Could you apply this theme to this version for the Droid 1 that I attached? It doesnt install when I try to port it over.

Glad to hear it, one of the gents in cognition forum showed me this little trick.

I still can't get wjdblue to install. I tried uninstalling via titanium backup several times, and rebooting, but the multi-touch keyboard just keeps appearing when I reboot.

Do I not have something, or am I doing it wrong?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
If you flashed it it will not go away. But if you installed it you can uninstall it through titanium or any file manager. If you flashed and you did a nandroid backup just use the backup before you flashed the keyboard.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sfld:
does vib on keypres work for people using this on their evo?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
Yes it does you just have to enable it in the settings
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JungWoo:
Oops, I forgot to mention. I followed some instructions from previous posts telling me to flash any multi-touch keyboard, and then remove through titanium. I'm not having any luck with this though. Titanium just won't delete it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
If you did a nandroid backup before you flashed the keyboard then use that backup if not you will have to start from scratch with your rom that you have
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
I strongly recommend you di a nandroid backup before you flash anything
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Hmmmmmm. have to many files on here to upload more?

Decided to post how to:

downloads to get: Android sdk, apk manager (can be found on the forums), paint.NET or photoshop, notepad ++

How to:

1)install Android sdk

2)unzip apk manager and put contents in tools folder (I made a sub folder in tools tittled "apk manager". So C:/sdk/tools/apkmanager is my location.)

3)put the apk of the keyboard you want to change in the folder

"place-apk-here-for-modding"

4) run Script.bat when you get to the screen with different options from 1-22 hit 9, that will give you a new folder under apkmanager called "out"

5) edit the files you want under out/res/drawable-hdpi-v4 and out/res/drawable-land-hdpi-v4

6)now this is a little tricky, there will be 3 things to edit in 3 xml documents-folders to look in-out/res/xml, out/res/xml-hdpi-v4, out/res/xml-land-hdpi-v4

things to edit using notepad++

1)open kbd_symbols.xml in ALL 3 folders

edit line 21 to read

<Key android:codes="38" android:keyLabel="&" />

edit line 25 to read

<Key android:codes="40" android:popupKeyboard="@xml/kbd_popup_template" android:popupCharacters="[{&amp;lt;" android:keyLabel="(" />

2)open kbd_symbols_shift.xml in ALL 3 folders

edit line 35 to read

<Key android:popupKeyboard="@xml/kbd_popup_template" android:popupCharacters="≤«‹" android:keyLabel="&" />

3)open popup_punction.xml in ALL 3 folders

edit line 7 to read

<Key android:keyLabel="&" />

7)options

folder-out/res/values

1)open arrays.xml

vibration pattern changes vinration

2)open colors.xml

these change different things

3)open dimens.xml

these COULD change size of the buttons

8)all done press 11 on the Script.bat

9)press 12 done

Somehow I guess I got the keyboard to install, but whenever I reboot, it reverts back to the one I had flashed before (which is the regular wjd keyboard). Any idea why?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JungWoo:
Also, if I try to delete the multi touch keyboard through titanium now, it says failed to locate APK. What could I have possibly done?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Did you ever remember what xml edit to remove the ., back to . ?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
If it is looking for the apk you probably deleted it so go into astro and see if you can uninstall it there. And also go into settings and switch to the keyboard you want. If it was deleted then after you switch it in settings a reboot should take care of anything else.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
How do you switch them to read?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JungWoo:
Ok, I just did my nandroid backup. How should I install it? I am on CM6, so it already has a LatinIME.apk on it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
Download the one you want unzip it and put the apk on the root of your sd card and install it through astro. If that doesn't work send me a pm and I will get back to you. I will be at work so I will check my phone periodically.

Or just rename the apk. Let me know your results either way.

ES File Explorer also works good if you have root and want to move around system files on your phone.

Has anyone found a way to have one of these keyboards and the default Android froyo keyboard on their phone as well?

I found that Vlingo has their own keyboard, which is basically the stock 2.1 android keyboard with the vlingo speech button instead of the default google speech to text button, but I am looking for the froyo one. I dont know why, but I constantly switch keyboards, and for whatever reason, this keyboard and the stock froyo one use the same app name or class. Basically when one is installed, when i go to install the other, it says its already installed, and i have to uninstall/install to get the other.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jxr94:
Just wondering if there was any way that you could implement swipe gesture like the htc ime. Just curious.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mich2Ga:
Beautiful, fantastic job!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mich2Ga:
These are beautiful & work flawlessly!. Thanks a BUNCH!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
Here is my keyboard. All credit goes to the OP.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
It might be the same name, so you could rename the keyboard. I highly doubt the same name, it sounds like the class, because I have an HTC_MOD and the Multi-touch keyboard that play nice with each other. I also have swype installed.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] S4Rs:
I believe it has to do with the fact that this keyboard replaces the Default froyo one on the droid x so that is probably why. I guess i dont need both, but I love options, and the only thing selling the droid x keyboard short is that I love the swipe up feature of the froyo android one. Swype drives me insane cause there is no option for speech and when it doesn't work, it really screws words up for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] conflikt:
How about grey with black push keys or black with white push keys? :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ViViDboarder:
Hey, we have no way to make this install as a user app do we? So it can go along size the stock keyboard?

Do you know what one would look for if decompiling with APKtool or something?

EDIT:

Also, how do I edit these XML files? I open them in Notepad++ and it's basically junk.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jivens716:
For some reason every time I try to install any of the froyo multitouch keyboards, they force close as soon as I select them as an input method. I transfer the file over from my computer, then go into astro and extract the file, then install the it. I don't know why this is happening because it is working for every one else, and I have froyo on my droid. Any help will be greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks,

Jesse

Any word on this? Love the flat black. Would like to see a series in this style with different colors for the alt keys and highlights
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ViViDboarder:
So I used APKtool to decompile the APK and that made all the XML plain text. I also tried renaming through package something so not to overwrite the stock keyboard but it wouldn't install. I think it was still looking to install to system. Any idea how to make it install in data?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ViViDboarder:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] blu3poptart:
Does anybody know if these issues have been fixed? I'm using redsp and I can confirm that using quotation marks makes the message be like 'and he said"blah blah." instead of 'and he said "blah blah."..the first quotation mark skips the space and inserts it after the last letter entered. If there is a way to fix this, please let me know :) thanks

Working on it. It looks like I was on the right track, but I just couldn't get the APK's that I re-compilied to install. Check out this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845162

Someone fixed it for the samsung phone, but it should work. I made the same change he made, but my apktool was bugging out on me. I'm either going to try to compile again or just take his apk and re-theme it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] posguy99:
If you look at the keyboard as a whole, it looks like it's actually a Motorola problem. They assume something that's no longer true. The fix is to explicitly set the sizes as you want them.

Here are the blue keyboard from the Samsung thread and an AOSP themed one as well. I went through and corrected the size, as well as cleaning up all the garbage left by the buggy apktool. The Samsung themer missed more than a few. I *think* I got them all... ^_^

These are for Froyo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ViViDboarder:
How did you compile these? I know where I need to modify the sizes on the APK's posted in the OP, but when I re-compile with apktool it fails...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] posguy99:
You've got to fix all the mistaken XML escapes that apktool is adding when it decompiles the original file. The copy posted in issue 100 works much better but still mistakenly escapes ampersands it doesn't need to escape, and doesn't escape less-than signs correctly or at all.

I didn't have any trouble just decompiling and then recompiling (making no changes), but what came out was not what went in, and did not work correctly. You can see it in all the popup keyboards, where the escapes for the special characters are being inserted.

I toyed with the idea of renaming it, so it could be installed in parallel with the original LatinIME, but the library name conflicts, and it's a system library, so if LatinIME's copy got loaded first, the one the multitouch keyboard needs wouldn't load, and the keyboard wouldn't work. I don't know if LatinIME works with the multitouch one or not, didn't try.

It's better IMHO to have them conflict.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lordfredplus:
Not working for me... : -(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ViViDboarder:
Yea I was able to compile but installing would fail for anything I re-compiled. What files are these escapes in? XML? Or the smali too?

OK So I am having trouble with the keyboard showing up. I am running a DX rooted, deoxed, 928 BlackGlass theme 2.2 OTA.

I think I know what I am doing, lol. I put the .zip on the sd root then used DX bootstrapper and went into reboot recovery, made a back up then went in and selected the .zip to be installed. Before doing this I renamed the LatinIME.apk to .bak.

After the install was successful I rebooted successfully saw the new LatinIME.apk and the renamed one in /system/app folder.

I went to my email and messaging and still had the regular keyboard.

Any steps I missed that can be pointed out would be appreciated or a walkthrough.

I just don't feel the need to make money off something I do for the enjoyment of saying "Hey, I made that."

I don't believe so
