New HTC_IME (keyboard) mod by the guys at XDA

You guys have to check out this new HTC keyboard with voice and smilies! Also check out the new settings such as adjustable haptic feedback.....awesome. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc_ime-keyboard-v19/

XDA? I'm not familiar.

LOL!
On topic, I saw this yesterday when the forums were down and found it interesting. Custom smileys ftw.

Have you been able to get it to work. I tried this morning with no success.

working perfectly for me. dont flash the zip. inside the zip, push HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk to /system/app/ and then place the ".htcime" file on the root of your sd. make sure to use the low res zip (the one I posted), not the hi res

But I like Hi-Res
How does this compare to the stock android keyboard?

correct. the hi res zip uses HUGE buttons and only half of the keyboard shows on the screen.

If you push them to system/app it overwites the old one. I also restarted my phone.vI could not get voice to work, but if you long press the microphone it takes you into settings.

Wow, this thing is hot! Also, it went completely under my radar. Thank you for this post, as I might have otherwise missed this for who knows how long.
HTC Keyboard + Voice Input + Community Req. Features =
Single. Greatest. Improvement. To. Android. Phones. (IMHO)

IMO, much, much better than ASOP keyboard.

Just checking, although it may be unrelated, but did you both put the .htcime file in the root of your SD?
It does need to be there.

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I did.

That does nothing; I figured it out though, you'll need Android 1.6 or later for it to work.

This works Greatttt!

[MOD] Enable 270 degree rotation in ROMs without it

With the help of Tibedabeeto and Papa Smurf151 you can now enable 270 degree rotation in roms that don't have it enabled.
- They found out what was needed to enable it, all I did was make an update zip and test it out
Simply boot into recovery and flash the attached zip to replace the framework.jar file. (reboot may, and most likely will take a little bit of time since Framework has been modified)
Then under display > Enable/Check the orientation box
Done
Attached pictures are from Fresh 2.0d, but it was also tested on Infinitefx45's stock rom.

Thannxxx!!

Someone wanna try the framework.jar file from darchdroid to see if it will work on a sense rom
I'm on my phone or I'd do it.
Darchdroid has 360 rotation

I tried that as well, but I couldnt get it to boot :/

I figured. If I have time ill crack open the classes.dex file from his framework and see if I can pull it and put it in a framework for sense

Yeah... I tried doing that earlier to the classes.dex file but I had nooo idea which .smali file to even look at haha. Good luck tho

So this only works on sense roms? or does it work on AOSP roms too?

Not sure. If ur using an aosp rom use the framework.jar from darchdroid. That's the one u want but u can try this one and see

Good job gentlemwn, i'll look into putting this into my new Rom. Should be getting ready for testing by the end of the weekend.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Here's an AOSP version I whipped up. Tested with Buufed 2.0.3
I did not do the modding myself. This is the framework.jar from DarchDroid. I just threw it into a signed zip.

Was there any real mod work done here, or was the framework.jar file just pulled from Flipz's ROM and added to an update zip? If so, you should probably mention this, just sayin, as Flipz if the one who ported this original feature from the Eris leak that had this feature built in.
In terms of actually modding to allow for rotation, a search for 'orientation' in the decompiled files should get you closer to what you are looking for.

agreed man. i just told them where to get it from. No real mod work but just found out where it was kept and put into an update.zip file.
but ill look for the 360 and try to pull it from the aosp and put it into a sense framework.jar file
thanks for the heads up

Tried to flash this on top of the stock odex'd rom from nfinite and waited 15 minutes for boot up, never happened.

nfinites rom is deodexed and did u use the one from the first post or the later one that says 360. cause the 360 one does not work on that rom. the one on the first post is the one that works

I beleive he is using the odex versoin of my rom this is why it didnt work he would need to switch to the deodex versoin first or maybe I'll see what I can do to odex this framework for him.

ah i see. i didnt know you had an odexed version of your rom even out. but yeah that would be the reason why its not working

That's what I thought. Thanks for the responses

After the I flashed this framework file I get a weird glitch (Things get out of place) every time I drag down the notification bar, and the phone is in landscape mode to the right. Is this a bug? Should I wipe Rotate settings in Recovery??

[APP] 1.6 keyboard ported to 2.1+ (ARMv6 needs investigating - ARMv7)

Hi folks,
This is the port of the sexy keyboard you used to use in 1.6
thanks to realunited123 for the efforts making it work on 2.1
thanks to pvyParts for telling that a lib is necessary for this but is missing from 2.2+
go ahead and press the thanks button for them
Thread in general section
DOWNLOAD and flash with ANY recovery as you wish
There you will find a version that supposed to work on ARMv6. Please test it if possible! Thanks!
Your actual libiwnn will be backed up to /system/lib/libiwnn.so.bak when you flash that zip
Looks like the ARMv6 lib is not functional. If you can provide me another one, that would be great!
The lib for ARMv6 is fine. However, the keyboard doesn't work, so logcats would be appreciated. Thank you!
MD5 of ARMv6 libiwinn.so:
Code:
e634eb6dbf632cb477869cedece2d002
See attached images for yourself

Put the apk in System/Apps and set permissions, reboot and it could be OK. Not sure, but should work!
Use rootexplorer to move the apk!

@PlayGunsta
doesn't work
even if I removed the original 2.1 keyboard

Yes I also tried on Froyo, but still... I don't have any idea :/

Does it require any additional libs to work? If that's the case I think it will be hard to port to other roms.
Sent from my X10

thats one thing I don't know, this is why I want someone else who knows smali to do this.
But afaik there are deeper implementations in 1.6 of SE's UXP, so maybe.

I think it's just compiled for an older version of android and so it can't work. I really doubt that it uses any weird libs to work and is just a normal apk. I would be very cheerfull if anyone could port it cause i love the old keyboard too
Sent from my X10i EWJet using XDA App

Howdy guys,
to me this seems like half a app... there is no classes.dex
hence no smali. i not done anything with 1.6 but seams strange to me, maybe there is another apk that goes with it ? or it uses part of android 1.6 as part of itself.
i'll keep looking tho maybe we get lucky.
Pvy.

could that missing part be an .odex file?

LOL I forgot that stock roms are odexed. So yes it is the .odex that is missing.. Can you please post that too ?
Also we will need the framework folder to deodex it. So we need the framework folder , the SemcIME.apk and SemcIME.odex..

that's what I afraid of :/
the motherboard of my PC is short-circuited and is in service, so I can't flash back to 1.6 unless there is a xRec flashable one.

Maybe use xrecov and fix perms
?

Worked on Ericks 2.1 didn't on CM7 so don't know if it will work on custom roms

Awesome *-*
Works like a charm and looks soooooo sexy
And the best thing is that it doesn't conflict with 2.1 SE keyboard
I hope you can make it to work in 2.2+, because this looks so damn good

On 2.3 it FCs on selecting it. Needs a bit of work but i think it can be done

On 2.2.1 it gives me the error it needs an extra lib. libiwnn.so.
Any one have/kno of a 1. 6 deodexed that I can have a look at

[Q] Will Themes from the International One X work for us?

Shouldn't the themes for the International One X work for us as well? Especially since there's a new way of theming that just replaces the graphical stuff and not the actual apk. They say it should work on most devices with same sense versions. We have the same sense version, same resolution same buttons etc. I've tried a few but the developers have a model check and they abort. The one that i found over there that did not do a model check worked fine. Could someone with experience with themes chime in please? thanks!
EDIT. I'm only talking about themes With the villain theming system. It does not replace the apks, only mods them.

VillainTheme System 0.4.0
As a user, you don't need to know much - just flash this zip like a regular zip, and you'll get your theme running. But you should be able to apply themes to any device, ROM, and version of the ROM, without it causing adverse effects. That means less time spent by themers making the original theme, and less time spent modifying it constantly for new versions of ROMs.
Features..
Will modify APKs in a ROM, without changing signatures, and can be used on any ROM where the filenames of themed files is the same.
Should not need updated between versions of a ROM
Zipaligns all APKs before installation
Stores a backup of all files being modified in /cache/vrtheme-backup/
Requires no coding abilities or editing of files - just drag and drop
Can copy "raw" files, though at risk of not working on other devices

What "new theming method" are you talking about?
The only type of themeing I've seen is replacing system files, like SystemUI.apk and stuff.
It that's the case, then no it won't work.

I installed this theme without issues. Was made using villain theme system for the International one X
Quote from changelog of this theme
UPDATE 21 May: After a lot of tweaking and tinkering, have managed to make the theme work with the VillainTheme system. This means that it should now work with any ROM, and shouldn't affect any of the ROM dev's individual tweaks.
The theme modifies the following system apks:
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
com.htc.resources.apk
fusion.apk

Sense 4 is sense 4 as far as I know. I'm sure you can remove the model check form the update script. link one you'd like to install and I'll check it out

That's definitely not a good idea. Most Sense themes contain the SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk. So if the rom your using on your AT&T One X has any mods done to any of those apk's you will loose them and if the rom that the theme was built for has any mods done to those apk's you will more than likely have issues. If there is a specific theme you like, get me the link and I will try to port it over.

No you're right, not a noob. Tiff didn't realize I was talking about the villain theming system.. This system only replaces graphics, not the entire apk. Unfortunately she said she wasn't familiar ( hasn't used it) so that reply is a little misleading. I'll get you that theme I was talking about to try and change the model.

Ok I've found the model check lines in the aroma installer but I have no idea how to disable them.
It LOOKS like if you unzip the theme you can push the vrtheme folder to your sd card on your phone and then run the installtheme.sh from adb shell.

Wouldn't it be a little hard to install a theme while the rom is running? Just thinking it would be A mess changing graphics while active. Unless I misunderstood yooz.
Maybe I could swap the vrtheme folder in the theme that does work, doesn't check the model. That cream theme I posted earlier..mwhat a horrible name lol

/r/ 2.3.6 Keyboard

Hi everyone! If you're not familiarized with the 4chan boards, /r/ means a request.
So, i want to know if anybody knows if there's a way to get the keyboard that we had in Gingerbread 2.3.6
Man, i used to love that keyboard, perfect size, not lag (Yea, i've noticed some lag in the 4.0.4 keyboard), nice color.
I don't want to go back to 2.3.6, but, if it's neccesary to port the app, i'll do it anyway
PS: I found one, it name was 'q-ime.apk' but can't install it. I copied it to system/app, -rw-r-r but, no effect.

I don't think it'll work. If you decompile the apk and look at the manifest, you can see the target sdk which is 7 (2.1) I believe. We're up to 17 now (4.2)
I think there are too many api changes and the apk would have to be recompiled with a newer api to be compatible. Which by then, would probably change it to more like what we have and defeat the purpose.
I will say, that I'm out of my depth here, so don't take my word as gospel, I could be way off. I just know that when apks are built, they usually have a target sdk and a minimum sdk which is what version of android the apk is built for, and the lowest version it will run on.
