There are some difference between desire Z and G2's keypad.

Just noticed that CM RC2 is up now. Is this fix designed for RC1 or RC2 ?

redclasse, I'm kind of sure that this works with EVERY ROM?
Also redglasse:
u have 6 layouts and 13 keypad files? Why is this?
I pulled 14 layouts and 14 keypads from my phone?
http://www.filedropper.com/keyfilesfromscandidz
Is there overlap or did u miss some of them?
So could someone sticky this and make the guide to apply any rom?
(I tested G2 stock and confirm)

In theory it does. Also fixes the 4 capacitive buttons

OK, here is the 2.3 stock keyboard (gingerbread) apk, everything works except for vibrate on key press. Right now it is froyo only. Taken from Galaxy S forums.

download onto sd card, install using file manager such as astro, go to settings - language and keyboard and check the android keyboard box. Next in a text field long press and choose input method and then select android keyboard

In the android keyboard settings there's only an option to select the voice command language (however I've set it to Italian also, but nothing), there're no other language options.
In the main Language & Keyboard setting, there's an Option to select language and is set to Italian.
All in italian, but word suggestions still in english

[Q] Installing HTC_IME.apk

Hi all,
I am thinking to flash Leedroid ROM on my DHD hoping to get rid with the proximity sensor problem (mine is still 1.32.707.5).
However, I think this ROM does not include "Handwriting recognition" input method which is available in my stock ROM though it includes other 4 Chinese inputs. I find this input quite useful and I wish to keep it.
So, I have this idea but don't know whether it can be done. All guru here kindly advise.
Say, I cut and paste HTC_IME.apk and HTC_IME.odex using Root Explorer from this directory: /system/app/
(Note: After cut and paste into other folder, the "Touch Input" method disappeared from the input selection.)
Then I flash my phone with Leedroid rom.
I then reinstall it using HTC_IME.apk or copy these HTC_IME.apk and HTC_IME.odex back into /system/app/
My question is, whether the above method is the correct way to keep/transfer my stock "Touch Input" into new flashed rom?
Does Leedroid ROM actually get rid of proximity sensor problem?
Expert opinion from you all are much appreciated.
Thank in advance.
Regards!

Anyone please?

Having the same problem as well.

I ude lees rom and have no issues. Search the forum for modified htc_ime. Zip and flash in your rom after first boot from recovery.
Sent from my LeeDroided Desire HD

i'll hep you. Try install only HTC_IME.apk like other normall apps by any file manager. Now go to language input and look it is available HTC IME.

@mariosraptor do you mean the htc_ime_jonasl_hires22_27.zip file from this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416 and flash it with recovery??
@seba84_2005 can't be done, tired. Can install HTC_IME.apk on top of the Lee rom

I guarantee you that you can as I have done it over ten times. Just install it normally, language settings, select the htc_ime mod.

Yes jonasl htc_ime.zip
Download the flashable zip to flash it from recovery.
You can find it in plain Desire in Oxygen thread by AdamG.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I can install HTC_ime mod too. But what winwintoto1234 and I needed is to replace the HTC_ime that is in the Lee rom which doesn't has the Chinese handwriting option with the one from the stock rom which has it. HTC_ime mod is worst, it has no chinese input option at all (not to mention handwriting) + no arrow key.

Thanks for the replies.
In fact I tried to install as normal but it doesn't work. It couldn't even be installed.
I then copied both the files back into their original location but the input just refused to work. So I have to do a restoration using nandroid.
I however noticed that if we touch and hold the apk file in Root Explorer, it pops up some options, one of them is "Extract All". I think by doing this, the possibility for it to work again may be higher.
I did not try it again as I just don't want to do restoration again after installing quite a number of useful applications.
Expert's advice is most welcome.
Regards!

As has been stated before we are looking for the Chinese input which seems to be missing from the apps that we can find. I too am looking for the fabled Chinese Input from HTC so that I can use it on my Desire Z which I purchased in Taiwan but have flashed over to CyanogenMod (couldn't stand sense myself).

Fyi to the op, you cant use a odexed .apk ( .apk & .odex) on a deodexed rom anywyay. it will only end up with a dexopt crash

I've found that this thread has one that sort of works on my Desire Z. There is an issue where it fc's if you try to change the input method style (e.g. handwriting, zhu yin etc ) in settings, but you can change it from the keyboard. The physical keyboard on the other hand has a lot of issues, the zhu yin does not match up with what is on my board, it seems a little random as to where the zhu yin is. I hope this helps.

ask this in the thread of the rom itself. is more likely to have a answer there

I can not ask there, because i need at least 10 posts to write something in a development forum.
thanks for reply

That's already 2 ;-)

Well if you won't go to the dev, the dev goes to you. I have removed Kies and all Kies related stuff because it was bogging down on the memory.
Sorry =\

hey Kezra, another user, that can't post in DEV forum
is there some way you could give us Swype apk? you removed this keyboard in newest ROM, which is bad for me since I have to use Swype beta and it's not as accurate as normal swype.

You can find all those apps you are asking for here:

Hi, I'm on stock DXKJ5 and want to try this custom ROM out. I know that it's based on EUR ROM. Can I flash the custom ROM right away or should I first flash the stock EUR ROM?

Hi, just another note on this Rom:
I had trouble with my titanium backup, as it tried to restore swipe settings ave as mentioned before swipe is not included. Our ifs not a bug, but be aware that this might cause trouble.

Swype, TW calculator and TW calendar
Hi, I downloaded the .apks of the swype, twcalculator and twcalendar. Of course it wouldn't just install like other normal apps, so I tried to move it directly into the system/app folder.
I just won't move (or copy)! Says that some error ocurred and that it's impossible to move.
The phone has Kezra V3 rom and V6 super charger. It's rooted alright.
I miss swype... and MOST OF ALL, I miss XT9! It seems it just went away with this Version 3. Downloaded Go Keyboard but didn't really liked. The stock gingerbread keyboard with swype and full functioning XT9 is far better.
I'm considering "dowgrading" it to V2 again, I found a working download link somewhere in the V3 thread for it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

unzip the rom, place all the apps that you want in "system", "app", rezip the rom and flash it again without wipping data in cwm, that should solve your problem

Thanks a lot mate. I'm going to give it a try.
I tried to do this after the rom was flashed, with scrip manager. Just copy the app directly into the /system/app folder, however it didn't work.
I'll post my experiences back.
By the way, do you have any insight on the XT9 issue? It was a must have for touchscreen keyboards... I could live without swype, but XT9 was suppose to work with samsung keyboard... I'm confused with that.

[Q] Ways to make the keyboard use -My Dictionary-?

It's an irritating problem for me to again and again teach words to the different keyboards in various ROMs.....:crying: The first time I flashed a ROM, I backed up my dictionary using the backup option in my Stock ROM itself in Settings..... also, I made a backup of it using MyBackup app....
Now, the problem is that none of the ROMs except Sense ones use my dictionary. When I use MyBackup to restore my dictionary in CM ROMs, MIUI, everything except Sense ROMs, the dictionaries get successfully restored, I can even view them in Settings inside the dictionary options in keyboards.... but the keyboard never uses it!! I have 2 dictionaries in my phone... 'English - India' (my dictionary) and 'English - United States' (the default one created in every ROM. I don't see the 'English - India' option in CM ROMs, so the keyboard never uses my dictionary!!
Is there any way of copying words from one dictionary to another? Or any other way so that ROMs use my dictionary?
