Gingerbread Keyboard for rooted DX - Droid X Android Development

http://bit.ly/hNlgaZ
1. Use Droid X Bootsrapper to boot into Clockwork Recovery
2. Navigate to mounts and storage
3. Mount /system
4. Back out to main menu and select install zip from sdcard
5. Select choose zip from sdcard
6. Navigate to GingerBreadLatinIME.zip and select it to install
7. After install completes, return to main menu and reboot phone
Tested and works great on my DX running 2.3.320 and Fission 2.3

Is this one any different from the updated release on droid-life?

the one on droid life was uber small.. any fix for that? also is there a single .zip with the dictionary and kb?

The one on Droid Life has been fixed. I am using mine on Fission 2.3 and all features work.

I'm sure I've missed the answer to this somewhere but, is this keyboard multi-touch?

There's one in rom manager under fabulous's rom section with a full dictionary and working auto-correction.

Okay since I'm still a newbie I have a question.
I'm on Rubix and didn't like that the motorola multi-touch keyboard wasn't on there.
Instead there's the Android keyboard. I installed the apk of the multi-touch from
punk.kaos here and I deleted the LatinIME from the system/lib folder to replace it with
the libnji that came with his apk zip.
Now I've gone through the bootstrap method as described in the OP but the GB
keyboard isn't installing and instead I'm getting the FC on the multi-touch. My question
is this, do I have to replace the libjni again with the one that comes in this zip?

Works well. Enjoying it..

The keyboard is multitouch. I'll edit this post once I've tried it ton rubix 1.9
edit: works just fine :]

Using the GB keyboard to type this. It seems a little small... installed the one in ROM manager.
Sent from my DROIDX

lets post screen shots

Mine is comming in really small. Changing the LCD density fixes it, but I really have no interest in doing that permanently. any fix?

Is there a difference in the one in rom manager and the one from droid-life? or are they the same

Tried both of them...one from rom manager and the one from post...both are tiny...but I can still type pretty well just slower. I feel like if this was the normal size it would be better than the stock moto one!

Tiny fix. Dl lcd density and select stock 240 then apply/reboot. Fixed! Well fixed till next time you reboot.

In your case you need to put LatinIME.apk back on you phone like it was before all the changes you mentioned above. Then you can install the Gingerbread Keyboard once that is done.
The reason for all your troubles is cause the Gingerbread Keyboard installs over and replaces both the Droid X Multi-touch Keyboard and if installed the 2.2 Android Keyboard. Hope this helps and post back with any questions.

Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and used the rom manager method and it worked fine.

Ewww.
This is really tiny with the LCD mod in place! I guess I have to go my backup now, or does anyone know how to uninstall this thing?

No go..
I get a constant force close. Didn't work for me.

Ya, i tried same. I pretty much already knew it wasnt going to work but gave it a shot as well. Just have to wait for someone to hack it up for our screen res and we should be good to go. I am just taking a shot in the dark and thinking that is the only reason why it wont work and could be wrong.
Mine installed just fine. I just cant get the keyboard to pull up

someone may port it...they're several pngs that have to be resized and edited etc porting any apk and or making a theme is a time intensive task so maybe if a themer or a dev feels like jumping on it...it may happen... if you want to tackle it yourself get you a trial copy of winRAR or another file reader and open a mdpi and the hdpi files and compare the res/drawables....thats a place to start I think.

It also has the resolution for each key specified in the decompiled .smali files inside classes.dex, so I think it's a big job to convert it. It's definitely beyond my ability. You'd need to use a tool like APK Manager 4.4 (search XDA for it) or manually decompile it with baksmali.
EDIT: I was wrong, the resolution in the .smali files is relative, so that's not stopping it from working.

Some Hero folks got it working as-is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710522#post6949662
It sounds like it only works with Vanilla-based ROMs since they have LatinIME in them (Android keyboard), and you have to push it to /system/app/LatinIME.apk (overwriting the Android keyboard) instead of installing it as a user app.

Most likely you can use Root Explorer or a similar app to move it into /system/app while the phone is on, then make sure you check its permissions (should be rw-r--r--), and then reboot for the change to take effect. Again, I haven't gotten this to work for me, but I'm on a Sense-based ROM. The successes reported were on Heros with their "darchdroid" ROM.
I have an idea for getting this to work with Sense, and I'm testing my theory right now. My theory is that we're missing its dependencies (in /system/lib), so I'm going to just flash the "Android Keyboard for Sense" from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5874235#post5874235
And then flash the new Droid X keyboard on top of that. Maybe that'll work.
UPDATE: YES! It works! Hang on, I'll post an update.zip to take care of installing it...

It should already work on Vanilla ROMs. Just install the APK on the first page of this thread. The pre-requisite is that you have to have the Android stock keyboard (com.google.inputmethod.latin) installed, which you do.
The tricky part is a Sense ROM, because it doesn't have the Android keyboard.
Attached is a flashable ZIP to install the Droid X Multi-Touch Keyboard onto a Sense-based ROM (or any ROM without the Android stock keyboard).

HTC_IME mod keyboard

Hey guys, I'm currently running CM6 rom and I tried to install the HTC_IME MOD keyboard with no luck. I was actually able to install it but when I select it as the input method the keyboard never appears on the screen. Has anyone gotten this to work on their Aria successfully? I tried it on both CM6 and Attn1 liberated rom. I installed swype and that works fine, but I really would prefer the HTC keyboard.

works great i dont seem to have the issue with a glitch on the speak now...but it does work great...also im running cm6 6.0.2 with dumfuq's oc kernel 825...wich is great btw
I got this to work...once. Not sure what I did right, but I'd like to do it again. I was running CM6.1 and tried it many times. I think the only time I got it to work may have been when I chose lo res. I shall reattempt after I resolve a few other issues. I will do my best to report back if there is success.
Use the Low Resolution. I used a PC for the download and extraction. All you need is the apk that comes from the extract. Send the apk to your phone using any means (e-mail, usb connect). Use a file explorer such as Astro to install the apk. After installing the apk, go to Menu>Settings>Language & keyboard and check next to HTC_IME. (Notice there is a settings link - quite good). Back out to the home screen and select an app that would need text input. Long press on the text field, then select Input method. Select HTC_IME mod.
If you use the gimpsta ( http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/) skinner, use the lowres. When you want to change skins, just do the same install you did earlier with one tricky exception. They are all labeled the same, no matter what you name each skin's apk. When you locate the new skin in your explorer and try to install the apk, it will not give you an install option, but an uninstall option. Go with the uninstall, then when you return to the file explorer, reattempt install. Follow through with the subsequent steps to activate the input method, just like your original install of this custom keyboard.
Hope this helps. I was almost obsessed with making this work, because I had seen it work once. Now we just wait for gimpsta to give us low res users more options like custom keys, symbols and spacebar inlays.
Yeah,
1. You have to enable it in the menu.
2. You do a long check on a type-box.
3. choose input method, and then you can use HTC_IME mod.
4.??
5. Profit!
I'm having trouble getting this to work. I tried both hi-res links and the 1.6 lo res. the hi-res had nothing show up when a keyboard was needed (the standard android keyboard disapeared and was not replaced). the lo-res force closed.
i wiped all data/caches before installing CM6.1
Does anybody know how to make HTC_IME to show the character "ñ" on the keyboard? Even though I only marked spanish as my language it just won't show. It should be next to the "L"
Try pressing and hold or slide up and should show it.

regular install won't work because of a library that google keyboards are depending on. The only way to get this to work is to copy it to your system/app folder. (Of course you need a full root to do that)

what (also) might work is
a) to install the froyo keyboard the usual way, and
b) to copy the library file libjni_latinime.so (a native c library file that will generate suggestions from a dictionary - faster than a java procedure) to the /system/lib dir. (Attached the library file to this post)
(The FC with the regular installation is caused by the fact that the keyboard can't load the library file. It looks for a native procedure but can't find it)
EDIT: if the attached library file doesn't work, you can also try the one that comes with the apk package (rename x.apk to x.zip and unzip it. In the lib directory you will find the library)

[APP] | UPDATED 12/13/10 | Gingerbread Themed DX KB for 2.1

Gingerbread Themed DROIDX Multi touch Keyboard for Eclair 2.1
There are two versions of this keyboard one with regular DROIDX sized keys and one with modified Gingerbread sized keys. I have only done a little work on the keyboard so far but it has the general look, style and feel of the Gingerbread keyboard that most people are looking for, and it is for 2.1!
How to Install:
Make sure that your system is deodexed.
Flash using clockwork recovery. Or if you have the DX Keyboard installed already you can just replace the apk in /system/app.
Supported Device List
* Warning * This is not a guarantee that this keyboard will work for your device and am I in no way responsible for anything happening to your phone. By flashing these files you agree to take all responsibility. This is a list of phones that I have either tested the keyboard on or someone else has reported it as working.
Samsung Fascinate
X10
This should be fixed now with the updated clockwork file, thanks to imnuts.
If you end up getting FC errors delete LatinIME.apk and LatinIMEtutorial.apk in system/app.
Also try deleting cache/dalvik
Change Log
1.2:
- Redid naming convention for the zip files.
- Updated the clockwork files to delete latinime.apk thanks to imnuts.
- Added a screenshot of the smaller keys, Screenshot #2 and #6 (the keys are not any different in landscape).
1.1:
- Created a second version to mimic the actual size and spacing of the real Gingerbread KB
- Fixed a "&" fix that I had missed
1.0:
- Completely redid using new images and text colors from GB KB.
- Fixed the "&" sign from not displaying properly

I would like this also. I found a thread for the Galaxy Nexus where someone was able to port several TW apps to work with AOSP but when I install them they are not formatted for our resolution. Maybe someone will be able to port those from
this thread.

Stock ICS clock is bad, no Stop Watch
There is a stopwatch, but it is pretty poor compared to the Samsung one.
Inside the clock app, where you set the alarm, there is a sort of a title/tab on top-left that says "Alarms". If you click that, you'll be able to go to a stopwatch. Alternatively, you can go there through the menu button. I am on Doc's V4 and haven't tried other ICS roms, so YMMV.
What I don't like about that stopwatch is two things: It does not use a fixed width font, so the numbers keep "shaking". And it does not keep the phone from going to sleep, which pretty much makes it unusable to me.
So, a big +1 to the OP request.
TW clock is ready
Search for Nexus TW Clock ICS. The only problem I have with it - font and buttons are too big. SOmewhere there is a scale - lcd density or something which is wrong.
There is one for Epic 4G - with perfect size and it does everything - World time, timer, stopwatch, but not alarm! Alarm FC'es.
WTF!

I tried combining these two from Epic and Nexus using apktool and baksmali. The code is almost identical - only one class differs and it's Alarm related. The resources are vastly different in picture sizes and xml's with "dip" in Epic vs "pix" in Nexus. So anyway - I copied Nexus class to Epic, and copied Epic resources to Nexus. None of these two after smaling and apktool build (without errors) got recognised in Launcher - no icons in app drawer, no .odex file in dalvik.
Any experts to solve the mystery?
Mystery is solved
New release is coming... Check out my ROM within couple of hours.
Just copied classes.dex from Nexus ICS clock to Epic 4G clock. And optimized it as usual.
I am patiently waiting for that update, but in the meantime just wanted to say "thank you" for the pointer to the epic clock.

The wait is over
Try the ROM or rip the Clockpackage.apk from .zip.
I'm fine either way.
I'm checking Holo Calendar now. First try was disastrous - I had to wipe the data to restore calendar sync.

I pulled the clockpackage.apk from your rom. I copied to the system/app and rebooted. It didn't show up in my app drawer. So I rebooted into recovery and wiped cach partition, dalvik and fixed permissions. It still isn't showing up in my app drawer. Do you have any other suggestions? I'm running ICSSGS latest version.
Edit: Never mind. When I went into All Applications it was disabled. When I enabled it, it is working now.
Smart Alarm Problem
Thank you so much for updating the clock in Nostalgia!
I can't get the smart alarm function to work, though. No matter which smart alarm tone I choose, the "Good Morning" alarm sound plays. Am I missing something, or is there a glitch in the apk?
Thank you!
I installed the app for now, and it works great.
I am thinking about trying out your ROM, though, once 5.3 is out.

I am having the same issue as you were. I followed steps you mention (I copied to the system/app, rebooted into recovery and wiped cache partition, dalvik and fixed permissions).
When I go to settings/apps/all I do not see it there and so I can't enable it as you did. Am I missing something? What is the app named (maybe I missed it)?
I double checked the system/app folder and it is there.
I am running a Boogs latest CM9 Kang (clean) with Launcher Pro (free version).
Anyone have any suggestions?
TIA

Thank you again.
I flashed it, and I like it, other than a couple of small problems that I can live with.
The Samsung Clock works great, and that makes me happy.

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like in the app list. Did you scroll all the way to the right and select all apps? Mine was at the bottom.

I had a similar problem until I found another thread with a solution. The solution was to add clockpackage.odex to system/app. I can't upload odex files, so it is attached in a .zip.
When you copy apk to /system/app - your permission on apk file get screwed up. Nice touch from FileManager writers. So you gotta fix them from the same Root Explorer or Browser to be 644 - read/write by owner, read by group, read by other.
