But how could i do that?

I could just add the numbers but i don't like that since the letter and the number have the same size.

I tried it also with keyIcon instead of keyLabel. If i use keyIcon I can just create a png file that will be shown instead of the letter itself. But the problem is that I found no way to get a big letter if I press shift.

I'm having some issues on my original Droid with stock 2.2 that updated OTA today. I put both the .apk and .so in the root of my SD, but force closes like crazy as soon as I attempt to use it after the install... How do I do this unrooted without force closes? Any original Droid users accomplish this? lol
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tebower:
Thanks for all the hard work to get this working. I am still confused why it's causing problems with the hardware keyboard, since it's designed for a phone with one. On my D1, the shift and alt keys stay engaged unless I unclick them. This is a huge pain...

Is that the same way it works on the D2? I would be surprised if so.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Funkwheat:
Ahhhhhhhh much better! Been waiting for a Droid X keyboard that works on Froyo, and this seems to be identical. Love it... Best Android soft keyboard out yet.

I can't install these over the existing multitouch keyboard from the beginning of this thread. Any ideas or maybe a zip file to overwrite the existing multitouch keyboard?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] g4rb4g3:
Uninstall the old keyboard and install this one. Or try it with "adb install -r <name_of_apk>.apk"
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] intx:
Yeah same thing on my hero.

I posted a link to this thread in the cdma hero forum, hopefully someone can get it working.

I'll let you know if I find something.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Its a lib limitation, doesn't seem to be of the apk. If i use my droidx port, the keyboard shows up fine on a froyo mdpi device, but the moment i push the new lib, it dissappears. Don't know much about libs, dont understand how they can incorporate such a limitation. Gonna have to wait for a droidx froyo dump.

Hardware Keyboard warning

Please, please please, add a warning on the first post about the hardware keyboard issues this creates with the droid 1. It has no note about it - please advise people with a hardware keyboard that they actually want to use to stear clear of this release until it has addressed the wierd alt behavior issues I previously reported.

I'm also hearing that this is getting cooked into roms for the Droid and the issue is popping up with people using those roms (specifically Liquid's new 1.4 rom. released yesterday I believe). Which forces people to try to figure out ways to uninstall this out of a cooked rom.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dmillerzx:
I can confirm the same... Alt issues while using on D1 BB .04

It appears as though the multi-touch keyboard wants the user to hold the alt key whenever using it. Not sure if it's suppose to work this way or not... There appear to be issues switching on and off of alt after taping once to select alt then pressing your desired key.

A fix for this would be greatly appreciated.

Update: I can confirm that this behavior happen both when using the soft or hard keyboard.

To solve this, whenever you want to use the alt key hold alt then your desired key.

Worked fine on my Desire with CM6-RC2 but I din't test it very long.

Is it really not possible to get this installed besides the standard Keyboard? I don't like replacing it.

Is there a way to use this keyboard on Moto Droid (stock 2.2) or is this just for rooted phones?

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Freakintoddles:
So I installed this last night using SPRecovery on a Sapphire 1.0.0 and it worked no problems. Today I was messing around with another rom and had to restore/reload sapphire from scratch.

Upon reloading sapphire and this keyboard, the phone fc's like crazy on the stock kb, and wont even load the multitouch keyboard. I'm using Swiftkey for now (which I like anyway) but it bugs me that it worked no problem yesterday, then when I reinstalled today the same way it is giving me trouble. Any ideas?

I have the original droid btw.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Chahk:
Works quite nicely on N1 running CM6 RC3.

Would it be possible to have more input languages other than English and Spanish? Stock Froyo keyboard comes with 10 or so.

D1 Multi-touch Keyboard

Would it be possible for the OP to post previously stated Droid 1 issues at the start of this thread?

Again,

After installing the Droid 2 multi-touch keyboard on a Droid 1 (running BB v.04)

There are ONLY issues with the alt and shift keys plaguing only the physical keyboard. It appears as though users should always hold the alt key when selecting their desired entry (multitouch). If you use the keyboard like this it will work 100% fine. The problem lies when trying to use the keyboard in single touch...

This happens when people use the alt function for desired entries that are spaced out.

For example, working multi-touch.

"9387494759*&!^~"

You would use the multitouch (hold 'alt' + desired keys). This will work as it should.

Example, not working single-touch.

"My name is the number 5 and I am a robot; model number GT203a+"

After typing in the way a regular user would, the result is...

"My name is the number 5 a"d I am a ro+ot; mode( "um+er%twpeab"

We need someone to force the alt button OFF after EVERY time it's pressed once. IT IS NOT DOING THIS FOR CERTAIN KEYS.

To fix this someone needs to force the alt lock off after it's tapped (not held - single touch). It will appear that there isn't a alt lock, however certain keys display strange behavior where alt is still having an effect even though the user didn't tap it again.

If this can be fixed the D2 keyboard will work flawlessly on the D1. This keyboard is a great alternative even when using the physical keyboard as you're given the option of auto selection.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RW-1:
Because the physical keyboard of the D2 IS different from the D1, there are alt, and alt lock, and it appears it doesn't have a menu key. (after looking at one in a VZ store).

What will need to happen is to figure out what our menu key is sending to the D2 SW, and/or recode it to solve those issues.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] andybones:
confirmed working on Droid Incredible CM6-RC3 ROM.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] kdmhong:
Confirmed working on a CM RC3 on a Moto Droid 1. No problems with that ALT - shift, *shrug*. Could be that your actual keyboard is messed up or BB is screwing stuff up.

Heres a standalone version of this keyboard. Try it out and let me know, i don't have a hdpi device so can't do the &amp fixes and wht not, but the OP has proved he can ;)

By standalone i mean u can have the stock keyboard and install/uninstall this keyboard like a regular app.

Flashing from RA recovery and each time it fails to verify the zip and refuses to install.

Thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] torchedlh:
Same for me. Had to install it "manually". Backed up the .so file, replaced it with the one in the OP using root explorer, and then installed the APK. Works great now.

The keyboard is *almost* perfect, just wish it had 'press and hold to access numbers/symbols'
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Good effort but I'm afraid it doesn't work... I went through the same process, debugging the smali on the way. Eventually I was able to get a functional apk with a different package name (alatin in your case, d2kb in mine) but then I run into a hard block:

W/dalvikvm( 3049): JNI_OnLoad returned bad version (-1) in /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so 0x43e677f0

Which means the system library will have to be unloaded for this kb to work... and you can't do that without breaking the standard kb. So, they appear mutually exclusive unless the library is reverse engineered. :(

edit: there's a few more dependencies to debug in your version but given the above, I'm not sure it's worth your effort.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] LBTaylor1984:
doesn't work with opendesire 3.2.1 :(
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dmillerzx:
I don't understand why the OP can't update stated bugs for the Droid 1... Isn't that why other bugs were posted. So people would be reminded of them and could attempt to fix?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] co.ag.2005:
Use Rom Manager (from market) to flash clockworkmod recovery, then flash through that. Clockworkmod recovery will flash this keyboard just fine but amon_ra won't.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
U can also just uninstall the system keyboard and then install/uninstall this keyboard like any regular app.

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/LatinIME.apk
abd uninstall com.android.inputmethod.latin
adb shell rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*LatinIME*
adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/*LatinIME*

Droid 1 manually updated to Froyo 2.2 FRG01B Non-Root

I get Force Close (FC) when i try to install.

I cannot modify the .SO lib as I do not have permissions.

is there a way to get it working on D1 without root or ADB?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] omeshls:
Root

Does it only work on rooted phones? Installed on my unrooted froyo, and showed up the option.. but the keyboard did not change.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] lightstalker:
To try it, you need to Long Press on a text field, then click Input Method, then select Multi touch KB from the list.

if it FCs on you, long press again and select Android KB.

This is if you installed with APK.

I think the .so library is the issue, if you get Force Close, i tried several versions. didnt get it working.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Grizzly420:
Thank you been wanting this style keyboard back. Works great haven't had any issues.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crazyfool287:
I installed this by flashing and it works great, save for two things: It doesn't have multi-touch and it seems to have deleted the stock keyboard (it's gone from the Language and Keyboard menu and is not selectable as an input method because of this).

Anyone else run into this?

I'm running Cyonogen Mod 6 RC3 on the Moto Droid 1.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cms5423:
It definitely has multitough--hold down one key and try tapping others, it definitely works.

As far as replacing stock keyboard, it depeds on the update.zip you flash and how the keyboard is named I think
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] invisiblek:
i apologize to everyone who may have run into this issue. the OP is updated to include backing up your stock keyboard before doing anything with pushing the new one. (yea, 30,000 view later...)

if you have already gotten to this point, go grab the rom you are running, and grab the system/app/LatinIME.apk and system/lib/libjni_latinime.so and push them to those places on your phone (do this in recovery with /system mounted)

when you boot back up you should have the option for your stock keyboard back.

once again sorry for the inconvenience it has caused anyone

Hi,

Can you just tell me how to install it "manually" as i tried flashing it via

Amon RA on my nexus one, it didnt work. So i tried manually backing up the .so file via a file explorer and then tried installing the APK file. The APK file did not install.

I tried with FILE MANAGER and even ASTRO, unfortunately i don't have ROOT EXPLORER.

And i don't want to go the other way (ClockworkMod Recovery).

also, if i try the MANUAL OLD METHOD as described in the OP, via ADB, do

i need to be in RECOVERY MODE, BOOTLOADER or when the phone is on.

Any help ?

I want this white keyboard,, although the black one done by GEO411M does work.

Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Here try flashing this one and let me know. Thnx.

Hi Danesh,

Thanks. Tried this and it installed in Amon RA.

I got the white keyboard working finally :)

Only thing is multi-touch doesnt work perfectly.

I tried how it was explained earlier in this thread

"Keep Q pressed" and then type "u", "i", "c" and "k

It did type out QUIT :) :)

In fact it shows the C being pressed but outputs T and then

doesnt type the K.

Anybody else care to confirm if it works properly or am i doing

anything wrong.

thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Chahk:
That's more of a hardware limitation of the screen than anything software related. Depending on which phone you have, the screen might not be true multi-touch capable.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] gregferns:
Am on the Nexus one.

Is it or is it not multi-touch capable ?

thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] invisiblek:
yes, it is

should work great on a nexus one

the only people that seem to be having problems are droid 1 users (sorry guys)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] gregferns:
Thanks,

and that means i have to dig deeper and find out

why i can't use multi-touch properly.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Chahk:
Nexus One has its share of screen problems. It's not "true" multi-touch, but rather "pinch-to-zoom" capable. If your 2 fingers are on the same horizontal or vertical axis, it totally flips out.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] invisiblek:
didnt know that. i retract my previous statement

Why is this froyo version of the multitouch keyboard that much more complex to install? When the droid x came out there was just one apk, and the keyboard installed on my evo as "Multitouch Keyboard" I cant install this one without it wanting to override the stock android froyo keyboard I put on my evo, which is also called LatinIME.
