can you elaborate on your instructions? i'm getting frustrated trying to enable this keyboard...gingerbread keyboard is checked.

where is this "locale and text" setting you speak of?
[Android Apps and Games] FileEdit:
You are kidding, right? You want your keyboard to reside on the SD card?
[Android Apps and Games] V3ng:
Still get FC on stock Desire HD running 2. 2 when touching any key.
[Android Apps and Games] SamsungVibrant:
I think it depends what kind of phone you have. I have the Vibrant running 2.2

So basically, go to settings, your normal settings menu.

Then look for something that says keyboard, or text, or locale and text.

Then you should see gingerbread keyboard, put a checkmark next to it.

After you did that....go pretend you are going to text message someone...then tap on the text box field...long press...and input method will pop up, choose input method...and now gingerbread should now be listed.
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
i'll look into that when i get home tonight, thanks.

edit: looks like that rom is gone.
[Android Apps and Games] empathyislost:
THANK YOU! argggggg i don't know why i didn't think to long press on there.

quick question - is the gingerbread keyboard "multi-touch" ? i honestly don't know how i would tell...i'm typing fast with more than one finger and it's working...so yes?
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Hope you dont mind but, I made some changes to trick the Keyboard app into using Hebrew.

Firstly, I deleted all languages except English, French and Hebrew. (I definitely know French Locale is one I wont be using any time soon).

Then I replaced the French files for the Hebrew files.

I had to redo the Keyboard layout a little bit because the rows of characters began in the wrong places. To get the Hebrew input language, I needed to select English and French as the Keyboard languages, but, it does work as a Gingerbread Hebrew keyboard. Also Francais is displayed when you use space to switch languages, and not עברית like it would if it was for the correct locale.

I edited the language displayed on the Space bar to Space and רווח because it was showing French for the Hebrew Keyboard. Anyone who needs to use other languages would need to install them into the app themselves. If they need French, they need to rename the xml-fr and raw-fr folders to another locale that works on their device.

2 faults at this point:

1) The dictionary displays the text backwards (as LTR), but the keyboard fully functions as RTL.

2) Switching Languages with Space shows Francais.

[edit] updated apk to remove all unwanted occurrences of amp and to rearrange the smilies to my own liking.
[Android Apps and Games] FileEdit:
Great idea, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I still get only English and Spanish. I'm starting to think that the root is the culprit. I used Z4root to root my Droid X.

Btw you should fix the "/" and the "&" that show up when you press and hold the period key.
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Is Francais (France) available from your language list? Cause I have this setup to only have English (doesnt matter which country) and France. It has no other languages. For me, its a quick and dirty fix until I can find a long term solution :)

Thanks for pointing out that error with the key I thought I tracked down all those amp's :D. I'll fix that, probably for tomorrow some time.
[Android Apps and Games] FileEdit:
Nopes. No other language other than English and Spanish. And even with hotaru's keyboard that was supposed to have 20 or so languages, I only have the above two. Strange. What's wrong with my setup?
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Sounds like your firmware is specifically designed for just Spanish and English.

The reason I had to use the trick I have to get the Hebrew is because Hebrew is not available as an option in my Firmware, and, this Keyboard is a port from Android so its language instructions are hardcoded to what the Firmware says are available locales.

Thats the only explanation I got that makes sense anyway because there were files for a Hebrew keyboard in the version I originally downloaded.
[Android Apps and Games] microsnook:
You should upload a version with bigger, resized keys for the D2 :)
[Android Apps and Games] kudoboi:

Could I please get this with the Korean library? I would very much appreciate it! I am assuming the library can be found in Google's Korean IME app (on market). If not, then no worries.

[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:

[Android Apps and Games] CrAiGaT:
Any chance of a EN-UK version with the £ (Great British) Pound sign in the place of the $ (Dollar sign) in the American biased EN keyboard. Personally I'd get much more use out of the = (Equals sign) than the # (Hash / number symbol)?

Or is there anyway I could do this myself?

Many thanks for it even in it's current format, excellent work!
[Android Apps and Games] theeedy:
How do we do that?

Or is there already a German (DE) only version?

And why should we do that anyway?
[Android Apps and Games] mikells43:
can anyone give me a hand with making the keys bigger on portrat?
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Ok I've done some research on the Keyboard, and, the Locales idea for not displaying certain languages is not the reason that they dont show up on this keyboard.

I switched to a Hebrew locale (took some time and etc, but I got it ;) ) and Hebrew was not a selectable language. Actually the selectable list was the same as on my normal locale list.

So I guess that means the Languages are hard coded into the keyboard? Problem with that is, I cannot see where the language list is stored. Perhaps there is some other system related element that switching the Locale does not affect? For now, I will keep using my mod to get Hebrew.

Works like a charm on my Galaxy Tab, very nice indeed!

Cheers for this!
[Android Apps and Games] Kayno9:
Great work. Works like a charm on my Samsung galaxy s 2.2.1 (jpy).

Haptic feedback works. Text selection works (only when selected from left to right but force closes when selected right to left). Sometimes annoying when accidently selecting right to left as this causes loss of data when force closing.

Only minor issue Is that the keys seem to appear slightly low quality I.e. blurry than another version I have installed on my phone. Anyone else have the same problem?

Many thanks for the update:D
[Android Apps and Games] Bubisch:
I have also experienced those FC's.
[Android Apps and Games] adamspir:
Keep up the good work guys! Well done! Is it possible to add "Greek" as a language in the keyboard? I would be really glad if that happened! :)
[Android Apps and Games] dancer_69:
Yes, Include greek language please!
[Android Apps and Games] MaTiCeK-:
Missing some numbers

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S and Darky's v7.7 ROM. I have not had any FCs.

My problem is that on the Slovenian keyboard (& Croatian also for that matter) the buttons for letters E,Y,U,I,O do not have a number assigned to them. Take a look at the screenshot.

Also, it would be superb if the keys for letters C, S & Z had accented versions for the letters č, š & ž popup once long pressed.

In essence it's all already there if I select the Cech keyboard, but then the dictionary is also for the Cech language.

Thx for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
the keyboard already includes a greek layout. if someone can find a greek dictionary that works, i'll add it.
[Android Apps and Games] MaTiCeK-:
@hotaru: could you just overwrite the slovenian keyboard with the cech one? So that we can use the same layout the ceck keyboard has with the slovenian dictionary?

EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it myself. Took me 2 hours, but now it's perfect. If anyone is interested, just ask me.
[Android Apps and Games] fana05:
Thanks for the effort man, it's not working on my desire hd tho. With US English the only language being selected, it let's me open the keyboard but the moment I hit a single key it force closes. Adding another Language causes a force close before the keyboard even shows. Running Android 2.2.1 and Htc latest software 1.72.405.3.. ever since i updated yesterday, swype language input is not working anymore either.. ughh i hate htc sense

Dim?

Does anyone else notice their screen dim slightly when bringing up the keyboard? In the market, for example, I notice the middle portion of my screen dim just a little when I hit the search button. At first I thought I was just seeing things, but after I turned my brightness all the way up I definitely noticed it. After switching my input to the stock multi-touch keyboard, I no longer notice the dimming.

Am I alone in seeing this? Could this be some kind of residual effect due to the GB keyboard being so dark?
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
@hotaru

Why the removal of voice input to make it compatible with 2.1. The reason I ask is because the stock android keyboard has voice input as well as the swype keyboard. I really never use it but was just curious since 2.1 has the abilities.

Chording?

Chording doesn't seem to work for me. I'm on a Moto DROID1 running CM 6.1.2. Is this a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
because it uses methods that aren't in the 2.1 api for the voice input, and it would take a lot of work to rewrite it working with just baksmali/smali.

now that the source code has been released, it should be a lot easier to port it to 2.1 and have voice input working... right now my plan is:

wait for repo sync to finish so i have the gingerbread source code

get a gingerbread rom built from source out for htc hero cdma

begin work on a proper port of the gingerbread keyboard to older versions of android (at least to 2.1, maybe to 1.6)

Running 2.1 on HTC Hero. Unrooted, no mods.

Odd bug: when GB keyboard is enabled, lower half of screen for all apps and OS has drastically reduced input resolution-- that is, when dragging icons or swiping the screen while in the lower half of the screen, things jump, as if it were only able to detect touch in quadrants maybe 3x3 millimeters, versus normally at nearly pixel level.

I don't know about logcat output so if you need, please let me know and I'll figure that out.

THanks! This is a great keyboard.

i'm not "hontaru", but... if you're trying to download through the browser, try using tapatalk or the xda app instead. if that doesn't work, you'll have to either download it on a computer or get a rom on your phone that isn't crippled like that.

Hi,

I tried the latest keyboard (28/12) on my acer liquid (froyo, bin 4.002.14 lcr-f 1.1.2).

The English keyboard seems to be working fine, but the Portuguese (Brazil) one never auto-corrects. For example, "exemplp" won't auto-correct to "exemplo".

Using an HTC Desire, running teppic's Sense+root ROM 2.29.405.2 in English. The only output I see on logcat (*: D filter) when typing is SurfaceFlinger debug, is there anything specific I should report?

I'm not really even bothered by the key size. What frustrates me with any keyboard is the rate at which I can type.. with the keyboard flipping out and missing letters. I also hate how I can't change the smilies... coming from smart keyboard pro these are really the only two things that bother me.

Is there anyway you can improve typing speed and performance?

[Android Apps and Games] soilheart:
Ok. As I have a Samsung Spica and I am a Swede I want this to be as small as possible and contain both English and Swedish. So I've tried to edit the file to remove all dictionaries except English and Swedish but is seems that i need to edit resources.arsc too (otherwise I get forcecloses), and somewhere here I feel it all begins to snowball out of control (the tools for decoding the .arsc-files are tools dependent on tools dependent on SDK's dependent on other SDK's).

So. If anyone could repackage the file with only English and Swedish dictionaries I would really appreciate it. Or just give me an edited resources.arsc for only Swedish and English (or a simple tool to do it myself).

TL;DR: Swedish+English APK wanted. Or just a Swedish+English resources.arsc.

[Android Apps and Games] naenee:
Why would you want to do this, when you can set it as default? You will not see any part of the default keyboard after setting it up.

The only thing I can think of, is that you somehow mind one package you do not use is on your phone, but there will not be any impact on performance and I doubt your phone is so full there's no room for it.

That said, good luck ;)
