oops
Nook not book damn auto correct... lol
Slideit keyboard doesn't work; afaik only Swype currently does.
w
Swype? Is that an app name? Seriously I have no idea of what your saying. Please explain.
Thanks
"The SlideIt keyboard app, which is what your thread is about (right?), does not work on the Nook Tablet. The only keyboard that is confirmed to work is the Swype keyboard app. Afaik = as far as I know."
But! My original post is wrong; I mixed up Swype keyboard with Swiftkey - oops. Swiftkey is the one that works, Swype and all the alternate keyboards crash.
Looks like Smart Keyboard pro might also work, so you might want to try that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385737

I am running flext9, swype, swiftkey, thumb keyboard, slideit, stock gingerbread keyboard, and swiftkey tablet all on my nook tablet. They work flawlessly. There is a thread on installing alternative keyboards that you should give a good read. Tremendous amount of help in all of the posts in the thread.

Thank you for clarifying that... So... the only things that currently work are the pay ones for swype?
Swiftkey is also crashing when you get to the part about selecting it as the default input: "process com.touchtype.swiftkey.tablet.trial" has stopped unexpededly please try again....
This is frustrating...
Any idea if the Honeycomb version will be released for this tablet?
Hello, I've spent hours googling, reading threads, downloading different versions of swype and following directions but it just won't work.
I have rooted Nook Tablet (downgraded to 1.4.0) with "ota block".
I get errors such as "The application com.swype.android.inputmethod (process com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly."
I've set permissions. I can't find the cor" lib file that I saw mentioned in a couple threads.
I've tried the "Accessibility" method and tried putting the files in the /system/app folder etc...
to get slide it to work get root access to /system and chmod it to umm 775?777? something like that i did 777 then make /system/app chmod to 775? 777 (i did 777)
find your slideit app copy it/move it to /system/app run it (ie install it from /system/app
slide it will work fine.. if you reboot and get the force close,,, just browse to /system/app and re-install
swype on the other hand i have not been able to get to run, not that i tried hard.

Hi Dave
This method worked for me with Slide-it and Swype as well as other keyboards. The steps after the quote are laid out 123.

UPDATE: 4/30/11
Thumb KB 4.0, Beta 3.1 is now available at the following location: http://thumb4beta.blogspot.com/
If you have Thumb KB already installed from the Market, you must uninstall that version first before installing the new beta.
Some very nice changes so far....enjoy!
Thanks to Paul @ Beansoft for his very hard work on this new version!!
------------------------------------------------------------
Original Post:
I have been working with Paul, developer of the Thumb Keyboard (TKB) app, over the last couple of weeks to fine-tune the various layouts available on the TKB for the NookColor.
As of today, we tested the various layouts and they are working great! No longer does the bottom row disappear like it does with the current version available in the Market. A new version, with the new enhancements for the NC, should be available tomorrow.
This is great news, as this keyboard is incredibly easy, intuitive, and flexible to use on my NC. Appelflap is a very responsive dev and is doing a great job in supporting the NC community with these recent changes to his app.
A big thanks goes out to him for his patience with my testing and for a great app that makes typing on my NC so much better.
[My NC: Rooted, running v1.1.0r2 by Decad3nce, OC'd using 1.1Ghz OMAP3630 by Dalingrin]
I'm really looking forward to this, I have big fingers so I'm "all thumbs" to start with.
Went to market and picked it up but could not figure out how to enable it in the nook. Looks like an interesting concept. Will buy again but can you tell me how to activate it? Refunded until then.

I second that. I bought it too but have no clue how to get it to show up i the list of keyboards. I've done everything from renaming the zip to apk, renaming the latin ime and even copying the zip and the apk to system still to no avail. I see theres going to be an update tomorrow hopefully it fixes the the installation issue but if not can anyone who has gotten this to work please offer a solution.

the apk that you have to move to system/app (as with other keyboards) is actually located in data/app-private. move that guy over and maybe change permissions. its been a while but i think thats how i got this working.
edit: after doing that, i also had to reinstall by clicking on the apk that i moved. it then showed up as a selectable keyboard.

This is what I did to finally get it working. It took me a very long time to get this keyboard recognized in the NookColor Tools as an optional keyboard, but here is what I did:
1) Backing up the Thumb KB on my Droid X using "My Backup Pro" app
2) Transferred the newly created backup from my DX to my NC
3) Used Root Explorer to go into the backup file and and copied the .apk to /System/App
4) From within Root Explorer, installed the .apk (I was already mounted as R/W)
I could just not get it installed from the Market, for whatever reason...even after copying the .apk from /Data/App-private to /System/App.
As a side note, it does seem like renaming the LatinIME.apk in /system/app was something I tried and worked, in addition to what I performed above. I have since renamed that file back and I still have the Thumb KB in my menu option.
Let me know if this works, realizing that backing up from another device may not be possible for everyone.
when you tried copying the apk from data/app-private, did you then install by clicking on the apk while it was in system/app? that was the key point for me.

After copying the .apk to the /system/app folder, I did run the installer directly from within Root Explorer and this worked for me.
I was also helping the Dev out and testing this, and it works great. I did do a restart after I moved the .apk to the system/app folder. Using this keyboard makes a lot more sense for a tablet than the other keyboards. I can type faster now without having to put down the Nook, or feel like I going to drop it on accident.
Been looking forward to seeing the "not completely compatible with Nook" note go away. Thanks for the heads-up. =)
This worked for me

problem parsing package
I downloaded thumb keyboard from the market and then moved the
com.beansoft.keyboardplus.apk
from data/app-private into /system/app (with root explorer)
In root explorer I tapped on the apk and hit install
then I got "problem parsing the package"
any help?
Saw this today. Looks like great minds think alike...

problem parsing package - fixed
I don't know what happened but somehow I had my order cancelled (must have hit something somewhere along the line). I downloaded from the market again and it is working.
I've only trie dit for a few minutes but I think I am going to love it!
Exact same problem with parsing package. Looking forward to getting this working.

Same issues as above. Great idea though. Refunded until confirmed it can install from market with no tinckering.
Thanks 360Razir for helping me out by testing the keyboard on the NC!
For people with a parser error: do you rename the apk when copying it over? Renaming could be the source of the parsing problem.
Furthermore I turned off copy protection on the market. This should reduce the installation hassle a bit.
I'm planning to make a installer for (rooted) NCs. Can someone describe the exact steps that have to be taken to install TKB on a NC? That would be great (please use the non protected app on the market as the starting point of the description)
One minor issue I noticed; when using the 7" symbol/numeric keyboard in portrait, when I press the ., key, it enters a period in the text box as it should, but the key confirmation popup displays a 0 .

As title says, just a heads up to get a great kb for our NC for free today only on amazon appstore
(if you get it and want to thank me you can by sending me the apk since the appstore doesn't work in Canada!!! (arggh)
Just downloaded and testing now. Had been going between the Gingerbread and Thumb Keyboards on Froyo, but Swift does seem to be more accurate so far. Think this might be my goto keyboard.
HOWEVER, the stupid Swiftkey icon pops up on the notification bar. It won't go away-- any way to get rid of this?
The free Swiftkey app from the Amazon AppStore doesn't seem to be a tablet version. It also seems to suffer from the white on white problem.
if someone can send me ?
I would like to try it.
The tablet version is in beta so i imagine once out of beta this can update to it
Not able to see predictive words
I installed on my rooted Nook and it doesn't have the same capability as it does on my phone.
The thing that makes this keyboard so nice are the predictive words above the keyboard. The predictive words aren't showing like they do on my phone.
Are others seeing the same thing?

no point canadoc
Canadoc, there's no point sending the apk to you. amazon is drm'ing their apps, so it is locked unless on the same registered device and linked to the amazon account used to download it. i've alredy experienced this fate several times, using the family account to start with, then switching to my private account. have done it several times, with both free and paid apps. the apks are there, but they keep giving errors like "you are not the owner of this apk". perhaps i just need to delete the amazon appstore after the download?
I use it both on my phone and NC. Great keyboard!

Here's what I did to get swiftkey to work:
Using root explorer I made a copy of
com.touchtype.swiftkey.apk
(found in data/data)
and pasted it in system/apps
then rebooted
After that, choose it as your keyboard either in NookColor Tools
or longpress a text field and pick input then choose Swiftkey
Hope this helps
Confirmed doesn't work if installed on device it wasn't purchased from. Oh well.
sign up for the beta and download tablet optimized version. much better IMO.

From 1.1 Nook Color with 1.1 ghz overclock
Clearly I am a complete and total moron. I have just spent an hour with three different root file system apps trying to make this work. I cannot do it. The file simply will not copy to the system/app folder no matter what I try. I can copy it to every other folder it seems, except that one.
Root explorer - can't mount the system folder at r/w. I press the button at the top, but nothing happens. The system remains r/o.
SUFBS - Mounts the system folder as r/w. I can create new folders and files in the system folder with no problems. Can't copy the folder from data/data or anywhere else.
Super Manager (hey it was free and I was desperate) - same deal as SUFBS except it did copy the file finally. Gave me an error that I was out of space. I don't see it listed as an APK. I'm clearly f***ing up something ridiculously simple.
WTF am I missing here?
ok gotta resurrect this one.
i paid for the tablet version recently from the android market and it doesnt install on my rooted NC - i rooted my NC using Manual Nooter.
i also cant seem to locate the apk file. anyone know where the apk file is installed once the app is downloaded from the market?
I love my new Nook Tablet after sideloading all of my favorite apps...the only thing that I haven't had success with is changing to a third party keyboard. I've downloaded the Thumb Keyboard from Amazon, installed it and see it running, I just can't activate it in the Nook settings. Anyone else have success with this?
I have had no success either. I tried swiftkey and, after downloading the language files, once I try to enable it just force closes. It seems the settings menu has completely removed the option to chose which keyboard you want.
Although (and this may be a long shot), I have an idea. I cant test it right now as my nook is dead and I left the charger at work >.<. Anyway, here is my idea:
root the NT
using a root file manager go to /system/apps
locate the keyboard apk and copy the name. (I don't know if case matters but I would just copy it exactly as it appears)
rename the apk after copying the name to something like (keyboard).apk1
now locate the /data/app folder
locate your keyboard app of choice and rename it to whatever your default keyboard is named
move the file to /system/apps
reboot tablet and see if the keyboard you downloaded sticks.
If this doesn't work, that is why we just renamed the origonal apk. Basically, go back into your file manager app and delete the apk for the 3rd party keyboard then delete the 1 after the stock and reboot and your device should be fine.
This works just fine on my phone (I know it's a completely different animal). If nobody is willing to try it, I will today while I'm at work and post back if it works.

Bah, this method does not work. I didn't snap that my phone had swiftkey enabled already so the LatinIME.apk being renamed had no effect on the device functions. On the nook, I rooted it and then renamed LatinIME.apk to LatinIME.apk1...which means no more keyboard so I cant rename swiftkey. In my infinite wisdom I tried to master reset (using wipe/deregister device in settings). Apparently this does not completely revert to defaults but just wipes user data...so now I cannot login to my B&N account due to no keyboard!
So...DO NOT DO THIS! >.<
Alternatively...once you have root you can push the renamed swiftkey app (or whatever keyboard app) to /system/apps and that MIGHT work...All I know is, looks like I'm returning my device as I cannot do anything with it
Turn off the device. Hold down the N key and Power it back on to do a factory reset.

I actually figured that out just messing around trying to find a hard button reset...this doesn't work either. Apparently a factory reset only resets the factory settings but does not restore the rom to default itself...weird.
hmmm...does anyone know if there is a way to get to adb shell with the device off? or without being able to get into settings...yeah...long shot lol
Anybody had any luck?

Debugging gets disabled after each boot, so no ADB. I think you are screwed. Perhaps this is a sign that you need to go into a B&N and have them "fix" your tablet. When they pop the secret SD card into it, grab the tablet and RUN.
I found in an old Nook Color thread that the file is saved as com.beansoft.keyboardplus.zip in /data/app.
I had hoped to do this without having to root my NT...love to be able to sideload apps but just don't want to hassle with rooting it.
At this point I think I'll just be sticking to the stock keyboard since it sounds like you have to install the apk in /system/app for it to have a shot of working anyway.
i think kfmethod can work if android versions is same
I have not figured a way to change which keyboard is being used, but I was able to find a way to change to different themes of the B&N Stock Keyboard.
Here's how:
1) Download/Install Anycut from the Android Market
2) Open Anycut
3) Select New Shortcut
4) Select Activity
5) Scroll down until you see Android keyboard Debug settings, choose this
6) Go to your homescreen and click on the newly created shortcut
7) Select Keyboard Theme
8) Enjoy!
I'm rooted and I'm not sure if that changes things or not, perhaps someone can test it out for me?

Nook Tablet SIP Keyboard Switching without rooting
I too am desperate for my Nook Tablet SIP Keyboard to be switchable without rooting. I was previously using windows mobile where you have CTRL+x,c,v,b,u,i,e,y,z, etc -- i used it CONSTANTLY to undo, redo, and most importanly: being able to cut, copy, and paste info form fields.
This is driving me nuts that the standard SIP on a tablet doesn't have such basic features.
I purchased Thumb Board from Amazon (Amazon says it's compatible with Nook Tablet) but I can't execute it... bummer.
After using the hacker keyboard for a day, i found the keys a little too cramped for how fast i type. I ended up just changing the theme to stone and i like it. Im much more accurate with it as well.

Have you installed voice search from the android market yet?
If not, that's something you need to do.
I have voice input working with FlexT9 keyboard (from amazon market) and also with Swiftkey Tablet.
I can't get voice input on my keyboard working with any keyboards other than those listed above.
Voice search definitely works for me, however.
Thanks Downsay, I'll give some of those keyboards a try. I can't use Amazon apps as I am in Canada and they have us locked out.
how did you install FlexT9 keyboard?
I tried the amazon downlaod and it just gives me a force close when I try to follow instruction screen and click button keyboard and input.

which
downoaded FlexT9 keyboard and I am rooted I have hacker keyboard running.
First install the keyboard for the first time if you haven't already done so. Then Did you move the keyboard into /system/app? If not, you need to.
Also note that after you have done this you will need to reboot the nook. Then you will most likely have a force close error. Open root explorer or however you put the keyboard into /system/app and install flext9. You will have to reinstall each time you reboot the nook tablet. I'm not sure why' but it won't stick after a reboot. Let me know if this helps you out.

I would love to use the hacker keyboard, or other 'full' keyboard, but am facing app crashes etc. I do have Titanium Backup - Don't know if that helps.
Any suggestions? I am using this for DOSBOX games too.

I have installed the Swiftkey Tabletx keyboard. It works perfect. No crashes at all.
Instead of having you dig through that entire thread, what worked for me after trying out the different methods listed in the thread.
For stock root:
1. Get anycut from Market
2. Create a shortcut to accessibility and another for android keyboard debugging (the list might appear short, but you can scroll down)
3. Open keyboard debugging and check the box
4. Find the apk file you have for the keyboard(if you installed it from the market, move to system/app and another to your sd card or somewhere safe
5. Install the apk which is in system/app
6. Open accessibility, select the keyboard as input of choice (you might be getting force close errors by now, just keep closing them)
7. Go to the safe spot you saved the other copy of the apk file, install that, and then delete the one in system/app
8. Reboot and you should be good to go

Similiar idea, but instead of having to create shortcuts and you just copy the apk file to system/app and safe spot and then follow the instructions from step 5 and on.
Though I do find that on Cm7, it doesn't let me select the keyboard I want, so you might want to get anycut anyways, but for me, I use SlideIT and when i install it they gave me a little intro and it opened accessibility for me and I changed it from there.
thank you very many!! i love my nt with thai keyboad!!
Q&A it has been moved to.
If you don't mind paying a few bucks for a keyboard, try thumb keyboard. I just switched to it a couple days ago after reading the positive comments about it and it freaking rocks. The ergonomical layout is super comfortable and allows me to type quickly and precisely. Plus the prediction and correction features aren't too bad either.
