HTC Keyboard on my XDAndroid TP2?? Can't get it to work.

Trying to get the HTC keyboard for my phone cuz let's face it, the android keyboard sucks. I've been following this thread over on the XDA Nexus One thread and have followed it exactly installing both APK's. Each time when i long click and select Touch Input, no keyboard shows up on the screen.
I'm not exactly sure why it won't work since i have installed several other keyboards over the past.
If anyone knows how to get this working, or is experiencing a similar issue please let me know.

Bump
Seriously? Nobody. The android keyboard sucks haha and my swype expired.

lol dude, not clue why it doesnt work, i tried downloading the v20 apk from the N1 forums, it installs but when you switch input methods it doesnt show up so stuck in same boat

eh ShapeWriter is okay. I really like swype a lot better tho. oh well, at least i know im not the only one who can't get the HTC keyboard working.

Not working on Diamond 2 also...

Physical kbd FTW!

working keyboard for android tilt 2
first you have to go to the xdandroid startup icon and make sure the model is on tilt 2 mode, then boot. just like using the regular keyboard. able to use fn key to enter numbers not like when they are all at the top.

[Q] HTC IME (Stock) for CM6

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.

[Q] Tilt 2 Installed new ROM. Hate it. Can I go back to Original Shipped ROM?

I installed the new Tilt 2 ROM 5.2.21887 (Aug 30/2010) I HATE IT
I'm a nuvee about ROMs.
I have this file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe can I *just* run it like I did with the new ROM to go back to the orinal shipped ROM?
I called HTC they said NO. Idon't believe them.

if im right you can install ANY rom after you used HardSPL:
check the sticked topic in this part of the forum (cant post link as a new user)

yes. you will be able to.

You don't need to HardSPL to flash an official ROM (for your specific carrier). The original shipped ROM will flash fine.

Thanks to redpoint73 and all of you guys at XDA.
My only hesitation is becasue de guy at HTC said NO!. (What does he know!)
Summary:
I had original tllt2 ROM.
I just ran the new Updated ROM. no HardSPL (I don't even know what's that)
I don't like the new ROM (only good thing is Videos run smoother)
I had the original ROM file .
Question: RUNning this file is the same as Flashing? (Sorry I'm really noobie)

Thanks LiquidXed,
Fortunatelly I have a file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe I don't remember how I got it (maybe HTC) but I'm sure is the original.
The only question is that the original ROM was about 8/09 and I believe it was a fix patch on 12/09. I bought my Tilt2 on 4/10 so I don't know if I have to install the patch plus I don't know what kind of patch it was.
Thanks for your help.

yeh the original had some hotfixes, and yes since u flashed it u need to reinstall them. ill attach. i think thats what ur sayin.? there are 2 of them i rared them, if u need em zipped let me know. just unrar them, put em on ur phone, them run them with file explorer. one is for sms and the other is for callerid

Just curious, what didn't you like about the new ROM? I DLd id today and was thinking about installing it. I've had an issue lately where the time gets thrown off, doesn't seem to sunc properly, and I thought this new ROM might address that issue.

Read the oter posts about the new tilt 2 rom.. there is a couple things that suck. I dont like that it dont have the mini task mannager at the top right where it tells u how much memory is free and beable to close app without haven to open the task manager. It dont have arc messaging client, it has HTC message client, and i dont like how it runs, its really slow. the rom itself is fast, it dont show notifications on the home screen , u have to click on the top taskbar to see if u have a missed call and what ever, also the first thing u need to do is install .net 3.0 before u don anything then u need to do a registry edit to get .net to work right.. There is some other things i dont like about it, thats y im not usen it.. wildchild has made a nice update of this new rom, that fixed alot of things that werent right.. but read the form here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737168 then ull get a better view on this about this rom, whether u want it or not. But the best way to deside if u like it or not is to flash it and try it. Make sure u have the original rom just incase u dont like it. If u dont i have a copy and could upload to hotfile or somethin

1-Besides the above items let me add that the deal breaker for me was they reduced the text input keyboard from 6 or 7 to just 3. No more letter recognition, or handwriting or my preferred method, block recognition. I know is not popular, but I love it becuse it's almost impossible to mistype, it the faster way for me, I use my finger or the stylus and the big plus is it doesn't cover the screen! and I don't even have to look at the screen! The current keyboard covers more than half of the scree and in landscape mode it cover almost all the scree, just one line visible at the top. But the worst thing is that even if I am using the hardware keyboaard it pops over and over again.
2- HTCalbum.exe is just useless. in the Photo and Video tab, if I press "album" to change the albums or to see the grid, it opens the grid view for 1 or 2 seconds and returns to swipe view. If I'm quick enough to press the album key it shows the list of albums but it freezes for a while and returns back again to the swipe mode. The I get an error message from Microsoft with a link to report the error when I press the it asks for Wifi connection. And even if I exit the error message keeps poping up
Internet is definitely slower.
I couldn't find a way to add programs to the WM6 Star menu icons and Sense only allows 9.
How you can see the list of ALL PROGRAMS??
On the good side FM reception is a lot better
The one thing that is noticible better is that finally the the video play is very smooth (sigh) I'm going to miss that because I moving back to the original ROM.

I'm using the gingerbread keyboard from the market and if you long hold space bar and drag up, you might be able to get some arrows

You could use ultra keyboard with the HTC skin, it looks the same and it more customisable.

I must have spent three hours looking for this today. Thank you so very much whoever modded this for gingerbread.

where i can find the htc skin for ultra keyboard?

I was looking for the same thing came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916686
The HTC IME from the addons section works on cm7.0.3!
The only thing is I wanted a pure HTC IME skin, but this one is custom themed. Anybody ideas how I can get it unthemed? I tried repacking it with apktool with graphics from HTC_IME_hi v27 but it didn't work. AppInstaller kept staying application not installed without an explanation as to why

thanks button = poked

Got my new SE Neo yesterday and hated the keyboard, tried a couple of the versions on Gimpsta's sight as this is what I had had on my X10 but wouldn't work. Should have known to check here first, thank you for making my nice new phone now perfect.

Thanks for posting!!

Gonna give this a try on my G2X running 2.3.3, hope this works!

DHD_HTC_IME.apk
u can try this one

[REQUEST] Arc Keyboard

Does Anybody know how to install the default Arc keyboard on CM7.2?
I didnt quite like it and want the Swype feature..... Also SlideIT and other keyboards are not so good.
Please tell me a way.
I have the textinput.apk file but it dosent get installed, nor does it work when i copy it to \system\app folder.
Also the original contacts aswell.
Thanks

There's another thread asking this and the answer was no. You should have searched.

Fantastic man...

I believe that is is possible. you also need the .jar files, as well as the lib files. i had a zip to make it work on the x10. i'll see if i can find it.
Pvy.

default
the default keyboard in arc s would be international keyboard.. from SE
its apk file is there in system/app.

@Pvy - Thanks Mate!
@Samson - The ONLY other thread I could find was skinning the default keyboard to black.. Nothing Else
I'm asking for SE Keyboard on CM7.2
@Arcman - I'm on Arc, Not Arc S
Anyway, I know about the file but its not either getting installed not getting detected if i copy paste it.
Also Even If i replace the current apk with this and changing permissions, still nothing happens

,..
don"t worry..
there are so many keyboards available in android market which are far better than
international keyboard

SlideIT, Smart Keyboard, Go Keyboard
Tried 3, Didnt quite work out
So no way to do that?
and Any better alternative their in which i can swype aswell?

Yes, the Swype keyboard might be good

Which one?

Swype is the best 3rd party keyboard app, imo.
BTW, what do you not like about CM7's keyboard?

Well, Many...
1 - The lowermost keys dont work
I mean the space bar and enter..... Well, dey only work when you touch the upper part of them!
Both in Landscape and Potrait mode!
2 - I want the Swiping Feature!
3 - That shortcut key to graphical smileys next to the symbols key!
4 - Well, when I type in a word, and I press enter, it does not go to the next line, in fact its like it 'accepts' the input. And I have to press the return key again.
And as i like my typings to go fast and efficient, It dosent go that ways. :|
If you can find a work around to all these in CM7.2, I'll Practically Worship you!!!
OR, Get the original stock Arc Keyboard back!

I want it too
I hate Cyanogenmod keyboard Will try MIUI in few download minutes
