I have looked and cannot find a solution.
I am a newb when it comes to this stuff.
Is their anyway to remove the HTC keyboard or touch input and use the standard android keyboard. I like the keyboard but it is too laggy.
I would prefer an .apk of the standard keyboard, But I am sure it won't let you install, but rather open up the HTC keyboard.
I think I can plug in and enable USB debugging, and then adb shell, rm touch input,
reboot?
Can someone please help me through this.
Partially correct.
it would be
adb remount
adb shell
cd system
cd app
rm HTC_IME.apk
rm Clicker.apk
reboot
thanks for the hep, really appreciate it, Is their anyway to reinstall the HTC ime touch input apk. that would basically reinstall the htc keyboard over the android one, if I wanted to?
Yes, there is.
Before you do the command I posted above, do this:
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/HTC_IME.apk C:\HTC_IME.apk
adb pull /system/app/Clicker.apk C:\Clicker.apk
That will backup those files to your C:\ directory.

flash from recovery then after boot long press an input field and change the input method. it will install 2 "android keyboard"s one is stock one is with voice
Make sure you do what andyriot posted above before removing the HTC keyboard... otherwise you'll be keyboardless until you get the new one flashed

I'm sure i'm not the only one that has noticed that you can't update terminal emulator with modded firmware, i did a mild look through the searches, and didn't find what i was looking for, is there a means to update this, i've tried takeing it out of white list and then updating, but no go... Not that its a big deal TE works, its just an annoying knawing thing in the back of my mind, knowing there is an update on the market, and i can't have it
Delete the terminal app in terminal by
su
cd /system/app
ls
them find the app that starts with com. something
type rm -> name of the app
update it in market

gives me a read only error, i have to chmod it first right? have no clue how to do that right now, have to look it up. Thanks for pointing me to the proper file though
It'd probably be best to use adb.exe (available in the android SDK) to remove terminal emulator rather than using terminal emulator.
Also, in order to change anything in the /system partition, you need to remount it as read/write.
With adb this is easy:
Make sure your android has debug mode enabled (which I think is by default in all JF releases)
Hook it up to your computer with the USB cable
Open up a command prompt in windows (or whatever other OS you're using that has the Android SDK) and go to the tools directory in the SDK
Type "adb devices" to make sure adb sees your phone, if it doesn't, well uh...it's not working right, and you'll have to figure out why
Type "adb remount" to remount the /system partition as read-write
Type "adb shell" this will give you shell access to your G1, from there you can delete stuff from the /system partition. I think you might also be able to use "adb uninstall" but I don't know if that works for the /system/app folder.
thanks for the info TM will play with the sdk tools and see what i can do, they have been giving me a headache on linux, but then i haven't played with linux in about 6 years.. its come along way. Thanks again for the info wait 2 secs to reload the image
I've noticed that, too. I don't see a reason why I need to update TE, the one I have works just fine.
here your answer in the link below
this will allow you to remove the terminal and install the new one from market

Then:
in windows:
adb pull /system/usr/keychars/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
This backups your existing keylayout.
Then: (you must have the downloaded (unzipped!) file on C: !!)
cd C:\
adb remount
adb push trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin /sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
adb shell
cd /sdcard
dd if=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=/system/usr/keychars/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
reboot
Your device should reboot now and TADA you have fully working QWERTZ!
Please correct my commands if they are wrong.
Disclaimer:
You know this..
can you give me codes to work with the terminal (I don't use sdk -ADB)
And , does it fixes all other stuff to like + - :.... or just swap Z and Y.
(I need that fix so much)
Thanks
Copy the file to your sdcard then:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars
i think it fixes all including + etc..
ok did it, typing reboot....
g1 htc booting
waiting.....
OMG thanks a million....... close this thread or just move it to (make one with USEFULL THINGS).... will help other people in europe.
Thanks again.

Hi!
This only works reliably with ROMs with the Google virtual keyboard. With the HTC one (which function-wise is better), the hardkeyboard eventually switches back and forth from qwertz to qwerty and back.
Is there a solution for that issue?
Greets
It's because of the Hardwarekeyboardcorrection.
You can try to deactivate it in Settings/Locale Settings/Touch Input/...

Yeah, that's my experience as well that it is due to the hardware keyboard correction.
However, even when I switch that off (correction and completion switched off), this strange behavior of switching back and forth continues :-(.
Is there a solution to this?
Or alternatively how can I install the Google IME on a HTC build as a workaround?
Just pushing GoogleIME.apk doesn't help unfortunately.
I am on fresh 1.1 but i dont like the clear lockscreen. Is there a way i can change it??
yes try looking
just push this to system/app
you can use the fresh kitchen or adb
btw you can take apps out of any rom.zip on your computer, that's where i got this
Thank You thedudejdog it worked perferct
You can take the HtcLockscreen.apk out of the /system/app dir of any ROM you like to get that rom's lockscreen going.

am a newly rooted hero owner. read/re-read/followed the steps to do it on this forum and am grateful to those who lent their knowledge/expertise.
want to have the original hero lockscreen and downloaded this HtcLockScreen.apk file.
i searched online to see if i could find instructions to push this but can't seem to figure it out.
i've done the following:
- copied HtcLockScreen.apk to the root of my sd card.
- opened a command prompt
- got to "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>"
from here am i supposed to type:
- "adb shell"
- "su"
'cause i think to push this is the command, right:
- "push /sdcard/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/"?
help please!
thank you.
ok, put the file that you want to push in your tools directory of the sdk (c:\sdk\tools) these are the commands to push the file using adb
make sure you are in the command prompt and in your android sdk/tools directory.
you can copy/paste these one line at a time
i always do a
Code:
adb devices
first just to make sure adb sees your phone. if your phone shows up then continue
then mount system read/write
Code:
adb remount
then push the new lockscreen (this will overwrite the one that is there now)
Code:
adb push HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app
then close the cmd prompt window
Code:
exit
or you can use the fresh kitchen for a nice gui that does all the dirty work for you.
then reboot and there ya go, new lockscreen (or whatever)
i've never used the shell to push files, but i assume those commands that you listed should work for that, but you have to remount the filesystem first.
I thought I saw on here a little while back that showed you how to remove just the image from the lockscreen so all you have is the grey bar. Does anyone know where that is because I thought that that was kinda cool.

What files do you have exactly? framework-res.apk? Phonebook.apk? Phone.apk
This thread as given above is taken that you have ADB installed on your computer.

Not sure if ADB is required but thats the only method I know of. A step by step guide (Might want to double check with advanced users)
1) Install ADB and set the environment variables, etc.
2) Go to the folder (Should be c:/android-sdk-windows/tools) and open adb.exe (If it flashes and auto closes, open up cmd [Start>Run>cmd] and drag the adb.exe into the cmd and press enter)
3) Put Phone In Debugging Mode Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
In ADB, type these commands
*Note that the commands are case sensitive*
Pull the files you are about to replace with the following commands:
cd c:/anrdroid-sdk-windows/tools
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-resk.apk
adb pull /system/app/Phonebook.apk
adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk
4) Now framework-res.apk, Phonebook.apk, and Phone.apk should be in your tools folder where your adb.exe is. Put these files somewhere safe.
5) Now drag your new framework-res.apk, Phonebook.apk, and Phone.apk into the tools folder.
6) Go back to adb and type the following command:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
7) Now these commands will move your new theme files to the sdcard:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb push Phonebook.apk /sdcard/Phonebook.apk
adb push Phone.apk /sdcard/Phone.apk
8) Now these commands will install the new theme files in the sd card from the previous step:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Phonebook.apk of=/system/app/Phonebook.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Phone.apk of=/system/app/Phone.apk
9) Now your phone will restart (If not, manually restart) and your theme should be installed.

thanks a lot man ... you are the best i'll try that and report back but any way you still the best.....

why every time i put the mount command it tells me "the device not found"
and the pull commands don't seems to work
i tried adb devices command but it seems it doesnt found my device
Mmm...maybe its sound dumb, but I'm a noob in this. How do you change the battery icon? Thx

You pull the framework-res.apk file and open it with 7-zip. Inside should be some folders and there should be a folder (forgot which one) with a bunch of pngs. Replace the battery icons with desired ones.

I have successfully rooted my HTC Wildfire S but now I am trying to reinstall HTC Mail after deleting it in error!
I am using the adb command to copy files from my sd card to the system folder on the ROM e.g. adb push/sdcard/Mail.* /system/app. However, when I press the enter key I just get a list of the adb commands and switches and it doesn't copy the files across.
Any ideas as to why this may be happening? My Android Debug version is 1.0.26
If I could just download the HTC Mail app and install as usual that would of course be preferable but I think it's only available as a factory install. I've tried the K9 mail app but I have a feeling there is a connection timeout bug that means it doesn't disconnect from the POP mail server for ages after it's 'pulled' messages. I've had many senders complain they have message failed errors when they try to send to me but they haven't had them since I uninstalled K9 and started using HTC Mail. And in case you're wondering, I started using K9 because the old version of HTC mail would not save my SMTP settings but the new version is OK.
Thanks for any help.

Looks like you've used the wrong command.
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
Obviously swap framework-res for your apps name.
adb command fails
Thanks XperienceD. Will try your syntax later.

The syntax you suggest is not compatible with the adb I'm running i.e. dd is not a vaild switch. I'm trying to use adb to reinstall an app to an HTC Wildfire S.
From what I've read elsewhere the syntax I used should work but doesn't...

Did you start by mounting the system - adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system ?
