[Droid Eris Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Italian pal, I have to say that in our version the key "&" becomes "&amp", so it's not aligned to the key because the text is much bigger.

:)
[Droid Eris Android Development] peppeuz:
I thought I have fixed it, but noticed that it still happens on landscape mode.

By the way, there is no "&amp" in potrait.. :D

EDIT: Fixed also in landscape :) i replaced some files with the ones took from the apk posted in 1st page and everything works now ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
The key letters size depends on the rom you're running.

I tried this keyboard on 4 roms on my hd2. The only roms it was normal on was darkstones builds.

Guess if anybody else is running android on HD2, try his builds. :)

Hope the rest of you on different devices can figure it out. This is clearly the best keyboard around.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Fixed, but now chars are very tiny :D almost unreadable...

Cyanogenmod 6 on HTC Desire...
[Droid Eris Android Development] greatbigdragon:
Well that just bites; I guess I'll just deal until a better way comes along.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Almighty1:
And you can fix it easily as it's basically the LCD density and you can change it things will be bigger, less things fit on the screen or smaller, more things fit on the screen. Look at LCD Density in build.prop on the phone which is the file you have to edit.

[Droid Eris Android Development] newbie455:
I'm running this keyboard on the droid 1. You're probably aware of this issue, but when I press alt or caps lock on the hardware keyboard, normally, it turns off after the first key press. However, with this keyboard, it remains on after the first letter, so you have to press alt again to turn it off. Would be great to see this fixed if you ever have the time. Pretty much renders the hardware keyboard useless in a lot of cases.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
I can't find the latinime.apk file. In DInc running desire z Rom. Any ideas.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lecapitan:
Yes! This rocks.

Working on my Droid Incredible running Froyo. Just had to push the files using ADB. The .so file didn't previously exist on my phone.

Thanks a bunch, love that I can type super fast now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] fp99:
I need some help. Here's the error I recevied when trying to flash the .zip file (DroidX-keyboard-black-kaosfix-v4.zip).

Writing BOOT:...

E: Missing file boot.img

E: Failure at line 10:

Thank you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Phateless:
Did you even read the original post? It is NOT a flashable zip.

You're supposed to use adb or root explorer copy the files to a particular directory on your phone. If you don't know what that means search around, there are some good tutorials.
[Droid Eris Android Development] fp99:
Thanks. I did check the original post and I know I have to push a couple of files using adb. This zip was posted by someone who created a flashable version of the apk and lib files. I guess I will have to do it the manual way. I just don't like messing with the files using root explorer, that's all.

Thanks again for the help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Phateless:
Ah, my apologies, didn't see that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] epsix:
Hello all, can anyone port this to mytouch4g? I've try every thing reading countless hours but can't get it to work on mtg4

Ps: I've checked /system/app there's no LatinIME.apk or GoogleLatinIME.apk I only see HTC_IME.apk
[Droid Eris Android Development] NoOneCanHelpMe:
..............
[Droid Eris Android Development] AdhvanIt:
That's because you don't have the stock android keyboard. Just push the two files to the correct locations. Make sure the .apk is named correctly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
Pushing the files doesnt work it only results in force close when you try to type something...i am running the desire z rom for the Dinc
[Droid Eris Android Development] NoOneCanHelpMe:
Could you please tell me why do I need the .so file? I downloaded the apk and it works just fine. Desire on 2.2 unrooted

Thanks

IncDoes DesireZ ROM FC

I'm running the IncDoes Desire Z ROM v1.0 and when I push the files via adb it force closes when I try to type something. Any help?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Marcio366:
I think you will not belive me, but... I have Desire with stock rom from Tmobile without ROOT. I just installed the apk file without pushing .so file and it is WORKING fine!!!

I have only one small problem - when pushing eg. ALT and some letter, it is not precise. But it is not a problem for me.

It seems I'm lucky :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] NoOneCanHelpMe:
i found out about this first :P

btw any idea what the .so file is for?
[Droid Eris Android Development] JacksFull:
So what is the solution to the tiny fonts?

it used to work fine on the Nexus One w/ Cyanogen 6.1 RC1, now on the RC2 the fonts have gone tiny. anyone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gandhisfist:
Yeah, I am having the same issue on a G2 running CM6.1RC4
[Droid Eris Android Development] Almighty1:
About the Tiny Fonts, please see post #321 above for a possible solution.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jradaj:
Only problem with that is it would change the density for everything, not just the keyboard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Almighty1:
It's not a 100% solution so you have to find some compromises since you can always set it to something in the middle so that both the keyboard and the other things work. It will not be 100% perfect since I'm sure the density of the keyboard fits some devices better than others unless you can customize the density of the keyboard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jtcarnes:
I don't see how changing the density is going to make the letters any larger. The problem isn't that the KEYS are too small - they're regular size - but that the actual LETTERS on the keys are TINY. Imagine your regular keyboard but with letters about 1/10 the size.

Anyone have any workable ideas? I've tried multiple ports and they all have the same issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Almighty1:
That's a different issue altogether since you're talking about font size and not the entire keyboard as a whole. I have no idea what it looks like as I have a Motorola Droid 1 and I read the keyboard still has issues with it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] truelove79:
Just tried flashing both these keyboards (regular and black). Both failed verification.

EDIT: Nevermind, just saw that these are not flashable zips.
[Droid Eris Android Development] forever29:
Thanks plenty for this Kaos. I'm on the Rubix ROM and I wanted this keyboard back for

my X. Worked perfectly!
[Droid Eris Android Development] mooglesoft:
Having the same issue. The only upside is that multitouch now works properly under CM6.1 on my Droid. It's a shame to see that the developer has abandoned all support for this keyboard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LuffyPSP:
i'm using htc desire. can i use this? and after i push i still wont lose my standard keyboard correct? or will it replace it? i hope it just adds to my keyboard collection.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wongk:
Keyboard FCs on nonsensikal

After installing the vanilla keyboard per the instructions on Nonsensikal 16.1, I get constant FCs after each reboot. "Android keyboard (process com.android.multitouch.inputmethod.latin)...". If I reinstall the apk using Root Explorer it will start working again, but only until the next reboot.

Also, the background for the black keyboard is transparent in landscape mode. I can see the application behind the keyboard in between the keys.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wongk:
Using the 'integrate into ROM' feature in the latest Titanium Backup after successfully installing the keyboard seems to resolve this issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kenpham:
I'm facing to the tiny characters in the keyboard too. How to fix this problem? I'm using HD2 MIUI. tks in advance.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Well, not all support. But true, I've not looked into anything with it recently. I do expect that I'll at least try and fix the small text issue some time soon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dawidex:
It is great news to hear that you're going to look into the issue, I've been having this issue as well and nobody in the forum seems to have a clue on how to fix it..

It's a pity because this was the best keyboard I've tried on my Hero.

As for the rest, thanks for the port in the first place :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] vesperwillow:
Quoting a guy from the beginning of the thread. Same issue. it either says that, or when you select it, it does nothing. Rebooted several times.

The .so file is where it needs to be. Any ideas?

Force closes after I type two letters and multitouch doesn't work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] snyluc13:
hmmm... same thing here, after two reboots it still FC's on me after typing two letters.

good job nonetheless, I am starting to believe that you sir are a robot
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
I found a bug thats causing this, hold tight I'm fixing it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pinksocker69:
Same effect. Removed both /system/app/LatinIME.apk and /system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk before installing. Running KaosFroyo v30.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nethru:
I don't have either of the Latin.apk files in /system/app folder and I uninstalled the keyboard 2.2 using titanium backup but I still can't install this new APK. What program are you guys using to install it? I get error can't install.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ty07allstar:
You the man!!! Any ETA on V31? I really need to do a wipe but would rather wait til V31 comes out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcitron:
Removed old apk's, install unsuccessful. Rebooted, installed successfully but force closes after a couple key presses.

Also, to those who have used this before, are there any benefits to using it over swype?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pinksocker69:
For me it was significantly more responsive than Swype on this handset, even with Swype running on Froyo. Looking forward to having a snappy keyboard again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Ok, should be fixed now, new version in first post.

EDIT: Wait, jas nother bug :/
[Droid Eris Android Development] ti-89rox:
Ill wait as long as it takes. Thanks Kaos!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Yup, now it doesn't even open.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pinksocker69:
Despite the issues, keep up the great work, man. Been loving your Froyo port, excited to see the keyboard on top of it. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnnyboy1549:
So is this like swype it just a normal keyboard? I downloaded it and it just works like a normal keyboard, or is that the issue at the moment? Something odd I noticed also is that it is force closing like everyone is getting EXCEPT in the facebook app where it works just fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] emiliobadillio:
Works in Terminal Emulator fine, but everywhere else it force closes. Can't wait for this, it is super touch responsive!
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Ok, NOW its fixed :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
Can use root explorer to move files
[Droid Eris Android Development] ti-89rox:

[Droid Eris Android Development] dalsor:
Sorry for such a newbie question, but how exactly do we push files to these directories? I'm running kaosfroyo 30.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Yes, that is what I did.
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
adb remount

adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib

adb push droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk /system/app/
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Works great for me. Thanks Kaos!!!!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
3rd time's the charm ? :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] mib12890:
seems the text size on the keyboard has gotten smaller. is it just me?

EDIT: It was my problem. got it fixed and now it works great.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Heh, something like that :P
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Stupid question:

What's the advantage or benefit(s) of this keyboard ? I don't like the default Android keyboard and much prefer HTC's. Never used Swype.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Its fast, its multitouch so you can hit the next key before you've let go of the last, or hold shift and hit a key.

Other than that, its not a ton different than the AOSP keyboard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheDoctor1177:
So, I'm still trying to get the hang of this, every time I type in my cmd prompt I get adb is not recognized as an internal or external command?

Confused :confused:

and i know i'm a noob.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
can you explain how? I cant get the zip to open in root explorer...
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
you need to have installed the ADB command on your PC before that'll work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
Pushed both files tried to install. Says will replace Latin but I delegated old files and can't get it installed any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
You need to remove your old keyboard(LatinIME.apk most likely)
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheDoctor1177:
Thanks Kaos!! Figured it out and loving it.

Also sk842018 you can long press on the text field and press input method and you can choose multi-touch keyboard and you won't get the error messages.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
It works. Its awesome.

If you dont know how to push stuff then use root explorer. extract zip file, copy from the extracted file where it moves it to the places kaos says in the first post. Then dont forget to go back and install the apk too after you copy it to the location he says.

works awesome. this keyboard is incredible.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
Yea deleted old latin ime and rebooted and it installed. Thank you kaos
[Droid Eris Android Development] diablo908:
If installed properly, what should this keyboard be called in Input Methods?

Edit: Got it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
Make sure to go to menu/settings/language and keyboard and check box that says multi touch than long press in input box and check multi touch
[Droid Eris Android Development] ccoop:
Was the link taken down? I don't see a link on the original post.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
Here are a list of commands that I ran. Can someone confirm I did everything ok. I'm not getting FC's but it's hard to tell if multitouch is working.

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/LatinIME.apk

adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib

adb push droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk /system/app

adb reboot

EDIT - just kidding. I'm getting FC's and a cool little thing where I hold one letter down, press another letter and it types the first letter again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Mine doesn't have the checkbox in that menu (like I was expecting it to) but I am able to long-press in a text field and select this keyboard.

It does feel much more responsive than the HTC(mod) keyboard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] y3ahright:
After i push and reboot all i get is another Android Keyboard? Am I supposed to delete the original one?
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnnyboy1549:
You can't see it with your phone because its an attachment. You have to go to the real site. I had the same problem.
[Droid Eris Android Development] eklipze:
Works perfectly. Thanks Kaos, once again top notch work.

For those of you having trouble, remove the LatinIME.apk and LatinImeGoogle.apk from /system/app and reboot. My multi touch didnt actually function until i rebooted so if you are having troubles, remember these crucial steps :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
working perfect for me too THANKS

and i used root explorer for the whole deal

remove old keyboard

move lib

move apk

install apk

reboot and wipe dav

ALL GOOD
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
renamed my original lib and LatinIME.apk files using root explorer, added .bak to the end of the file names. then restarted, then installed. works perfectly. thanks for the awesome release.

just renamed the original apk files (latinime and latinimegoogle) to remove the .bak. all keyboards now available and working. just fyi
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
There's a good chance you'll end up with a bunch of FCs on the stpck keyboards if you do that, as the libjni_latinime.so isn't the same between the two.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kingdazy:
this is easily my fave KB, super responsive , no lag at all.

been waiting for this to be ported to 2.2/ARM6.

sad thing is I am at work, no ADB shell here...

can you (someone?) make a flashable?

EDIT: looking forward to your flashable. ;-) when you get around to it, no hurry man. and thanks for your work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
There ya go, give that a shot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mackeydesigns:
Having some issues getting it to pop up under the input method. :/
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Here's a flashable(from recovery) version of this keyboard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mackeydesigns:
using Root Explorer

I renamed the old libjni_latinime.so in system/lib to .bak

Copied and Pasted the new file in its spot

Renamed LatinIME.apk and LatinImeGoogle.apk to bak

Copied and Pasted the new APK file, installed.

Rebooted, Cleared the Dalvik, still nothing in input method.

Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mackeydesigns:
Damn, the Flash didn't work either. :/
[Droid Eris Android Development] kingdazy:
****. was just about to do that. well, i'll be watching this thread. ;-)

[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
Is there a chance we'll get the other colored boards? I dig the black and blue version I seen on the evo forums I believe. Either way its awesome to have a functional multi keyboard
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Post up links to them,and ill fix them up too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
how can we actually tell if the multitouch keyboard works? It appears to be installed for me however if I try to press two keys at once..only one shows up. It constantly vibrates on keypress regardless of what settings I change....any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Hold shift and hit a button, does it work?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
in the setting it say something about voice dictation but i dont see a ket right off to do that but the keyboard works fine
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
i found it keyboard is great if anyone finds black let me know
[Droid Eris Android Development] Erris Bueller:
I flashed the zip and had it working for a hot minute but the double key press wouldnt work. I rebooted and now I cannot select it from the input menu. I see the files in root exp. and even tried reinstalling the apk from root exp and it still wont show up. I also see it installed under my apps in my settings.

Anybody have this problem?

Im running the latest version of Kaos Fryoo and have topaz aarons mauro froyo theme installed.

For the few minutes I had it up before I rebooted and lost it - it was awesome.

Thank you for this Kaos

Didn't work. =\ Causes force closes occasionally now but it's the same one.

edit: Perhaps I'm missing something?

I extracted the .zip to tools and pushed the files where you said to and rebooted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
HM did you change the input method?
[Droid Eris Android Development] SeveredBrain:
Just my experience...

I chose to push the files while in recovery as opposed to booted into the os and have not experienced any of the common side effects. Removal of the original keyboard was not necessary and multitouch keyboard was enabled by default(and the only option to be honest).

P.S. KAOS, you rock! Great work as always. :)

Really struggling to get this to work on my KaosFroyo eris... Been fumbling with it for about half an hour. Tried every approach. It's either FCing or doesn't open up at all.
