[Guest HustlinDaily]

Do you like it? How does it compare to the standard Android FroYo keyboard? How does it compare to other keyboards you have used? (ie. HTC IME)

[Guest wytek]

i'm trying right now...and compared to the standard one it's really cool! fast and smooth, there are voice command too and u select language swiping the space bar!

[Guest xaueious]

Isn't autocorrect broken in that port?

[Guest wytek]

updated version here autocorrect seems to work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863576

[Guest xaueious]

sound and vibration all working

feels a bit like the samsung keyboard. works great!

LCR 1.1.2

Got mine here: http://androidoverdrive.com/pete/GINGERBRE...eadLatinIME.zip

Replaces stock launcher. Not sure if other languages work, but English should be okay

English prediction

you select language by swiping spacebar in 2.2 keyboard also ;)

[Guest blc]

It's nice, but it isn't better than Smart Keyboard Pro...

[Guest thongrim]

Ehm, noob question, how to select a different language? Or did you mean for voice commands?

[Guest tmp_do]

on cm6.1 work fine, but w/o multytoch ;)

[Guest koudelka]

you need to enable different languages in settings, and after that you can switch betweenthem by swiping left or right over the space bar

[Guest akira.pwr]

On my Liquid seems to works fine, took to xaueious link, thanks!!! ;)

Is there a way to choose qwerty or t9?

[Guest markII]

Have you italian workin fine? I can't select italian..

[Guest thongrim]

+1, no italian as autocorrection

[Guest akira.pwr]

I don't use autocorrection, but italian language works fine, in settings you have to flag the languages you want and then swiping space bar, you can change it.

Works on mcboy modifed official acer bin 2.2 and the vibration does appear to work in our liquids where it seems it does not in the epic 4g.

i like it infact removed the htc ime for now. Any one with the touch patch see if they can get multi touch to work

[Guest jayziac]

So is it simply flashing the .zip file from Malez recovery onto a rooted Froyo based ROM? (I have FroyoMetal 2.5 based on official 4.002.14). The guide says to have a deodexed ROM, does that apply for us Liquid users?

I put it on the sd card rebooted into malez recovery and installed with no signed check and rebooted and set it as the default text input. it does replace the android keyboard so that is the one you select.

works pretty fast as the htc ime was a little laggy on my phone and i was running out of space (i guess i need app2sd) but i guess i need to go to a custom rom...waiting out for acer to release the 2.2 source so the devs can put together one sweet rom on 2.2.

[Guest TheShak]

Works great, no probs, much improvement over the exisitng android keyboard.

Thanks for the find!

how does one test the multi-touch bit?

u can tes it with shift: press it and some button with digit in upper case. but it dont work

[Guest PhilNelwyn]

If someone is interested, here's how I installed the Gingerbread keyboard on Liquid METAL :

(phone rooted / busybox installed)

I took the french LatinIME.apk posted earlier by Xaueious -thanks !- and extracted libjni-latinime.so from a zip.

I put these files at the root of my sd card, chose another input method than Android keyboard and deleted LatinIME.apk from /system/app using ROOT EXPLORER.

Then I typed this adb :

adb devices

adb shell

$ su (allow app on the phone)

# mount -rw -o remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

# dd if=/sdcard/LatinIME.apk of=/system/app/LatinIME.apk

Finally, I just overwrited the libjni-latinime.so in /system/lib with the one on the sd card using ROOT EXPLORER again.

Maybe everything can be done via adb, more simply... ;)

I think the short-version is replace and update these files (backup first!):

/system/app/LatinIME.apk

/system/lib/libjni-latinime.so

Using Malez recovery to flash .zip is more automated, but manually 'su', 'remount', and 'cp' with busybox installed also works.

[Guest DasTisu]

Could be good, but lacks swedish auto correction.

I'm new to shell and busybox commands, so I don't know what was wrong but when I tried 'cp' I got 'cp : not found'.

Do you know if there's a custom recovery compatible with Liquid Metal yet ?
