of course, i'm on MIUI

have you had success with the dictionary?
i heard there was issues with the dictionary not working.

i've got full auto correct and dictionary thanks to google and dphase.

if you want the files i'll host them for you, but i'm not going to provide support, so you need to understand how to push 2 files and alter permissions, either with adb or something like root explorer.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4221310/LatinIME.apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4221310/libjni_latinime.so

latinime.apk goes in /system/app/ ... to make things easier i renamed latinimegoogle.apk(stock miui keyboard) to latinimegoogle.bak and moved latinime.apk and renamed to latinimegoogle.apk so it was the default keyboard. i had to alter permissions so they matched that of the original latinimegoogle.apk (644).

libjni_latinime.so goes in /system/lib/, you'll have to do the same as the apk... rename the original and put the new one in, also change permissions (644).

there is an easier way to install this keyboard via zip file. I dont know if we are allowed to post links to other forums (some forums dont like that) but I found it on another android forum and it installed perfectly for me.

this is true... a flashable zip could easily be made.... i just have no idea of knowing which dictionary is in there (if any) and i know that autocorrect and dictionary work perfect with the files i have, which is why i posted them :)

personally, i think adb push (or copy/paste) for 2 files is much easier and less time consuming than flashing a zip file

if you want to post the link from myn on XDA, go for it :)

The only issue I have had so far with the keyboard is my lack of ability to get a screen shot of it. I have a few other screen shots of my MIUI setup taken successfully in the past but for some reason it wont show correctly in the gallery or on my computer. Ill try with drocap to see if I have better results with that.

Edit: There we go drocap did the trick.

yea... no multitouch... i'm trying to figure out if its because of the port, or if for some reason the gingerbread keyboard doesnt have multitouch yet.

key detection is much better though, and the lack of multitouch so far hasn't been an issue.

If I'm not mistaken, none of the D1 virtual keyboards are multi-touch, not even the stock one.
