Hi,
i recently S-OFFed my GFs Desire S (Gingerbread) and flashed a custom rom as it became really really slow.
Opening Whatsapp takes up to 30 seconds some time and the keyboard is responding really slow.
So far i tried the following ROMs:
1) Fallout Evolution 5.0 -> Nice, but really slow too. I think because of HTC Sense
2) MIUI V5 (don't know the exact version atm) Jelly Bean -> She really likes MIUI but it's really slow too, also she misses HTC IME with Digits
3) MIUI V4 ICS 3.2.22 -> Didn't boot (EDIT: Although it's a SONY Panel)
Now my question - as i think MIUI ICS should be the fastest ROM (even if you have thousands of Whatsapp messages):
Is there a MIUI ROM which
- runs ICS
- includes language pack for german (i found an ICS build, but there was no lang pack available)
- works with HTC IME Mod or has the HTC IME Mod included already
- is really the fastest available
?
Thank you very much for your suggestions (based on experiences )!
As for the IME you could download a third party keyboard from appstore.
Rom comparison aren't allowed because everyone is entitled to their own opinion and words like "rom abc is better than zxc" kinda looks very discouraging for any developer.
Dont assume u have a hitachi panel, check out the thread, there are instruction to find out which panel u have.
But sense rom are generally stable, cm/jb roms are hit and miss. But usable for daily usage.
I'm quite sure you have a Sony panel, or else miui v5 would not have booted.
For MIUI v4 it doesn't matter what panel type you have, but you would need to upgrade your hboot first.
Okay, i let her check the diplay vendor and it is a SONY, not a Hitachi. Thanks for the hints.
She tried a couple of 3rd party keyboards but the german dictionary or the handling is really crap on most of them when using the digit keyboard and T9. So HTC IME / HTC IME Mod is really appreciated.
But what i don't understand - why did MIUI 3.2.22 not boot (black screen)? It was the "official" download from here

So can anyone recommend a ICS based MIUI ROM with HTC IME Mod and German language?

Hi All, I've tried the new CM but it was too unstable for me, however, I would love to be able to install the keyboard that comes with it on my stock nexus-s...
Is that possible?
can somebody post the apk (or an update.zip with the relevant apk and libraries)?
Thank you!
Search the Market for Gingerbread Keyboard
Thanks but I already have the nexus s with the gingerbread keyboard, the keyboard in the mod is slightly better since it supports hebrew and allows to move between languages by swiping the spacebar button...
that's the functionality i'm looking for
My friend recommended https://market.android.com/details?id=com.klye.ime.latin , I think that is what I needed
Hi there,
I am new to Android, I have to say I am still not 100% happy with it, I am not satisfied with some features like calls log, sms app and particulary the HTC keypad.
The Android 2.3.3 default keypad looks far better, is there a way to put it back on the Desire S ?
I know other keypads are available on the market, I think I'll go to get rid of the HTC soft, so I my Desire S would look like a Nexus S...
Dunno if it's even possible, and I saw a lot of discussions about S-OFF or S-ON, so I checked on my phone but it's S-ON :/
Thanks for reading
Yes, very easy !
Donwnload the app "Gingerbreag keyboard" in the Market and select it like your keyboard in settings. DONE !
Thank you I'll check it shortly

Well what did you make of it, do you prefer it over the Sense keyboard ? Any screen shots ?
I don't use my Desire S yet, because I don't like the sense menus, like contacts or call manager (this is still a phone afterall)...
I tried to install some alternate solutions but the sense is deeply integrated and you can't get rid of it, adding other tools just slow down the performances.
I am french, and the thing that disturb me the most in the sense keyboard is that the "m" letter is located just near the "n" letter, like on qwerty keyboard, whereas it is should be located next to the "l" letter on azerty keyboards.
So I am now waiting for the S-OFFing tool to be avaible so I can get back to a naked rom.
Install the MultiLing keyboard (market) and you can have a French keyboard layout
There is a bug in all sense4 ROM (saga) except Virtuous Primadonna v1.21.0 Alpha 3 . The bug is you can't type any chinese characters with HTC Touch Input. ZuhYin, CangJie, PinYin and Stroke, they are all not work (except Handwriting, I don't know why). So I ported the Touch Input from the only sense4 ROM that I can type chinese.
I copyed the "virtuous_primadonna-v1.21.0-alpha3.zip\system\app\CIMEXT9.apk" to replace the "PrimoS-v4.0.zip\system\app\CIMEXT9.apk" (prox's new ROM PrimoS-v4.0 ) then signed it and installed it. But the Chinese typing is still not work.
Am I lost something to port? Or the Kernel 3 broken the chinese typing?
The "not work" I said above is it show the IME UI but when you type chinese, nothing out.
How careless I am, I ported the wrong apk, I will port the HTC_IME.apk and test again.
It works~~
Hello,
I recently installed JB (CM10) on my Motorola Defy+. According to me, the new Android keyboard is excellent at guessing words but it makes typing really hard on a 3.7-4" screen.
Is there any way you can keep the original JB keyboard modifying the skin only? (or else is there any keyboard with the same A.I. of the JB one but a different skin?)

Hello guys,
I am using the MIUI V5 Rom since 4 days and I am very happy of it. Very fast, very stable, only minor issues (like Facebook app doesn't connect) but I'm getting frustrated with the Keyboard.
I love the layout and the colors of the Sogou Input Keyboard included in MIUI, but unfortunately, there is no language pack of any kind for it. I can live without word prediction, auto-filling etc. but I cannot live without special characters like "è" "à" "ù" and so on (I am Italian).
After trying many keyboards the one that feels almost like that one is A.I. Keyboard, but, I want the MIUI one!
So here's my request: is it possibile to include special characters in the MIUI Keyboard? How it can be done? I would do it myself, but I don't even know where to start.
Please give some advice.
Thank you!

There is a keyboard called TouchPal keyboard that has a skin of MIUI you should try it, is very good
Thank you, I have tried it and it is a very good keyboard. Now I'm sticking on a mod of AOSP keyboard that is very iPhone style, but quite good.
