Can someone help me out with installing the HTC Keyboard???

Im running the Cyan 4.2.12.2, on the G1

There are threads libt9.so goes in lib folder and the apk in app folder. There are tons of threads that show how to do this,I see this being closed quick.

maybe, but when i try im getting a messege saying that it cant be installed on my phone.

You put the libt9.so in lib folder in system folder and then installed the app?

You have to push the files using adb, not install them with adb or a file manager on the device.
as manup said,
libt9.so goes in /lib
and the apk goes in app dir

installing the htc_ime.apk
1. get the htc_ime.apk file
2. get a file explorer (OI, ASTRO, or any file explorer)
3. put the htc_ime.apk on the root of or sdcard or somewhere in ur sdcard where u can find it
4. go to Settings->Application
5. check the unknown sources feature
6. go to ur file explorer
7. tap on the apk file, it should give u an install option
8. follow the instructions and install it.
9. if its not showing even if its checked on the locale/text settings, then go and long press on any text box, and it should give u an Input method selection, select the Touch input radio button, then ur done.
if u wanna do it via adb, you can try and look up instructions, but this is the easiest way i can think of and i made the instructions as clear as i can.

thanks man

Weird i seem to install but when i start to use it .it force closes all the time !!!

This is the easiest way.. it's exactly what I do when I flash new ROM's with some messed up keyboard they think is cool... ha ha ha.

MGS codec unlock sounds

i am working on trying to figure out how to make my phone lock and unlock like the mgs codec. i have got the files on the phone and it works but is way to loud. i have attached the files i used if someone with more audio editing experince wants to take a crack at it.
the files have to be in .ogg format and be labeled Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg. i used advanced wma workshop to convert the files from mp3.
to put them on your phone if anyone wants this
1 reboot into recovery
2 mount /system
3 open cmd and nav to your sdk/tools folder
4 pull system/media/audio/ui (this will backup the files before you replace them)
5 copy the backed up ogg files from your sdk/tools folder to another safe location and put the modified ogg files into the sdk/tools folder
6 push Lock.ogg system/media/audio/ui
7 push Unlock.ogg system/media/audio/ui
8 unmount /system and reboot
also if anyone does do this could someone upload the backed up files for me i didn't think about doin the pull till i wrote this up and i don't feel like doing a nandroid restore to get them back.
edit my buddy confirmed that i had these backwards i guess that is what i get for not listening to the files first. i reuploaded with correct file names

what if you just took the audio files and decreased the volume of the actual file?

using audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
i used the amplify effect and dropped both ogg files down some
seems to be where i want the sound at, but you can use audacity (which is free btw) to drop it more if you want
http://www.mediafire.com/?etknj3uiv55ql99
fwiw you can adb push these while the phone is running if you adb remount before it (need s-off)

so i tried this through the mount/system through clockmod and was able to push this files but it will not switch to the files i pushed, just uses the system defaults any suggestions? im thinking of just overwritting the rom zip with the new zip sounds and reflashing sounds good?

I used root explorer and just put the files in the system/media/audio/UI and did a restart and it worked.

right on ill give that a try

hey I used rootexplorer as well but i have a question because it does appear to be working. so did you MOVE or COPY all the files (mp3 + ogg) into the UI folder? It does not show up.

i firsted removed the defaults and moved the new files works like a charm but for some strange reason the two sounds merge when i lock phone and the unlock works great not sure whats up may restore originals and try again but first attempt worked fine with the deleting and moveing, i was adding a boot animation and before i knew it both play? no biggie really they overlap each other so its not some drawn out tone

Make sure you did not put the .mp3 and .ogg file in the same place just the .ogg

nah, i converted the mp3s to .ogg files since i lowered the sound volume since originals were enough to give me a heart attack lol

Clever Doge

load boot animations without being in recovery(must be rooted)

I was messing around with root explorer and noticed that i was able to delete my boot animation with it when i was mounted as R/W so i thought i would try to copy one and it also works... so no need to push with adb shell.. here are the steps
1. take the boot animation make sure it is named bootanimation.zip and copy it to your SD card
2. then open root explore and mount R/W and then navigate to the file and press on file till the menu comes up and select copy
3. then navigate to data/local and paste the file in the local directory
and you are done, this can be done with the android_audio.mp3 file as well just paste it to the same place.
just thought this would make it easier for people instead of using adb shell

Exactly what I was looking for, I'll give it a try, thanks.
The Animation worked but the Audio didn't, do you also need to put the Audio in a zip file?

I didn't think that you needed root to access /data/
So in that case, would need Root Explorer? Wouldn't any file manager do?

Yeah, you dont need root access at all for this.
just adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/

need to look at the text file in your bootanimations.zip and add the words android to the front of the text in that file

download ANY ROM and extract it. it is located in /system/app. Use rootexplorer to replace the file and reboot... done!

thanks but how exactly do i do that i found them in file exploer but did not know what to do from their

download any ROM to a PC,
extract the files,
hook ur phone up to the PC and drag them over to a storage area,
purchase rootexplorer from the market,
launch root explorer and grant root access,
use rootexplorer to locate the files in the storage area,
Once found do a long tap and select "copy",
go back to /system/app via RE and hit the little "mount r/w" radio button,
choose paste at the bottom...

when i try to open system app for the rom it gives me the option to oper with zip viewer apk handler text etc which one do i use

also when i press mount rw i dont see a paste option

And u wont until u have the file to copy/replace the one in system/app like the Guy above said u can use root explorer EXTRACT the rom then go to the extracted folder it will ask u to do so. Navigate to the system/app copy whatever files u need and paste them into the system app folder of ur phone and reboot
And ur done

Here you go!

wow thanks guys one last noob question, where is the thank you buttom

never mind found it

Sorry when i paste the apk into system/ app then reboot it dosnt work so when i try long pressing then install it says problem parshing package

I never had much luck extracting on the device which is why I say do it on a PC. Drop the APKs on your desktop and then transfer them to your device. The use RE to copy/paste them in /system/app.

i downloaded the apk mms and tw launcher from a previous post and it still didnt work

when i paste the in system app it shows the name but no icon and they just stay at the top also when i reboot their is no change

and you are using rootexplorer, not some other program? at the top does it say "mount r/w" or "mount r/o"?

i press the button so it says rw then the other option comes up. when i paste the apk it shows up but no icon and when i reboot nothing.

im in rw mode when i paste mms.apk it shows up at the top but it dosnt have the icon then when i reboot no changes are made

If u dont like these lockin & unlockin sounds of i-fone for our pico, then u could simply switch back to ur old rom's sound (which i also hav attached beneath in the name "stock-soundz.zip")
U can keep ur own sounds or voices for the lock and unlocking sounds in .ogg format from this website http://media.io/
Jus upload ur mp3/amr or whatever audio format it may be.., jus convert to hi-resolution ogg file and rename it to lock.ogg and the alternative sound file as unlock.ogg and perform the above mentioned steps... :victory:
And one more important thing.., for the unlock and lock sounds to be heard, u need to go into settings>sounds> and check screen lock sounds.
:silly:
