[Q] Keyboard fix when porting ROMs - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

I've been trying to port a ROM to the MT4GS, and have yet to figure out how to fix the issue with the keyboard not popping up. I remember seeing somewhere about disabling HW keyboard, I'm trying to port MIUI and it doesn't have this option in the settings. Anyone have any ideas. I searched the forums and haven't found anything yet.

mattlowry explains it well here in the second post

[Q] How to switch between profiles

Hey guys
I know that on android they have preset profiles (Home, Office, Default, etc..), however recently I can't seem to find them. I've look through all the settings menus and still no luck. Can anyone point me to the right direction?
I think I found the answer to my problem - I'm using stock and apparently stock doesn't have this built in, however if you use a custom rom it may offer this feature. Can anyone confirm this?

I am using cm9 beta 10
I turn off the heptic feedback, but why my devices still vibrate whenever I touch the menu button? Any solution everyone?
And then my devices couldnt sent short messages anymore
It really annoying that I must try to resend the sms for many times before the messages sent
I tried using GoSmsPro and using custom smsc
But it still doesnt work, but everytime I put my sim card in another devices, I can send short messages (sms) without any problem

Sounds like a bug with the ROM. Have you tried installing a earlier version of Cyanogenmod, CM7 for example, and seeing if the issue persists?
No I haven't
CM9 is my first custom rom I try

Then I would recommend trying CM7. If the issues disappear, then you know it's an problem with CM9. If they don't then you know it's an problem with your phone. Either way, you'll be in a better situation than you are currently.
I tried CM7 briefly and didn't have the issues you mentioned. Give it a try.

For the phones that maclaw develops for, cm7 is much more stable...
And he has started dev-ing for cm10 (which is better, compared to cm9), why bother with reports for cm9 then...

Well, even I follow that thread, and I do remember seeing a similar solution/problem in the thread itself...
Have you used the search function in the thread?
Yes I already using search function
And the solution is install GoSMS and using custom SMSC
I did and it still not working
While on the other phone my sim would send sms without any problem

Student edition keyboard dock won't work with cyanogenmod 9

Or the USB adapter...
For the record, I searched, I read, I didn't want to have to register to post.
Sorry.
My suspicion was the default Samsung keyboard apk needed to be installed in order for the keyboard to function...but what about the USB adapter, then?
So...alright...what default Samsung crapware needs to be installed in order for them to work?

Anybody?
Bueller?
100 people have seen this'd and I can't even get a "Me too!" or a "I'll take a guess..."?
I'll take a "Here's that Samsung keyboard API, hope that helps!" If anyone's got it.
Come on XDA, don't make me be the **** that cross posts this...

Me too
Not really.
If I had the keyboard I could get it working for you.
Try some apps from the play store. Has to be something that will make it work.
I read somewhere in the forum about option in setting of samsung keyboard to activate or deactivate hard keyboard or hardware keyboard may be this is the option you need to activate but i think you need samsung keyboard first try this link for keyboard but make a nandroid backup first

Tried this. I get an application not installed error every time. Apparently I need to deox the APK and bundle it with some xmls of the stock ROM, or something of that ilk. Not fully sure of what to do there. There really has to be a better solution...

Well, I appreciate the solidarity, if not the unhelpful knowledge that you could fix the problem if it was your problem. Not helpful, but supportive. So to you, I give a hearty thumbs up.:thumbup:

Same Issue
I have the same issue, though I'm using CM10. I think there will be more and more similar posts as more people buy this bundle.

That'd be nice.
How's CM10 treating you? I didn't like the notification bar at the top like my cellphone. I've gotten used to it in bottom drawer. What build are you using?
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
I love CM10, but I went back to stock so I can use the keyboard. Also the IR blaster doesn't work, not that I care about that. If the keyboard problem is resolved, I will def go back to CM10. I used a nightly from around 22 August.
That's why I went back to stock...

AOKP JB ROM now supports Student Edition Keytboards!
Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841177
I have been using this now for a day or so, and it is an awesome ROM. Jelly Bean based.
The keyboard works for the most part, but for right now here is what works and what doesn't:
Internet - Works
Mail - Works
Lock Screen - Works
Volume keys - Works
Menu Key - Works
All numerical and letter keys - Works
Search key - Works
Home - Not Working
App key - Not Working
Brightness keys - Not Working
The devolper adds:
"I also sent this to codeworkx as well, so the CM10 folks should see the keyboard working soon."

Do you happen to know how they managed to get the dock working at all? I would be interested in producing a port-agnostic update zip so that people can move off of stock if they do not like Touchwiz. I know there's some limitation regarding a hardware driver, or something of that ilk, but I don't know the specifics.
I have no idea I'm afraid, but you could check with the developer of AOKP, cmenard.

I have no Idea how this would be done but I don't think it would be that hard to reverse engineer a driver for the keyboard.

[Q] Wi-Fi tethering question...

OK, here it goes.
I have two Infuse phones. One is running 4.1 and the other is on android 4.2. I noticed that probably (it is my guess) due to the merge not being full or complete yet the Wi-Fi tether is not working.
I tried using Foxfi but this app crashes as soon as I enable it. So my question is, has anyone had the same issue or knows a workaround?
I read a lot of posts on the internet regarding this but nothing really related to 4.2 and most of solutions are using an external APP. Should I be just patient and wait for the full merge?
Am I doing to many questions? xD Thanks in advance.

Thetering in 4.2 works fine on my infuse, flash again and do the 3 wipes before and after flash.... Maybe this work for you, maybe not but how knows....

That's exactly what I'm doing right now.
Edit: Don't know what's goin. It says "turning hotspot on", but sits there and never turns it on. :S
I reflashed from scratch twice and this single feature doesn't work, all other things are working perfectly, but the tethering isn't. What's funny is that all over the internet you're going to find similar issues on 4.2, that's why I wonder if it's not related to that not being stable yet on 4.2.

Wifi calling

Can i get wifi calling on one s cm10 stable
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Does it work?
I have tried to find the answer to this as well. Since the last minor update from T-blow it works worse than before.
Is there a CM dev out there that can answer this or someone that is using CM 10.1 stable that can answer this?
Been searching for answer to this as well. Haven't been able to find an answer on these forums or anywhere else. From what I've read simply installing the .apk does nothing. Looks as if its a kernel issue as well. :/
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
The answer is no.
Unfortunately WiFi calling will not work on anything other then stock.
Their implementation of the service is to ingrained into the framework to simply get it working on the new version.
