So im running the Noob rom and somewhere i aquired the ICS Keyboard. I dont remember if it came with this rom or another that i had flashed before i found this one.
Anyway... I have deleted all other keyboards but this one, and i placed this one into my system apps. Everything works perfectly EXCEPT. whenever i reboot my phone, i get a force close popup for ics keyboard. The notification makes my phone basically inoperable as it pops up every couple seconds until i restore my ics keyboard through TB. Then, all is well until i have to reboot again. Any ideas? I did this same method with Swype (my old key board of choice), and it worked fine.

Background info may or may not be helpful:
I dont have TB Pro so i can not make the file a system file through TB. I used ES File Explorer to move the file. I have used it for Zeam launcher, Be weather, ICS Camera + and a few other files to make them system files, and all continue to worked fine, even after reboot.

PPS-
I seldom reboot my phone as my phone runs like hot butter :)

Thanks in advance for all your brain power

Have you ran a fix permissions? I suggest you do so by booting into cwm going to advanced then fix permissions and it should fix the issue
 
You got the keyboard from my rom... this is an easy to fix problem... just unzip the keyboard apk... you can use winrar on your computer or you can do it from your phone... inside you will see several folders... one will be called "lib"... go inside of it and you will see a lib file... copy and paste or move it into /system/lib/... restart and boot into cwm... fix permissions and then reboot and the keyboard should stop force closing

You guys are rock stars!! Thank you that did it. I had to move the lib file over, as fixing permissions alone didnt do it. And thanks Jetx for the keyboard. I didnt think i was ever going to move past my swype beta... And here i am :)

No problem... it took me 2 days to figure out how to fix it... Google was no help at all... and yeah... I used to be in love with Skype until I found this

You guys prefer it over swype and or swifkey? I use both swype and swifkey 3...Wasn't that pleased w/ ICS...maybe i'll give it more of a chance lol.
 
I'm kind of a clumsy speed typer and this keyboard has the perfect auto correct... it balances out my clumsiness and optimizes my typing speed... I suck with every other keyboard

Yeah i thought the same until i got used to swifkey, i love it. autocorrects perfectly. ICS does seem to have more accurate keypresses though.

Yeah... I have huge fingers... so accuracy is extremely important.... its a huge improvement over the stock gingerbread one in my opinion...
