I have read a number of posts here trying to install a different keyboard, and would really like to get hackers keyboard working.
I have tried a number - GoKeyboard doesn't work, ICS is way too large on my nook screen.
Jellybean keyboard is working well, but it doesn't have direction keys (left right up down)
I really like the look of Hackers Keyboard - but cannot get it to install successfully.
I have copied the apk for various versions of hackers keyboard into the /system/app/ directory - but none of them can be seen by the Input method. Select Input Method - can only see Android Keyboard and the others mentioned - but it doesn't see Hackers keyboard.
I have rebooted, but still not seeing it.
Any suggestions?
Hackers Keyboard
Just realized the Jellybean keyboard also doesn't have a DONE button.
Any suggestions on what else I can do to get Hackers Keyboard working?
Hackers is working for me. It does require a couple of one-time special actions to get it going. I don't remember everything but all I did was google.
I think the secret bits were just copy the apk to /system/app and give it 644 permissions, maybe click on it in root explorer after that to install, then use nook color tools to select the new keyboard.
There might be another step in there like run the hackers keyboard app from the app list or launcher, and select configure input methods, but when I try that it just crashes back to the launcher.
Once you load hackers once, you can use the settings key to pull up the hackers keyboard settings and specify that the settings key is always visible, that the full 5 row keyboard is always used, etc.
It's not my favorite keyboard but it has arrow keys (in the 5 row mode) and F-keys (from the alt key in the 5 row mode agsin) and you can disable popups and predictions and corrections to make it faster and more e-ink friendly. I have not found a keyboard I fully like on the nstg but I prefer hackers to stock at least.

SlideIT keyboard
I never did get hackers keyboard working, also not gokeyboard and a number of others.
But I did get SlideIT Soft Keyboard by Dasur working - and I love it. It is possible to adjust the size of the keyboard and thus keys making it visible. Though it doesn't have the arrows keys, which can be an issue. It works with google voice which was my main problem with the stock android keyboard.
As usual, you need to copy the .apk file into the system/app folder.
I've only been able to install one of the ICS keyboards by copying the apk from /data/app to system/app immediately after installing. Ever since then, however, I haven't been able to get any keyboard apks to copy over to the appropriate directory -- I simply get a "failed" error. When I checked the permissions of /system/app I see that it is not writable for some reason. I've tried unchecking and re-checking the 3rd party apps in the Nook Color Tools but that did not correct the issue. Anyone encountered this before?

It sounds as though you need to mount the system for Read-Write. It is probably in Read-Only mode.
I use ES file manager to do this - go to the root settings in the settings menu
AFter you have finished, be sure to set back to Read-Only mode

Yep, you are right. I couldn't find any root settings in my copy of ES file manager, so I installed Root Explorer which I'm familiar with and it got the job done.
FYI, with some keyboards it looks like you need to reboot after you copy the .apk into the /system/app directory for them to show up in the list of available keyboards.

Has anyone ported or got a version working on the vibrant. I have seen it on the droid x and on one of the newer HTC's
If you can get me the swype apk from one of those devices i can bring it over no problem at all i just havnt found a system dump for either but to be fair i havnt really been looking.
I have been looking but posting the file has been banned. I was hoping it was possibly included in the new froyo build or perhaps some of the newer European builds. I might be able to get a copy off a droid x or evo 4g if you can pull it with titanium backup, would I be able to just straight load it up with apploader?
Thanks for all your help I am just learning so will of course have lots of questions

There's another thread about this, but it had a non-obvious title. I posted some stuff in there, but I'll repost here as people are more likely to find it.
Get the Swype.apk from the dump, no I can't post it here for you. The Swype company has asserted their copyright and XDA won't violate it.
Open a text field and change keyboards so Swype isn't active.
adb pull /system/app/Swype.apk Swype.backup
Don't install it, just copy it over the one on your phone. I used this:
adb push Swype.apk /system/app/
Root explorer, SUFBS, etc. can do it. Yes, you need root. Just do it, it's drop dead simple.
Now, switch back to Swype keyboard using the long-press on a text field. You have a voice button. The down side I found, was that the popup window with word choices is yellow with white text. Talk about hard to read. I'll attach a MetaMorph that fixes that.
Just download my Morph, then go to the Market and download the MetaMorph application. Launch Metamorph and let it do its checks. You should have a mostly empty screen with 2 buttons at the bottom. Select "Unzip/Extract new theme". Now use the file browser to find the file you downloaded. It's probably in /sdcard/download if you downloaded in the browser. Select the ZIP and it will tell you about the morph. Just hit "apply all" at the bottom and let it do it's thing. Now your Swype popup will look stock with the black background.
Weird, I'm running Vibrant6 and the epic swype does not work as outlined here. The kb opens, but the 2 lower left and 2 lower right buttons are blank. The kb doesn't respond to input either, showing the blue error outline around the kb.
Actually, when I reverted back to the stock swype, I had the same missing buttons and lack of functionality. I then installed the epic swype (by executing the apk), uninstalled it, and the old Swype started working again.

I am having the same problem as the previous poster that gets the keyboard, but no swype buttons, input, or typing ability. I attempted to overwrite the swype.apk with the epic swype.apk using Root Explorer. What do I need to do differently?

Add another to this list. Exactly the same. It wouldn't let me push the file back
Code:
C:\Users\TJHart85\Desktop\Vib_Phone\_REPLACEMENT_FILES>adb push Swype.apk /system/app/
failed to copy 'Swype.apk' to '/system/app//Swype.apk': Permission denied
C:\Users\TJHart85\Desktop\Vib_Phone\_REPLACEMENT_FILES>adb push Swype.apk /system/app
failed to copy 'Swype.apk' to '/system/app/Swype.apk': Permission denied
I then used Root Explorer to copy the new APK to /system/app/
I then got the same keyboard as others have that doesn't accept any input.
Putting the original file back didn't make it work again either, so I'm doing a nandroid restore back to a few hours ago (luckily I replaced a few system files earlier and had decided to make a nandroid just in case).
The only non-stock part of my phone is that I have SIM-unlocked it & applied the lagfix ...lagfix makes it take forever to restore too :-(
Restarting did not make a difference.

Something like "why can't we do this"... Not sure why they used that.
Note that I am using the EVO swype, NOT the Epic one. And you have to REPLACE the existing Swype. DO NOT USE THE PACKAGE INSTALLER. You have to place it with adb or something like root explorer should work. It must OVERWRITE the existing one. Make a backup of your Swype so you can get back to it. There should be no reason to have to restore a Nandroid with this mod.
If adb push gives you a permission denied, you have the system mounted read-only or don't have root. Try the JAC kernel, that's what I'm using, and it worked fine. I don't know or care if it works with the stock kernel, the JAC is that much better.
Can you tell me which version of the EVO swype has the speech to text feature? I have a 1.56 apk, but i believe there are more recent versions.
I am using 1.57.32.7688 from evo and it works perfectly
Wow... I have just been through the whole process of adding this to my phone and I must say I have learned a lot! So I figured i'd share for anyone who might benefit:
The main reason it was so hard for me is because I am running eugene373's vibrant7 rom and in that rom swype is removed by default. This allows you to just install the swype file (swype-evo-tts.apk) using package installer without any troubles. *BUT* It makes the Swype_No_Yellow.zip not work. This is because when swype is installed stock it's in the system/app folder but when it's just installed as a regular app it's in a different folder(data/app).
Sooo I went and taught myself how to edit .apk files! Yay!
This thread was AMAZINGLY helpfull: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503007
So basically I followed the steps in that thread except I moved the files in Swype_No_Yellow.zip to the corresponding folder in swype-evo-tts.apk using 7-zip. Then I used the auto-signing tool and tada! I have swype tweaked perfectly for me!
[rant] It sure would be nice if I could just post up the file I created and save y'all the trouble. But I understand the forum rules. I just think everyone coming to this forum has vibrant and has payed for swype! We sure as heck can tweak it as we please, but why can't we upload those tweaks and share amongst ourselves?! The real question is why didn't swype just include a text to speech button on the vibrant?!?! [/rant] Oh wellz
Good luck!
Yes, the morph looks for it in /system/app as that's where I told people to install it.
You could have just modified the morph xml file to point to /data/app, but understanding apk files is very useful if you want to play with the phone at this level.
tt, I've been looking with no luck for the evo swype. Got a link?

I don't, sorry. I downloaded it from an XDA thread before the mods caught it. I don't think we are even supposed to link from here. Irritating.
I'd host it myself, but I don't feel like joining Cyanogen in the C&D club.
This didn't work for me I tried to use Vibrant1.zip version of swype to revert back with root explorer and that didn't work so I had to do a nandroid restore, I wouldn't try this you would think it would just work but guess not.
Hello,
Can we install that Droid 2 Multi-Touch Keyboard to our HD2 Android ?
I didn't use Android before, I don't know what is he talking about in installation guide.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
----
Solution:
Unzip the file and get "d2keyboard-signed-ampfix3.apk" and "libjni_latinime.so" files.
Copy the "libjni_latinime.so" file to "../system/lib".
Install "d2keyboard-signed-ampfix3.apk" file.
I used AndroZip to do all those things. (Download it from Market)
If your keyboard doesn't appear, reboot the system then try reinstalling the apk file.
----
Problems:
Looks like multi-touch on HD2 Android doesn't work properly.
It may type wrong letters !
It seems that it is possible as shubcraft tried it on his phone and said it worked well. I'm trying to figure out how to set it up.
Yeah, unzip the file and get "d2keyboard-signed-ampfix3.apk" and "libjni_latinime.so"
I used AndroZip to install the .apk file, and then copied the .so file to /system/lib
I'm using mattc with overclock kernel.

Edit: Ok. I tried to install it again and it worked.
This keyboard is pretty incredible and the responsive touch input is something worth tipping our hats towards Motorola.
I really like the multi-touch aspect as well. Red accents don't hurt either...

i had the same problem as u. cept i had a backup keyboard with SWYPE. the multitouch keyboard didnt work tho. nothing came out.
Been playing around alittle and both the original and the Droid 2 keyboard works the same for me. I can have one finger pressed on the keyboard while typing with the other, no matter if i use the original in FroyoStone (HTC i guess?) or the Droid 2 keyboard.
when i try to move libjni_latinime.so to system/lib it won't move due to file restrictions. The apk installs but the keyboard never shows. What am I doing wrong?

Have you activated it in settings -> Language & Keyboard? Then you need to longpress on a textbox and choose it.

I've modified the LatinIME kbd_qwerty.xml file to use the Dvorak keyboard layout.
It seems to work pretty well on my phone, a Nexus One running Cyanogenmod 6 Nightly 203.
I backed up the original LatinIME as LatinIME.orig incase anything went wrong, and then used adb to push this to /system/app (make it writable first).
I make no guarantee that this will work for anybody else, I just know it (mostly) works for me.
I would like to be able to create my own local with this layout xml file, but I couldn't figure out at all how to do that, so I just settled with modifying the kbd_qwerty.xml file. If anybody can explain how to create another input language or local, or show me a guide on how to do it, it would be much appreciated.
Installing this will remove the qwerty layout. It will also screw up your "input languages" option in your settings. In fact, if you go to that in the options, you won't be able to use the keyboard until you reboot.
So yes, it's very buggy, but this is the first time I've ever tried to do anything in Android, so it's the best I could do. Any help on making this a finished product would be much appreciated.

The main installation for swype went perfectly fine and it shows it being installed. I can go into language and keyboard settings and its there. The problem is when I go to Keyboard Types: Swype doesnt show up as an option to use. Ive done the tutorial and it works fine. I just cant find a way to enable it to use for text messaging as its not showing up as an input option. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
copy the apk in a folder on your pc and extract it
go inside the folder /lib/armeabi/ and you find this file
libSwypeCore.so
copy this file on your leo sd card
boot up android and with rootexplorer cut/paste the library file inside the folder /system/lib
reboot
after this, swype should be in your inputmethod choices
If the copy of this file is not allowed (and the system show up a message like "read only filesystem" and such things), I think you have to do this operation with a terminal with root permission (inside android, on your pc with adb shell, on a linux pc, and so on)
Otherwise, the way that can't fail is:
on your pc (a linux pc would be better) mount the system file in a folder, do the cut/paste operation, umount the system file, reboot android
Hope this help (and hope you understood what I mean ... sorry for my english)
Regards
kind of crazy way to do it (previous post)
The correct way would be that once you install swype, you have to enable it, before you can select it as an input option.
Once installed, go to settings, then language and keyboard, and simply put a check mark in the swype box.
Then go to something like messaging, long press the text input box, and then select input settings. you should then see swype as an option.
Happy swyping.
if it works, throw some thanks my way.

Thats the problem though. Once installed, I enabled it. Everything seems golden at this point right? Tutorial screen pops up, blah, blah, blah. Go into messaging, text input options and theres all the input options displayed
*Qwerty
*Phone keypad
*Compact Qwerty
But Swype doesnt show up at all as an option. The radio button is still selected with Qwerty. I followed the previous posters solution though and it now works. Still doesnt show up in the Keyboard Types which is odd but at least its working.
What build are u using?
if ur using htc sense u have to adb push the file into ur system/apps folder
To get Flash 10.3 working on the stock browser you need to do two things:
1) force stop the browser process
2) Remove all permissions for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
*Fix also works for Dolphin. Just change com.android.browser to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
Changing the permissions restricts the flash plugin or the stock browser or the webkit or I dunno what from reading config.data. This file is screwing with video playback of anything over 240p.
What's weird is that the config.data generated for 10.2 and 10.3 appears to be identical, except for the ProductVer string. Since the file contains settings for h264 high, baseline and main profiles, there's probably some change in 10.3 to the way it uses this information.
Either way, this is a bandaid for those that don't wish to use Opera until the heart of the issue is found/addressed.
how do you remove permissions? i saw the ability to do this was added in a while ago in the nighthlies, but I've never had to do it....

You'll need to use a file manager that supports it. I use File Expert while others prefer Root Explorer.
Btw, this is not the same as application permission control which is what you are thinking of.

I'm running CM7...
using terminal emulator i can just do a cd data/data/com.android.browser and it shows the listing. but if i go to the file manager it doesnt show it. Weird.
So i was able to edit the permissions. My superuser app wasnt properly giving superuser permission to the file explorer, which is weird because during that time it worked for terminal emulator just fine...
I removed all permissions for it, but flash still isnt working.
nvm. Fixed. Left the boxes on the far right checked, for 'Exe', and unchecked all other read and write permissions boxes. Working so far.
Nice find! Works perfectly...
Was just about to do this but looks like the newest nightly will incorporate this fix.
Edit: nevermind, something different.

Having issue with fix
Hello. I've been trying to perform the fix but I'm running into an issue. I have CM 7.0.3 on a gTablet running Flash 10.3.185.23. I am using File Expert and it has been given access by super user.
The issue is that I can browse to /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/ but I do not see the config.data file in that folder. I have tried looking in the Dolphin Browser folder also but it's no there. I have even tried doing a search in the whole com.android.browser folder but it's still not finding it. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Thank you.
So I finally figured it all out and thought I would share.
I installed the "updated" version of flash 10.3 from here

Then I followed the same instructions as in this video to enable HULU, but dropbox is not necessary if you dont want it.

I was having trouble with the directory given in the original post because I had already set up Dolphin as my default browser, so the app_plugins...extension I was looking for was in there not in com.android.browser.
So in file expert, first make sure you have given super user permissions, then hit the back arrow at the bottom menu bar "2 times", press data, press data again, scroll down to the bottom to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser, there should be 2 files with the same name, dont choose the one with only a lib folder, it should have many folders, scroll to top and find app_plugins and press, press com.adobe.flashplayer, press .macromedia, press Flash_Player, at the bottom you should see config.data, long press the file, "operations menu opens" press file operations, then press permissions, uncheck ALL boxes.
Then go back into Dolphin Browser and give it a shot. I have been able to watch all episodes I tried on HULU and all videos on youtube in the browser, when in you tube and selecting videos to watch, make sure you choose the Dolphin choice and not m.youtube or browser, and dont switch back and forth between android and desktop mode, if you do you will revert the custom agent file back to a recognized mobile platform even if you choose desktop mode again, it needs to stay at the custom. I dont use any other browsers so I dont know if it will work for others, but I imagine the same file extensions will be associated with any browser you have set as your default and you should be able to do all the same steps. I'm currently running cm7.0.3 stable, hope this helps anybody that needs it.
it works !
in terminal just two command you need:
Code:
su
chmod 000 /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data

You didn't explain how you set up the stock browser being that dolphin was your default.

So couldn't you replace "com.android.browser" with the alternate folder respectively for any others browser you use?

Not in terminal no, but the other method yes.
Works perfect. No complains at all.
Thanks
