[Updated 7/13/2010] DroidX keyboard - Eris xtrROM theme

---

All-

Attached is a version of the new DroidX Multitouch keyboard that I have themed for my new release of xtrROM. I am not a fan of white or red and I like the raised key look screen shots below.

7/13/2010 - Updated new file that has a fix for the missing "<" key under ALT. Also fixed the long press on the "(" key. Please let me know if it works

A few notes:

• includes fix for the dark keypad number for when you are in a number only field such as blue tooth.
• vibrate on keypress has been fixed for Eris (not sure how it will feel on other platforms)
• fixed the display of the "&" from "&;amp;" in alt mode
• if you long press the "?123" key it brings up keyboard settings
• voice to text support works well

[Edit per thenestor]
If you're using a ROM that already has a stock Android keyboard, you have to rename this "LatinIME.apk" and push it to /system/app, overwriting the vanilla keyboard (it uses the same package name: com.android.inputmethod.latinime). If you're using a Sense-based ROM, you can install it like any old APK.

This "should" work across phone platforms and on nonrooted phones however I have not tested.

This is my first themed app so let me know if it works and enjoy!

CREDITS to thenestor for helping me find the keyboard and which libs to use and unknown for the initial pull from the DroidX

What are the prerequisites for installing this o seem to get this to work...the only thing that works for me is the flashable update on. The other thread

It worked on Cyanogen ELB.

Works on non-rooted RUU, looks sexy too!

I am using zach.xtr's ROM and I tried pushing this (without renaming) and I cannot seem to get it to take. I didn't rename because I don't think zach.xtr's ROM uses the standard keyboard. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Just to make sure, did you long press in an input field after pushing the file and select the Multitouch keyboard sounding option?

Yes I did. And what I got was a message popup about the multi-touch getting a FC.
