Yes you can haz! Found this on Androidspin. Installed using instructions and it seems to work.
Off topic, but it is no longer considered funny on the Internet to say "I can haz..."
That being said, that is a pretty clean looking kb. If I was a fan of using the on-screen kb (read: if I didn't have fat thumbs), I'd definitely give that a try.

Hmm... I didn't get the memo on that. But I still think it's funny!
It's actually pretty functional. I use the on screen keyboard for quick texts and am using it right now. I still don't think it'll replace Swype or Swift Key. But it is a big improvement over the previous keyboard.

Is that the one with the fixed dictionary? There is one floating around that only pops up contacts and another that's fixed
Nevermind upon actually clicking the link I see that it does actually have the right dictionary and auto correct

The only thing that's ever missing from stock keyboards is gestures! I like being able to swipe left and right to bring up symbols instead of searching for where the symbol button is!

HA HA! By the sounds of it before your time (I'm old!) They were a toy from the '80's, like Army Men but cartoonish ants. There's a thing going around on Facebook about posting cartoons from your childhood as your profile pic for some stupid cause (the cause isn't stupid, believing that changing your profile pic will do anything is but I thought it'd be fun). I'm surprised you didn't ask about Go Bots! LMAO! My search history can get weird sometimes. Good thing the porn didn't showing up!
Love the new keyboard, had a couple of issues though. It was laggy at first, but I reflashed, and now it's fast again, don't know whether reflashing it or rebooting fixed it, but whatever,
also, it doesn't seem to like the word "don't". The only way it will suggest don't is if I type dont exactly. If I type something close, such as domt or dobt or dony it suggests font. It just won't suggest don't. Anyone else having this issue? I'm running cm6.1-stable with a ported theme on it ):
EDIT: I added don't to the user dictionary, now it suggests it. Still odd that it doesn't by default.
sweet, thanks man

Are you guys trying to install as an app? It needs to be flashed from recovery. Other than that I can only suggest you redownload and try again.

To clarify, you are stating they should be using this while in recovery:
Code:
adb install whatever.apk
Correct?
Not abd install. It's a flashable .zip. Flash just like a ROM.
Edit: Looking into it further, the .zip contains a shell script that removes the old keyboard and an update script to install the new one and of course the apk. You can do this all manually through adb. There's a guy (Ryan) that commented the instructions in the linked article.

So if it's a flashable zip then it can be done in recovery without adb. Just select 'install zip from sdcard' go to the zip and install like a rom. At least that's what I get out of it being a flashable zip - I'll try it and see.
In the linked thread it states go into recovery and install .zip. not anywhere does it say extract or use adb there are instructions to do it that way and if your getting the error when flashing then you will indeed need adb

Yeah, but it only works on froyo, don't pull a stupid like I did and try to flash it onto an odexed sense rom xD Had to reflash my rom because it removed all of my .odex files and I couldn't boot.
ANYWAY, yeah for some reason, it won't predict ANY words with apostrophes in them. Only if I add them to the user dictionary. Very annoying, but I suppose at some point I will have added every word that I could possibly conceive using into the user dictionary. I think it has something to do with me having the User Dictionary for Better Keyboard installed, it was only for sense UI roms, but titanium restored it when I hopped onto cm6.1, so that may have been the issue. Since, I uninstalled that user dictionary app, but it's still happening. Oh well, I think it's worth it.
Hey, I'm new to this whole ROOTED/FLASH/MOD thing..
Just rooted my phone like 10 min ago...
So forgive me if this question sounds stupid.
Does this Keyboard work on a Rooted Slide running Android 2.1??
Its posted under MyTouch Slide, and since the MTS doesnt come with 2.2 (nor is there a 100% port of 2.2 for the slide that I can find) Then Im assuming this should work under 2.1 - but it seems to not work. I flash the .zip through recovery mode, but when I reboot the old Touch2.1 Keyboard is still there and no GB Keyboard is to be found

I have had so many ROMS installed I can't recall which rom had the keyboard I am looking for as well as if anyone can point me in the right direction. This is what I am looking for:
The keyboard basically when typing words showed corrections for misspelled words and it would replace. But the keyboard also put a red line underneath it just like office in windows and u can come back later and touch the word with red line underneath and it give u suggestions and correct it.
Any ideas or suggestions thanks in advance.!!!!

I tried swift before but it never put the red line underneath misspelled word.
It just makes it easier to find the misspelled word but I thank you for your suggestion maybe will try again in the meantime anyone else have a suggestion maybe it isn't a keyboard feature but feature in ICS and we can get an apk for it.
Its the stock ics keyboard. But sorry, i don't have the apk.

I did lots of googles searches and no help there. some people are saying that the keyboard latinime.apk and the latindictionary apk are not even the program that does the red line its something else anyone with any knowledge in this can help thanks???

Yeah I tired copying the apk and push in the app folder through root explorer, i also tried installing it normally. Funny thing is they both work and gets the keyboard working fine but problem is the spell checking portion with the RED LINE which i am looking for does not work.
hmmmm weird spent couple hours last night trying to figure it out searched google no luck. is there any other ICS ROM out there besides stunner and CM9 that would have this working?
I want to stick with NOTE ROMS cause i use the S MEMO stuff a lot. Thanks in advance again.
Hey guys, I've seen a couple of people asking around for a mod to remap our "useless" search button. So I found the easy DIY solution!
Not sure if it's the same across all sense roms, so do hit me back on that! I did this for NIK's Aura Rebirth V3. (Thanks Nik, loved it! :highfive: )
*I'm an android noob, curiosity gave me a cat.
1. Using a root explorer, go to system/usr/keylayout
2. The file you're editting here is atmel-touchscreen.kl, so make a back up of it on your SDCARD just in case.
3. Next you'll see key 102, 139, 158, 217, 249
4. 217 should be originally your search button, indicated by "SEARCH"
5. Switch that with "APP_SWITCH" , do a hot restart, and you're good to go!
Did this using ES with root setting enabled.
Replace your SEARCH button with a RECENT APPS button!
Download a recovery-flashable .zip:
Use this to revert to an original functionality of a search button. It will become search[/b] again.
disable-recent-search.zip
Use this to make your search button a recent apps button
enable-recent-search.zip

As stated in the topic, it works only for sense. For AOSP, theres a more complicated process to go through... Google it up and create a guide for AOSPs?
Would love to but I am not good enough to do that. Still... GB switcher is more usefull than search
Is there any way to long press "search" key for search function back?
Thanks

It seems the other way around. I used this in my AOSP CM9 ROM by simply editing atmel.kl. I tried incorporating it into my Sense ROM and GB recent apps show up.. I've been looking for a few hours now, does anyone know how to fix this? I've found some related threads, but nothing that helps me.
As a lot of you seem to have issues after updating FB on our roms, non have really stated which roms your using so im assuming this is wide spread for us.
Now i had the problem when i updated to new version and my phone kept restarting on my ROM. I opened the app, app run fine, quit the app and all of a sudden phone reboots and never come back on. did this several times.
I removed new version and installed an earlier one and it seems fine.
If you have these problems please say so but in the mean time Ive hosted some of the older Facebook.apk for you to download and go backwards.
You may also be having problems if your using Facebook messenger, again restore back one.
Stock roms are going to present a problem. non rooted roms have no chance!
Rooted roms you may want to uninstall Facebook chat as well as there both linked together.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eg15q22l0d...ook_1.9.12.apk
I still use v1.9.9 as it presents no problems for me.
The procedure that's best is as follows.
uninstall Facebook.apk only with either link2sd or titanium backup. make sure its removed then wipe the cache, this is best done in recovery. reboot then install which version you want.
Installing another version over the top will still keep the data installed on the phone.
If you are using the HCTFacebook.apk (IE FB Button) wipe the data on that too!

I'm currently on Facebook v1.9.6 and have been prompted to update. I get occasional problems where it starts but can't load anything but the basic page (i.e. a blank FB page with the top row of buttons), so there's a temptation to update.
If I do, what's the best strategy in light of the issues people are having? Backup apps with Titanium, then update FB? Any advantage, do you think, in updating to 1.9.9 via your link, backing that up, then trying to update to the latest version?

i have tried updating to the new version same with messenger and it just keeps fudging up. so for now i will carry on using 1.9.9 and previous messenger.
to update it you will have to remove any version you have, i would only recommend rstoring via TB if its an earlier version to the newest and again remove the old one first.
after numerous of trys it seems that FB.20 doe not like being a System app.
ive attempted to run this on my new roms so see how you fair. it worked for me while i crash tested it

hi Bigbear
i have v11 with perflock and data2sd. fb 1.9.6

it launched the fb app and was able to connect and log in no problems
checked it a couple of times through out the day by launching the fb app and friend stream and seems to be ok for now.

not many people have had luck. it seems cm7 users don't have a problem using it...
locked bootloader is pointless but can be done by reversing the unlock.bin code you got sent ie using the dos cmds, instead of the unlock cmd lock it instead. as for absolutely stock wipe data/cache etc and reboot if your on stock anyway. note if you lock it and loose the unlock code you got sent it cannot be unlocked again as you have already done it.....keep that email safe!

Greetings all,
I am using swiftkey keyoboard, but my phone is a bit stupid in the sense that whenever I've rebooted my phone and later go to write something, somewhere, anywhere, my keyboard doesn't show up. Neither swiftkey nor stock keyboard is there for me. I have to go to settings and select default keyboard. However, the link/button or whatever, says that default IS swiftkey but when I click it to change, the default in the list is samsung keyboard, so I select swiftkey and NOW I can use the keyboard.
I just find it annoying to have to go through this every time I reboot my phone. Anyone got a tip or hint on how to make it remember my default settings?
Sincerly,
/Martin
