Default Aosp ics keyboard

Update 2:T
There is something massively wrong with the dictionary on this keyboard. I am going to uninstall it and try another one. I'll leave this one up as it works, just has a dictionary that's missing basic words.


Update:
Ripped this out of a Sensation (qHD res) AOSP ROM.
Considerations:
  • Works perfectly
  • SMS app is not registering as such and therefore you are not getting access to emoticons but it does give you emoticons in G+
  • Notification is semi-persistent in the bar about selecting input type (no idea why)

To Install
  • Check install non-market apps in security settings
  • E-mail attached apk to yourself via gmail
  • Click install in gmail app
  • Turn on keyboard via "languages & Keyboard"

Original Post
Hi,
I really dislike the HTC Sense keyboard. Is it possible to just sideload the ICS keyboard?

There are a few available on the market but i much prefer just to use the raw apk, not someone has reworked.

Thanks!

I decided to give it a try:

I ripped out the keyboard out of this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1494373

e-mailed latinIME.apk to myself on gmail.

Clicked install and it worked perfectly.

Only issues is that I am still not getting the emoticons on the SMS app because the keyboard only shows emoticons in chat/messaging apps not email. The SMS apps seems to not register itself as a SMS/messaging app.

I've attached the keyboard to the first post for all to enjoy.
