Hey gang,
Many people have been wanting the Droid X/2 Multi-touch keyboard on ARMv6 froyo roms, so I went and fixed it for everyone.
This APK should work on *ALL* Froyo roms both ARMv6 and ARMv7, and may work on Eclair as well(I've not tested it)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
There are two files in the zip,
push libjni_latinime.so to /system/lib
push droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk to /system/app/
Please let me know if you find any bugs, and we'll see if we can sort them out.
Thanks to Invisiblek for the original APK.
If you like my work, think about donating to my coffee fund.
Kaos - when I go to launch it then it says Activity not found - com.android.inputmethod.latin
any ideas?
Did you reboot after installing it?
Thanks so much! I can finally stand texting on my phone
Sorry no.... (bag over head)
Downloaded and installed, works great!! Thanks!!
Sweet! I looked at this a few days ago and I couldn't get it working
Sent from my nonsensikal froyo
Thx kaos you da man
Launch and uninstall are my only options using astro
When I attempt to install, it gives me (2) buttons, "Uninstall" and "Launch". It thinks this app is already installed.... (it's not)
Is the "internal" package name the same as an existing (pre-installed) keyboard ? It comes up as "com.android.inputmethod.latin".

Yeah, the stock LatinIME.apk has the same internal name.
You may need to remove that before using this.

Using Titanium Backup I uninstalled android keyboard 2.2 from my phone then installed the new apk from kaos. Do that everyone.

Remove the stock LatinIME apks, they (can sometimes) interfere.

Edit: Spoke too soon not fixed after removal
Where is the stock APK located? this can't be removed using the regular uninstall method on the phone correct? it would need to be done via adb?

They're at /system/app/LatinIME.apk or /system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk
Yes, adb is the easiest way.
Just want to share with you guys..
I finally get the new market to work (no fc anymore) by coincidence, after flashing the new update of cyan for milestone..
Here's what ive done,
first of all, i backup the old market (mine was v1.8) using titanium..
and then i insert the new market to the "gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip" file, by replacing the old market/vending.apk
after flashing cyan, then i flash the gapps file that have been modified before.. the installation worked great..
after that, i tried it.. it's fc as usual.. then when i was going to revert it back to the old market using titanium, theres only data only, i tried that..
amazingly, it the new market worked.. i dont know how, but it worked..
im now downloading apps from the market.. well i hope it'll work for you also..
and so sorry for my bad english.. thx..

Does anyone know if the new Gingerbread leak comes with swype installed? I was trying to load the new swype 3.0 beta but I can't uninstall the old one - I'm not sure if this is because I had it installed previously or because it came installed.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Not sure but if you're rooted you should be able to uninstall Swype with something like Root Explorer or Titanium Backup. You could then install Swype Beta. Wifey's Evo came with Swype but we uninstalled it with Titanium and Swype Beta works fine on it now.

The ota has swype if your still wondering or if you still care ha
Ok I just flashed glite last night and everything is working fine except swype...I reinstalled swype off a backup and when I try to use the keyboard it instantly force closes. I even tried a different apk. Any ideas? I'm lost I like glite but if I can't get swype working ill probably go back to ota gb rooted. Also how the hell to I access the oc deamon on glite?
Have you tried fixing permissions? Also, the OC Daemon can be accessed through the Virtuous OC apk. It's somewhere in the forums >.<
Ok ill look for it. And yea I tried fixing permission, but that ran literally all night I canceled it when I woke up 8 hours later cuz I think it was just looping.

so I tried getting the beta from swype but the installer just gives me a parsing error. This is really frustrating. And looking for an apk is worse...I'm really regretting romming my phone with this rom. Not only that it freezes randomly...I did a proper install, when it does freeze and I go to pull the battery it is way hot! Anyways priority number one is swype, if I can't get that working I'm flashing my nandroid backup. All I really wanted was OC and possibly better battery life. Oh well any help?

Have not personally used G-Lite but Ive heard good things about it, Is it only with G-Lite that your battery runs hot? Sounds to me there is a problem with your phone/battery and that is causing the freezing,G-Lite is not overclocked by default so how did you get the OC deamon installed?I would try reflashing G-Lite and leave the OC out of it and see if that helps
Actually i did try that, and from my understanding it comes overclocked already to 1 ghz fresh from flashing. In either case i tried turning it up and down with setcpu, leaving the oc out, and pretty much everything i can think of to no avail. Anyways i re flashed my backup so I'm good right now but I also heard great things, but oh well guess it just didn't work out for me. Plus getting swype to work was impossible! lol i tried several different methods and had no luck so I just gave up I really wanted overclock, but I dont want to compromise swype or the reliability of the stock rom I'm running right now.
maybe when a 1.0.4 comes out? Hows xboarder mod compared to the stock ota pre-rooted?
You can try meXdroidRom! Its really fast and butter smooth, and you can choose to have the stock Android theme installed if you want.
Also comes with Swype built in too!

Sign up to get the beta at http://beta.swype.com the old installers will give you the parsing error, or try it while connected to a more reliable connection like wifi.
You will need to uninstall swype that you currently have on the device, but it will work fine.
I will install the gamut of ROM's every once in awhile, but glite keeps pulling me back because of the battery life.
I did try the website and it was a nogo used wifi too and tried like 5 times oh well. I really want it to work
I just really need my phone working for work boo...anyways so any other rock solid roms out there basically stock launcher and theme?
Also oc and battery life and swype is a must! Lol

The Virtuous OC Daemon is included in Glite 1.0.3. Edit the files in /system/etc/virtuous_oc manually, or use the OC Beater app that was linked previously. Swype is also built into the ROM; however, it automatically uninstalls itself if you're installing Glite and aren't in the US (by design).
If you delete all traces of Swype (use Titanium Backup) then install the version from the Swype website, it will work just fine.
Glite is a VERY solid ROM, and you'd be hard-pressed to find something with better battery life. A 1.0.4 version should eventually be made available that merges in Tmo/HTC's latest 2.3.4 base.
Hope that helps.

You can set meXdroidRom to use the stock launcher and theme before you flash it

I superwiped, and am living in the us and it still didn't install swype. I did get the rom off their official site so maybe it was that. The md5 checked out hmm maybe I'll give it another go. I enabled stock launcher and theme. So all good there.
I really want the updated version though...lol when!? Jk
Well reinstalled it today and wiped 3 times with superwipe and recovery wipe plus the roms autowipe. Got swype working finally I'm in the process of restoring apps. I know restoring system data is trouble but would restoring things like my wallpaper, bookmarks etc also cause problems I really. Don't wwant to setup my homescreens again! Lol
Hi.
This is a general question to all rom flashers. How do you restore apps after a clean install? I know you can use TB and other tools but for me they take too long.
I tried creating a cwm flashable zip afyer some research and it flashed fine. But some of my apps now are force closing. Some are working fine.
I dont care about apo data/settings.
I just want to install all my apps in 1 go. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
I know that TB paid version has this feature but I am sure there should be a way to manually do it as well. Any alternate method?
Thanks in advance!!

Hit thanks if I helped you!!
I use TB Pro and restore first the App and then the Data separately and i think its the best and fastest method to restore Apps after flashing an new Rom.
And it tooks less then 10 minutes and you are done .
A methode whithout TB i dont know but i maybe whit a script ?

Yeah I know about TB paid version. I think I ought to try it.
I used apk_mass installer tool previously but it doesnt work on the 9500.
I am sure there is a manual way to do it, lets hope someone points in the right direction.

I don't like paying for apps, either. But some of them are way worth it. TB Pro is for sure one that falls into the way worth it category for me.
Found this tool. Version 1.5a worked fine.
