GB keyboard with night mode

The OmegaCentauri Gingerbread Keyboard is a version of S. Lin's Gingerbread keyboard, with three additional features:
1. Night mode: You can switch the keyboard's theme to a night-vision friendly red mode. This is useful for non-rooted devices running astronomy apps (rooted devices can use ChainFire3D's night mode) and other nightmode-enabled apps. Your app may turn most of the screen red in its nightmode, but it won't turn the keyboard red, so your night vision may be damaged when you start typing something into a search box. But if you just switch this keyboard into red mode, this problem goes away.

2. All standard ASCII punctuation (less than, greater than, brackets, pipes, etc.) is available from the main keyboard screen, by holding down on the period or the comma.

3. The auto-suggest can be set to work in settings where normally the operating system turns it off (Settings | Show suggestions | except ...).

To activate the keyboard, first go to your system Settings, choose Language and Keyboard, and put a checkmark beside "OmegaCentauri GB Keyboard". Then long-tap on any input field on the device (i.e., a place where you're going to enter some text), choose "Input method", and select the "OmegaCentauri GB Keyboard". (Sorry, Android doesn't make it easy to switch keyboards, for copyright reasons.)

The keyboard has a little Settings icon you can use to set the theme to red (or back to Gingerbread), or to change any of its other settings on the fly.

I've been using this keyboard for about 8 years I belive and it just makes since. It's very user friendly and has been compatible with every device I've installed it on. It would be nice if the dictionary was a little better but that can be fixed by adding words to your personal dictionary as you go.

Not only does it have a night mode that's my favorite color, but it also makes the touch keys smaller, which I absolutely love! No one else in my family can use this so it's super helpful when it comes to them keeping their paws off my phone! ^_^

How do you make it appear as your keyboard color cause when i installed it i wanted to check it out and it wasn't as my keyboard :c

Small, lightweight, and good looking. Best keyboard for older devices, in my opinion. Pops up more than twice as fast as the default AOSP keyboard!

Long press doesn't give option for input method selection. Motorola Xoom TeamEos ICS 4.0.3 build 8.

All the word suggestions are lost, and I'm terrible at spelling, and I can't get it back.

Its kool n I like it but I didn't like the fact it said it may collect "private" info such as passwords and credit card numbers. Other than that its nice.

I really like the look of the red keyboard, but sadly there is no swype functionality. I can't go back to pecking out messages.

Just install and mess with your keyboard settings, just takes some getting used to!

Autocorrect prioritizes words in the user dictionary over normal words, even when those words were typed correctly, such as changing "no" to "neos". Fix this and add a way to edit the user dictionary, and it will be perfect

I loved my old gingerbread keyboard, but the new firmware update took it away. I got this one, but it doesn't recognize words like "so", "if", or "doesn't"! How do you NOT make a keyboard that recognizes basic English?
