There are really only a couple possible explanations of this. First off, it's entirely impossible that the file sitting on my server when you get to the download page is anything but what you selected while making it. During the generation of the keyboard, it uses a completely random temp directory to store the images and code. This directory is deleted as soon as it's done (unless one of the scripts error out, but then you won't go to the download page).

Either it's not reinstalling properly (less likely) or you are having a cache problem (more likely, and meaning you aren't downloading the new file but using whatever is cached on your machine). Are you downloading on a computer or direct to your phone? If on computer, try direct to phone or a different browser, if on phone try on computer.

Sorry for this question but read over 40 pages and couldnt find answer,a friend just got samsung intercept with 240x400 screen res,did a lo res keyboard and doesnt fit on his screen,is it not possible for him and if it is what v should i suggest he use? thanks and God bless and sorry again if its already been answered but i couldnt find it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bluetooth_decay:
What ROM are you running? Reason I ask is that I cannot get it working, either.

I'm on Virtuous 2.5, rooted and S-OFF. I downloaded my generated keyboard, installed with Astro, and saw the extra options in the Language & Keyboard settings, so I assume it is there. But when the keyboard pops up in an app, it is still the stock one. Tried rebooting and uninstalling/reinstalling, but no luck yet.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
have you long press the text area (any text box I believe), selected input method, and then selected HTC_IME mod??? :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JWMayes:
I keep getting a force close, any ideas?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bluetooth_decay:
That did it, once I turned on (again) HTC IME mod in settings. Thanks.

But the one I built didn't have the "dismiss keyboard" button. Back to the drawing board :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
You're using a froyo Rom and not a froyo keyboard? Dunno, need more info to help. What Rom, version of keyboard, phone?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] davefromohio:
Please,anyone?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JWMayes:
Wow, I feel super stupid. Im an idiot, thanks. I thought I had selected froyo, apparantly not.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
There is no version of this particular keyboard mod currently available for that phone. There is a stock HTC_IME keyboard that I believe will work at that resolution, but not with Jonasl's improvements and not part of this skin kitchen.

The theme generator works great... but I am unable to calibrate on my Droid Incredible. When I try, it FC's on me.

I've tried to update the clicker.apk but it won't load.

This is a stock, rooted with S-OFF Droid Incredible with 2.2
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zhdenny:
I have a Dinc and was able to Calibrate in 2.1 but not in 2.2. I am using V26-Froyo on the phone sicne V27 would FC constantly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rcrott1:
is there a way to have more than one custom skin on your phone at once?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chrisanderin:
When I create a theme and transfer it to my phones SD card, I open my app installer and cant find it on my phone to install from the kitchen. Can anyone help please.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
You both probably need to remove the stock clicker.apk from /system/app before installing the clicker.apk from jonasl's thread.

No, well you could save all the apk's and reinstall with something that supports reinstalling (root explorer, linda, not astro file manager, I don't think)

app installer looks for .apk files and maybe you are transferring the whole zip to your sdcard? Install linda file manager (or any file manage really) and goto wherever you saved it to on your phone and long press/extract the zip file. when done, click the apk file that extracted and install with app manager, or similar action depending on what file manager app you chose to use.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zer0day:
Is possible to download the presets? In particular, I'm looking for this one:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Yes, read first post, sign into kitchen. If you still can't figure it out let me know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] krelvinaz:
That did the trick! Thx

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PeRRiiN:
This may be a dumb question but what is the Clicker.apk app for?

But most importantly...do I need to install that app first if I want to install the custom keyboard I made and downloaded from your site?

I'm on CM6 Stable using a nexus one.

The keyboard I made was a v27 Froyo High Res.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Clicker.apk is for keyboard calibration. You only need to install it if you want to recalibrate the keyboard (if you feel like the touch is off, eg hitting the wrong buttons).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Cool!

Thanks, saw the donation!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PeRRiiN:
Oh okay, I get it now.

Thank you for responding.

One last question though, from experience and from you being the creator...would you recommend that I install that app? Or is it very unusual that the keys might be off?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Meh, I didn't create the keyboard, only this utility for skinning it. Jonasl is responsible for the mods.

However, I'm obviously pretty familiar with it. It's really a personal preference. You don't need to install it now, try it out and if you find that you think it's "off" a bit, then install it and calibrate.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PeRRiiN:
Thank you.

I'll follow your advice.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mats Sundin:
This is absolutely Unbelievably Amazing. Hey I know it's just a keyboard, but it is the Ultimate in being able to customize and express a dash of our personality. Especially for those of us that are Programming illiterates. Now I know what a friend of mine was boasting about and awing over what he loved over at Modaco. He said they have a kitchen like this for ROMS.

I can't thank you enough for all the HARD HARD work you must of put into this. I hope you have a Donation Link, because I am ready to break open the wallet. The quote comes to mind, "If you build it, they will come." Keep up the great work Sir. Maybe one day you would want to take on the Mega Task of Doing the same for Roms. :-) Again, Many Kudos.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PeRRiiN:
Everything is working great, thank you.

But I was wondering, do I need to have the stock kayboard (LatinIME.apk) installed for my custom one to work?

Or can I just rename my custom keyboard apk to LatinIME.apk and push it to /system/app/LatinIME.apk so that it overwrites the stock one?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] igor7:
Great thread!! I created my own skin for default keyboard on my HTC Desire!

I just have question... It is possible some how add support for more languages?

Personally I looking for adding Hebrew to HTC_IME keyboard.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
Settings, Language/Keyboard, HTC_IME mod Settings, Keyboard language.... thats to change the language but, Alas, I don't see Hebrew!! Have to ask Jonasl in his thread it you would like hebrew support ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] boety:
Thanks, really cool feauture! :D

Sneak peak at upcoming feature!!!

So, this has been by FAR the biggest request I receive from the kitchen. Here is are a couple of sneak peaks of what's coming!

Code is 100% in place, just needs some testing before I turn it on for everyone. Look for it in place tomorrow morning(ish) as I'm too tired to give it an appropriate test tonight.

And
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
That is awesome man!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Kitchen Update!

Without further ado, the number one requested feature has now made it into the kitchen (high res only for now, will work on porting it over to low res once I'm confident there aren't any bugs).

For your skinning pleasure, you can now create your own primary/function keys in the skin kitchen! You can create solid colors, gradients, rounded corners or square keys, set the transparency level of the keys, etc etc.

For those that aren't in the technical know of .9 patching, there is ALOT of stuff happening behind the scenes here to make this possible. I've tested it a handful of times but as there are now 2 servers involved (the server the kitchen is hosted on, and a VPS that handles the .9 compiling), there is plenty of room for error. Please report any issues with this new system directly in this thread or via the contact form in the kitchen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Woooow..a great update!!!!!! :cool::cool:

Great work I would like to change the icons but when I open up the cynogen one (change apk to .zip) and replace the file for the icon with the same size one and name it won't install. Any idea on how to fix it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Cant wait for it :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MrCapcom:
I made these I dunno if u wanna include with the OP or w/e but figure I would share:

Hey Collective! MrCapcom here and I had a couple minutes at work and figured I would whip these up.

I'm a big fan of Capcom games (surprise right? I know ^_^) so I figured I would make some MegaMan

Keyboards. I saw gIMpSTa over at XDA make some sweet skins and I just swapped out some icons.

So except for the Icons give a big thanks to gIMpSTa and Jonasl over at XDA for with out them I wouldn't

have been able to make these :-)

Heres how to install

Put zip file on root of sdcard and flash from recovery like any rom or theme update.zip

Note: I'm running the latest Cynogen Mod Rom with the Newest Version of ROM Manager and these all work!

Tennessee Titans

gIMpSTa,

What are the odds of getting a solid blue keyboard using the Tennesse Titans color with a Titans Dagger on the keyboard space button!?!? :-) I would absolutely love it! Thank you Droid-Life for pointing me to this site! I love this keyboard!!!!!!!!!! :-) ;-)

Or even better yet!!! A (columbia blue - that's the official color) keyboard with the old Oil Derrik for the HOUSTON OILERS on the spacebar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd do a lap dance for that!!

Thank you for your consideration,

Jonathan

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] techjunkie24:
Awesome!

Great keyboard skins dude! I hope you keep updating with new ones....I check in everyday to see what's new. How do you create them?

How about red keys (not a bright bright red) with white letters, one with a black background and one with a white background. I think that would look kinda cool.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Would be Great :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jstkdn:
I did a search for Ohio & Cleveland and didn't get any results, so I'm gonna trhrow this out there. Is there any way that you could make an Ohio State (OSU) keyboard? (I think if you just threw red letters on your original dark skin, and put the Block O or Brutus on the space bar, you could call it OSU) Also, how about a Cleveland Browns keyboard?

If the answer to either or both of these is "Yes" then a donation will be made to help with that kegerator!

Report bugs in this thread or http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/requests.php ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Either is fine, but here is probably better just so don't end up with 25 reports of the same thing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
See the keys..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Crap, looks like a poor .9 patch. Probably need to tweak my .9 mask that gets applied to the images.

Might be couple hours before I can fix it (working now) but should be able to fix it pretty quickly. Thanks for finding/reporting this!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Don´t hurry, like waiting for great work!!

------

Just to let you know:

keys were set to 80% transp....

Did another keyboard, no transparency, had same result.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I *think* i fixed this (had a few mins so took a quick crack at tweaking the .9 mask). I just made a keyboard and toggled thru shift/caps/no shift and didn't get the ghosted letters behind them like your screenshots showed.

Trustfully tho, I didn't test it before hand to make sure I could recreate it before trying to squash the bug...

Any chance you could try again and post your results? You will (probably obvious) need to recreate your custom keys before trying.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Ok, will do right now...

Ahh, forgot to tell you about the background image(probably you know already):

Seems like it can´t decide, whether to take port or land..sometimes only bg image from port appears in landscape mode.

Edit: fixed :)

This is:

-without any transparency

-custom primary & function keys

..........................................

Did I miss the backgr.bug ? or is it new (as mentioned before) ?

.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Sweeeeeeeeeeet, thanks dood! I was pretty sure I had fixed it but had limited ability to test it at the moment.

re: background, never saw this one specifically (land/port getting swapped) but I do know background has been buggy in this keyboard in general. Like the apps that draw their own container behind the keyboard, interfering with the transparent background. I will look into it tho! Thanks again for pointing the other bug (and this for that matter) out and for taking the time to test it!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
opened themed apk...see what I found for landscape
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
ahhh that's weird hahah.

Looks like you are using custom background for the last one you made. Question, when you chose custom background, which method did you use? Uploading separate land/port images, setting background color, and/or uploading an overlay?

Seems to be a bug in the custom background, regardless. Should be another easy fix for later.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
I uploaded the original background from jonasl´s file.

Uploaded only 1 file.

Did I miss the function to upload background for landscape mode?

Edit: probably I should have renamed it..damn..(kept original name:sapphire_port_background.png)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
ahhhh yes, that is exactly the problem then. The upload option is more for an overlay, ie upload an image and center in the middle of a background of chosen color. Which is precisely why it looks the way it does :)

Yeah, the advanced option is a link (kind of blends in with the descriptive text at the top). I chose not to make it a super obvious link (tho I should probably separate it a bit from that text) to avoid confusing "non-advanced" type users.

Edit:

Just moved the link down one line to make it stick out a little more. This is the line with the option to do separate land/port "Advanced Users: Click here to upload separate portrait and landscape backgrounds."

It will have you do portrait first, then landscape once port is done.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
ups...:"Use the color selector below and then click generate background,

your new image will appear at the bottom of the backgrounds screen.

You may also upload an image to overlay ontop of the generated background."

I did not read that..my bad!!!:o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
Yippee!!

Its great to see this thread alive again!! Way to go gIMpSTa!!! :D:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
haha thanks dood.

couple minor additions to the latest update, can now do white border for buttons and optionally set the gradient step (make it "less smooth").
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
So, I tried a couple of layouts..but unfortuntely, I always go back to default unthemed keyboard.

I attached to versions.

1.) themed in your kitchen

2.) default

see the red marked bugs, is it possible to fix that?

- key edges are not smooth (see 00.jpg)

- pressed pop up does not fit

- when changing languages, text is dark (which is no prob on the monitor, but usually it´s hard to see...)

but: your themed keyboards are much sharper, as you see ..:-)

.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I will work on smoothing out the edges a bit and fix the pressed/down state of the key (never really thought to check that with the new keys).

Ah yes the text for the language change. I had originally debated on making that another option that could be set in the kitchen but thought it might confuse some people. I think I ended up taking whatever value you have in the bottom box on the page of the kitchen that asks for text colors (color for the :) and #12 buttons) and using that. So if that's black, it ends up black. I'll have to look at this tonight and either just disable that for now (so the language text always stays white) or add in another option to manually set that text color.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Thanx :) !!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
1 - not fixed yet, but will try to clean up the image masks tonight to get a sharper border

2 - fixed, see screenshot

3 - fixed, see screenshot, language text will always be white until/if I add in an option to change it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I'm really not sure the best way to make the rounded corners smoother, I tried a few different things but they ended up looking like garbage.

If anyone out there with better graphics skills then I wants to take a crack at cleaning up my mask, here it is with some sample files and a brief explanation of how it works.

An 80px x 62px image is auto generated based on the gradient options you entered, sample:

The mask is chosen based on your border options (in this case black rounded corners), which would be this file:

The mask file is overlayed on top of the gradient file. Anything in the mask that is white (small border on the outside edge of the mask, may be hard to see at first) gets "converted" to transparent in the final product. The 1px black line is the border of the button (not limited to black or 1px, just simply cannot be white/#FFFFFF). And finally, the transparent area in the middle of the mask is to show the gradient "underneath" the mask layer. Final output would look like this:

So if anyone wants to try to modify that mask, feel free to right click / save as and give it a shot. You can use the gradient image as a background layer in photoshop or similar to get an idea of how it will look.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JAYNO20:
Great work on the custom setup here, it is really nice to have the options for a lot of this stuff... Big question for me is:

Is there a multi touch version of this available yet?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chrisanderin:
I am VERY sorry if this is a repeat question but its hard to read all 80+ pages in one day to get an answer LOL

I am a noob.... I know what Froyo is but what is the difference in all the versions?

The Kitchen is awesome but I cant get one to work on my Motorola Milestone from this generator. I have one on there that is like the evo but I want a custom one from here... PLEASE HELP
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fabioccoelho:
Greeaaaaaaaat work @gIMpSTa. You are the man :D

It´s all!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
There is a multitouch version of htc_ime if that's what you are asking? This kitchen is specifically for Jonasl's mod of HTC_IME which is entirely different then the multitouch IME.

You would want to use high res, then if you have a froyo/2.2 rom you will need to use a -froyo version otherwise a normal version. The individual version numbers (ie v27, v26, v25) are just different versions of Jonasl's HTC_IME mod. v27 being the latest.

Thanks!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
trying...

-left is yours

-1. try is the right one..not easy..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Sweet! I"ll give it a shot in a bit and see how it looks!

Thanks for attempting!

Edit: Hmm I think I'm going to run into a similar problem because I need to "cut" the center of that button out (to make that part transparent for the overlay) so the pixels are going to lose their "partial transparency" look that they have along the inside border now (the non solid black pixels that go around the edge and near the corners to smooth it over).

However, I thought of another possible solution to this last night that may work way better and open up even more customization. I *think* I can do this without the whole gradient base/overlay mask crap that I'm doing now. I'm going to try to render the button shape and fill it with gradient via code, rather then merging 2 files together as a mask. This *should* allow for much higher quality graphics.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chrisanderin:
is there anyway to two tone letters ie blue and gold letters for WVU?

is there anyway to remove keys or move them to a different spot?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I don't understand what you mean two tone the letters?

If you mean the font color, ie "QWERTYUIOP" across the top row, then no, that is straight text which can only be a solid color. You can set the alternate characters (text above each letter) to a different color if you want, and you can make whatever color keys you want, but fonts are one solid color.

No there is no way to remove keys or move them to different spot or anything like that. Would require MASSIVE changes to assembly code as the only source available for this project is Jonasl's mods.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chrisanderin:
Thanks gIMpSTa... ur awesome will def be donating
