We now have an official Gingerbread, but it seems the Original keyboard is missing?
All I see are swipe and Samsung keyboard, no Android or system keyboard.
In the market there are a few GB keyboards, any clue to which is the best?

Hi all,
Install the .apk file within the attachment to gain the launcher style from Gingerbread 2.3 for your Galaxy S. Tested on Froyo and seems to be working just fine
Here's a video for your amusement as well beside an an unboxing video of the Nexus S for reference.
Also, here's the Gingerbread keyboard ported out as an .apk file for your Galaxy S I9000. After downloading, go to "Settings" - "Region and Text", and check the option "Keyboard Android"
That done, start any application that uses the keyboard, press and hold the text box until the option "Enter method", choose "Keyboard Android" and presto, you have the new keyboard to input your texts. Enjoy!
Does anyone care enough to share their experience?

Just downloaded this to my SGS running Froyo 2.2.1 (Darky's 5.2 Gingerbread edition). Keyboard is awesome and has a lot of input languages. Love that you can change input language by just swiping the space bar. For me answering different emails from different languages it really takes some clicks out of my usual "change input method" routine. Works like a charm. Thanks.
In my opinion.
Launcher: not so special.
Keyboard: Very good but even after selecting haptic feedback i dont get any haptic feedback.

Hi,
Can you please tell me if it's for any "Official 2.2" ROM?

Should work with any ROM without any issues. After all, its not a complete theme renovating your Galaxy S, its just an app which runs like Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher and provides you a Gingerbread looking desktop.

It's not a complete perfect port yet, I'm not the developer so I'm not eligible to any credit given or negative feedback. I somehow stumbled upon the links online while conducting a small Gingerbread research.
I'll keep your posted for any updates though!
wher do i unzip the keybord files to

The launcher theme does work in several ROMs, but I noticed that the gingerbread keyboard force closes on insanity ROM. Any idea how to get it to work? Thanks!
I downloaded the launcher but I can't find any setting for it.
Keyboard works great but I prefer Swype
I really like this launcher in fact so much I have set it as default instead og LauncherPro. The only problem I have is that the app drawer takes a while to populate the first time it is used. It seems a little faster as well. Really like the predictability of the keyboard as well. not so many typo's.

How do you edit it? I mean.. i love the 5 icons of launcher pro, is it possible to have the same setting here?

As 2.3 is a Vanilla build the launcher as with all the un-skinned versions does not have much in the way of customisation options if any. Someone please correct me if I am wrong here.

I got thumb keyboard and it's the best so far~
or you can use the Gingerbread keyboard which is free and fast on typing.
unless you want swype or slideit (these are good but you hardly swype it and it's slower to register touch)
So folx
Im using the stock one, but im thinking of replacing it because of landscape lag (if the custom one will solve the lag in landscape) and enter key..
What keyboard you use ?
Swype.

Smart keyboard has been my go-to for a LONG time now. I still use it, but I find myself just using the stock ICS keyboard more and more...
I think I've tried just about every one out there (swiftkey, Go, ultra, better, touchpal, etc.) I still think Smart keyboard is the best. Love the customization, the tap-a-word to correct option, large space bar, gestures, etc. It just does everything well. It still uses the old voice-to-text style, and I do love the new voice-to-text options in ICS (word by word). I wish there was a way to access the new way in it...
Stock for me... Used the HTC IME across my other phones (HTC or not) but actually like the stock ICS one more now...
Swype Swype
I like STOCK ICS very much, but the darn landscape lag is irritating me.. And the missing of enter button... But the landscape lag is killing me .. Thats why im considering another keyboard... But i think ill stick to the stock one for little more time
Moslty ICS stock
Sometimes Swiftkey
For me swiftkey is the best. I'm just waiting for an ICS theme. Than it would be perfect

Stock ICS Keyboard themed by me.
Is there a keyboard with programmable keys? so i can assign emails, .com.
I use Swiftkey. Seems that finnish language prediction works best with it and it can handle multiple languages at the same time so its nice.
I am extremely happy with the stock keyboard. That is the first time i've ever been able to say that with any Android phone i've ever owned. I have almost every keyboard available (smart keyboard, swift key, etc) and none even compare to the ICS keyboard when it comes to auto correction.
I read somewhere that Google purchased a company developing an app called "Blind Type" and incorporated that into the ICS keyboard and i believe it. I can type very very quickly and it still does a fantastic job of auto correcting for me.
My girlfriend also has a Nexus and hated the look of the stock keyboard and has since then tried all other keyboards as well... she settled on smart keyboard but has said that even that is not quite as accurate as the ICS keyboard.
She is a very precise typer though and I rely on auto correct heavily to type as fast as I do.

Smart Keyboard. It comes with a dedicated .com button which can also be customized to long press other things (such as www. , .ca , .org etc)
As for me..I always used Smart Keyboard, up until ICS that is. I've been loving the improved accuracy and spell correction now implemented with the stock ICS...although I do still miss some features from Smart (such as some of the swipe options and number layout).
Does anyone know what roms allow you to hide or disable the little keyboard icon when you use different keyboards?

+1 for smart keyboard.
I really like the gestures and long-press for numbers/special characters. Also can change skins to modify the look of it. The auto correct/spell check is still pretty good with ICS.

Can someone post an ICS themed (Black background and ICS Blue letters/numbers) keyboard apk that will work on a stock rooted 4.0.2 build?
I'm using perfect keyboard pro
I cant live without swype, does it work on GN2? currently i have sgs3 and swype work perfectly on it. No i do not like Samsung trace.
Also with multi window, does swype work on that also? (internet and messaging with swype)
Thanks alot
Yes swype works on mutiwindow, as swype is not a seperate keyboard now, its a part of stock keyboard
Also swype from the site works well

is this correct?
I've just installed swype keyboard free on my SN2, and when i am using multi window, and getting the keyboard out for typing and email, it didnt have that 'floating' keyboard feature like the samsung stock?
same goes for all 3rd party keyboards, that in the multi-window environment, if you are typing something, it'll just dock to the bottom of the screen, not able to 'float' to be able to move it around for easy view/type.
Im looking for a stock keyboard that has swipe, along with current and next work prediction. Ive been using swype and swiftkey, but I was playing around with a friends android phone (not sure what kind) and it was all stock. I noticed the stock keyboard had this and was very accurate. Ive searched thru some of the ROMs for keyboards but didnt see anything. I did not like the Google keyboard in the app store.
Stock as in the Samsung keyboard?
Edit: they could've been using a theme, like I have Kii keyboard set up with the Google keyboard theme and its very accurate!
