http://www.talkandroid.com/22912-how-to-install-the-android-2-3-gingerbread-keyboard-on-your-rooted-device/
Hi Just found this can anyone Brave enought confirm it works for our Hero
I am too nooby to even try it without some nice Dev telling us that its ok to flash it
EDIT 07/12/10
courtsey of macaronymax.. I tried the bottom link and flashed the zip file on my gsm hero with ele's rom and it installed fine.
Find It a bit laggy and the auto correct doesn't seem to work that well..I suggest a nand backup just incase

EDIT 14/12/2010
Hi Guys Just a Note that Elelinux's Special Edition Rom with His Private THeme has the Gingerbread Keyboard Preinstalled which is nice of Him..
And you can Even alternate between the Gingerbread Keyboard and Htc Keyboard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767886

Tried it, but it says error while flashing :/

are you running a 2.2 rom or 2.1 cause it says it will only run on a 2.2 rom.
I do hope one of the devs can sort it out for us or include it in their roms
elelinus.. erasmux .. anyone?

Does not work on HTC Hero and HTC Wildfire.

yea I've discovered that this version (in post I quoted) works great! for anyone who says no dictionary is included with it, that's not true. in catch notes, gtalk, and certain other apps I see a dictionary/prediction row that works great.
cheers,
Don

Thanks marconymax! Works great, using it as i type!
So confirmed for latest Elelinux special Edition 2.2.1 .

Shipped Rom
so im guessing this is the official official? not the one that was already released?
I think it's the one that was already released, and in my opinion it's not the complete ROM, the USB tethering isn't active and there's no facebook app/widget.
I have a rom with test key before this. I tried renaming to update but I got an error when updating.
Oh also there is no facebook app or widget. it just download contact photo's and photo albums and you can update facebook or twitter status from your own contacts.
hello tom
looks like im moving from the diamond threads to this one
just waiting for orange UK to release the phone
install
if anyone has tried this rom and sucessfully installed it on the dream. please explain the process you took and how its performing. im deciding if i should make the leap from dude's rom which i like a lot... thanx in advance

I can't say for certain that these will work with the stock ROM, but they are your best bet.
UnityV4
Virtuous Sense a7
Have you conisidered try a custom ROM? if you want to keep it as stock as possible I recommended Virtuous Sense 2.0
Try unity v4 kernel, its for all sense based runs. Let's you OC up to 1.7 ghz. Link is in my signature.

I don't actually want to try a custom ROM right now, as i really like the stock one as it is. I may well try that one though when im bored of it! Is that sense 2.1 or just 2.0?

It is sense 2.1, it is based off the official 2.3.3 DZ update, think of it as what you have all ready but with optimizations.
Oh and welcome to the DZ forums.

That is correct, download rom manager, flash CWM, boot in to CWM and flash .zip
Easy, but if you need anymore help, hop over to the Virtuous Rom IRC and I will be happy to talk you through it

There is a way but I'm very well versed in how to do it. If you read the DZ/G2 wiki it links you to a guide on to root 2.3.3.
if you need further help head to the 'G2ROOT IRC channel
I updated to the 2.3.3 OTA too, and I followed this guide here :

[Q] rooting hox without unlocking bootloader

hey~
i searched alot but i dident find any way to root my tegra 3 hox without unlocking the bootloader (and losing the warranty) so can you tell me once and for all if its possible and if someone developed a way to do it?
i really want to root my hox to use some new apps which requires root but i dont want to change my ROM and lose my warranty XD
hope you can help me, tnx in advance

if rooting without unlocking is impossible, so is it possible to relock bootloader without it will show "relocked" ? or its impossible as well? :\
Impossible also. Unless somebody hacks our devices to S-OFF

ViperX is definitely a great choice if you want Sense.
For AOSP side, I can recommend CM10.1 and IceColdJelly.

i do like sense, and i saw the review about viperx and i really liked it.
only two questions, right now im using the app "anysoftkeyboard" because i couldnt use sense keyboard with my language (hebrew), i remember people told me that if i would use a rom i will be able to use sense keyboard with my language, is it true?
and is this the latest topic of the rom? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745176
i just saw it in "original android developments" forum and im still new here so idk the difference between the 2 developments forums XD
tnx in advance
edit:
forgot to ask, the language "Hebrew" will work with viperx rom? cuz im using right now the app "more locale 2" to change the system to hebrew.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443
This is the latest one.
I can see עברית in language settings. It is Hebrew, right?
For the keyboard it is unfortunately not available.
Everything in 'Original Android Development' is built from source, AOSP ROMs. It also contains 'extraordinary' development like ViperX
Under 'Android Development' you can find most Sense ROMs

wow thank you for all the help, עברית its hebrew as you said.
is there any widget/app/anything that can get me a sense keyboard with hebrew?
No. HTC have not integrated Hebrew language in any of their recent Sense keyboards, Arabic neither.
You can install Stock Android keyboard if you want, it comes with hebrew out of the box.

Install like normal APK.

now im in a huge pinch, i tried installing viperx rom and it all finished up fine without errors at all.
when it got rebooted it showed me the lock screen (as it should) but when i try to unlock it restarts!!! :crying:
edit:
nevermind, fixed it, the guide i used never said anything about deleting cache after flashing boot img =.=
Did you do full wipe before installing?
Tap wipe data/factory reset in cwm.
Then install the rom again.
