The G keyboard - G1 Android Development

I'm not sure if this has been asked but can i get an update.zip that has the G keyboard, the onscreen one, for my H build?

i doubt that will be done
because both builds are pretty much the same
if u want the google keyboard use the G build...
thats why haykuro made two builds
because of two different sources
now if he were to port everytihng from the g build to the h build and from the h build to the g build what purpose would that serve?

The purpose would be one has has the dev support and such. And i choose not to use the G one because of the lack of market support currently.

G doesn't lack market support. Something is blocking it. It was working fine until we ALL randomly lost the ability to download. I'm sure the support will be back soon.

Ok I know it has the market so let me rephrase that, it lacks app download support.

what about if i wanted to move the G keyboard to H myself? would that work? where wouuld i find it? I have looked thru the update.zip and dont see anything jump out at me...

thats what I want to the black keyboard on the H version would look and feel way more sleeker

Im glad to see im not the only one. And im pretty sure its like the whole usr folder

Looking forward to this
I also wanted the G build keyboard on the H build, it seems faster than the H build.

so where is it? I am happy to have a crack at it butnot sure what i have to push across, or swap into the zip...

just having a quick look inside that folder and comparing it to G, the file sizes are exactly the same..... wonder if just a straight drag and drop would work?

dudes its easy, i have the HTC keyboard and the G keyboard on my g build, jsut use ADB to push the latinIME.apk to your system/app folder on your device, reboot and bam.

Don't work ^^. It always force close

joeydsmith:
Funny enough, HTC and Google put things together differently.
HTC_CIME.apk is self-contained, while latinIME.apk depends on some ressources (the button-sprites atleast, they're in framework-res.apk).
So... Don't say it's easy unless you have tried, or are sure things will work
funbacon:
Well, thats not a very good explanation of the problem.
Throw latinIME.apk over, and watch logcat for the errors. It's probably missing some ressources, but giving it them is hard without knowing which ones it want

well whatever.

Well i was trying that. I have made an update.zip and one by one added the files that it sad it was missing, so idont know how long this will take nor do i know if it will work. Any other ideas?

Using recovery for update is intended for distribution of updates/patches.
If you want to see if your modifcations work, pushing them with adb to /system would be much faster ("adb shell", "su", "busybox mount -o remount,rw /system", "exit", "adb push ./yourfile /system/where/you/want/the/file", "adb shell", "su", "busybox mount -o remount,ro /system", looks long, but it's better than pushing the zip, and rebooting to recovery )

''Clean'' Firmware?

I understand everyone is Pimping out there g1 with the HTC Sap but is there such a thing called a Clean Firmware.
With the g1 having extreamly bad battery, I was woundering if it was possible for a Clean Firmware where there is all this extra junk on the phone that is not needed, Cleaned off the phone. Make a new Radio that uses less data and the use of Edge only(I understand theres a option)
*Please, I understand how power full this OS but some people dont need this extra junk sitting on there phone making there phone slower
PS: I understand I have little posts this this forum, Please, give me some respect.
PSS: Thanks i understand this might not be possible but I was just thinking
if you are wanting to remove certain applications from your phone just remove them using the terminal emulator. for example to remove amazon.apk cause it's stupid you could do this(assuming you rooted your phone)
su
rm -r /system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk
you can do this for any application on your phone but keep in mind that certain apps might cause instability. for example if you delete myfavs you will end up with a very unstable phone

people who have flashed the 4.5/4.9 sapphire builds have been reporting much much better battery life. probably best to do this then, as remedial said, remove whatever you need through the terminal.
There are consequences for flashing to these builds. Do remember that these are beta builds and may be unstable in certain cases.
Alright, I am back from my plane trip from my vacation. This is the reason I had no access to a computer. Anyway

It will work as long as you have one of the JF builds. Keep in mind though that if will come back every time you flash a new theme and then you have to delete it again.
And just to give you all a head start, here's a list of *safe* apps to remove
***SAFE***
Voice Dialer
YouTube
Amazon
Alarm
Email
Calculator
***Not sure***
Voice Search
Messaging
Callendar
Maps
Market
***NOT SAFE, MAJOR STABILITY ISSUES***
Camera (loosing ability to set wallpaper)
IM (all kinds of force closes and errors)
MyFaves (loosing contact info, force closes)
If you need to determine an exact name of the apk you can type
su
#ls /system/app
Good luck

Bluetooth Keyboard driver for Android

Yesterday I saw this picture on another forum:
It appears to be a bluetooth keyboard driver for the android, and the screenshot already shows a successfully connected keyboard with what seems to be some test input text.
Unfortunately no apk no nothing.
Here is the thread on xda-devs discussing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508026
And here is where I've found the picture:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-droid-eris/1158-external-bluetooth-keyboard-droid.html
Let's try to identify this software and get our hands on the apk, for the major good of our android devices !
http://www.mytouch3gaccessories.net/bluetooth-keyboard-b0056.html
Does the Mytouch have a HID profile? This keyboard implies such.

Maybe a stupid remark, but in the picture in OP, the bluetooth symbol doesn't appear to have any devices connected.

I think the app is not using the google api since the bluetooth functionality provided is so limited:

So maybe this explains the icon's state.

No. Read the page more carefully. It clearly states that the MT3G does not currently support the HID profile.
I wonder if the majority of Android users are rooting their devices. Seems like a must have for the more exotic applications.

Yes, I worded poorly. I more accurately meant, "Has the MT3G been hacked to support the HID profile?" The claim at in the ad implied they could do it, but that's hardly confirmation that it works.
Subsequent searches yielded the two links I added in the edit. Indeed some have gotten a HID profile to work.
So I just got my logitech bluetooth keyboard connected to my Magic, running excellently

If anyone wants a guide as to how I did it I could put it up
Please do!
The instructions at http://i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/09/connect-bluetooth-keyboard-in-android.html should be easy enough, I got my Dell BT keyboard working on my G1 without problems.
Yep thats what I used
...well, what about the reverse? Is it possible to use the Dream device keyboard via bluetooth to communicate with, let's say, a PS3 for example?
(be nice, I really don't have a clue lol)

that's awesome. I got it to work with my iGo stowaway keyboard but only briefly. Do I have to type the hciconfig commands in a terminal or adb shell each time I want to connect? Looks like an opportunity to put an app in the Market
There's no need to push the files mentioned in the link. At least for CM 4.2.5. My Apple BT keyboard works just using the hidd commands. Now we need to write a script to do this, using solely the hidd --connect command, with the appropriate device MAC, then linked to a shortcut on one of the home screens. Very nice.
edit: typo correction
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486486
Easy to make a shell script shortcut with the program here. Do...
hidd --connect MAC
with su, then link to a shortcut on the desktop via a long press.

There really is no easier way unless someone writes an app or a script to automate the commands.
Not to be a **** but if you don't understand the instructions on that blog then you are really risking seriously damaging your device by doing things that are on this site. I am surprised you were able to root...
Wow, this works perfectly.
For total noobs - if you follow the instructions from the link - before running the commands, you obviously have to:
# chmod +x hcitool
# chmod +x hidd
(otherwise ull get permission denied)
also you might want to change system back to ro when you are done
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
I really wonder why Google doesnt put any effort in developing HID bluetooth service for Android. Would be really cool to be able to use different types of input devices (especially for games/typing).

[Request] Someone willing to do me a favor & modify this app?

Okay, here's my situation. I have a ton of numbers in my address book (well, Google Contacts), and I use this app called Contacts Clean-up to make sure all the formatting of all my numbers are the same and everything. Now the problem is with this application it forces you to format your numbers so they have a "+" before your number (ex. +1-555-555-5555).
I went to use Darch's Legend ROM and for some reason that format of a number isnt supported, it just wont let me call the people. Being that I have hundreds of contacts between Google Contacts & Facebook I need to have my numbers formatted WITHOUT the "+".
Long story short, the app is open source & I was wondering if someone could modify it for me to make an option to not have the "+" in the number. I know someone's gotta know how to do it...
Here's the link... http://code.google.com/p/android-contacts-cleanup/
Thanks in advance.
just take a look at the source yourself. it's pretty clearly outlined when you find
svn/trunk/res/values/strings.xml
i'd do it for you right now... but i can't check out a copy of the source since i don't use linux
but if you look in the strings.xml, you'll see the '+' sign that you want to get rid of clearly. if you're running linux, simply modify the file to delete the + sign and package it back to the apk, i'm assuming. then it should work fine
It just sucks that I'm on my mom's Mac right now.
Any ideas how to do it from here? Or anyone with Linux willing to help a fellow Android guy out?
i'm not sure if it works on a mac, but give it a try anyways!
just go to terminal and enter
Code:
svn checkout http://android-contacts-cleanup.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ android-contacts-cleanup-read-only
To do it on a mac you would first have to install macports, and then run:
Code:
sudo port install subversion
After that you would then be able to check out the source.
Damn I'm on my mom's computer right now... I can't really install anything.
Ughh. Could anyone possibly try to do this for me if its not too much trouble?
I'll see what I can do. I might have some time to do it tonight yet.
Edit:
I have made the edits that are needed. Also, it required a bit more than just editing the strings file. This is obvious to anyone who has experience with Android development since the strings are only for display. As far as getting it to do what you wanted, that was just a few quick edits to the Formatter class.
PM me for a link to the .apk to install it. (I'm a new user, so I can't post links.) Just download it OTA. You will need to enable unknown sources in order to install it.

Black glass Facebook Twitter Pandora

Ok 1 thing first....
Is anyone else attempting to theme apps located in /data/app?
any one having luck?
----------------------------------------------------
Well now that we have an sbf heres my work
UPgrade black glass for Twitter Pandora and Music
Twitter http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QEKLCBL0 newest avail
Facebook --- in progress
Music http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0O15MDH0
Pandora http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O8SN6KAA
For twitter pandora and facebook CUT the original from /data/app and move to a safe place, like a backup folder on your sd (root explorer to do this)
for music just make a backup you dont have to remove
Make sure the first letter of Music is capitalized or you will get doubles
download the file and place in root of your sd
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/"APPNAME.apk" /system/app
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

So how does the SBF help us? I understood it to only be helpful in case our X's (phones) got bricked.
I originally wasnt going to release these because it was messing with a lot of stuff, moving apks to different locations and stuff. I knew if the system/app file wasnt right people were having trouble with doing a restore.
Now with the sbf theres is a major reduction in the risk of doing a "brick" so Im releasing these into the wild and if by chance someone messes something up, there is hope for them.
Mainly just didnt want to give people extra ways to break their phone.

I never took credit for these, and only gave it. I never said these were my builds. These were a mash up of images from multiple places, too many to keep track of in fact. It has been brought to my attention that more than one image from a certain dev is in use. I thought I received permission earlier this year, but cannot find the pm stating so...
Sorry for the trouble. Never meant to step on toes, just tried to offer a little bit of flair.
Pandora was taken down because I have no idea where it came from, don't want the same issue.
Music is still up, it has no "exclusive" images.
Pm me if you want help doing your own customizing.
I'm leaving the op alone so I don't get accused of never giving credit.and editing it after the issue came up.

I made the changes that rothnic suggested in the build.prop, loaded the lib, and dropped the ap in system/app and my tab doesn't see it at all. I've loaded a ' few' different versions on it that install but just fc. I've spent hours on it with no luck yet.
I'm not giving up hope for someone to release and update.zip but I'm not going to bother rothnic about it (anymore) as I'm sure he's working on roms and such. Even if he weren't, he's done more than his share here and I'm sure one of us will get it.
I'm still working it myself and if I make any progress I will surely let everyone know.
Just a reminder we can't post the .apk for swype here, as we don't want the thread pulled, again.

It sounds like you are doing something wrong when copying it over. It should come up under keyboards in settings. You would enable it there, then long press on an input box to switch to it.
I just did this a second time today and can confirm that it works.

yea, I was hoping that was the case but there can't be much that can go wrong. Download it or copy over via usb... then use root explorer to put it under system/app
For some reason I cant get ADB to work anymore? It had at one time. Do we know of any known issues with flashing that we loose the ability to ADB?
Oh well... I am a patient person and it's not like its a deal breaker for me. All is working pretty smoothly 3 weeks into the game.
Swype / ADB ... Progress / NO Progress
Ok, this is VERY interesting...
I still cant get swype to work. I FINALLY got to ADB push the .apk and the Lib and triple checked the build.prop (even used a couple different ones).
All I get is an FC over and over and when I got to settings-applications-manage, to clear cache, it's grayed out. I booted into recovery and cleared dalvik cache, wipe cache, and data. I have even gone as far as to re-flash the ZPAD 1.1, load gApps, Market Hack, Open GL Hack, and restart the whole swype process again with the same result.
HERE IS THE INTERESTING PART and we may want it posted elsewhere: I couldn't get my win7 to load the proper ADB driver (even though it had worked before). I found an app call ADBWireless (widget). It allows me to hit the widget and connect through ADB wirelessly (local wifi) and push/pull ect.
This was amazing and easy to use. Of course you have to have the Tab up so it wouldn't help for anyone who's in a loop.
When you hit the widget it shows the local ip address to connect to:
-I go to the command prompt \androidsdk\tools and type:
adb connect 192.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555
-it connects, and I am able to see the device
I have to use adb remount and then I'm good to go.
Hope this helps someone down the road. I'll keep checking back here but feel free to PM me if you have any questions (or find an update.zip for swype to work).
I made a little progress last night, got rid of the FCs but I can't get the keyboard enabled in the Settings. I managed to track down a Swype version from a Samsung Gaxlaxy Tab, at least that is what I think it is from, and then I had to find the necessary Lib file from somewhere else but when I push the .so to the Lib through ADB and install the Apk it seems like I'm closer, I can open the Swype settings screen and change things but I just can't get the keyboard enabled in the settings and then of course I can't pick the Swype keyboard when configuring the input method.
What changes were you making to the build.prop?

there was a 'header' so to speak that Rothnic posted that mad a few changes to the build.prop to make it look like portions of the Galaxy. He has it at the 'other' fourm.
Checked the permissions on the build.prop and they looked different. I couldn't just 'change' them in root explorer so I re-inserted the lines on the original build.prop, also did a fix permissions in CM (not that it helped).
Permissions in the lib file are hard to tell what they are supposed to be because several of the lib files there have different ones set. Swype.apk permissions look the same as the others. Still getting same FC's over and over. I was able to get into manage apps and hit force stop and clear (quickly tho) but goes back to the same after reboot.
Thanks for trying, as I said before, it's not a biggie. I just enjoy swype as being from palm and blackberry phone's if it weren't for swype I dunno that I would have kept an Android phone.
I can wait, I've spent too many hours jackin with it (although I did learn about the adb wireless and I am comfortable in pushing file that way now)
I managed to get it working although it is a little laggy. I followed rothnic's info in the other thread and after playing around with the build.prop file it is now working. Hopefully as the roms get faster this will get faster. Thanks for the help.

How did you do it? Can you be specific? Which version of Swype are you using? Where did you find it? What other thread?
Working on latest zpad rom. Had to set permissions - I think the important ones were r-x for User on both the lib and apk. And of course the build.prop edits.

I'm pretty sure the swype word is naughty here so I suggest you google for 'rothnic swype' and check the post on the other forum that comes up.
I used adb to push the modified build.prop to the sd card, along with the .so and .apk files. Then I used adb shell to copy the files to the locations rothnic specifies.
