custom themed htc hi ime keyboards work - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

just tried my custom (univ of mich. htc ime high res keyboard)
by installing the .apk and clicker.apk. and it works fine on our phone.. they are very customizeable.. include all kinds of options and voice search in keyboard.. in addition it gets rid of the stupid multiple letters coming out in the stock keyboard when you dont want it (must have better detection of that case i discussed in a previous thread).. recommend you try it here.

[Q] Can I use a deodexed stock keyboard on any ROM?

Here is my issue. I have the Gingerbread Evo Deck ROM 1.0 and I want to use HTC's stock 2.3.3 keyboard. I downloaded a deodexed stock 4.54.651.1 Evo ROM, unzipped it and pulled the HTC_IME.apk. However, I cannot get it to work on the Deck ROM. I tried installing just as an app, no dice. I then unzipped the Deck ROM, replaced the LatinIME.apk with the HTC_IME.apk, rezipped and reflashed. As soon as it loaded, I kept getting force close errors talking about touch input. Is there something else I need to install, or will it just not work? I also considered whether or not I had to rename the HTC_IME to LatinIME, but haven't tried it yet.
I have searched the forum, YouTube, Google, etc.; so if this has been answered, I apologize. I just couldn't find anything directly related to my situation.
I admit I am new to this, but I can follow directions very well. I have so much I want to learn. This place is a gold mine.
Hey,
Im not to knowledgeable with android programming but I think the issue could be somewhere between the ASOP rom and using the keyboard from the sense. Their still based off the same things but are remarkably different in aspects so I wonder if the issue is somewhere in there. There is a lot of different apps in the market for keyboards though so im sure if you could find a sense stock keyboard in there! I hope it helps!
Good luck,
Stevo
If u want HTC ime on aosp u will need to use the mod search Google for HTC ime mod kitchen and you can make your own custom HTC ime that's an installable apk
Edit: I am using it on decks 1.3 to type this message out

Thanks, I will give this a shot in a few. So, once I make the custom HTC_IME, I can just install the apk and it will work? I do not need to install any additional files, etc.?
I have tried a few of the market keyboard apps before, I am still partial to the stock HTC one, though. I love the text field navigation keys along the bottom and it has the hide keyboard button. I also type in Spanish and English, and by changing your language settings to Spanish then back to English, the microphone button becomes a English/Spanish toggle button. You can still long press it for voice commands, too. (pics included for reference).
The one thing the mod kitchen doesn't have is the arrow keys but there's a 3rd party keyboard called thumb keyboard 4 that has them and themes and it has several layouts and you can even customize the layout and sizes of the keys its pretty cool I snagged it from Amazons free app of the day a while back but definitely worth the money if u decided to purchase it

HTC IME MOD Keyboard crashing

I just flashed Calkulin new ICS rom and for some reason the htc keyboard crashing after typing a few letters. Ive searched this forum and found no answer. I PM calkulin about this problem and of course no reply. Can someone suggest a keyboard that just as good as this one or at least a fix to keep it from crashing out.
I like this keyboard because of the dedicated typing area it gives you when in portrait mode.

May I suggest Perfect Keyboard Free or the AI type keyboard. They are both good keyboards to me. I like Perfect Keyboard Free a little better. They are highly configurable and feel like the htc keyboard that I had on my EVO. I am currently using Perfect Keyboard on FC07 without a problem. It is fast, responsive, and does what I want it to do.

I've seen a couple posts with this issue, as well as it happened to me. For some reason the ics roms do not like the HTC ime keyboard. Perfect keyboard would be the way to go

Go keyboard is the best in my opinion. You can customize theme and everything
Sent from my iPhone killer.
If you use ICS Rom, there are lots of chances that you may see the weird stop errors from many places something like system apps, user apps and even from the network communications.
For many cases, if it started failing then it will continue to fail until you remove the failing apps. Or sometimes, rebooting the phone resolve the issue but it could happen again in any moment.
So, best way to resolve the issue in ICS Rom would be reinstalling the failing app.
In my opinion, it seems like there're some bad process or service running that makes other applications force-stopped. Once the application force stopped, usually the system is getting warm and hot (meaning it's continuously retrying to launch the application or doing some post processing).
If the re-installing the application does not resolve the issue, then the best way would be 'waiting' until stable ICS Rom comes out in the market.
For me, lots of application re-installed because of force stop error -
Youtube(stock), Waze, Xing player, n7player, battery monitor, email (stock), facebook(stock), Root Toolbox( seems like compatibility issue with ICS)...
I had the problem of the keyboard popping up even though I repeatedly selected SlideIt. I finally just took it out by way of TB
I use htcime_mod on my non-sense (lol at the pun) roms as well. I found that disabling the Prediction/Spell Correction/Word Completion under the Text Input option keeps the keyboard from crashing. This may suck for those of you who rely on auto-correction and suggestions, but i personally have a vendetta against t9 and i only use this keyboard for the ease of symbols access.
I proffer that the issue is thus dependent of the way the IME accesses the dictionary to correct/suggest words. Maybe the libraries are renamed/moved, and it is trying to access an invalid path? Just a theory.
Above all, remember that YMMV because I am using an HTC Vision (T-mobile G2) running CM9 pre-alpha 2.5 unofficial ICS build.
Hope this helps,

I had issues on Calk's so I downloaded Goodness and extracted the HTC IME MOD apk from it and pushed it to system/app. After setting the permissions and restarting I haven't had a problem since. Give it a shot and see.

Swype Beta

Hi,
I have installed Swype Beta on my One X and it runs well to start but then if you restart or sometimes it just changes to half the screen width.
Anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone have a modified APK like the Galaxy Note that sets the correct screen size?
yes, i've got the same issue , and if i'm going back to stock keyboard and then to swype again it's normal.
I got the same issue...
Also downloading the Danish layout took forever!!
If you put the phone in portrait orientation, it fixes.
Mine does the same too. Just switch between HTC Keyboard and back to Swype and it usually fixes it.
Yup, I've the same issue too. Quite annoying to keep changing every time it happens.
Same here - A restart or switching keyboards fixes it.
I've found that HTC's inbuilt Swype equivalent Trace, works just as good as Swype. Plus it means one less process in RAM.
To test it out, activate it: Go to Settings - Language & Keyboard -HTC Sense input - Then turn on trace.

Yep, I'm trying it out after using Swype for over a year. I'm getting on pretty well with it. I miss some Swype features (like double-tap word for suggested alternatives), but I find HTC Trace surprising accurate, perhaps more so than Swype. Plus with the HTC keyboard, the cursor keys are right there on screen (except when the 3-dot menu hides them). Definitely pleasantly surprised with this, I'll keep it for a while before deciding whether to switch back to Swype.
I had the same problem with the latest Swype. I found that an earlier Swype version works great though.
I don't think we're allowed to post links to Swype APKs, but if you Google for DarkSwype v5 you'll find it. Plenty of other colour themes available too - I'm using the ICS-Stock-Swype version. Looks good and works without any resizing problems, so long as you stick to v5.

Cheers to you mate, this indeed in an alternative to Swype. Not as fast, but alternative.
I was using Swype with my DHD for almost a year and with One X that wasn't working anymore due to a tiny keyboard at the bottom left of the screen. Too small to use and very irritating. Suddenly, one realizes u simply can't type anymore letter by letter. It has become ancient, really.
Thanks again.
I get the tiny keyboard bug too but if you rotate the phone into portrait mode and back into landscape, the problem will be fixed.
I too decided to try swype on my one x. Aside from the size bug its OK. Personally i think it would benefit from being a bit taller but thats must my opinon.
I like HTCs Trace keyboard however i wish it would do what Swift key does and put a space after a full stop automatically.
I dont like having to manually press space sometimes to get it to put a space in...
Swype like input with swift key's features would be AMAZING!

Thanks a bunch for pointing this out. I was really missing Swype from my prior Samsung phones.
Solution for all suported languages!
I have found the way to run swype beta with languages that I need for our resolution.
1. Download official swype installer from beta.swype.com
2. When installed, run it and download a new beta version of swype
3. Go to Settings/Language and keyboards and in swype settings download languages that you need (in my case Serbian and Romanian)
4. When languages are downloaded and installed, download from web this modded version swype-3.2.6-gn-land-320.apk
5.Install it and when system asks to replace application, answer with yes
6. Go to Settings/Language and keyboards and set swype as default input method
First time when you try to use it it might say that loading of some LanguageLA file failed, but it works and it doesn't appear anymore

Worked like charm. Thanks for adding the apk.

Thanks for the APK however when i tried to install it I had to uninstall the previous version of swype I'd got due to a signature mismatch and now with this new one installed I can't download any language packs so I'm going to have to revert to unmodified one sadly.

You know you don't have to press the full stop button you can just press the space bar twice. Just like that.

[Q] Issues with/questions around Sabsa Prime

EDIT: This thread has gone dead, updated the title as it also applies to the most recent version of the ROM. Still looking for answers on the questions in bold format. Especially the last one - about the radio version, as the rest really is about features in the ROM. Thanks!
Hi,
This is my first post in these forums, so I hope you'll bare with me. I am trying to stick to the rules, and have searched a lot for answers, but still have some questions. I really appreciate this forum, and I can thank you for my phone not being totally outdated (Thanks HTC...)
First of all I want to say thank you for a great ROM! I can't post in the official thread just yet, but hopefully I will get there soon.
I have a few issues/questions/suggestions though:
- Both in v.6, 6.5 and 7 I get an error when enabling notifications in facebook. After a minute or so I get a notification that fb notifications have been disabled because my phone doesn't support push-messages. But I'm sure it does, cause I get push notifications from other apps. Without this function the fb app loses half of its value. Solved
- My phone automatically reboots when I try to access soundhound from within the fm-radio, is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?
- I've seen this posted before,but have yet to find an answer. Although enabling arrow keys for the keyboard this will only enable them on the English keyboard. Could you please be so kind and add this option for the other languages as well? Would be great if you could just choose "enable arrow keys", and this would then be on all keyboards.
- It would be great being able to zoom in/out in the camera appwith the volume buttons. This used to be standard in the official ROMs.
- I saw someone in the official thread saying that you could pull down the notification bar when the phone is locked. I actually had it the same way, but just now found out that there wasn't actually a real screen lock enabled. Yes, I got the pattern screen every time I unlocked the phone, but then realized any pattern would be accepted. When I configured a new screen lock in the settings it was no longer possible to pull down the notification bar when locked =)
- Is it okay to batch restore all apps and system settings in Titanium backup when you upgrade to a new version of the same ROM, or do I have to do each one manually? I'm not sure exactly what all the 200+ items change, so it's kind of hard selecting them. Any tips&tricks on this would be much appreciated (Links etc. too).
FYI: I am using a Desire HD, full wiped and installed the ROM, but am using RADIO 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M. The reason I never changed this is because I didn't experience most of the issues others were describing in the official thread. Could any of my problems be caused by this? And would there be any huge advantages to changing Radio? Also - and this might be a stupid question, but please forgive me as I am really new to this stuff - Is the BeastMode Kernel automatically flashed with the ROM?
Thanks in advance!
I have had some of the problems you have listed above and it's all down to restoring via Tibackup (I learnt the hard way!)
I just checked mine and I can pull down the notification bar when locked, so it does work (I have a lock screen pattern enabled). Unfortunately when doing a batch restore it messes up the phone's ID in some way, so fb thinks your phone isn't a DHD and hence cannot handle push notifications. You may even find if youlog into google play on a pc that it says 'device not found' or 'incompatible device' when looking to install apps.
Right, this is what you need to do.
1. Do a full backup via Tibackup
2. Boot into recovery and execute factory reset
3, Install Sabsa Prime 7 (perform full wipe)
4. install TiBackup
5. Restore all app and data (NOT system data) - this can be a batch restore
6. Select backup/restore (middle tab) and from the list, restore contacts, messages, people, dialer storage (most of the ones highlighted in green).Remember data only.
Now you will have all your apps restored and your latest contacts and messages. You can also restore bluetooth pairings, wifi and even settings.
You will need to set your homescreens again but everything should now work.
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated
I really don't care much about whether I can pull down the notification bar when locked, or not. I just noticed I could do it until I changed the lock screen pattern.
Thanks a lot for your detailed advice on the other stuff! I'll definitely try it when I have a little more time to spare.
I still wonder about the arrow keys though, because they are only on the English keyboard (I'm pretty sure it was that way even before I restored apps and settings). And of course being able to zoom with the volume keys would be great.
This might be a noobie question, but is "2. Boot into recovery and execute factory reset" really necessary? What's the difference between this and a full wipe?
2. Probably isn't necessary, but it's a habit of mine before installing a rom as early versions of Sabsa Prime didn't have the option in installer, infact there was no installer!
As for the arrows, download SwiftKey keyboard, best keyboard I've seen, has many languages and arrow option.

bluetooth issue
hi i install the sabsa prime rom v7 but i have a issue whit the bluetooth, my bletooth device is a sonyericsson mw 600, i can connect and the music sound for the bluetooth but the audio of the calls don't sound for that , but the call controls in the bluetooth work's fine, if could tell me how i can fix that i wil be so grateful.
sorry my bad english
thank's to all
Ok, cool. Thanks bob!
Tried Swiftkey (and Go and some other wellknown keyboard) a while back. Like the keyboard, but the auto-correct for Norwegian was really poor. The standard keyboard has by far the best recognition of words that I have experienced.
EDIT:
Followed your instructions when flashing the new v8.5, and it has fixed the issues I experienced with fb =)
But the phone still reboots when I try to use soundhound from within the fm radio-app (but not with another radio, like the TuneIn Radio)...
Would love an answer regarding the Radio-version too (Never mind the question about the Kernel, figured that one out).
Shouldn't it be pretty easy to include the arrows for all languages, not only for the English keyboard? This is a function I really miss badly, makes things so much easier..
@Jaune: Sorry, I have no idea..
Still in v.9 the arrow keys only work for the English keyboard. Is there any way to implement this also for other languages?
And I see everyone is talking about a camera 4.2 - search xda. Well, I have searched and searched and can't seem to find it..
Found this though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867966.
Any thoughts on using this with Sabsa Prime v.9?

[Q] Android 4.3 Bluetooth Keyboard Issue on s3

Hi,
I can see such threads around XDA but not specifically for SIII (tried googling and searching the forum).
Did anyone else get this issue/ does anyone know a fix?
I use I9300 and tested 4.3 stock rom (unbranded) installed by the samsung tech support (XXUGNA5) with 3 bluetooth keyboards and all failed:
- K810 refurb
- Zagg keys flex
- Tracer BT slim
The symptom is that the keyboard connects/ pairs but the device does not sense any buttons.
The interesting thing here though is that after factory reset, the keyboards do work, but they stop after installing play store apps. I think it's in spefic due to 3-rd party soft-keyboards. Didn't manage to trace what they change that causes this failure, but I got the bug each time after running swype or touchpal. Switching back to stock keyboard does not fix it, if any of them was installed before.
You can find some info on the posts below. Neither solution worked for me though so I ended up flashing 4.1.1.2 Ultima rom (I tried stock-based 4.3 rom and got the same issue). For the nexus someone found that it's enough to remove keyboard layout files but it did not work for me.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58202 - original google issue thread (for one specific keyboard)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44272643&postcount=27 - the nexus 7 fix that does not work for sgs3 - I tried removing each single layout file (1by1) and it din't help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402288 - another one for nexus 7 (same conclusion)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383135 - nexus 10 thread
I missed 1 more thread which had a list of keyboards that ought to and not to work (and I guess some Android Police article on this issue) but in my case even K810 didn't so I guess it may be a different story for I9300.
