Sorry if this has already been posted, but I need to know if there's a way to make the hardware keyboard light up again. I'm using a custom ROM(LegendtoSlide) and I really enjoy it, but the keyboard not working is something of a pain. Is there a file I can flash that will enable the keyboard again? Or a Legend ROM that enables the keyboard? Any help is much appreciated.
There is nothing that can be done until the developer updates the rom.

Is this really the right forum for this question?
I don't think it is.

I still don't understand why people don't just hit the report button. Every time I've done this, a mod has moved it very quickly.

Well, I was [personally] unaware that the report button should be used for such purposes. But if you're having success with it (and not being scolded by XDA personnel) then I shall use it henceforth.

It might be a different froyo sense rom that I'm thinking of, but there should be SOMETHING implemented to manually turn on and off the light. I believe if you hold search and press L on the hardware keyboard it enables the light, but that might just be on 3rd sense. There is also an app in the market that can do this, called Backlight off! or something like that.
I'm using Virtous Sense ROM and i'm very pleased with it.
I find the user buttons on the hardware keyboard pretty useless.
Is there anybody here who modded these keys to be something else?
I'm mainly looking for someone who made button 1 a 'close' button. button 2 doesn't really matter to me.
Anyone out there who wants to share this?
(i tried to read into it myself but found i little bit out of my legeau)
Thanks in advance!

I'm just curious from those of you who flashed, how is ICS implemented? There was some criticism of ICS replacing the 'menu' button and removing hardware buttons. Do the leaked rom builds use 'software' buttons also or are those functions coded to our hardware buttons (this is my assumption). Does the hardware menu button do anything (i.e. is it linked to 'menus' in apps still?)...how do you feel with the changes in 'search' button functionality in ICS?
I'm hoping to install the ROM myself soon and take a look but don't have the time now and was hoping someone could provide quick thoughts on these issues (I haven't found any reviews or discussions related to this...)
Thanks for any thoughts

Lol why don't you flash and find out =0 jk lol no the factory buttons are still in use I believe only new ICS phones from niw on will have on screen buttons everything as far as hardware buttons work normally only thing different is screenshot is home and volume down
Yeah, i tried to pre-empt that suggestion obviously thanks for feedback, i guess im just gonna have to try it and find out what software isnt working and how search and menu are integrated into the OS and apps. Im not really thrilled with what they did with the buttons going forward actually...we'll see. thanks
Like the title says, can someone please remove these damn arrow keys in the HTC keyboard? I like the keyboard, but hate the stupid arrow keys at the bottom, they take up too much room!

Yea i've tried third party keyboard. I like the ICS keyboard personally but thumb keyboard is great. I still have an issue where it double presses some letters which becomes annoying.

And here you are.
A feature of the old modded htc ime ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416 ) which i used to use on my hd2 was that you could set the volume + to be right arrow and volume - to be left arrow (or it may have been the other way around?). This was a great feature as that keyboard had no arrows either, so less space usage, but still had the ease of being able to quickly jump back a few spaces to correct a mistake. The magnify popup is sooooo slow to use when your in a hurry.
If this were possible with this keyboard it would be great.

Good work bud, hopefully we can get someone to hack those arrow keys off for us!
is this apk from a deodexed rom?, i ask because there is no classes.dex in this apk
EDIT: ok this isnt the .apk that was posted, but one i downloaded, this is from de odexed rom, i cannot/dont know how to edit a odexed .apk
need some one to test as i cannot test it, hopefully it will work , have removed arrow keys for portrait mode only , but for all languages , and for , p12, p20 and qwerty keyboards, if this doesnt work, i will not have another go at it till i get my device on monday, so i can test b4 uploading

Doesn't work here. Pushed it to system app and rebooted. Now I don't have HTC ime any more.. was I supposed to delete the original apk or not? Asking cause I did
Edit: Got my HTC ime back..with arrows
in my experience, you need to touch the edit box for the keyboard 3 times, if the mod i did is all ok this should happen:
1st time will bring up the voice
2nd time will close the voice
3rd time should bring up the keyboard
if the mod i did isnt ok
1st time will bring up the voice
2nd time the voice will start to translate...and turn blue
i have always just pushed via adb without deleteing the original .apk
also, sorry guys that this didnt work, its hard to test without a device..hopefully mine might come today, but probably monday
To be honest I don't know which edit box you are talking about
I now have both ime, yours and original. But this is how it looks like.. neither of the two imes appears at keyboard choice.
Maybe we better wait till you've got your device

Wondering if you're still trying to get this keyboard managed..
Cheers Pete

doesnt work with ARHD 6 heres the apk in rom if it helps
Thanks
Hi!
Since today I have a problem which makes my lovely old Desire useless. It seems like the home key is always pressed, so I cant use it.
I disassembled the whole telephone piece by piece following this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZqIjtFoAU and cleaned it but no luck.
There's any chance I can disable hard keys and use some rom with softkeys enabled?
Thx in advance
i'm using Sandvold's ICS with a patch from mattman for softkeys. and i'm very satisfied with it.
