it fc on mytouch 4g when i hit a letter. my phone is stock and i dont wanna root it to make this keyboard work. is there a fix for this? also i noticed its a bit different then the stock gingerbread keyboard. the space bar doesnt have the orange line on it and the smiley face is gone and u put an enter button there. also there is no settings button on the stock gingerbread keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] stylez:
Works awesome on zte-blade thx :-)
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
this is the stock gingerbread keyboard from the sdk, just renamed and with some dictionaries added. it does have the orange line on the spacebar and the smiley key, and the stock gingerbread keyboard does have a settings key unless you change "Show settings key" in the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] z3120:
Yup, I am running the standard 240 dpi.

When you say small, is this like this :

if yes, these are the screenshot before I change the dpi to other than 240, then set it back to 240 (first install)
[Android Apps and Games] s10shane:
on my mt4g i dont see the orange line unless u gotta hit the space bar button then it shows up real quick. plus the smiley isnt on the keyboard i installed which was this one. but i cant do nothing with it since everytime i press a button it fc. this sucks cause i love this keyboard. lol

here is a pic of my mt4g with the gingerbread keyboard and i was comparing it to the one on the nexus s and it doesnt look exactly the same thats why i asked why it looks different. u can see no orange line on mine and a few buttons different
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
boot up gingerbread in the sdk and try it. that's how the orange line is supposed to work.

also, the smiley key doesn't show all the time. it does show in the stock messaging app, and other places where it's supposed to show.
[Android Apps and Games] fLiPad0:
It works fine with HTC Desire with 2.2 stock.

The only thing missing now is really the PT-PT dictionary. Any ideia on date for the release or where to find one?
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
i should have a new version built from source by the end of the week... if you want a dictionary included that's not in this one, you'll need to track one down for me to include.

I've found a .zip file with the dict in the AndroidPT forum, the file is hosted in the Villainrom.co.uk Forum, but i've attached the file in this post for ease of access.

Selecting Text tends to crash application

In ColorNote and Evernote, if you select text with this keyboard installed and activated, it consistently crashes ColorNote and Evernote. This does not happen with stock 2.2.1 stock Android keyboard on OG Motorola Droid. Selecting text seems to be a problem in general.

Hotaro apparently there is a problem with anyone including me that is having the force closing problem that has the HTC Desire BravoC USCC and the HTC Desire HD.

[Android Apps and Games] victorhooi:
heya,

It installs and works fine on my Nexus One (2.2).

However, the word correction features doesn't seem to work - after you finish typing, you're meant to be able to bring the cursor back to a previous word, and it'll pop up all the alternate options for you to pick.

I do that, and the list of alternate words comes up, however, if you pick one, it just inserts that word into the middle of where you are now, instead of replacing the mis-spelt word.

E.g. if you type in "how", and you meant to type in "his".

You bring the cursor back:

h|ow

You select "his" from the list.

And you now get:

hhisow

Seems quite stupid - I'm fairly sure this isn't Google's intended behaviour - can anybody else confirm if this is intended behaviour or a bug?

Cheers,

Victor
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
that's how it works on gingerbread. it's probably a bug, and i'll look into fixing it.

[Android Apps and Games] Tyfighter:
Doesn't work on Milestone 2.1

Might be that I'm running a custom "rom" though.

It installs well and everything. I can check the box, I can select it in input settings, but when I go to type, its all squashed into the bottom 10% of the screen and thus, totally unusable. I really appreciate that you're trying to bring this to 2.1 devices though.
[Android Apps and Games] oneshortsleeve:
So is the new Copy and Paste a function of 2.3 and not a function of the keyboard?

The new keyboard is great on my G2. I was really looking forward to the copy and paste.
[Android Apps and Games] tailsthecat3:
i havent tried it yet but ive never had a problem with the standard copy/paste.

just my $0.02
[Android Apps and Games] meyerweb:
Without the new copy / paste this doesn't really do a lot or me, especially on a phone without a physical keyboard. I still prefer the IME-mod keyboard, if for no other reason than it's easy cursor movement.

[Android Apps and Games] adorkablejuliep:
The keyboard types very well but occasionally (most of the time), it doesn't auto-capitalize. I have to manually hit shift after a period. A little annoying since I'm OCD about such things. I also like the HTC input keyboard a lot since it has a calibration feature but I'm on a large screen so that could play a lot into it as well.

*edit* I take that back. In certain text fields it doesn't auto-capitalize, such as HTC notes widget, Google search. In SMS and email, it works just fine.

I seen a video of Gingerbread Keyboard and it had a copy/paste option that gave you two selectors to drag. I really wanted to check that out as it appeared to be a big improvement. I have the Gingerbread 2.2 Plus version installed and it does not appear to be any different than the original Android keyboard as far as copy/paste function. Am I missing something?

Finnish is missing ä, å, & ö

I'm using Swedish layout instead of Finnish since the Finnish layout seems to be missing the å, ä, and ö characters (so it's basically the same as the English layout at the moment).

Other than that, it works flawlessly and it seems to be A LOT more accurate than the stock 2.2 keyboard or the Scandinavian Keyboard (from Android Market) I've been using. I'd say it's definitely on par with the iPhone 4 keyboard I've tried - and that's saying a lot ..!

In addition the keyboard responds INSTANTLY. There has been this 0.1s lag bugging me when using the stock keyboard and that has made the overall Android user experience seem sluggish - but no more.

EDIT: I noticed that the Vibrate on Keypress doesn't work for me at the moment, so that also might contribute for the fact that it seems to be lightning-fast.

Thank you ..!

word recognition issues?

Hi,

I've done a brief search of the thread but I don't see the issue i'm having -

for some reason basic words are not being autosuggested -

words like "for" "to" "the"

For example when I type "the" - it autosuggests eTHErnet, so when i press space it types ethernet.

Any advice?

Update: Just to clarify, I do have an English language dictionary selected.

Strangely, the suggested words that are coming up all seem to be from a Spanish dictionary. I can't imagine why this would be happening, I've never put any spanish settings on my phone. The only the I can think of is that my ROM is developed by a Spanish person - maybe this APK is picking up some enviroment settings somehow?

thanks!

Hi, in gtab, when u say it's too small, check my post in page 44. If it is like the screenshot i posted, then u just need to apply the density changer like suggested in the 1st post
[Android Apps and Games] z3120:
Using galaxy tab, just realized that every time i restarted, the keyboard will become small again, then i need to run the density changer again, no need to change the dpi, just press apply and restart one more time, then the keyboard back to "normal" again.

Not sure what causing it. Anybody using gtab can confirm if u experience the same or just my device.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] craigcharlie:
Gah the language thing is driving me nuts. I've even opened up the APK, deleted all the stuff that looks non-english, and reinstalled. No dice.

So if I try to type the word 'establish' , when I get as far as 'est' the keyboard suggests "este" "esta" "estaba" - definitely stuck in a spanish setting for some reason....

any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
try enabling english and spanish in the settings and then slide on the keyboard to switch between them. that might fix it.

thanks for taking the time to respond. much appreciated.

I'm going to have to put this down to user error - it seems to be working fine now. If I had to guess I'd say that it worked properly immediately after I uninstalled, reinstalled, and then re-checked "Gingerbread keyboard" in the Language and Keyboard settings.
