Ya, i tried same. I pretty much already knew it wasnt going to work but gave it a shot as well. Just have to wait for someone to hack it up for our screen res and we should be good to go. I am just taking a shot in the dark and thinking that is the only reason why it wont work and could be wrong.

Mine installed just fine. I just cant get the keyboard to pull up

The Eris is mdpi where as the Droid is hdpi its a resolution thing...even if you got it to load the keys would be to big for your screen much like when the HTCIME first came out and everyone was jumping on the hi res version...

someone may port it...they're several pngs that have to be resized and edited etc porting any apk and or making a theme is a time intensive task so maybe if a themer or a dev feels like jumping on it...it may happen... if you want to tackle it yourself get you a trial copy of winRAR or another file reader and open a mdpi and the hdpi files and compare the res/drawables....thats a place to start I think.

It also has the resolution for each key specified in the decompiled .smali files inside classes.dex, so I think it's a big job to convert it. It's definitely beyond my ability. You'd need to use a tool like APK Manager 4.4 (search XDA for it) or manually decompile it with baksmali.
EDIT: I was wrong, the resolution in the .smali files is relative, so that's not stopping it from working.

Nope it wants to replace the latinime app thats why it wont install

Some Hero folks got it working as-is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710522#post6949662
It sounds like it only works with Vanilla-based ROMs since they have LatinIME in them (Android keyboard), and you have to push it to /system/app/LatinIME.apk (overwriting the Android keyboard) instead of installing it as a user app.

Most likely you can use Root Explorer or a similar app to move it into /system/app while the phone is on, then make sure you check its permissions (should be rw-r--r--), and then reboot for the change to take effect. Again, I haven't gotten this to work for me, but I'm on a Sense-based ROM. The successes reported were on Heros with their "darchdroid" ROM.

I have an idea for getting this to work with Sense, and I'm testing my theory right now. My theory is that we're missing its dependencies (in /system/lib), so I'm going to just flash the "Android Keyboard for Sense" from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5874235#post5874235
And then flash the new Droid X keyboard on top of that. Maybe that'll work.
UPDATE: YES! It works! Hang on, I'll post an update.zip to take care of installing it...

Can you post the flashable droid x keyboard for those on froyo or vanilla roms

It should already work on Vanilla ROMs. Just install the APK on the first page of this thread. The pre-requisite is that you have to have the Android stock keyboard (com.google.inputmethod.latin) installed, which you do.
The tricky part is a Sense ROM, because it doesn't have the Android keyboard.
Attached is a flashable ZIP to install the Droid X Multi-Touch Keyboard onto a Sense-based ROM (or any ROM without the Android stock keyboard).
Credit to itmustbejj for original keyboard.

so I got it to install but I just get it force closing every three seconds

HTC_IME mod keyboard

Hey guys, I'm currently running CM6 rom and I tried to install the HTC_IME MOD keyboard with no luck. I was actually able to install it but when I select it as the input method the keyboard never appears on the screen. Has anyone gotten this to work on their Aria successfully? I tried it on both CM6 and Attn1 liberated rom. I installed swype and that works fine, but I really would prefer the HTC keyboard.

Here's a link to the HTC_IME thread on the forums. I've tried the low and high res versions and neither worked. They install fine, I go into settings and enable, then choose it as the input method, no problem. But the keyboard never pops up.

no offense but we arent looking for a different language we are looking at the keyboard interface
i also suspect that this was designed for a different device, a higher resolution device and the low resolution versions dont support froyo

works great i dont seem to have the issue with a glitch on the speak now...but it does work great...also im running cm6 6.0.2 with dumfuq's oc kernel 825...wich is great btw

I got this to work...once. Not sure what I did right, but I'd like to do it again. I was running CM6.1 and tried it many times. I think the only time I got it to work may have been when I chose lo res. I shall reattempt after I resolve a few other issues. I will do my best to report back if there is success.

Use the Low Resolution. I used a PC for the download and extraction. All you need is the apk that comes from the extract. Send the apk to your phone using any means (e-mail, usb connect). Use a file explorer such as Astro to install the apk. After installing the apk, go to Menu>Settings>Language & keyboard and check next to HTC_IME. (Notice there is a settings link - quite good). Back out to the home screen and select an app that would need text input. Long press on the text field, then select Input method. Select HTC_IME mod.
If you use the gimpsta ( http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/) skinner, use the lowres. When you want to change skins, just do the same install you did earlier with one tricky exception. They are all labeled the same, no matter what you name each skin's apk. When you locate the new skin in your explorer and try to install the apk, it will not give you an install option, but an uninstall option. Go with the uninstall, then when you return to the file explorer, reattempt install. Follow through with the subsequent steps to activate the input method, just like your original install of this custom keyboard.
Hope this helps. I was almost obsessed with making this work, because I had seen it work once. Now we just wait for gimpsta to give us low res users more options like custom keys, symbols and spacebar inlays.

Yeah,
1. You have to enable it in the menu.
2. You do a long check on a type-box.
3. choose input method, and then you can use HTC_IME mod.
4.??
5. Profit!

I'm having trouble getting this to work. I tried both hi-res links and the 1.6 lo res. the hi-res had nothing show up when a keyboard was needed (the standard android keyboard disapeared and was not replaced). the lo-res force closed.
i wiped all data/caches before installing CM6.1

Does anybody know how to make HTC_IME to show the character "ñ" on the keyboard? Even though I only marked spanish as my language it just won't show. It should be next to the "L"

Try pressing and hold or slide up and should show it.

I did it! It was on the "keyboard language" section. It's weird that I didn't notice that before. I was choosing my language on the "Language Selection" area. Thank you for for you answer

[APP] | UPDATED 12/13/10 | Gingerbread Themed DX KB for 2.1

Gingerbread Themed DROIDX Multi touch Keyboard for Eclair 2.1
There are two versions of this keyboard one with regular DROIDX sized keys and one with modified Gingerbread sized keys. I have only done a little work on the keyboard so far but it has the general look, style and feel of the Gingerbread keyboard that most people are looking for, and it is for 2.1!
How to Install:
Make sure that your system is deodexed.
Flash using clockwork recovery. Or if you have the DX Keyboard installed already you can just replace the apk in /system/app.
Supported Device List
* Warning * This is not a guarantee that this keyboard will work for your device and am I in no way responsible for anything happening to your phone. By flashing these files you agree to take all responsibility. This is a list of phones that I have either tested the keyboard on or someone else has reported it as working.
Samsung Fascinate
X10
This should be fixed now with the updated clockwork file, thanks to imnuts.
If you end up getting FC errors delete LatinIME.apk and LatinIMEtutorial.apk in system/app.
Also try deleting cache/dalvik
Change Log
1.2:
- Redid naming convention for the zip files.
- Updated the clockwork files to delete latinime.apk thanks to imnuts.
- Added a screenshot of the smaller keys, Screenshot #2 and #6 (the keys are not any different in landscape).
1.1:
- Created a second version to mimic the actual size and spacing of the real Gingerbread KB
- Fixed a "&" fix that I had missed
1.0:
- Completely redid using new images and text colors from GB KB.
- Fixed the "&" sign from not displaying properly

Fc something about inputmethod.latin has stopped. I wiped davlik...

[Q] Iida infobar interface - any way to get it? :D

Here's a new interface from the Iida phone : http://iida.jp/english/products/infobar/interface/
It looks great, very WP7 like.
Is there a dump of Iida online? maybe someone could extract the launcher out of it. Based of lifehackers translation, the Iida is running gingerbread, so it may be possible to port the launcher to our SGS

Second that, hope it can be ported and translated to SGS

http://iida.jp/english/products/infobar/
here is the english version of the site, sans the video. the phone's name is INFOBAR A01. i haven't been able to find a rom or dump online yet.

You guys think I'll be able to run a rom of that on a 600mhz processor phone?

This looks awesome, I can't wait for it to be released. Hopefully we can get a ROM for it

I used root explorer to move the apk files, but it didn't do anything. (I wasn't sure if I had to install them, but I couldn't either way.)

Try using adb to push the apks in system/app, if anything goes wrong adb will show why.

HTC Facebook Chat Widget

The .odex file goes in the same folder as the widget, ie. apps
I can deodex if you want, but will do it later on, I'm totally shattered currently.
I was thinking someone would implement it into a ROM. Not sure how well all this works.
Forgive me, not had much sleep!

This looks genius, can't wait to see this get picked up by devs. Legen.........
wait for it

DARY

can anyone post screens for this?
