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 :
http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?p=213

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

Installing Chinese Input on JFv1.50 ADP1.5

Source: http://www.sofee.cn/blog/2009/05/01/214/
I figured some of you may be hankering to switch from haykuro's ADP1.5Hr3 to jesusfreke's JFv1.50 ADP1.5, but miss HTC's perfectly working Chinese Input on haykuro's ADP build. Simply installing HTC_CIME.apk gives issues when changing the Chinese input methods to anything other than Handwriting, such as PinYin. This is because you need the dependent libraries in addition to HTC_CIME.apk!
Here's how to do it:
1. Download HTC_CIME.apk and the dependent libraries at http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=fd121d39fa751465c2b435915e8821d7e04e75f6e8ebb871
2. Extract to a folder somewhere
3. Run the following adb code in a command window opened at the directory where the files were extracted:
Code:
adb remount
adb push lib/libcimet9.so /system/lib/libcimet9.so
adb push lib/libimezi.so /system/lib/libimezi.so
adb push lib/libpphwr.so /system/lib/libpphwr.so
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatPYP_CN.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatPYP_CN.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatPYS_CN.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatPYS_CN.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_CN.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_CN.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_HK.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_HK.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_TW.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_TW.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatZYP_TW.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZYP_TW.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatZYS_TW.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZYS_TW.z8d
adb install HTC_CIME.apk
4. Go to Settings > Locale & text > Check 'TouchInput Chinese'
5. ???
6. PROFIT!!!
Awesome tip. Thanks for sharing.
God,there are so many files need to add into the system area...
I have not try the Google input method yet.. Is it ok to install without any modification?
thanks will try this when i get home.
Would you by any chance know how to get the HTC TouchInput working? (The non-Chinese one). When I try to install the apk for it onto 1.5, it forcecloses every 10 seconds.
Awesome one. Your help is much appreciated.

Nope, I have never tried any build with that, sorry.
Oh BTW there is one thing I've notice with the HTC-CIME.apk in JF1.5.
If I call out the handwriting interface in horizontal layout, the TouchInput will crash.
Does any buddy meet this problem too? I'm now trying very hard not to write Chinese in horizontal layout now.

Just tried it - facing the same issue. I didn't notice this before since I was using PinYin input all the time.
Does this problem occur on haykuro's ADP1.5Hr3?
lol just load up HTC_CIME.apk via app installer and you have chinese touch input, no need for all those steps...

Yeah, I've been trying to do this too, but IDK what's wrong...
the normal key.apk forcecloses, but the chinese touchinput works (and it has everything key.apk has), so I'm just using the english part of the chinese one
When I press the up-right arrow in the handwriting input screen, it force-closed and will force-close everytime until I uninstalled it. Anyone experienced the same?
if you want to use it just for typing, just load htc_CIME.apk thats what i did, typing is flawless even in landscape, im not Chinese so i don't draw in, tho if they had an english version thatd be awesome.
Thank you!!!!!!

I have no problems opening and using handwriting layout in horizontal. I am running JF ADP1.5 with CIME+libraries from Haykuro 1.5r3. I actually diffed the system folders of JF1.5 and Hr3 myself before I discovered this thread (who needs search when you can just reinvent the wheel, right?) Unlike the OP, I actually also had some additional z8d files in /system/lib. They are not identical to the ones in /system/lib/zi , so they might be important. Here are the steps I carried out (for windows):
Code:
adb push \lib\libimezi.so /system/lib/libimezi.so
adb push \lib\libpphwr.so /system/lib/libpphwr.so
adb push \lib\Zi8DatPYP_CN.z8d /system/lib/Zi8DatPYP_CN.z8d

iWnnIME Japanese IME is OUT! [2009-06-18]

iWnnIME, Japanese IME, comes from Google Developer Day 2009 in Japan on 6th Jun 2009.
It works on G1 too
Require:
1. root
2. adb
How to install:
1. Type:
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
on Terminal Emulator or adb shell as root.
2. unzip iWnnIME.zip
3. Run install.bat from your computer.
TODO:
1. pack it to update.zip
Download:
http://drop.io/iwnnime
FYI:
I tested on CRB43-Mikhaelv1.5.2(US).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522874
any request?
Is this the JIME used in the ntt docomo Magic?
By the way for those who are thinking about installing this IME, it requires 11.4MByte of /system. Make sure you have enough space.
Also, can we get some screenshots?
Screenshots.
Here are some screenshots =]
Comes preinstalled with skins, and english keyboard is T9 style. Works very well. Please note that if you install this using adb, dont forget to use ADB REMOUNT, then run the .bat file.
Packaged update.zip installer. 11.4MByte of /system required! Check with df before using. Also requires testkeys to be installed (in other words you need to be "rooted")

Oh that is a VERY handy tip. Even though i've memorized the kanas, I still prefer to use alphabetic input. They even have a keyboard for fixed-width alphabet! <insert Japanese asciicats here>

Highly unlikely, unless OMRON soft do it themselves.
Can you use the physical dream keyboard with this ime? <---Yes you can.
In order for it to work, you need to bring up the touch screen keyboard,
select romanji-kana input (the あ on the 文字 buton on the bottom left)
Slide open the physical keyboard
****touch the text field**** it will not work otherwise. An あ will show up in the upper left of the notification bar
Then type away.
i have only tried this on atk notepad, and sms so far.
P.S.
THANKS GUYS
I have been waiting for this for a long time.

It says bad signature or something along those lines? What Android build are you using? The update is signed with testkeys so it will only work on JF, haykuro, dude, etc. Won't work on official build. If you're still getting errors, try re-downloading the zip file. I have personally flashed it myself so I can guarantee that it works.
By the way, you must MUST verify you have enough space before installing if you are gonna use the update.zip because I don't think the recovery tool will throw an error if you run out of space. It just silently fails (i think).

It didn't even say that, just "bad". If it was "bad signature" then I would have half comprehended it. I'm using Ravenge's Rogers Mod, so it is definitely rooted. Strangely enough though, I tried again this morning to see what the actual words of the error were, and it worked. To an extent.
Now I can select the IME, but if I try going to its settings it does nothing, and when I try typing it just comes out normal. Closing the keyboard and touching the screen brings up nothing: no keyboard or anything...
Any help would be appreciated... If its unsolvable though, would I be right in assuming if I was to reflash the ROM I'm using, it would regain all the /system space lost through flashing the unusable IME?

If you type df in Terminal Emu how much space do you have left in /system?
You can always reclaim all the space taken up by removing the files manually-- no need to reflash. Just remount /system as rw and then rm the applicable files from /system/lib and /system/app

Droid X Multitouch KB for Eclair ROMs

Here's a working kb that I know works for eclair roms (more specifically, it works for me on Darchdroid 2.7 (an AOSP ROM). If anyone is able to get this to work okay using sense roms, that's great, otherwise, sorry.
Just put the file into u'r c:\ folder and push it via adb
Code:
adb push c:\DroidXIME.apk /system/app/
I just added the 'q-ime.apk' file as well. This file is similar to the DroidXIME.apk file, but, in my opinion, it seems to have better response than the droidxime.apk file. It also fixes a problem with displaying a correct symbol in the characters section of the kb.
Enjoy
I installed it via Astro manager, but even though it shows it's installed, I cannot find any settings to assign it as the default keyboard. Would it have anything to do with it being the latin keyboard? I do see the settings for "multitouch keyboard" but that's it. Also is there any visual difference between this one and the stock keyboard?
It'll look the same or similar to the stock KB. The multitouch is this KB

I basically posted this for someone on IRC so they could get the apk easily. Maybe it's only functional for AOSP roms... dunno

Use it like a normal computer keyboard ie: hold down the 'shift' key while you push another key to make it a capital, then release and keep typing - works great!

use RootExplorer (find an apk) and use that..its better/easier than using a terminal emulator, plus, u dont need to remember/copy all those commands
does this keyboard have the spacebar bug where it only responds to the top of the button

THIS HAS KNOWN ISSUES CAUSING THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD TO DO WEIRD STUFF ON THE DROID 1!!!!
something with the alt key not working correctly, i do not have a moto droid, so thats making it very tough to troubleshoot anything. anyone who does and wants to test some things, pm me, probably have some time this weekend to look at it
Bugless Beast 4 (moto droid)
Ultimate Droid Extreme Froyo 6.00 (moto droid?)
CM6 (nexus 1)
modaco r21 (nexus 1)
DeFrost 2.6a (desire)
BUGS:
- &amp on one of the keys, more of an annoyance than anything, will fix eventually fixed!
- crap, another &amp error, when holding the . key...fix coming eventually... fixed!
- < symbol fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- vibrates too lightly fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- others?
Voice input works too!
Back up your stock keyboard first:
Code:
adb shell cp /system/app/LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk.bak
adb shell cp /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so.bak
FLASH (EASY) METHOD:
flash this from your recovery or from rom manager:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9yawjq9weakbl9y
Geo411m has made a black colored one. details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7684399&postcount=211
install the same as the easy way, otherwise download it and pull the apk out of it and install it with the manual method
ENJOY!
MANUAL (OLD) METHOD:
get both of these files:
apk:
fixed4: http://www.mediafire.com/?7q0406gqazq8rer
(harder vibrate, < symbol fix)
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)
http://www.mediafire.com/?awy84cz5t8ngx49
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
thanks to LegionTHEFecalExcretion for the system dump!

Works on BB v.4 for the Droid and this is sick!! Thanks so much.
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!

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

Gingerbread Keyboard for GS?

I would LOVE this keyboard for my G1. I am going to give porting it a shot, but I'm inexperienced, so I was wondering if anyone else is giving it a go. Leave a comment if you're already doing this, or if you have tips for me. Thanks!
first take it from the hero rom so you don't need to convert hdpi to mdpi

Well it doesnt for me.
Perhaps a logcat? Do you have Swype installed? Any other keyboard modifications already installed?
This file replaces "libjni_latinime.so" in /system/lib
and
"LatinIME.apk" in /system/app
Thats it.

yeah i remember the same file is missing in my case...LatinIME.apk
The port requires Android 2.2 Froyo.
Works on CM6.1. Installed on G1 and on 32A Magic. Just use the one referenced by Ohsaka.
I think it's better than Froyo stock keyboard. I switch sometimes, so this is good.

using on tmo ota froyo doesnt work.. i got froyo but keyboard FC's
in the next MIUIcy update you will find
take it from my sig. just flash it via recovery.
delsadj:
i wouldnt recommend. somehow a tiny bit laggy.
if you get an error when flashing via recovery do this:
-extract zip
-put .apk in system/app/
-put .so in the lib folder (exact directory found in the zip)
-reboot
-fix_permissions
-enjoy
i have it on mt3g port and i t is now my standart it detects keypresses way more accurate than stock 2.2
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA App
nah i dont have swype and i tried through recovery, as if normal but then it FCs
how do you get the logcat? sorry for the noobish quesion
I miss the dedicated .com/net/org button
