Hey guys,
I bought thumb keyboard recently and would like to switch the rooted keyboard with this one. When I try to go into keyboard settings in the settings window, it closes me out of the settings with a force close. I tried installing it through Root Explorer but it didn't give me access to the keyboard.
I'm using Honeycomb Launcher, and I tried to create shortcuts like in the guide for using alternate keyboards, but the shortcuts don't appear on Honeycomb launcher. What should I do?
Some keyboards require extra work:

I tried to follow the instructions but can't find the apk file. I installed from Market and see the app, see it running but my data folder is empty and I don't see anything in system/app.

it should show in data/app I'm not sure if you need a root explorer to see the file or not. I use ES File explorer and enable root access from the settings menu. I've got go keyboard, thumb keyboard and Swiftkey Tablet X. All working perfectly

There's a setting in ES File Explorer along the lines of "show hidden files" or something. Do you have that checked?
I never did find the menu setting in ES to view hidden files but I was able to find the apk using Root Explorer. The issue now is that when I try to paste it into system/app I get a message that the folder is read-only. I've checked all of the settings that I know to...I'm rooted, have debug turned on, using Root Explorer, etc.

Strike my last post please...I must have grabbed an old ES apk originally when I was unrooted and just sideloading. Now that I'm rooted and have access to Market I reinstalled the most recent version and have all of the menu settings that I needed to view hidden files and write to system. Thanks for your help!

more on keyboards with nook tablet
I've been both successful and unsuccessful with this technique, so there must be something about each individual keyboard that either allows it to work or prevents it from working. I have a rooted nook tablet, which I have set up to block B&N software updates.
I have been able to install the Hacker's Keyboard successfully. I have been able to install SlideIT so that I can choose it as an input keyboard, but it only causes Force Close repeatedly. I have been able to install Swiftkey X (preview version), and can use it, but it tells me that I need to complete the installation in order to be able to use all the features. (I don't know whether that means there is something I can do that I haven't done yet, or if it means I need to pay for the full version.) Finally, I have tried to install the Thumb Keyboard, but even when following the same process as I have with all the others, it does not even appear as a choice when I pull up the "select input method" screen.
Has anyone had any success with SlideIT or ThumbKeyboard on the nook tablet?
Thanks!

Some keyboards seem to require more effort than others. Read through this thread:
[Tutorial] Installing alternative Keyboards on the NT.
There is a lot of info in there, iirc I had to read through it myself a couple of times, but I was able to get Hacker's and Swype working. And others have gotten the other keyboards you mentioned working as well.
Also, another neat trick is to also install Keyboard Manager. I have it and it automatically switches from Swype (in portrait) to Hacker's (in landscape) when changing orientations. Very handy.

I have a G Tablet, and have used Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 for some time. I thought I would upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2, so I could try some Honeycomb like goodness. Right. Not a good plan.
Thanks Roebeet for NVFlash!
So, I have been trying to reinstall what I had, and I have run up against some troubles. I now have Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 and Gapps 20110307 running on the Gtablet, but I am struggling with the market. At first, I could not get the market to run; all it would do was FC. Thanks to Google-fu, a change in the language to English (United States) got that repaired.
So, the only way I can get stuff installed is to revert back to 2.3.3 market. The new market sees my tablet as Malata Tablet. I have changed build.prop fingerprint, but in the Market on the device, the message I get is "Your device is not compatible with this item". On the web Market, it identifies my tablet as Malata Gtablet. If I downgrade the Market app, I can install Maps and Flash, but when Market upgrades those apps don't show up as apps in My Apps.
So, I need to change more in the build.prop, right? So what the heck do I change? I am not able to mess around for days on end to upgrade to 1.2, I just want to use the tablet for what I was; web, kindle, google reader. I can do that, but I want to fix this weird issue too!
Can anyone help me out? TIA!
What is your ro.product.device = in build.prop?
Try changing it to
ro.product.device=olympus
--
Fixed
Actually, the way I fixed the market issue, was to change the DPI in the build.prop from 161 to 160. Boom, everything works fine.....yes!
G tablet is back baby, I am waiting for cheaper quad core tablets before I even dream about upgrading.....sweeeeeeeet!
Where do I go to change the DPI in the build.prop. Sorry for being such a noob!
I've been told two ways to edit build.prop, one by using ES File Explorer (which is free) and the other by using Root Explorer (which isn't). However, the only way I know to install either is via the Market, which tells me they aren't compatible with my tablet.
I have a chicken-and-egg problem: I can't edit build.prop until I install one of those apps, and I can't install either app without editing build.prop first.
So hopefully there's another way... anyone?

Someone else probably will answer, but you can get root explorer by using Amazon Market app which you can download and install and while they aren't as complete as the real "market" they also work and don't cause these kinds of problems. (you will have a better experience if you already have an Amazon account.)

Get Google Pinyin from the market. Use Anycut to to access keyboard settings. Check box for Google Pinyin and click on Google Pinyin settings to make changes to the layout. Make sure you register your NT with the Android keyboard first.
It's a good news for me, too.
Apparently google pinyin wont work on thwlle stock keyboard? Just tried but to but to no avail..

Tried to enable google pinyin but it was never an option.. in the end i hacked the keyboard into hackers keyboard instead. Anyone can help with the chinese input?

Please read #8 below...
Here are some stuff you have to prepare. You have to google them:
1) Rooted
2) root explorer
3) modded DroidSansFallback font - wqy-microhei.ttc (rename it to DroidSansFallback.ttf)
4) Keyboard Hack
5) Cedime chinese input method
6) AnyCut
Steps:
1) root the NT to enable overwrite system files.
2) use root explorer to overwrite /system/font/DroidSansFallback.ttf with the modded one
The following steps I cannot remembered clearly
3) use AnyCut to create a shortcut for Keyboard setting.
4) enable the Keyboard Debug mode to allow Keyboard Hack
5) go to somewhere that shows the keyboard. Long press the virtual dot button and prompted to the input method option.
6) switch to Cedime

This link is the original link teach you how to installing alternative keyboards:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360036
Sorry I make mistakes. Since my NT crashed yesterday and I have to re-install all the things. I make it more clear:
Font:
- DroidSansFallback.ttf is download from Terewong's blog. You may google "terewong droidsans" to download it. The original one has no problems but it did not cover all special characters.
- Use root explorer to copy DroidSansFallback.ttf to /system/font/ . It is a system directory. You have to mount as R/W before you place the file.
Shortcuts and Enable Debug options:
- Open Anycut, Create a New Shortcut -> "Activity" -> "Android Keyboard Debug"
- Create another shortcut for "Accessibility"
- Create another another shortcut for "Debug settings"
- Return to your alternate launchers (I chose GoLauncher. the original launcher does not show home screen, therefore you will never reach those shortcuts if you have no alternate launchers)
- Enable Debug mode options in "Android Keyboard Debug" and "Debug settings"
Keyboard:
- Google "cedime android apk". I found ver 2.0.5 in gphonefans.net. You must have the file outside of Android Market since market will install to the system automatically. We are NOT "installing" the keyboard but "COPY".
- Use root explorer to copy cedime.apk to /system/app/ . (it is also a system directory obviously, Mount as R/W)
- modify the file permission of cedime.apk with root explorer. check all read, write, execute boxes. This step is aimed to enable cedime.apk to be found with other programs (that is Accessibility).
- reboot the device so that it will refresh .apk files in /system/app/.
Enable cedime :
- Run the Accessibility shortcut you created earlier. Under input method, select your new keyboard.
You should keep the shortcut "Accessibility". When accidentally you switched to the original keyboard, you could use it to switch back.
I try to post screen captures when I back to home...
Hi Raye, its all working wonderfully fine now! had a bit of hiccup with frequent fc though. 谢谢你!
What I did was the following:
- install cedime with Pinyin from android market.
- Reboot
- using root explorer, go to DATA/APP to retrieve the cedime APk.
- copy the apk to system/app while in mount r/w mode.
- set permission to 777.
- reboot
- choose cedime as input in accessibility.
- reboot
- if you experienced fc, copy the apk to your SD card (in sdcard/temp or something)
- install the apk using package installer.
- Delete the apk in system/app.
- Reboot
- should be fine
Results may varied though, but this is what I did.
Thanks again Raye for the great assistance! appreciate it lots!

Hi mate, I think you can search for a Korean IME in the market or the APk online then just follow the steps listed in the threads? I think the installation and all should be similar.

Thanks for the traditional Chinese keyboard; has anyone successfully installed Simplified Chinese IME?
I've tried Google Pinyin, Baidu IME and Sohu IME using the Cedime method described, but all 3 are force-closed immediately after I restart. I've run out of ideas on what to do.
Edit: I've switched to CM7 which took care of this problem.
Following overcrash's instruction, I got google simplified chinese input install. Thanks a lot

Just wonder your chinese input still works after reboot?
I had tried the approach & managed to typed some Chinese text, but sadly after reboot, all Chinese input methods had to be force closed.
Yes, it still works after reboot. In fact, I confirmed it by reboot it again before I started typing this reply.
Good luck
Did you copy the files from:
1. data/app to system/app
2. data/data/lib to system/lib?
Try the Go Keyboard apk, it got both simplified and traditional Chinese input and got handwriting recognition with it.
Make sure you copy the lib files
Folks,
I've had success with Google Pinyin IME. For those dealing with force closes, make sure you copy the lib files as mentioned in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360036
Without that, your keyboard will keep trying to input characters that just aren't there, and hence force-closing (at least that's what I think is going on)
Ok, I've side-loaded a generic .APK file, into a sub-dir within the 1.0-GB
area. (Previously, I likewise side-loaded a movie file into this same area, and it plays great.)
As I read other posts asking this same type of question about procedures/rules
for installing side-loaded apps, I'm not yet clear on a few things, such as
whether I need to be 'rooted' to install them and whether I first need to
purchase/install separate SD-card and load such generic apps there instead.
My current state is:
(1) My Nook tablet is still at 1.4.0 (i.e. I have NOT yet received the 1.4.1
update that blocks installation of such APKs.)
(2) My NT is NOT yet rooted.
When I view/select the side-loaded generic app, see a red question-mark on the file, and tappin it, I get msg:
"This nook cannot read this file. It may be an unsupported format."
So, what should I try next, to allow this file-type of .APK to be
a supported type?
Is this your first non-B&N apk? If so, I believe you have to download and install at least one apk directly through the Tablet's browser to get the option changed to allow sideloaded apks.

Well, it WAS my first non-B/N app.
So, I installed an app, one named 'Skitch', from the BN app store.
But, that makes no difference at all...my original side-loaded APK file
still gives the same error msg that I mentioned in the base post.
So, your 'belief' seems to be incorrect.
Anyone else know what to do, to install side-loaded .APK files?
[This issue could end up being one more nail in the coffin...if I don't resolve this,
I'll have to strongly consider returning this device, and waiting for a 'true' Android
tablet this spring, with newer, more main-stream code (e.g. 'Ice Cream Sandwich')
in it.]
Hi cookdav,
CapsLockKey is correct about needing to download an apk through the browser in order to do what you would like.
I noticed this yesterday after playing with my NT for the first time. When you download an apk through the browser you will see a notification in the lower left hand corner that it is complete. You have to launch the apk from this notification in order for the file to be correctly recognized.
When I went to my downloaded files and tried clicking the apk file I got the same message you are seeing. It seems to me that the BN overlay does not natively recognize the apk file format, but the code responsible for the notifications does.
You should then be able to follow the directions for enabling ADB. After that you can use adb to install any apk file you would like.
I hope this helps and that it was clear.

What does installing an app from the B&N app store have to do with side loading an app from the browser or email? Have you bothered to read the "how to side load apps thread?"
How you can fix your face to say "your 'belief' seems to be incorrect." when you aren't following instructions is funny as hell.

The operative word there is 'seems'.
And, yes, I did read that thread, but obviously now, I missed something.
I guess I missed the distinction, between installing an app via 'shop'
and installing an app via the browser. So, shoot me.
[That said, I'm still a bit confused. But, reading-between-the-lines has always
been problematic for some of us newbies.
I'll go back and re-read everything 3 times again,
and I'm sure that these distinctions will eventually become clear to me.]
Thanks for clarifying.
Ok, did one thru the browser, but still no-go...
Ok. I installed 'golauncher', via the browser.
Sigh. But, once again, after that, when I go back and try to install
the earlier-mentioned .APK, it still says what it has been saying all along.
Hmm..a new possibility has occurred to me: Maybe I'm so immersed in
Linux and Windows-XP and Win-7, that that has made me too stupid
to follow directions and learn this new 'tablet-way' of doing things.
[Whoever said "The devil is in the details" must have been an Android user.]
Clearly, I've STILL missed something, after re-reading. Anyone got
any more ideas/guesses of what I might still be missing?
"this nook cannot read this file" although I do sideload apks
I got a similar problem with Nook Tablet wit 1.4.0
I have managed to download an app so that my settings have been changed to accept those apps
If i go to another app market, I do install apps.
But for some reason I am limited (Amazon Apps refuses to work because I am not in the US and others have limitations which I dont understand, as on a chinese android pc they work, however)
SO I d like to install from sd card
And i get this message "this nook cannot read this file"
If I mail to gmail, in nook mail I cant open attachment (nor any others)
Any workaround?
Thanks

I don't think you can install apk's through the native file browser. You will need a different file browser to install your apk's.
if you are downloading directly from the internet browser, then the installation process is the same as installing the tgps launcher or in your case go launcher.
However, if you are sideloading your apk's through something like dropbox or an sd card, you will need a file browser.
I recommend Root Explorer (paid), but if you need a free one you can download es file explorer.
es file explorer can be found in the must have apps thread located in the themes and apps section of the NT forums. Just go to that page on your NT internet browser and click the download link. You will be redirected to a download page, and there should be something that says "remove this frame". Tap on that and your download should start.
hope this helps
I am already rooted and everything is fine. Have the Android Market and so forth already running. What I am trying to figure out is where in settings was the options to use Unknown Sources and Debugging. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Is it not accessible even after rooted? Is there an app that lets you get into those options?
Also on another note. Where does anything downloaded for an app store or other files go to. On my Galaxy Tab there is a folder on the root SD called downloads. There is nothing like that here on the Nook. I downloaded Getjar but didn't install it. Can't seem to find where the apk is now to install it.
Go to your Applications and click on tgps_launcher and hit Start.
Everything you want is there.
I must be completely dense today. What is tgps_launcher?
It pretty much brings up the hidden development settings.
When you rooted, you put it on your NT to enable USB debugging, unknown sources, etc.
I don't see anything called that at all. No app at least that I can see. You sure it is on my Nook now. I used the below way to root on my mac...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19592179&postcount=1
and gave me the following apps...
1) Go Launcher Ex (Rooted App Launch/Desktop)
2) Market Place (The Android "App Store")
3) Button Savior (adds tiny button on right of screen for nagivation home/back etc)
4) Home Catcher (makes 2 clicks of the Nook N bring up the new Launcher)
5) Nook Color App Menu (allows you to install sideloaded apps to the Nook home screen/Library)
6) Dolphin HD Browser (Replacement web browser)
Go to Indirect's thread on rooting and DL the tgps_launcher.apk there.
Then hit the "n" button, touch search, type in "tgps", you should be able to see it and launch it right out of the search results. Once it has launched, touch "start" and you will be at the menu you want.
ETA: Here is a link to Indirect's thread. Find this bit
Code:
here is an app to pull up usb debugging menu
http://li362-167.members.linode.com/...s_launcher.apk
and DL that file right onto your Nook.
Look for Appmenu - this will take you to menu settings where you'll see development, etc.
- AppMenu
- Open Application Settings
- check Unknown Sources
- Development - check USB Debugging, etc

I don't have mine in front of me at the moment, but it's not on the SDCard. It's under My Files/Downloads somewhere in the B&N data folders in the actual tablet storage. Just don't remember where exactly off the top of my head without looking at it.
If you have a launcher installed look to see if you already have it, otherwise:

Thanks everyone for your responses and help. Greatly appreciated.
Now that I got a chance to look, actual location for downloads is media/My Files/My Downloads in the root directory of the tablet.
Just thought i would post this as an ohh sh!t save because i did this. I had originally rooted using windows with indirects script for permanent root, i then blocked otas and proceeded to install adw. I was stoked! I then installed an ics keyboard, here inlies the following problem, i was able to get it working properly and a few days passed and snowball mod was released. Naturally i wanted to update and get rid of the nook tablet home page and what not so i factory reset forgetting to uninstall the ics keyboard and i just disabled it and re enable dthe original nook android 2.3.4 keyboard in the keyboard debug settings mode. In the event that you do this mistakenly you will not have access to a keyboard thereforenyou will need to pay attention closely to the following!
Step one bypass nook registration you can find this on albertwertz youtube channel.
Step two find a wireless network with no password as all of yiurs will be erased and you can not enter a new one with a keyboard. A phine using wifi tether works perfect.
Step three create a folder on your desktop computer with word document containing a direct link to download any side laoded app.
Step four move this folder to your sd card
Step five open the sd card by choosing the option on the task bar of your nook tablet
Step 6 find the folder open it click the link
Step 7 download the file when prompted choose PACKAGE INSTALLER choose menu and go to accessability. It will say there are no apps blah blah ingnore this and move passed the prompt by choosing cancel.
step 8 choose keyboard and select android keyboard.
You will now have your factory keyboard again.
