How do I delete or uninstall the keyboard after I put it on... i was testing but now want to either rename it or completely delete it. NOT ROOTED
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Just uninstall it like any other app. It's called htcime mod.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JAYNO20:
Yeah I was hoping for this version only in multi touch. I have 2.2 currently and the default keyboard is multi touch, but this one has so many desirable options I was hoping to get both...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
That's probably not going to happen anytime soon, unfortunately.

They are two completely different keyboards to which we don't have source code for.

I've tried the multitouch keyboard and other keyboards that support it. My question is this, how fast are you guys typing that it makes an ACTUAL difference? Is it a speed thing or typing style? I type ridiculously fast (125+wpm) on a computer and rather fast on my non-multitouch keyboard on my n1. Like fast to the point that sometimes I don't think I could even move fingers any quicker, and almost never skip a beat without multitouch.

I wonder are people REALLY typing that much better on the multitouch IME or is it more of a placebo effect for most users?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JAYNO20:
I actually noticed the difference on froyo's multi touch keyboard before I even knew it was multi touch. The one thing that continues to get me on non multi touch is typing something and then hitting the space bar. 9 times out of 10 the space doesn't show up because I am actually hitting it before the last letter is released.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Ahh got ya so maybe it's partially typing style and partially speed.

For example, I NEVER hit the period key unless I'm doing something like www.gimpsta.com or 4.20.247.1 etc. If I want to insert a period at the end of a sentence/word I just tap the spacebar twice (tho, that might be an option I have enabled in jonasl's ime mod, i'm not sure if it's a stock option or not).

Edit: well this doesn't make much sense now that you edited your post hahah.

Makes sense to me tho either way. I was just curious because I found that I typed considerably worse on it, tho I imagine that was a learning curve of getting used to features I no longer have or that worked differently.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JAYNO20:
Yeah sorry about that, I have no idea why I said period when I was thinking space bar but you get the idea.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chrisanderin:
How do I install more then one on my phone at a time to switch back and forth freely as wanted? I tried renaming file before I put it on my phone but that didnt work or I didnt do it right.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
You can't install more then one. The only way you could do it would be to either rename the apk files and keep them in a folder on your sdcard or put them in individual subfolders (ie /sdcard/themed keyboards/black-keys/HTC_IME(...).apk).

Then, use a file browser that supports reinstalling (astro file manager does NOT, root explorer and linda both do for example). And install whichever one you want to switch to.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chrisanderin:
I cant find Linda... I use eoeappinstaller (does it) and feel comfortable with it. Thanks again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] orangiseng:
Nice job.

Still, I hope there is one for HTC_CIME keyboard.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fearendon:
First, this tool is great and makes skinning a whole lot easier, thanks for that!

One small annoyance though, I set up a skin (new user, can't link... my username is the same on the site) that is partly transparent. If I switch to uppercase letters the keyboard seems to lay the new set of keys on top of the other, with the lower case keys visible underneath. Is this an issue with HTC_IME itself or can this be fixed somehow?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
In the past this was caused by a bad ninepatch. Were you using custom keys or one already from the kitchen library? I thought I fixed the issue with custom keys and never seen it with the other ones in my library but I obviously haven't tried them all. I'm not near a pc right now but I will take a look at your history later and see what buttons you used and see if they need to be fixed or something.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fearendon:
I used half-transparent custom keys generated with your site. No custom images, just the gradients etc.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Very strange, another user pointed that out couple pages back and I fixed/tested and that user tested as well and confirmed my new ninepatch fixed it. I'll have to take another look at it tonight but should def be able to fix it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
Very cool man, like it a lot!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
yes, that´s fixed :)

(it´s perfect, only the smoothness of key´s edges ;))
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fearendon:
I attached a few screens showing the problem I've been having.

Screen 1 shows the normal set of keys. In screen 2 and 3 you can see the overlay effect after pressing shift. Screen 4 and 5 are the same problem with the other keysets.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
How long ago did you make this keyboard? I'm wondering if maybe you made it before I fixed the .9 patch the first time?

Regardless tho, if this is still happening it shouldn't for much longer as I unveil the new custom key creation tools (hopefully tonight or tomorrow at the latest).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fearendon:
I made the keyboard three days ago, so I guess the patch was already active? Anyway, looking forward to the improvements.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Nope

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fearendon:
I regenerated the keyboard, the bug still exists so I guess it's something different than what was fixed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
..but maybe your are right..and I just tested it with another transparency level.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] quertiy:
I don't understand, where are the links for the themes in the second post. I've enterd the site too, but couldn't find those specific themes.

sorry for being a noob, if this is the case.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Everything is in my skin kitchen. You will need to sign in there. If you want to make a skin identical or just close to one from second post then choose the option to start with a preset. It will "show" you what to select to generate that theme.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DIECAST61:
Please Help

I get an error message when I open the file with ASTRO,

after unzipping and openning with ASTRO It says it is unable to open the file as a .apk

I successfully installed the stock keyboard and clicker and activated it.

I have a DROID X.

What might be the problem?

THANKS for all the GREAT work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
For the most part, astro totally sucks. It's pretty, has some cool features, but when it comes to installing things it fails miserably. I recommend root explorer (not free but worth it IMO) or Linda file manager (free).

Try with a better file manager and let me know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DIECAST61:
Please help

Used Linda - error reads "There is a problem parsing the package."

Tried creating another apk and got the same error

Any suggestions?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hmmm doesn't make sense. When you say you installed the stock keyboard, which one are you talking about, exactly?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DIECAST61:
Jonasl's HTC_IME high res
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Yeah then there is no reason this shouldn't work. My kitchen generates files identical to his (except for the images, and text color changes of course).

Do you still have it installed? Can't imagine this would matter but if you do, try uninstalling his first maybe?

What is your username in my skin kitchen? I'll take a quick peak at the file being generated under your account too.

Edit: nm, username is the same as here, just found ya. gimme a min to try this.

Check out attached screenshot. Downloaded the the file from your directory on my server (the last one you generated) and installed first try with zero problem. Maybe it's getting corrupt in the download or something. Can you try downloading on a computer, unzipping then copying the apk to your sdcard and installing?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chrisanderin:
Is there any way to upload your own colored primary/function key instead of using the new generator... for example i made one using photoshop or paint but cant duplicate it with the new key generator.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
No not currently. Would be too difficult to get a good .9 patch on it unless it was the exact same dimensions. You could send it to me/upload it here and I can manually patch it and put it in library if you want.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DonDizzurp:
anyone have a theme thats similar to swype? to looks best on my phone but htc_ime is a million times better
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Did you sign into my skin kitchen in the first post? Not sure exactly what you mean, but should be able to make something pretty darn close to what you are looking for.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DonDizzurp:
lol i mean, the swype keyboard matches my phones theme perfectly..

ive tried your kitchen, amazing stuff but i cant find the perfect shade of blue..

its okay though, ill open up the swype apk and use an image from there as a custom with your kitchen
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sisterchick:
Incredible

This is REALLY cool tool. Thank you. Trying out the low-res on my G1 now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chrisanderin:
I know this is off thread but I cant find nor can I get it answered under its own thread.... I would like to make the button I long press on side of my droidx to do a different function then open my camera. I have read to go to settings and apps and choose quick launch but that option is not available...I am running 2.1 still. HELP PLEASE
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hmmm the nexus one themes and apps forum, specifically a thread about a theme generator for HTC_IME keyboard is probably the last place you are gonna find an answer to this question.. hahah sorry, but I have no clue.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chrisanderin:
LOL... I know but you guys on here seem to be geniuses so I thought I would try...thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teshxx:

anybody else getting this today ??? Also if i go to c what i have created it DOES show the skin i just created, but it never gives me a option to dl it. hope some one can help me

=====>>>> NEVERMIND its working again. :)))))
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DIECAST61:
Thanks

Sorry it took me a while to reply -- work interferes with pleasure. I'm guessing it is a problem with the file being corrupted via the download.

Finally got one downloaded and installed via the phone. THANKS for all your help!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pc747:
good product, been recommending it for some time. I know it says "htc" keyboard, but is there a chance we gonna get a chance to mod some droid 2/x keyboards. Would love to have my droid 2 keyboard modded through your program.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cdurrough85:
Im confused. I am using d1 with Ultimate droid rom. I downloaded the files and all. I have the htc keyboard and settings but I have no Idea how to get the theme there. It's just the regular keyboard.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Instructions are posted all over the place in this thread :)

You need to install it (the apk file within the zip file you downloaded) for starters. Have you done that yet?

Once installed, you will need to change to this keyboard as it's a completely separate "third party" keyboard.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
Is there any reason why the keys are off slightly on Galaxy? When I go to calibrate the red around the keys is slightly off of where the key is. Thanks for the help
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wazer1337:
Has anyone made a custom theme that looks excatly like the google stock keyboard?. For high ress froyo? if any dd that i would appricate if any would paste a link for it.

I tryed the theme online generator but it cannot move around with the keys?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
It´s not possible.

(Unless you know how to mod the apk and even then, i would be lots of work!!!)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
Would probably be best to ask in jonasl's main thread about the HTC_IME keyboard or in the galaxy thread to see if others have the same problem... I'd try completely uninstalling the HTC_IME apk (from all locations it could possibly be), regenerating the keyboard and installing again.... Never know that *could* work....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InspectorFrost:
Hi

Great concept

question please

Im using mcr8 (htc-ime mod baked in)

when i go to install apk (taken from .zip and placed on sd root) it tells me installation unsuccesful.

out of curiosity i installed mcr9 without htc-ime mod, thinking that would be the problem but i still get the same error when trying to install .apk

anyone have this working on mcr8 or 9 and if you do, is that with or without a version already baked into the rom

cheers

ps. been using astro to install
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
When it comes to doing anything usefull (especially installing or reinstalling apk files) astro typically falls on it's face. It's pretty but that's about it. Try with something like root explorer, linda file manager, or something that supports reinstalling (astro does not).

Also, make sure you delete any stray copies of HTC_IME.apk from /system/app or /data/app before trying to install it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InspectorFrost:
thanks man, im just reinstalling aps from back up, im gonna try again with a full wipe from mcr8 to mcr9, btw just trying to make another kb on your site, seems to be a timeout issue going on....could be my end tho

thanks fro the response

ill also bung a few quid your way if it works for me

thanks man
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MaliceOmega:
awesome generator dude. just rooted and modded my nexus one and this was an awesome addition. love the n1 logo for the spacebar btw. mucho kudos dude
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MaliceOmega:
i have one question. is there anyway to make the smiley menu stay up when i press that button. like the stock keyboard. i use smileys pretty frequently when im texting and id like to not have to hold the button down to select another besides the default. thanx in advance
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
You can customize what smilies are there (KB settings, user interface).... You can also edit the "popup delay value" (KB settings, text input).... Lower number, faster it comes up but be careful, can make typing hard if you go to low (I use 250ms).... Hope it helps a lil....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MaliceOmega:
ok good start. it did help but it counts for all the keys on the keyboard. is there anyway to set that on just the smiley key?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
There is no way to set it for just the smilies key, but, why would you even want to do that?

Having the popup delay set to 250ms (same number I use actually) for all the keys makes typing the secondary characters painlessly easy (for example, to type !, just hold a for a 1/4 second and it switches to !).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MaliceOmega:
that part i love about the keyboard. on the nexus stock kb you had to open up the secondary to type anything like that. i would only want it on the smiley key becuz i use a broad range of smileys when i text. i dont know y, i just do lol. its nothing thats gonna make me stop using the keyboard (having nexus one logo on my spacebar and custom colors was actually the biggest selling point lol) but it would be a welcome option. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
:DThank you for the custom primary/function key option!:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OSully:
Anyone having issues with lag? I seem to be experiencing a little lag when typing as opposed to the stock keyboard - I'm using a droid incredible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] negativedrew:
Brilliant! Just made an awesome Flyers keyboard.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kbadone:
same here, is there a way to change the green color to red or blue?:confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Not at the moment, but coming soon, complete customization of the WCL bar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
Ohhhhhh silent features? Leaks? Can't wait!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] seanbennett:
I am using a V27 hi-res froyo keyboard on my droid1...everything works EXCEPT when i try to calibrate it tells me "The application HTC_IME mod (process jonasl.ime) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." and only gives an option to force close. Any way i can fix this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
You need to install the clicker.apk for calibration. It's int he second post of this thread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] seanbennett:
where can i find that?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Haha for real? Did you even read my response? LOL.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kbadone:
Very good news indeed, waiting for the update;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] myn:
x2. EVO version would be great with the arrows.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SubyWill:
hahahahahahaha
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dadoc04:
very nice!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paul96:
are these keyboards just for a single phone or many?http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Virtually any hvga/wvga devices.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
just mad a sick joint.

thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thesparky007:
can we get an all black symbol set please?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Use the generate symbol set button and set both colors to black???

Edit, I forgot gradient symbol set is a different step, so even easier click that button and since black is default just click generate.....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mabute:
sorry if this was asked before, but do i to be rooted to do this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Joevisco:
Thx so much!!! i made a couple themes with the kitchen and they look beautiful on my x10!!! Thx!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] IthsSunnyB:
I how do i get sounds to work on this keyboard i enable it in settings no sounds....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lichti1901:
Thank you so much! Works perfectly!

Very great Job!!!:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] the_ahmadzais:
can someone tell me the color number for this blue? thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jdog94:
ok i cant figure where i am going wrong

i install the keyboard

go to steeing and enable it

but when i choose it in input method it will not pop up

any advise

running eris with froyo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] _Cooze_:
Username and Password required for the kitchens?? Did I miss something?

*** NEVER MIND.. GOTTA REGISTER.. DUH....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
so it shows in 'input method' but when you select it, it doesn't pop up?? Not following you here...

If it force closes after you select it, get a logcat (do not ask what a 'logcat' is :rolleyes:, google it, tons of threads on XDA about it) and paste the link here for @gimpsta to look at...

If it just doesn't show after you select it (and/or shows stock android keyboard) well then.... I have no ideas, wait for someone smarter!! :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Al3xxxinho:
I am looking for a keyboard that has the "hide keyboard button" in the low left corner instead instead of the smiley button :)

Do you think you can help me ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Look in keyboard settings and disable the smiley hack... ;-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Al3xxxinho:
You-re the man >:D< ... Thanks a lot :D

One more question ... Can you make it appear in the settings as Touch Input instead of HTC_IME mod ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hmmm any particular reason why you would want it to?

Jonasl specifically changed the package name a while back to make installation easier for those that do not have root and already have the Touch Input installed. I mean could probably change just the name that appears in settings, but again any particular reason why?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kame_boy:
Hi!

The orange san francisco recently got an alpha froyo rom. I have attempted to create a couple of htc_ime keyboards for it without success. Weird thing is that only a low-res froyo build worked (that is, it popped up at all), but it only covered the lower fourth of the screen.

So of course, some of us will be needing a working hi-res build for froyo. Is there anything you (or I) can do to get this working?

Edit: symptoms are: 1) Keyboard does not show up after choosing it as input method. 2) When browsing through the settings for htc_ime, it crashes back to the menu where one chooses between all of the keyboards installed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hmm there is a high res froyo are you sure you are using it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Al3xxxinho:
I don't know really ... I think it will look better on a stock rom ... anyway, would it be possible to give me the stock htc ime ? ( the one that comes with htc sense, and works on froyo ) ... without any tweaks, etc
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dreahdreah:
not sure what im doing wrong...is there a reason why the phone doesn't rotate when i have it in landscape? im using a non rooted evo, will there be the keyboard with the arrows for this soon?

also how many of these are you able to have on your phone at once?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kame_boy:
Yes i am sure. I find it very strange. Oh well it's an alpha build after all. Perhaps it is better to wait patiently for the rom to mature and hope the keyboard starts working. But if you happen to be in the San Francisco train, no harm done if you were to take a look at it :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bengrulz:
wish we could make they key border a custom color instead of just white or black...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fekish:
is there a way to get the droid x keyboard?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
This is coming, slowly. Have limited time these days to work on it but I'm completely rewriting the kitchen and this is one of the new features.

Hmm not sure I know what you mean. Pretty sure there is a port of the droidx keyboard that works on other phones/roms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thiasB:
same here. dialog doesn't pop up after choosing "input method". Running CM6_nighly_218 on Magic 32B.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Well this def works on cm6/magic. You are using a low res, FROYO version?

Then after installed you enabled in settings/keyboards?

THEN choose input method and should have it as an option.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Al3xxxinho:
so ... can you do that, please ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mich2Ga:
Great Job with this!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Completely stock? Look around for it, it's called touch input. It's likely going to be specific to your phone/rom/etc but there are versions of it all over the place.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Al3xxxinho:
Thank you ... I have a htc magic, and i've tried several apk's but without success ... I'm using android 2.2 tmobile.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aiamsam:

hello friends, can anyone tell me how to find out the resolution for my HTC EVO. I was going to download a HTC_IME mod keyboard and it asked me that question.

Thanks in advance...

Landscape issue

Sapphire Landscape background image is only showing up once applied to phone as roughly 1/3 of total image size.

This is on 2.2 hi res v. Using D1 Rooted. Up till a couple weeks ago I had no issues with this, Rom has not been changed
