Download the zip file. Unzip the file. Open the folder, then system>app and that is where you will find the apk. Transfer the apk onto your phone and then install using astro or something similiar. Either two things will happen 1. it will install 2. it will not instal. It wont hurt anything. If it does install and then starts acting weird or force closing, then reselect the stock keyboard and uninstall. Let us know if it works!
