[Q] [REQ] stock android keyboard - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Any alternative working keyboard with foreign (Norwegian) symbols?

I would like to be able to compose mail and search with the Norwegian special characters, but of course since this unit's made for the US market they're not there. I tried installing Swype version for WVGA, but I couldn't even get it to show in the Extras or anywhere else. Can somebody please tell me about something I could use?
I tried to install the Scandinavian Keyboard by trygveaa, but I think the problem is that there is no way of changing keyboard settings. So is there a sneaky way of doing this?
Thanks in advance!
+1, very interested as I will be using mine in France, so would much prefer AZERTY keyboard.
+1 here, would love getting Icelandic letters
Hexodam, I know you need that. You can't write "Svarti dauði" in E-mails without them! You'll have to call it "brennivin", and that's not as cool!
Of course you could just drink mjød, but what's the fun in that?
Some people were able to install by replacing LatinIME.apk in system/app. You need to rename the softkey apk of your choice and replace it with LatinIME.apk. You have to make system folder writerble in order to do this. I wanted to install korean keyboared but no luck. After replacing apk korean keyboard shows up. When I touch it. It hides. Well don't forget to backup the original LatinIME.apk before you do this.
Thats exactly why, have to tell my friends "Drunk off my ass thanks to svarti dauði"

I tried with Astro, but of course it didn't work since the system folder probably isn't writeable. I searched for that on Google, but that looked a bit too scary...for me.

You can use Root Explorer to make it R/W, very easy to use.
Not easy enough for a Windows Mobile guy, it seems... I have Root Explorer installed, but I can't seem to find out how to make it RW. By Googling I found something about "Mount RW" by tapping in the upper right corner, but there's nothing in that corner.
I have used ADB and the method at NookDevs to make it RW, but that didn't really work. It says in the list that it's RW, but trying to delete or rename the LatinIME.apk nothing happens. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

[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.

[Q] Keyboard with Spell check?

Hi, I've been trying to find a replacement keyboard that will allow me to spell check. Does anyone know of one that would work with the Nook Touch?
So, after many keyboards and much frustration, I finally found a keyboard that will allow for spell checking on the Nook Touch. Here is the link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vllwp.inputmethod.latin.
I'm interested too. Tried to install SwiftKey tablet x, thumbkeyboard and smartkeyboard but didn't succeed
Any ideas ?
Thank you
No luck here. I wonder if there's some android file we're missing on the Nook. There's mention of a custom ROM and maybe this will be corrected.
Nook Touch working keyboard
Slide it keyboard works perfect for me. You can try this method of installation for other keyboards . Follow the steps :
1.Install Root Explorer
2.Install Slide it keyboard
3.Open Root explorer (Activate Mount R/W) -> go to data/ app -> copy Slide it kbd. apk -> paste it to system/ app
4.Restart the device
5.Go to Nook color tools and change the keyboard
That's all! Hope this help

Home selector is installed - no error, but when I install LG home it´s write the message "This is a system application. The correction you want to replace it? All previous user data will be saved." Click on OK, I installed, being installed and then "Application not installed".
I have no root and I have the original ROM V10i.
How can I, please, this launcher to get Black, preferably with native widgets?
Thank you very much for your help.

well you need root if it is recognised as system app. then you need a file manager to navigate to system folder amd manually copy the file inside system/apps. then reboot and it should work. in case it doesn't then you need to go to system/apps again and click on it so it asks you to install. it should if you have rooted propperly. but why on earth would you want that launcher. it is old, not as good as thw ob stock and not even sure if it scales to ob screen resollution as optimus one has half screen res than ob. there are many launchers out there that are faster and more beautifull like go launcher or launcher360...

Is your keyboard installed on sd card or internal? Move to internal and convert it to system app. And delete old keyboard.

can you tell me how to convert it to system app?, i cant delete the default keyboard, i tried to delete it from titanium back up but i cant find the .apk file for the default keyboard
If you have your keyboard on SDCard, just put it back in the internal storage, define it as default keyboard and you're all set!
