I have managed to flash the X10 mini default input onto my Galaxy S running slim ics 3.2. I got the files from the x10 mini discussion on this forum. You can find it by searching SqashiIntputMethod. This is one of the best T9 android keyboards. It works fine except when it force closes when i try to select an alternative word from the dictionary. The keys are also small but very accurate. You have to try really hard to hit the wrong key.
I do not know if this is a slim ics issue or just a general compatibility issue with Galaxy s. If you do not mind and are an experienced user please try it on your phone and tell me the result. If you are a developer and have experience in inputs, kindly tweak it so that this is compatible with galaxy s and other ics devices. I am sure lots of T9 lovers will appreciate this. I have attached a screenshot and the zip file to flash if you are interested. The Zip file i downloaded from SE threads and is paul xxx.
I know i could have posted this under the development threads but i only have 4 posts under my name and therefore not able to post there.

I'm running Perception 10.1 and it only comes with the Samsung keyboard and Swype. I dont like either of those. Personally I like the stock android keyboard that was in the version of Cog 2.2B7 that I was running.
Does anybody know where I can find the apk for the regular Android keyboard that will work with 2.2.1?
Thanks!
I have the gingerbread keyboard that is almost the same, find it attached. it is an .apk so just install it, then go to settings and make sure it has a checkmarc so you can select it on the keyboard selection.
It only has English but I have the other .apk with lots more languages if you need it
PS : I am running 2.2.1 so I know this works

Thanks. I have tried that one. Its better than the samsung keyboard but the keys are a little small, in my opinion.
I did manage to find the stock android keyboard in the Cog2.2B7 zip file that I had. I just took it out of there and installed it on my phone, it seems to work.
cool, I like this one because the keys are a little smaller LOL
Ok thought I would take the rubbish out of the dev thread.
So far I have done this:
Flashed JVT from start with custom .PIT file. Speeds up Ice Cream sandwich, I've tested this and it works great. Visually no lag and it works on top of any lag fix you do after wards.
[HOW TO]

Download and instructions - Everything you need is in that zip (its not a CWM zip by the way) load it to your PC and unzip. Follow the PDF print outs I have included and also as an acknowledgement to ykkfive's hard work (this references directly back to coolya's work from XDA https://github.com/cmsgs/utilities/tree/master/pit-stuff)

1. You can do this by taking a CWM Nandroid backup of your current setup.
2. Flash back to stock using Odin and the files I have provided in my drop box zip file.
3. I have added modem.bin file, script manager apk, buszybox apk and superuser apk for everyone should they wish to test the script and modem on the base JVT setup that they just flashed.
4. When it works correctly boot into recovery and then restore your CWM Nandroid backup and viola your done
5. Boot up - NB: You will notice you have no reception until you run the script in script manager.
You set on moot the script to run and in ICS it seems to work better than on JVT (where I had to initiate the script even after checking the onboot function).

Nova Launcher! Yeeeew finally a replacement. ****s on the standard launcher, can make GOSMS my sms app in the dock setup just how I always wanted it. Go Launcher Ex fails big time on ICS so don't bother installing it (even though I love it) the animations on GO Launcher cause big time crashing hahaha test for ya self for LOLs
You will ditch the stock launcher in an instant once your on this. It allows resizing of widgets and app draw also has widget draw like standard launcher.

Ice cream sandwich clock download from market. It looks like the clock in the pictured icon of the clock....not the gay looking analog clock that comes with it that I tried for ages to work out how to change the skin when you can't.
Haven't got a link for it atm but its in the Market so just download from there.

Whats the difference? I am running a tweaked version of MyUI ICS ROM on my Phone and freakin rocks!
The MyUI version of the ICS ROM based off OneCosmic's RC 2.11.
- List of Mods. 1% increments on the battery using the similar style to Perka's MOD of Elin ROM ICS. Uses the ICS font for numerals upto 100 and has blue lightning bolt whilst charging.
- Uses Nova Launcher and Glitch Kernel but with the nice white standard Google boot image and tweaked Boot animation as well.
-Center Date in notification dropdowm menu
Drop box is here:

Feel free to try it out. Just do Nandroid backup of your ROM and then flash this, then restore Data from your Nandroid backup and your back in action
anyway to stop vibration on lockscren?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I think there is, u need to search in settings of the phone.
Thanks alot, Ive been looking for swype and a good and proper replacement launcher!
swype thread link broken?
didnt find a way to disable vibration on lock screen. if you disable haptic feedback in settings, it still vibrates.
furthermore, the vibration on haptic feedback is very high and not configureable.. thats annoying. disabled it, using now a keyboard with custom vibration length (htc_ime mod, yeah - still running under ics)

That one doesn't work after i tested it. The look of it is nice but the apk is made for a much bigger phone. It stretches too wide for the screen lol.
I went back to FlexT9 keyboard. By far the best swype out there that I have ever used. I keep deviating but I keep returning back to that old faithful hahaha. The issue with ICS is that it won't let you over ride the standard ICS keyboard to use anything other than native. So you need to freeze the keyboard apps with Titanium Backup. Then install the keyboard of your choice...in my case FlexT9. then I go and remove the apks from system/app like LatinIME and any associations with the standard keyboard, dictionary etc and put them in a folder on my SD card for "just-in-case"....cause that Justin bloke has saved me on many occasions lol.
I managed to use SwiftKey X without any problem - I do not need to freeze the stock ics keyboard apps.
i guess u knw wt i have done ..
You've found my very very very old thread that I started when ICS only first came to SGS...hahah
Hello everybuddy
Happy to be among you XDA members
I am new to android, I know how to work with Odin and what a custom ROM, rooted OS,... mean and need some answers to figure out some concepts:
1. I guess Google has made android a modular and structured platform, is it possible to extract some base applications from one ROM and install it on another one currently running on the phone (i9000 in this case), for example is it possible to extract ICS sms app and install it on a 2.3.3 ROM on the phone? or for example extract excellent Samsung keyboard from stock 2.3.3 ROM and install it in a custom ICS ROM?
2. How android manages input languages? for example I see one ROM providing 6 european languages and another with middle-eastern ones... does android provide a regular method to install and uninstall input languages from standard keyboard? (for example you may tell take X files from some ROM and add them to Y folder in another ROM) if so I may add some languages to an ICS custom ROM.
3. How it manages fonts? is there a regular method to add other fonts to the phone? and how to set the default one?
4. A strange problem I saw in a custom ICS rom was that it kept phone numbers in dash-based format (i.e. 090-233-23-23) and if the numbers already in address book was simple and dash-free, wile receiving incoming calls the phone app can't match the contact name in the address book and only shows the number! How you may change this? I like numbers stay simple and dash-free!
5. How to analysis all low-level OS files currently on the phone? for example is there some PC software similar to Odin that connects to phone and shows file system tree ?
Thanks in advanced for any help and reply
as far as keyboard goes if you are talking about swype you can get the swype beta which is free and works on Ics.
I have this on my phone running team icsgs.
Just do a quick google search for swype beta.

Hi, did you find out how input languages work? I just installed the ICS333 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) and would like to add Greek, which is not currently listed (in the Android keyboard settings > input languages).

Hi,
Ive just recently bought a Galaxy Note to my collection and I cant wait to start devving for it. But before I change ROMS I wanted to make something for thay everyone can benefit from. So I made a TouchWiz5 UI for the Note which will be featuring in my ROM but for now its for every ROM. This tutorial will give you the SIII launcher, a few apps such as SVOICE and even the Lockscreen. You will need to download some paid applications so beware to buy from the PlayStore or searching the APK on Google would easily do to

MOD EDIT: Thread closed as module requests do not belong here. Please see the guidelines for more info.
Hi , I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus phone, and custom ROM [KitKat 4.4.2]
I need module which changes KK's pattern lockscreen to older (desirable ICS or GB) because pattern dots are too small for my device's MDPI screen . I will be grateful if you create it. BTW, I apologize if you find something strange in my words #sorry4myenglish.
There is a thread for module requests. Sorry cant get you link at the moment
