Sorry I just rooted and put CM6 on the phone for my wife and I am just curious as to what option she now has for a new keyboard. Can she get the droid x multi touch keyboard or swype?
Thanks, Thomas
Swiftkey, htc keyboard, swype. I tried thedroid xkeyboard and didn't like it too much.

So pretty much the same options as with my Evo. Cool, thanks for responding kindly lol.
where can i get a swype board?? id like to try it out.
also, does anyone know when its gonna be available to everyone?
shapewriter is nice,I use it as my main keyboard however its off the market now.Anybody know if I can duplicate my shapewriter app for someone else to use?
search swype beta with yahoo, the first site that pops up should be it. Then sign up on the website and have them send you and email. Go to the email on your phone, the email will instruck you back to the web site to sign in and download the beta. In order for the website to determin what phone you have you need to make sure your phone browser is in android mode. After that just install it and go select it in your keyboard settings then you need to go to a text, click impute methode and select swype.

As long as shapewriter is "free" you can back it up with an app like titanium back up and then load it onto any device with that save. It should be as simple as navigating to the titanium back up folder and pulling the shaperwriter.apk or whatever its call to your computer and then putting it on the device you want. and installing it with astro or root explorer or something similar.

Hey all,
Rooted my nook today and after playing for a while I wanted to experiment with the Gingerbread keyboard. Now I get no keyboard at all. It just does not load. I go to settings/keyboard and it just kicks me back to the home page.
I'm running nook 1.1 rooted. with app launcher pro. I have not tried to restore defaults and then reroot.
Thanks
Found it. It is under the app drawer for launcher pro under the NookColor Tools
same thing happened to me, then i figured out the same menu you did. I can't get any keyboard other than the stock nook keyboard to work either. SwiftKey is downloaded, but won't show up on my keyboard list. and i have no cut and paste. have you worked that out yet?

If you have a copy of Root Explorer, you can use it to move your KB apk files from /data/app to /system/app

Keyboard issues
I have just rooted my nc, and trying to login to youtube, but I get absolutely NO keyboard at all, I must me missing something. I can't get any keyboard even in the regular nook homepage or search section
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance
I was just browsing some files using Root Explorer to see what we might be able to do to get Multitouch working on the ZIO. In /system/etc/permissions directory I found a file called handheld_core_hardware.xml that when I open it up has information about permissions of the device hardware and then says this.
<!-- devices with multitouch must also include
android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml -->
<!-- devices with full multitouch must also include
android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml -->

I've also found the applications currently installed on the phone in the /system/app directory that has every app on the phone, Maybe we can inject some files from another phone that have Multitouch and Flash working?
I know I'm not the only one that is currently scanning this phone for things that we can "exploit" to make it better. If anyone else can think of what we can do to get Multitouch and Flash to work go ahead and give us your input and we'll get this going.
don think flash will work nativaly becase it requires a arm7 proc and I think the Zio is an ARm6 based proc..... you can get flash running through skyfire browser from what I understand though...
as far as multitouch??? dunno you may be onto something!
I am determined to make this phone work better than CricKet is willing to make it work. I know it's not a high end device but cmon my old pentium 3 gateway that had a 600mhz processor could run flash. There has to be a way that we can spoof the processor to install flash if it only allows the arm7 or higher.
I dont know if you have Root Explorer but I would reccomend it for browsing the files on the phone. I would say it is worth the 4.03 USD or 2.50 EUR. That and Uninstaller for Root to remove the bloatware.
Multitouch could be a hardware issue as well. I know the zio has a substandard capacitive touchscreen -- maybe it doesnt support multitouch.
BUT, I could be completely wrong as I am making a hypothetical assumption.
I downloaded flash here: http://www.4shared.com/file/k6SycB0R/Adobe_Flash_Player_101_1016168.htm
I then dropped it into my SD card and installed it just fine on the new cricket 2.2.1 update. It seems to be working just fine, though it does sometimes kick me out of browser pages, so I just switch to Opera Mobile 10.1 and it works on that one much better.
Sweet, trying to get this working now.

Got it to install just fine on mine too, but it causes my stock browser to FC all the time, even when just trying to type in a web address. I will have to try this with another browser.
Kyocera originally stated when the phone launched that it supported multi touch. This phone is going to have to suppport multi touch in some way or another. Maybe we could contact Kyocera to find out exactly what hardware is in this phone?

Try using Dolphin Browser. I use HD because it goes full screen.

Tried with dolphin mini -- nogo (FC)
Dolphin browser -- nogo (FC)
Dolphin HD -- nogo (FC)
hmm thats odd. I'll have to try this once I get my phone working again. I was messing with some cpu files then restarted my phone. well now I'm in a loop after the Kyocera logo. The cricket logo comes up and restarts from the cricket logo again. I'm currently working on getting it working again with adb and fastboot. I may end up using fastboot to flash the boot image and then run the update, it will then take me into the recovery just like it did the other day.

Is there an alternative to root explorer that's free?

Check the market under productivity you should find the free equivalent.
I was able to install flash but... FC on all browsers except opera mini. I had to uninstall just to use the free xda apparently because it kept restarting. Flash isn't too huge of a deal for me, I think it might be why flash isn't included in the update

Anyone have any problems with Appbrain.
I noticed with appbrain it doesn't reconize that I have the 2.2 installed on my phone. Anyone else having the same problem? I also posted a few questions on here about a few things I noticed my phone doing but never got a response back. Guess they weren't important questions or something.
Also was wondering about SELECT DEVICE ADMINISTRATORS in the settings/location & security. What is it and why is it empty if i'm the admin of my own phone???
Something else I feel really sucks that they did with this phone.
Why the hell did Kyocera have this phone where when you set a wallpaper you always have to crop the dam thing and cut half your pic off just to set it??
I think its bull**** concidering the resolution of the phone there would be no need to limit the size of the wallpaper you set. I feel it sucks ass totally cause no matter what size I make my wallpapers I always have to cut half the pic off to set it as a wallpaper on the phone.
That little resize box sucks!! Now it may be an app I have installed on the phone but i'm having the same BS problem when typing txt messages with the keyboard missing letters and the latter just the same as if i still had the 1.6 crap on it.
I'm starting to hate this stinking phone to a point i'm about to take my hammer to it.

I had the same problem. Anything I opened once I installed the flash just FC on me till i uninstalled it. I just installed Opera brower and i'm re-installing the Flash now, i'll reply back with what I get after its all done.
Well I installed Opera browser, Re-installed Flash player and Rebooted my phone. Once running I when to adobe.com to test the flash and in the content window it states: To view this experience, you need JavaScript enabled and the latest adobe flash player installed
I have opera and it works with flash installed. I haven't really seen flash working since installation. Tried using opera to go to YouTube but it opened the app rather than embedding in the browser.

I give up. about to for the 5th time now completely reset my phone, format my SD card, and redue the entire phone from scratch.
With flashed installed I can't even goto appbrain app market without the never ending FC happening just as Appbrain begins to load. This sucks! I really don't want to spend half the day again reinstalling all my crap back to this phone. Its been a headache sence day 1 I had it till now. Seemed to run just fine leaving the thing alone aside trying to figure out what bloatware crap other then the 2 lousy games that comes with the phone.
By the way. The bloatware is mobile web, mybackup, uno, my account, storefront, midnight bowling, ziotop10apps, and you can remove home screen tips

I really don't remember Kyocera saying it was multitouch. I do remember some reviews of the phone saying that it was, but those are not associated with Kyocera, those are just some guys online giving their two cents on their blogs and websites.
On the actual Kyocera Zio website,for the Spring version with Froyo on it it states:
Display Specs: 3.5" 262K-color TFT LCD WVGA (480x800 pixels), capacitive touch screen navigation
Input: SWYPE - Fast and easy text input
Navigation: Track Ball navigation
Physical
It does not mention multitouch
Hey everyone i thought i would bring the good news to people who are swype fans and let you guys know that the new swype 3.0 is available for download and is open for the public to join as well.
i know people on the TB were having some problems with swype in the beginning, and for all i know got fixed long before beta 3.0, but regardless the new 3.0 fixes the spacing problem on the TB and has some cool new features as well, go check it out at swype beta website
http://beta.swype.com/
Great find.. thanks!
Works great

It seems to have fixed the issue at reboot. Don't need to toggle input methods anymore to get swype fired up which was anoying
So far so good! First time that the downloaded beta actually typed properly. Previously had to use a diff version found on xda here somewhere.

anyone else getting slight lag with swype 3.0 on gingerBAMF?
I still have to toggle. Did you guys remove and redownload the installer our simply run the installer and let it update the app?
Swype issue?
When double spacing on swype it does not auto install period, is anyone else experiencing this?

same issue here. really annoying
I totally uninstalled the installer & app... started from scratch... Works fantastic, no spacing or reboot issues.
The new inline word suggestion is top notch. Will see how it "learns" but maybe just a half step below swiftkey so far after a few minutes of use...

Just swype from period to space. Much easier motion.

I still like Flext9 a lot...although I am using this on my Xoom because it supports tablets and Flext9 doesn't.
+100 on flext9.
Autospacing doesn't work for me when i am texting. Works fine in email and other applications though.
Uninstall and re-install worked for me.
I agree, the update is really nice. It still does not work with the pre-installed messaging app, but with apps like handcent, I will never go back to the pre-installed app.
I logged in with my account, installed the installer and the version says 1.1.26483. Is that just the installer or is something wrong?
I went ahead and installed it and my swype isn't white like in the picture either.
I bounce between Swype and FlexT9 periodically. Flex is easier with words that have double letters, but it really, really sucks in dealing with spaces after punctuation.

Thanks so much for posting this, I was lamenting my lack of swype, now I can swype to my heart's content. That reminds me, is there a way to put away the swype keypad like the stock one?

I love the stock browser in CM9 on the Touchpad. The side swipe controls and the way it handles tabs is just awesome. Why this isn't part of Chrome mobile I can't figure out, the controls are perfection in my opinion.
Can I take the .apk and put it on my ICS phone and it work? It's an HTC Amaze, T-Mobile, rooted of course. Anything else I'd need to copy over ? Any chance this works or is this a pipe dream?
Thanks as always XDA world for your thoughts and suggestions.
xScope browser apk it has tabs and swype left to see previous pages. There is also a pro version in market.

Awesome, I'll check it out. I've tried a ton of the browsers, but never heard of this one. Thanks for the heads up.
Stock ICS browser is the same on all devices running ICS.

Well, that's not entirely true. My HTC Amaze has a stock browser with the filename "browser.apk", but it doesn't look or work anything like the stock browser in CM9, it kind of sucks. Most importantly it is missing the awesome side-swipe function buttons from the CM9 version, which I like quite a bit. And like Chrome, it can sync in your desktop bookmarks. Also, Chrome mobile sucks on this phone, very buggy.
I went ahead and tried using the CM9 stock browser in place of the stock browser in the HTC ICS version, it worked well and I can't find any issues.
Here is what I did:
- On the Amaze I renamed "browser.apk" to "!browser.apk!"
- I copied the "browser.apk" file from my Touchpad into \system\apps
- Reboot and done
Works fine as far as I can tell.... but I don't know if this broke something somewhere else that I'm not aware of yet.
