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

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
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.

Did you copy the .apk into apps and install it? Try uninstalling and reinstalling it afterward, then selecting it from NookTools.
U have to use nookcolor tools
Nook Color via Xda App
I had a similar problem and found out that the keyboard apk file has to be in the system/apps folder but usually gets installed into data/apps.
If that's the problem, you can move it with adb or buy Root Explorer which makes it much easier.
Mobileread forum for the color nook (developer's corner) has a thread entitled
"How to get Gingerbread keyboard?"
I can't post the link directly because I'm new to this forum.
Thanks guys, I'll try that!

I have gotten all the custom keyboards I tried, working perfectly. Presently using SwiftKey. You just need to move the apk file to system/apps, set the permissions similar to other apks in the folder and then install that apk from there. After that you need to reboot, otherwise the keyboard won't show up on Nook Color Tools. After booting, open NC Tools and change the keyboard.

were you able to get the word suggestion to work with swiftkey? I installed and chose it as my keyboard in nookcolor tools, but the word suggestion doesn't work.
So I somewhat got Wiiremote support on the Vivid. I extracted the Bluetooth.apk from a Cyanogenmod rom.
1.) you need to have a odexed rom (I used rumraider b3)
2.) install the attached file by putting it in /System/app (i put it on my sd card and used root explorer)
3.) install Bluez IME and the HID addon (google it )
4.) follow the IME's instuctions and select Wiimote (HID) for the device.
known problems:
lights continue to blink, it's connected and won't turn off but the lights blink instead of show the 1
use at your own risk, this worked for me, no one else has tested it. Let me know how it works for you
Sry if this is off topic ,will this work for ps3axis controller

i'm not sure you can try? i don't see why it wouldn't.
The HTC Sense bluetooth apk is the "roadblock" for pairing the remotes. swapping it out should solve problems for all the pairing problems.
You know, I never would have thought of trying this on my own. I've got a bluetooth device that won't sync properly with anything stock on the vivid but I had GB ROM that I think used the telstra bluetooth stack that worked perfectly. Since going to ICS it had stopped working again but after reading this post I decided to pull the Bluetooth.apk off that old ROM and it works perfectly again.
Thanks for the tip.
Is this possible on the new stock ATT ICS rom? How can I backup or get the original installer for bluetooth on this rom? Thank you.

You can use a file browsing app like Root Explorer.
The Bluetooth.apk will be in system/apps. Mount system to R/W
move the original file to your sdcard somewhere.
And take the one posted in op's post up above.
And paste and install it in system/apps.
You need root permissions to do this though. Good luck.

It looked like I was able to just open the apk file posted and install it. Do you think this is possible? I didn't want to screw up my phone if I didn't have the original to replace it. Thanks.

it has to be put in the system apps folder because that's where the phone looks for the bluetooth support. also it needs some elevated permissions and isn't made to comply with superuser.
you can make a backup just in case
Had it sync fine the first time I tried it, and then my dad called and my screen off profile was too low so my phone restarted lol. Now I can't get it to sync again! When I Activate Bluetooth with Bluez IME selected I get a "pairing request," and if I choose it from the notification menu it says to enter a PIN on the phone and device (which I can't because you can't enter a PIN on the wiimote, plus the IME isn't touch input anymore).
My steps:
Activate Bluetooth
Scan for devices - Nintendo RVL-CNT-01
Select Device Driver - Wiimote (HID)
Select IME - Bluez IME
Anddd the wiimote just times out. Any insight?
try uninstalling the apk that you installed via installer (not dropping in system/app) if you haven't already
then maybe try reinstalling bluez IME?
i wish i could be more help!
Keep getting a "Disconnected: Software Interference" Are there limitations on a per-app basis as far as functionality is concerned?
Hi,
When using non-Sony ROMs I've been flashing the Sony Xperia keyboard. If you find texting difficult on smartphone keyboards, try this. It's my favourite keyboard.
Question: (and discussion) Has anyone tried this on stock RAZR i? I haven't rooted yet and wondered does it work OK. This one needs to be flashed in a recovery, then you select the Xperia keyboard in settings/message.
Note: this is not my work, thanks to the original creator kristiancarl

It does not work
I tried it also with copying the files into the system but it force closes every time.
The error status i get flashing in recovery is: 255
dont know what this means.
This is a shame, the ICS version seemed to work on any ROM without any problem.
The OP of the thread has these instructions:
1. Decompress the zip file.
2. Ignore the META-INF folder
3. In the app folder, you'll find textinput-chn.apk (Mandarin Chinese keyboard) and textinput-tng.apk (English keyboard).
4. You can move one or both into /system/app folder with ES File Manager/root explorer/etc. (or adb)
5. Move lib/libXT9Engine into /system/lib
6. Move usr/xt9 into /system/usr
7. Reboot. If you still don't see the keyboard in your settings, install the apk with your file manager which should work with the libraries installed.
Basically, you move the few files yourself with correct permissions.
I won't ask anyone to go to that trouble, flash was enough. :fingers-crossed: If you really like the Xperia keyboard I understand. I will definitely try the above myself too.

yeah I tried this methode with changing permissions.
Now I will try the ICS version, im on JB
And I love the xperia Keyboard its amazing, its the best I know, better than swiftkey
////EDIT:
It does not worl Please let me know if you can get it working!
A temporary keyboard similar to the Sony one is Smart Keyboard Pro. There is a portrait T9 keyboard in there too if you use that.
I have tried many versions of the Sony keyboard which have been ported for any ROM, but they all force close after installation.
Anyone manage to get this to work?
Its the best keyboard i've used. Hope someone can figure out how to make it work.
