How did you get it work? Did you just put the apk on Android folder and then just installed it? Does it not force close on you when key is touched?

Do you use mdj 2.2 SenseHD v4.4?
[Android Apps and Games] Delarn:
Didn't work for me even after booting.
[Android Apps and Games] tonylinde:
Can confirm it doesn't work on Desire HD. Looks good until you press a key though ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ceo4eva:
Gets a FC everytime i press a button, cant wait for my device to be supported.

Gl to you OPer
[Android Apps and Games] haakuturi:
Working fine for me!

- HTC Desire.
[Android Apps and Games] Delarn:
Made it work. Stupid me didn't go select it.
[Android Apps and Games] wmedlin:
dose it not have the speech to text button i dont seem to have it on 2.1.
[Android Apps and Games] z3120:
for galaxy tab, first mine also too small, then I tried the recommendation to root, install lcd density for root.

1st installation of the lcd density and restart will not do anything, but after I change the density to 160 (just for fun), apply and restart, then set back to 240, apply and restart, the keyboard now looks normal.. maybe still smaller compared to the stock, but its great for me, the stock, the distance between top and space is a bit too big for me,
[Android Apps and Games] w7ants:
same also in for Desire HD.

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Cynnyr:
Working good on my Evo. Stock ROM with Sense UI.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] BigUps:
Works great on my stock EVO with Sense, however I got a warning message when enabling the keyboard.

The warning message said that changing the keyboard will allow for what I'm typing to possibly be intercepted, including passwords and such. Obviously, that's not verbatim, but close enough. I then had to agree to enable the keyboard. I got the message when I enabled the keyboard via the settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Gingerbread Keyboard checkbox and not the long press -> input method activation process.

Is this normal for keyboard installs? This is the first keyboard I've installed.
[Android Apps and Games] bromidictirades:
I have the same problem. It just won't show up. I'm on an HTC Droid Incredible running 2.2
[Android Apps and Games] :
Go to menu->settings->lang & keyboard to enable it

Launch any application which requires user input from keyboard and long press on the input area. Select the 'input' and opt for new gingerbread keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] darren211:
can i run this on my HD2 android 2.2.1??
[Android Apps and Games] ADeadlySpoon:
Try it and find out? You should be able to I'm guessing?
[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
Same here. It doesn't work for Milestone.

I used Universal Androot to root the Milestone. Installed LCD Density, but funny thing is when I click on "Apply (Restart)", the app doesn't restart the phone.

I tried restarting it manually by powering off and on and no dice.

Any other guide? :(

EDIT: *sigh* Starting to really regret getting the Milestone. Worst Android Phone ever.

Anybody out there know how to uninstall it if we need to? After I installed it all of the sudden my phone is running really slow, even after a reboot.

[Android Apps and Games] DavidKazaryan:
please help

First I'd like to say hi to everyone, this is my first post! :)

Now, I am really confused. This is the first app I'm downloading that's not from the market so I really have no idea what I'm doing. I tried searching for help online through Google but nothing really made any sense, so if somebody could help me that'd be really great.

I have a myTouch 4G with 2.2.1. I downloaded the gbkb.apk on my phone. After it was done downloaded, I tapped it in the notifications bar to install it but it just cleared and nothing happened. I tried this same technique two more times and I kept getting the same result. What am I doing wrong?

*Update: I figured it out! I transferred the file onto my phone through my computer and installed it through Astro. Too bad the keyboard force closes everytime I touch it. :(
[Android Apps and Games] WhistlingDog:
Works great... but a question about use

Works great on my non-rooted Droid Eris running 2.1

Seems more accurate to the touch than the OEM HTC and SwiftKey versions.

But I've a question about it's use: How do you lower the keyboard? Meaning, how do you make the keyboard disappear? With HTC's keyboard, there's a dedicated key on the lower left; with SwiftKey, you swipe down to lower the keyboard. How do you do this with the Gingerbread keyboard?

TIA...
[Android Apps and Games] a3r0n1:
Hi, I have installed on HD2 running 2.2.1, forces close when I try to use. will wait for next fix. cheers

gingerbread keyboard on galaxy tab - landscape

here it is (btw, if you haven't root and change the screen dpi, it will not go full screen like the screenshot, instead it will be like the portrait mode where you can see the app where you write, I like it but then the keyboard will be too small for my comfort)
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
Has the no vibration fix came out yet? Everything works fine but vibration.
[Android Apps and Games] SirRobin78:
Installed on my x10i, works fine but also no vibration. Using lcddensitychanger fix the size.
[Android Apps and Games] dprentice:
Moto Milestone 2.1 rooted. Small keyboard is useless. lcddensity doesn't restart, and thus doesn't work.

Works fine. HTC Desire with Cyanogenmod 6.1.

[Android Apps and Games] K_Hismoom:
Thanks for the screenshot.

Are you running the standard 240 dpi? If so, that might explain, why the keyboard is so small on my tab, because I changed to 210 dpi.

In order to use it, you have to write some text, sms for instance and when you click long in the text field, choose input method and select this keyboard

[Android Apps and Games] camalot:
What did you change to get it to work on 2.1? also, did you change the package name or just the apk name? If you only changed the apk name it will still replace the stock keyboard because they go off the package name, not just the apk name.

I found that if I change the package name, the auto-complete no longer populates with real words, only your contacts. If you look at my thread in Vibrant/Apps & Themes, I have haptic feedback working.
[Android Apps and Games] barisahmet:
Same here on a Sense rom. I think because of the "Sense". or.. IDK. It was working on a non-Sense rom on the same phone though. Anyways, any ideas for get it to work on Sense rom anyone? Because I am tired of the stock Sense keyboard and others.
[Android Apps and Games] aliilyas:
Just installed it on my Android 2.2 enabled HTC Desire. It works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
got rid of voice input (most of the code is still there, just removed the code that called the speech recognition api (and replaced it with constant values indicating that speech recognition either isn't available or didn't do anything where necessary), got rid of google's automatic settings backup stuff, and changed some of the touch handling code.

i changed the package name and edited the .so file. it doesn't replace the stock keyboard and auto-complete works.

also, most other versions of the gingerbread keyboard that i've seen have the dictionary (they all have only one dictionary) set up wrong. they usually put their dictionary in the "raw" folder, which makes the keyboard think that dictionary works for any language. i set it up correctly so it can tell which languages it has dictionaries for, and it only uses the english dictionary for english.

also, haptic feedback is working for me with this version on my phone.

if you can get a logcat of it, i can probably fix it.

So just get an App Installer application? What about those ones where you have to copy it to the root folder, how's this different? How do I select this keyboard after installing?

[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
To all Milestone users

Does anyone of you have an older version of LCD Density? I read somewhere that the current version had the auto restart disabled. I've tried to search but it's tricky using the phone.

I will try it out and get back to you guys again.
[Android Apps and Games] kkiran:
Nexus One works great with the apk you posted. The nagging settings button is kinda annoying though.

How do you guys do it?! Is there an Android101 for noobdroid programmers on here (I am scared of Java. I love Python+MySQL)!

It looks really really tiny on my phone...like one third of the original size LOL
[Android Apps and Games] webmastir:
if you go into "settings > language & keyboard settings> gingerbread kb settings". it's in there, iirc.

Saw a few people post this as a possible fix:

For the little keyboard (need ROOT) : Download lcddensity on the market, install, give root rights and confirm the density already written. Reboot phone
[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
OMG! I think I just bricked my phone!

Can somebody please help me?

I tried using LCD Density Changer by Beansoft. I switched the density to 192, but now the phone will not boot!

I have no idea what to do from here! Can somebody please help? :(
[Android Apps and Games] webmastir:
What phone do you have (os, rom, etc?)

did you set the density as system default or to load it on demand?
[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
Hi. Thanks for helping me out.

I am using an Asian Motorola Milestone. Nothing customized.

I didn't set the density as system default. I stupidly entered a figure 192. The phone shut it off (in order to reboot) but Android will not load.

Right now, I don't mind doing a "hard reset" of sorts if I knew how.
[Android Apps and Games] webmastir:
Bummer. I have heard of a few that this happened to, 192 should've been ok. It can easily be fixed by going into System Recovery Mode.

(few dif ways, depending on phone)

Press and hold the X key on the QWERTY keyboard of the phone, and press the Power button until the screen lights up. When the Motorola logo appears, release the Power button but keep hold of the X key until icon describe below appears.

-OR-

Press and hold the Camera button on side of phone, and press the Power button until the screen lights up. When the Motorola logo appears, release the Power button but keep hold of the Camera button until icon describe below appears.

-OR-

Press and hold the Volume Down button, and press then Power button until the screen lights up. Then select Recovery and press Power button to confirm.

A yellow or red triangle with an exclamation mark (!) will be displayed on phone screen. Press and hold the Volume Up and Camera or Power buttons simultaneously to bring out the system recovery menu.

Good luck man.
[Android Apps and Games] Dukko:

[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
Oh man, I hate to take this thread off topic. (I'm very sorry guys)

And so it did, but when I try to reboot system, it still wouldn't boot. I'm in trouble now, am I? :/

But boy this keyboard is mint, even with 1/3 of the size i can type accurately!

EDIT: Just realized it may not work because I didn't resign it. I have in it /system/app and it doesn't seem to care if apps on /system is correcly signed or not. I'll create a signed version shortly.

For what it's worth, the keyboard installed fine but didn't show up under the input options when I tried to switch it from a text entry field. However, it did show up under Settings - Language & Keyboard and has been working fine since then - well, other than the no vibration.

Does anybody have this problem where the keyboard is only popping up to 1% of the screen?

Using an Archos 32, running 2.2, and used the 2.2 apk.

I am really liking this keyboard, it's very responsive on my HTC Hero 2.1. The only bugs I have are no haptic feedback and sliding on the spacebar does nothing.:confused:

sliding on the spacebar should work if you have more than one language enabled in the settings.

i'm not sure why the haptic feedback works on some devices and not others... i'll look into that if it still happens with the keyboard built from source.
