Anybody know where to find an AOSP ICS keyboard apk or similar to install on our phone? Currently running official ICS, with root and swiftkey isn't cutting it anymore, nor is swype or samsung keypad. Already googled it and searched XDA and couldn't find anything

Download CM9 and get the LatinIME.apk and place it on the system/app partition. Then, go to clockwork recovery and run Darkside.Cache
Try searching ice cream sandwich keyboard in the playstore. I have one it works great.

Thanks, I'll try that. As for the ics keyboard app, tried it and it didn't work properly for me. When I ran the darkside beta based on gs2 ics it let me do voice typing and as I talked it would type during instead of waiting until I was done. Trying to get that back.

Did you change permissions using any root explorer app. Permissions should be set like this..
x x
x
x
would a permission change fix the complete instability that i got from trying to use it? Thought i was going to have to do a full wipe and restore on the phone, it kept locking up every 10 seconds trying to open keyboard
Ok, so tries changing the permissions and doing a darkside cache wipe, now settings work but the keyboard still crashes out a vary few seconds when keyboard tries to open. Any ideas?

Yeah basically.. and when I try to swype the swype a blue line outlines the keyboard and it doesn't input the "swyped" word
Try deleting swype and downloading the newest from Swype's site.

On swypes website, it says if it came preinstalled on your phone, the beta may not work. Try force closing and restarting swype from the running applications menu under settings and delete the data it stored. Restart and see if that fixes it

Totally ignored that when the new beta came out. Renamed Swype.apk to Swype.bak and downloaded and installed it. Haven't tried it with the newest one yet.

I redownloaded after updating to CM9 and it works just fine for me. I dont think you could mess it up too bad though.
*NOTE PLZ READ FIRST not responsible, your actions are your own*
Did a little digging and found this from the GS2 9100 Section (not For our t989 model)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679856
claimed to fix force close for S voice on GS2 9100
...any dev figure out how to port this over to t989 or if this can even work on ours?
thanks
S voice already runs perfectly using the zip in our theMes and apps section. You just have to use a Samsung ROM for full functionality.cm9 doesn't have all the Samsung apps so you will get force closes related to that issue

I installed SVoice on the stock ICS ROM for the T989 and the network errors kept occurring until I changed build.prop. Even after I changed that however, SVoice just kept FCing. Finally gave up on it and deleted it.
I have it working great on tdj latest tmo ics and thats with touch of color theme on top. Are you flashing zip or just trying to install apk?

I installed the zip via cwm, I removed .apks from /system/app to make room for 30MB voicetalk.apk, I set permissions, I changed owners, I re-installed via root explorer, I rebooted, and was still getting FCs. I was also getting constant network errors until I edited my build.prop to mimic the s3, but I was never able to stop the FCs.
I didn't change anything with root explorer. Just flashed and darkside cache wipe and rebooted. Voila..MAGIC!!(future voice)

Update: with its normal apk, it didn't work yesterday.
I changed the original apk with the one you posted here, and then it worked.
We don't have connections, radio or wifi, on that port, so I couldn't test if it really worked, but atleast we know that it's opening without force closes.
I think it has something to do with the new APIs, but I really hope I'm wrong

Let me explain myself better:
Yesterday night I installed the 4.1 ported rom but the voice search was force closing.
I came back to ics, and tried to install the app. As you also saw by yourselves, it's not working on ics.
I then decided to try again on jelly bean, but before flashing I changed the original voice search apk with this one. Then I flashed the rom and whilst the engine keep force closing as soon as you try the speech test, the application itself is able to launch without force closing.
Long story short: on ics it's not working for me either; on jelly bean it does, but the ported rom has no connectivity so I couldn't test it.
I downloaded the .apk file and tried to install it. Its says Parse error: There is a problem parsing the package.
The apk's from the Galaxy Nexus are odexed in stock form. There is a velvet.apk and a velvet.odex file along with it! The velvet.apk only will not do the trick; it has to be a de-odexed version of it to begin with!
Is the file from the OP a de-odexed version?
I would love this working my Galaxy SIII!

I am not a developer, but I really want the google now functionality!!
If anyone is willing to assist me as I try that would be great!!!! I'm willing to learn and would love to learn.
Now that we have received our new JB 4.1.2 update from T-Mobile (yeah! :victory, I have a question.
Samsung licensed Swiftkey technology for their keyboard. It does look much better and respond better than before. I also own Swiftkey. That said, I'm waffling between sticking with the stock keyboard and saving some memory versus running Swiftkey and having some additional options for customization.
What do you do?
Do whatever one you prefer, don't know why you want the answer given to you, just preference. Don't stop using apps just because memory more this phone has its memory
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I stopped using SwiftKey because:
1) it was not remembering the words I told it to remember.
2) swipe prediction was terrible.
Using Swype now.
I prefer the note 2 keyboard myself because it has the numbers on top and I don't have to keep it that stupid little button on the side to make my numbers pop up.

Or just use the free note 2 keyboard from a flashable zip.

Only SwiftKey can insert space bar by swiping over the space bar without letting go of your finger. I find that really hard to beat. I'll stick to SwiftKey until I find something that could do better.
Been looking
Hi guys first post ever here in XDA. Been lurking for a while.
I have the Frosty JB 4.1.1 v11.2.1. I removed alot of apps through Titanium and when I do a factory reset, I don't have any keyboards. I am looking for the stock or note2 or the new 4.1.2 keyboard to install. I have swype but want to get stock so I can put it in the proper folder for factory resets so I wont be without a keyboard upon reboot. I have searched and all I keep finding is themed KB and cant get them to work. I hate the dev stopped producing the frosty rom, I love it on my phone. Cant find the v11.2.1 or I would just start fresh there.
Thanks in advance.

You can either "convert to System app" using TiBu Pro or move the .apk to the /system/app folder and reboot. Root is required for either.
And just fyi, there shouldn't be a link to the note2 kb in the themes and apps sticky.

Because your SwiftKey is from the black market if you have one from the play store and latest upgrade it will stick after reboot like my.

Thank you all. I found tp2215 library and picked up the note2 and installed via zip in cwm.
Then bought the TIBU, per DJ_SpaRky recommendation. I then made a sys app out of the note2.
I just did a factory restore and whamo, Im up and going.
Thank you all very much.

Its all based on your preferences. I have used both and didn't think anything could be better than swiftkey till I saw the new Samsung keyboard on the s4 Note2 roms. I go back and forth now looking for a new king. I like the option of having the permanent numbers row on the ported note2 but I am also trying the new Kii keyboard on the play store. Install them all and swap back and ofrth in settings untill you decide which works best for you. I currently have 4 or 5 installed.
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that both the launcher and the new google now seem to work fine on the LGOG.
Everything is pretty snappy and there are some cool new features.
Wanted to let you know, the new google now has something similar to the "always listening" on the Moto X and it's really cool.
Haven't run into any issues, but if any of you guys do, go ahead and post them!
Steps:
Manual
1.Download and install PreBuiltGmsCore.apk, Velvet.apk, and GoogleHome.apk like any other apk.
2.Using a file manager as root, copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so over to /system/lib and overwrite if prompted to.
By Flashing
1.Download and flash GOOGLEHOME.zip.
2.Using a file manager as root, copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so over to /system/lib and overwrite if prompted to.
New 4.4 apks including Hangouts, new camera, new keyboard, new google now and launcher:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-home-android-4-4-launcher-apk/
libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so:
https://copy.com/aGcxY (Thanks jblazea50)
Confirmed working on:
Carbon ROM
Slimbean
CM 10.2
Troubleshooting:
-If you can't find /system/lib, try a different file manager
-If Google Now force closes, try changing the language to English UK (though this doesn't seem to make a difference on the LGOG)
I can't seem to get Google now to go past "initializing". Tried changing the language to no avail

To get Google now/search to work, you need to take the file from the zip and place it in system/lib and change permission.

I am hearing that this thing is pretty ugly due to it being for a 1080 screen and most phones are still 720.
If you have it loaded can you attest to the "ugliness" due to the screen difference. maybe a screenshot?
I installed all 3 apks in the order specified but when i choose the new launcher, i get google search fc. I tried to change the language for google now while using the lg launcher but it didnt work. Also tried to copy that file to system/lib and it didnt work either.

Did you change permission on the lib file? Also, do a reboot afterwards. Remember you have to install the Google Services app also.

Has anyone gotten this to work? I've tried everything and I can't get this launcher to work??? I can get google now to work but when trying to open the launcher to work it says "google search has stopped" Idk I'm about to give up...
idk how i got here...
Same boat, FC Google Search when trying to use the launcher. Everything else seems to be working, saying "Ok Google" works if Google Now is open, but have tried all fixes for the launcher and still get FC's.
I'm gonna try to make a list of ROMs that the launcher works on (after file overwrite at /system/lib).
Could the people that it works for please let us know what ROM they're on?
Just as I suspected. Only works on AOSP/CM based ROMs for now.
