Android 4.2 keyboard with gesture, its as good as swipe.

After installing go to languages and input and check Android Key board
Hope it will be useful.
Download and Install
Now, getting it on your device is going to be easy for some of you, and less easy for others. You'll need to be on Android 4.0+, to start.
If you're on a phone with a UI overlay that has the stock keyboard disabled (eg, Samsung TouchWiz, HTC Sense, Sony), you can just download the apk below- no root required. To install, make sure you have "install from unknown sources" enabled in your phone settings, and after installation, go into your phone's keyboard settings and enable "Android keyboard." Then, you can switch to the new keyboard. This may also work on some "stock" Android custom ROMs - but it will not work on stock Android builds distributed by Google.
Get the apk here: http://d-h.st/XuS
If the apk doesn't work, you're running a phone that is either A.) running stock Android (as in, AOSP), or B.) running software that has the stock Android keyboard as an option, you'll need to download this ZIP file, and flash it in recovery. That also means you're going to need root. as you'll be writing to /system/apps. Before you do, though, either back up the stock keyboard (if you don't know how, you probably shouldn't be doing this) or create a full image backup, just in case. Here's that ZIP file:

Very nice, i use swype normal as standard keyboard, but this feature with the word over the things you wrote is better than swipe ever! And now the keyboard is faster and fits better the look of jb.
Edit: i test the gallery,looking nice but not all work on latest CM10 the camera not change the orientation automatic,u had to turn on the rotation. U can not edit the picture if u click on the button that is shown after u take a photo and swipe right.

Why the Keyboard is not Working, I am on latest CM10 Nightly by Quarx. I have installed via Flash as well as the APK File.. Still m not getting the options.. What could be the reason.

I think that some of Sony Ericsson's original apps on the stock 2.1 ROM are very valueable, because they are nicely customized for the small screen of the X10 mini/mini pro. Particularly the address book and phone application, the T9 keyboard and the photo application are good examples and quite essential for me.
Other people do often mention the radio application or even the stopwatch and the alarm clock of SE.
Now, with the release of the 'camera fix' for the X10 mini/mini pro Cyanogen 7 ROM's, it's tempting for me to finally change the ROM on my device.
So I would like to know:
Is it possible to use SE apps of the stock 2.1 ROM like the address book and phone app on CM7 ROM's (MiniCM 7 / GingerDX etc.)? If not, is it possible to port them like the apps of the Xperia Arc/Play in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982051 ?
Probably it would be useful to create a central list of SE X10 mini 2.1 apps (or modified versions of them) here, which work on CM7 ROM's, because I couldn't find such a list.
I would appreciate any contributions.

lemme get it one by one...
1)address book and phone app: i feel the CM7 is WAYYYY better and more customized!!!...y u want dat horrible dialer of stock mini???...even if u want, u can get it in the forums...dere is a thread with all the stock 2.1 apps listed in a zip
2)t9 - the "squash input method" is available in CM7 too,and frankly looks and feels better than the stock 1... although the key arrangement is similar
3) Radio, stopwatch and alarm - u can get the radio in the forums itself. the stopwatch, timer etc is available in the market as "xperia chrono", "xperia timer", etc. again, the alarm clock app is better for CM7 than stock 2.1
4) Camera Fix- u can get the stock camera 2 work as a "photo camera" in custom ROMS, but if u want the continuous auto-focus in video, get LGCamPro 5.95 and set the focus mode as "semi-continuous"...u get the "continuous auto-focus" back while recording videos....
ALL IN ALL, IF U WANT TO HAVE ALL THESE 2.1 APPS, SEARCH FOR THE THREAD IN THE FORUMS (sorry, I FORGOT THE URL, it has ALL the 2.1 apps), then u got 3 ways...
a) use winzip, winrar to delete and replace the files and then flash the updated ROM to ur cell using xrecovery\CWM
b) push using ADB
c) use ROOT Explorer.
hope i helped
if i helped you, kindly press the "THANKS" button

I tried Video in MiniCM7 205 and it force closed, too. How do I uninstall it? Drop to uninstall doesn't work, and it didn't show in Titanium backup.
The digital clock widget worked nicely, though! Thanks!
And which one is camera? Sorry, but I can't identify it.

Thanks for the help!
I just installed semcCamera using Root Explorer and this works too under MiniCM7 -- but pushing the 'up' button causes a crash. I don't remember what it did, but possibly it is for changing to Video which I do not have installed as it crashed.
Now I'll try finding a version with a silent shutter...

This is not really a question, but more of a suggestion for those who can't stand to use the current Camera on Liquid and Jesters Roms. Personally, I take a lot of pictures with my phone and the quality from that APK was quite bad when it was dark compared to what it was.
So after a lot of research, here's what I did:
Downloaded Root Explorer from the Google Play.
Browsed to system/app
Mount R/W and deleted Camera.apk
Downloaded this camera apk from MIUI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15307536&postcount=167
Installed it and voila - working camera with focus.
Note: Camcorder still doesn't work
I'm not sure if it's required to uninstall the Camera.apk (chances are no), however it's what I done.
think this may work with AOKP?
No go

You mean it shows the controls, but a blank screen right? You have to take one picture like that, and after that it displays the screen and it works fine. You'll have to do that each time you start up the app unfortunately, but still it's better than crap quality and no focus.

Hello! I am the only one, who can't manage to get a working gesture typing 4.2 keyboard on FXP CM10? I flashed several ZIPs and installed APKs but none of them worked with gesture typing. The keyboard itself works perfectly, but the swipe function doesn't want to.
Why don't you download the apps like swype or swiftkey as they might offer the functions you need and also some keyboards support themes so you can apply themes on them...
Hope I helped,

After all these tries, I tried swype and swiftkey too. Both of them quite good, but they eat a lot of memory (~30MB) beside the original android keyboard. But now I removed some not too important apps and kept only swype (beta). I will see how it works, thanks.

You can look here for the xperia sx keyboard that also has swipe but I am not sure if it has mdpi support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33774862&postcount=1404 and the portal has a story on a new swipe keyboard that you may want to try: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/kii-keyboard-offers-free-alternative-to-swype-and-swiftkey/
If you really want the 4.2 keyboard, then pm me and I will send you the one that is working on my device.
Sorry for the previous post about making sure you turned on the features of the keyboard...it is just one of those things that frequently gets over looked :laugh:
is it possible to compile the 4.2 keyboard from sources or is it a gapp now? if it can be compiled, can it be backported to 4.1?
It's already out there, both for stock and aosp, but i had the same problem with gesture not working. I'm using the xperia s and it works fine. Swipe and swiftkey eat ridiculous amounts of ram and also do random connections, i stopped using them after very little..
I went looking for where I originally downloaded the 4.2 keyboard. It was from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663
There are 2 zips, one that contains just the apk and that one is working for me on a ST18i, but mrmako777 also has a version in case the apk alone doesn't work and also contains a required lib file. So if the apk alone isn't working, maybe you can try the 2nd zip in his post.
yeah but i would like to compile it from source, and yes, Swipe and swiftkey eat ridiculous amounts of ram.

Does the new google now have voice activation?
I guess I should ask also - does it work without errors?
Edit: installed and it works fine No voice controls though automatically like the moto x.
Thanks Hamdogg.

Update- Upon further investigation I found a newer version on XDA. I am attaching a flashable zip in the post. Thanks to this guy - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52153586&postcount=306
IMP - By default the app takes pictures in 5MP resolution. If you want to take pictures in 8MP resolution, just disable 16:9 mode in settings.
Just like all other Xperia SP users, I was completely dissappointed with the phone's horrible camera. Upon further investigation I realised that the issue was due to the unpolished and half-baked stock camera app and therefore some users posted Xperia M's camera app which performed better.
After some little searching on the internet, I found Moto X's camera apk.
The app does wonders on our device and performs better than Stock camera or google camera app, especially in terms of auto-focus department.
So, I suggest everyone to try it out. I am attaching the apk to the post.
Works on stock as well as custom ROMS.
NOTE - Produces great results while taking pictures of 'texts and documents' where stock app fails terribly.
Bugs - Not all features are working (eg HDR mode). But the app does a pretty decent job.
Work's also with Stock Roms.

Yes. The zip doesn't remove your stock gallery. You can delete motorola gallery using root explorer.

Scroll to the right (opening the camera mode changer) and click the little gear on the top right corner.

Press the ladybug icon at the bottom after sliding out the menu by swiping towards right. It is only available in the zipped version I guess. I am trying to get the new material camera app to work, I'll update if I am successfull.

Thanks, I did read about the ladybug but I get no ladybug when I swipe towards right, nothing on the bottom right corner and just the question mark on the top right one.
I downloaded the file directly using tapatalk, could that be the problem?

I guess you used the apk. The apk and zip versions are different. Its been a while since I changed any roms so I don't remember whether I flashed some other app to enable extra settings. I have 2-3 different versions lying on my laptop. Try the flashable zip version and see if the ladybug icon appears.
Edit - If the ladybug icon doesn't appear in the zip version, try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/how-to-unlock-advanced-camera-settings-t2884035
I had used this version too.

Tried it. Installed the zip file, edit build.prop. But no ladybug.
(the suggested additionol apk won't install, neither the xposed module)
