Animation on this keyboard is better imo
Wow I've just been getting the app from AC!D I'll have to test out this one. Couldn't you just delete Nooz.apk out of /system/app reboot and install from Play Store?
Oddly for the Maxx, I get an error from the store saying that the device is incompatible (meaning the phone is?) but on the nexus 7 it does not. I've also tried your method, (though I will do it for 1.7) on 1.5 and when I rebooted I get the screen that says Android is updating apps, but when I go to the control setting it just FCs. If you want I can send you the apk file for the newest version..
