HTC_IME or HTC_CIME Never worked on ION Rom

I'm trying to make HTC_CIME to run...but no matter what i do...
1. adb install and push the lib over..never worked (with check box to put chinese input, but the keyboard is still the normal android keyboard)
2. try using update.zip rename never worked (no check box option, same effect)
3. finally i ended up trying HTC_IME as well...that didn't work as well
I'm soo confuse...is ION rom can't use HTC_IME/CIME?????
I have seen another member install it and work perfectly on daldriod's rom...

anyone figure this one out?

I've got HTC_IME running on my ION. Make sure you have the correct package.
All I did was adb install *.*
and later just installed via ASTRO

I have it running on my stock ion rom rooted... use haykuro's method to install it and then install the clicker... after that open a sms or email and long press select input method and you are done... itll stay as default keyboard...

How did you install via ASTRO? I try copying the files but it wont let me overwrite. I try installing on daldroid's rom... without luck.

Remeber to adb remount THEN
adb push HTC_IME.apk system/app/HTC_IME.apk
adb push libt9.so system/lib/libt9.so
adb restart/reboot (can never remember)
Once its rebooted open a new sms and long press entry field

Install htc keyboard instead of original keyboard

Hi all,
How can I install (and use ) the grey HTC keyboard instead of the original present in cupcake (and then in vodafone rom and CyanogenMod with Palm Pre theme).
Thanks in advance

Is it a full qwerty keyboard? It vibrates when I type a message?
I just need to apply the update.zip?

On top of that you can also download Better Keyboard from the Android Market i think its US$2.99... buttons are bigger (so it'll let you be more accurate) and can apply skins to the keyboard. Cons, it takes more screen space than the original keyboard but for me i rather type faster with less mistakes.

Thanks to all guys!!!

Hey Ho!!!
I've got a rom with the HTC Keyboard, but i don't like it...
Is there a way to get the original Keyboard back?

Try Haykuro's :

Thats what i used but thanks.The problem is we have it on our systems but it wont use it automatically just uses cupcake one.Any way we can remove cupcake one?

I used the adb method and it worked find on my rogers ROM.
adb remount
adb push HTC...
Then rebooted and that's it. Pretty sure those were the steps I took.

Have you pushed libt9.so library file ?

Related, but not exactly the same...
I had a similar issue with RAv (wanted to replace the HTC keyboard with the HTC Chinese input, HTC_CIME) and Amon_RA suggested the following (after applying update.zip):
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_IME*
adb shell rm /system/lib/libt9.so
adb shell rm /system/app/Clicker*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
However, for me, when I did it this way it didn't work. Reversing the order works, that is, doing the adb commands first, then boot into recovery and and all.

Is there any way i can get the google keyboard on a custom rom? Liked that better than the htc one....

Yes i pushed libt9.so aswell, As i said i can find it in lkocale settings but i cant use it anywhere but calibrate? Im using cyanogens port

roy_drage gave me a solution. Go to create message then long press message input box, choose touch input

While I placed the files from his zip directly on my SDcard and used terminal to run the command, Junker's method appears stable. I have Google voice, protected apps in market, and functional Navigation. (can't answer for facebook, since I don't have an account.)
Note to someone who does not know shell commands...don't try and copy the ADB commands they are not the same. Know what you are doing before you do it.
Thanks for the post Junker02

i really dont get why there are like 325435412512 threads for this.
They should be condensed into 1.... and listed as separate options/ways to do it.

I had no connection then realized I didn't have USB debugging enabled.
Seemed to work fine.

I believe the methods listed on the other threads are incorrect, or are more complicated than need to be (and possibly breaks other apps). I only found this method buried in the think-tank post, and though it was suggested for the OP to fix the first post, it never was. Hopefully others who are on Cyanogen's ROM will appreciate the info.

I agree, the other threads over complicate it and cause problems for those who don't know what they are doing. If they learned how to do it themselves there would be less questions and complication.
But then again, now this is just another thread about nav. Really, they should all be locked and something like what is in the first post should be put in the informative links thread.

wanted to thank you for instructions, possibly a better forum wiulda been q&a, as I go there to find answers and help solve some =) other than that this does clear some things up such as the ro line. Like in the other post it says almost same thing but fails to mention the line to change. Etc..etc... this did catch my eye and I was was about to try another method for my buddies phone and this saved me of searching through a thread. My penies, again ty.

I had no problems, but I did it myself:
from scratch (no map mods, orig build.prop):
adb remount
adb pull /system/build.trout.prop build.trout.prop
open it with notepad and edit the line
ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.6/DRC83/14721:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
so that it reads
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
save it
adb push build.trout.prop /system/
adb shell reboot
now reininstall google voice from market and reinstall maps with the new one

ok, even easier, do you have astro?
you can navagate to the /system directory, copy the build.trout file to your sdcard directory. mount your sdcard and edit the file with notepad. copy it back over to the /system directory and reboot
then install voice and maps
or try doing the same from your pc using droid explorer

The ADB app is included in the download. I'm not sure if it will work without the driver installed, but you can give it try and report back. Simply run the two .bat files and it will execute all the necessary ADB commands automatically.
Worse comes to worse, you would just need to install the driver for your phone.

Ok, here are the steps I took without adb, since comps at work do not allow USB write.
I uploaded the build.prop and maps.apk and sent them to my email using yousendit.com
Downloaded both into sdcard/download
Using "Root Explorer" navigated to /system and set it R/W (there's a button on the top)
Moved the build.prop to /system
Reboot
Install Maps
Reinstall GoogleVoice
Voila!

When I run the first batch file I get this errror: Device not found.
I've never gotten this message before. ADB was working fine for me a few days ago, before I reinstalled 4.2.5. Any ideas?

If you can't get the batch files to work, edit the batch files to see what commands are performed, and execute them in a terminal. There aren't that many.

adb remount says "error: device not found"

Here you go guys, safe simple and so easy a caveman can do it... (insert the, "If you break it, it's your own fault disclaimer here.)
Download the file in the first post of this thread.
extract the file on your hard drive and copy the build.trout.prop file and the Maps.apk, then put them on to your SD Card.
If you can't get this far....we have a bigger issue.
Then in terminal emulator type
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/build.trout.prop /system
reboot
When the device reboots then do this one in the terminal emulator
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/sd/app/*Maps*
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*
rm /system/app/*Maps*
reboot
*Note: Someone might say that the reboot at the end of this code is not needed. That maybe, but it worked just fine for me.
Now using Astro, or another file manager, install the maps.apk from the sd card.
If prompted, install the voice. I had it from other programs.
Turn on GPS
Open the drawer
Click on Maps
Let the Maps program find you
Then click menu, directions
Enter the destination, and click go.
It should show
Code:
My location
<the destination address you entered>
Show on map
[B]Navigate[/B]

Thanks for making clear instructions for the terminal emulator [email protected]
Everyone please remember that one can only use the build.trout.prop file in the first post if they are also running Cyanogen 4.2.5 on the G1, else you run the risk of app errors and force closes. If you are running a different version of Cyanogen, make a copy of your own build.trout.prop file found in your system directory, and edit it.

getting stock Android keyboard on sense 2.1 ROM

so, it seems as if a lot of people want to get the stock Android keyboard onto sense builds, because they type better, keys larger, word prediction less intrusive, etc.
so, i got it to work, but i don't believe that the voice search for it works.
i attached a LatinIME.apk to the thread, download it and save it to wherever is convenient. I saved it to my desktop.
1. adb push the LatinIME.apk to /system/app
Code:
adb remount
adb install <where you put your LatinIME.apk>
2. go to Settings> Keyboard and Language and make sure Android Keyboard shows up. There's going to be two different Android Keyboards, nevermind that.
3. find any app or place that has a text input box, like chompSMS or your texting app. open up a thread or start a new message
4. tap and HOLD the empty text box, and select Text Input. there should be three choices: Touch Input, Android Keyboard, and Android Keyboard.
5. it could be different for you, but if you select the first Android Keyboard, you'll encounter a force close. If you chose the second Android Keyboard, it should work.
BASICALLY, pick either of the Android Keyboard choices; one will not force close.
now, you can use the Android keyboard on 2.1!
EDIT: there might be only one Android Keyboard, i had two, but your results may vary. Either way, it should work
EDIT2: if the adb install method returns an unexpected error or a failure, try doing an adb push.
Code:
adb remount
adb push <path of LatinIME.apk> /system/app

that's fail for me... I only have on android keyboard show up, and it just FC's.
Running fresh 2.1b

make sure you downloaded the file i attached.. it says 0 views.

well, i've downloaded it twice and it still says 0 views lol

shows 10 views now....
reported that this works better if you do an install instead of just pushing...
so
Code:
adb install LatinIME.apk

I am using the Eris Leak (Villian3.3) on Hero and on installing I get the following:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
Pushing also fails with a'No space left on device error'. I tried some other LatianIME.apk's that I got out of other 2.1 Roms and had the same troubles.
Is there anything I am missing or could try? I really like the android keyboard over the HTC one!
EDIT: If I remove the HTC keyboard and push the attached I end up with no keyboard at all as the apk is not compatible (I'm guessing). I even tried to using a LatinIME from an 2.1 asop Rom thinking it should work! Nope...

did adb install on 2.0b, said successful installed and nothing show up in touch input after reboot.

Worked great!
Thanks!

Off topic
Do you know the name of the 2.1 lockscreen apk? I was going to rip it from the DarchDroid release but I can't find it.

This doesnt work on 2.0b2. Damn, says "not installed"

update
Here's the link for the source code for LatinIME
If anyone want's to play around with it, maybe we can get it to work.
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME.git;a=tree;hb=HEAD
We're missing some resources that are only available in the open source eclair builds.

+1 for this thread. I followed the adb instructions above and successfully installed the stock keyboard to the fresh 2.0b rom the other day but for whatever reason, doing the same thing to damage's new rom gives me the "install unsucessful/failure dialog mentioned above as well. I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

if you get an install unsuccessful, try an adb push.
instead of adb install <path of LatinIME.apk>, try this
Code:
adb remount
adb push <path of LatinIME.apk> /system/app
at first it was discovered that the install method would work better, but using adb push worked fine for me. test it out anyone?

Same here using DamageControl. I really want this keyboard.

No luck on Damagecontrol Rom,
I've now tried both pushing and installing following the instructions above on the most recent Damagecontrol v.9999999 and have had no luck with either. I get the same [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE] when I try to install and when I push, it shows the file as having been transfered but it doesn't show up when I long press or in my language & keyboard settings. Anyone have any other suggestions? Any and all help is appreciated.

I tried to install this on a HTC Hero with Villain 3.4 (sense 2.1) and it does not work, the apk is there, but it does not show up.
I've also tried the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk (should be nexux one keyboard with voice control), this shows up in the options, but it does not show up in input method, maybe someone has more luck?

Completely excellent! Works fine on Villian3.4. Would prefer the keyboard without the voice search, so I can type a comma without two keypresses... Still beggars can't be choosers!
Thanks very much!
EDIT: Turning voice search off is only an option change away. Perfect! Thanks again.

if you had an older version, be sure to switch to a different keyboard, then remove the old LatinIME.apk before pushing the new one over, otherwise you will get fc's like crazy!
lib:
(you may not need this, but it shouldnt hurt anything (backup instructions below) and if the keyboard doesnt work, then definitely try pushing it)

some have reported that for some reason or another this file downloads as a .txt (although it comes as a .so for me all the time) make sure you rename it, if need be, to libjni_latinime.so before going any further
you will need adb for this method (others have done it without a computer)
youll either want to be in recovery, with /system mounted, or remount it read-only while the phone is up (need s-off for this, thanks unrevoked!)
then push the two downloaded files to your phone: (in some roms it is called GoogleLatinIme.apk, so use that instead of LatinIME.apk if thats how your rom is)
Code:
adb push d2keyboard-signed-fixed4.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
choose your input method like always, and enjoy the multi-touch keyboard on froyo
ok, the screenshots really dont mean much, anyone can use gimp, but w/e thought id put them up there anyway

Can you just install the app like you normally would?
And what's the second file for?
Thanks.

You were right, install the app but it kept force closing. Thanks. I'm using Skyraider 2.2

I can't tell you how excited I was when I pushed this on my phone, not because of how it is a much better keyboard then the stock one. I was excited because I was able to push this system without having to be in recovery. UnrEVOked is amazing!
BTW.. I am having no issues with this so far. Excellent keyboard, good port!

i cant tell you how excited i was when the keyboard finally popped up on my screen!
thanks for the feedback

i'm running sapphire 1.0 and i was able to install with Root explorer.

Works on skyraider 2.2 - no pc required. I did have to copy over the lib file with root explorer. Btw I am typing on this keyboard now and it is amazing at correcting mistakes!

I can't push the .so file to my phone, the keyboard fc's on me when I try to select it in the input method section, so I thought i would try pushing the lib, but it keeps saying the directory doesn't exist.
this is exactly what i type
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
cannot stat: 'libjni_latinime.so' no such file or directory

It downloaded for me as a. Txt extension. I had to change it to .so - check to see if that happened to you
