Hi!
I am not entirely happy with neither the stock keyboard (space bar to narrow, I.keep.hitting.period.instead) nor the Google keyboard whch is available on the Play Store (umlauts (äöü) need left or right swipes to get to because the numbers are the standard option after a longpress). However, the Cyanogenmod Keyboard fulfills both requirements.
Could someone please pull the Textinput.apk from a CM-Rom so I can replace the Google one with the CM Keyboard? Or better yet, compile the APK for me to be installed independently? I would very much apreciate the effort!
EDIT: Just tried it myself, downloaded CM, copied it to SD, installed. But the numbers are still default on a long press. Could someone please change the keyboard language to German and longpress o and u? see if 7 and 9 are the default longpress letters? thank you!

I love the AOSP build, but I'd like to change some of it...
Is it possible to get the sense keyboard on it (I HATE the vanilla one)?
And how do I remove the background on the lockscreen?
thanks for any help!

I believe to do much of this you need to modify the source. For the Sense keyboard you need the HTC frameworks which essentially makes the system an HTC Sense system anyway. I know back in the day Cyanogen released an HTC_IME.apk that would work standalone but I never got it to work on AOSP.
For the lockscreen, I believe this is part of the AOSP source as well but someone will need to confirm that for me.

I figured that much. I just don't know what .apk's to push. I flashed the signed IME from that new thread about stock Rosie, but it did nothing
I figure the lockscreen is just an image somewhere that I need to edit. I know the 2.1 build has a clear vanilla lock.
What don't you like about the keyboard? I think its just as good as the HTC one. Once you get the dictionary working properly that is. I posted up a thread just the other day on predictive text. Flips sent a link where you can get an updated IME file. Check it out. If you're still not happy, check out better keyboard apk from the market.

the layout is WAY off. and, the lack of a 'keyboard close' button, i cannot stand. plus, with the HTC one, i don't have to hit a button to get to my punctuation...
i've flashed the IME and that helped (i'm glad he had all the curse words. lol) but i'm still against the general layout...
i'm in love with the AOSP because its so minimal on the system memory that it makes my phone quick as lightning. i just want a clear lock screen and the Rosie keyboard...
So i would like to know is it posible to theme the cyanogen mod keybaord to something else? Cause its rly awfull looking to me And i cant rly use an other because of the dictionary
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Or maybe increase its size?
I must agree with Rockeer, further noting that on my HTC Aria that the keyboard takes up so much screen that I cannot see what I am doing, and I cannot find any settings to change the UI without disabling predictive words (which I use heavily). I am hoping that there is an htc_ime keyboard that can be installed that works with CM7, but even changing the UI would be great!
Thanks in advance!
Just started using it and it works great!
Just have two questions:
1) Where can I configure the statusbar pulldown appearance? I want it to looklike this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814890
2) Is there anyway to change the keyboard layout to include the "ñ" key? I have it set to spanish, but the layout stays the same, I still have to keep the "n" key pressed to get the "ñ"
thanks a lot!

If I understood your question , then
1) Change your theme to some other CM7 theme. That changes the pulldown appearance.
2) Change your keyboard. Use some third party app. Try Swiftkey. I think it has this letter.
I guess for the 1st question you could either: Change theme to a CM7 theme in the theme chooser and market, or you could try flashing it, but i dont think it will work with our phone, so IMO get a CM7 theme
use go keyboard(free) install spanish
Hey, I also yesterday installed GDX and it works gr8 inspite of some sound issues with songs(i had crappy sound tell me if u also encounter them)
Now, for
1. Get couple of CyanogenMod themes by searching them. They change the look of ur phone and including status bar.
Get themes on

[Remove those spaces in the link as i m not allowed to post links as a newbie]
and for
2. Use a third party keyboard app. Try using GO keyboard, Swiftkey or SlideIT

Please press the thanks button if i helped u! I m just a newbie
OT: I like the person above in spite of being newbie he did a good job sharing thru his exp. Keep it up tdhawan mwah
You deserved your first THANKS
Thanks a lot everyone!
For 1: I looked into the theme department, but was a little overwhelmed with all the alternatives... what are some of your favourites?
For 2: I tried Go Keyboard but it doe3sn't have the Ñ, I'll take a look at swiftkey.
thanks!
Also, if I don't change the theme, can I at least add more buttons to the pulldown menu? the APN switch is what I need.
thanks!
You can found the available widget in
System >> Cyanogenmod setting >> Interface >> Notification Power Widget >> Widget Buttons then check the widget you want
Yes, use some other cm7 theme, about keyboard i would recommend xperia`s keyboard... It should have all languages i think..

Yeah, i would recommend sony keyboard, but if you want that certain letter, try swiftkey. Slide it would also be an alternative.
There are a fair amount of foreign language options for the Sense keyboard but to my amazement there is no Japanese. There is the Google IME that can be downloaded from the Play Store and while tolerable, Sense does not make it easy to switch to it. I either have to have yet another icon in my status bar as an IME switcher or pull down settings and change it in the Language menu every other time I get a message.
There has to be something floating around that I can install, I'm sure it's in the HTC J ROM's but I don't know enough to extract it myself. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it, I love this phone and the Sense (to my surprise) but this is really killing me.
I have this problem, when I change a theme of UI, it changes google keyboard layout. I use Kitkat keyboard with CM10 Mini rom. Kitkat keyboard is the only one I like, because it doesn't use many resources and I can change long press duration. Is this problem solvable?

It should depend from them-to-theme. Which theme are you using?
tried simplex, simplex blue, lunar, ubuntu - all the same
It's seems that it's know bug.
