[Q] How can Nook Touch use spell checking keyboards?

---

I have tried several different keyboards that include spellcheckers and have been unable to see predictions and spelling suggestions. Since the Nook was not sold as a full android device it's very possible B&N left the necessary files out of the system. Can someone here let me know what files I would need to add to be able to use the spell check function? I've tried with several different keyboards and have installed their respective dictionaries so I believe it's not an app issue but a system issue. Thanks again everybody. Ryan

I installed SlideIt and found that word prediction works. try it. Note: I copied the apk to /system/app and used NookColor Tools to select SlideIT as my keyboard. I then had to actually execute and install the APK in order for it to show up. Once done, it works well. It takes up 1/2 of the screen, though.

Thanks I'll give it a try. I'm not sure if I was clear in my original post so let me try again. I am referring to the circled box where spelling suggestions are offered. I am unable to see the box.

Another way to do this:
- install the keyboard with ADB (and its required dictionaries),
- push all the installed APKs to the /system/app folder,
- change the APKs permissions to 644 (via shell/Root explorer/etc').
- reboot the phone, and select the keyboard through the NookColor tools.

I believe what Ryan mean is there is no word suggestion box on any keyboards installed on the nook ST. This breaks functionality of ALL 9 key keyboards and most language IME keyboards. Is there any way to restore this keyboard functionality? I also have the same problem. No keyboards which require that bar (highlighted in his attachment image) work.
I've tried:
Sougou tablet
Sougou phone
Baidu phone
Smart keyboard plus chinese
etc.
None of them display the spelling selection or character selection boxes, so this appears to be a problem with the android.

Known issue, predictions are there, however not appear. SlideIt works, but it sucks. The best keyboard, which works, is Jelly Bean Keyboard. As always you have to copy it to system/app

Thanks, it appears the only keyboards that were are back-ports of ICS and jelly bean. Possibly this is due to them including necessary dependencies that are not included on the nook? It would be great if someone could isolate the problem and make a patch.
