[SOLVED] .apk for Gingerbread keyboard for HD builds

Finally, there is now a .apk for a simple install of the new Gingerbread keyboard.
It has been confirmed working for MCCM HD and MDJ Desire HD build so it should work for all the other HD builds.
The .apk files can be found here.

I would love to get this working as well. To shed some light, it does work on Motoman's black and blue, which is based off of MDJ's rEVOlution 2.0. So I know it is sense compatible, just not Desire HD compatible.

I would love if someone got this working!

This is the error log when FC. I cant look at it now but I suppose lib files needs to be changed. I have no C-coding capabilities.. so..

+!. I would love this too, it's the only thing missing from MDJ's RevolutionHD build. I honestly don't think many people are bothered though, the problem is that once I'd tried it with a Froyo build it's horrible going back to the HTC one. So unresponsive and nasty.

I tried the gingerbread keyboard in darkstones superram build, and man I hated it! How do you guys deal with not have the arrow keys? Especially with copy and pasting, editting, etc...its a pain without the arrow keys.

You don't need arrow keys with the HD builds because you get the zoom and select features when you press and hold on the text area.

But when you mistype and you want to correct a single letter, then tipping with a finger can be difficult... thus i love the arrow buttons!

I am just guessing here but I dont think you have actually tried to pin point where you want the cursor on one of the Desire HD builds. All you have to do is put your finger on the text and it magnifies it for improved accuracy, similar to the iphone really but it works a treat. Saying that though, this improvement over positioning the cursor may have something to do with why it isnt compatible with the Desire HD builds yet. I'm not a programmer but I should imagine it would just be a case of modifying the script to get this to work.

I have not messed with the new Gingerbread keyboard yet, but does the zoom or curser location feature packaged with the keyboard or is that some other sort of small application?
I use Smart Keyboard so i switch between the HTC keyboard and the iPhone keyboard.
(I find Black or darker keyboards harder to type outside, compared to lighter or white keyboards)
A friend emailed me the Gingerbread keyboard and I'm not exactly where to install it?
/SD/Android applications?

I think you have a point with cursor placement, it is the same no matter which keyboard you use. I were just clutching at straws when I suggested it. I'm not a chef or programmer so dont have a clue how to fix the Gingerbread keyboard with the Desire HD builds. I know you have to move the app and lib files into the system directory for CM6, MIUI and I have heard Desire builds, it seems it is only the Desire HD builds where there is a problem as force error pops up.
Maybe soon Gingerbread keyboard will be available with any build, or someone releases a fix for it.

+1 to this, I would LOVE to see a Gingerbread keyboard on MDJ Desire HD!

+ 1 here.
Hope the Android ROM chiefs incorporate it in their next releases while we wait for a gingerbread ROM

+1,, i hope to see this work on hd desire builds too!

as i mentioned in ur other thread i found it i'll also post the link here for those hunting the famous gingerbread keyboard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202

Thanks for the link. It says in the link provided that the build they are using is a cm6 build. However I have downloaded the relevant apk for 2.2 desire_hd2 build and installed it without any problems. After ticking the box in settings and selecting Gingerbread keyboard, the same force close issue comes up.
It seems the Android keyboard works with every build apart from the Desire HD build. Lets hope a solution is found soon.

Just wanna subscribe to this thread

WTH is this stickied?
There isn't even a dummies guide to running Android on a HD2 stickied (even though the threads exist), yet this thread gets stickied?

what's so special about this keyboard?

what's special about it is that we are all INSTALL ADICTS and just have to try it out coz it's out there ....and what others have working must be working on our HD2 with the latest ROM too ...

[Q] Perception 10.3 Keyboard?

So i just flashed the perception 10.3 rom and the only two keyboard options are the stock samsung swype keyboard and the stock samsung keyboard. Neither of them float my boat because I am not fond of swype and with the samsung keyboard there is no spell check and no option to place a period when u space bar twice. I like the layout of the stock android keyboard much better. Are there any other keyboards for perception that I could install somehow?

I'm also on 10.3 and would like the 2.3 keyboard that many other roms are using. Can't seem to find a way to add this to my rom.
EDIT**
I just found a place with the gingerbread keyboard. check out the link i posted for my edit reason. (not enough posts to post links... annoying.)

Here you go
I also use Perception 10.3, and wanted the ASOP keyboard. This is the Gingerbread version. The FroYo or even Eclair version is probably floating around XDA somewhere.

It's tough to read through 100 pages or more of posts but I just did that with Andromeda and learned a lot I never would have found with search. It has Swype, Samsung and MTM Gingerbread. Personally, I'm a Swype fan.

[Q] Which keyboard do you use?

Hiho, i've searched already if i can find a thread like this, but i didn't.
So for my and maybe your interest, which Keyboard do you use?
Samsung, Gingerbread, Swype?
Thanks
p.s. the version depends on the choseable keyboards, because on below 2.3 you dont have Gingerbread Keyboard...

SlideIT on 2.3.3

Since getting my SGS, always used Swype. Tried using the GB keyboard but just keep going back to Swype.

I don't use any of the above mentioned keyboards. I use Better Keyboard 8.

I use the Samsung keyboard that's enough for me

Gingerbread keyboard is available for 2.2

Multiling Gingerbread Keyboard

Swipe, after a bit of training, it is the fastes way to type for me.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I also vote for swype.
I like the suggestions from the gingerbread keyboard though, the swype suggestions dialog is really obstrusive, that's the only thing I've got against it.
But I keep going back to swype since it predicts what I want to write with great accuracy and I end up writing a lot faster with it.
BTW my main language is spanish, and it works like a charm with it.

Swype all the way. Haven't even tried any other keyboard yet.
It's so convinient

Swype 2.3+ , i get annoyed when i flash roms and the samsung kb is there.

can't beat swype i reckon, using a normal touch keyboard to press every single button is so tedious now and swype is way faster once u get used to it

Smart Keyboard Pro with personnal skin

I'm in love with swype, it's the best keyboard I've ever used. One thing I didn't like with it, it saves every entry I tap, other than this I'm so happy with it

i thought samsung keyboard is really fast but ill test swype now too... this popup often bothered me in typing very quick, but maybe after learning many words it'll be quick
thx to all =)

I use swype. Nothing quite as satisfying as swyping out your whole email address in less than a second
It's also great for making sure nosy people can't peak at your passwords when you have trail off.

[Q] I897UCKF1 problem with samsung keyboard XT9 in email

I flashed the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249 and I love the increased battery life. But, one problem I've noticed is that when I have the samsung keyboard XT9 selected and when I'm typing in an email for some reason the first character of the word gets dropped. (eg. type "the" it puts in "he"). Sometimes it will do it in my SMS messages but not all the time. Also, if I chose the Android keyboard it doesn't have that problem but then again it doesn't have the XT9 feature. I like the XT9 features and think it must have something to do with that. Has anyone else experience this and/or know how I can fix this?
Thanks, in advance for any help or direction that you can give me.

If I turn off the XT9 predictive text under samsung keyboard then I don't have the problem I checked and it's the 2.3.3 samsung keyboard. But, I like the XT9 predictive text feature and find it odd that it only happens under the email program. Is there a way that I can reinstall this .apk?

Try out this keyboard. Personally, it's one of my favorites.

Thanks, Born but I'm not really looking for another keyboard option. I would like to fix the stock keyboard that I already like and used

I wonder if it has something to do with the mail client? Anyone else have this problem? Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Is anyone else that has flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249 (I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Fugu Root) had any problems using the stock samsung keyboard along with the XT9 advance features in the stock email client? Please confirm that it's working for you or not. That will at least help me determine if it's a bad/bug in the ROM or something that I did in flashing it. Thanks, to all who answer!

Custom rom and use samsung keyboard
How to use samsung keyboard on my custom rom ? o_0
HELP ME !>.<
i use ics2 rom

I think that was one of my major problems with KF1 too. That, and my touchscreen sensitivity was really poor.
I too like the Samsung keyboard, and don't like the newer versions though. I think the best version of the Samsung keyboard came out of KH3, or KI2. I've had problems with the newer versions with auto-captitalization not working correctly. I always have to backspace after ending a sentence with a period to get the first letter of the next sentence to capitalize. Also even if I have next word prediction unchecked, it still tries to predict quite often.
Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure it was KH3, because that's the only 2.3.4 that I have.

Installing Swype for Android

Hey Guys,
Can anyone tell me how can I get the swype to work on the X8, i've installed it and it runs, i select to use the keyboard BUT when it shows up and I swipe it seems to be off by a lot on the swype, like if the keys werent calibrated and adjusted to the screen swypes. Any idea on how i can get this wonderfull app running on the X8, since I had it on my Nokia 5800 this was the fastest way to text, now I can't handle the keyboard either htc nor android live up to the swyping technique!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the advice, I downloaded and tried this one BUT after I restarted the phone and I select the typing area the keyboard won't come up, I have to select the Android or HTC one again, I un-installed it and installed again but the keyboard swiping doesn't really work quite the same as SWYPE because it kinda releases the motion in the middle of a slide. I will try GO keyboard now just cause I rather swyping than typing.
