[Q] [REQ] stock android keyboard

Hi!
Looked for it everywhere, but could not find... is there a way to install LatinIME on my galaxy s? i kind of like it best among keyboards, swipe is totally useless if it does not have required language support.

This will install the 2.1 keyboard with voice to text working (on any text input that uses the default keyboard).
The original keyboard will not be affected - you will simply have 2 Android Keyboards to choose from in Settings > Language and keyboard (plus Swype, if you have it or install it)
You need to be rooted.
Code:
To install the keyboard apk, unpack the file and put the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk on your sdcard.
Mount system r/w and put the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk in the /system/app folder.
chmod it 644
Do the same for LatinIME.apk
Mount system as r/o and reboot.
After rebooting, in Settings > Language and keyboard. If you have Swype installed, it will still work if you select it (but you probably won't want to!).
Try it out and tell me what happens!!

thank You, but link gives me
"Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.
Use the search form above to search again"
and is voice input icon removable? it is useless to me.

Try it now.
I don't know how it would work without the voice search.

the application voice search (...) has stopped unexpectedly. FC
any ideas what I did wrong?

I probably did not explain enough, i did installation with root explorer (copy and paste to appropriate folder, with r/w), rebooted, it showed up as third keyboard, and when i selected it to type it did show this massage.

new suggestions please

Adding alternative keyboards

I have tnt lite running on my gtab and I was briefly able to use Smart Keyboard Pro but the option has since gone away. It shows up inthe keyboard list but it wont enable any alt keyboards.
Does anyone else have this problem? I really dislike the tnt western keyboard.

I have the same problem with TnTLite 2.02, which it will show on the IME list but can't able to enable it.
I same a similar posting on the TnTLite

To enable the keyboard u can't install u have to manually put them in the system/app folder set the permissions and restart. They will automatically be enabled, I tried a non compatable keyboard and got force closes but I was able to set it as an input method

I manually moved the Smart Keyboard Pro APKand the EN dictionary from /data/app to /system/app, changed permissions to 777 and rebooted. Then used Titanium to uninstall Tap n Tap Western.
Worked like a charm! I'm typing on SKP as my only keyboard right now. Works soooooo much better than TnT.

Im trying to find a multitouch keyboard like droid 2 or x that will work

Smart keyboard pro is multitouch enabled. Its by far the best overall keyboard... features vs performance.

Sorry for a noobie question but how do you set permissions?

Hey this process worked for the wiimote for TnT lite. I moved the wiimote apk using root explorer to the system app and now I can use the wiimote.

Did you try Swype over your Keyboard?
I seem to recall that one of the issues of making swipe work was the tnt keyboard style.
Edit: Just found the apk and installed with lib... didn't work
Didn't wanna try the change on build.prop either... not sure gonna change the tnt 2.04 as it is running smooth atm.
Hopefully someone smarter than me will try to fix it.
SKP works great btw. Didn't uninstall yet the TnTKeyboard but I freezed it on TB and it works the same way.

thats great but will it let you switch back and forth or do you have to set permissions and reboot every time?

all installed can be switched back and forth...

not sure what i'm doing wrong here, i pasted swiftkey then smart keyboard in system/app on after another and switched permissions on both i also uninstalled tapntap kb. now i have no keyboard. i uninstalled wiimote but it says wiimote is the enabled keyboard?? i have no idea...
should have left well enough alone, now i can't even add tapntap ime back, guess i'll just update to the new tnt lite
edit: ok i just had to untick wiimote which wasn't even there a min ago, but now i have tnt kb back and wiimote but it won't let me re select wiimote. i'll have to tinker with this

Oh really? The only reason I was sticking with Zpad right now was because of the Wiimote. I think I am going to switch over to TNT lite again now. It just seems faster at the moment. I love having so many choices for this device.

Does voice input work for you on SmartKeyboard?
Hello,
I was successfull in installing Smart Keyboard as suggested earlier in a post but I can not see "voice input" button on my keyboard. But I can on my Samsung Captivate for example.
Any ideas?

I tried this using androidmate, but I guess though it as a root file manager it does not have permission setting capability. Does anyone know of a free root file manager and file permission settings manager?

[Q] Better Keyboard

So I just installed better keyboard and I went to enable it and Im getting a message that says "This input method may be able to collect all the text you type, including personal data like passwords and credit card numbers. It comes from the application Better Keyboards. Use this input method?"
Should this be something I should be worried about?

No. That is the standard Android warning when installing any keyboard.

Anyone know if Swype is working on here yet?

Can't get alternate keyboard to enable
After I get an alternate keyboard installed, I can't get the checkbox to enable. I get the warning described above but then the keyboard doesn't enable and doesn't appear as a choice when you do the long press and select input method.

I have the same problem with an IME for pen reader. the main justifyer for me to purchase this tablet was to take notes at work but I can't get teh app to work... I am just waiting for 3.0 and hoping that it will evolve...

I was able to get SlideIt to work by installing it and then copying the apk file from /data/app and pasting it in /system/app. Then make sure to Mount R/W in the system folder and change permissions of the copied apk so that User is read/write and Group, Others is read only. Mount R/O. Now reboot. It should work now.
I am using TnT 2.2. There shouldn't be any need to enable it in the settings either. It will act like a system keyboard and will always be enabled. All you have to do is change input method by long tapping on a text box and selecting the newly installed keyboard.
I have tried this with a couple of other keyboards and it didn't work. Swype just says that it won't work with the screen size of the device.
I read this in another thread somewhere here. I can't take credit for this. Hope this helps.

I'm running the stock rom with the TNT enhancement pack. The strange thing is that I can't even find the downloaded apk file for the keyboard. When I go to the data folder in iFileManager, it is blank. What am I doing wrong?

From what I can tell, ES File Explorer can't see stuff in /data unless it is started AFTER the phone is rooted. Maybe the same goes for iFileManager.
So what I do is use z4root to get temporary root, kill ES File Explorer, then start ES File Explorer again. Then it can see /data.
Hope that this helps.

It is Zeam laucher and when i go to setting there aren't any option

Please Help me...

ok, try opening the rom.zip file, than open system folder to find build.prop... open that with a text editor (notepad+) scroll throught the build.prop untill you find a line that says
ro.sf.lcd_density = 160
if it says any other number, than change it to 160
if you dont see the text, than just add it and see if that changes anything when you reflash the rom...
be aware if you are using AmonRA you must sign the rom after zipping it

[Q] Install apk from stock rom backup

Hi,
I installed Nameless ROM and I love it. However, I'd like to reinstall some apk from my stock rom backup, namely HTC_IME.apk and IMEXT9French.apk, which are french canadian HTC keyboard and system locale. I tried every way to install these. Copying to system/app, install from sdcard, from adb shell. Nothing works. I thought it might be because these utilize odex files and nameless don't. So I tried deodexing using xUltimate, but this too fails.
Any idea how I might fix this??
Thanks.

Did you try installing the apk with the default package installer
and what do you mean "Nothing works", does it not show in manage apps or the keyboard

I don't have the original apk installer because it came preinstalled on the phone.
By nothing works I mean that the french canada locale does not show under language and keyboard. Also the HTC keyboard in french is azerty whereas a french canada keyboard is supposed to be qwerty.
I know I can bypass this by installing another keyboard, but I liked the HTC one and I made a point to resolve this issue just for the sake of it and as a way to learn how all this apk and android stuff works.
I've finally been able to deodex the fils manually, but still not working. When I run the apk and choose install, I get an error message "not installed".
I guess there might be some dependant files that need to be present in the Framework folder or maybe elsewhere?
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Is it just the stock Canadian keyboard your looking for? If so let me know and I'll pull the apk and post it for you.
In the future Titanium Backup may be useful to you, it's saved my butt plenty of times.

You should be able to get away with unzipping this archive and copying the two files I've included to system/app/ then restarting the device.
Let me know if that works.

Thank, I will try that. I already tried copying these two files from my stock backup, but that was not successful. I'll see if it's different with yours. I'll let you know what the result is.

awful eourchas
I'm still getting the f$%?" ASZERTY keyboard whenever I switch to french. I found that I can keep the English keyboard and turn on the second language autocorrect for french, which is working but not ideal.
I will take a look at Titanium Backup and see if I can come up with something.

Yeah, I would try restoring with Titanium Backup, later tonight I can send you a TiBa file. Did the French keyboard use the qwerty layout when you were on stock? My girlfriend uses an Optimus l7 and her stock keyboard had two layouts, t9 and qwertz which was extremely annoying and hard to use.
Also, maybe it's worth while to look into another keyboard, I switched to SwiftKey and find its way more functional than stock. I don't find it is slow like I remember from over a year ago on my x10.
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda premium

Yes my stock had a french qwerty keyboard.
I'll take a look at Swift Key. I had installed GoKeyboard but did not like it cause it takes way too much screen estate.
