this in Smart Keyboard's forum, but I thought others who don't go to that forum may like the skin I put together.
If you look in this thread, meyergre made an ICS skin. This is great, but I wanted to mimic the look of the official ICS keyboard as much as possible. I started with meyergre's ICS-SDK skin for colors and symbol key images, then took button images from cyril's Gingerbread skin and recolored them to look like ICS keys (more flat and monotone).
In my efforts to mimic the official ICS keyboard as much as possible, these are the changes I made compared to meyergre's:
Different key appearance. Specifically, the corners are more sharp and the top highlight is thinner to make the button look flatter.
Colors of words in the candidate bar look exactly like that in the ICS keyboard instead of being mostly white.
There is now a subtle but apparent divider between candidate words.
Keyboard font changed from regular Roboto to bold Roboto.
This is how it turned out (Note: I set my key height to be smaller than default, that's why the keys may look short).

UPDATE 02/18/2012
A few things have been bugging me for some time. Well, I finally became not lazy and decided to fix it. I made the following changes in ICS Copy 2
Changed background color of normal keys to be lighter and closer resemble the actual ICS keyboard
Changed the appearance of the bottom left and right corners of normal keys to look better shaped
See screenshot below for a comparison.
Also, I made this specifically for hdpi. I do not know enough about image editing to know how to efficiently resize what I have to display properly on mdpi. This skin will still work on mdpi devices, but it still has meyergre's images for those. Sorry!
Many thanks to cyril for making the Gingerbread skin available for customization, and thanks to meyergre for releasing the first ICS theme and helping me along the way.
