As the subject says, I uninstalled pocket contact manager and now my keyboard is totally white but still has the characters on it???
I've tried installing different keyboard cabs and going into settings to change the keyboard to the new ones but it doesn't do anything and I'm left with the same white keyboard with no colour on it whatsoever.
I've even tried soft resetting it after selecting a new keyboard but nothing seems to work
Anyone got any ideas???
Thanks!
try touch pal keybord

This is posted in the wrong forum (not ROM related), but it sounds like you don't have a keyboard skin selected. You'll have to change it in the Input options. This is a good one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329045
Thanks for the info guys but when I go to settings then input and select anything and click OK it just goes back to PCM Keyboard everytime so it doesn't matter what keyboard I install it won't let me use anything else?????
Anyone got any ideas??
I second this.. Ive messed mine up too.. Help it looks crap!
using duttys wm6.1 wwe on a Orange tytn II and dont really want to re-flash
*bump* aww c'mon anyone know how to fix the above?
I had the same issue a little while ago. TBH the problem stuck until I reflashed
Yup had to reflash. Was the only solution....
Try using SIPChange.
I've read a lot about the HTC_IME keyboard on this forum and really want to install it on the G1, but I've read conflicting reports about it causing conflicts with the G1's physical keyboard. Is that true, or can some G1 owners confirm that the HTC virtual keyboard works without conflict?
NO i use it on cyanogen rom, first get the files needed onto your sd.Turn off android input in local, then use astro to install ime then the clicker.apk, finally goto settings->locale turn on new input setting, reboot.
I use it sometimes can be tricky to get in but it is some much better than stock.
it CAN cause conflicts, but they do work together well. i have an unthemed version of HTC_IME and i have them both turned on so that when the keyboard pops up, you see the android VK instead of the HTC_IME keyboard, and it still uses all the functions of the HTC_IME. (honestly i dont like the way the HTC_IME's keys look so cluttered with numbers and symbols, but i love the user-dictionary functions and such. )
Anyway right when i made the switch to donut i had a problem with it when i tried to calibrate the HTC_IME keyboard without having the clicker.apk installed, continuous loop of FC's of the HTC_IME and i had to go all the way back to cm-4.1.11.1 and then flash back to 4.1.99 THEN back to the latest to get everything back to normal again. but since then i havent had a single problem with it, and they both work perfectly together...

the only "conflict" i've had with HTC_IME and the physical keyboard was when i was typing on the physical keyboard, it made the sound it makes when i type on the VK. not sure that's really a conflict though.
The only problem I've encountered with the HTC IME on my G1 is that when I touch the screen with the keyboard open, the soft keyboard's suggestion thing comes up when I start typing again. It goes away once you close & open the physical keyboard, though.

Yup this and the one above is the "conflict" that is widely known. its more of an annoyance
Thanks all for the input. I've searched and read through a lot of threads on this forum about installing the HTC VK, but there seem to be a lot of different installation procedures out there.
What would be considered the safest/easiest procedure for someone who is a novice with modding Android?
I've modded phones before, but that was only flashing feature phones with generic unbranded firmware...I've never done anything with Android. In fact, I've never even plugged in my phone's USB cable. If someone could post or link to the best installation procedure for the HTC VK I'd appreciate it.
EDIT: I'm running the stock T-Mobile 1.6 ROM if that matters.
Download the files from this thread and use AppInstaller from the Market. I'm just going by what other ppl have said in that thread so I cant guarantee anything w/ that app, I used adb to install the IME on my phone.
*EDIT* Also, just found this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_install_HTC_Keyboard.

That does sound annoying. Does the conflict go away if you go to Settings and switch back to the Android keyboard? Or is the issue there whenever the HTC VK is installed?
Yes it can be annoying when suggestions pop up when using the physical keyboard w/ HTC IME, just don't tap text entry fields when using HTC IME, use the trackball instead. Probablem solved. Just install it. You can go to settings > Locale and switch to the google IME whenever you want.

Only when HTC IME is enabled.
I got it installed and it's working beautifully!
Thanks to HTC for creating it, and to Cyanogen for making it available!

ya this is what i do. i like having this vk over any other vk because its accurate.... i dont always wanna open my phone lol.
I'm actually not having that problem. My issue is a little different.
Even though I have auto spelling correction enabled for the device keyboard, auto correction isn't actually working. This has been the case ever since I installed and switched to the HTC virtual keyboard.
Does anyone know a fix for this, or is this one of those things I'll have to live with?
what rom are you using it on?
This is the stock T-Mobile 1.6 ROM.
I have a 1.5 Dream & no prob with HTC_IME! Just looking to go up to 1.6 now!
I flashed the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249 and I love the increased battery life. But, one problem I've noticed is that when I have the samsung keyboard XT9 selected and when I'm typing in an email for some reason the first character of the word gets dropped. (eg. type "the" it puts in "he"). Sometimes it will do it in my SMS messages but not all the time. Also, if I chose the Android keyboard it doesn't have that problem but then again it doesn't have the XT9 feature. I like the XT9 features and think it must have something to do with that. Has anyone else experience this and/or know how I can fix this?
Thanks, in advance for any help or direction that you can give me.
If I turn off the XT9 predictive text under samsung keyboard then I don't have the problem I checked and it's the 2.3.3 samsung keyboard. But, I like the XT9 predictive text feature and find it odd that it only happens under the email program. Is there a way that I can reinstall this .apk?
Try out this keyboard. Personally, it's one of my favorites.

Thanks, Born but I'm not really looking for another keyboard option. I would like to fix the stock keyboard that I already like and used
I wonder if it has something to do with the mail client? Anyone else have this problem? Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Is anyone else that has flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249 (I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Fugu Root) had any problems using the stock samsung keyboard along with the XT9 advance features in the stock email client? Please confirm that it's working for you or not. That will at least help me determine if it's a bad/bug in the ROM or something that I did in flashing it. Thanks, to all who answer!
Custom rom and use samsung keyboard
How to use samsung keyboard on my custom rom ? o_0
HELP ME !>.<
i use ics2 rom
I think that was one of my major problems with KF1 too. That, and my touchscreen sensitivity was really poor.
I too like the Samsung keyboard, and don't like the newer versions though. I think the best version of the Samsung keyboard came out of KH3, or KI2. I've had problems with the newer versions with auto-captitalization not working correctly. I always have to backspace after ending a sentence with a period to get the first letter of the next sentence to capitalize. Also even if I have next word prediction unchecked, it still tries to predict quite often.
Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure it was KH3, because that's the only 2.3.4 that I have.
Hi,
I'm a huge HTC_IME fan and I heard that it's not compatible with Android 4.0. In fact, I installed teamhacksung's ROM and I tried to install it and it worked, but it crashes all the time when typing.
My question is: There is any solution to this? Because I really like this keyboard... Maybe a similar one?
Thanks a lot
I'm on the search to, but until now i don't find a solution.
i have the same problem...that the keyboard crash's after typing some text
same here.....too
I am using the ICS ROM from S.U.R.F.A.C.E. but the keyboard is bothering me.
Cant get used to it, its is only swype and no option for other.
Can I change this? Is there an .apk that I can install or is there an app I can use? I am used to Gingerbread keyboard, no swype, just normal.
Big thanks in advanced!
