[For Devs] HTC Keyboard with trace, apk inside - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

Came across an HTC_IME apk with trace and was wondering if anyone wanted to have a go and get this working on our evo's. I pushed it onto mine only to get fc's over and over. Running Synergy RLS1 if that has anything to do with anything
apk link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11419515/HTC_IME.apk

just curious, did you have the HTC ime installed prior to trying this trace version? sorry, but not familiar with your rom, whether or not it uses htc's stock kb...

Hi, just wondering if it would be possible to remove the direction arrows on the trace keyboard. seems like a wast of space to me?

[Theme Dev] Question about two files

Hi,
I did my first own theme for Nexus, did many for Hero before.
But just I've got a question...
I'm using "services.jar" and "framework-res.apk"
could anybody explain me please, whats in these two files along to the icons?
Is it possible that nexus crash or runs slower with modified icons in it?
I want to use my theme every time, but don't know if google (or cyanogen, modaco) changes something in this two files.
Anybody know?

REQ [MetaMorph]: Swype / Files inside

Hi,
i never did a Morph myself, probably i will try it later today. If someone is a bit more experienced he'll do that in a few minutes i think.
May someone be so kind and do the morphs for me (and tell me which file he needs?).
I have different Keyboard Layout styles here for swype (original, black/red, htc style, galaxy syle, original brown style).
I put them in the correct folders like com.swype.android.inputmethod/assets/keyboards. There are only some png's which have to be replaced.
They should work with every version / mod.
A sample morph can be found here (but it is for the old Metamorph version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6753575&postcount=102
The Morphs include QWERTY AND QWERTZ Layout.
Credits will be added soon, i have to look for myself from where i got this. I modified the black QWERTZ and the brown original style.
Thanks Sho3box for the Black Theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2308049

second step would be adding different tracer and corresponding glow colors so everyone can mix that and do his favorite version!
nice!
thanks
PS: Yeah a metamorph would be great.
no metamorphers here?
Have you tried editing en resigning the latest beta release?
Manually and autosigning it both made it crash in my case.
Thx and greets
Yes works great for me but I am signing manually (ok i see you tried both..)
what do you edit exactly?

I tried signing my own apk yesterday and I can't figure it out on my mac. There isn't much support online for Mac users. Were you able to make an HTC theme for Swype yet, or did someone? I don't need anything fancy just the HTC style keyboard in either a MM or apk. I think someone posted the Morph file in another thread but it's for the old version of MM which I can't find one that works on my N1. Let me know if you have anything modded already that could help me out or even the old version of MM would work I suppose with the other HTC style keyboard previously posted.
Thanks!
I'm sorry but I guess my problem wasn't the signing because the install went fine, it's just that when running swype it crashed instantly thus making it useless...
maybe I need to try it with an earlier version...
Could anyone who can confirm a successful mod please post the version number in here?
Thanks
wow id love that black swype with a red trace line for my evo..

maybe this will help..i have no idea how to do it.. got confused just reading it but im really hoping someone knows how to do it
i researched and came up with this..i hope it helps.. if it doesn't i cant say i didnt try..
http://droidthings.freeiz.com/?page_id=350
wow i really like those themes
I did a Morph and it was processed properly but afterwards Swype wasn't present anymore to choose as input method.
I checked this twice, on internal and external memory.
But both times same result, swype isn't chooseable anymore
So I had to reinstal it again and then all is fien again.
How do you install this?

[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

Anyone have skins for a working swype?

I am currently running an older version, just wondering if anyone has any?
I would look into Metamorph themes for swype. These themes are independent of swype version, so when a new one rolls out or your swype expires, you simply reapply the metamorph theme to the new working swype.
Ok, just how does that metamorph work? Done a little reading on it and am slightly(ok maybe a lil more than that) confused?
From what I understand, Metamorph simply replaces the images that are used as keyboard layouts and buttons with a custom one made by a metamorpher.
So, for swype it would look for a file /system/app/Swype.apk file and replace the necessary images with a different one. It doesn't touch the lib/core files.
I would post some links, but I can't because of my noobness.
I forgot to mention earlier that this requires S-OFF.
You are speaking Swaheali to me right now...I read something about some superuser or something, maybe there is a step by step somewhere? the v1.61 that i am running is ugly as well...um...you know. So you need that and metamorph to make the switch? hmmmm....

AOSP T9 Sense Dialer??? - Modded HI-APK Dialer

An ugly duckling perhaps...
I have moded the HIAPK teams sense-like dialler to make it look as much like stock sense as I can, I even borrowed the HTC dialler icon.
It's small (about 1.1MB for me), fast, simple, and now it looks good too. What more could you ask for? You've probably got room in your system partition for it seeing as how I managed to squash it into oxygen with oxygen hboot.
The Zip is not signed so you'll have to push it onto the phone. If somebody else could sign it or make a flashable zip for those that can't that'd be great. I tried using sign apk but it did't work and I don't have time to figure it out.
It's not perfect! I've gotten rid of the grey banding on the list successfully. Would have like to change the colour instead of having it all white.
Also, the app uses 1 png for all the buttons so the large ones are stretched. If somebody else knows how to change the xmls so we can add another png for the big buttons we can make it look nice and sharp!
Credit to Hi apk team!
Enjoy!
while we're on the htc theme... HTC SWYPE KEYBOARD
here the link to my HTC swype skins. They're very authentic looking indeed I'm sure you'll agree. Qwerty only at the moment until somebody else contributes.
