HTC Keyboard with voice input

Hi,
Has anyone really tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
At first, one of the user here said it won't install because HTC IME keyboard is in the ROM.
But that's (might) not true as the user below said:

No it works fine. I'm using it on an unrooted 32B Magic, installed just like any other app.

But first, you must install/setup the voice data via "text-to-voice" setting.
If this works, it would be awesome!
UPDATE: I found HTC Magic does not use HTC Sense UI by default So, it might not work then ... or I really don't understand all this !

It works on the phones that don't have HTC_IME in the ROM.
I used it on my G1 and it was fine, but you can't install it on Desire until it's rooted and we can get rid of default HTC_IME.

[Q] increase max number of windows in browser on rooted phone?

My Desire limits max number of browser windows to 4, and does so on every ROM I've tried. I'm rooted - is there any hack I can apply to increase this? I know Dolphin HD and other browsers don't have this problem but I kind of like the HTC browser apart from this issue.
Anyone found a fix?

it's hardcoded in the browser (com.android.browser.TabControl.canCreateNewTab())
shouldn't be a big deal to increase it
which rom are you currently using?

Moved to Q&A.
On hero, it was limited to 4 tabs in sense, but on CM6 base, I have roughly 8 open in the background all the time. I reckon you could hack the above value, not sure how well the sense browser would perform...

how would you edit this? hex editor?

Can I bump this? Wanna know this as well. Is it only for rooted device?

Yes it would be for a root device only.

S'ok, no-one seems to have worked out how to do it on rooted devices either...!

8 tabs like on AOSP ROMs would be excellent. 4 tabs limit is with Sense ROMs and it is too few for my usage too.

Please find here the result of my homework given by The GREAT MASTER snq- !!!
Base on the Browser.apk you have in AuraxTSense 7.6.1, this one will allow you to go up to 15 tabs !
(It's now hard coded at 32, but after 15 I got an Out of memory... should be enough anyway)
For that first time, it is zip-aligned, but not signed.
So I will assume that you know what do with (push with adb, in recovery if you don't have S-OFF).
As soon as I learn to make a flashable zip, I will update it.
Enjoy !!
Or just feel free to insult me if it doesn't work flawlessly for you...
Edit: backup your bookmarks, just in case...
Edit2 : finally no prob with bookmarks
EDIT 3 : updated .apk (back to original png for back and forward)

... Testing.
That works perfect on HTC 2.2 with root! Over 12 tabs now opening fine in the browser. I just removed the odex file and everything worked. It requires 300-400KB ish more than the stock browser. Thank you guys

The stock Browser.apk was 788KB and the one you attached that I installed was 1095KB. I don't mind
The browser would just crash at the start until I removed Browser.odex. Ever since, it works perfectly.

to /data/app ?
wasn't the original in /system/app ?
this what i use to install :
- mounting /system/app r/w with Root Explorer, and checking Browser.apk is there
- then following with adb :
Code:
adb push ATS_Browser_zipaligned.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
adb reboot
...
working fine on mine

ATS_Browser_zipaligned.apk 1 121 159
mine is even lighter

Can someone post a step by step dummys guide on how to install this, I have soff etc but don't know anything about adb any help would be much appreciated

[Q] Installing HTC_IME.apk

Hi all,
I am thinking to flash Leedroid ROM on my DHD hoping to get rid with the proximity sensor problem (mine is still 1.32.707.5).
However, I think this ROM does not include "Handwriting recognition" input method which is available in my stock ROM though it includes other 4 Chinese inputs. I find this input quite useful and I wish to keep it.
So, I have this idea but don't know whether it can be done. All guru here kindly advise.
Say, I cut and paste HTC_IME.apk and HTC_IME.odex using Root Explorer from this directory: /system/app/
(Note: After cut and paste into other folder, the "Touch Input" method disappeared from the input selection.)
Then I flash my phone with Leedroid rom.
I then reinstall it using HTC_IME.apk or copy these HTC_IME.apk and HTC_IME.odex back into /system/app/
My question is, whether the above method is the correct way to keep/transfer my stock "Touch Input" into new flashed rom?
Does Leedroid ROM actually get rid of proximity sensor problem?
Expert opinion from you all are much appreciated.
Thank in advance.
Regards!

Anyone please?

Having the same problem as well.

I ude lees rom and have no issues. Search the forum for modified htc_ime. Zip and flash in your rom after first boot from recovery.

i'll hep you. Try install only HTC_IME.apk like other normall apps by any file manager. Now go to language input and look it is available HTC IME.

@mariosraptor do you mean the htc_ime_jonasl_hires22_27.zip file from this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416 and flash it with recovery??
@seba84_2005 can't be done, tired. Can install HTC_IME.apk on top of the Lee rom

I guarantee you that you can as I have done it over ten times. Just install it normally, language settings, select the htc_ime mod.

Yes jonasl htc_ime.zip
Download the flashable zip to flash it from recovery.
You can find it in plain Desire in Oxygen thread by AdamG.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I can install HTC_ime mod too. But what winwintoto1234 and I needed is to replace the HTC_ime that is in the Lee rom which doesn't has the Chinese handwriting option with the one from the stock rom which has it. HTC_ime mod is worst, it has no chinese input option at all (not to mention handwriting) + no arrow key.

Thanks for the replies.
In fact I tried to install as normal but it doesn't work. It couldn't even be installed.
I then copied both the files back into their original location but the input just refused to work. So I have to do a restoration using nandroid.
I however noticed that if we touch and hold the apk file in Root Explorer, it pops up some options, one of them is "Extract All". I think by doing this, the possibility for it to work again may be higher.
I did not try it again as I just don't want to do restoration again after installing quite a number of useful applications.
Expert's advice is most welcome.
Regards!

As has been stated before we are looking for the Chinese input which seems to be missing from the apps that we can find. I too am looking for the fabled Chinese Input from HTC so that I can use it on my Desire Z which I purchased in Taiwan but have flashed over to CyanogenMod (couldn't stand sense myself).

Fyi to the op, you cant use a odexed .apk ( .apk & .odex) on a deodexed rom anywyay. it will only end up with a dexopt crash

I've found that this thread has one that sort of works on my Desire Z. There is an issue where it fc's if you try to change the input method style (e.g. handwriting, zhu yin etc ) in settings, but you can change it from the keyboard. The physical keyboard on the other hand has a lot of issues, the zhu yin does not match up with what is on my board, it seems a little random as to where the zhu yin is. I hope this helps.

[Keyboard mod] HTC_IME.apk without arrows - Now with landscape

Hi this is my mod for Sense 4 htc stock keyboard to remove the arrows, on portrait and landscape modes, but only for english language for the landscape mode
enjoy
push via adb
D:\ADB>adb remount
remount succeeded
D:\ADB>adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
1126 KB/s (4178147 bytes in 3.623s)
D:\ADB>adb reboot
definitly works on Insert Coin 5 , but should work on any rom 1.28 , 1.29

Great job! Nobody uses those arrows anyway!
Although for some reason my entire keyboard is gone after pushing. Might as well be a writing mistake so I'm double checking everything now (It isn't in the settings list either.)
repushed and tried to copy-paste with es explorer, but still no keyboard appearing. (Yes, I did reboot)
Pushed the original HTC_IME.apk (taken from ARHD) and everything is working again.
Which ROM are you using? I'm on ARHD 3.0.0

Im using Insert Coin 3.2.0 , 1.28.401.9 base, I ll just check I uploaded the right one, ARHD is on 1.28.401.9 as well so i dont see why it shouldnt work.
EDIT: it is the right .apk , try this , push the file, reboot , go straight to text messaging , compose, Tap on the text edit box, google TTS appears , Tap text edit box again google TTS disappears, and then Tap text edit box again, keyboard should appear,

Updated first , finally got Landscape mode finished

Good Work, but it didn't work for me on stock (rooted) Rom. The Sense Keyboard is gone, it doesn't even show up in the Settings...

i also like the HTC keyboard, but i do not have any problem with arrows.
i would like to ask if someon knows for a mod to adjust long press duration and the duration of pop up letters.

Nice work

Make a flashable zip and multi-language and you will probably get more users
Thx

I not to sure how to mod a odexed apk, ill look in to it, but if you are rooted, you could try removing HTC_IME.apk and HTC_IME.odex , (back them up first) with root explorer , and either pushing, or use root explorer to copy / paste

Great job!

Omg please somehow make this work for the lte one XL , I would love you if you did. Because I love HTC ime but those damn arrows just take.up too much space!!

[Q] MIUI Extended Settings?

Anyone know where to download "miui extended setting" for Desire Hd? I use MIUI 2.4.13 Official.

I think I have a version that works with MIUI 2.4.13 somewhere on my disk. I'll look for it when I get home.

The first link is for the files needed for the extended settings to work.
The second link is for the extended settings app.
Flash the file from the first link and then install the apk from the second link.
If you can, install it as a system app (copy the apk into system/app and give it the necessary permissions).
Make a backup before flashing this because I don't remember exactly if it works or not.

Thanks_ but it'not work for me.
I flashed zip file via recovery then my status bar gone (not responding), and then I manually move Miuisetting.apk to /system/app and change permission to rw-r--r-- restart, but its same statusbar not responding, and miuisetting is not work.
sorry for my bad english.

That was the only file I could find on my disk regarding miui extended settings. I'm pretty sure I used that file on SCI Miui ROM from auser (2.4.13) and it worked ok.
Maybe someone else has a working version of miui extended settings and can share it with you.
