[PORT] Droid 2 Multi-Touch Keyboard [Froyo] UPDATE! fixed4!

Got this working on a recent nightly for cm6 (dont see why it wouldnt work on any others too) also, it will most likely work on any deodexed rom (odexed im not sure) -- Let me know what does/doesnt work and ill try and do something or point you in the right direction.

this should also work with other phones (so far just hdpi phones)

EDIT: punk.kaos got it working on all phones! good work! thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764021

THIS HAS KNOWN ISSUES CAUSING THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD TO DO WEIRD STUFF ON THE DROID 1!!!!
something with the alt key not working correctly, i do not have a moto droid, so thats making it very tough to troubleshoot anything. anyone who does and wants to test some things, pm me, probably have some time this weekend to look at it

Ultimate Droid Extreme Froyo 6.00 (moto droid?)

CM6 (nexus 1)
modaco r21 (nexus 1)

BUGS:
- &amp on one of the keys, more of an annoyance than anything, will fix eventually fixed!
- crap, another &amp error, when holding the . key...fix coming eventually... fixed!
- < symbol fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- vibrates too lightly fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- others?

Voice input works too!

Back up your stock keyboard first:

FLASH (EASY) METHOD:
flash this from your recovery or from rom manager:

Geo411m has made a black colored one. details here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7684399&postcount=211
install the same as the easy way, otherwise download it and pull the apk out of it and install it with the manual method

ENJOY!

MANUAL (OLD) METHOD:
get both of these files:
apk:
fixed4: http://www.mediafire.com/?7q0406gqazq8rer
(harder vibrate, < symbol fix)
if you had an older version, be sure to switch to a different keyboard, then remove the old LatinIME.apk before pushing the new one over, otherwise you will get fc's like crazy!

lib:
(you may not need this, but it shouldnt hurt anything (backup instructions below) and if the keyboard doesnt work, then definitely try pushing it)
http://www.mediafire.com/?awy84cz5t8ngx49
some have reported that for some reason or another this file downloads as a .txt (although it comes as a .so for me all the time) make sure you rename it, if need be, to libjni_latinime.so before going any further

you will need adb for this method (others have done it without a computer)

youll either want to be in recovery, with /system mounted, or remount it read-only while the phone is up (need s-off for this, thanks unrevoked!)

then push the two downloaded files to your phone: (in some roms it is called GoogleLatinIme.apk, so use that instead of LatinIME.apk if thats how your rom is)

choose your input method like always, and enjoy the multi-touch keyboard on froyo



ok, the screenshots really dont mean much, anyone can use gimp, but w/e thought id put them up there anyway

thanks to LegionTHEFecalExcretion for the system dump!

I can't tell you how excited I was when I pushed this on my phone, not because of how it is a much better keyboard then the stock one. I was excited because I was able to push this system without having to be in recovery. UnrEVOked is amazing!

BTW.. I am having no issues with this so far. Excellent keyboard, good port!

i cant tell you how excited i was when the keyboard finally popped up on my screen!

thanks for the feedback

I can't push the .so file to my phone, the keyboard fc's on me when I try to select it in the input method section, so I thought i would try pushing the lib, but it keeps saying the directory doesn't exist.

this is exactly what i type

adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
cannot stat: 'libjni_latinime.so' no such file or directory

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

its saying the .so doesnt exist
is it located in the directory your command prompt is in? otherwise it wont be able to find it

djkms said:

It downloaded for me as a. Txt extension. I had to change it to .so - check to see if that happened to you
