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 .

i downloaded from a diffrent forum.. but I can confirm that IT WORKS on Hero.. and it's not laggy at all.
Have to have CyanogenMod-6.0 or 6.1 installed.... or based on!
I'm quite impressed about this one!

The battery life on this rom is actually kinda good.
Better than other sense roms. Thanks for this one,im looking forward to a rom based on this one or atleast the new gingerbread sense from you sir. Your work is good.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

So this is just a stock vision Sense? I'm confused on what's added on Virtuous and not on stock Sense?

are there any screenshots?
thanks

Pretty sure its just vision sense.
Sent from my Rooted God-Like Htc Vision.

so... i can flash this on my Desire Z??
It's just almost Pure stock except:
Rooted with my customized version of Superuser (required until ChainsDD releases a version with my patches).
Deodexed with moderate compression throughout.
Busybox installed in /system/xbin.
Added large APNS list to /system/etc.

Yes,that`s all!
Otherwise its totally stock ROM.

Hi Guys! I have a short question concerning this ROM and Superuser
I used the 1.34 OTA Stock Sense ROM (right out of the box) and rooted my device with the HTC Vision Wiki tutorial. Everything worked fine.
Then "updated" to this ROM here and now my Superuser app keeps quitting as soon as I start the app.
I can't remove or update it (although there seems to be an update via Applanet).
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thx in advance

Can you capture and post a logcat of the failure occurring?

If I tried to use logcat on my device with Terminal Emulator and I get this error message:
"Unable to open log device /dev/log/main : Permission denied"
Does it mean I'm no longer on S-Off and due to that Superuser is quitting all the time?

does any1 have a release note for this HTC rom?

Does this make you lose all your data?
Just curious as its official if its possible to flash without losing everything (again)...

can I flash this to my Rooted G2 with Engineering SPL and Clock work?
Or does the kernel need changing and stuff?

long as you are rooted/s-off you can flash this rom, you can also use any of the kernels from here: http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/kernels/virtuous/2.x/ standard is the recommended =)

I want to try some sense apps, but not a full sense rom. Can I take these and push them to my CM7?
I will try in a bit

In short, no. Sense apps need the sense framework.
@Mnemoch Yes. If you're coming from another Sense ROM you can flash this without wiping - I flashed this over the official 1.72 last night and then added the standard OC kernel for Virtuous. It's smooth as butter

[Q] How do I install Apps2SD?

I've rooted my HTC Desire quite a long time ago and am currently running Official_FroYo_2.10.405.2, but have never installed Apps2SD.
I want to install it now as I'm running out of space in the pathetic excuse for an internal memory that this phone has...
My questions are:
- Can I install Apps2SD on the ROM I currently have?
- Do I follow just any guide? even if it's almost 2 years old? (for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535232), Or do I need to look for something newer, or more specific to my phone?
- What should I backup before I install Apps2SD?
Thanks in advance!

I feel best way is to install another rom with it built in. Try leedroid for familiar interface else you can check out miui or cm7.
There are also sense Rome with it.

if you havent got anything to say why post ?

There are requirements every rom needs which are stated in the main post. If you download cm7 version you need cm7 hboot. Then you must decide if you want something built around newest official release or you want a port, a 2.1+3.0 hybrid etc.
But as you wrote in such fashion your first post, it seems you have some reading to do nevertheless as it seems you mix a rom and hboot. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Search before asking. If it's been asked before there is no need to ask again.

cheers matey i didnt mix them maybe i didnt explain to good, one of my probs lol

Try oxygen 2.2.1 which is fast, stable, fully functional, works with stock hboot and is running gb 2.3.5 - its what I'm using right now. Its not sense but its a great rom.
You wont find it on xda as the dev has started his own forum - search google for oxygen forum

Guys, cool it, there's no need to be hostile. XDA is all about helping others, and the Search function, as we all know, is far from perfect. It's not the most efficient way to get to the bottom of what msdl28712 was asking--which is user's feedback of different ROMs. Actually, this is the most efficient way of getting that info: by posting and letting users answer, then let the post sink into oblivion a few days afterwards. So you don't have to PMS over something so trivial.
As to which ROMs are fast, I find that Oxygen and InsertCoin are the fastest GingerBread ROMs. Oxygen is AOSP, built with minimal hacks, while InsertCoin has Sense 2.1 from HTC. They're both lean, as can be seen from the less than 60Mb-sized zip files (less half the size of other ROMs like LeeDroid or Stock ROoted GB). MIUI is pretty slim too, only 85Mb zipped, although that's because the English language pack is itself 25Mb. If you're Chinese, then MIUI is only 60Mb zipped, which makes it a lean, sexy ROM like Oxygen. Those 3 recommended ROMs I've used myself, and have had not one single bootloop (I always do full wipe before flashing, even if I'm flashing a newer version of the same ROM). I think those 3 are the cream of the crop.

I haven't tried your others yet, but that's because I've been so happy with InsertCoin.
I haven't had any issues at all and is nice and smooth. Also the tutorials on the Devs own site are really useful.

[Q] O/C Kernel for HTC Desire Z

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.

Thanks a lot ill try them both...
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 :

Worked perfectly well
