I'm not a huge fan of sense, but I like the HTC keyboard better than better keyboard. Has anyone gotten an apk of the tattoo's keyboard working on regular donut or eclair?
what resolution are you running
and that keyboard is called HTC_IME if you search for it you can find the apk
i have had it running on Warm Donut, and mssmison's Eclair Build has it built-in

There is that one, havent been able to get it working on qvga donut, I had another one somewhere, that worked but it looked choppy because it was being downscaled I assume - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4660034#post4660034, think thats it
I do remember running a hero build aaaages ago that had a perfect keyboard but that builds probably long gone

Anyone have the original Cupcake keyboard or know the name of it so i can sttrip it from a rom?
Do you mean the black one?
If yes, cyanogenmod has it.
HTC_IME.apk as far as I know
If you can't find the stock one in a ROM, I have the 1.5 and 1.6 originals. PM me with a email address.
Not the HTC_IME one that one isnt as good as the original cupcake one imo. The original cupcake version is the one i would like
i think its latin_ime.apk
ideal thanks
is it the default black one?
what are the advantages?
the switch for the umlauts like ÖÄÜ is rather complicated with the default one. Or am i missing something
i just prefer it to the touch input one, It is faster and easier imho
I dont mean to post a new thread but has anyone seen this?
Any one know if it'll work with myns build?
i tried to install it
but it just FC all the time
you guys can try it out, if you guys want
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
edit:i accidentally tried installing the his res one
probably the cause of my fc's
im trying the low res one now...
edit2: low res did not resolve the FC's
i want to say maybe since i had previously installed the original HTC_IME it preventing this one from functioning properly
anyone having any luck?
I use 320x480 and it works perfectly

i dont think it will work. he's probably talking about the regular htc ime. i tried both high and lo res on myn's and it just force closes
Try changing the screen density to 120.
Hey guys,
Here's a working HTC_IME in our resolution (240x320) that I've uploaded. Make sure you follow the installation instructions!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661525
check it out. for eclair.. not sure if it is for froyo.. best compatiablitiy so far for me.

There's one out there for FroYo, that has working multitouch. I don't remember where I found it, but I changed the color to green and used it in the ROM in my signature. You could use it from there.
Finally, there is now a .apk for a simple install of the new Gingerbread keyboard.
It has been confirmed working for MCCM HD and MDJ Desire HD build so it should work for all the other HD builds.
The .apk files can be found here.
I would love to get this working as well. To shed some light, it does work on Motoman's black and blue, which is based off of MDJ's rEVOlution 2.0. So I know it is sense compatible, just not Desire HD compatible.
I would love if someone got this working!
This is the error log when FC. I cant look at it now but I suppose lib files needs to be changed. I have no C-coding capabilities.. so..

+!. I would love this too, it's the only thing missing from MDJ's RevolutionHD build. I honestly don't think many people are bothered though, the problem is that once I'd tried it with a Froyo build it's horrible going back to the HTC one. So unresponsive and nasty.
I tried the gingerbread keyboard in darkstones superram build, and man I hated it! How do you guys deal with not have the arrow keys? Especially with copy and pasting, editting, etc...its a pain without the arrow keys.

You don't need arrow keys with the HD builds because you get the zoom and select features when you press and hold on the text area.
But when you mistype and you want to correct a single letter, then tipping with a finger can be difficult... thus i love the arrow buttons!

I am just guessing here but I dont think you have actually tried to pin point where you want the cursor on one of the Desire HD builds. All you have to do is put your finger on the text and it magnifies it for improved accuracy, similar to the iphone really but it works a treat. Saying that though, this improvement over positioning the cursor may have something to do with why it isnt compatible with the Desire HD builds yet. I'm not a programmer but I should imagine it would just be a case of modifying the script to get this to work.
I have not messed with the new Gingerbread keyboard yet, but does the zoom or curser location feature packaged with the keyboard or is that some other sort of small application?
I use Smart Keyboard so i switch between the HTC keyboard and the iPhone keyboard.
(I find Black or darker keyboards harder to type outside, compared to lighter or white keyboards)
A friend emailed me the Gingerbread keyboard and I'm not exactly where to install it?
/SD/Android applications?

I think you have a point with cursor placement, it is the same no matter which keyboard you use. I were just clutching at straws when I suggested it. I'm not a chef or programmer so dont have a clue how to fix the Gingerbread keyboard with the Desire HD builds. I know you have to move the app and lib files into the system directory for CM6, MIUI and I have heard Desire builds, it seems it is only the Desire HD builds where there is a problem as force error pops up.
Maybe soon Gingerbread keyboard will be available with any build, or someone releases a fix for it.
+1 to this, I would LOVE to see a Gingerbread keyboard on MDJ Desire HD!
+ 1 here.
Hope the Android ROM chiefs incorporate it in their next releases while we wait for a gingerbread ROM
+1,, i hope to see this work on hd desire builds too!
as i mentioned in ur other thread i found it i'll also post the link here for those hunting the famous gingerbread keyboard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202

Thanks for the link. It says in the link provided that the build they are using is a cm6 build. However I have downloaded the relevant apk for 2.2 desire_hd2 build and installed it without any problems. After ticking the box in settings and selecting Gingerbread keyboard, the same force close issue comes up.
It seems the Android keyboard works with every build apart from the Desire HD build. Lets hope a solution is found soon.
Just wanna subscribe to this thread
WTH is this stickied?
There isn't even a dummies guide to running Android on a HD2 stickied (even though the threads exist), yet this thread gets stickied?
what's so special about this keyboard?

what's special about it is that we are all INSTALL ADICTS and just have to try it out coz it's out there ....and what others have working must be working on our HD2 with the latest ROM too ...
hey all I have a question is there a rom for the G1 that has the interface and features of
MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.6_MDJ_S78.0
thanks,
Reg
Way to make your question as awkward to answer as possible...
The ROM you're referring to features the 'new' HTC Sense, built on Froyo. There are Sense ROMs for Dream, but only based on Eclair (AFAIK, there are HVGA froyo sense builds but no one has ported them to Dream yet).
So you can get something similar, just based on Eclair, without the new Sense features... oh, and it will run like molasses.
sorry wasn't really sure how to put the question and that is the same rom I jun on my HD2 so i figured it would be easiest just to include the rom name.
Are there any downsides to going back to Eclair?
No native Apps2SD, things don't seem to run quite as fast. Nothing major, it's just outdated.
thanks that is what i needed to know
I have a quick question about G1 rom(s) as well, and don't think a new thread is necessary- I hope yonu won't mind if i use his thread..
I bought a G1 for my sister- she needs only facebook, youtube, some internet, texting, calling. The G1 is from rogers and it came with android 1.5- I immediately installed the newest cyanogen (6.x) on it by following the official cyanogen wiki. Now, however, the G1 is sometimes slower than my X1 running android. That doesn't seem right. Is this a normal cyanogen behavior? If yes, is there some light rom that is fast and stable? (it has to be froyo, as she needs facebook notifications.)
Thanks!

Pretty much, it's an old device. Your X1 has the same CPU as the G1, but has 64mb of RAM more than the G1.
Try the ezterry's Froyo MyTouch port, it's a port of the froyo build that was released for the mytouch3g (same hardware as G1). If that doesn't satisfy you, you'll be looking at going back to donut (1.6).
Thnx for replies.
to AdrianK: Is donut faster on G1? I always though that JIT makes Froyo the fastest android.. but I guess that works only when there is enough RAM..
to traumatism: Not sure here, but didn't it say in the marketplace that the notifications (by that I mean info in status bar about new message, comment etc showing up even when the fb app is not running) are available only for android 2.2 and up?
