You shouldn't need root for it. Just download, install, and enable in Settings -> Keyboard. And yes, it's really a multi-touch keyboard.

Anyone try this yet?

 

[grainysand]

Well, I have, obviously. Doesn't look the prettiest; similar to the unskinned HTC IME. You can peck two keys at once and it'll acknowledge both. The auto-correct is quite forgiving.

Haven't typed extensively with it, since I have Swype and that's still faster, but people have been clamoring for a multi-touch keyboard forever. I imagine someone used to it could belt out long e-mails pretty fast.

It didn't work I get an error process.com/androidinputmethod/latin something like that. How did you get it to work?

 

[grainysand]

Hmm. Weird, I just installed it as I would any other app. Mind you, I'm rooted and running CyanogenMOD 5.07, but the keyboard doesn't require root permissions so I've no idea. :/

Ah, yeah. It's not Froyo-compatible.

Force closes repeatedly for me. Shame.

 

[turbosol16]

Ah, yeah. It's not Froyo-compatible.

Well that sucks...

Ah, yeah. It's not Froyo-compatible.

Oops, didn't read that!
