[MOD]HTC_IME Themed Swype APK

Hello, I have compiled an APK out of the metamorph theme for Swype made by sh0ebox. It is running the latest verison of swype (the June 8th one), and emulates the HTC_IME design.
As of right now I do not have an android phone of my own, so this has not been tested, please try it out and give feedback/screenshots if possible.
Thanks!

Installed, will get you screen shots soon.

I'm not sure, but this says you need root for it... and all it does is FC (even after clean install + reboot).

That is where I got the metamorph files. Which do require root. Compiling it into an apk stops this need. I know it was done for the Eris, but obviously we need higher res. Sadly I can't truly figure out the issue as I don't have a DI of my own (or an android phone at that, ****ing env touch).

wouldnt install with my old version of swype installed, so i uninstalled it, then this one did install. i switched input type to this keyboard and it wont bring up the keyboard, just force closes. rebooted phone, same thing. i like shapewriter better anyways, but i still like trying out the different swype keyboards.
edit- i have an incredible

i ben looking for this, i hope you can fix the FC issue

I'd gladly love to fix it, but I can't do so until I get my incredible, so be patient all

G-Tab: Observation and question about UI

Finally got my hands on my G Tablet today. I must have the newer one that Rushless mentioned...mine appeared to be a finished product right out of the box. Even the TNT UI seemed to work pretty well. I think it's got a little ways to go to be "great", but it was pretty good already.
Anyway, I installed TNT light after about an hour. I wanted the Android Market and wanted to see YouTube working. Rooting and installing the new ROM was easy, but it leaves me wanting a hybrid of the two interfaces. Most ROMS (maybe all ROMS?) are put together with the idea of running on a smartphone. The TNT UI from Viewsonic seemed to be pretty well thought out for use on a Tablet.
So, my question is this: Are there any Market apps that would mimic the homescreen layout of a tablet? I can't see staying with the TNT Lite UI because it's just like having a giant cell phone. Reminds me of those giant calculators you buy as a gag-gift for old people!
I like the flexibility of TNT Lite. Choose my own background, no restrictions for apps, Flash works, etc. But the layout isn't really "tablet-like".
What do you guys suggest for apps? Or, is there a way to recreate the panels that TNT has?
Thanks!

i think it may be nice to just find really nice widgets. you'll be able to build it all how you want and still have a fast and responsive ui

Agreed. But so far I haven't found any Widgets that are the right size for the G Tab. Anyone have any suggestions?

Maybe I should ask this another way (to hopefully get more responses ).
Is there a way to customize the stock TapNTap ROM that comes standard on the G Tab? It would be nice to have their panelled layout AND customize the background images, colors, etc.
I wonder how hard it would be for someone to develop a Froyo based ROM that is specifically made for a 10" tablet. I've done a little development in my past, but only Windows based stuff.

Have you tried Beautiful Widgets?

If you want a "tablet-like" UI. You can try one of those HC roms~

a HC rom is the way to go for the tablet-like UI, but search for keywords like "tablet" when in the android market for tablet supported apps

you really ressurected an 8 month old thread to give a guy advice on the UI? Countless roms and launchers have been developed since then, I sincerely doubt that he's still having issues 8 months later.

[Q] after 2.2 update on captivate look changed

Hello, I just updated my captivate (with much thanks to xda) to froyo 2.2. My question is once the phone restarted why did the look of everything change? I thought this was the new look for the phone but it reverted back to the old look. The screen lock, market and a few other things changed. The settings menu and some of what I've seen in screenshots has changed, but why have somethings. Changed back? Is there a way to get the look of what I first saw? Has anyone seen this or have any idea what I'm talking about? Any help is appreciated.

Possible to use swype in landscape?

So I want to star using a landscape soft keyboard for a bit, as I may be in the early stages of carpal tunnel syndrome. I want to use swype to avoid tapping.is this possible? It looks like sammy locked us out of landscape mode, ignoring that some pripley might enjoy it once in a while.
Edit: I just tried slideIT, and it looks like that may be unable to go into its normal landscape mode as well. Why does samsung insist on locking people out of the native soft keyboard just because we have hard keys? They did it on the epic as well, but my old lg ally still used the soft key in landscape If I didnt open the phone.

Yes, this was disabled by samsung, and therefore would need a very extensive mod/customized rom to have that possibility added. So, to answer your question, no, we can't do that.

WOW thats stupid.*adds to list of reasons to never buy a samsung phone again*

that list is gonna be so big it'll crash your hard drive.

That really sucks, you would think that they would enable it for people like Falkner, (Sorry for your condition) or for easy access, because not everybody like to slide the screen up for something simple... or put it in portrait for the matter.

I found out that GoKeyboard will work in landscape.
However, when I used it it kept trying to auto-correct into chinese or something... anyways, give it a try.
also, GoLauncher is AMAZING with smooth maximus rom

I'm rooted, would smooth maximus allow me to use landscape soft keyboards? Also, I just had a thought and went into the system directory, and under system/usr, I found folders labeled keychars and keylayout, with .bin and .kl files inthem with names like qwerty, keypad, touchkey, and so on. Is it possible that modding one of those files could unlock the landscape keyboard?

Landscape soft keyboards were disabled by Samsung by not building them into the firmware, rather than by the rom. We would need to mod the entire firmware, much more in-depth than anything we have currently to be able to have a landscape soft keyboard.

[REQ] HTC_IME mod for AOSP on qHD devices

I would love to offer any help I can to make this mod a reality. So far, I have gathered the following links that will surely be helpful in making this mod.
There are many users on the different individual rom threads, especially in senseless and aosp/cm9 roms, who are requesting to install HTC_IME (Touch Input), as it is the best input option around for some languages. I can attest firsthand to the fact that the Chinese handwriting input is by far the best handwriting input available for android (HTC is a Taiwanese company), so please don't suggest that everyone who wants htc_ime just go and download some other keyboard. They really did a good job with it, and people want to use it on AOSP!
The work done so far:
Jonas made the mod for gingerbread and devices with lower resolution screens. There is a lot of information about it here and links to downloads. It works on non-htc android devices.

Original HTC_IME mod thread by jonas. The last page or so of the thread is full of posts of people saying please make this mod for ICS/qhd. So far, no one has done it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
This is a HTC_CIME mod for qvga screens. You can see in the screens that it works on MIUI and with multi-language support. This seems like a very good lead, as it may possibly work on our device if scaled up!

A way to get touch input back into virtuous inqusition rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462460&highlight=with+libs
And finally, from our very own device theme forum, there is of course the package done by MichaelM. I think this is going to be our best shot at getting this working in aosp roms. I triead flashing the file "with libs" (should include multi-lang) on Vorbeth's rom, but it just continuously FCs with u select touch input (but touch input does show up!).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384640
As I said, I am willing to learn as much as I need to to help make this mod, I just need someone with a bit more experience than me to offer some help! Can someone please give even a brief overview of how to do this. Do we need to run logcats to find out lib dependencies? I'm sure the whole process can't be all that difficult (well, one can hope!).
Thank you in advance, sensation community!
p.s. if I forgot to give credit to anyone else who has done work on htc_ime mod please forgive me. Post the info in this thread if you find it so we can get this going!

2 things, 1, I would love to see this mod happen, I've gotten used to the ics keyboard but would still love the HTC one. 2, if possible, the latest HTC_IME keyboard would be best in my opinion because I love the swipe gestures that you can turn on and off without actually using the Swype keyboard because the Swype keyboard isn't something I am entirely fond of anymore

latest is usually best! sounds good to me.

I would love to see that... I am starting to like CM9, but the keyboard just isn't good enough no matter which one I try... I will try gimpsta.com to create one and hopefully will have it working

good luck to you, sir!

BUMP! I really wanna see this happen too! But maybe we are looking at it from the wrong angle? I'm no dev, not in the slightest, but the HTC_IME that comes on the stock sensation is already qHD formatted. Would it be possible/easier to port jonasl's mods to the newer HTC_IME rather than trying to scale up the old one and fix it to run on ICS?

a MOD for HTC IME on QHD resolution is out.
Now all we need to do is to put CIME back to it.
