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.

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.

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!

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.

[Q] New Swype on DL30

Alright did anyone get the new Swype to work on DL30 froyo leak? Thats the only think missing to make me happy... I tried the old method but it didn't work....let us know if you find something!!!

i would also like to know, everytime i delete it from system/app, lib, data, ect. it magically comes back. and the uninstall button stays greyed out, so the beta installer wont work :/ idk if anyone has gotten it working yet.

I flashed DL30 and it has worked since I flash it.

Using root explorer delete the swype.apk in system/app and delete libSwypecore.so from system/lib
Extract the apk and install it. (Just pasting it in system/app gave me fc).
I'm on DL30 clean v .7 and swype settings now say v. 2.15.56.14870.t100
Edit: Looks like the file is no longer in the post. If you can get your hands on the apk it should install.

I used the beta installer (will allow updates this way) rather than the actual apk and it works flawlessly.
1. Install the beta installer (from swype's website)
2. Change to Android keyboard
3. Use Root Explorer to go to /system/app
4. Delete Skype apk
5. Go to /system/lib and delete libswypecore.so
6. Reboot
7. Open Swype installer and it should now allow you to install the newest version.
Enjoy!

why does this picture look different then the one that got linked in the other thread?

Just an FYI, a new version of Swype came out today (2.17.59.15552.t100) and if you don't install it using the method I wrote, you won't get the update. Swype requires that you have the Beta Installer installed. Also, I learned today after flashing Super Clean 0.8 that you don't need to reboot after you nuke the original Swype files (step 6 in my post)

You can't link Swype...sorry... but google "swype beta" and you'll be good

im having problems.
I deleted the two swype files, downloaded the installer, ran it and after it downloaded swype and asked to install it said that it was unsucessful. I'm running superclean 1.0...
EDIT:
Instead of deleting the files I re-named them to .old and that worked. Luckily I kept backups of each one of those files before I deleted them

Thanks! the 7 step procedure worked perfectly for me

The beta installer method worked for me but I prefer stock swype, seems more accurate.

[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!

It's because it needs to be installed in /system/app

Try doing this
Instructions:
*You can try to install this .apk over top of your current market, but it may not work. If it won’t, then you will need to be rooted and follow the instructions below.
1. Download the file from above (Market-3.4.4.apk) to your SD card.
2. In Root Explorer, find the file you just downloaded and copy it.
3. Move into /system/app and hit the R/W button to mount – then paste the file.
4. Find Vending.apk and rename it to something like Vending.apk1.
5. Long press on Market-3.4.4.apk and rename it to Vending.apk.
6. Afterwards, long press on it again and choose “Permissions.”
7. Change the permissions to this:
{
"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"
}
8. Press “OK”, reboot and enjoy the new market.
Let us know if you run into any issues.

Thanks for the post... but i am still having problem buying apps.
Simple translate:
Error
An error occured, please try again.

I get build version 3.3.12 when doing that. is that correct?

I did the same. Then out of exasperation, within root explorer, I ran the APK, was prompted to overwrite my other system app, and I did it. I assume the fixed permissions had something to do with it, but it worked for me.

I noticed a huge difference in speed and loading, well done Google

Can't even open it, keeps FCing. Was it cause I deleted the old vending.apk?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

Fix permissions, reboot. Still not working ? Must be kernel problem, not sure. Works for 90% of the people flawlessly.
Problems related to buying apps could be (not asserting) server side problems which many faced during sale.

Well I am running a Trinity kernel, which one do you recommend? I just want my market to work I changed permissions like said in the past posts

Try fixing permissions through Recovery or Rom Manager also.
