That's actually my favorite step.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xak944:
Thanks for the update. However, I'm getting this with RA-evo-v1.7.0.1:

Install : droid2keyboard-signed-flash-ampfix3.zip ?
Press Power to confirm,
any other key to abort

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
That's because it's not flashable. It's just a zip file.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Unknownforce:
The first post is just the apk file, it's not even a zip file.

The file I posted at the bottom of page one is flashable.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
Try the one I attached.

And call me crazy or weird...but I'm doing A LOT worse with this keyboard than I've been doing with the stock HTC Multitouch keyboard. That one I'm flying with. This one, not so much. But I do like the looks of it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saguratus:
You need clockwork, it's not signed.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xak944:
I agree with you, you considering it wouldn't flash! Kinda weird though, considering the filename is droid2keyboard-signed-flash-ampfix3.zip...

Take a look, the OP was edited and now contains a single, flashable, .zip file (droid2keyboard-signed-flash-ampfix3.zip).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saguratus:
ampfix2 was signed, ampfix3 was a quick patch and wasn't resigned afaik.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xak944:
Got it installed by manually extracting and pushing /system/app/d2keyboard-signed-ampfix3.apk and /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so.

Very glad to have my favorite keyboard back! Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Unknownforce:
I just noticed that. I updated my post on the bottom of page one with that fix and it's signed. Same instructions as before, Flash, Activate, Beer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KLLSWITCH:
does it vibrate for anyone else it doesn't on mine?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gunitsolja625:
It says it will replace another application then status installing and says application not installed am I doing something wrong?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
You have to enable that setting.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KLLSWITCH:
i know im not a noob lol i did enable it and it doesn't vibrate that's why i asked.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] apexi350z:
I had to use this one, signed, to flash for Fresh rom. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marctronixx:
+1

does not vibrate for me. stock unrooted froyo'ed evo...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pwnst*r:
I get this as well. 2.2 unrooted.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AHWagner:
I can't get auto-correct to work with this keyboard, any help?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saguratus:
Make sure you flash with rommanager, don't install the apk.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marctronixx:
so those who are NOT rooted will NOT get auto correct to work properly?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] snapcallem:
i think its vibrating but you can barely feel it ... at least on mine it is i thought it wasnt working but then barely noticed it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AHWagner:
I'm not rooted and don't plan on rooting.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marctronixx:
copy that... after i played around a little more i was able to feel/hear the motor... thank you...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slylust:
I have not been able to get it to work without root by just installing the apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KLLSWITCH:
is there a way to change the value of the vibration at all?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pwnst*r:
Fixed - had to transfer the .apk to my SD card and install from there. Did not work installing from gmail or anywhere else.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] captivate:
thanks works great!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jumpman6235:
Thanks for that zip but 2 issues in this.

1. The clicking sound is extremely low when compared to stock keyboard

2. The symbol bug is still there...

for example When u type "it will cost $20" it comes out "it will cost$ 20" the symbol sticks to the previous word
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
So which one is the apk that will install? Meaning, which one will I be able to put on my memory card then install?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
I also think I figured out how to make it vibrate stronger. Going to test it when I go through more xml documents
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] krazyflipj:
Is this keyboard supposed to completely replace stock?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Update flash is not working for me neither is adb push. I am getting upset, because....... I think I changed what is needed to make it vibrate harder, and wanna release some themes for it. Anyone know of an apk for this that will install straight off of sd card?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
here you go, extracted it from the zip. And it installs from the sd card, tried it on my Evo and I went and tried it on my sister's Evo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Shawnz:
Works great!

Thanks - works great on my two non-rooted Evos.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
can anyone point me in the direction to make a flashable zip?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sporkman:
just take the .zip of the download and its an apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
No, I want to make a flashable zip. Only that method worked for me on cm6 nightly build. I had to go into recovery and remove latinime then flash the zip to work. So I need to learn how to make a flashable zip, so I can test out a "theme" I made for it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
you should be able to unpack the original flashable .zip, place your themed app in the app>system folder and rezip them.

I use this method to remove/add apps in custom roms before I flash them
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Hmmmmm didn't think to do that. I just turned off my pc too. Will try that in the morning. Still would like to learn how to make a flashable zip
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sshark:
You da ****in man. I was absolutely sick of using smart keyboard or better keyboard.

HTC touch keyboard is pretty much useless if you don't type in English often but still need text prediction turned on...

This one is easy on hands and does far better job in accepting inputs.

Thanks buddy!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SpamHammer:
It vibrates for me, but it's very subtle. I noticed that I didn't feel it at first because I was looking for the strong vibration of the regular keyboard.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SpamHammer:
While that is a great keyboard, this thread is specifically for Evos running 2.2, which will not work with that one. I had that one on my Evo ver. 2.1, and i loved it. When I upgraded to 2.2 and it kept crashing, I was devestated to have to go back to the stock keyboard. :(

However, the keyboard posted in this thread has fixed the issues and runs fine on my un-rooted Evo w/ 2.2.

Thanks to the OP! I love this keyboard! You're the f'ing man, man!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] utee05:
Thanks OP for posting this. I really enjoyed using this keyboard on 2.1 and have been hoping that someone would port it to froyo. Now I can get back to typing better. Also thanks to those who created the apk for unrooted EVOs. I'm using this on an unrooted stock froyo evo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slylust:
am i the only non rooted evo user who cant get it to work?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bharris25:
Yes you are... the one on the bottome of this page worked for me http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753343&page=3 :D Don't forget to go to go to language and keyboard and enable the multi touch keyboard. Then it will show up when you long press in a text field.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bharris25:
Ditto on that for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] utee05:
When using this keyboard in the text window I don't see the '. ,' button. Instead I only see the '.' In the earlier version of this keyboard for 2.1 you could hit the '.' and you would get a comma. Am I the only one who has this issue? I would prefer to double tap the '.' and get a ',' instead of having to long press the '.' button.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Wish it had stronger vibration as that subtle vibration has no use. On 2.1 I found a version here somewhere that had normal vibration so hopefully we'll get that sometime. I don't know what makes this keyboard so good but I can type fast as hell in portrait with no mistakes. I hate soft keyboards so I'm amazed at how good this one is. I'll always miss hardware keyboards for the most speed and accuracy(and you don't have to look at it to type)..but this is pretty good. The HTC keyboards are worthless. I do like Swype because I can do it one handed but it's lack of accuracy somtimes gets frustrating, always having to go back and fix words or send a message only to see some bad typos that I have to clarify.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
here everyone that can just install it try this one out. I changed the value of the vibration and it is my black red version. Just test to see if it vibrates stronger and if it has any issues. Meaning the &amp issue, and hitting symbols, then alt, then see if it shows a & key or a < key.

I don't know what I am doing wrong to make a flashable zip, but I am working on it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] utee05:
Can someone edit this keyboard to allow for the period button when double pressed to place a comma? The version for 2.1 had this feature. I only see this when using in the text window since the speech option takes up a key on the other side of the keyboard.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
Um...the one I posted was from this thread...the 2.2 version..not 2.1. :confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
9 views of the file I posted...... any feed back on vibration and any issues? :confused:

EDIT: nevermind I got a flashable zip working for me, MINE VIBRATES STRONGER. So, I will remake the original and make the fixes in it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KLLSWITCH:
confirmed it does vibrate more now thanks man also can you attach the regular color scheme by chance?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
just dl'ed it, works great! Vibration is much better.

I know it's just a test, but is it possible to have this color scheme like the original blackred? The background was white, keys were black, letters were white and the keypresses were red. In this new version the letters are red instead of white.

Great work!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
The keyboard works fine, haven't noticed anything except the ., issue previously mentioned (where the . key could be double-tapped to give a , in the 2.1 keyboards) Vibration is noticeable to me. I am patiently awaiting the blackmtb version, and I am sure others are awaiting your conversion of all your other color schemes.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Yeah it was just to see if I had the hex code down for changing the colors of the letters lol. I am going to make them soon and that one will be first since you helped me out a bit last night. Also got flashable zip working. I wanna do some more testing before I release custom ones..... If you notice in the suggestion strip, when you select a word there is a blue select item. I don't like it

BUT, HERE IS THE ORIGINAL FROM THIS POST..... WITH ALL FIXES. Including better vibration, fixed & key, and fixed < key
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Here is a screen shot of the above posted keyboard mod kb2.2-signed.zip:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
If someone creates one with blue highlights I sure wouldn't mind at all. :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Don't worry I will get the ball rolling, just want to test out crap before posting actual modded ones.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
The previous flashable zip in this thread wouldn't let me get past the splash screen..If I just pull the apk from this will it install that way?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Black keys with blue highlight would be hawt. Or heck blue keys just to have something totally different. I'm blue crazy what can I say?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
That's what I did because the flashable installs the keyboard into /system/app and I prefer to install myself which puts it into /data/app.

Just a suggestion enragedpaza, but maybe you should do your own thread with all your new 2.2 kb mods like you have for the 2.1 kb mods
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] silencer1515:
nvm got it :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bmtdan:
enragedpaza my hero lol got it to install just fine thru astro by extracting the apk from your zip :) cant wait for your mods specifically the black and green one :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] utee05:
Can I just d/l this and rename the file form .zip to .apk and install it? Also it is possible for you to fix the ., so that you can double-tap the period button to get a comma? Other than that this keyboard is awesome and thanks for all of your work on this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Yeah I made it a flashable zip for me and just uploaded it for everyone else. I couldn't get it to work with out flashing them
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
I'll look into this. Wasn't that how it was on the 2.1 versions? Can anyone chime in on that
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Yes in 2.1 version you hit . twice and got a ,

But in this version you hit . twice and you get ..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
I will look at a 2.1 keyboard and compare it to a 2.2 keyboard.....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fastamx79:
That sounds like it would look nice
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marc.ientilucci:
can't wait! gotta get that green button skin back!! and yes i can also confirm that the double "." use to bring up a ","... looks like instead they give punctuation options where the spell-correct would be. i like double tapping tho, much faster
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bmtdan:
it would also be cool to have the smiley face button on there as well. my girlfriends droid x has it but in all the ports ive seen it always has the keyboard that would show up in places like the market and not in the messaging section.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
smiley button is there in messaging
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Yeah, I like blue alot and have been thinking about a theme I wanna make. So a blue type of keyboard will be done eventually. But, right now, I'm trying to see if I can fix the "." key to allow a comma when double tap. Also trying to delete something from the suggestion box

I have the smiley button when typing a message. Do you not have it showing up?

I forgot to quote the message about "making my own 2.2 thread." I will, jst figured I would make the fixes that people wanted for the original here..... like fix vibration, fix symbol/alt < key. Figured this post would still get views, so thought it would be good to post it here.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
I must be blind or don't know where the smiley button is, I can't find it. Look at my screen shot back in post #83. It would be cool is somehow there was a smiley button between the microphone button and the space bar. Like make the ?123 button the same size as the arrow for caps button above it and make the microphone button the same size as a letter key. Don't know if that kind of crazy mod'ing can be done though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Maybe you are doing it while selecting someone to send it to?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Here's the two screen shots, 1st while entering who to send to, second while typing the message:

I don't get the smileys button, I get a return key with a big arrow.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Go through your settings for it and tell me what all is checked.... maybe that is changing it? That is strange :confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Just a quick update..... I'm going through both 2.2 version and 2.1 verion... to see what is different in the 2. Alot is added to this version, like voice search extra symbol xml, a transparent button ( don't know what it controls), amongst other things. I'm doing some testing on what controls what, then when I get some things changed, especially the "." to comma thing. I will release themed versions
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
NO your not blind bc I just installed it as well and I don't see no smiley button!! Rather odd if you ask me!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
are you guys using the modded stock looking one that paza posted or the one from the first page??
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Look at my screen shots, notice the RED h ? It's enragedpaza's
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
No, actually I installed the one from post 1
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
Gee sorry, I hadn't tried that one so I wouldn't know what it looked like specifically, just trying to make sure all your bases were checked since the smilies work on paza's and mine(using the blackred one.)

edit: just tried paza's stock keyboard mod on my sister's Evo and it has the smiley key

Try the ones that paza has posted on the last couple of pages and see if they have the smiley button
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Man that is weird as hell. Maybe there's just some setting I'm missing to enable that.

The arrow changes to "Go" on a webpage...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
That's why I asked you to list the settings you have checked under language and keyboard under settings. So I could compare it to my settings and see if we have anything different then one another.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
There is nothing there about smileys, emoticons, or anything that even sounds close.

But for grins anyhow:

Select Language: English (United States)

Multitouch keyboard settings: show suggestions, auto correct errors, auto punctuate, vibrate on keypress, auto caps, voice dictation all checked

Touch input: text input: predictions, word completion, vibrate when typing checked
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Yeah I know, but just humor me lol. Maybe something is because me and habitual_line_stepper are getting smiley icon. Also durring web browsing it will be go.... for the most part
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
Maybe try uninstalling, re-downloading and reinstalling?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Where are you seeing touch input: text input at? I don't see that under any settings....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
'touch input' is a sub menu under languages and keyboards, it's not within the multitouch keyboard settings
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
I don't have that lol on cm6 nightly build
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jumpman6235:
I also have the arrow key while in messaging app, but have smiley face key while in google voice
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
Ah, that explains it. I really do miss running CM6
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ssgelm:
Can someone modify the apk so that it doesn't replace the stock froyo android keyboard in CM6?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] silencer1515:
no smiley button here :( any help unrooted 2.2 evo
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] smonme:
I see smiley in text and google talk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sshark:
So you have arrow keys while using multi touch keyboard? Are you sure you are using HTC Touch KB and not the Droid KB?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marctronixx:
poster has the arrow KEY not arrow KEYS.. just the return key is what i believe the poster to be referring to...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marctronixx:
im stock unrooted. i changed the extension to .apk and that didnt work so im guessing this is for rooted folks? or am i missing a step? id like to try this new keyboard if possible...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] coney718:
I don't have a Smiley button either. Just the arrow/ return key. Not really a big deal but would be nice

Sent from HTC Evo
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
The one I made is a flashable zip. So, unzip it and go under system/app and try to install the LatinIME.apk..... If that doesn't work, then I don't know
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thegame3202:
handcent=arrow key

regular texting app=smiley....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marctronixx:
never ever have done this method of installing before! pretty cool! thanks amigo for the instruction! i also used Astrozip instead of ES file manager! dont ask... :rolleyes:

the keyboard works just fine for me. vibration is noticeable now.. better... the smiley face is there when its supposed to be and missing when its not meant to be there.. in essence, that part of this updated keyboard is working just as in the first version posted a couple days ago in this thread..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
I'm glade it worked for you. I am talking to the guy that ported it to see if I can throw out the res folder in order to get it just like the 2.1 version we had. I don't know if you guys noticed....... but, in the suggestion box there is a blue sqaure when selecting a word from it. It is bothering the hell out of me! I have searched through every xml document to see what makes it creat a comma on double press of the period. No luck so far. I am still trying to figure it out, changing some xmls at a time then flashing it to see if it changed anything
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AlkamistStar:
Thank you! This keyboard is awesome. Works like a charm, and flashing was quick and easy.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
After flashing this keyboard I'd like to have the stock Froyo keyboard back. If I install the apk for it I get process com.android.inpumethod.latin has stopped unexpectedly.

Anyone know of a fix?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
As of right now, you would have to get rid of this. If you like the stock 2.2 keyboard, wait for Droid X to get froyo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
I'm cool with that. I guess my question is....how do I get rid of all traces of this? When I delete it and re-install the Froyo stock keyboard it crashes.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tatnai:
i don't know why everyone is so upset about no double tap for comma, the comma is in suggestions whenever you finish typing a word, just click on it there. one click instead of two, seems better to me.

hope you made a nandroid, and can nandroid back. if you did not, then try using titanium backup to un-install it.

always nandroid before making a change, for this exact reason.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mccarthyand:
New to this Please explain- File install???

Just got My Evo running 2.2. How do I install this type of file?:confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sporkman:
read what people have said its explained here
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Greenfieldan:
Is it just me, or is this keyboard useless now that the stock keyboard is multi touch? I mean, aesthetically it's different, but I feel like it's the same (if not less accurate) as the stock keyboard. Any one else realizing this? Or is my experience out of the ordinary?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mccarthyand:
Thanks This worked

i just email the file to myself opened the attachment, saved to the SD and done. I am missing any documentation. Does anyone know whee I can find a tutorial or documentation that tells you how to's in terms of adding words to dictionary etc?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DeviLduck:
Your method worked for me, when the others failed.

Thanks, this method works on evo with OTA 2.1 update, early 2.2 manual update (get to .3), final OTA 2.2 update (get to .6) from Sprint/htc. Never rooted stock.

Stock 2.2 keyboard is ok, but my fingers do better on this one, with fewer misstypes.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
@enragedpaza

did you update the & symbol when you long press on the period? keyboard from the first page has &amp;

edit: nvm
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lumpylouis:
many thanks. been waiting for this for a while now!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenags:
Just installed and it seems to be working perfectly. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
Any chance to get a theme kitchen up for this, and maybe a few tweaks? Only issue I get is it starts becoming unresponsive sometimes and I have to force close it and restart it. Can we get gestures and a smiley button?

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Unresponsive?! Really, when will it happen to you? I hve experienced this. Gestures would take some one adding to it. Smiley's are there, just for some reason... some people an't see them
