How to install: Gingerbread keyboard

*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!

v2 has auto correct

What v is this one?
Sent from my Tazz Vanilla using XDA App

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.

The keyboard is awesome. Thanks for the instructions.

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

Update to newer version of Swype - Here ya go..

Ok here goes.. This version of Swype is WAY more accurate that the stock version. It makes it SO much nicer to use.
Flash at your own risk. It worked ok in IRC last night, although some ppl did have problems flashing via CWM.
The Root Explorer method seems to be working for everybody.. so have at it, just make a backup first.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
​
I dont want to hear it when your Swype is borked and you cant get it back because you didnt do a backup, not my fault. You have been warned!
Instructions:
Step 1. Change your default keyboard to the stock android keyboard, or any keyboard other than Swype.
Step 2. Using Root Explorer, Delete Swype.apk from /system/app/ and libSwypecore.so from /system/lib/
Step 3. Pull Swype.apk from the .zip file in this post
Step 4. Copy Swype.apk into /system/app/ using Root Explorer
Step 5. Reboot
You can also try just deleting Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib/ and then flashing the zip file via CWM, but some have success that way, and some dont. Not sure why, but its about 60/40.
Works great for me, follow the instructions and let me know how it turns out for you

works awesome!

Followed your instructions with Blackhole Rom (DJ01). Keep getting FC's. Even after clearing Cache, Dalvik and Fixing permissions.
Going to see if I can investigate why. Will keep you posted.

I had same problem. Running dj05 with stupid fast kernel.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I had to totally uninstall the Swype app using ADB (adb uninstall com...swype...)
and then fresh install it.

Br broke my swype too, force close hell :-(

I wanted to try this but i guess i'll wait since i'm also running DJ05 stupidfast 1.76 with blackhole 2.2. I don't need the FC hassle...lol...hopefully it will get fixed cuz i would love to try it.

I started reading this excited and as I moved down the page I was slowly discouraged. I will have to give this one a try and home when I have my main computer.

I just tried this and can confirm thr above claims. Followed given instructions to a t.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

yupp getting the FC of hell now

This was tested in IRC last before releasing, and the only people who had trouble with it, were the people who did not follow the directions to a T.
Have you guys done EVERY step? Let me know...

I had to delete the libswypecore.so and the swype.apk file both before flashing this, and then it worked fine. I love how much smoother this works. Great job!

Correct. Just delete the apk and lib then install. Works great.

How did you delete swype? I tried titanium backup force remove but it conflicted with the cwm update.zip. Tried a root file manager but that failed too

Delete the apk and lib using root explorer.
Then install the apk in the op zip I didn't flash through cwm.

Only thing that worked for me was way ibegary stated... Followed original post directions to a "t" to no avail.

Finally got it to work after using root explorer to delete apk then pushing the updated apk in. apparently i forgot To mount as read only. Also didn't know you had to delete libswypecore.so again after flashing. Thanks for this!

Yup, got to do everything (deleting, extracting, installing) manually with RE -- don't flash the update at all.

[Working][App]Black Market 2.2.7

Did you follow my instructions

Ya, i'm actually still using the black and white version 2.2.6 that I extracted from your theme.....it works great, it just doesn't like this one for some reason.
I even tried putting the apk into system.app directly after deleting old version, rebooted and said it could not install......who knows.....

I went through and uninstalled the vending.apk (I actually had two of them, one was Vending.apk and the other was vending.apk). Went into data/app and didn't see a com.android.market anything...tried to flash the zip in recovery and no market at all now...

The one in data/app is com.android.something I don't remember. By looking at it you should be able to tel its the market. It also ends in a 1 do look for something like com.android.xxxxx-1.apk.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

one part you should maybe add to the OP is (also do post above), if your market version auto updated, you might need to do this:
After you delete the com.android.vending.apk (or similar name..) in your data/app folder, you should also go in to your data/data folder and delete the folder with the same name as the apk.
Great work Mystery! It looks great.. (and I'm so glad that moneysuitcase icon is gone

ahh. DO NOT delete the market updater folder or apk.
I think that's all you need deleted before you flash. But let mystery confirm it.
I might also double check that the "V" in your existing Vending.apk is capitalized. I've heard of that causing problems if it's lowercase.

[MOD] WP7 style keyboard for Android

FROYO ONLY
FROYO ONLY
FROYO ONLY
Hi folks,
With the recent port of WP7 to HD2 (credit to Cotulla, DFT, and other cooks), I know alot of HD2 users have tried it. I myself used it for about a couple of weeks, but I found that although it is great, it still was missing a couple of key features compared to android.
When I switched back, one of the thing that made me really regret was the keyboard.
After searching on XDA, I found this thread and figured it would easily work for us NAND users running Android.
It is a metamorph theme, but when I applied it, it didn't look right. The user who created the theme JAguirre1231 suggested that it didn't work correctly because the theme is suppose to be for the stock keyboard. This was a problem because I know alot of people prefer other CM, Sense or MIUI roms.
After doing some experimenting, I finally got it to work on the MIUI rom I'm using. The only thing is that this themed keyboard replaces the default and makes it the default. I'm not sure if you can add it, and keep the Sense keyboard or not.
*I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE, DOING THIS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK* *ALSO REQUIRES ROOT*
NOTE: DON'T TRY TO INSTALL THE .APK DIRECTLY, IT HAS TO GO INTO THE SYSTEM OF YOUR PHONE
EDIT: FROYO ONLY(?)
Like I said, I have only tried this on the MIUI rom and I would advise you do backup or take precautions because this process involves editing the system files inside your phone.
Directions
----------------------------------------------------------------
1) You need Root Explorer (available in the marketplace) and the attached file
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) After you have Root Explorer, put the attached "LATINIME.apk" file on your sd card
3) Boot up your phone and open Root Explorer
4) Make sure the file is on your SD card
5) Next, navigate to /system/app/ and you should find a "LATINIME.apk" file in there too
6) Be sure you hit the top button so it says (MOUNT R/O)
7) Just to be safe, rename it to something else, and copy and paste it into your sd card (if anything goes wrong, just replace it with this file back to /system/app)
8) Delete the "LATINIME.apk" in /system/app and next copy and paste the attached one into /system/app
9) Exit and your new keyboard should be like the ones shown below
10) DONE!
Note that this is merely a skin for the keyboard, and all the other android settings are still the same. I also found it isn't as accurate as the real thing, but still better than the stock froyo.
This tutorial was made with the permission of JAguirre1231 and I just thought it would be easier if I share it.

Make sure in the future that u backup all of the system apps before replacing them...

it look just like the gingerbread keyboard lol

I would say: don't do this. Even when I copied back the original file I did not get my keyboard back, so I had to reinstall my rom.

Same here. Luckily I had smart keyboard pro so I'm just using that .

Can you tell me which rom you are using?
And did you put the LATINIME.API into /system/app? If you don't have root explorer you can try ADB? Or if your rom already has the default froyo keyboard, just use metamorph skin from post #1.

Hm, I'm not sure if this works on gingerbread. I think it only works on the standard froyo keyboard.
If you want to take another stab, trying using the stock .apk from here, and if it works, just use metamorph to theme the keyboard.
Then again its up to you.

tried adb to phone but keep getting force close issue.

I'm not sure, you can look into seeing if you can make the .pngs in the skin work for your rom. It should be in systemui.apk and framework-res. Remember to always backup!

I think you need to replace Vending.apk. First you try to install like a normal application, if it doesn't then replace your Vending.apk (it might install as an update).

I just installed the apk from Dropbox and it worked perfectly.
You shouldn't need to replace in /system/app manually

Is the download link in the OP for a apk file or a zip? I dloaded and it came thru as a zip file. I tried installing thru cwm but the installation aborted. When i explored the file thru astro file I found no apk inside it. How do I install this or am I completely missing something
