You have to run the installer from a device with access to the android market. The installer will transfer the keyboard you get from the market to a sd card. It also puts a second installer on your sd card that you can install on your NC. Running the second installer on the NC will put the keyboard ( that is copied in the first step to your sd card ) in the system/apps directory.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Midnitte:
Well i meant when you purchase it from the market, i installed it from google market but i don't see it in /system/app/ and my /data/ folder is empty, i was under the assumption it was suppose to be in /data/app-private/ and all you had to do was move it to /system/app, restart, and it should work.

Should i just use the provided installer then?

*fixed, waiting five minutes to edit a post is stupid.

Seems a great keyboard for my NC, but need Russian. Wrote to the developer - yet no answer.

Any chance for multitouch support? Doesn't seem to support being able to hold caps key and typing.

Love this keyboard, well worth the 1 dollar.

Works well on Honeycomb v4.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Are you saying you are not able to engage the CAPS LOCK?

If that is the case, then to engage the caps lock functionality, simply double-tap the button for it (the "Up" arrow) and it should turn green when set to all caps. Double-tap the same button to turn it off.

If this is not what you meant, please explain further.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Agreed, as of this past Saturday, I am now running HC v.04 via EMMC and Thumb KB is working great so far. Will continue to test it in different apps/scenarios and report back with any issues.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Midnitte:
Ah ok, just thought it would be nice to be able to hold it too. Im more of a hold shift then use caps lock kind of guy
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] esskayess:
This is a pretty good keyboard for the nook.

This is how I managed to get it to work on a rooted nook with 1.1.0

1. Installed from the market

2. fired up the "Android Terminal Emulator"

3. typed in the following

$ su
# cp /data/app/com.beansoft.keyboardplus.apk /system/app/com.beansoft.keyboardplus.apk
# reboot

(PS don't type in the $ & # - they will appear in the terminal)

After reboot started the nookcolortools app and the keyboard showed up as an option under keyboard. Its working fine now.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] heartbeatek:
Hello, guys.

Could you please give me apk file of this app? In ukrainian google app market this kbd is not available.

Could you tell me please is it possible to use different layouts, such as russian and ukrainian?

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mike96789:
I don't think you can post it up cause it is a paid app. I can't look at my phone now, but if someone on here can post the developers email, then maybe you can contact the dev directly.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] appelflap:
It's also available on AndroidPIT.com, handango.com and pdassi.com. I keep the keyboard updated on all those markets, so essentially no difference with the android market.

A russian keyboard is not yet available, but I'm looking into it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Yes multitouch support is definitely planned for the keyboard. Can't give a ETA yet.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] appelflap:
In this thread some people posted that they had trouble with the reachability of the symbol keyboard key and the left spacebar (I think because of the design of the NC). I made the keyboard key smaller in the latest update (2.9.2). Let me know if that solved the problem.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tunwear:
Ran the installer, secondary installer, rebooted, I see /system/app/com/beansoft.keyboardplus.apk Set thumb keyboard in nookcolor tools, selected thumb keyboard from an input box, keyboard still doesn't show up.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Paul, was this done for all layouts?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
What ROM are you using?

I am now on HC v.04 EMMC and my "com.beansoft.keyboardplus-1.apk" is now working fine by just being in /data/app...no longer resides in /system/app like it did when I was rooted on stock ROM.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tunwear:
ROM: Decad3nce V1.1.0_r2

I uninstalled both installers and redownloaded it from the market, it worked without using any of the mini installers. Weird.

Now that it's working, I love it. The split keyboard is ingenious for a tablet.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] appelflap:
No, only for the 7" landscape layout.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
OK, checked it out...works like a champ. Thanks!

~ Razir
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Can you reproduce it? I would love to publish the free installer on the market, but I don't want to get users in trouble. (btw did you downloaded the keyboard on a device with an internal sd, like for example the Galaxy S devices?)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tylrdoan:
I tried copying the apk to the system/app folder but i get a warning that says you cannot paste here because the file system is read-only

Help?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rainmakerrc:
Just use Root Explorer to mount as read-write and copy the apk.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] matrix2004:
I used the installer but got a parsing error when i opened the 2nd installer. And what's the transfer apk for?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mbh87:
Really wish the button to hide the keyboard could be replaced with the comma. I always hit it on accident and its annoying. I also cannot get the period to turn into a comma when at the symbols. Otherwise I really like the keyboard.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ke5ehi:
I got mine working (finally). I coped it over to system/app, renamed the file to KeyboardPlus.apk, and installed from the app directory. I had to re-install from there before it worked. Thanks guys!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Did you rename the 2nd installer before opening it?

The transfer.apk is the keyboard apk. It gets renamed during the transfer process to avoid a replacement of another version that might already be on the sd card.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Just wondering: isn't the extra re-installation step a way to get the keyboard working without a reboot after copying it to the /system directory? That might explain that some do the extra installation and some not (but reboot).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I wish I could play with a NC myself.

When you hold the NC in landscape, on which side is the bottom with the button? When I look at pictures of the NC I understand why the accessibility of some keys an issue for the NC.

Maybe I design a special layout for the NC with its big bottom bar. If someone can draw a better layout for the NC on top of a screenshot of the original layout that would be great.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mbh87:
While in landscape the button order from left to right is, hide keyboard, symbols, space, tab, space, period/comma, enter.

If would be nice if we had an optional layout that replaced the hide keyboard button with the symbols button and put the comma where the symbols button use to be next to the space bar.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] appelflap:
And I assume that the bottom bar with the button (on the side with the cut out corner) is on the left when there are issues with left keys ?

I see..

Btw thanks for noticing the comma issue on the symbols keyboard.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] timekeeper:
Worked so well in the gingerbread cm7 nightlies I bought the app. Makes typing a real breeze. I can imagine the difficulties in getting it to work with stock rom though.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mbh87:
Heres the layout I was talking about making optional. The hide keyboard could also be the tab key, and the symbols and comma could also be switch, I just didnt feel like getting crazy with photoshop.

That's good to hear about multi-touch. This keyboard is awesome for tablets. Thanks for your work on this.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] TJNooker:
Nice work!

I just wanted to say that I was able to easily install this keyboard on my nook (Eclair, rooted 1.1.0_r1, w/ 1.1ghz OC) following the directions posted on nookdevs here. Enjoying this keyboard so far! Looking forward to seeing it developed further :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] e_eric:
Thanks for a great job on adapting this keyboard to the NC! I easily installed it this morning and will make it my main KB on the tablet. However, there's a couple issues I've encountered.

When long pressing the letter keys, I don't get a popup with special characters, even if the screen darkens normally. Is it a bug, or is there an option I forgot to check?

This is more of a request really: easier to access language setting. I switch from English to French all the time when texting and updating various online statuses and it's a pain to have to go into the options every five minutes. Maybe an optional button, or even better, the cool slidey thing the Gingerbread keyboards do?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] appelflap:
You have to disable "long press for numbers and symbols" to enable the accented character popup keyboards. I know .. bit counterintuitive :) It's a legacy thing.

I just updated the keyboard but I keep forgetting about the language switch. (and I need it myself desperately... :p I have to switch a lot between Dutch and English ) If I don't forget it I will include it in the next update.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Pyrot1c:
i simply adore this keyboard. Purchased :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tomtbone:

Love it! Installed flawlessly, followed ur instructions using installer after buying .apk from market. (NC rooted, 1.0.1)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jaderider:
It was sort of convoluted but it worked and that makes me a happy customer. I will upgrade my review in the market place. Thanks for the quick response
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cvhovey:
Tried this but could not get it to work on my NC. But it may not be a problem on your end. Every keyboard I've tried to install, even using suggestions from nookdevs, hasn't worked as every time I go into Settings > Keyboard (even with Debugging enabled) all I get is ... bam, it immediately closes Settings ... then back to Home screen.

It may be something to do with the using the "Nook Color V1.1.0" Pre-Rooted ROM to upgrade from 1.0.1, since I can't get into the Keyboard screen to make a choice. I may try reverting back to NC 1.0.1 then use Autonooter 3.0 to do the upgrade and see if that will make a difference.

Thumb Keyboard Cursor keys

I just updated to the version 2.9.4 from 2.9.2. Moved to system/app and installed. The Thumb Keyboard is working, but there are no cursor keys (along the bottom) in Portrait with standard keyboard. I have enabled the cursor keys, but no show. I tried unistalling, reinstalling, rebooting with same result. Is this currently not working with all NCs? Thanks.

Can you please provide a step by step if I am doing something wrong here?

I have astro and ES file explorer as helper apps

The market indicates that a manual upgrade is available. But, since the original install required a seperate installer apk, and a few extra steps, can someone please post a step-by-step set of instructions for the manual update procedure?

Is there any way to redefine keys ?

Something that bugs me about every keyboard is a seemingly irrational decision as to what gets a key, and what is in "ALT". :(

For example, I use "-" constantly.

Probably my order of need:

"." "," """ "-" "'" "@"
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
I haven't been on that ROM in 2 months, but did you read Post #6 in this thread for when I was on that build? Is this something you can do from your phone and try to do a backup from it, then install on your NC?

If not, then PM me if you want and I will try to help you. It really shouldn't be that bad to get installed...might just take some playing around with it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] john10101:
so... can i just install this from the market? or do i need to do something special?

thumb keyboard typing real slow

hey guys,

first off, wanna say that i love thumb keyboard and it should've came with the stock nook...

but i'm having a big problem with thumb keyboard with my rooted nook color. when i first installed the app, it worked great. after a few days, it starts to lag... that is to say, when i type using the keyboard, there is a long time period between the time i type and the time it shows up on my screen.

you can see how this makes thumb keyboard impossible to use.

i'm using thumb keyboard 4.1

thanx for any help you can give

*** update ***

i was messing around with the TKB settings and found out that the problem for the delay is because of the "choose sound" feedback option. if i put the option on "device default" everything works great, but if I chose any sound option, then the keyboard lags.

this is peculiar because I chose the "typewriter" option yesterday and it was doing fine... it was working great with sound this morning as well... however, i noticed that the sound volume was getting lower and lower for some reason, and then after that there was major lag when i typed.

i'm still gonna use thumb keyboard because it is invaluable, but i would like to have sound so i know when i've finished typing.

please help...

I want my Thumb Keyboard back!

I hope someone is willing and able to help me. I've searched and cannot find an answer to my question.

I purchased and had been using and loving this keyboard for a while. Then, last week, I wiped and updated to 1.2, then rooted again. And now, Thumb Keyboard doesn't show up in the market to redownload. It shows up on my phone in the market.

How can I get my Thumb Keyboard back?

Thanks for your help!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] elwood1229:
Yes, many are having similar issues with various apps. The "new" Android Market has seemingly randomly decided that several apps are not compatible with NC even though they work fine. As yet, no one I have seen has been able to explain why this is except that the new market is now "device aware" and there has not been much discussion about it. The only solution I am aware of is to go into settings>manage applications>all apps and uninstall updates for the market app. This will roll back the market app temporarily to the old version and usually allows missing apps to be seen and then installed or updated. I am not aware of any pitfalls to this approach but try at your own risk. Make sure you are only uninstalling updates to the Android Market app and not some other app.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] stolenmoment:
This is a wish-list item; it's one of those things that might be easy, it might be hard, but it's the only annoyance I have with this keyboard, and it's really not the keyboard's problem.

I have the status bar at the bottom of my screen, and when I'm typing, about half the time I reach for the spacebar, I hit the status line instead. I even removed the notification button from the line to keep it from taking a couple of seconds to slowly reveal itself. (can anybody speed that up? I have all animations turned off)

I also moved the soft buttons to the right side for better access with my right thumb (I'm left-handed, so I tend to hold my NC in my right hand). In this configuration, touching the status bar replaces the notification icons with the date.

After all that setup, my wish is, can you turn the notification area of the status bar into a spacebar? This would free up a lot of screen real estate and help reveal more of the screen when the KB is up.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
turn on the deadzone in the tablet tweak options, it'll make it so the notification bar will only activate at the edges and not in the middle...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] stolenmoment:
Ok, let's see how well it works for me. Yep, the notification window doesn't pop when I miss the spacebar, and I can still pop it up when I want to.

Nice, thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] stolenmoment:
I also shrunk the keyboard size and grew the spacebar size, which has also helped.

Thanks for the great keyboard!
[Fascinate General] Bob-o:
For some reason I can't turn on bluetooth. Here what I did. Flashed all in one dl09. Rooted. Pushed cwr through odin. Made back up. Flashed supah clean v.4. Flashed blackaosp theme. Flashed dl09 theme fix. Now bluetooth won't turn on. Anyone have any ideas to try? Thanks

Edit: did not flash any kernels...yet.

Bob
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
It's recommended to use a dl09 compatible kernel, and if you haven't flashed one, that means you're probably on a DI01 kernel, which might account for your BT not working (and probably other things you haven't noticed yet).
[Fascinate General] Bob-o:
I thought the dl09 all in one pack for odin had the kernel? Ok....now to flash a kernel. I have Imnuts -50 uv novoodoo kernel on my sd card. I may have to try it. Do any of the all in one packs for odin have the kernels in them?
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
Actually, I've no clue about that (not used an all-in-one pack before). I assumed (possibly wrongly) that you were still on the original kernel.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
If I manually enter a phone number, or get a call from a number not in my conacts list and select Add to Contacts... nothing happens. I'd expect that a space for the name would pop up, as it did in my other phones. It seems that it just adds the number with no name attached.

What am I missing? :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
Your sig says you run Bionix V. So do I. I can say with confidence when I manually enter a phone number in the dialer and hit "Add To Contacts", that the Contacts list comes up. You can then select an existing contact from the scroll to assign this number to, or hit the big PLUS sign beside the search dialog box to add a new contact.

If this isn't what yours shows, then it's safe to say something is amiss with your Bionix V install. Best of luck.

[G Tablet General] jwischka:
Ok. Here's the skinny.

First, I am running Vegan Beta 5, and this worked for me. It might work for you to. It might also screw your tablet up. Them's the breaks. The nature of the fix means it shouldn't cause serious issues, but hey, you never know. Make a backup.

You should choose the version for your ROM. If someone running another rom wants to send me your build.prop file, I'll incorporate it into another ROM-specific update.

Flash this file, and you should have working rotation and such on Google Maps 5.

Let me know if there are any problems.

Update (2/1): Added fix for TNT Lite 4.2.1 (thanks atakapa)

Update (2/1): Added fix for VEGAn with Swype included (thanks deep_powder2012)
[G Tablet General] debh945:
I flashed this but it didn't work. Still no multitouch rotation for me in maps.
