While Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread will slowly and steadily get ported to older devices, developers have already started to strip-out original core-applications from it as standard .apk android install files ready to be installed on older Android versions. One of the most interesting update in Google Android 2.3 is the all new neater (see comparison screenshot below) and more feature-rich keyboard with built-in text-prediction technology.

Just read-on for an illustrated step-by-step installation guide on how to get your Android OS the latest keyboard update as easy as it can get.
Android 2.3 Official Keyboard APK Install Instructions :
- Download any one of the following APK files as per your need and install them as you usually do.
- signedkey.apk (US dictionary only)
- gbkb.apk (renamed pack so it does not replace the default keyboard with BG, CS, CZ, DA, DE, EL, EN, ES, FI, FR, HE, HU, IT, NB, NL, PL, PT, RU, SL, SV, and UK dictionaries.)

Still don't see the Voice input setting
Hi. I followed your instructions and install these packs. But I still do not see the voice input setting option nor the mic on the keyboard. I have android 2.3.7 with cyanogedmod ROM recently installed.
