Any issues getting it to work on the NC?

1+ here ... I'm seeing a number of people say how great this or that keyboard works. I've tried them all, including the nookdevs suggestions to load, but the only thing my rooted 1.1.0 will do when trying to open Settings > Keyboard ... bam ... back to Home screen. Apparently its sheer luck to get one to work.

I was able to install it using the installer posted by the Dev. You have to already have the Thumb Keyboard apk.

Tried this, but didn't work for me. I'm getting to wonder if the the "Nook Color V1.1.0" Pre-Rooted ROM, which I think already swapped out the stock keyboard for multitouch, in some way affected the ability to even open Settings > Keyboard. Although its installed and I can access the info/settings from launcher, cannot use the keyboard itself. Followed all the steps and even did an extra reboot, all I can get is Settings > Keyboard ... bam ... back to Home screen. So can't choose to use it.
Anyone out there who bumped up from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0 via the "Nook Color V1.1.0" Pre-Rooted ROM able to get it to work??

^ Hmmm ... and thanks. Then something may have corrupted my Settings causing it to close when choosing Keyboard. I'm making a nandroid then as a stab in the dark try flashing Nook Color V1.1.0.zip overtop my set-up since it doesn't require doing a wipe. Hopefully that will fix the issue.

Also, after each reboot I have to activate again Thumb keyboard from settings.
Is there any way to make this change permanent?

Thumb Keyboard has an arrow pad when not in landscape mode. I wouldn't be surprised if you could configure the landscape view to have the keys as well, though I've never tried.

ThumbKeyboard has several layouts to choose from, some include arrows. In the marketplace, they pictured a standard layout with arrows on the bottom that looked really good. But, that is not currently compatible with the NC. The developer replied to me that he hoped to have an update in the future to include the arrows.
This probably should be a separate topic, but it is too bad some developer does not come up with a cursor/arrow app. I would buy it! My screen is not very touch sensitive (or my fingers are too stubby) and it is frustrating trying to move the cursor back to a specific place.

Did you have to do something special to get it to work? I've gotten it installed and I can type out words but the Swype function doesn't work.
