[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tr.slate:
After seeing the sweet sweet multi-touch I went looking and found the droid x dump over on android central. Only issue is droid x dump is 2.1 and i just updated to 2.2 frf83. Can anyone repack or resign or do whatever magic needs to be done to get this out to work with froyo?

Its the LatinIME.apk in the app folder.;)

[UPDATE 7-10]-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately Daneshm90 isnt able to work on the Froyo port of this keyboard. If anyone is interested in helping bring this to Froyo, it would be much appreciated, and im sure you'd prob grab a few bucks in donations too.

To make the thread easier to navigate I will be posting all new info on the keyboard here as it is posted throughout the thread. AND REMEMBER ALL GLORY GOES TO DANESHM90, THE ACTUAL DEV DOING THE WORK. THANKS DANESHM90!

DESCRIPTION:

The Droid X Keyboard features full multi-touch. This is different from the multi-touch currently enabled on 3rd party keyboards-the Droid X has the capability to hold down shift and press a letter to make a capital, ie it can do more than one key stoke at once like a physical keyboard. Pretty nice.

LINKS:

2.1 Eclair-based Roms:

only thing not working is auto-captilization,auto-correct errors. Dictionary works, NOW WITH VIBRATE!! Doesnt seem to work on HTC Hero GSM or CDMA...

FUTURE FIXES:

• Froyo or Bust

INSTALLATION:

To install this app, you will need a file manager of your choice. Find the apk on your sd card with your file manager and install it. From there go to your system settings-->language and keyboard--> and make sure Multi-Touch Keyboard is checked. Go back to your home screen and find a text field. Long Press and hold until the pop-up menu appears, and select "input method". Choose Multi-touch keyboard. Thats it! To disable simply long press again, select input method and choose a different keyboard. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle ;)

================****UPDATE 8/13/10****

Ok all you multi-touch fanatics...invisiblek over on the incredible forum has ported this to work on a variety of roms, including CM6. Find instructions and DL the files here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753156

If you dont know ADB well, as I dont, you will be able to install this through Root Explorer, the excellent root only file manager. Basically to do this just DL the files, copy them to the appropriate places (LatinIME.apk goes in system/app, libjni_latinime.so goes in system/lib). Be careful as the .so file sometimes DL's as a .txt file, and needs to have both the extension and file name renamed to be correct before installing. It is also a great idea to rename your original LatinIME.apk to something like LatinIME.apk.bak, as well as the lib file, in case anything F's up. As a matter of fact it may even be a good idea to do a Nandroid BU, because you never know what might happen, and its prob been a while hasnt it;)...

Ok, so you copied them in the right places, now press and try to install your new LatinIME.apk. The first few times I tried to install this, it didnt work. However after remounting my /system as Read Only inside Root Explorer the install worked.

Thanks Invisiblek! Send this guy some donations if you can, we've been waiting for a long time on this one.:D
