Droid X keyboard

ive been trying to get it for a while now and one site i got it off of any time i would install it it would keep force closing every time i opened my keyboard.

my phone is not rooted..its that why i cant get it , can someone help me with a good d/l link for a non-rooted user?
 
im havign same problem zero so thanks for posting this..... cuz i need help too im in same boat as you phone not rooted either..
 
Uhhh theres a major issue with this one, the Z and Y are in opposite positions... its no long QWERTY its QWERTZ haha damnit! Anyone else notice this??
But i can still type twice as fast as any other keyboard on this thing. I love the DX keyboard it's the best.

same problem and than the other links wen i go to download they say there is no program to run this file ??? Wats up ?
 
Mine is fine (QWERTY, not QWERTZ). Probably cuz I'm using the root version?

I like the keyboard, but I hate that there are no "long press" options for numbers and symbols.
 
yeah i just rooted last night so i need to switch over to that one. The German one is the one that is showing up as QWERTZ and it does work fine non-rooted just use a file explorer and install it from SD and its good to go.
 
I'm pretty sure we all have had this keyboard all along. When you go in to Language & Keyboard, choose "Multi-Touch Keyboard", then from your input method, change to Multi-Touch.

I spent so much time trying to load it when it's already there.

I don't have that in my Keyboard settings...
 
Watching and waiting patiently here. I also tried the several downloads, and none worked. All force closed. Currently using the Vlingo keyboard, but wanting the Drioid X one.

I'm waiting as well. I remember the Droid X keyboard being available with 2.1, and that's probably the version thats FCing on you. That QWERTZ keyboard is awesome, if only it weren't QWERTZ..... I might finally have an acceptable replacement for the default keyboard!

Edit: Did anyone actually try installing the "rooted only" version on their non-rooted phone? Cause I just did and it worked fine! I get the user dictionary and everything, and its QWERTY. Just only install the apk (just like any other apk you would install) Here's a link to make things easy:

I did a google search and found a link to one that specifically says for Froyo, but it does not work either. (sigh) still waiting. I also don't want a QWERTZ layout.
 
I tried it directly from the link you provided, but it did not work either. Once i download it, i hook the phone up to the computer and trransfer the file. I then open it with Astro File MAnager, and it shows that it is installed, but evrytime i try to open it, i get a force close message. I do have the box checked for multi touch keyboard.
