Hotaru -

First of all, THANK YOU very much for getting this keyboard to work so nicely. I much prefer it to the stock keyboard on the Droid X!

The latest versino I installed was a few pages back that someone else had posted with all the dictionaries except english removed. But of course, by now that is an old version and it looks like there are more updates coming from you later today. Is there any chance that you can also put an English-only version up when you make the changes to the apk? I don't know how much time is involved in removing the other languages, resigning, etc, so if it would slow you down too much, I understand. I have never programmed or messed with apk's, so I'm a little leary of trying it out myself. But I know that I, and I'm sure quite a few others, don't need the other dictionaries...
[Android Apps and Games] luhu:
can you add a button to hide the the keyboard?

like on the HTC keyboard?

(left down corner)
[Android Apps and Games] WhistlingDog:
Just press the BACK soft-button, or long press the MENU button to hide the keyboard.

BTW, great job, hotaru. I'm liking it more than SwiftKey, the new version of which has small, hard-to-read letters on its keys.

Kudos to you!

<running great on my non-rooted Droid Eris>
[Android Apps and Games] heartagramm:
Lol, I didn't expect to use it that way as Samsung stock-fw has the Samsung keyboard with the finnish dictionary and the letters ä and ö are in the middle row after the letters J, K, L, Ö, Ä. Like that. Try to imagine that you'd have to press two essential letters for a second to appear on the screen. In the long run, you'll be SO frustrated as was I when I had to do the same long press to get Ä and Ö in Darky's GBKB in 7.0 and 7.5. THAT's why it is so essential that the Ä's and Ö's are

always

visible.
[Android Apps and Games] kolyshkin:
Is it possible that you incorporate Russian word frequency list? I have created one just for this purpose (using dictionaries/sample.xml from LatinIME Android git), it is available from here: kir.sacred.ru/freq-dict-ru (please add http : / / prefix, I am not able to post links).

Please let me know if you need something else from me.

Update1: the description says that it comes with dictionary for RU, but I don't see it when using the keyboard (nor in the .apk file -- looks like it should be in res/raw-ru/ directory which is not there).

Update2: I've seen from git that you only adeed russian dictionary 4 days ago or so; I must be using the older version. The dictionary is of very poor quality (very few words, some are non-existent like all the Cyrillic letters etc.). Is it possible that you will submit my version (which was converted from the serious source http : / / bokrcorpora.narod.ru/frqlist/frqlist-en.html)?
[Android Apps and Games] jschoef:
The letters are small on the Droid 2 but the keyboard is not small anymore. The letters appeared big then went back to small on there own.
[Android Apps and Games] microsnook:
Is it possible to have this keyboard with the keys sized a little bit bigger? That would be fantastic :)

Thank you so much for fixing this for the D2!
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
Wow perfect. Thanks for fixing everything.

Are you going to continue with the development of the keyboard or was your purpose of doing this just to emulate the exact gingerbread keyboard that is provided in 2.3? The reason why I'm asking is that I'm wondering if you are open to adding new features that don't appear in the stock version.

Coming from Smart Keyboard Pro, I would love swipe gestures for example. Not sure if that's even possible though.
[Android Apps and Games] zzen:
hi, thanks for the keyboard. really like it very much.

1 issue is that the haptic feedback is still not working on my GALAXY S GT-I9000, FW 2.2, BUILD FROYO.DXJPA, TOUCHWIZ.

i would really appreciate if you could solve this in the next update.

thanks again!!

Edit: THANKS THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!!
[Android Apps and Games] luhu:
What files have I to modify or delete when I want delete some dictionaries to make the size smaller?

The "res/xml-.." and "res/raw-.." ?!

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
As mentioned previously, this happens on my Milestone too.

I got around this problem by turning on/off the settings button.
[Android Apps and Games] moogie77:
It appears that the Swedish keyboard layout has the proper ÅÄÖ keyboard layout. If this could be fixed for the Finnish keyboard too, that would be perfect!
[Android Apps and Games] Rolando88:
HTC Desire HD

When I touch a key on the keyboard then im getting error message that proces has been stopped...
[Android Apps and Games] meterpod:

Downloaded the latest version onto the myTouch 4G. It will FC everytime I attempt to touch the keyboard.

[Android Apps and Games] Cares:
It would be nice if you added "version" numbers so I know if I'm up to date or not...thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] 95EGCoupeVTEC:
the "renamed" version needs to be the same size as the original one. the new keyboard is smaller. also, will the new version work for both 2.1 and 2.2?
[Android Apps and Games] MattFerg:
1. Haptic feedback does not work on my device.

2. Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) OLED

3. Modaco Custom rom R4, 2.1.

I just wanted to add that the fixes for the small keyboard issue have worked on my device, with many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] MattFerg:
Ignore this post.
[Android Apps and Games] MattFerg:
Yes, it works with both Eclair (2.1) and Froyo (2.2).
[Android Apps and Games] alphonzolio:
The haptic feedback issue was fixed with my galaxy s running stock eclair. Today I updated to official froyo and now haptic feedback isn't working. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall? If so, can you tell me how to remove the keyboard from my device? I've tried browsing through the files but I've found nothing in terms of removing the apk. Thanks again hotaru, we really appreciate your work!
[Android Apps and Games] cleaton:
It is driving me crazy that not all languages are showing.... Anyone else has this issue??
[Android Apps and Games] WhistlingDog:
Not sure what you mean "not all languages are showing." On my non-rooted Eris running the OEM 2.1, I can see the list of supported languages (all unchecked) but as I unfortunately don't need any but the default English, it doesn't really matter for me. What do you mean that not all languages are showing?
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
haptic feedback should work on froyo now.

might be fixed now. try it and let me know.

should be fixed now.

ok, i copied the swedish layout for finnish... let me know if there's anything that needs to be changed on it.

i've added it, thanks!

the list of locales comes from the android system. i'm planning on trying to figure out how to add more locales to the list.

it only takes a couple minutes. i've posted an english-only version with the latest updates.

i'm open to adding new features, but adding features is very low priority right now... i'm going to concentrate on bug fixes, then on getting voice input working on android 2.1, and adding new features will come after that. right now, swipe gestures and icelandic input are the only two things keeping me using smart keyboard pro as my main keyboard... so i'll probably want to add swipe gestures eventually.

apparently the service for the keyboard is being killed... are you running some kind of task killer? if so, that's probably the problem. if not, can you get a logcat starting before you switch the input method to gingerbread keyboard?
[Android Apps and Games] hyatari:
Letters still small on droid 2. Again it still seems like it happens after using kb in landscape mode then the letters go small in portrait. Letters seem to always look small in landscape tho while they sometimes look normal in portrait.
[Android Apps and Games] microsnook:
You should make the keys a bit bigger :)

Thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Nice keyboard. Works well and has a large number of languages with it.

I was looking through the archive to remove languaged I wont use and noticed a folder called "raw-he" which I would guess means Hebrew? Except I cannot select Hebrew as a language.

However, if I am mistaken and that does not mean that Hebrew is meant to be available, would you be willing to add it if I could track down the language files?
[Android Apps and Games] tonyleeloveyou:
Please add Chinese support, i know it's harder than others

but i think u can got this...thank u veeeeeeeeeeeeery much...
[Android Apps and Games] chris21176:

[Android Apps and Games] moogie77:
I can confirm that the Finnish layout works properly know. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] botolo78:
Seembs perfect on my SGS (Darky's 7.0) with italian dictionary. Vibrations now works.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] trajano:
One way of doing it without any specific LCD density apps is to use propedit to edit the build.prop file to add qemu.sf.lcd_density=240

This one works on the XT720
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
well then i'm not sure what's going on there... the fix for the key size is already a really ugly hack to work around the android system on certain devices being really screwed up.

if hebrew doesn't show up as a language, that means it's not being reported as a supported locale by the android system on your phone. i'm trying to figure out a good way to work around this.

also, the hebrew dictionary didn't seem to be working when i tested it on my phone. i've removed the dictionaries that weren't working (EL (no suggestions), HE (no suggestions), HU (english suggestions), and UK (missing layout)) from the package for now to cut the size down a bit until i can figure out what i have to do to get them working. i did add a hebrew layout, and that seems to work fine.

i'll add that to my feature request list, but it might take a while for me to get to it.
[Android Apps and Games] isidar:
Hi :)

very good this is finally the first one working perfect,

only one thing ...

I am missing the Spanisch diccionary, ... I only tried Spanisch (Spain) any idea where I can get it and how to install it ???

many tks

:)
[Android Apps and Games] st91e4a:
Please add Hungarian layout to the keyboard if you can. The dictionary is not so important, just the layout. Thanks for your work!

Edit: I can see a Hungarian layout in the locale list, but it's only an English one with some minor modifications. Most of the necessary accented letters not visible, and there is a lot of useless letters.
[Android Apps and Games] zxhian:
thanks for this -- confirmed workin on my optimus one
[Android Apps and Games] smohanv:
Works fine. Even though the letters are tiny it somewhat different from the stock keyboard (SGS) and I love.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] FileEdit:
I'm also looking to have Hebrew on this keyboard. Since you managed to get the keyboard layout already, isn't it possible to copy the dictionary and/or other related files from "smart keyboard" or "any soft keyboard"?
[Android Apps and Games] Bubisch:
Yay, now the size is correct on my galaxy tab! Than you for this update!
[Android Apps and Games] manniakk:
the new version works flawlessly now on my SGS :)

officially you are my new hero now :)

[Android Apps and Games] jschoef:
Confirming that the small letter problem still exists in the Droid 2.
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Thanks for the explanation. Personally I am not concerned with the dictonary as I have never found them useful on a full sized keyboard. But you are right, the rom I am currently using doesnt have hebrew as one of the selectable localles.

Still, Its a step closer to getting it working on a custom rom, so thanks :-)
[Android Apps and Games] fastjoe23:
No signs on the keys

Just tried the new version (2010-12-28) on my Archos 101 Internet Tablet. Nicely this time i had no freeze. Everything works fine. Except there are no letters on the keys. Just small little dots. Is this anything i can change in the settings?

Thanks for creating this package. Seems to be a lot of work. And anybody is just complaining :-) (same with me, sorry)
[Android Apps and Games] lamplat007:
Same here. Otherwise it works perfectly
[Android Apps and Games] z3120:
Hi, in your tab, the size is correct without you run the lcd density ?

coz in mine, the size now is better compared to the previous version, but compared to the one after I run lcd density changer, the size still a bit smaller (but acceptable to use it)
[Android Apps and Games] olson:
Finally got the dutch language working on Darky 7.5

1. Go to applications.

2. select all tab.

3. Select gingerbread keyboard (install from darky)

4. stop the app and remove data.

5. now install the apk from this dev.

6. in the keyboard setting screen, a 2nd gingerbread is listed.

7. in any app, selected the 2nd gingerbread as default keyboard

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Water_Bird90:

Thx haptic feedback working on SGS...:D
[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
Hi, I really appreciate the info.

However, I'm sure there are people like me who have absolutely no idea how this is done. And I won't want to derail this current thread. Would you kindly lead us to a page to introduce newbies like myself into this world of Android? :)
[Android Apps and Games] jondeckert:
Now the keyboard is larger but the vibrate on keypress doesn't work though it did before with the smaller keyboard.

thanks joe
[Android Apps and Games] Chad_Petree:
HMMM the keyboard works on my milestone with cyanmod 2.2.1 but the keyboard is not so "high res" it looks good but the one i had before definetely had more "definition" , its like this is a lower res/quality version :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
it shouldn't take up more than the size of the apk plus a couple hundred KB. definitely not anywhere near 23MB.
[Android Apps and Games] SirRobin78:
Thank you for the new version! Vibrating ist now perfect on x10 but the size is again very small. lcd density changer is needed again, i think?
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
i'll add a hungarian layout in the next release.

smart keyboard uses a different format for the dictionaries. the dictionary that was in it (and not working) was from any soft keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] Bubisch:
Yeah, LCD density didn't even work on my tab. I don't know, if this is the full size the keyboard should have, but it works perfectly for me. Even if this might not be 100% (wich i dunno), it didn't make me think anymore that this isn't full size.

EDIT: Even vibration works with this new version. I'll attach a screenie for the size.
[Android Apps and Games] alphonzolio:
I installed the apk initially with Sideload Wonder Machine. Then when the update was released I re-installed to get haptic feedback. Now that I've updated to Froyo, haptic feedback isn't working. Can someone tell me how to remove it so I can try to re-install again and not have 3 instances of it on the device? They all show up on the menu, not a huge deal, just not very neat.

I've browsed through the folders on the windows file explorer and googled around trying to figure out how I might remove it, and I've come up with nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Grabbed the newest english only version...still working flawlessly for me on my m860.

sent from my streamlined Huawei Ascend
[Android Apps and Games] UncleMike:
Thanks for the effort. If you're referring to inserting a corrected word in the middle of the original word, instead of replacing the original word, the problem still exists on my rooted Droid with the current version of the keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] compteregistres:
You did'nt include CA-es dictionary :(, Can you include it in the next release?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] HBS27:
Haptic feedback doesnt work on Froyo.
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
it does work.

you didn't give me one to include. i can't just will one into existence and don't have time to make dictionaries for all languages.

it works on my htc hero and on the sdk emulator. are you sure you're using the current version?
[Android Apps and Games] incredibl:
Ever since I installed this my battery has been awful...worse than normal. Could this be the reason? I have a Droid Incredible 2.2, not rooted. I'm losing about 20% an hour on average since I installed the keyboard I'd say.
[Android Apps and Games] z3120:
yup, this is the one that I meant about smaller but acceptable/nice enough to use ^^

thanks for the screenshot. at least I know I am not mistaken ^^

for lcd density, for 1st time i set to something other than 240, restart, then set it back to 240.

subsequently everytime after restart, I need to apply lcd density to 240 (no need to set to something else) and restart :(

so, with the new default size, it's good as no need for lcd density every time i restart ^^
[Android Apps and Games] SamsungVibrant:
No option to choose gingerbread keyboard.

Samsung Vibrant

Running leaked Stock Froyo 2.2 JL5, currently running Adw launcher

downloaded apk, put onto my internal sd, clicked on it, installed it, went to input method, but no option to choose this keyboard... only options are swype and samsung keyboard.

sorry I don't know how to generate a logcat.

Any advice why it isn't showing up on my input methods?
[Android Apps and Games] albertdc:
I'm cuious about this too - the first time I installed the keyboard I also had horrible battery lift and one of the Android OS listings in the battery performance settings area was off the charts as far as % of battery usage. I got rid of the keyboard for a few days (uninstalled completely). Now that I have the latest version, of the Eng-only keyboard, I have not seen a battery problem and the battery usage listings are back to normal.

Try uninstalling, redownloading, and reinstalling. If you don't need other languages, try the English only version. Worked for me, but I have no idea why or if it was all coincidence.
[Android Apps and Games] dioshy:
Successfully installed both the multi-language and the English-only versions, but both FC on me on my stock/non-rooted phone. Curious thing: the multi-language FCs right away when I touch a text field, but the English-only FCs a sec or two after the keyboard opens, or as soon as I hit a key.

I don't know how to search for the log file that was requested in order to troubleshoot. Sorry. :-s If someone can explain this to me I will provide it. Thx!
[Android Apps and Games] SamsungVibrant:
how are you guys installing this, it isn't working on my vibrant, with 2.2.
[Android Apps and Games] Black-Star:
Works perfectly well on my Galaxy S JPX 2.2.1

For those who didn't get the haptic feedback to work you have to enable it in the keyboard option first, cause it not in default
[Android Apps and Games] Bubisch:
I even think its better in that size. I'm happy with it that way.
[Android Apps and Games] Coffei:
Today i installed the keyboard (deleted all languages except cs, cz and en) and works really nice. The only FC i get is when i try to choose languages (in the settings page). So now I am stuck with Cz dict. Suprised me that it's smaller than stock, but works just great...
[Android Apps and Games] luhu:
same here :(
[Android Apps and Games] phrozen87:
Working much better on Droid 2. The keys were a bit small in portrait so I had to resize them in the xml, but the landscape mode is working great now. Thanks for the fix!
[Android Apps and Games] Grenad':
The English keyboard now works correctly on my Archos 43 Internet Tablet, i found a small glitch : Keys are not showed on the screen, i saw "Invisible" keys (You can't see the letters on the keyboards), but i also found a way to force Android to display them : Select another Keyboard and reselect the Gingerbread keyboard and the keys are now showed, but if you use the accelerometer, the keys are reseted and become "Invisible" again.
[Android Apps and Games] Jaffacakelover:
I think I have the latest version (28-12-10 - is the link in the first post kept up to date?), and the same issue remains; when using messaging in landscape mode the input box is 2 pixels tall. :-/

(image on my previous post)

Turns out the long grey bar with the android poloroid on it is on my portrait mode too, so that must be what's shoving the input box down out of sight. It's some sort of contacts shortcut - I think it's part of the Orange skin. Anyone know what it's called, and how to turn it off?
[Android Apps and Games] Flo95:

Would a dictionary from a standard Samsung Keyboard help?

This Rom has both Swype and stock Samsung Keyboards in Hebrew and Arabic.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835138

Although since I am using a custom Rom that does not have Hebrew or Israel as a locale, this wont help me (For now I have to use AnySoftKeyboard). But it might help people who can access the Hebrew or Arabic layouts dictionaries... assuming the dictionary formats are usable for you.
[Android Apps and Games] SamsungVibrant:
Question Please

Ok I'll try asking again, hopefully someone this time will be kind enough to help.

-Samsung Vibrant

-Leaked stock Samsung/T-Mo Froyo JL5

-Adw Launcher

-Don't know how to generate logcat.

I've tried both apk downloads.

Place it on my internal sd

Just tap it, and I install it

Install completes

I go to input method, but there is no gingerbread keyboard to choose, only swype and my samsung keyboard.

Any suggestions?

Edit

Nevermind, I figured it out.

After you install, you can't just go to input method and choose gingerbread keyboard.

You have to first go to settings, locale and text, check mark gingerbread keyboard, then go to input method and choose gingerbread keyboard.

Edit again:

Voice input doesn't work, and I'm running 2.2 as listed above. Says "couldn't connect" when I click the mic. :confused::confused:
