Can somebody please make an APK allowing installing the GB keyboard alongside the ICS one?
With all due respect- the ICS stock keyboard sucks. The GB stock keyboard was awesome!
Please help!!!
Just download it from the market.
EXT LTE Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.4
Asus Transformer - ICS
Actually, I extracted the LatinIME.APK from a CyanogenMod 7 file.
Then used Root Explorer to install it.
My fear is, and I have yet to check, that installing a new nightly (which I do whenever a new one become available) will reinstall the ICS keyboard over it.
Although I could go through the process of manually reinstalling the Gingerbread keyboard, I would much rather have a solution which doesn't require that.

This is the oddest problem I have ever heard.... what do you like more about the gingerbread keyboard?

Yeah I'd also like to know why you prefer the GB keyboard as opposed to the very similar but slightly better looking ICS keyboard?

First and foremost- swiping the space bar in order to switch between languages.
Excellent keyboard but that of gingerbread ics remains better in my opinion!
Updates:
Switched from the KANG version to the official nightly.
My workaround seemed to work on the KANG version, but doesn't on the official nightlies.
I agree that the ICS keyboard looks better.
I would very much appreciate it if anyone could create an APK for the ICS keyboard which allows swiping the space bar in order to switch languages.
I don't really know why this feature was dropped. Maybe I just don't know how to set it up. If you do- please educate me.
Thanks!
I have no idea why ics keyboard doesn't have the swipe keyboard support for changing language input. this is a step backwards for android.
You can toggle multiple language support in the keyboard settings,Then just long press the space bar

Duh...
I don't want to long press the space bar. I want to swipe it.

Well from your original post you did say swipe but you didn't make it clear that you were aware of the long press feature,I was just trying to be helpful & being rude or a smart ass isn't helpful nor does it earn you brownie points!!!
Besides,Swiping & long pressing aren't exactly day & night.It takes maybe a millisecond more to long press than to swipe.

I was neither rude nor a smart ass.
Just to be clear- long pressing the space bar isn't enough. You need to select the language too (yet another redundant press).
I don't know about day and night, but for me the difference is noticeable.
I'm still looking for a better solution than my current one. Would very much appreciate help, wherever and whoever it comes from.

Right on,Maybe I took it the wrong way.Yeah that's true,It's definitely not ideal.What about a ICS themed GB keyboard,That way you will have the functionality you seek while maintaining the ICS look? If that sounds good I could do that for you.

That sounds awesome, but I wouldn't ask that of you.
I'm thinking of requesting the swipe functionality from the guys at work on CM9. I'm pretty sure they can handle it.
Thanks for your help anyway. It is indeed much appreciated.
Oh no....u have to take an extra second to do something! Better go tell Google to stop ics updates...

Language support aside, I find ICS keyboard to be 10x better in every department when compared to the GB keyboard.

Last time I checked the guys working on CM9 aren't Google employees.
Although, even if they were, I just wrote I was thinking of requesting it. Requesting. Not demanding. Just requesting.
Thanks anyway!

indeed was very convenient and fast.
is there a possibility to mod ICS keyboard and bring back the feature of swiping space bar/switch between input languages that way.
Thanks in advance.
this will allow you to take a picture using either the volume up, or volume down button. this is an edit to the htccamera.apk, so this does NOT mess with the volume settings.
Volume as Camera Shutter Button

In some other post you said that SR Zeus 1.3 is your fave ROM, most stable, etc. I totally agree, but your ICS theme for it makes it all the more special. Now with this mod, even sweeter! I'm currently rocking CM7 (i need a fully working camera, so no CM9) b/c I'm a flashing addict (ROM flashing, that is). Are there any support groups for those of us who can't go more than a few days w/o flashing? (Sorry for the off-topic).

editing of the .smali code in the systemui.apk
requires decompiling, editing the code, then recompiling.
that said, I've never tried to even do this MOD, if I did I'd make it, in the mean time, I can just make that icon transparent..
it will be a blank space if say the sync icon or something else is next to it

It looks like it's a "Live wallpaper" and by even removing the default supplied live wallpapers, this one is not effected - it sticks.
I wish someone would make is customizable.
Any DEVs out there that wanna take this on?
i wish we could unlock the screen by waving over and then pressing anywhere on the screen
that feature was available on the note 2, saved me from pressing the home button

So has anyone at all tried removing the quick glance lwp and do an apk file PLEASE I been looking everywhere and found nothing I hope to hear from someone soon thanks.
SAME
i really want to customize this. i really want to get rid off the animation. the point of quick glance is also to preserve battery. since super amoled only lit up the pixels used. i prefer just the time and notifications light up. NO ANIMATION.
Apk for this?

here is the APK modded glance view.apk. this is the modded version by me with all animations removed with just a simple black background. and if you want a different background. just open the .apk with 7zip or equivalent and go to /res/raw/background.png and replace it with your own imagine with identical resolution.
when you are done. go place it in /system/app
*make sure you backup your original glanceview.apk in /system/app
* restart phone right after overwriting the apk.
*phone might restart itself right after overwriting, this is normal, and it will ONLY do it once.
please only do this at your own risk.
I don't know how to...

I just got this today. When I first turned it on it did a load of updates, went to 4.2.2, then multi-screen was disabled. I read that a wipe would fix that, so I did so.
Now on the lock screen there are 4 shortcuts for apps, I can't find anywhere under lockscreen in the settings where I can change them. There's no "lock screen options" button that I think only exists in 4.1.
How can I change the shortcuts? I googled and couldn't find anything.
Also the the "home screen mode" is totally gone from the list. And the initial tips you get when you first turn it on are gone too :/

Ah, well, in that screen shot, I just found that with a google search to show where it was supposed to be. It's not there on mine as you can see from the original screen shot from my device.

Hi, sorry to bring this thread back up, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with this issue - it is essentially the same as the original poster, except I haven't got either "lockscreen options" or a "shortcuts" option in the lockscreen menu.
I've attached a screenshot. If anyone could have a look, would be appreciated.
