Is there any version of the apk that has orange replaced with green? I really don't like the orange.

Sorry if its already been asked, the thread is 56 pages long.
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
that's correct.

i'll add implementing chinese input to my list of things to do with the keyboard, but it's pretty far down on the list at this point. right now my highest priority on this is getting a build out with voice input working on android 2.1... and then i plan to figure out a good way to build it without the whole android build system.
[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
I'll try that when I get home from work. I'm not very optimistic though. :P

Thanks a lot!

Works fine on HTC Desire (german language DE)
[Android Apps and Games] JF4W:
This is a very nice keyboard but i prefer swype.
[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
Tried your method. Still doesn't work. :/

One question with LCD Density, you did not set to another density, right?

Just stick to 240 and "Apply (Restart)", that's it?

I've already had loads of trouble trying to get my phone back up after messing around with the density thing earlier and I really don't want to go through that again.
[Android Apps and Games] wallla:
That's right.

Worked for me.

Working on Intercept and G1

I now have the 2.1 version of the keyboard apk running on a Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept and on a G1 that is running CyanogenMod 6.0.

Keyboard appears to be working fine and so far appears to be better to use than the default keyboard on those phones. :) The popup that shows which key I pressed seems to disappear faster than the default keyboard does though.

Cut & Paste

I've got a stock D1, not rooted. Installed the keyboard fine. It works ok too, but I don't seem to get the same type of cut & paste process as in the video. There's no "selector" or anything. All I get is a double tap and the word is highlighted. I long press and get the option to cut and then long press again to get the option to paste, but no selector to move along the text.

Is this something missing from the DL or is there another setting I'm not seeing?

Thanks for the help.

[Android Apps and Games] :
I installed this in my Droid Incredible (running CM6) and it is working great; it shows up in the same size as the stock Android keyboard. I'm wondering if the apk only works for certain screen displays/resolutions and that's why it's showing small on some phones.

Anyone has a link to the new features of this phone? Doing a Google search now LOL.

Keyboard is too small in portrait mode on DX, unfortunately. Otherwise, it works great.

What happens when trying to install the 2.1 apk when running 2.2? Assuming it won't install but part of me wants to try it just to see if the keyboard is any bigger.
[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
Well you know you guys could try Smart Keyboard Pro.

It's a really solid keyboard, and very well worth the price to pay on the market. It's the first and only app I've paid and I have not regretted since. Go check it out.

I downloaded the 2.2 and newer file but it force closes on me every time i try to touch a key. I dont feel like downloading the 2.1 version when i have android 2.2. Is there anyway to make the 2.2 and newer version work for the glacier?

Still issue with too small keys

Problem:

I just downloaded the new version, removed every dictionary except German and English, repacked, signed and installed.

However, the buttons sill are way too small, just like with the previous version.

Additionally, no haptic feedback. (Just for info; I don't use it normally)

Device:

Motorola Milestone

ROM:

Stock Android (no Blur, Touchwiz, ...) 2.1-update1, rooted

Logcat:

No logcat when typing, except

ive just tried the new version on 2.2 legend and it doesnt even open anymore just fc as soon as you ghoose gingerbread keyboard. Keep up the good work .Oh ive been asking a few devs to port the gingerbread dialler,phone app to 2.2 ,no one as evr tried this for non root as far as i know,i love stock ,its way better than sense but i dont want to perm root and change my rom
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
thanks!

i'm looking into the haptic feedback issue... for the small keyboard, is there any "ro.sf.lcd_density" or "qemu.sf.lcd_density" (or anything else with "sf.lcd_density") if you do getprop?

if there's "ro.sf.lcd_density" but no "qemu.sf.lcd_density", try using setprop to set "qemu.sf.lcd_density" to the same value as "ro.sf.lcd_density". if that makes the keyboard work, i should be able to add code to the keyboard to do that.
[Android Apps and Games] w100waj:
I was experiencing the small keyboard issue so I tried the suggestion from above and now the keyboard is the normal size. The setprop did not seem to work for me so I manually added the qemu.sf.lcd_density=240 and rebooted.

Thanks for the fix I have been trying for over a week to find a solution!
[Android Apps and Games] wallla:
As you assumed, I only had [ro.sf.lcd_density]: [240].

I added qemu.sf.lcd_density 240, via setprop, but it didn't help.

However, the old solution via the app LDCDensity still worked.

Then I tried it like w100waj by manually editing build.prop, did a restart and that did the trick.

Samsung Vibrant 2.1 issue

I had the last 2.1 gingerbread keyboard when it just came out and it was small and the vibrate didn't work! I then saw that you had an update so i uninstalled the last keyboard i had and reinstalled it. the keyboard is still kind of small but that does not really matter for me, its more of the vibrate that doesn't work that really bugs me!

~Samsung Vibrant

~not rooted with 2.1, JI6 if that matters

~touchwiz

~small and no vibrate
[Android Apps and Games] primatage:
Just wanted to say thanks for this, it's actually more useful to have than the pre-packaged 2.3.1 keyboard in Gingerbread, since it won't autoload and override Swype after every reboot :)

Crashes on myTouch 4G.
[Android Apps and Games] SheerazRaza:
I have tried it on my HTC Desire works absolutely fine, but one thing which troubles me is that the keyboard doesn't support numeric characters on the hold button at the very main screen as on the original one. I don't know whether there's some way to do that or not, but it's the only issue which forced me to uninstall it back to the previous (original one)
[Android Apps and Games] kenshinta:
Alright, I re-did how I installed it (forgot the first version was pushed to /ssytem/app, I installed the newer one), then ran it once, then crashed, then on its next running instance haptic now works!

It still crashed when I select another language in its settings, expected since I did strip them all out though.

Good job.!

[Android Apps and Games] witzend:
Finally, after doing setprop, and installing the latest version (12/27) it finally works on a stupid Motorola Milestone running 2.1 Update-1 rooted using Androot, have been trying for days using LCD density and lots of install, uninstalls!

This keyboard is great! Great Job Hotaru!

I did notice one thing though, the "characters" displayed on the keyboard looks smaller than "stock" and on demo vids

For some strange reasons, it started to show the 'characters" in correct size now.
[Android Apps and Games] UCFJake:
Thanks!

Thank you so much for this variant. My Nexus One running stock 2.2 FRG83D is teetering on the edge of the memory-low warning daily and I was concerned with the original file being so large due to all the language packs. I can verify that at least so far I have not gotten the keyboard to force close aside from trying to select a language in the options. I can confirm on the N1 that haptic feedback works perfectly with no restart necessary.
[Android Apps and Games] kenshinta:
Using on an mdpi screen (samsung spica)

1. The keys seem a bit shorter than usual;

2. The pop preview for ampersand (&) shows "&" though when selected "&" shows correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] BozQ:
It works perfectly now! Rejoice! Thank you very much hotaru! :-)

One very minor cosmetic bug I noticed though. When I click and hold the period key "." to bring up the list of punctuations, the "&" key is replaced by "&amp". But the "&" is the key being inserted into the text.

It's very minor and cosmetic and it doesn't break this otherwise great keyboard! Just thought I'd let you know.

On a Milestone, with non rooted stock Android.
[Android Apps and Games] hotaru:
should be fixed now.

i plan on working on that next.

a reminder for everyone else: if you don't post logcat output, then as far as i'm concerned it didn't crash.

that should be easy to fix... there are two parts to the haptic feedback fix, and i assumed they were both only needed on 2.1... when apparently one half of it is needed on android 2.1 and the other half is needed on certain devices, regardless of android version... should be a quick fix when i get home later today.
