Thanks! Glad everyone likes it so much!

As far as saving the settings, it has to do with the way you are installing it. Random tidbit of info: Astro File Manager does not support reinstalling apps. You need to either use a file manager that does support reinstalling (linda file manager or root explorer) or use adb like this: abd install -r c:\path\to\htc_ime.apk

The first option easier unless you already have adb setup and working, but I change skins all the time (generally testing stuff, but also just because I can :) ) and never once have I had to redo my settings.

When i click either of these links below i'm prompted for a username and password. How do i get one?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
By clicking the Register button??? :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Heh. ^ this man speaks the truth :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] scottypimpin636:
LOL wow i'm so blind... thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Ha-ha no worries. Wish I could say this was first time someone asked. Hell, I don't think it was even first time this week :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jettrue:
Ok, I was getting really confused. :) on my mac, the default unarchiver was un-archiving the zip, and then un-archiving the .apk. So I was reading all this talk about an .apk, and I was seeing a bunch of folders.

So I tried opening it with "the unarchiver" program, and that left the .apk intact.

All good and installed. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5ne1ke:
hi to all, i'd like to create a theme starting from the original graphics of the HTC keyboard.. i hoped to find a preset of it, but seems like there isn't..

i'd like to change just the space bar icon, which is the easiest way to do it?

thanks

DNL
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Just pick the pieces that match the original.

uhmm off top of head, gray background (but you might have to generate custom color background, not sure gray is in there)

primary keys white

function keys grayfunckeys

symbol set white

text colors black for first 2 white for third one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5ne1ke:
uhm.. white is the color of the primary keys? i'll try with that..

thanks for your answer.. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
yes. hahah.

you can look at a screenshot of the original, or your keyboard assuming it's installed?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5ne1ke:
maybe because my display is always setted with low brightness, but i guessed it was a light grey! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5ne1ke:
sorry for the noob question, after i generated the skin i download the zip file, i rename it with .apk, but it doesn't let my install it..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Don't rename it to .apk... Unzip it, the apk file is inside the zip file you downloaded. Or, just copy the zip to your sdcard and use whatever filemanager you are using to extract it there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 5ne1ke:
got it, thanks! the default mac app extracts the apk and automatically unzip that too.. someone already told it, now i understand what he was saying!

:)

thanks again for your work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lodes0:
You sir are a beast.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
how about more transparent button colors,maybe a tad bit more transparent then the dark one you have love this mod so much always changing to match current themes thanks a ton!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cyborg_001:
Does this now include the froyo version?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Yeah, in the high res kitchen on the "select version number" dropdown it's listed as like v25-froyo. Soon as v26 is out of beta it will likely be listed the same way (v26 and v26-froyo).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jettrue:
+1

I'd love non square gray transparent and white transparent keys. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
:)..moved here, perhaps you will get a few minutes...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] potter1984:
Thanks sooo much, my keyboard now looks AMAZING :P

Kudos on your hard work :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
As you may guess, those few minutes never happened... hahaha. I will likely do this in the next couple hours, tho, just have no way to test it right now.....

Thanks glad you like it!

My nexus 1 appears to have **** the bed today :( :( :( :( let's see if I can get htc to replace it! Wish me luck!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Added high res v26 beta versions to kitchen, but only for a few select early beta testers/trusted people and anyone that has donated (tried to, at least, if I missed you just send me an email/pm and let me know :) )

I haven't actually tested this as my N1 is currently out of commission, but it looks like it should be good to go.

Future beta versions will be added as I find out about them, and will continue to be limited access. (beta versions obv aren't meant for the masses, and I feel like I should give something back to those that donated, so a good way to control it I think).

Edit: I got my nexus working enough to test this (yayyyyyyyyyyy!) and have since realized that classes.dex from v26 beta is failing to baksmali (even with latest version of baksmali) whereas v25 does it fine.... This is very problematic hah. Going to do some more researching and check with jonasl to find out why. So right now, can't change text color on v26 beta.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
v26 beta working in kitchen (limited access)

v26 betas (limited access) now working in the kitchen. There were 2 lines of assembly code that were commented out in v26b1 that have not been commented out in previous versions. Not 100% sure the impact and/or reasoning behind this but I have removed them from being commented out in the kitchen edition.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
v26 in kitchen!

v26 (final) is out and has been added to all kitchens!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jettrue:
Thanks so much for your hard work.

Do you have any plans to add partially transparent white or grey keys, that are rounded just like the regular keyboard? Basically, I'd like a 50% transparent keyboard that looks just like stock, except it's partially transparent. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Yeah I have several more transparent options I plan on adding very soon. Been focusing on a UI overhaul and performance tweaks to the skin kitchen. I'll try to get few more partial transparent key options up tonight or tomorrow!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
Sweet interested as well.but id prefer more trans then50%.. thanks one of my favorite mods
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lissa5168:
I went crazy on the keyboard creation and have a TON on my SD card now. The only drawback to that is re-doing them all when I move to a FroYo ROM soon. :eek: LOL
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
lol nice nice. I keep the latest, themed, 2.1 and froyo builds on my sd card at all times. I tend to switch roms/wipe a lot and I can't stand stock keyboard for even a second anymore! I've done spoiled myself :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Legacystar:
any idea if you guys will be able to fix the floyo bug with the hardware keyboard on the droid. whenever you open the keyboard the HTC_IME force closes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Guess I don't know anything about this? Haven't seen it mentioned in Jonasl's thread either and he has said he was taking a pretty big break from developing this keyboard for right now. But I can take a look if there is indeed a bug.

Question 1> Are you using a froyo specific version (ie v26-froyo/2.2)

Question 2> If answer to 1 is yes, can you get a logcat of the force close happening?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Legacystar:
well im running the leaked 2.2 rom for moto droid. it says "voles-userdebug 2.2 FRFxx 49593 test-keys"

as far as a logcat could you tell me exactly how to do that. i have aLogcat from the market, do i need to filter just errors?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hmmm but what version of the keyboard are you using? There is a high res for roms less then 2.2 and also a froyo specific one. Are you using the froyo specific one and which version (v26-froyo being the latest).

You could just launch alogcat, clear log, do whatever it takes to get the keyboard to crash, then go back to alogcat and do send log and send it to my username here/everywhere @gmail.com Don't worry about filtering it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Legacystar:
i am running the new v26 froyo hi res. i'm going to send you a logcat now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] newone757:
this is the best thing ive downloaded all weekend. Working GREAT on my Evo, thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chobie:
Verification failed on recovery on v26. =\

Oops. This is apk. LMAO. My bad =]
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] scarecrow2012:
Great work with the kitchen, very easy to use with awesome results.

:D Thanks :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tsekh501:
Is it possible to incorporate the "arrow buttons" in the EVO 4G keyboard as an option in future revisions? The arrow buttons add-on was necessary for the EVO 4G to move the cursor around since it doesn't have a trackball/trackpad.

The EVO 4G keyboard has been extracted by people and can be found here:

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/310582/htc-evo-keyboard/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
It would basically mean taking all the changes that have been made to the current HTC_IME mod and merging them into the EVO 4G apk I would think... Doing the reverse ("pulling" the arrow key features) without source code would be a massive pain in the ass, if even possible.

It might not be as convenient, but you could use the volume up/down to move cursor hack for now, right?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gilg@mesh:
V27? :)

......
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gaeng4665:
hi, i created a theme for the keybord with this kitchen.

But i can't flash it...

there isn't any apk file in it either.

running stock v 26 ime.

can anyone tell me how to install the theme??

i used the search in this forum, but all i could find is install the themed apk with a file manager. well i know.... but there is no apk!?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
You should have downloaded a zip file from the kitchen. Unzip the file and extract the apk. Copy the apk to your SDcard and install the apk :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gaeng4665:
well i did all that. the problem is: there is no apk file in the zip

tried to make a cyanogen one. but no apk in it.

i've successfully installed the unthemed htc ime v 26 like that.

--> ???
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Whoa where was i when v27 came out?!? hahah, give me a min i'll put it in there.

Edit: v27 is up.

Hmmm, there is DEFINITELY an apk file within the zip. You don't happen to be on a MAC do you? It's been posted in here at least 3 or 4 times that the default archiver on mac, for whatever reason, will extract the zip file, then auto extract the apk file within leaving you with files/folders and not an apk file.

If you are on a mac try a different archive utility, or just copy the original zip file to your sd card and extract it on your phone with astro or something.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gaeng4665:
yep i'm on mac.

must have overread this.

thx gonna try it later
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gaeng4665:
yep was the mac. it worked.

many thx
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Atruong:
Helpppp! custom keyboard not working :/

hi guys, i got htc desire, i installed the High res HTC_IME mod file, went into settings>language & keyboard>ticked HTC_IME mod>kill keyboard..... and nothing happened :/

its still stock keyboard...have i done something wrong here?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] belfastbob:
Just used your kitchen and installed by themed keyboard on my N1 with Froyo. Very impressed with it, I would recommend it for everyone. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uptownwing:
Thanks I Love This! Especially Because I Got This Semi-Crappy Behold 2

Is There Anyway To Donate? :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Now that it is enabled, you have to select it as your input method. Go to any field you can type in, and long press the text field (where your cursor is) a menu will pop up, click change input method, click htc_ime mod, and enjoy :)

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Thank you :) There is a link in my sig/first post of this thread/main page of the kitchen if you feel so inclined :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Server got HAMMERED today (couple articles on other forums)! I was planning on trying to do something special for 5000 user mark. However, got an influx of like 300+ users today and pushed it over 5300, and I thought I had at least until the weekend! :eek:

Interesting stat:

Greatest number of keyboards made in an hour - 111 (1 every 32.432432432432 seconds)

That hour was on Wednesday, June 9th, 2010 between 01 and 2 pm EST

Re: [Skins] HTC_IME High/Low Res v27 custom skin generator online! Updated June 8th!

Wow impressive.

One question though. When I get a sms popping up (handcent) and I type in the popup window after a while it crashes including the wallpaper. (Revert to stock)

Any idea why?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] torchedlh:
Just wanted to say this is awesome and please keep up the great work! Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jsomething:
i have one of your htc keyboards on my droid that i love, but it doesn't work on foryo. is there an easy way to port it over? i tried making a whole new one, but when i'm done i hit the click here to download link and i get 403 forbidden error.

any ideas what i'm doing wrong? i tired it from chrome and IE
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
You would have to create a new one with a froyo specific build. You can use your history on my site to make it a little easier (will show you what images you clicked before with a yellow border around it).

403 forbidden error was probably just some random bug I'd guess. Could you try it again?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jsomething:
tried it again tonight... same error

i had went ahead and installed the stock v27 for froyo and it works, but i do get the force closed a few times if i use the hardward keyboard like someone else posted about earlier. it pops up FC about 3 times. while typing and then stops. if that helps.

oh and this is on a droid.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
What is your username on my website? I'll have to take a peak and see what's wrong with your account/folders.

I think FC on droid froyo are related to the rom. I've had some people tell me they stopped getting FC's after updating to latest or different version of whatever droid/froyo rom they were using.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ovigt71:
I have problem with Froyo 2.2. it's force closing. my user name on your site is ovigt71 . I'm running Paul's rom MCR r16 .... any advice? thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thesparky007:
i have an idea gimpsta on how to improve this

instead of having to reinstall the apk for each theme, if you can collaborate with the xda member that modded the htc keyboard to start with and have an option to just choose from a list of downloaded skins, that way we can change between the skins with ease.

i hope i made sense
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jsomething:
ahhh on your site i'm ??? same as on droidforums.net, but here wouldn't take the ??? as a s/n lol

as for which rom, i'm running chevy's Froyo Simply Stunning 4.0. which is built off the 2nd froyo leak i'm pretty sure.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sheltrack:
im confused... lowres is for g1, mt3g correct? but when i go to gimpsta the only OS options are 1.6, 1.5. Im running a 2.1 eclair rom though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
So your user name is ??? hah. hmmm.. can you make a username with no symbols in it, only standard letters/numbers and try? As far as any FC issues go on droid, I'll have to look into it when I have more time, unless Jonasl is already looking into it, but I don't think he's working much on this anymore.

The options are 1.5 only and 1.6+ (meaning 1.6 or higher). 1.6+ is fine for eclair.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sheltrack:
oh ok thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jsomething:
ahhh haha didn't think of that. real quick, anyways to clear out my old one. i can't make a new one using the same e mail address. and i only have one lol

sorry to be such a pain.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Is it a gmail address by chance? use the + method if so. Like i'm gimpsta@gmail.com, but gimpsta+randomword@gmail.com is still me but technically a different email addy. you can put whatever you want after the + just do username+blah@gmail.com.

If not, you could also use mailinator.com (dont even need to sign up or anything, it's just a temporary mail box created whenever mail is sent to it).

It would be a bit before I could clear out the other one, unfortunately, but I can later if needed!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jsomething:
yep, its gmail. i'll do that. thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thesparky007:
hey gimpsta, can you include a black symbols set?

and did you look at my suggestion earlier?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Sure, will do soon as I can.

Saw the suggestion earlier, the original author is not currently working on this project anymore. That may change, but he has stated he does not have the time to continue on it right now. I've had few discussions with him about a similar idea tho (built in skin loader). It was added to list of eventual things to try to build in, but was pretty low priority over other functionality.

As it stands right now easiest way is to put a bunch of themed keyboards on your sdcard, use a file manager that supports reinstall like root explorer or linda (astro still doesn't reinstall, I believe). that way you can change themes without having to redo custom settings/dictionary.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thesparky007:
ohh ok i didnt know he stopped working on the project anymore but im sure we could find someone else who is capable that is willing to take over the project, if the original guy agrees but yea i use astro currently to do just that...

I'm a graphic designer so if you there is anything i can help with let me know and i'd be glad to.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sim64one:

Thank you
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Greetings Everyone,

Early tomorrow morning I am leaving for vacation to a little slice of heaven where there is absolutely no cell phone service/technology for an entire week! In the (probably very unlikely) event that a new version of HTC_IME comes out or anything breaks, it will likely go unnoticed until next Sunday (June 20th). If a new version happens to come out before Wednesday, my moderator (bmartin0285) may be able to get it added to the kitchen, but he will be in no technology land after that as well :) It's highly unlikely, though, that a new version will surface, and hopefully nothing breaks but wanted everyone to know why I'm "ignoring" them for so long if anything happens!

Be back in a week :)

gIMp
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Have a nice week, enjoy :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
oooo la la, He called me the moderator!! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jsomething:
ok, quick update. deff don't use ?/! as a s/n. it doesn't work. but everything does. so i was able to down load.

as for the force close when you open the keyboard on droid. the newest version that works is v25. v26 isn't to bad and v27 FC about 4 times every time you open the keyboard to type anything.

so go with 25v and it seems to work so far at aleast. i don't know what the newer 2 have, but i'm happy it works.

thanks again for all this guys.

oh and how to you use a coustom image for the space bar? what size should they be?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jsomething:
my bad, v25 still force closed sometimes when you open the keyboard. but only randomly and once. so its better.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lissa5168:
No larger than 100 x 62. All you have to do it resize whatever image you want to use to under that dimension then use the uploader on the space bar page to upload it. After that, just select it and there you go! :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
neither myself or @gIMpSTa has a droid to try these on really..... Any FC's issues should probable be posted in jonasl's thread but as gIMpSTa has stated jonasl maybe done with keyboard for awhile, or atleast spending less time working on it..... I myself have no ability to help you with that situation but should jonasl not be working on it, gIMpSTa may take a look into it once back from vacation sometime.....

In the meantime you could try completely uninstalling anything related to HTC_IME (like completely from every location it could be /data/app /system/app ect.)... This may help or may not.... Could always ask in some of the droid forums elsewhere on the internet's as this kitchen has been featured there several times and they maybe able to help you....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jsomething:
yeah i understand you guys prob don't have droids. i don't really expect anyone to fix it. just info.

there's a thread in the droid forum about it. most of the guys switch from themed to the stock v27 and it works. for others it doesn't. so i will try searching for anything htc and deleating it. i'm guessing i can do this with astro?

or is there a better way?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
LOL

that was the first i installed, and i keep it FOREVER!

BUT, hit the following link, those guys have the penguin changd for a black or white moto-logo on the golden theme .... might be for you ;)

version 20 is out.. any chance at getting updates.. also still waiting for someone to do a univ. of mich wolverines one.. or give me some intructions because when i try to change icons in a .apk and reconstruct and resign it .. it wont install.

thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Was just waiting for it to come out of beta. Will update soon as I'm back from lunch! Will also try to get all requested skins up tonight.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codito:
Maybe if they had a REAL hockey team like the red wings skin I'd use that one :P

I usually keep it simple and I'm only using the basic black one that matches my black bar and theme right now.

This is very exciting !!:D Thanks a million gimp!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
thanks i installed via update of the .apk's.. but your install instructions dont say what to do with the libt9.so that is in the zip..

I did copy it to /system/lib but i didnt see one there previously?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
When you either install via a file manager or adb install -r the libt9 file gets installed (may not necesarily be in /system/lib). I include it in the update.zip since if you flash it, it won't appropriately extract and install that file.

If you don't have it, the keyboard will FC constantly. Also, this file hasn't/doesn't change from release to release, so it's safe to ignore, assuming everything is working :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Thanks for the quick updates!
