The OMG HE'S STILL ALIVE upate

First big update in a while (few more to come shortly). The low res kitchen now sports a custom v27-froyo option. This has been tested on a MyTouch 3g with cyanogenmod 6 rc1 and latest nightly and is 100 working (no force closes, voice input works, etc).

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Are you guys using a froyo specific version? Depending on your phone either high res v27-froyo or low res v27-froyo. This def works on all versions of CM6 (I've flashed almost every nightly).

Are you trying to flash it by chance?? these aren't flashable update.zip's. Refer to first post if you need info on installing it.

Same as above, are you sure you are using the proper version for your phone? What do you have for a phone, what rom are you using?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FireDog31262:
Help! Keep getting force close when trying to use one of the keyboards generated from your site. I'm using an HTC Sprint Hero with the latest of the following rom. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731659

This is a Froyo 2.2 CM6 rom. Please help, I love the HTC_IME keyboard and would like to use it with this rom.

Force-Close here, too, using MCR r21 Froyo on my Nexus One.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
What version of the keyboard are you two using? You have to use a froyo version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] the orange bandit:
Yes, I used the High-Res v27 for Froyo option in the drop-down. I had the HTC_IME baked into r21, so I used Linda to install over that. Rebooted after install, same issue.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hmmm it might be conflicting with the existing install, either the apk or a lib file. Try deleting /system/app/HTC_IME.apk (have to mount /system as read/write, not sure if linda can do that but root explorer and android mate are both file browsers that can) and /system/lib/libt9.so and then try installing it.

If that fails (oh and take a nandroid backup before doing this if you want, you could also "backup" those files and put them back after if you were so inclined) if you could get me output of logcat during the crash I could probably sort out what it is.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FireDog31262:
I used the Froyo hi-res v27 also, and I don't have a libt9.so file in my /system/lib dir.

Edit: Saw in an earlier post that the lo-res for 1.5 was working with froyo, so I gave that a try and got it working on my phone....Sweet. Life is good now. Thanks all for the help.

gIMpSTa i am a noobe,but very capable. I have rooted my DInc, installed Froyo (first ota), changed my battery icon to the circle one and updated the icons on top of my screen. So i am not that much of a noobe, But i cant get your keyboard to work for me.

I have tried low res froyo 27, hi res froyo27 , i even tried non froyo and a v15 cause someon said it worked in teh post. i see the keyboard in language & keyboard (settings), but it never pops up when i send a test or e-mail. What am i doing wrong?

I would post a pic, but i don't have many postes. I have read a lot, but don't usually have issues. Thanks

PS. kudos to you for creating this!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
i have the EVO with fresh and the kb is installed already ... used the kitchen and picked the newest hi-res version for froyo and everything worked great on my Fresh ROM ...

going forward for when i want to change the theme .. do i just install the next apk file right over the one i have?

*** update

everything was working fine ... then started noticing a delay when typing and phone looking up words .. would theming cause a delay with kb

then i made a nandroid backup and when phone reset and i pulled up kb .. it was no longer themed ....

i tested and there was no more delay but no more theme

dont think this theming stuff on the kb is pretty stable on froyo as of yet

i tried to install the apk again to install the theme again and received an error of:

application not installed

when i go to /system/app/ i see htc_ime.apk and htc_imehi22.apk

where is that imehi22.apk coming from .. in the kitchen i picked v27hi ... ??

in the changelog of fresh it states:

HTC_IME Mod High Res v.27 keyboard — This keyboard has a ton of features. I have included this keyboard and the stock one. To change which keyboard you use just do a long press on a text input field.

i also have libt9.so and libt99.so

have u rebooted your device as of yet or run a nanadroid backup?

i am happy to hear that i am not the only one with the issue ... so i think we narrowed it down to people who are rooted running froyo that are having an issue ...

i am running fresh ROM .. what are the rest of u guys running and was the KB preinstalled already with the ROM?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mindtwista:
i do the same, but it also doesn´t work...

how did you do that, to make it working??

then remove those files again ... reboot phone ...

then try and install KB ... u picking the correct version .... hi res v27 and FROYO if that is what your ROM is running
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] caramelcarebr:
I tried reading this thread before asking a possibly annoying noob question and this is as close as I got to a "fix"

I'm having issues getting the themed keyboard installed. I have an unrooted evo running ota 2.2. I had the issue where my mac was unzipping everything so I put the zip directly onto the phone. Opened the apk via astro and the only options are to uninstall and launch. So I uninstalled and then reinstalled using the themed apk>>fc. Reinstalled htc_ime_jonasl_hires22_27.zip which is working fine, only I can't install the clicker_hi. It attempts to install and then says "App not installed" So I guess my questions are:

1. How do I get the clicker_hi to install

2. Once that's installed, how do I get my themed htc_ime kb installed as well

Any help is appreciated :)

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Sounds like you are not selecting a froyo version from my kitchen. On the first screen (after clicking create from scratch or clicking a preset) first question is what version. If you aren't changing this screen then you are using v27-high res rather then v27-froyo high res.

Clicker probably isn't installing due to you already having one installed. If that's the case, nothing to worry about it. From within HTC_IME mod, try going to the keyboard settings (long press the mic/gear button) and goto calibrate keyboard. If it force closes then you need Clicker.apk, if it takes you into calibration then you are all set.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] caramelcarebr:
I was just about to come back and edit that I figured out that I accidentally bumped the up arrow on your kitchen after selecting the froyo version. So going through again and creating it in the correct version. Thanks for the quick reply! And I will go and checkout the calibration thing and hopefully that works, because I feel like the keyboard pre 2.2 was more "multi-touch-ie" than the froyo version, so I'm hoping it just needs to be calibrated.

EDIT: Went to calibration in settings and it fc'd. :( Theme kb is working though, albeit kinda crappy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
What phone/rom? Rooted? If yes, look for/system/app/Clicker.apk with a file browser that supports root/write access to /system and delete that file then try to install clicker hi.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] caramelcarebr:
I'm on an unrooted evo, so I need another option :-(

Had the hardest time using better keyboard as a default while waiting for an update for this one for froyo.

This is how I got it fixed. I went to ROM manager and removed clicker from system/apps then I reset phone. Then install the clicker hi. Zip from first post, unzip. And install apk, reboot phone, my phone got Stuck on boot animation but I took out battery and booted again and I was golden. Calibration now works. You need that new version of clicker.

First off, I must say that I love the work you have done. I love the ability to customize our own skins.

However, I know you can disable the fullscreen UI in Landscape mode and it works great in text messeges and so forth but I have noticed that it seems to get stuck (in terms of being able to scroll up and down).

Example, in my email, after a few lines, the bottom options (Send, Save as Draft, and Discard) seem to come up and block off most of the page and can not scroll them back down. Also, in Documents to Go, a black box appears as soon as you start typing (not rooted otherwise I would give screen shots) that does the same thing. Grrrr.

Any suggestions or help??

Super appreciated!!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] the orange bandit:
Ugh, I've tried everything I can think of (including several things suggested in this thread.)

I'm running MCR r21 and I re-baked *without* HTC_IME installed, so I'm installing this fresh. I first installed the Clicker_hi from the OP, then installed my themed (v27 FROYO) keyboard. It installs fine, I can run through the calibration, but I get nothing but FC when I try to actually *use* the keyboard.

I did some snooping in the MCR r21 ROM that I had previously baked with HTC_IME pre-installed and noticed that the file name is 'htc_ime22_v27' - that's different from what I get through the kitchen. Will renaming the kitchen apk fix it, you think, or is there more to it than that?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Yeah there is def more to it than that.

Possibly a stray libt9.so or libt99.so somewhere. Try using root explorer (or something with root access and search function) and search in the root (/) for "libt9" without the quotes. Delete any libt9.so or libt99.so.

If that fails, get me a logcat of the crash.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] the orange bandit:
Found one libt99.so in jonasle/data/ - deleted it. Reinstalled the Clickerhi.apk and apk from the kitchen, same result.

How do I get you a logcat?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Easiest way if you aren't familiar with adb/logcat it is to download the app alogcat. Run it, start logging/clear log hit home and immediately try to launch the keyboard (so that it force closes while alogcat is running) hit the force close button then long press home to go back to alogcat and stop logging. send that file to my xda username @ gmail.

hi guys - wondered if i can get some help ?

I downloaded the modaco r8 ROM with this keyboard already installed and then found I could change all the colours etc. At first I couldn't install the new file, but I went into the system/apps and deleted the two HTC_IME files - it then installed fine but resets back to standard colours everytime I reboot ?

how do I make it stay :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
It's still installed somewhere else then. Perhaps in /data or /sd-ext or an equivalent (if you use apps2sd). There is absolutely no way the file downloaded from my site can "revert" back to stock colors as the stock image files are replaced, and code is modified to set the text color, remove shadow layer, etc. Look for any other HTC_IME's you can remove either manually or through settings/applications.

After much trouble...

So after messing around with this for a while, installing new ROMs and what have you, I've finally figured out a problem (at least so far as my Aloysius Hero is concerned) which people seemed to be doing weird things with in this thread.

My problem was my ROM keyboard (v24) kept overwriting the custom skins I was making, and if I tried to install v27 straight from ASTRO or ES it would just kill the IME mod all together.

What worked for me, not sure about anyone else, was removing htc_ime.apk via adb shell, then pushing my custom keyboard onto my phone via adb push. I don't know why it worked, I don't really care, but perhaps this would help a few of you still struggling with getting the mods to stick on your phone.
