I also tried to uninstall it directly from the App Manager that popped up in Astro but I get "installation not successful". Last edited by BarryR; 01-22-2011 at 04:19 PM. Reason: changed "write" to "read" above |

Alright, since it said installation not successful try changing the extension of the gingerbread file so it will be ignored. Change it to GingerBread.bak adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system adb shell mv /system/app/gingerbread.apk /system/app/gingerbread.bak adb reboot |

I ran the above commands and strangely get: failed on '/system/app/gingerbread.apk' - No such file or directory I noticed that it's com.android.inputmethod.gbltn Is that the file that's supposed to be there? Do I have gingerbread half uninstalled? PS: I'm including the following screen shots so you know that I'm neither insane or dumb: |

How about installing Gingerbread again. See what happens. Maybe it will clean itself up. Do you have the .apk?
Root Explorer would just be able to delete the thing. |

Are the file names case sensitive? Does it have to be GingerBread.apk?

I tried reinstalling gbkb-en.apk and gbkb.apk both fail: [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS] I'm not sure I'll really use root explorer again as it's a bit beyond my technical abilities, but that might be the best answer. |

PS: Are there any other keyboards I should look at?
I read about slideit but that may not be my thing. |

OK, I thought you were without a keyboard. So you're using the Multi-Touch one now?
The only other keyboards that may be of interest are SlideIT (swype and arrows) and Ultra (with arrows). They are paid apps though. I have SlideIT. |
