[Q]Htc desire HD Keyboard - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

has anyone got it working on the desire yet? i have been digging a little around, extracting the stock one, modding the Desire HD one, but nothing... it won't show in the "Inputmethod" dialog.
i have attached the HTC_IME.apk from the Desire hd, this is taken from Ownshere's port could you guys try and work your magic with it
EDIT: and i would just like to give a shout to the team that got the S-off working, so helpful in things like this

Settings > Keyboards then tick the box for it
But how did you even install it? Lol it has the same name as the stock one so cannot install it for me

i tried to delete the HTC_IME.apk, i tried to uninstall the original but that did not work and finally i tried to edit the xml files in the HD one, that did not work either :/
EDIT: Just tried editing it even more... now it can't install, it kicks my phone into a hot restart, then and adb just stops installing :/
Edit2: Creating a update.zip with the one directly extracted from the Desire HD rom, didn't work, nothing showing :/
Edit3: tried a update.zip with my own fail mod. I had to restore backsmali does not seem to decompile right...

I can install it ok using ROM manager, via clockworkmod
but it doesn't show in keyboard settings. I've used the keyboard on the Desire HD Rom, and the big improvement is the addition of cursor direction keys. Would nice to get this running on a more reliable Rom.

Have been unable to get the calibration tool to work with this.
Currently, I am using a theme generated version which works great, but I need to calibrate it to better for how I type.

I attempted to update the clicker.apk but it won't load.
Anyone run into this, have a fix.

If your rooted and nand unlock, use rootexplorer to move the clicker_hi.apk to /system/app/ make sure you set permissions and reboot your phone, the calibration tool should work.
Did something similar to that... I moved the clicker*.apk (there were two of them) files to and oldapp directory and then I was able to install the new one. No reboot was needed.
Now the keyboard is calibrated to my typing reach and is back to what it was like before the 2.2 update.

Sitting here for hours trying to figure out how to regain my old DINC 2.1 HTC_IME keyboard, without any success. Rooted, w/S-OFF, Froyo (2.2) under Virtuous 2.6. Edit_01: Then, not sure what I did that was different, but I was able to update my HTC_IME keyboard with a "new" version that I created at the gimpsta.com site. So, my DINC (Rooted, w/S-OFF, Froyo (2.2) under Virtuous 2.6) is working without issue.
Before I was successful in loading a new keyboard, and during my research using Root Explorer (RE), I saw that there were a couple of HTC_IME files in the system and cache directories, but RE said they were read only and would not allow me to move or delete them. Krelvinaz, what was your secret? I saw a clicker.apk and HTC_IME.apk files under the phone data and system folders, even though the apps had been uninstalled in Astro Manager and no longer show(ed) in the Language and Keyboard or in the Applications/Manage Applications settings section. There was only one program called HME IME Test listed in Manage Apps during my troubleshooting searches.
At one time, I did try to load a current version of the clicker.apk, but I got an error message. Is there a clicker calibration utility, for the keyboard and how do I load it.

While I did stumble into a successful keyboard installation, I have spent yet more time to figure out how to change permissions in Root Explorer(RE). Not wanting to complicate a working HTC_IME, I tested my RE ability and changed the startup boot mp3 sound in the system directory. So far, so good. However, I am reluctant to delete the clicker.apk, at this time, hoping I might get some knowledgeable feedback about my question on whether there is a calibration utility, for this keyboard. I cannot remember if I actually ran the clicker.apk, way back when I got the phone. I was unable to install it today, because it already exists in the system, and I would need to remove it first. Still hopeful someone might expand on the keyboard and the clicker.apk.

[Q] DSP Manager

Hi,
I've been using Cyanogenmod 6 for a couple of days and very much liked the DSM Manager app. I'm now trying out OpenDesire, but can't find a apk of DSP Manager anywhere.
Would someone have the last version of it, and kindly upload it somewhere ?
links to website and source repo (i have no way to build the app from source on my computer)
http://www.bel.fi/~alankila/android-dsp/
http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager
Many thx in advance
see attached.
for future reference it would have been easier to open the cyanogenmod.zip and looked for the required apk.
it doesnt work by itself, does it?
I installed the apk once, but I think it's mandatory some libs are updated/changed, isn't it?
I'm interested in this too.
Can it just be installed like any other app, or does it need something else?
I don't want to bugger up my phone!
Cheers.
This file installs ok and open but i don't notice differences in sound
This one worked for me on every OD version i have tried it on.
Its from the G2 forum here:

Hello, try this zip. Flash it via Recovery. It contains the DSPManager.apk and the needed libaudioflinger.so. This should work.
Odly this version completely ****ed up my phone. Couldn't get past the white htc boot screen...

I pulled the app from cm6 via estrong file explorer's root explorer mode, which pretty much simplifies adb code to cut and paste. Then pushed it into my latest rom Aosp v.3 in the system/data/app or system/app you're choice no problems on my cdma hero.

There are no problems because pushing just the apk doesn't do anything..
You also need libaudioflinger.so (the modified library).

[PORT]Desire HD Stock Keyboard?

Does anyone know what would need to be done to port this keyboard or make a flashable zip?
I pulled the HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk from the Desire HD port that is being worked on right now for the EVO. However, it wont simply install on my phone. I tried removing the Stock HTC_IME and Clicker via Root Explorer. Did a reboot and tried installing the Desire HD apks but it would just say 'Application not installed'.
I pulled the apks from v2 in this thread

Have you tried adb push? I'm not any kind of expert but that usually works when I am trying to install apps that won't install.
I'll give that a shot tonight. Thanks for the input.

[EDIT] Adb push didnt work either. Touch Input doesnt even show up in Language & Keyboard. I'm guessing something needs to be changed within the apks.
Well wish I could help then. Not good at doctoring apks.

Did you change the permissions to match that of the original keyboard. I recently got the 5MP camera working on my Android HD2 by simply changing the permissions using Root Explorer. Just long press the files and tick the appropriate permissions. Hope it works!

AdFree doesnt work anymore? 6.1a defrost rom

Hey Guys
Im trying to get rid of these annoying ads from pingchat or angry birds and even though the adfree is installed downloaded the hosts files etc and rebooted it still shows the ads, did Google blocked adfree in Froyo roms?
thanks
Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall adfree ? I had this issue before and that fixed the problem.
Must admit I'm having trouble with it at the moment too, been the last week or so maybe?
When I first rooted my phone (about 3 weeks ago) it was fine, but more recently it refuses to work. App itself is happy, just that it doesn't block ads.
Yeh well just reinstalled adfree and still nothing :/ hmm any ideas appreciated
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Try Redux RC6 ROM, it seems to have adblocking built in (and is also a generally fantastic ROM) - its working well for me right now.
Also try Gingervillain 0.9 - once you're running it, you can install an adblocking zip from the villain setup app which is built in to the ROM. GV 1.0 is now available, but general feedback seems to suggest that it is buggy compared to 0.9, so go for 0.9 - I used to use this and it was fine, plus adblocking worked!!
I've always found setup to successfully run it to be different with every other ROM I tried - even across versions of the same ROM (which is a PITA). Mainly because of the variance in ROM structures. Right now for instance, I'm debugging the same issue on RCMixHD v3.0 D2W and I still can't manage to get it working.

I've managed to get it working again by finding my "hosts" file and deleting it and letting adfree to regenerate it again. Somewhere in "etc" folder.
Hope this helps.

what directory?
and btw I am not willing to change my rom until gingerbread for nexus is released and ported
Its straight in system/etc.
I also just had this link suggested. Flash via recovery for hosts update, host listing updated weekly so just reflash if you start getting ads.
Just removed adfree and flashed this and can confirm it works.

HTC Transfer Data App

Hello,
I've got a HTC Desire. My old phone is a Windows Mobile device.
A friend of me has a Desire HD with the App Transfer Data from HTC.
So I thought the Desire would also have this app and I could transfer Data from my messages from my WM device to the desire.
Is there a apk for this app somewhere?
Thanks for helping me.
Pulled from my ROM. It should be working.
Thanks for Transfer Data App i m also searching for this app. Still i didn't use this app, i hope it work's.
dont work for my Samsung Galaxy Tab, Installation failed
I am looking for something similar for my Samsung Galaxy SL i9003. If anyone has any idea, please share.
My Samsung GS2 failed too
@Samsung users:
Maybe your installations failed because this app is from htc?!

You can't install it, you need to copy to system and fix permissions on it via ROOT explorer.

The old version here cannot receive the picture associated with the contact. I have attached the newer version that comes with HTC Sensation. I got it from the file "Stock Apps+ODEX.zip" at this thread: [APPS] T-Mobile Stock Apps & Stock Apps+ODEX Files
Also you may want to sign the application first. Then check the above replay by @maniacscorpio.

Running a Unrooted Galaxy S3 LTE. The app installs fine, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it says "Unfortunately, Transfer has stopped."
Do I need root access?
