Text Selection method from Desire - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to get the text selection feature from the desire? I'm sure those of you who have used Paul's desire port know what I'm talking about. I'm running MCR21 now, vanilla froyo based, but I REALLY miss that text selection method. Is there any way to implement that in non-desire/sense Roms?

Hero ROM Question - SEND TXT ON ENTER?

Just a quick question that I am unable to find the answer anywhere for..
With NON-HERO Android ROM's one is able to set the "send on enter" option in the text message settings. Is this available at all with Hero Roms? I have used 3 Hero ROMS, and none have this option. Maybe somebody could point me in the right direction.. thanks
i don't think the mms.apk by rvg151 works with hero, but you could look for it in the dev section and see if it is compatible, that would give you the option. i don't know if there is another way, since hero doesn't have a keyboard, the functionality would have to be added into the hero mms.apk.

i figured that much. also HATE how the screen doesnt rotate when you open the keyboard unless theres a text field. hero is BEYOND annoying when its on a Dream. Back to CM!

2.1 Phone.apk in 1.6

i tried searching, didnt find anything. I have tried it, got FC parade.
I am using aContacts, if that has anything to do with it. Or is it just not a possibility for on 1.6.
Just cant stand the functionality of the 1.6 Phone.apk, and am mainly wanting to use This one or one thats like it.
To answer your question no, unless someone is able to port it (doubt it when you can just use a full rom).
What functionality are use looking for in a call application?

Just mainly looking for the functions, like speaker and mute to be on screen(I use speaker phone alot) and the dialpad is just a click away with 2.1, whereas with 1.6 you have to slide it up, which is a pain sometimes.
I dont want to sacrifice my speed to go to 2.1, so how difficult would it be to port it, and how would I go about doing so. Im gonna search around and see what I get, but any heads up would be cool to.
...............................
Done some research and it seems that its a little outta my comprehension at the moment. Guess im stuck with 1.6 apk for now.

[Q] New HTC Sense keyboard on Cyanogen

Hi,
First off thanks to all the developers. I bought a DHD a couple of weeks ago. With the help of some very useful noob guides (thanks again) its all rooted and booted, out of its shackles and ready to fly as it was meant to. I have put cyanogen6.1.0 RC2 on it and I love it.
The only issue I am having so far is to do with the keyboard. I have fat fingers and often mis type or get mis auto corrected. to fix I have to tap on the area of text I need to correct. Problem is fat fingers mean cant put the cursor exactly where I want and a few seconds of unnecessary frustration. On my previous Magic I could scrol with the roller ball.
Anyways to conclude my essay, the HTC sense keyboard that was originally on my phone had arrows that would allow me to move around (good for fat fingers) the cyanogen keyboard doesnt (not so fat finger friendly).
Is there a way I can find the HTC sense Keyboard apk and use on the cyanogen? Where do I find this file?
Sorry for the long post,
here you go this is as close as youll get to sense keyboard

Never fear things are much, much better in Gingerbread. Cyanogenmod 7 will alleviate all your woes. I've been told by the developers that it even cures cancer and of course there will be no world hunger if everyone has Gingerbread to eat.

When is CM 7 out?
@ fkofilee thanks muchos
Fat finger loving, cancer busting, sweet gingerbread crumbs in the shape of cyanogen 7 for my DHD bird! boom boom! You have my attention.
I just tried the HTC_IME_hi22. I have selected it (ticked it) in my 'Language and Keyboard' and in the settings tried to mess about with swipe gestures to move between words. No luck. The keyboard seems exactly the same as it was before and fat finger issue still persists. Do I need to somehoe deactivate the old keyboard? can I not find the apk from my sense rom and drop it into cyanogen rom?
I see you have enabled the keyboard, but have you selected it? Press and hold on text entry box and choose "Input method", then select "HTC_IME mod". Your new keyboard will now be used.
Elementary my dear watson! Thanks,
Thats exactly what I had not done! the app looks the part, but still no luck from the finger swipe and navigation arrows. Ive had a look at swype and one or two others. they dont have this navigation either. Fat fingers crossed for gingerbread
to serve this key can be changed, thanks
HTC Sense Keyboard for Incredible S/CM7
I realize this is the Desire HD forum, but I thought I would post here first before starting a new thread. I've been searching around for a while, and along with this thread, I found another (link below), that provides links to and HTC sense keyboard .apk that can be used instead of the stock CM7 keyboard. I used the Sense keyboard for almost a year on my Incredible S before I installed CM7, and so really miss the long press for special characters, as well as the auto-correct feature I came to rely on so much.
My question is, If I download and install one of these .apk's (either the one in this thread, or the thread I linked), SHOULD it work on the Incredible S, or do I need to find an .apk specific to my phone. I tired installing the one from the link, but when trying to switch to it in the Messaging app, it just force closes right away.
Apologies if there is already a thread related to this for the Incredible S. I did some searching but couldn't find anything. And of course, Thanks in advance for any help you folks can provide.

Seriously dude? There is a Q&A thread for things like this for one and yout question has nothing to do with themes.
You can just download gingerbread keyboard from the market and enable it from settings.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but the HTC_IME_hi22 actually worked on my RaZr. Only problem, there is a bit of a gap on the right side. So the keyboard seems to be slightly 'left aligned' badly put.
Can any1 help me with this. Am on RaZr, qHD screen.

How smart are you?

Nobody seems to be able to answer this:
What controls the "special" letters in the STOCK SAMSUNG keyboard? i.e. æåø or other characters that most countries have in their alphabet.
I wonder about this because i have tried just transfering the same keyboard to different roms. On the stock js5 i get the characters, but not on other custom roms, so there must been some other files that control this.
Remember, before u answer this... i said stock samsung keyboard, and not any other keyboard that might have the characters
Peace
i dun have an answer but .. i think those rom/kernel makers in the development forum are more likely to be able to answer this ....
guess i am smart ;P got it
Not that I am smart, just interested: what was the answer?
It's simple.
There are particular letters that have a '...' after then. For example, if you press down A, then the popup is 'A...' and a long press opens out all the options.
But not all keys have alternate symbols. Only The top line, ie, qwertyuiop, and A,S,C,N and a few others.
Check it out!
edit: Im on stock 2.2 DDJP6 by the way.
I guess i'm not smart, couse i don't get it.
Don't ask dumb question to smart people

The title of this thread seems weird to me, where did you post asking about this and nobody was able to answer your question?
It's very simply : special characters and T9 dictionaries are in system/T9DB folder -about 4mb size.Samsung keyboard also require lib file LibXT9core.so

[Q] [FW:2.3.7] Can the call screen be replaced with the ICS one?

Hi,
Could you tell me if there is any hack (not TP application like, for example Full Screen Caller ID) to replace the call screen of 2.3 firmware based devices? Like replacing the .apk or something..
I really like the ICS call screen, but that's actually one of the only things I'd like to change on my CM7 ROM. The incredible speed can't be replaced with any features list or graphical tweaks in my personal opinion.
So, one more time, to make myself clear:
I want to have the ICS call screen instead of the old 2.x.x FW one, but I don't want another program to overlap/interact/slow down/bug the call screen.
Thanks
so I guess it can't be done.
can you at least tell me if I'm posting in the right area? thanks.
cool. looks like I have my own space here. no one cares what I'm saying, no one watches, no one intervenes.

very helpful.
not a waste of time at all.
no sarcasm either.
It can't be done
