This port has had this problem since the beginning on lower resolution devices. Another port 'ICS Keyboard' by vllwp has more features & uses less memory, and it works on low res devices:

Much better keyboard and its free with themes. Thanks for the post.

Just installed this on my HTC Hero, and it also cuts off the keyboard. Drats.
[Android Apps and Games] deofavente:
Thanks. I will try this.
[Android Apps and Games] NoOneCanHelpMe:
it uses internet permission... I would not recommend installing this! anything u type could end up on that guy's server!
[Android Apps and Games] DarkhShadow:
That app cuts off more of the keyboard than this one........

still no update for mdpi/ldpi devices :(
[Android Apps and Games] f_cava:
Same on Samsung Galaxy Ace

Edit:just with old version. new one seems to work correctly
[Android Apps and Games] Whyzor:
Still broken on LG Optimus V (MDPI device).
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
For what it's worth, if you read the thread for that app, the dev responded with:
[Android Apps and Games] kloopk:
nice and big on my touch pad tablet, doesn't quite scale pop up letters right but looks good.
[Android Apps and Games] androidrockz:
Thanks a million, this ICS Keyboard is just so friggin hot and sleek.
[Android Apps and Games] WillKennerley:
Thanks for the fantastic keyboard port!

Here's a bug if you don't know it yet. On QVGA devices (e.g. HTC Wildfire ¬¬) only half the keyboard if displayed on screen. It's the correct width but not the correct height.

Thanks again, it's really smooth.
[Android Apps and Games] stempek:
Is there any guide how to add your own dictionary? I'd be really happy if there would be version with polish dictionary, but if there's no any of those, I can try to make my own polish dictionary file. I decompiled it but sadly there were no main.dict files but main.mp3 files - i'm not sure what can i do with this.
[Android Apps and Games] ryanpl:
Wow, this is the only keyboard so far that allows spell check and word prediction on a rooted Nook Touch. If it would be possible could you add direction keys on the next version? Thanks a million.
[Android Apps and Games] :
If this is done, please leave it as an option. I hate those on keyboards.

Side note: I think op is just polishing the port and not modifying it.

Does anyone know what the real RAM usage for this keyboard is?

Under running services it says 24MB but when I go into it, the keyboard (inputmethod.latin.ported) is only 8mb and then it says "main process that is in use" it has Android Core Apps(android.process.acore) listed as 17mb (and sometimes 5mb)

Is the keyboard really using 24MB or just 8mb?
[Android Apps and Games] DaXmax:
I think u got the wrong keyboard...
[Android Apps and Games] djkaoz:
Shows just a blank screen.. From mytouch 4g
[Android Apps and Games] dpaine88:
Well I'm talking about the RAM the keyboard itself uses while running, not the internal storage of the app itself.

Its found under "running apps"
[Android Apps and Games] Whyzor:
I was curious about that too, I think the clue is under Android Core Apps 9.4 MB, "Provider UserdictionaryProvider is in use" suggests that the dictionary takes up 9.4 MB, the process uses the rest.
[Android Apps and Games] dpaine88:
Oh yea, I didnt notice that underneath about the dictionary, good call.

I downloaded the other ICS keyboard linked in the thread and it does not use the Android Core Apps, just the keyboard service is running.
[Android Apps and Games] eldis:
Dictionary format

Hi,

I've been trying to get Finnish dictionary to work in this keyboard with no luck so far. Available dictionaries in this keyboard have .mp3 file extension.

I've tried copying the working Finnish dictionary from Gingerbread keyboard to raw-fi folder and changing the .dict to .mp3 and compiling the keyboard. Then it shows 'Dictionary available' for Finnish but it doesn't give any predictions except names from address book. I then tried to just copy the main.mp3 from raw-en folder to raw-fi and the keyboard gave English predictions with Finnish input.

So, I think that the dictionary format is somewhat different in the ICS keyboard compared to GB keyboard. Still, the LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk found in the Galaxy Nexus dump directs to http://www.gstatic.com/android/keyboard/dictionarypack/metadata.json for additional dictionaries and dictionary updates. And the files in the website are with .dict file extension.

If anyone finds a way to add dictionaries to ICS keyboard or to convert GB dict to ICS mp3, please tell.
[Android Apps and Games] Whyzor:
The latest version 1.0.6 is a little better on my Optimus V, but the bottom row is still small, esp since touchscreen edges are less sensitive.

Compared to Binary Bulge's ICS keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] dimako83:
After the latest update the letters bacame just too huge on my Atrix. Is there any possibility the change this?

And another question? is there a chance that you could allow to change languages by sliding on the space button like it was in gingerbread keyboard?

Thank You.
[Android Apps and Games] Mylenthes:
The keyboard got big and ugly with the latest update. Switch it back to how it was before.

-------------------------------------------

If there is one thing I hate. It's having ADD.
[Android Apps and Games] for.digit:
Dict and mp3 is just an extension. The problem is that the format of the dictionary was changed from 2.3.

There are tools that extract the list from gb dictionaries.

You can extract the list and rebuild a dictionary for ics using Google tool makedict.

This will give you a dictionary without bigram suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] woooeric:
Just installed on my infuse running miui. Works perfectly! Plus now I don't hit the damn period key after every word instead of the space bar.
[Android Apps and Games] androidrockz:
The buttons are very small, and half the bottom space bar still is cut off.
[Android Apps and Games] DaXmax:
well i cant compare as im using ics now...
[Android Apps and Games] Goosteady:
Awesome keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] for.digit:
This apk should fix the last row.

Please update and Screenshots will be great.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Whyzor:
Here's what the latest 1.0.8 looks like on the OV, compared to Binary Bulge's ICS keyboard again. Seems to be taking a bit more space than necessary.
[Android Apps and Games] Moh_Jay:
Could anyone post version 1.0.7 I like the bigger keyboard

My life is cool...

Works brilliant, that's definitely a Keyboard! Almost perfect accuracy
[Android Apps and Games] markjo:
Been using this since it first came out and it works so well. Glad the fix for capitalization of "I" came out fast. Suggestions and corrections are amazing. I only just noticed the bug where suggestions disappeared after hitting the microphone button and the fix came out this morning :)
[Android Apps and Games] Sn-leboss:
Thanks i use this now !
[Android Apps and Games] DarkhShadow:
Thanks it works now!

Only thing I will say is its a bit laggy but that's my phone :/

Here's a screenshot :)
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Does anybody already found a way to install different dictionary than the few included? I want this keyboard but without Czech dictionary its useless...
[Android Apps and Games] ijustzeke:
great update.

but I too get the smiley instead of the enter/next key when i use it in other apps.

Edit : fixed
[Android Apps and Games] jackattack:
Nice keyboard. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mrahmanda:
thanks :D

i will try on it !
[Android Apps and Games] batibot:
thanks. :D works fine upon touching each button. don't find any bugs. i will try it for few hours to see some errors or bugs. :p
[Android Apps and Games] ner.wal:
Really the only thing I miss from the GB keyboard is that it corrected "il" to "I'll" and "wel" to "we'll". I didn't realize how much I used that until it was gone.

Any chance of adding that functionality? (Not sure if it's there on actual ICS phones, but if not, it should be!)

EDIT: Just for kicks, I tried adding "I'll", "you'll" and "we'll" to the user dictionary, and it now corrects the way I want it to!

Best keyboard ever. Maybe I'll buy the donate version... :)
[Android Apps and Games] budabob07:
Works great except for the 'tap to re-correct'(where he selects a word, taps "replace" and then chooses from a list) thing that was showcased in the ICS keyboard video. I don't know if this is a feature that is bugged or if it just isn't implemented. Otherwise great keyboard
[Android Apps and Games] for.digit:
You need ICS to get this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] vernon092487:
i'll try this later! :)
[Android Apps and Games] budabob07:
Well I guess I'll have to wait for CM9 to come out for the Inspire
[Android Apps and Games] iahk:
Anyone with the paid version able to give me a heads up on what gestures are supported? I'm curious if it has swipe to delete word function.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Yes, it has a swipe to delete word function. HOWEVER I set it to swipe left, and doing so requires swiping your finger across more than 50% of the keyboard (in my testing swiping right to left, minimum distance is L to F). IMO this is ridiculously long and more often than not I end up swiping and adding nonsense letters rather than deleting the previous word. A gesture sensitivity option is really needed here.
[Android Apps and Games] iahk:
Thanks for the reply! Looks like I'll be dropping some money on this soon then. Hopefully the developer will add a setting like you mentioned. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with it so far.
[Android Apps and Games] zidane:
is anyone able to change the keyboard sound volume??

i have the full version and i can only change vibration intensity...

the stock ICS keyboard can change both vibration intensity and volume.
[Android Apps and Games] SamJohnson:
Cool. Keyboard is a very good feature on ICS, one I missed when I went back to a ROM with a camera on my Desire S.
[Android Apps and Games] cms5423:
If the link I found while searching through google for a mirror download (since the OP market link is down) is the same as the OP, I am pretty sure it's an actual port of ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] DaXmax:
This is just another themed keyboard... No one managed to get the ICS Keyboard ported... If its real, where is the theming support?
[Android Apps and Games] cms5423:
Maybe theming support was removed because it wouldn't work on non-ICS devices? The rest of the settings menu matches correctly
[Android Apps and Games] DaXmax:
Hmm, i havent tried it yet, to confirm it, can anyone share their apk? Letme check the AndroidManifest.xml
[Android Apps and Games] cms5423:
http://jumbofiles.com/fxxkd89o75xd

That is the link I used because the screenshot is the same as the one in the OP

(Note: I don't think this is a paid app so I hope it's ok that I posted this link)
[Android Apps and Games] for.digit:
It is the real one. Not a themed one.
[Android Apps and Games] DaXmax:
Im getting errors downloading... (Expired Session)

Will see...
[Android Apps and Games] cms5423:
That's what I thought.

PS. for.digit, can you update the link in the OP, the market link does not work. Could you reupload to the market or post the apk as an attachment?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] DaXmax:
+1, since he said that is kinda real, so i wanna know to...
[Android Apps and Games] Lancerz:
This is the real deal, thx for.digit!

[Android Apps and Games] NeroDan:
Autocap isn't working for me...:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] cms5423:
To turn on CAPS lock, you have to hold down the caps lock button for a second or two (unlike gingerbread where you double tapped the button to activate caps lock)

[Android Apps and Games] DaXmax:
My camera still working... What is ur ROM??
[Android Apps and Games] NeroDan:
My camera works fine as well, try doing "Fix Permissions" after installation.
[Android Apps and Games] donsh00tmesanta:
oxygen 2.3.2

fix permissions in cwm right?
[Android Apps and Games] NeroDan:
Yes...or you could do it in ROM Manager. Probably a better idea to do it in CWM recovery though.
[Android Apps and Games] donsh00tmesanta:
hmm still froze and the image isnt saved :(

Im running on Oxygen too... Hmm, have u tried reinstalling the keyboard?? Or push into system/app??

The typing experience with this is great, i love the new word correct bar setup and the auto correct has been greatly improved, now it can tell when I miss the space bar and hit a key instead and it fixes it.

[Android Apps and Games] DaXmax:
Failblog? Just kidding...

@ for.digit, ok this i stuff to improve and look like REAL ics keyboard and what is suppose to fix...

+Add Swiftkey like prediction or Blindtype

+Add more promising themes

-Fix this problem, when u press caps lock (locked) and return to normal, the fonts are still at CAPS and few letters mixed up...

-Edit the Settings icon to look stock ICS...

+Add keyboard height as some of them preferred big...

I kept getting freezes then FC's, especially in my messaging app on my Sprint Galaxy S2. Also voice input doesn't work. I'll pm you a logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] lemonoid:
Did you change the font on it? I'm pretty sure the ROM I'm running on my NS4G was built straight from sourcE but there are minor differences in this keyboard and that one.
[Android Apps and Games] for.digit:
No. I didn't change the fonts.
[Android Apps and Games] Whyzor:
I have a 320x480 screen, the whole keyboard is shifted down below the screen by half a row of keys (so bottom space bar row is only showing top half). In landscape mode it seems ok, just affects portrait mode. Maybe it affects only MDPI devices?
[Android Apps and Games] mliou:
Don't know if it's just me or what but if I move my cursor back to the end of the previous word, is there suppose to be a menu showing me the alternative word for it? Or do I have to delete the whole word and then retype it? Thanks.

This keyboard gave me a bunch of FC's when I pushed it to the system as LatinIME.apk and changed permissions to rw-r--r-- then rebooted. I had to change keyboard then installed from system and it asked if I wanted to replace app and now it works fine, occasionally it will FC but for the most part it's the best keyboard I've used so far.

http://briefmobile.com/android-4-0-keyboard-ported-to-android-2-2

If you can't get the keyboard to work straight from a Market download, try out the "rooted" process above.

Let me know if it works for those of you who were previously unable to get it working. Essentially, you have to: delete the previous Android keyboard's .apk and .so lib files; extract the .so lib file to /system/lib; place the .apk in /system/app; correct the permissions.
