Is it going to be possible to get the landscape sense on the EVO? Is it even possible since we dont have a keyboard?

Not sure! I just figured since it was out that the souce may have been to. Wishful thinking!

Not so sure. The HD Desire has landscape but the EVO has no way to trigger landscape mode. Landscape is triggered on the Shift when the keyboard is slid out. My suggestion before was to create an icon or use the G-Sensor but the code would have to be altered to except this.
I was thinking the same exact thing last night, that I was surprised there had been no ports, considering that the RUU was floating around.
I'm no dev, but in theory it should work better than a Desire Z or HD port, because it would start with a CDMA ROM, and should have WiMax (although I don't know if the same 4G chipset is in both the Evo and the Shift)...
but we better leave it to the experts

I've searched up and down and installed a myriad of APK's. Every stock HTC IME (meaning arrow keys) force closes on CM6 for me. I use the stock arrow keys all the time (bash terminal, RDP) and "need" them on my keyboard. Has any one had any success at all install the stock keyboard on CM6?
I would like to have this too. Anyone???
Hi Res
yes i found one i am using for CM6 right now. I think i deleated the file i will look and add it later if i find it.. IT was HI RES HTC IME seach for that
Im not sure what the otehr files in the zip do just install the IME.apk

should be HTC_IME_hi22.apk and Clicker_hi.apk (which i think is the settings or something)
i ran that file and then added this cyan color scheme on top of it
if you want the "lower keyboard" button you have to disable smiles in the settings
I still get force closes with any of these apk files. Anyone have better luck?
looking for this too, anyone with the stock HTC IME with the arrows, pls let us know! thanks
CM6 is non-sense. if you want sense, flash a sense rom
Flash one of the new DesireHD ports. You will no longer need the arrow, since it has that iPhone like feature where when you drag your finger through a text field, it magnifies your current spot.
Just a suggestion...not a good one though because you lose Camera, 4G and HDMI stuff...

I don't think it exists. At least, if it does, nobody is paying close enough attention to the question, because all of the IME mods I've been told to try lack the arrow keys. The closest thing was Swype, since it has arrow keys.

I don't think anyone here was asking for a sense rom. They were asking for a feature of a sense rom on cm6.
I'd love to see this too, what keeps the stock one from being ported over?
Is sense really that embedded in every little thing htc puts out?
It would be awesome if the arrows could be made to take up a little less space as well... this seems to be the only complaint I have heard about them anywhere.
Devs? Some of you have to appreciate the added benefit the arrows offer.
Sorry if this has been raised elsewhere, but I couldn't find it anywhere...
I know many don't like HTC's Sense. Personally I like it fine, with the huge exception that I can't use my phone in landscape half the time. I don't suppose it would be possible to enable landscape would there?
I'm running rooted stock 2.2.

yeah the home screen for sure, but since contacts, calendar, music, etc... are all modified by sense then none of them can go landscape either.
This is the number 1 reason why I don't use sense/Rosie. Its utterly ridiculous that sense doesnt do landscape.

The sad part is all the images are there (in the framework) for Rosie to go into landscape, they just don't let it. I've seen a mod done that accomplishes this but it looked terrible and would have taken a lot of work to get all the elements to look right. Maybe they gave up and decided to focus on a more important project.. like Sprint Nascar.. or the Sprint Promotion app..
Rosie has such potential but is such a let-down. If they weren't going to go the extra mile and make Sense own everything else then they shouldn't have wasted their time on such a crippled UI.
Sense for Windows mobile does landscape. Why not the Android version HTC? Thats one of the reasons I use adw

I completely agree. Its like they got to a point that they were happy and just gave up. The fact that landscape wasn't a high prirority is either lazy or dumb or both. This is basic functionality. As soon as I found adw way back when, Rosie has never touched my phone.
Yeah it does seem pretty dumb. Well I wonder if when the G2 comes out with an actual keyboard it'll mean that we finally have a landscape Rosie...

Id hope. You'd think that the Evo would have had it since they promoted the hell out of the kickstand. What good is a kickstand if you have to turn the phone vertically to use its most basic functions? Thank God for ADW.
Is it at all possible to mod rosie.apk to display in landscape when rotated? I know now the Desire Z has this function. I'm just hoping we can get it to work on our Desires with HD roms (or even without?).
So far i hear that if you modify rosie.apk then you need to resign it. But what if you modify it, then add the modified files from modded rosie.apk to a clean rosie.apk. Would that still break the signature?
Also mentioned is that it will only work if it detects that the hardware keyboard has been slid out. I'm sure there must be a way to "lie" to the launcher when it hits landscape mode to think the keyboard is always out?
I'm looking for thoughts on this from anyone but especially people who know what they are doing. I have decompiled rosie.apk and haven't a clue where to start. Just having a look at all the .smali files has headfucked me.
Thanks.
Some interesting info on the subject.

I was thinking exactly the same.
I don't think you can replace modded files in rose.apk, because they would be signed different and cause rosie to crash...
The "lie" option is a possibility I think.. But we would have to make a widget to switch.... or a set vice which checks the phone's orientation and changes the value when the phone is turned.

I was using Apk manager yesterday and I saw an option for modding system .apk.s and keeping them signed if that helps with the signing.

I don't think the problem is just signing rosie.apk i think if you re-sign rosie you need to resign all of its widgets and other .apks it uses.
I think the best option would maybe "tricking" the phone into believing the Android keyboard (hardware) is open. We would probably need a Desire Z port in that case too doh!

Just pushed Z's Rosie.apk in my HD rom, and as expected, the result was a bootloop
This means that even if the Rosie.apk will be successfully modified, it will only run on a Desire Z Rom, unless someone manages to mix those two Rosie.apk's (the one from the HD rom and from the Z rom) up and makes them work.
Pardon me if I am wrong, but ephumuris I think this Landscape Rosie is associated with the sliding keypad of Desire Z. Isn't so ? Well if we start modding it, wouldn't it happend that we got remove and add many associations of Rosie specially related to Hardware and furthermore we will have to associate the Hardaware sliding rotation to the Accelometer Sensor. I think it's quite painful task.

No, apparently if someone works out a way to trick the desire into thinking it has a slide out keyboard that has been activated then it could work. The other problem is that a lot of other.apks have to modified for the landscape feature, its a complicated task.

Does anyone Find that the carousel feature on sense 3.0 isn't sensitive enough? HTC came into work to demo the latest phones and I realized how easy its intended to be to get into this mode. I want to try work on a fix but I'm not sure where to start. The first thing to work out is if just controlled in the Rosie APK or could it be to do with screen sensitivity controled in another file.
If anyone has any knowlage about this it would be greatly appreciated
Try Hamdirs Rosie
Easy, looks good in slow motion

I'll have a look at this in the morning. I intended this to be more of a development thread as I intend to be able to work this into something to include in a rom. would be a good addition to the dev forums. Its so much easer to use on devices like the evo 3d and sensation xl, We should be able to change this with a bit of knowledge about the coding
Why?
Its only 5 screens, and all it does is spin you back to the same screen you were on. I don't want mine more senstive than it is really, otherwise it will be kicking off at random when I don't need it.
Sense 3.5 and Sensation based roms such as Virtuous Unity 2.39 seem to have much more sensitive carousels (1 full screen slide = spin). Its just the official HTC RUU 3.06.405.1 roms such as Revolution that have really difficult to spin carousels.
I'm pretty used to using the carousel to spin 3-4 screens, even though its probably slower... (But at least its just a full swipe and a tap, instead of 4 half slides)

Its 7, and even on sensitive roms such as VU and sense 3.5 roms, its pretty difficult to activate without trying as you have to slide around 75% of the screen somewhat quickly.
I tried looking around but didn't find any answers, I'm wondering is it any way possible to port the keyboard from TrickDroid to XGS Série's?
From what little I know, it would need some parts from sense, aka some files other than just the .apk file? Has anyone ported (or what is called? sorry for poor english...) the sense 4 keyboard to be usable on other ROMs?

Thank you kindly. Getting the keyboard seems to be possible, but a problem still remains that I can't get the correct layout (I live in Finland) for the keyboard. Just gotta wait I suppose, hopefully some day a version with all keys comes up.
