Keyboard rumblings ...

I got a bit lost with changing the keyboard.

I decided to give Better Keyboard a try which is available as a 7.0 beta2 apk at the moment over here.

It shows up in applications allright after installing it.

When I try to use any keyboard the eDGe now starts showing "com.android.inputmethod.latin" as having "stopped unexpectetly".

Then when I try to change the input method (holding text input field or Enabling Better keyboard / Selecting Input Method) I get not to choose between "Android keyboard and Better Keyboard" but between "Android keyboard and Android Keyboard" ...

Having just written this I realise I have left a single tickbox activated under Android keyboard settings un the Locale & text Submenu.

Unticking this I now get to choose alright.

BUT opening the browser and trying to put some text in the searchfield ... I get no keyboard popping up ...

Instead I'm back with the Message "Edit text / Input Method" and the following opportunity to "Select Input Method" ... Android Keyboard or Better keyboard" ...

So no success.

Any other results?

Well I guess that's because that would require a download over the market place again? Or did you try to add the apk from somewhere else?

Is there any chance of getting hold of a keyboard with QWERTZ Layout and included german "Umlaute" = ö, ä, ü for the eDGe by the way ? Would improve its usability for me immensly .

Hints would be most welcome.
