Rosie remapping question

I have been running Uncommon Sense 1.1 for quite a while on my Incredible, and my absolute favorite aspect is the center Rose button being linked to a modified version of App Folders instead of the normal app drawer. Folder organization is pretty important for me due to a large quantity of apps.
Anyhow, I am now finding myself interested in changing ROMs (I used to test drive multiple ROMs a week, it's weird staying tied down). The problem is, I want the folder organization I've gotten used to mapped to Rosie.
The question is, how can I modify a ROM to achieve this? I have never modified a ROM before, and this sounds like a tough one to start with. My first inclination is to simply take the Rosie.apk from Uncommon Sense and plop it into a different ROM. But given than App Folders was modified in Uncommon Sense, would this work? And how would I do it? Or would I have better luck remapping Rosie to add the unmodified App Folders?

MynWArm is a great ROM.. I prefer stock, I deodexed the most up to date Nov. OTA update completely rooted and busyboxed and deodexed. Which means you can run the stock ROM and add Modifications that you enjoyed such as the rosie modification. in mynswarm rom he has an app called rosie settings which you can choose the left and right buttons makes it sooo easy. lemme hook u up wit some links. I am uploading these things for you so I hope you use it.
step one, make sure your rooted S-OFF
download this stock ROM I deodexed, it's completely stock doesnt have any name or anything like that.
here is the ROM http://androidforums.com/incredible...dexed-added-root-nov-update-any-interest.html
or direct download link - http://www.multiupload.com/2KS0OS60DR
then you need to Flash this file from recovery once the ROM is up and running.
I'm uploading just for you so, I hope you use this.
flash from recovery, http://www.multiupload.com/5FLXLMGJHO
this will take a good ten minutes so boot, so don't panic and pull the battery it'll work.
once you have this flashed and phone is on and running you'll see something famililar to myns warm, rosie wise, you wont be able to use any of the buttons except the middle for all apps, this is were you take this .apk -
this part is really important download this .apk
http://www.multiupload.com/W4IX7D2423
and install your favorite way, I used astro to do it. but once this is instaleld open the app and you can change the left and right buttons to whatever..
all credit goes to the creators or mynwarm I just prefer to do the themeing myself, this is just an amazing mod that lets you change the rosie shortcuts in an easy to use app.

Awesome, man. That will probably do pretty much everything I need. Or probably pretty damn close to it. I'll try it out tonight and let you know how it goes.

Evo keypad on incredible?

Does any one know of a way to get the Evo style keyboard on my htc incredible? I mainly want it for the cursor buttons. I hate having to try and tap the right spot to get the cursor where i need it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got it on Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS4. I'd highly recommend it. I think they have an apk posted on the thread to just get the keyboard if you don't want to switch ROMs. Not sure if it'll work with other ROMs, so nandroid first just incase.

Thanks for the info Blah12543 you were a great help.
I downloaded and installed the {gingerbread keyboard }and nothing seemed to happen so then I downloaded the {Official EVO HTC_IME (Unthemed) (With arrows)} and installed that and got the keyboard to appear. However the arrow buttons do not function (*when horizontal) untill you switch to the numbers and symbols screen (12#). Once you do that they work like a charm even when switched back to the letters (ABC). When using a app eg. internet or messaging, you have to switch to the numbers screen one time and then it works fine untill you close the app.Even if you minimize the keyboard it still works the next time you bring it up as long as you havent exited the app in question. All other keys work fine like they always did.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I guess it's not that big of a deal it's still better than what I had, but i'm just the type of person who likes things to work perfectly.
EDIT: *I just noticed if phone is vertical works fine just as it is ment to. The above only happens when the phone is horizontal.

SOLVED: Ok I figured out that it has to do with the sugestions. When phone is horizontal it pops up with the green sugestions eg. type (goo) and it sugests below (google.com). The navigation buttons instead of moving the currsor forward and back instead move back and forth between the sugestions. The reason the buttons work when you hit the number screen (12#) is that doing so makes the sugestions temporarley dissappear. When the phone is vertical the sugestions are in a different type of drop down menu that does not affect the navigation buttons. By the way I have sugestions, spell correct, etc. turned off but it still suggests words contacts and web addresses, but thats another problem all together.
So I called up a friend with a Sprint EVO 4g and asked him if his stock phones keyboard worked in this way. Much to my surpprise it does. I find this to be a fault of the original EVO rom. I think HTC coulld have came up with an easy solution such as being able to press the up arrow to switch to the line of text so you can scroll forward or backward, or have it situated on the text and if you want to scroll sugestions hit the down arrow then left or right.
Anyways thanks to Blah12543 for the info on where to get the files, it is much appreciated.

So if you want the EVO style keboard with the navigation arrows on your incredible running Virtuous Rom v3.2 (May work on other roms or phones but not tested.) here are the steps.
1. Download the (GingerBread 2.3 Default Keyboard) and the (Official EVO HTC_IME (Unthemed) (With arrows)), found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471. You can download these files on your pc and push them to your sdcard with adb (search for instructions on how to push files with adb), copy them to your sdcard with a usb dongle, or do it the easy way and download them strait from your phone.
2. Once you have both files on your sdcard reboot in to recovery and flash (Ginger bread 2.3 default keyboard). Once it is finished reboot.
3. Now once agin reboot into recovery and flash Official HTC-IME (unthemed)(with arrows). Once it has finished reboot and that is it. You should now have the EVO style keyboard with the navigation buttons.

Sorry I haven't checked back in a while, but you're very much welcome!

[Q] Best keyboard for Droid Incredible?

Apparently I am too much of a fast typer that the virtual keyboard can't keep up with me. I want opinions, what is the best keyboard available for the Droid Incredible?
I have tried
-Android Keyboard [Obviously no Good]
-Better Keyboard [No Good]
-Keyboard from Android 2.3 [Dont understand difference from original]
-Smart keyboard [Ehh]
-Swiftkey [So far I purchased since is the best one I have had, but not good enough]
Opinions?

If you're looking for speed, learn to use Swype. Takes a bit to get accustomed to, and allow it time to learn your habits. It has settings to adjust to your preferred input speed.
Swiftkey just released Swiftkey X which has a rapid typist option/profile.

I keep coming back to SwiftKey. I loved Swiftkey X Beta, so I use the Swiftkey X now. I've used Swype (can't get it working on MIUI tho), Thumb Keyboard (I use this on my Xoom and love it!), and just never liked the stock Android keyboard.
There's something about hitting one or two letters of a word, then just typing the sentence by hitting the next word until you're done. It may be learning my patterns, in hopes that some day it will rise up and conquer me. Time will tell.

I second Swiftkey X, there is a full version / update if you bought the original swiftkey out now. Its fast, intuitive and very well organized.
Otherwise Id try thumb keyboard or swype. Thumb keyboard is very good on tablets.

Agree try swype...

Been using swiftkey X, honestly the best one out IMO. Unless you like swype (I never did) than that's the one to go.

I've tried
-Android Keyboard
-Better Keyboard
-Keyboard from Android 2.3
-Smart keyboard
-Swiftkey
-swype
The ones I stick with are:
-FlexT9IME_TMO<--is what I use as dd
or as a backup
-slide-it

+1 for swiftkey X (beta)

Thanks for the fast reply guys... And yeah i like Swift but the thing is i shorthand a lot when typing so i really dont like the predictions. But i guess Swift it is

Every time you enter in a word you help to create more predictions. Whatever shorthand or abbreviation you use it'll learn quickly

Another vote for Swift X. Best keyboard out there in my opinion.

It took me a while to get MIUI configured to use Swype but it was well worth it. Using Mytextspeed from the market, I tested different keyboards, and swype was by far the fastest, with Swiftkey in 2nd place. If you want swype on miui, just follow these instructions:
1. Download and install root explorer. You'll have to pay but it's a useful app and worth it. (OR you could download a free alternative, ES File Explorer)
1. Download swype installer and install swype (full language version only!!!!)
2. After installation, there will be a screen with 4 options:
a. watch video
b. start tutorial
c. generate license
d. finisho
4. Press the home button to exit swype installer and open root installer
5. Go to /data/app in Root Explorer (In ES File Explorer, you first have to enable read-write permissions in the menu, then navigate to data/app)
6. Click on "com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk" and long hold to bring up the options menu
7. Click move, scroll to /sdcard/download and click "paste"
8. Press the home button to exit root explorer
9. Open swype installer. You should get a force close error. If you do not and instead see the screen with "disable swype", click the back button which will bring you back to the home screen then click swype installer again. Do not continue until swype installer force closes. Alternatively, if you have the "force close with longpress of back button" option installed in the MIUI system settings, you could just hold down the back key until it force closes.
10a. Go back to root explorer (or ES File Explorer) and move "com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk" back to /data/app
10b. If you have Root Explorer, ignore this step: Press menu and set it to read only
11. Go back to the home screen and open swype installer
12. Click "select swype" and then select swype
13. Click "finish"
14. Enjoy!
In my opinion, swype is the best, fastest keyboard out there. You only need one finger or thumb to use it, which means you can type just as fast with one hand, and it's very intuitive. Although it does take a little getting used to, once you get the hang of it, you'll never go back to tapping.
I did play around with Swiftkey X a little, and after repeadedly typing in "the quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog", it was soon able to predict "quick" right after typing "the".

I'd say SwiftKey X if you're using a ROM that doesn't have the HTC_IME one. I like the HTC keyboard a lot, and after getting spoiled by it, I hate the Gingerbread kb. I popped the $1.99 for SwiftKey X when it was on sale last week so I could have a far more capable kb than the stock Gingerbread one on roms like CM7.

swiftkey and swype are my two favorites. then 2.3 keyboard

If only the 2.3 keyboard could swipe as a secondary option, then it'd be best in a second

i always come back to swype.
there was a really funky keyboard i tried for a while, it was called 8pen. take a look at it.. maybe you will be able to adapt better to it than me.

New Swype Beta

Don't know if anyone mentioned before, least haven't seen one. A new Beta for Swype is out. Found it while reading in GSMArena blog. Using it. Not bad. Swype lovers should try it.

Swyping from my i9100 via Tt

Fairly early days in terms of my usage of it, but definite signs of improvement on what was already an indispensable tool. Seems quicker and slicker somehow. Haven't really been able to test out the word prediction facility yet.

They say it has a fresh new look, but it looks the same to me.

Perhaps true in the sense that it is still a keyboard but the size, colour and styling are both different - not radically, but somewhat.
As a matter of interest, you did enable Swype Beta, didn't you? For whatever reason the beta and the original both show as installed. You won't see the new look unless you enable the beta.

Can someone report the actual version number of this please, as I'm not sure if this is the version I already have installed
I have: 3.26.92.38965.38973.10637.I9100

Just installed it, it feels... bigger, the new Swype. I'd rather it be slightly smaller.
Also I noticed some new effects when you let go (it like shrinks and fades out) after swyping and it also seems to run a bit faster.

My version is 1.0.3.5809
Interestingly though the package name is nuance and not swype.
From the manifest.xml:
HTML:
<manifest android:versionCode="5809" android:versionName="1.0.3.5809" package="com.nuance.swype.input"
This must be their first release since acquiring swype.

Word removing is changed and I don't like it.
On non beta, if you hold the backspace button then word by word would get deleted, but now it's letter by letter. Damn!

AGREED! This is my only complaint thus far. Why did they mess with it, or at least not make it an option???

How can you enable handwriting? I choose it from options but I couldn't find to run it.

All in all this is an awful release in my opinion.
Ability to delete words in the original dictionary is a HUGE improvement, and I also love the option to have popups.
But then I noticed that words you just typed get erased immediately if you press backspace, but I just though well, I guess I can get used to that even though it's kind of a stupid change to make.
Then I noticed that backspace now erased letter by letter instead of words by word.
THEN I noticed that words get auto-added, meaning that every time you type out a captcha or feel like randomly saying something like "wazzaaaaaaa" to a friend, you'll involuntarily be getting those words added to your dictionary!
AND THEN I noticed that you can't add the "" and the "" smileys to your dictionary. A feature which I usually use at least once per sms!
I don't see why they feel like they have to decide for us whether we want to erase word by word or letter by letter, or whether we want words to auto-add or not!?
Also, I've been swyping this entire post, and making a capital i is near impossible, and a capital A IS impossible. Also the marker seems to have a life of it's own most of the time. Horrible release.

Back to the last Swype beta for me, good that I had a backup...
I just hope they bring a new beta with the old features soon before this one expires.
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2

Wish I had a backup. It's more accurate by far but messaging is annoying, the letter marker seems to jump and it creates duplicate when everything a new line on everything. Also, i hate the send key being replaced by smilies.

Swype Full
Hi all,
I recently moved from Stock-rom (in which I had a full version of swype - 3.26 I think). Is there a way that I can extract my Swype from the Stock-rom and move it to the custom rom? (I have Nandroid for the stock).
I've tried to backup with TB in the stock, and restore in the custom but it didn't work. I also tried to copy the data\app files & data\dalvik-cache & data\data\com.android.swype.inputmethod & of course - the apk.
It all didn't work.
Any advices?
Thanks.

You have to copy the lib file as well as the app from the /system/app and system/lib to the respective folders I think

I've tried to do that.
At system\lib, originally, I had nothing that relates to Skype.
However, at Data\Data\com.swype.android.inputmethod\, I had several folders. One of them was ..\Lib, and the lib file was there.
No other place it was originally placed.
Any advices?
and another question, if I may...
where are the language packs files stored?

I love the new app but DAMN ITS A MEMORY HOG!

New Swype plus mandatory SwypeConnect app uses 38.2MB :silly:

[Q] Small tweak if possible? - KB shortcut button remap?

I try not to ask for help, but unfortunately this one has me a bit stumped..
I started this journey a couple weeks ago by picking up a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2. Needless to say I <3 it.. Shortly thereafter I received an AT&T upgrade and figured my T-Mobile days were becoming limited (REALLY poor service where I live), So I got an AT&T version.
Although I've rooted both and such within hours of them being charged - I've found one (what I want to call BIG) difference, and I hate it.
It's the keyboard when I'm texting. On the Tmobile version the space button is a little smaller, has a comma on the left side, period on the right side and the 'mode' button (handwriting/speech/keyboard/settings) ..
On the AT&T version the space is a little wider, to the right is the . to the left is a single button that expands out to have ,?!' talk, handwriting, settings.. All of these are into this one little button.
With Tmobile the 'magic button' (since I dont know what it's called) - it defaults to the speech/speak now prompt. AT&T's button defaults to handwriting..
I ACTUALLY use the voice version, however I can count the number of times I've used handwriting / spent on 1 hand. Therefore the only thing I really would pray for is to be able to get the Tmobile note 2 Keyboard layout on the ATT note 2
Background: Both phones are setup exactly the same, with the exact same settings etc.. Just stock roms etc, rooted w/ CWM..
See Screenshots

Wow that is strange. Do you use the number keys at the top? If not you could try out the 4.2 stock keyboard. You could also try copying the "SamsungIME.apk" from "system/apps" from the T-Mobile N2 and onto the AT&T N2.

Well I went ahead and copied both the apk and the opek?
Anywho what that did was it made the 'smart' button turn into the comma.. Better than before (since I dont use the handwriting in texts etc).
The space button is still large as in the difference between the ATT/TM versions.
Also - yes I do use the numbers, since i have many alpha-num passwords it's quite handy not having top flipflop between the regular keyboard and 'sym' to be able to get to the numbers.
Hrmm any other magic files to copy? =)
I'd really just love to have the keyboard from the TM version instead of the ATT version.. Sounds easy but I have no clue where it would be hiding..

I'm going to try it without the odex this go around, will post the results.. Im thinking that may have something to do with it still being different..
I dont know a whole lot about the guts of android programming so I'm going to wing it till I get it where I like it..
If I didn't have to worry about the bloat and other stuff from TM, i'd almost flash the TM version onto it, then flash the ATT modem? /shrug,, however I do really did the I7105 international firmware,, it's fairly nice but i've had a few bugs with it.

I did however install the TM image which isn't too bad, put the ATT rom on it, and i'm ALMOST where I want it to be..

Does anyone know what other files control the keyboard layout / keys etc on these?

Seeing as you have both phones, you're in an ideal position to compare the config files and see what parameters are different.
The general concept:

I am guessing - GUESSING - that the solution lies in what is different between the two phones in here:
/system/usr/keylayout
(The layout files are all text files.)
Good luck!

I finally got the chance to disect the directory you mention.. Unfortunately the files are exactly the same from what I can tell by looking at each file side by side.
Also copying the whole directory over changed nothing - which further supports said theory in case I overlooked something.

I chose to go with a custom ROM for my N2 (AT&T) and I grieved the loss of my Sammy Keyboard. Once you move to custom, the keyboard is standard or aosp android. i never liked the Android keyboard layout, even though it;s functionality ran circles around Sammy.
To cut to the chase, their are some reasonably priced key boards in the Play Store that run circles around both Sammy and Android. I use Swift, which seems to be the current leader in sales and ratings. Swipe is another one that I hear a lot of people like and it is a third of the price of Swift. I think Swift is worth what you pay for it, even though I still like the layout of the Sammy better.
