[Android Apps and Games] SammysHP:
I've deleted all languages (raw-xx and xml-xx) except English and German, re-signed it and get a FC when I want to select a language in options->input-language (or similar, translated from German).

Do you have any suggestions what to do? Are there any other files I have to modify?

(Desire with LeeDrOiD 2.2f)
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
you might have to decompile and recompile with apktool.

Can somebody modifield this awesome keyboard little bit? I live in Finland and finnish layout has äöå in qwerty. Now if my locale is Finland, keyboard is normal english qwerty. But if i set my locale to Sweden, then keyboard has äöå. But then menus etc are in swedish and i dont understant it.

So can somebody add finnish locale to this keyboard? Please help me.
[Android Apps and Games] SammysHP:
ok, I will try it.
[Android Apps and Games] slonoten:
I have same problem on my rooted NookColor. If I change locale to Russia russian layout appears, but I can't select Russian from input language list. There are only English, French (Canadian), Portugal and Spanish. I think this list hardcoded somewhere in ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
the finnish layout should be the same as the swedish one.

the list is somewhere in the rom. i'm hoping to come up with a good way to add locales to the list before i release the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] SammysHP:
Done. The same FC. :(
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
hmm.... what does logcat say?
[Android Apps and Games] SammysHP:
I've tested the full version gbkb.apk, all ok, no FC. I haven't installed adb here on my local machine, so a friend of mine will do it.

//edit:

Finally made it. The mistake: unzip, remove, zip, sign, decompile, compile, sign. The right way: decompile, remove, compile, sign. Sorry for any inconvenience. ;)

Sorry, another problem: & is shown as & and < as <.
[Android Apps and Games] lugnuttz:
Works great on my EVO, and Hero's!!! Great Job! I LOVE this keyboard!

THANK YOU!!:)
[Android Apps and Games] sl1ckmcg33:
what's with the warning message about collecting key strokes??
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
oh yeah... you have to fix up some of the xml files when you use apktool.

specifically, these ones in res/xml:

kbd_symbols.xml

kbd_symbols_black.xml

kbd_symbols_shift.xml

kbd_symbols_shift_black.xml

popup_punctuation.xml

it shows that for any keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] SammysHP:
Thank you, hotaru. All is fine now, works perfect. Added a few symbols in popup I often need. But two questions: Where can I find the smilie and domain button?

//edit:

It seems to be dependent on the input-type (normal, url, im, email...).

Has anyone succeeded in using this keyboard app with Motorola Droid PRO? In my case it just doesn't show up in landscape mode (while the native multi-touch keyboard works fine). Also, does it have Russian input language? I didn't see it in settings, only English and Spanish are there, just like in the native keyboard, and that's one of the issues I'm trying to solve
[Android Apps and Games] Ronald Pagan:
The 2.1 keyboard takes over whenever I power my Nexus One down or whenever I plug in the USB. I have to go into Keyboard and Input settings re-check the Gingerbread keyboard manually whenever this happens.

Is there a way to permanently install this or is anyone else experiencing this bug?

edit: Also should say I'm running Cyanogen 6.1.1

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Today I have updated this keyboard to have English, Hebrew and Arabic layouts. I experimented with an Arabic Layout but I dont speak any Arabic so I dont know how well it would work. Either way, it should be some use to some people.

Its still an ineloquent mod, as I am only replacing the layout from another country with the layouts mentioned here, but, it works.

English = Qwerty Keyboard Layout - Choose any English in "Input Language".

Hebrew = Hebrew Layout - Choose Francais (France) in "Input Language". Has partly functional dictionary, but suggestions are displayed reversed

Arabic = Arabic? Layout - Choose Dansk (Denmark) in "Input Language". Has no dictionary.
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
did you install the keyboard to your sd card? if so, that's probably the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Ronald Pagan:
Yes I did. There's the problem. Thanks!

French AZERTY layout required. THX!

Hi!

I've just downloaded gbkb.apk from the 1st post and installed it on my brand new (and rooted) NookColor. It worked flawless, thank you!

But the problem is that I'm not able to choose the language (French) and layout (AZERTY) I need: under "Gingerbread keyboard settings / Input languages", I've got only 5 choices (English, Spanish, French-Canada, French-Switzerland, Portuguese) and none of these gives me the proper AZERTY layout.

The 1st post mentions a long list of languages which are available: how can I enable them???

TIA for you help! :)

FC on TMO myTouch4G

Stock (not rooted) tmo mt4g, Froyo 2.2.1. Tried gbkb-en.apk. Keyboard is available as an input method, seems to launch OK, but Force Closes on any keypress. Rebooted phone, switched back and forth with other keyboards, etc. No good.

Can't Ru

The same problem: I can choose many variations from these languages but I need Russian. Why it absent? In .apk I see Ru-parts.

Captivate SGH-I897 Froyo 2.2 UCJI6 leak
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
it's absent because when the keyboard requests the list of available locales from the android system, those are the languages it returns. i'm going to try making a build that uses a hard-coded list of locales instead of requesting the list from the system to see if that works.

[Android Apps and Games] adamal63:
I know this is a really stupid question, but...

I've got a GT540 with 2.1. Which file do I install. Other forums have a file gbkb-2.1.apk which is self explanatory, but here it's gbkb.apk & gbkb-en.apk.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
if you only want english, use the gbkb-en.apk. if you want other languages, use the gbkb.apk.

i used to have separate packages for 2.1 and 2.2, but once the source code was released it was pretty easy to disable the stuff that doesn't work on 2.1 without having to disable it on 2.2.

any help?
[Android Apps and Games] desean:
i believe that is a feature of the gingerbread os itself, not the gingerbread keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
well, i got it built, and went test it out... apparently if i just add to the list returned by the system (would have been a much quicker fix than hardcoding the whole list if it had worked), any locales that aren't in the list returned by the system still won't show up in the settings. and apparently adding extra locales to that list makes the ones that do show up in settings not be in alphabetical order. looks like i'll have to do it the hard way (not difficult, and i know for sure it'll work, just a lot more typing)...

This is great... Thanks!!!!!

I had tried the gb keyboard when using CM6 and loved it but I've switched to Enomther's ROM and I couldn't flash it. It would remove all system keyboards instead of just replacing!

With this I can have the GB keyboard up and running, to complement my faithful swype beta.
[Android Apps and Games] Crashspeeder:
Hopefully this will help those who, like me, were struggling to figure out why this wasn't working. This may have already been posted but I really didn't want to read through 89 pages.

I had to go to Settings-> Language & Keyboard -> check "Gingerbread Keyboard"

After that it showed up in my input options on input field long press. So far it seems VERY accurate, moreso than the stock 2.1 keyboard. Thanks OP for this. It's totally worth it.

Hi,

I'm trying to install this keyboard just with PT and English language.

So i opened the .apk in WinRAR, then i deleted XML-XX and RAW-XX folders of the languages that i don't want.

The installation was successful and the keyboard works ok with PT language, that's my primary language.

When i try to change input language on settings i receive the following message:

Process net.thinkindifferent.inputmethod.latin has stopped unexpectedly.

I've tried re-signing the .apk and the same errors occurs.

Running Froyo 2.2.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] wallla:
I don't know if it works with just unzipping with WinRar.

I use apktool to decompile, remove the raw-folders I don't need, compile again with apktool and sign it.

That works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] allsalvati:
Using apktool worked ok.

I've removed values-folder to.

I noticed an interesting situation with an ampersand symbol on this keyboard. When I install the original gbkb-en.apk from the first post of this thread - everything works perfectly, the symbol buttons look like "@", "#" "$" "%" "&" and so on. But when I disassemble gbkb-en.apk using apktool, then build it again, sign and install (without changing anything, just disassemble and build it again without adding or deleting smth) symbol keyboard after that looks like this: "@", "#" "$" "%" , "&amp". What's the problem?

[Android Apps and Games] jaykresge:
I love the keyboard, but hate the clicking noise. I'm a fan of no haptic, but having a sound when you hit the keys. On my stock Sense keyboard, it's perfect.

I think I'll stick with the Sense keyboard for now. I don't remember it sounding this bad when I ran a custom ROM that included the keyboard (Skyraider Athena). I'll check it out and see if it's the same there.
[Android Apps and Games] wallla:
You can simply change the sound-file by editing the apk.

The same as removing the unused dictionaries...
[Android Apps and Games] allsalvati:
To solve the problem just search for &amp; in xml files of the decompiled keyboard.

If the < key in the ALT keyboard is missing, search for lt;

In my case i've to change &amp; to & for & key.

And &lt; to < for < key.

Languages not working on Nexus S

Well, I bought a Nexus S on the promise that it would support Danish (well, it says so in the Android 2.3 overview...).

Anyway, long story short, Danish is not included with Nexus S.

I have tried to install this package in order to get the Danish dictionary.

Package installs correctly, I can choose the "new" keyboard, but when I go to choose what languages I want, I can only choose the ones I could choose with the original Nexus S gingerbread keyboard...

So, what to do? Can I get the Danish language pack and just add to my Nexus S?

or is there something in this pack that needs to be changed in order for language selection to work correctly?

kind regards and thank you for providing this :-)
[Android Apps and Games] ogre_x:
Exactly what files can you remove in order to keep only English and Swedish dictionary?

It I remove the raw-xx and xml-xx directories the program crashes when I try to set available languages. Do you need to edit some resource file as well?

EDIT: Seems to work using Apk Manager (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701)

I did a decompile apk, removed all raw-xx, xml-xx and values-xx folders I didn't want and Compile apk/sign/Install

Seems to work and is now only 1.5 Mb of my Desire's precious memory.
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
i think i might have figured out how to fix that. i should have a new version up sometime today or tomorrow.

it does have the smiley key.

it's in the keyboard, but your rom probably doesn't list dutch as an available locale.

i'm working on a fix for that, but it looks like it'll require reimplementing a bunch of java.util.Locale, so it might take a while.

without a logcat, no, no idea. it's probably telling you why it's force closing, and if you just look at what it's saying and tell me what it says i can probably fix it.
