I just recently flashed CM7 RC1 to my phone to try out some Gingerbread goodness. Overall I like it but i find myself not liking the new Gingerbread keyboard compared to the Froyo one. I tried using Titanium Backup to remove the Gingerbread keyboard and installing the Froyo keyboard apk but that just results in the keyboard FCing constantly. Is the Froyo keyboard just not compatible with Gingerbread or does anyone have any tips to get it working?

Hi all. This is my first post on here, but through my reading i've rooted my Inc, bounced around between Skyraider 3.3.2, Virtuous 3.1, and now playing with Cyanogen mod 6.1 RC2. So far I'm really stable on the RC2 and like the vanilla experience. My only gripe is I miss the stock HTC keyboard really, I got used to it. I tried installing the HTC IME mod keyboard to no avail. Can't post the link to the thread on here yet, being a noob. Please help. Hboot .92, baseband 9.01 CM6.1 RC2 and included kernel.
Edit to addon: I have nandroid backups of both SR 3.3.2 and Virtuous 3.1, how could i go about pulling the stock HTC keyboard apps out of them to use with the stock android keyboard in CM6 (if its even possible)?
Ok, update after playing around some..... if you long press a text entry area, I've got it where i can see both the HTC_IME mod and the stock Touch Input as options, but when i select them they FC. I copied the clicker APK and HTC IME APK out of my virtuous 3.1 rom and put them in the system/apps, then changed the permissions which made them finally show up. Any ideas why im getting force closes? Still working here.....

I've been having this same problem... with the HTC IME and a version of sw*** that I have that people said was working. I'd love to get either one to work at this point.
CM6 RC2 / DInc
Anyone have any ideas for the new guys over here?
I have a rooted Evo running CM7 and i wanted to know if anyone had the HTC Evo Keyboard with the nav keys? Also i have the swype.apk from OTA 3.70 but it crashes does anyone know how to fix that? I tried using the swype keyboard from the latest beta but it does not work whenever i swype i hear that stupid tone but no text appears (i even tried to swype "as") but if i type "a" "s" then it works bt swyping does not. Does anyone else have that issue?
I don't know about AOSP ROMs, but I know that in most Sense ROMs you can download the stock keyboard with the navigation arrows. My spouse and I both run myn's Warm TwoPointTwo (RLS5). However, she wanted the stock keyboard and I downloaded it from myn's thread. Check to see if the thread for your ROM has this optional download.
If you want swype, you need to grab libSwypeCore.so as well from the OTA and push it to /system/lib.

I did search, but it appears there's been no answer on the previous threads on this topic.
Is there a froyo apk for CM7 yet? Will one be available?
Not sure I understand your question.
However, I hate the stock Gingerbread keyboard. I use the HTC IME v27 keyboard from my old Froyo/CM6 install. Works like a champ.
Er, I just mean is there a way to get the froyo keyboard when running CM7 (gingerbread)
Does anyone know of or know how to install a custom keyboard, like the one in CM7, onto FRESH 3.5.0.1? I am running this FRESH ROM which is 2.2 based and the keyboard sucks. The keyboard in CM7 is the one that I like the best, but I have too many problems with CM7 running all my apps so that is why I am on FRESH. I was using the HTC_IME Mod input method, but whenever I try to do a calibration it Force Closes on me. Is there a good keyboard that I can flash onto this FRESH ROM that will function as well as the CM7 one? If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
what color is your theme? and is it a gingerbread keyboard?

Another question is what apps won't run on CM7? I've yet to find one that will not run.
That is because they will all run.

I have RCMix S running on my desire and i want to have the HTC_ime from jonasl. But I only get FC's and i tried every version. Is there a solution for this problem or is it just impossible to run that input on Gingerbread?
nobody knows the answer?
im runnign htc_ime mod v27 without any problems on InsertCoin CM7 1.0.8 (which is based on RCMIX S)
however i also had FC if trying to restore this app with my backup pro, i have to do fresh install every wipe.
try deleting it and data and then install:

DONT install clicker since you are on a Sense ROM
Yup fresh install works great here on oxygen as well(with clicker.apk)
