I'm coming from a moto droid to an incredible to a Droid X to the fascinate and I've noticed some lag in the texting. Like if I want to type really fast I feel that it doesn't keep up 100% any fix for this?
Please don't day swype cause I hate it! Lol..
I removed swype and went back to stock keyboard and its much better. Looking to use the HTC_ime keyboard but it still wont load though even though I have it checked under keyboards and languages. I used titanium backup to backup and remove swype.

But have you noticed any lag when typing? Its like the keyboard doesn't want to pick up sometimes.. I'm using smartkeyboardpro now and have used the stock keyboard...
the only "lag" i noticed was when typing with the swype keyboard. It wouldn't be as responsive and would force me to slow down when I type. The stock, HTC_IME keyboard are both fine, no lag here.
Only time i noticed lag was when my phone was plugged into the wall, every couple letters i type the screen was unresponsive for a second.
I'm using the droid x multi touch keyboard and haven't noticed any problems

Please enlight us, i've been wanting to try this keyboard on my fascinate
I used one of the apk's that has been posted around the net. Make sure you are currently using the Swype keyboard then use root explorer to rename LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex to LatinIME.apk.bak and LatinIME.dex.apk. The multi touch apk file should install and work. If I were to do this again I would have made sure to have a nandroid backup done first.
Try the apk from this thread
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...touch-keyboard-has-been-ported-available.html
The one issue I have with it is that it doesn't keep the "vibrate on press" setting turned on after a reboot
For some reason I can't get the Multi-Touch keyboard to work on my fascinate. It's rooted, moved two latinime file but still doesn't work.

Does the api fail install?

No fail at all on install. I use astro to install and when done it says install successful. Is it supposed to copy a new LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex to system/app? After it installs I don't see those files in system/app.

Hi guys, I tried to use the Epic 4G Touch launcher on my GS2, since I heard that it was better than the TouchWiz that comes with the international version, but something got messed up and it reverted back to the old launcher, and now it just shows the "Applications" icon in the middle of the dock, and whenever I try to add something else, it just FC's. I have deleted the Epic 4G Touch's launcher, but it still continues to do this.
SO, would anyone running completely stock XXKI3 firmware please go into their "/system/app" directory and upload: "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" and "TouchWiz30Launcher.odex"? I really appreciate it!
By the way, what is the function of the odex file?
THANK YOU!
Go to manage applications and select TWLauncher and force close it and clear data. Home key.

You sir, are a genius.
On another note though, why doesn't the E4GT launcher work on my phone? It runs much smoother than the original, but then I run into the problems I was having as described in the first post... :S
Did you delete the default TWlauncher .odex file before installing the epic one?

I renamed it.
And it still didn't work? That's odd, it worked for me after i rebooted the phone and I'm on KI3. I attached the new AT&T version of the launcher. It has a working search button and endless scrolling in the home screens. If you want to give it a try just unzip and drop the .lib file into system/lib (backup the one you have first) and the apk into system/app. This is the originating thread

Thank you for the information, but I honestly hate the new messaging icon on the AT&T launcher.
What reason could there be for the Epic launcher not working though? I really love how it's so smooth and more "polished" than the original.
Thank you so much, really appreciated!

The one I attached does not have the messaging apk, I took it out for that reason. Give it a try. I would download and use a different launcher while you install the new one just to be safe.

Thank you for the help, but once again, I just get an FC. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! :S
Could it be that when I rename the file, I still keep the extension? The stock tw launcher is laggy, and I honestly don't like it when I see the lag on such an amazing phone.
Anyone got any ideas?

I already downloaded like 20 different ones and they all don't work at all. I enabled them and tried to use them in dolphin mini and messaging and by simply holding the keyboard pop up button. It only activates the stock cm7 keyboard. I went into keyboard options and selected the keyboards and when I go to messaging and open keyboard it's the cm7 one. When i press the settings key it only shows the cm7 keyboard...
thanks
You have to long press a text box and choose input method... this is fundamental android options...

Yes, I'm fully aware of that function. However the only method that is allowed is the default keyboard option. Know of a specific keyboard app that is bigger, nicer, ans easier than the stock cm7 keyboard that works on all system apps and dolphin mini?
Thanks
First "Enable" then "Long Press" ...If your phone cant enable more keyboards, you might as well throw it out the window for an iPhone now.
My CM7 has like 5 different working keyboards

Please don't take this the wrong way...
If you download a keyboard.. for example the "Gingerbread Keyboard" from the market, (Which is the one I use and looks much nicer than stock and is resizable to fit your needs). Then you go into the settings menu and enable this keyboard from the Language/Keyboard options menu. Then you go into a text message or something and longpress --> input method.. you WILL see two keyboards there, one Android keyboard, and the other will be your downloaded keyboard...
If you choose the downloaded one, it will systematically
change your keyboard across all apps within android to that one...
This is what I was speaking of... and this WILL do what you are asking...
If this is not clear please let me know..
^^ What a nice guy you are

Just tried downloading gingerbread keyboard. It says package file was not signed correctly. I'll try closing market and try again. I'm running the latest cm7 for the atrix.
Thanks
I installed hackers keyboard and it doesn't show up in the input method list. Trust me i've done this so many countless times on none cm7 roms. Just never tried it in cm7. I believe it will not work. I don't like that comment above where the guy seems frustrated explaining it to me. I already know exactly what to do. I am doing everything 100% correctly. However because of the fault of cm7, will not allow any other input method other than stock to show up in the input method field. Please confirm.
*On a fresh latest cm7*
Later
By any chance have you flashed any kernels?
May be that if so...
Also, try reinstalling the rom if it's not too much trouble..
My last time I loaded CM7.. certain widgets would never show up in the widgets list...but after I flashed a second time, it would work.. Its real finicky.

Not frustrated, just *Confused* When you go into "Settings-->Launguage and Keyboard" after you install a new keyboard, do you see your new keyboard there and if so is it checked?
I have never had or heard of this issue, that was my only concern.

Perhaps this one??

Can you send me a screenshot of the setting menu so I can see..
Seriously, trying to help you, am I seem to be only 1 of two, so take it easy my friend
Or just use this APK, its the one I am using right now
(Here was a nice tuturial in the OP here for changing keyboard http://www.spacetimestudios.com/sho...yboard-for-your-qHD-HDPI-MDPI-Android-devices)
I figured out what I was doing wrong. I have to only select 1 keyboard at a time even know it lets u select several at once. Kind of weird. Anyway Gingerbread fixall is pretty damn solid and I like it a lot. Not quite as amazing as the keyboard on Hyperdroid HD2 roms but it's a lot better than stock.
THANKS BRO
BTW - I pulled the latinIME.apk from the Hyperdroid hd2 rom and corrected permissions and I get force closes after reboot. Maybe it's because it's not QHD so it simply won't work. I wonder how easy it would be to port it over? I really love how that hyperdroid hd2 keyboard looks and it's the easiest to use.
Later
I noticed that if the keyboard installs as the same name as a keyboard you already have it will only show one when you long press. I have found that if your third keyboard has a unique name it will show as a third choice ... but I'm glad you got it worked out, I like the qhd one in my last post, it installs as 3vo keyboard and is kinda awesome transparent!

Hehe, I was thinking the same thing, but decided to just download them all and take a look myself. Install is super easy: download, select like any app install, done!
Then just see sublime's post for the instruction on enabling them. Cycling through them all took like 10 seconds.

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.

Yes ofc, I checked, unchecked the gesture typing and reboot several times, nothing. But now I am quite well with this Swype keyboard (except the +30MB ram use). Thanks guys

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.

You can use TWRP recovery. Yesterday i used it myself.
And I forgot to say something more about this rom. I tested it for whole week.
This is ready for daily use. Good battery, smooth and really fast.
But there are some issues with current aplication list.
For example: Antek Quicksettings are good, but you should not kill proces(long home button...) because they will stop working and you need to start them again.
Also i next release there will be Holo Locker included, because I hate that status bar can be scrolled down even if device is locked. I took phone in pocket and sometimes i accidentally start wifi or called somebody because of this.
Xperia keyboard is not too very good. Width is ok, but height is not so good, at least for me. Any idea for some other keyboard? On 4.2 JB keyboard there was not fuctional swype, so i deleted it. Stock Samsung keyboard is not suitable for me too.
Next release will be probably at friday, maybe earlier.
And I almost forgot to thx Benz0nator for his advices how to make rom. Thanks man.
Nice work!

Hi mate! Do you think it might work on L version?
Just wipe and install.
And it should work on L version, but i did not test it I dont have L version.
But i abandoned this project because there is now CM 10 or CM10.1 and those are much better.
