I could not find the keyboard in the bloatware anywhere in gingerblur this is the only keyboard that is sized properly for our phones that i have found can somone post a link???
Do you know the name of it? I think it might be in the GreyBlur zip but I am unsure, as he might simply not remove it in the first place.
Its in the original post for gingerblur 3.5...an apk is posted.

Have you tried Smart Keyboard Pro, with the "Rapid" skin? It actually looks very similar to our stock keyboard, but better. You can also use Better Keyboard 8 with the "Rapid" skin, it's pretty good, but Smart Keyboard Pro is pretty much the most feature rich keyboard I've used.
Here's my problem with the Atrix stock keyboard: I have a suspicion that it's not really multitouch. Try typing the word "what" several times as fast as you absolutely can. You'll see all the key pop-ups flash above each key, but more often than not, you'll only get the word "hat" or some other missing letters. It seems like if you overlap key presses, it misses some of the presses.
i liked the stock keyboard because it just seemed more accurate when typing also
Installed the APK rebooted and the keyboard isnt there?
Try rebooting one more time. You did do the CWM zip update?
I haft to install it in recovery is what your saying? what i did was extracted the .zip and installed the apk

Just download and install apk straight to ur phone then to use it...go to settings >> language and keyboard >> input ... or something like that and select multi touch. It will be the original atrix keyboard.

You should install the .zip file with System Recovery just like you would install Ginger/GreyBlur. It may work without this but just to be sure.
Thanks will try

I am currently running [PORT] TF3D V3 By Drizzy for 32B on my MT3G.
I have noticed that in any console app, be it ConnectBot, or SU File Manager & Terminal, I am literally unable to enter a number.
When I longpress the "e/3" I get "e3" as output
When I press the "12#" button The VK doesnt switch to number/symbol mode
This isn't a big enough problem for me to try flashing other ROMs and testing, but thought I could put the communal brainpower here on XDA to try and narrow down a solution (unless it's unique to me lol)
Thanks in advance for the help!
you need to use the default android keyboard in these applications. The HTC keyboard does not work correctly. Currently i have not been able to find a resolution to that problem but noticed the same thing. Switch keyboards and works just fine.

Ok, thanks, glad to hear it's not just me going crazy.
The ROM I am currently using does not have the android keyboard. Any idea what APK and ODEX are named that I would need to pull out of a stock cupcake ROM in order to install the default android keyboard?
Well, I found LatinIME.apk in another ROM, but when trying to Install I get this error:
Application not Installed
Android keyboard could not be installed on this phone.
wtf?

maybe you were not mounted as rw? Sorry, but I'm not that familiar with using the terminal.

Worked for me.. using the latest androidiani.. had to apply that LCD density fix for a normal sized ginger keyboard ..
Still thinking swype is the best virtual keyboard though
I can open that zip just fine. But anyways, I downloaded from http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/06/download-gingerbread-keyboard-for-rooted-devices/ and it worked fine, but still had to do the density fix.
Is this suppose to be multi touch? I hold shift and press a letter and it just toggles Caps...
Since this is just a rip from 2.3, I guess you can't do the feature where they hold Spacebar to switch to another language right? EDIT: Nvm, found it in settings, no language I want to switch to anyways lol
So does this only work on 2.2 ROMs and/or G.O.T.'s 2.2.1 Open Recovery? Or will it work on 2.1 ROMs as well (like the Telus I'm running)?

Are you sure this keyboard is multitouch ? it seems not i tried pressing alt+ a to get the 1 and nothing happened, also the spanish prediction DOES NOT work
thanxs! works great
What I see is VERY small keyboard.
How can i change it to larger one?
To anyone who's using this, does this have an "enter" key in portrait mode? I only see a "smiley" in the videos, and I find a line break infinitely more useful than an emoticon.

You're right, that seems like a pretty glaring oversight. Though it won't bother me too much, since in portrait I tend to use the physical keyboard.
*edit*
that actually only seems to be in 'messaging' - try it in browser and it's replaced with a 'GO' button
ugh, it returns to a small keyboard after every restart.

Good morning all!
I've tried to search both on this forum and on google in general, but I'm having trouble finding a good answare to my question.
I recently changed from a SD ROM to Pongsters great NAND build. Had to use DFT, due to problems with the CWM. I'm now on Gingerbread - excellent!
Unfortunately I live in this weird country called Norway and we use an alphabet with three more letters (Æ, Ø and Å). Is there anyway I could get these three letters into my gingerbread keyboard, any language pack?
I found this link by searching, but I'm not sure how to install it. It seems like i need CWM.
My temporary solution was to download a 2.3 modification of the "Scandinavian keyboard". It works, but I'm loosing the famous gingerbread keyboard.
A dictionary would too, almost be overkill, awesome.
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi mate, maybe this package can help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202
the above is an add on keyboard, you will need to switch to it through keyboard selection.
Otherwise you can push the content of your CMW zip with adb (i suggest to pull the original files before).
adb remount
(optional, gets the original file from your phone) adb pull /system/app/LatinIME.apk "local Location" (ex. c: or /home/user/desktop)
adb push "replacement APK file location" /system/app/
(optional, gets the original file from your phone) adb pull /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so "HDD Location" (ex. c: or /home/user/desktop)
adb push "replacement lib file location" /system/lib/
then reboot and you will use the new KB.
Cheers.
The keyboard looks nice, but as far as I can see there are no Norwegian (NO) alternate.
Anyhow, the ADB-way seems interesting. Never tried, or even heard, about ADB before, but that's why we have tutorials and forums, right?
Downloading the SDK at this very moment.

Once you go ADB you won't back.
It's not that difficult, if you have some nerd past it will be very easy, otherwise it's plenty of tutorials, just follow them and you won't do it wrong.
Just a small hint,
with CWM always backup before.
w/out CWM always titanum backup.
Cheers.
Maybe a long shot, but have u tried SwiftKey? It supports the Norwegian language, u can set it to two language packages so it shows suggestions in both languages and no need to switch anymore.
I use it German/English and it is IMO just awesome. In particular after a few days using it it is predicting almost whole sentences by it's own.
Just a suggestion without messing with pushing commands ect. ;-)

I'm new to the android ecosystem but I've always been jealous of swype users, is it possible to port this feature to the nook touch?
Just replace apk file of swype with default keyboard using Root Explorer in system/app
I tried installing a keyboard apk file into system/app file by copy and paste with ES file explorer but it said failed. is there a special app or procedure I need to do this with? and where did you get the apk file? I would like a keyboard with directional arrows (for spreadsheets) and numbers for faster input. Thanks
Are you sure system is r/w?
Sent from my GT-I5700 using Tapatalk
roryn3kids using ES file explorer use the following instructions and you'll have access to r/w root files:
1. Scroll down to Root Settings and enable Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Not sure if this next step was needed but I did it anyway
2. Once again from the setting menu click on File Settings and enable "Show Hidden Files"
then copy the file from your data\app folder to your system\app folder
Swype "friendliness" to nook STR
The instructions above worked fine for me.
The problem is that I found the apk somewhere (a rather new version but still not the latest) and, even when it works, I do not get any "word list menu" like the one shown in those Swype Howto videos.
This means that, either I use an extremely short vocabulary, or I waste 50% of the time correcting the suggested word...
For instance, let's say I wanted to write f***, Swype forces me to accept the word duck.
This is good, because then I have the time to think twice before swearing but in the end... hum, let's say it's not that productive.
Of course, I checked that the options are properly configured (or I think so)
Does it happen to any of you, nook STR users?
BTW, I might also say that I cannot install the beta from swype.com/category/get-swype/
Have any of you succeeded on this?
Not that I want to re-activate a Post that was last updated in August, but it's nice to have as much information regarding swype as possible in a single post.
Thanks
I just discovered the Swype feature on my galaxy player 4.0 and it's great!
Never used Swype before this, But Since finding it a few days ago, it's all I've used! lol
Hope you get it installed, cuz its awesome.
Ok, I have further investigated the Issue and I can confirm now that it is properly configured (I compared it with some other devices) so let's ask it the other way around...
Is there any nook-STR-user who properly installed Swype?
How did you do it or, better said, where did you get your swype from?
Thanks very much, and a happy new year!
(sent using my not-that-effective-but-still-funny-to-play-with swype keyboard )
My findings with SWYPE are :
1. when you set your keyboard to SWYPE and do FACTORY reset, you might get problem in the "re_registration" your Nook. For some reason, the factory reset will not erase everything and the device is looking for SWYPE keyboard - which is obviously not there. So you won't have any keyboard to type onto !!! Having not a backup might get you in serious trouble !!!
2. As mentioned over here, the word prediction/suggestion is not visible so really, there is the small nuisance when you have to correct few words. keep an eye on it, when writing.
3. You might find a little bit frustrating the highlighting of a pressed button. Well, OK ... the truth is, that it's TOTALLY ANNOYING !!! Have a look on my video on youtube so you know, what I'm talking about :
youtube.com/watch?v=OYKjvqhxJmU&context=C3503defADOEgsToPDskIus5a7mP57B922B9wWU5cP
But, this can be fixed !!!

Big THANK YOU goes to "djdarkknight96". His solution is to make the "highlighting" transparent, so it doesn't bother you any more. There was an attempt to make the trace line transparent as well, but without success (FC). Please, have a look at his thread for more info.
P.S. : With the youtube links -> as a new member outside links are not allowed for me yet -> so please add "www"

My findings with this are that the swype keyboard is actually still there, so you need to use adb to delete the apk file and, if you replaced the original, find that one and use adb to add it.
I have rooted my nook simple touch. Originally it was meant for reading only, but I write a lot too and writing on a computer screen is very straining as well as intimidating. I installed an app for takig notes on my NST but then I found that the keyboard isn't very nice on the nook. I want to change it. There are several keyboard apps on the market but none of them seem to work. I am not very much aware about the android system, so will someone please help me install a new keyboard? I don't need swype, swiftkey x will do. please help me install swiftkey x or something similar.
you have to move the apk file from /data/app to /system/app. Then use Nook Color Tools to select new keyboard.
I can recommend Hacker's keyboard (on market it is for android 2.2 and later but you can find somewhere on the forum link to a 2.1 version). Only cons is that it is dark but I have asked a developer and he is working on a different look (and hopefully also integrate 2.1 compatibility pach).
if you dont wanna open adb or anything, just do this
you can just install the app using Market
(or)
Download the apk from tto your computer. copy it to your SD card. Insert the SD card into nook and just open the folder in your SD card where you have the .apk and tap on it. then nook will ask for an install prompt and then proceed to install.
Once done enable the keybord from the app itself, or if you open NookColor tools you will have an ption to change the default keyboard

Just to add on to this, ICSKeyboard has a working autocorrect/suggestion system.
thanks everyone. I figured it all out myself. I am currently on touchpal and am loving it. thanks for the Co ordination
How did you get Touchpal to work. I installed TouchPal Tablet and the keyboard was all messed up?
What version of Touchpal are you using?
Hello, I'm also looking for a better keyboard (for Spanish, for example).
I've tried many (I like ICSKeyboard), but all they lack the key "Done" (required when adding notes in the stock Reader).
Somebody knows if there is a keyboard that includes it?
TIA,
jugaor
sorry I meant smart keyboard pro. its great and very customizeable. it also has Spanish language for it, and many more.
I think the done key is not dependent on what keyboard you use (its not available on the stock of course), it gets activated only in situations the app needs it to. so if the apparently commands the use of the done key, it will be there. I am not sure if this is correct, but I do get the one key whenever I want on the smart keyboard pro.
I have the same problem with the "Done" key: for example when I want to add a note to my books, I found I can only do that with the stock keyboard which has a permanent "done" button for me to press. Any other keyboard I tried has the normal "enter" key, but no "done"... pressing enter has the effect of a carriage return on the notes (that allow for multiline comments up to 512 char), but I can't save the note.
Anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks anyone!

Your post is my only hope left in the sea of misery of keyboards without auto-suggestion. I tried to install a couple of ICSKeyboard builds on my 1.2.1 Nook rooted with NootManager, but to no avail. Could you tell me where to find a cab of this ICSKeyboard working on Nook?
The TorimuNooter is not available anywhere anymore. The only image I could find is 06K version; it doesn't have this keyboard.
Clarification on installing a new keyboard: First you will need a browser with root privileges (ES File Explorer worked for me). In the settings menu, choose Root Explorer, then Mount R/W. Both "data" and "system" need to be set to R/W - otherwise I couldn't see the files and folders in data and I couldn't copy things to system/app). Find the keyboard install program (mine (graffiti) was not easy - I had to search for the APK). Copy it to the System/App folder. Run the install from that folder. That made it show up in the Nook Color Tools for me.
There must be a way to force the "Done" key to show in a 3rd party keyboard.. I use Smart keyboard to be able to write to my language (stock has only english) but the only problem is this "done" key not showing, although it show elsewhere..
