This is because you need two files, the main HTC IME file that you must have installed, and the Clicker.apk file. The Clicker file adds the entry to the Locale and Text option in Settings, so you can choose the HTC keyboard. Attached a full package for you below, just unzip and install both as normal APK's.
Ah, thanks!
i installed click.apk and then used de update zip of evo keyboard and when a choose the keyboard i always get an error and force to clode
Because you can't use the EVO Keyboard that means, the keyboard i attached has been compiled by XDA'ers and it's compatible with most Froyo phones, the stock Keyboard won't work on ours as we have a Sammy phone.
damn it! i already tryed the xda version but miss the arrow keys. is there another keyboard like htc with arrows?
Try smartkeyboard download from market
You can set gesture for the arrow functions.. It works for me

If you are using Co0kie's Home Tab, from the home screen, tap Menu > CHT Editor > Quicklink settings. In there, you can change the grid layout to show more links per page as well as increasing the number of pages up to five.
I'm using the ROM update from htc.

Update to .NET Compact Framework 3.5.
Make sure to install to device and not storage card. You'll then need to restart, if it doesn't ask you to do so, and force it to use 3.5 over 2.0. Use a registry editor and navigate to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Then change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.
For a decent registry editor that can be used from the PC side, check out CERegEditor if you don't already have an editor of choice.
plz help. i want to install swype apk with my local language support. i unistalled default apk with titanium backup and i tried to install swype apk from forums. while is installed app is terminated immediately with force close error. i tried to install it on system/apps but no change. plz help i need swype!!
You could try to visit beta.swype.com, register and then download the beta. It says it won´t work if your phone came preinstalled with swype but I guess you could give it a try.

that worked but it doesn't support greek language
Thank you anyway!
Hello, i have installed this keyboard but i think that it drains too much battery. 30 minutes and the battery dropped 10%. Is this normal?
Try building swype words from scratch. Typing and pressing space to add new words. Maybe hard at first though

Please, check Defy development forum, there is a install zip for swipe that has greek language support, you can try that installer and see if that works for you. The thread name is "Update 2011-05-20: Swype for CM7 and MIU".
As I'm a newbie here, I'm not aloud to post this in the dev section.
So I'll explain how you can simply change you're physical keyboard layout on Gingerbread and ICS easily without flashing an appropriate kernel for the Xperia Pro mk16i iyokan.
-So first you need root access.
-second, you need to install a root explorer like ES file explorer.
activate the root access to /system in the option of ES file explorer.
-ones you're here, you need to identify all the layout you're rom got. they are listed as xml files in the directory:
/system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts
my rom contains almost all keyset imaginable.
-Now you've find the name of your keyset find the file :
/system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml
-edit it with the file explorer integrated file editor.
-you'll find a file formatted with a fanzy SE header and that:
HTML:
<Keyprint>
<Script name="arabic" keylayout="arabic"/>
<Script name="cyrillic" keylayout="cyrillic"/>
<Script name="greek" keylayout="greek"/>
<Script name="hebrew" keylayout="hebrew"/>
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty"/>
<Script name="thai" keylayout="thai"/>
</Keyprint>
-Choose the alphabet you use and put the name of your layout without the xml file extension.
if you're europeen or american, I guest latin will be you're choice.
For arabic, greek, croatian russian... and every other languages using an another alphabet I let you choose
So for example if I want to change my latin layout from Qwerty to Qwertz
I replace the line
HTML:
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty"/>
by
HTML:
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwertz"/>
-so save the file and reboot you're phone, you should now get the right keyboard set for you're phone.
Or you can edit it with adb by pulling the file and pushing it after (but it's a bit more tricky
Have a good night and if anybody can move my thread in the good section I'll be very pleased
ps:
All credits and inspiration came from the original post of ameer1234567890 which provide a lot of flashable layout.
I think this works only on stock and stock based ROMs. Can someone please confirm if this works on a ROM like CM7 or CM9.
I'd like to know too, because i used to use cm7 on htc dz but as cm7 or 9 are still in dev for mk16i I never tried them on mine for now
Hey.can u be more specific? How to do this?
I got the file..and now what should i do?
Thnx

I had an example in the tuto, if you still don't understand, I'll try to explain it again ;-)
Good luck
This does not work in 3rd party apps (smart keyboard pro and swiftkey), also on some cases chrome will misbehave as well. I think chrome is bypassing the xperia keyboard when it's trying to be super-secure such as entering passwords.
Chrome won't show you virtual keyboard at all in such cases so I think it can be safely filed under BUG but that won't help if you can't sign in. Using opera mobile as a workaround works..
I'm pretty sure the stock gingerbread finnish firmware played nice with smart keyboard pro. There's a link in the "root" Xperia pro thread where you can download "hotfix" for Xperia pro. These claim to be keyboard layouts for various languages. These are NOT the text files you describe here but the actual android keymap files.
They did not work for me, though, boo. I'll have to try again. The files in keychars-folder (MAKE BACKUPS!!) are .kcm.bin while the originals are called .kcm. I would assume both are not used at the same time. In keylayouts (backup bro) the replacement files are .kl, same as original but smaller.
3rd party keyboard has never been my point.
Stock android is handling physical keyboard a certain way, and virtual keyboard such as slide it or swiftkey do as they want with that kind of thing.
Switft never works correctly for me with stock rom or with custom rom.
Sorry if it doesn't work.
but if every software interprete keyboard there own way, we're damn lost. I never use Chrome but I guest it can also interprets keyboard layout its own way.
the flash fix you talk about is interesting, I'll try it asap. thks
Those keyboard layout/keychars files just make the HW keyboard stop working properly. I think they come from mini pro. Or at the very least they'd need some configury thingy somethere.
As a positive note, they DO make HW keyboard behave differently but swedish/finnish one definitely does not produce local chars.
Meh, I guess I need to fork up 2€ for wotanserver to get authentic finnish firmware.
FWIW I'm pretty sure stock finnish gingerbread firmware didn't have a problem with smart keyboard pro. And android + keyboard is a bit of a odd-man-out, we don't even get a forum..
Ed: Chrome works ok 95% of the time, I should file bug about text boxes where it goes crazy.
That's too bad, that it doesn't work for you.
Fact is we are at the border of android with physical keyboard.
And ow with nexus 3 without physical button except for sound and power...
I think (not hope) that physical keyboard for phones is almost arrived at its end.
Regarding stock firmwares, my update to ICS made by official sony companion just put me a Qwerty layout :-D so don't be so sure about stock firmwares ;-)
Umlauts in quertz
anybody know how to fix the orders of the umlauts for qwertz layout in the pop-up and make the SYM-Button working?
flashing of files newer worked for me, or a could'nt more use the shortcuts like copy-paste...
see also this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658959&page=20
Search trough the web for solution. nothing.
Physical keyboard has a driver, or own FW or sumthing?
And can i have the stock xperia physical keyboard app?
My sym button doesn't work, my direction arrows are weird, qwerty-stroke keyboard layout. But i accept the latin one too
Or where is this "driver"-stuff in the ROM? Can i copy from old ROM (which one is working), to ICS .587 (which don't)?
Thanks in advance

Good Post, i tried it but it does not work after i reboot.
So my keyboard is still the QWERTY layout instead of QWERTZ
Also, some detailed instructions on ES Explorer.
Once you open ES Explorer, Left Drawer --> Go to Tools --> Root Explorer --> Mount RW --> Set / to RW
Now you can follow the steps to edit the keyprint.xml
Again let me remind you, i tried this and it does not work. So if i have done it the wrong way, please let me know.
Hello,
I have a TF300 (no 3G), updated to 4.2.1 stock, will root it today. I want to create a custom keyboard layout - Armenian (my native language), by editing one of the standard layouts that I don't need. If I get right the solutions described here and here, it is possible to add a completely new keyboard layout by modifying one of the stock layouts, key by key.
The question is: which files are for the Asus virtual keyboard layout, and which ones are for the dock layout? I want to modify both. I know that I should look in "/system/usr/xt9/keychars" and "/system/usr/xt9/keylayout", am I right? Is there anything else that I am missing?
Any help will be greatly apperciated, please share your experience of modifying the stock layouts.
Thanks!
Still no reply?
Anyway, yesterday I rooted my TF300, installed Root Explorer, navigated to /system/usr/xt9/keychars/, and there were no keyboard layout files (*.kcm). The folder "keychars" itself was missing. Has something changed from 4.1? Where are the files with the keyboard layouts now?
I am in the same boat as you are! My native language is Macedonian, and cant figure it out. I wanted to do it with cyrilic, but I am not able to do it.
I have been trying to do this for quite a while. If you find a solution, please PM me.
Dear All,
I am with Amazon FireTV2 with rooted FireOS 5.0.5.1.
My Logitech K400 Plus is connected to USB.
Is there any chance to prevent the onscreen keyboard starting up as long as the physical Keyboard is connected? Or is there any Keystroke or possibility to close it with the keyboard or remote?
For example if I am using Chrome, clicking "previous or next" is not an option as it will move me to the previous page or reload the page.
Thank you in advance for your support or ideas!
I figured it out:
1. Installed Settings.apk
(Somehow it will not allow me yet to open "Language & Input via Settings.apk and forced/closed the settings)
2. Installed app "External Keyboard Helper"
Now "Language & Input" from Settings is showing up. Here I was able to activate the keyboard "External Keyboard Helper Pro"
3. Installed app "Quick Keyboard Switch"
Now you will be able to select a Keyboard, either "External Keyboard Helper Pro" or "FireTV IME"
*Just let me know if I should try to share the links for example to Settings.apk I have used or to the apps. Currently it won't allow me to paste the links*
