Would love to post it. but I can't find the original theme that had the IME. I can't remember the name. and I can't remember if its in here or the Dream Theme forum.
edit : found the original thread with the transparent HTC_IME
link
its the 8th picture in the first post.
thing is, i am not sure if its based on the original HTC_IME (that requires htc framework files) or the one modified to run on its own (like the one i linked to in my OP).

I have this one, its stock with 50% opacity added to the background. If you need it completely transparent I can do that for you just let me know.

- download astro file manager from the market
- put a copy of htc_ime.apk on your sd card
- select this file in astro, then select app manager
- press the 'uninstall' button
- select the htc_ime.apk file again
- this time, install it
this will remove the existing version which is causing the conflict and let you reinstall the new themed version.

for CM 4.2.3.1 just push the apk to /system/app/ using adb. reboot and you're done

New Facebook App 1.1.2 on Cyan 4.2.8 Install error!

Getting
"Package file was not signed correctly"
Is this because i had a non market version of facebook installed before?

Yes. Uninstall and try again.

I am also getting an install error.
I have tried to uninstall the existing 1.1.1 version using the Expsetup but still won't install.
I'm thinking that clearing all associated data for facebook would help but don't know the directories etc that I would need to delete.

That did it, thanks!

Where to get Facebook 1.1.2?

I unistalled V1.1.1 but still cant install new version 1.1.2!!! went to aplication manager and found a file that says com.facebook.katana but doesnt let me do anything with it.
Any ideas?

If you're having problems uninstalling, that's because you used an update.zip and it is installed in the system/app folder. You have to use terminal or adb to mount the folder as rw to remove it.
My question, though, is it better than the one from droid? Cuz if not then I don't want to waste my time updating...

Android Market.

Anyone mind upping the APK? Removed all traces of FB from my phone and packages.xml and it still refuses to install.

Most importantly would be to ask how do you get your system back to normal so you can install updates later.
I know at one time I messed with my prop file to install the Nav at one time. I wonder if that could be a problem. I removed the Facebook app, but it told me it wasn't compatable so I wonder if it that prop file is affecting anything.

Put the original build.trout.prop file back in the /system folder. Deleted the old Sholes/droid version via the market and it installed without a hitch.
It doesn't seem to like a modified prop file.
To me personally it looks just like the droids version except the white bar at the top is fixed.
Heres the line you want to change back.
ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.6/DRC83/14721:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
or upload this buid.trout.prop file to your /system folder. Just drop the .txt from the end.
EDIT.
After fighting a bit with the prop file I ended up just reflashing the rom that I originally installed which over wrote the modded prop file. Now I'm back to the orginal file and then I used the APK provided here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5147596&postcount=16
After that I uninstalled it via the market and reinstalled it now I'm back to where I should be.
So you could use that stock prop file, but after 5 or so tries it was sorta mixed results.

Anyone got the apk? I tried the site posted above but nothing happened.

Greatly appreciated.. This will help out many.

what commands in terminal to mount the folder as rw to remove it?
i used a script to switch my build.trout, but i used the script to switch back to the old one and i can't get FB to install. i never did anything to mod these for the nav and FB a few weeks ago.

how do you skin the default keyboard?

i know some themes change it, but i like the theme i have already. i just want to change the keyboard to a more pleasant look. is there somewhere i can find different ones to download or flash onto my rom? i don't want to use betterkeyboard app, etc.

Here You Go Buddy.
Well i skinned the stock keyboard pretty easily with a few easy techniques.
First check out my theme Ivory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612315 To see if that's what you want. I hope your familiar with themeing or this might be confsing.
-I took the latinIME.apk from cyanogens last rom
-Opened it as a zip and navigated to the res drawable folders
-downloaded the better keyboard skins i wanted (simple black and green)
-pulled the different drawable files from the betterkeyboard apps and replaced the stock cyanogen ones
-resigned apk and flashed inside my theme

haha thats EXACTLY what i tried to do yesterday night! except i got the acore force close thing, & im sure it's because i didn't sign it first. i had an easy auto-sign program but i deleted it a few days ago :| & now i can't find it on here anymore!

haha what are the odds well at least your on the right track!

I would go for editing HTC_IME.apk, just a personal preference i guess, but i think its better, and have played around with editing it a bit myself, and its pretty easy, but you need to be able to do *.9.png files.

Im not sure, are you using stricstons signing tool? how are you flashing it?

What ROM are you trying it on? The new CM ROMs the keyboard is now in the LatinIME.apk instead of the framework-res.apk, but if you are using one of the other ROMs, that may not be the case.

i dont think so, im using a modded apk signing tool i found on here, i lost the link.
and im doing
cp /sdcard/LatinIME.apk(the one i made) /system/app
in terminal emulator.
then after that the keyboard just dissappears. if i restart after that, the keyboard never shows up. if i just try to go back, i get acore force close repeatedly.

yea i know, im on cyanogen's latest.

You may want to try getting Stericson's signing tool. If it is disappearing signing could be the main issue. Since you edit it on your PC, why don't you just push it through adb after signing instead of copying it to your sd and then having to use the terminal?

the thing is though that i used the same signing tool to edit a graphic on a different app & it worked just fine.
i don't have/really know what adb OR sdk is & terminal is the easiest way i know how to do it. i mean does it really make a difference?

its been confirmed that it's not my signing tool because i used the same tool to edit a different app, a battery widget i downloaded from the market. & it worked fine. anyone else can help me?

lets get this working buddy,
Alrighty maybe try flashing the keyboard in an update.zip, just put the latinIME.apk into a folder named app. Then copy a meta inf folder from another theme download, you can use mine. Then send that to a compressed folder, resign and try to flash it. I would try that, I have never had good luck pushing with adb and pulling stuff, I stick with the easy way

yesssss i finally got it to work! it turns out i didnt need the signing tool at all. i took the latinime.apk file from a theme with a skinned keyboard, then i ONLY replaced the keyboard png's, and kept the meta-inf how it was. thanks guys for trying to help

also getting a failed error when trying to install. whats the deal?

I had issues with cwm failing to up date as well. So after some google fu I managed to get a working install.
1. Download the file found in this thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864033
2. Power down and reboot into cwm.
3. Select mounts and storage and then select mount system.
4. Install zip from sd and select the zip from step one.
5. Reboot and enjoy.
6. In settings>language&keyboard there should now be an option for android keyboard. Open the browser and long press the url bar. You should get a popup allowing you to select the android keyboard.

Does this "IMPORTANT NOTE: this ZIP file is a ClockWork Recovery update file ==> DO NOT USE IT !!! (it will remove your system odex files) Just unzip and grab the APK and SO files." apply to the G-Tablet too? That thread talks about SO files and stuff too. I take it nothing bad happened when you flashed it?

At first I tried the install with just the apk and so files and it didn't work for me.
As far as .Odex files I haven't seen any at all in the root folder.
So far I haven't had any fc's or issues what so ever.

I followed wingman_214s instructions and it worked perfect for me. No issues so far.

Ok. I'll take the plunge. Thanks.
EDIT: Took the plunge. Typing on it now and liking it so far. Thanks for the help.

I followed the instructions above ands while I can see the android keyboard under settings, clicking on the URL space on my browser only pops up the starndard TnT keyboard. How long do I need to engage the URL space? I would like to test it.

Try the google search bar. Just press and hold you should get a pop up. Select "input method" the android keyboard should be an option.

i'm curious as to why people prefer this keyboard over the stock TnT keyboard. the TnT has bigger keys. the gingerbread has these small little "half" keys. annoying to type on. or do other roms not have that keyboard?

Can't get metamorph to work.

I installed Metamorph to install Darknessv2.5 theme. But whenever i run it I get an error saying "Some Files could not be extracted and set up. Please make sure you have enough free space in /system.". Attached is a screenshot.
I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this one.

Dumb question I know but are you using the cwm flashable darkness file?
Other than that try uninstalling and reinstalling metamorph. It normally does give errors but only the first time you run the app in ntt experience

Just tried and nope, same error again.
Thanks anyway tho.

Most of the time its duet o MetaMorph not extracting the zip correctly. Easiest way to fix it is you will have a folder called Android Themes under your SDCard.
Just unzip the MetaMorph on your desktop and copy the <theme name> Folder into that one on your SDCard and the error should go away.

What do you mean with "unzip the MetaMorph"? I made a folder called "Android Themes" on my sdcard and moved the theme zip in there. Still doesn't works, it's giving me the same error and I have like a 100MB free on /system.

I think he is saying to extract the fileon your computer and then move it to the themes folder on your phone

Well, the thing is Metamorph won't even run. It gives me the error when it does the initial check.

What rom are you running? I have not had any trouble with metamorph aside from the normal first install errors...always works fine the second time it is opened except for one rom I was using a while ago that also had other issues.

Yup never had an issue using MetaMorph on any ROM I've had.
And I had requested that you take the metamorph.zip (the theme) and unzip it then copy it to your SDCard.
But if it is failing right when you start the application.
Try re-installing the app.
Or go to the Metamorph form on XDA here and do some research.

Im running Cog2.3b8 (it's on my sig). And yeah I already tried reinstalling.
Anyways, thanks for the help.

Yea.. I would def go to their post and see if you can get any better luck there.
I have read a few posts about the error your getting but dunno if there is a resolution yet.
