Hi Guys,
Installed a few of the ICS ROMs with Sense 3.6 on the Desire Z and they all have issues with the H/W keyboard. Most seem to have trouble with the "@" key, but there are other keys such as the "function" key that seem to have issues.
Are there any fixes or ROMS that don't have this issue? Tried the ROMS at this link with no luck... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493365

Hi there.
I'm wondering if it is possible to port the Desire Z HTC_IME to Desire Froyo Sense? The Desire Z onscreen keyboard looks very nice and it has some danish characters (Æ, Ø, Å) that arent on the Desire's onscreen keyboard.
I've tried RCMixHD_Z_IME_signed.zip from the RCMixHD Rom but sadly it kept crashing so that wasn't of any use
Anyone know if this can or have been done?
Hi all im a noob at the whole flashing roms thing.
i have flashed leedroids newest rom 3.0.3 which as i understand is based on the leaked gingerbread.
i thought i read somewhere that gingerbread was supposed to get a revamped keyboard but leedroid still has the same keyboard as froyo.
so my question is
are there any roms out there that has the new revamped keyboard?

as seen in the above link
Sorry, not exactly what you're looking for but I like LeeDroid ROM so in an effort to get you to keep it....
You can download it from the market. It's called something like "Keyboard from Gingerbread"
thanks i like leedroid but as i said i am just new to this so am going to try other roms 1st before settling on one. i was just wondering if anyone knew of one that had gingerbread keyboard
If you are not fussed about sense try an AOSP ROM like CM7 Cyanogen.
The sense ROMs use the HTC keyboards.

sorry should have mentioned yea i like sense.
ive just tried a rom that was supposed to have sense 3.0 in but was a bit laggy so back on leedroid atm
It is a great ROM. But like I said, you could always download the Gingerbread Keyboard app. Not perfect but is one solution.
I always treat Sense ROM's as something you have to make sacrifices with (as a fan of non-sense ROMs) and that's why CM7 runs on my phone a LOT more often than LD's.
i tryed gingerbread keyboard but like swypekey which i previously used it has no navigation keys. i have settled on leedroid and am playing with different themes now.
i have also purchased thumb keyboard because it was the only keyboard with navigation keys that i could find.
thank you for your help

That thumb keyboard does look good.
Swift has arrow keys but they are in a sub section (pressing "alt").
Good luck with it all, sorry couldn't have been better news.
I didn't see them but I only tried the 1 month trial. I like this keyboard as it has the navigation keys and i like the number pad in landscape mode
Hi guys,
Whilst I'm aware of the numerous Japanese keyboard apps available, I'm looking to get the official IWNNIME Japanese keyboard that is built into the Japanese android phones onto my Desire Z as I've heard it is faster and I am hoping will work better than the apps that are far from perfect (especially concerning compatibility with our beloved hardware keyboard).
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0.
Does anyone know if a version of IWNNIME compatible with the Desire Z exists? Would a .zip from another HTC work?
If anyone has any information on this I'd be extremely grateful as I'm moving back out there soon and I'll need a proper solution to typing at length in Japanese!
Thanks in advance!

So this problem has been a nuisance to me since I updated to a stock rooted GB Desire Z Sense ROM. I don't recall it being a problem back on the stock Froyo ROM, but it's be a very long time since I've been running it. There's this small bit of horizontal scrolling in the Facebook application. I have yet to notice it in any other applications, but that's not surprising because my phone doesn't have very many apps. I've tried other ROMs such as MIUI and CM7 (many different versions of each) and I only seem to have this problem on a stock Sense ROM. I'm not into the sense 3.0 etc ROMs because they're too slow and glitchy for me, so I'm not sure if it's a trend on Sense ROMs or what. But today I found out that it's not just me who's having this problem. Someone that I know has never done any modifications or anything to their Desire Z has the same problem on their non-rooted phone.
Finally to my question, is there anything that I can do about this problem? I was thinking that maybe it had to do with Facebook thinking my screen is bigger than it is or something. I'm not a total noob, but I'm no where near qualified to deduce anything. I've searched the forum and google to see if there was even anyone who had talked about this problem and came up with nothing. Any help at all would be appreciated.

HTC Desire Z A7272
Kernal: 2.6.35.10-g7b95729
Build: 2.42.405.2 CL84109
Situation:Currently rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912) and installed Virtuous Sense (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837042). Although the Virtuous Sense DL link is dead on virtuousroms.com I scanned the end of the thread to find mirrors by other members.
Question:So now I run the 2.1 HTC Sense version the only problem is that on my G2 the "www./.com" button gets changed to a tab button (anyone have a fix for this specific button?), but I love it none the less. I've read (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837002) which remaps the buttons but I only want to change the "www./.com" button not the soft keys.
Question:Now that I'm into the flashing rom scene I was wondering if there is a more recent and/or stable/bug-less HTC sense UI for my G2?
Question:Also can anyone explain the difference between Virtuous Affinity, G-Lite, Quattro, etc.(http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/roms.html)? Are they just codenames corresponding to each newer/updated HTC sense UI or are they completely based on other UI's compatible to the G2/Desire Z?
Question:Lastly can anyone confirm if this rom will work fully(including the function of the physical keyboard) with my G2? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432220)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659080
that works on most roms and remaps a few things on the keyboard, though that sets the key to tab ...But to be honest im now Sure how to map it back to the default. maybe ask in there how to "undo" it? the developer is very nice and tried to help me figure out why it refused to map my keys. Maybe he can tell you what to do?
B)
they are just names for separate projects
G-light is the bare min OS, lightweight, nothing in it or on it. Non Sense, Gingerbread 2.3 with around 50-60MB of ram usage at boot. Speed and Battery are all its aimed to do (and be a phone of course).
Quattro is a full featured 4.0.3 rom
Affinity is sense 3 on Gingerbread 2.3 i think... (at least Version 2.5 is)
if you just click on the build pages they should have a nice description about the rom, its tweaks, its aim and its features
C) Not to that specific one.
and i know lots of people like the sense roms but... they just are too much Glitz and Glam for our phone IMO. IF you are going to run it, it will have lags, it will freeze on occasion etc (or at least every one i tried *sabsa, viper etc*, sabsa i even ran a 512MB swap... still lagged )
