Guys, I wanted desperately to ask someone to port the keyboard from standard stock rom SE 2.1 for froyo 2.21. So far I have not found a good keyboard like that. Please do this for me.
I have alreadya lot of keyboards ....... but no has a facility that think it's essential to me, to position the cursor on the words at the touch Swype right and left in a bar above the keys.
Look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To make matters worse my situation, the button on the keyboard cursor not appears when I click in the text box to enter. It is a struggle to position the cursor when editing text.
I realized that the roms based MiniCM do not have the cursor button when we click the in the box text.
This is terrible because it makes it very difficult typing and correction of the text!
I liked this rom and do not have that cursor button.
Sad, 'cause when I like the rom, for exemple this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036335 ) do not have that button.
So I wanted the keyboard's original SE. Even without the cursor button to place it in the text where you want to just doing Swype to right and left in a box that appears on top of the keyboard keys.
The only way to fix this is by placing the cursor button or by installing the standard keyboard of the original SE 2.1 rom.
Please, someone helpe me.
I'd like to stay with Stable 2.2.1 ROM for X8 | Based on miniCM | 19/5/2011 Update, but the bug of the keyboard is annoying too much.
hide keyboard is on a lot keyboard
HTC IME, Gingerbread Stock Keyboard, Swype have "Hide Keyboard" when you push "back" button
Ask somebody who´s still on 2.1 to upload it or go back to 2.1 and copy it yourself.

You can use "Chinese Keyboard" from SE 2.1. There's no the text preview. But at least you can move around the text cursor. Haha.. :-D
cursor have HTC Ime and Gingerbread stock in FroyoBread
If you have a backup of your SE 2.1, you can extract your backed up /data partition on your PC and copy the keyboard to sdcard, then install it.
I´ve attached the program you´ll need for this.
You can find the instructions how to use here
Keyboard will fc if you just copy it, I asume that needs some changes in the framework or something

Didn't see this anywhere on the streak forum so here's a link. This is the awesome droidx multitouch keyboard (my favourite by miles) and a certain zach.xtr has changed the colours to dark with green highlight. Recomend for anyone still hunting for a replacement for the useless Dell keyboard on 2.1
Download .apk here [Original Thread]
EDIT: Anyone running the Froyo beta here is the same keyboard and skin for 2.2, this is a .zip so you can push it, flash it or install the .apk

It actually works
I installed the white one, it does vibrate on keypress, but so little its hardly noticeable. It seems like thats a bug on the streak. Does the vibration on this one work better?
Can you just install this or do you have to do something special?
I ask, because on my streak it wouldn´t install. Might be because it´s not rooted yet or because I have the white one installed.
best keyboard by far
Please could someone post clear instructions how to install this onto the Streak.
I've renamed the package "LatinIME.apk" and copied it across to the SD card via USB but I don't understand what to do next.
This is an awesome keyboard. Love the multitouch and the size of it. Thanks for the link!

Thanks very much!
I can't believe I was being so thick.
I had installed it but not enabled it in settings, and then was wondering why I couldn't choose it as an input method.
This keyboard is so much better than the regular 2.1 keyboard!
:-D
it doesnt look as polished as other keyboards but i really could give a crap. the functionality is beyond fantastic.

Should be standard little mic next to space bar, it doesnt always appear only in normal text input areas. If you don't have it check that its installed or possibly reinstall the keyboard?
I personally like some feedback, but very subtle. Would be cool if someone managed to add the level of haptic feedback as an option in the settings.
HOLEE CRAP this keyboard is amazing... Thanks for sharing!
I'm wondering if anyone has tried porting the stock 1.6 keyboard.
I love the numpad and would hate to have to change to different keyboard as I'm used to using it now.
Thank

So it is with me also, can some help me..? I can not use any keyboard on x8 except default...
First of all install this keyboard, then go to settings/language and keyboard/there you will find your keyboard, select it. Then go (for example) to writing message, long touch on writing screen and select Gingerbread keyboard. That's all! Nothing difficult!

looks nice, but i'm hesitant to try.
those 2 buttons that flank space bar should be made a bit wider...
nice... work perfect on my x8
english suggestions also helpful for me...
I was wondering if there was a way to use the playstation controls as a keyboard very similar to the way it is on a PSP when typing. Where the hardware buttons help to type. For example, The shoulder buttons move the cursor left and right, X confirms the key, [] backspaces, start is enter, select changes the style of onscreen keyboard. etc. etc.
I do not have an Xperia play yet, still have my htc fuze, but it would be nice if it had this feature because im very proficient with typing on my PSP. Thanks.
No...but it can be used to scroll through the home screens and the app drawer.

umm, i guess that's cool. As long as the buttons are usable for other things than games. I was kinda hoping other people had the same idea as me, and used those buttons for more. i was either hoping to find the PSP style on-screen keyboard, or the makeshift keyboard from gt4, which uses the analog to select a block on a 3x3 grid and the face buttons to select a letter. It's called the Danzel keyboard.
Sigh, i wish the PSP homebrew community was on the Xperia play. I guess it's time to learn to program.
How about the below idea

Tried to describe it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187053
Maybe also making square PS key to backspace, triangle to shift (single press upper case next key, double press Caps Lock), X and Start buttons Enter, O and Select buttons spacebar. Unless Select button could be used to switch qwerty... row to numbers 1234... etc. Turning the touchpad into 2-mode keyboard, so main mode lettering could be printed in black on the touchscreen as above and secondary (numbers, symbols, etc) in grey next to them in grey and/or smaller size...
Menu button below PS directional ones to popup the built-in onscreen keyboard for numbers/symbols, etc input?
On the S2 swype keyboard, i had symbols on all the letters of the keyboard so i didnt have to switch to the symbols menu on the side, this was very nice when typing messages as i didnt have to go into another keyboard to get symbols like -_:;() etc. I could just long press one of the letters with the correct symbol on it, and i would get the symbol i wanted. This seems to have disappeared on the S3 keyboard, or at least i cant find a way to enable it.
If this isnt possible id say it is a major step back.
Can anyone help?
Just to clarify:
SGS3 keyboard type on the left, and SGS2 keyboard type on the right:

I want the SGS2 (swype) style keyboard on the SGS3.
The difference is the sgs3 has a 'samsung' keyboard with some swype features built in. The sgs2 had a samsung keyboard but also the swype keyboard, and it's the swype keyboard you are showing.
I have installed the swype beta keyboard on my sgs3, but the keyboards height is about one third shorter than a standard keyboard. Haven't found if there is a work around yet. But I installed it because I prefer having those symbols too. I hate having to press a button to another screen to add them.
That sucks on Samsung's part. Can't be a $$ thing with licensing, as they knew before releasing the phone that it's going to be a major $$$ maker

Can you paste a screenshot of swype on SGS3?
I think I've downloaded about a dozen keyboards, googled a million images, but I can't find what I want.
Why do they all have stupid keys and menus in additional rows that I can't remove nor do I need taking up my screen space.
I think Go Keyboard was about the worst.
This one isn't too bad because the keypad size is adjustable but I still don't need their stupid menu keys.

I just want a fully functional keyboard that looks clean.
Predominantly white.
And I do want the ability to add the arrow key row.
Scalable keys / keypad is also a plus.
I don't want big keys.
I don't want big spaces between keys.
I don't want 3d or bevelled keys.
I don't want additional keys or menus.
Can someone plz help.

Are there feature unlocks in the trial upgrade?
There's no next word prediction?
And you have to type the full word and space just to get prediction for the current word?
