Nook Touch friendly Better Keyboard skin

---

I hope this is the right place to post this. I installed Better Keyboard 8 on my rooted Nook Touch. It works great, but the skins all leave something to be desired on E-Ink. What I'm looking for is a simple skin with white keys and black text. I know Better Android (the developer for BK8) had exactly what I'm looking for free on the market, but I guess they got kicked off the market at some point (glad I had backup .apks!) and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Googling around usually just brings up broken links for the Better Android one.

Can anyone help me out? Maybe there's a skin that fits my description, some way I can edit a skin to get what I want. I believe SwiftKey's skins work on BK8 as well.

Here's essentially what I'm looking for. I apparently can't post links yet due to posts so you'll have to copy/paste.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That theme does look great, indeed. I'm wondering if GO Keyboard will let one get around the keyboard "drop-off" problem that Google Voice/Talk has on the N2E (i.e., the last row of the keyboard simply drops off the screen rendering the apps useless). Anyone try them both together?

Short question, does prediction show up in GoKeyboard? Or in any even?

I don't believe any predictive keyboard routine works with the N2E.

We need to try out all the keyboards and find which works the best.

A key thing for me is do they have tab key completion for ssh, also what about alt, ctrl and f keys?

To try out a keyboard apk you need:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb push  keyboard.apk  /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/keyboard.apk

then NookColorTools to select one of the new keyboards

Anyone know how I can activate GoKeyboard on my N2E?

Follow the instruction above your post.
Or download the file you want, rename it to keyboard.apk.
Using root explorer, make a copy of keyboard.apk from /system/app. Put it somewhere safe (sd card or computer).
Get the downloaded keyboard.apk and put it in the same directory as above (first, press the r/w button on top of the screen when on /system/app).
change properties to 644 (read/write for user, all others only read) using properties of file.
Reboot (not sure about this part, but it never hurts).
PROFIT!

actually no need to rename the apk
install the gokeyboard from market
move the gokeyboard.apk from /data/app to the system/app (i use ES file explorer cause this is FREE ),
restart your device
open NookColour Tools, choose keyboard
