[Q] Android keyboard on a rooted phone - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Is it possible to install the stock android keyboard? I don't like the the samsung keyboard but don't want to install a custom ROM. Thanks.

Download the Swype beta msn. It's free indefinitely. It's the best keyboard on the market

He said stock android, not swype.. And swype being the "best" is all opinion. I cant stand swype. To me swiftkey 3 is the best

You can (with no root) just sideload the .apk of the android keyboard as well.
LatinIME.apk is the file.

Where can I download just the APK? Thanks.

Never mind I found it, how do I replace the enter key with the smiley icon?

[Q] Would the Samsung keyboard work on another phone?

My girlfriend is thinking of getting the Moto Defy when it comes out but loves Swype and the Samsung Keyboard. I know she will be able to download Swype but would an APK of the Sammy install?
There are much better options out there, has she tried better keyboard or anything else really? Idk about the port.

Why would you want to install the Samsung APK instead of just downloading Swype?
I was wondering about the samsung keyboard apk, not the samsung apk of swype.

Need Stock 2.2 Android keyboard

I had an evo with the .apk and tried installing it. Constant forecloses. Anyone seen the app functioning?

I wanted the stock keyboard and someone told me about "smart keyboard" which has the android/sense/touchwiz keyboards and seems to be pretty identical to the stock one... but if you want the real stock one for whatever reason it'll need to be ported

Here>>> http://www.hallerud.se/htc_ime_jonasl_hires22_27.zip
Unzip the file and install... this is not a flashable zip. A use APP Installer from Market.
Make sure you install both .apk's HTC IME and Clicker.
ENJOY
It won't install the clicker apk. It just says application not installed. I'm not rooted it that makes a dif.

Clicker.apk may already system installed. Have you installed the HTC IME and rebooted? After that go to settings/keyboard and tick the enabler.
???? My guess.

The htc ime installed just fine. But I was looking for the stock android kb not the htc one. Also the htc ime is close to identical as the preinstalled one.

This seems to be a modified HTC touch input keyboard. It's pretty nice but definitely looking for the stock froyo keyboard.
Wasn't easy but I found it. Stock Android like on the N1. Froyo.
Install ISSUE... I can only get it to install after removing Swype and the HTC IME Multitouch Droid 2 keyboard I have installed. Maybe someone can work it out???

Just dowload Better keyboard app, and then choose skin from the market: Better Keyboard Skin-Android. .
Only thing it doesn't do is the slide up to expose numbers.
Search "cedime". It has same look as Android keyboard and it has Chinese input option.

[Q] Swype deleting stuff with 10.1

I have a WiFi only 10.1 Tab. It came with Swype installed, and since I love Swype on my phone, I switched to it. It works for some things, but when I enter an address in the browser window (both the included browser and Xscope), when I type the period between words, it deletes the last 2 letters so entering "mail.google.com" gives me "ma.goog.com" . I've played with a bunch of the swype settings and nothing seems to help. Any ideas? Is anyone using Swype successfully on the 10.1 Tab?

Try to use version 3.25
I get the same problem. Can Swype beta be installed over the existing Swype?

Yes, but you have to remove libswype.so by hand before updating

Yes had same problem, I used es file explorer and mounted system partition as read/write and removed swype.
Then download latest Swype beta installer.
Cheers

Can this be done without rooting the device?

Swype themes

Are there any Swype color themes anywhere? I really want a red one. If anyone knows of any could you point me in the right direction?

Don't know if it ever was in the market. But go HERE and you can sign up for the beta that everyone uses. They send you an email that will send you to the website on the phone to give you the installer. Just make sure that your browser isn't set to desktop mode or it'll say that you don't have an android device.

Tried that too. Seems I have a Swype fragment in the system file. Tried to delete it, move it, rename it - all failed. Any ideas?
Update
I installed an ICS ROM and then installed the modded file before re-installing Swype. It worked but the keyboard is unusually small. Maybe it's an ICS thing....?

Could any port a keyboard??

Could any one port for a Swype keyboard from Samsung phone to p500 cuz the external Swype app is some time so unresponsive!!I get annoyed!!! Plz!!!I need a stable and reliable Swype keyboard as my friend has in his Samsung phone!!!!

Depends on phone.. even that keyboard can be laggy on your phone.
Still.. if that phone's resolution is same.. copy and paste the apk, libs, usr config and database to make t9 work.
Path system/ app
System/ lib
System/ usr
Find the apk for keyboard.. copy paste in yours.
Find desired libs.. you have to search it yourself. Some libs may have name with t9 or xt9.
Search in usr for t9 config and database. Copy paste it to yours.
Instead of doing all this.. clear cache.. oc a little and your swype will work well!!
So no one is using Swype keyboard provided by Swype.inc on this phone ( any one facing issues in latest update of Swype)!!!
