Download: Multi-Touch Keyboard from DROID X

by: Kellex | posted 06.24.10 | News, Videos

That was quick. Phone just got released to media members yesterday and someone has already started ripping goodies from it. First up, the multi-touch keyboard. Yay!

I was able to get this to work on my non-rooted Droid Incredible flawlessly and should also work on a 2.1 Droid. With that said, I was unable to get it to work on my 2.2 Froyo Droid. Apparently it will work with Froyo, but my JRummy’d version didn’t like it.

Video action…

Instructions…

*For all users. Rooted and non-rooted.

1. Download this file to your SD card: repackaged-signed.apk
2. Once it finishes, tap on it and then click “Install.”
3. When that finishes, exit out and go into Settings>Language & Keyboard
4. Check the box for “Multi-touch keyboad.”
5. Exit out and open a text box, long press and choose “input method.”
6. Select “multi-touch keyboard.”
7. Done!

Please let us know in the comments if you get this to work on a 2.2 ROM or stock 2.1 Droid. Thanks!

And another big thanks is in store for the guys at XDA Forums for porting this over. Amazing work again.

This has also been added to our downloads page.

Cheers Greg!

if you are rooted you can download it for 2.2 at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/cvpcs/70430-th… and flash it. its down a little ways and its called d2kb.zip im using it and it works fine. i dont know if it is 100% the exact same. works well though

it is a pretty sick keyboard, but what is the deal with the privacy and it being able to remember what is typed?

put on stock Evo , no landscape now.

The “&” symbol comes up as the html code of the symbol (“&amp”) and doesn't quite fit on the key when in portrait mode.

After a few moments of unresponsivity, the key board popped up and it is amazing! Thanks guys, now if only we get that cool Magnification point from the DroidX and some of the Motoblur-style widgets.

dropped in in my droid stock 2.1. Voice works, types nice, no vibrate. Warnings about source getting your text? Anyway, It triggered a blank screen, no apps on the page. Fiddled around and got it back but it seems to have some kind of bug for now. We'll try later but thanks for the info!

forecloses on buglessbeast v0.3…

I had to download it twice for some reason, but it worked perfectly the second time. It does have the speech to text icon on handcent, and that's really the only time I ever use it. It will take a little getting used to, but the speed that I'm able to type on it is incredible. Now if I can just get my accuracy a little better.

BTW, if you want to use the multi-touch keyboard as default you can unselect the Android keyboard option under the Language & Keyboard settings and just select the multi-touch option.

Installed and had no issues.. like it better than stock Android keyboard so far!

On the keyboard my “&” button says &amp. No vibration when pressing keys and no swype. Its ok but could be much better. Going back to default but keeping it. Hope a better one come around ……….. Droid Incredible
