I am new at this and could use some help. I downloaded the HTC_IME keyboard the first time and it was half the size of the keyboard. I am trying again and I keep getting a error Zip file corrupt error. Please help as I would like to have the capability to switch to different color keyboard..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Hey gIMpSTa!

I like this stuff very much! Thanks for this.

But can you add an Option to change the colors of the green keys while pressing the buttons?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NilsP:
Super job gIMpSTa

I was in the process of manually creating a custom keyboard for my ROM's and this has the potential of saving me a lot of work.

I already created one that is close (Froyo HiRes) so I submitted you new graphics (via your kitchen) for the primary and function keys which would seal the deal for me.

Thanks.....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Thanks, I'll check em out. Have they already been properly .9 patched?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Shroomster:
Hey Gimpsta hope you or someone else can answer this for me

I have a mytouch3g original (no 3.5 jack)

and I just got froyo, the original htc_ime I had doesn't work (going from 1.6 to 2.2)

I just got your version to work.

Do I need to d/l the 'clicker' calibration tool also now?

THANKS!

-Jason
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Is this not possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
The green when pushing buttons? Are you talking about the word suggestions bar on the top?

If that's what you mean, that is coming "soonish". I am rewriting the entire kitchen and this is a feature in the new version. No ETA at the moment, but I'm working on it as I have free time.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yes, that's it.

I'm glad, to hear it.

Very cool.

If you need some help...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NilsP:
Yes, they are.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bigfudge:
EDIT: If youre using a ROM that includes the keyboard already and you want to install your own, make sure you uninstall the one preloaded (I had to do this through titanium backup) and then restart your phone before trying to install the apk.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Shroomster:
:UPDATE: just d/l'd clicker calibration from v27 lo-res and it's working....text input is now spot on.....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martinjochimsen:
Different languages

Hi gIMpSTa

It's a great project you have going here.

I'm sorry if my question has been posted before but 93 pages is TOO much to read through.

I live in Denmark and I normally use the Scandinavian keyboard with some extra special characters (ÆØÅ/æøå). Is it possible to get other languages for the keyboard?

Martin :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Murd0ck:
the T9 will replace A with Æ in Able/Æble and so on like with the normal android keyboard.

OP:

and on another note is there any possebility for the last keys in the CM style to get the CM style colors also ?

i tryed myself to color them from the nexttheme with some less hue and contrast seems i hit the color pretty good i´ll attach the png´s here so you can see
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Murd0ck:
Sorry for an ekstra i where limited to 8 uploads max..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mich2Ga:
Can't install on Myn's Rom, he uses the same APK, can't install over it either. Any Suggestions?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NilsP:
Have you had a chance to look at these button graphics for me?

Thanks

Nils
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
completely remove it from any location it could be in, i'd use titanium backup.... Once removed should install fine....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OnEnExUsOnE:
Everything works great! except every time I try and use the calibration tool if FC's. anyone else had that?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
You need to install an appropriate Clicker.apk for your version (high or low res). If you follow the link from first post of this thread to jonasl's thread, download the proper version for your phone, it will contain clicker.apk for your resolution.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OnEnExUsOnE:
Thank you! its all fixed now :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Phateless:
Thank you! This thing is super awesome and works like a charm.

I apologize if this has already been answered in this 94 page thread, but where do you find the low-res clicker?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
Would be excused if it wasn't about 3 posts above you.... :eek::eek::eek:

First post of thread, go to jonasl thread, find the one for your resolution phone
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] blinkfan182:
hy i try useing this one but it does not resize correctly.

but no forecloseing

did uninstall all the ime mod files i installed till now and reinstalled lowres clicker and lowres froyo v27 ime mod from skin kitchen (gimsta.com)

does anyone knows what will help?

i`m using wildfire with cm6.1 rc2

thanx blinkfan
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NilsP:
@gIMpSTa If you don't have time to get to these graphics for me please let me know how to edit the apk. No matter what I do I can not get the graphics changed. There is something about the format of the apk that apktools does not like. I de-compile, change the images, recompile and install and then FC. I have even tried extracting the res folder wit 7zip, and adding the images that way with the same results.

Thanks for your help

Nils
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
There is no version of this keybaord for your wildfire, sorry.

Sorry, haven't had a lot of time, but I will try to get them in there today. I'm not familiar with apktools as I do my editing manually, but this is no different then a standard APK file.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NilsP:
Thanks

How do you do it manually?

I tried changing the images and just dropping them in the apk and it will install but force close. Probably the signature.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Yes the signature, when you change a non system app you need to resign it. Your options are to resign it with any valid key (you can get the source code package from jonasl's thread to use his keys if you want), or to push it to /system/app (it will run from there unsigned).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NilsP:
I have tried signing, not signing, pushing it to /system/app and regular installs with no luck. So, I will wait until you have time the post the new images and I will rebuild from your kitchen.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NilsP:
@gIMpSTa - I have come to one final conclusion. You are the only person (with Jonasl) in the world that can modify this apk and it works.

I have tried everything including signing it, not signing it, signing it with original certs, manually copying in images, using straight apktools to de-compile and re-compile, de-compiling the original and recompiling it without changes, cooking it into the ROM (system/app and data/app) standard install, and no matter what I do it force closes on first use.

My only guess is the difference in frameworks that my apk does not understand or I am not sizing the images correctly but that does not account for just copying in new images of the same size, so

I do have another guess and that is I am not getting

I GIVE UP.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Strange, sorry for the delay but they are now in the kitchen, try it out and let me know if that works for you now!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NilsP:
Fantastic. I will try it right mow.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NilsP:
Overall they look exactly like I wanted but I guess maybe I messed up on the size (not good at editing .9.png's) since all buttons are touching. Is there any chance you can shrink them in the image so they are the same size as your default black ones so there is gap between the buttons?

Thanks..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
They should resize automatically being .9's but maybe the images are just too big overall, you can always set the keyboard height/width adjustment in settings to like -3 px or something to add a gap manually. Editing them now would be harder for me without original source files (psd or whatever) or something as the glass/glow effect is likely going to get distorted when the image content gets shrunk.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NilsP:
I hear you. I will try the re-size option. I didn't even think about that.

What is the optimal size of the originals if I can redo them?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
There are different sizes for different keys, allthough for the most part you can stick with the dimensions of the two basic keys (one for landscape one for qwerty/portrait).

Attached is an example of a black key straight out of my kitchen, one folder for the primary keys that get changed and one for the function/secondary keys.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] XGaSpAcHo:
ok maybe i'm not seeing something. i tried installing the two apks in the zip file but they were already installed. i'm guessing it was part of my rom.

but what i can't seem to figure out is how to apply one of the custom keyboard skins. where do i go to chose one?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I'm not sure I follow you then? Which 2 apk files did you try to install?

Create a custom apk from the links at the bottom of the first post in this thread, the zip file should contain one single apk file, install that and select it as your keyboard like you would any other keyboard.

If you can't install it due to it being a part of your rom already, then you will need to uninstall/remove it first. Use titantium backup, root explorer, or something that has root abilities and remove touch input or /system/app/HTC_IME.apk.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mich2Ga:
Just did that & will see... Using Myn's Rom & do not like the keyboard @ all.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mich2Ga:
Installed Perfectly. You should put this @ the begining of this great post. Lots on Myn's Rom want a different keyboard. I find that this is the only dislike about the whole Rom...

Thank You

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] javier_trevino90:
ok im having the same problem, but after i did all that, its not letting me install, evertime i go to install it, it says Application not installed. i deleted the file "HTC_IME.apk" but under it theres a file called "HTC_IME_hi22.apk" does that have something to do?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hmmm there are a lot of images involved in the keyboard skin, which one are you talking about? Any of the steps that allow custom upload have a button at the top that you can click.

Delete any HTC_IME*.apk from /system/app before installing it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] temekio2000:
I'll give it a go gimpsta thanks I did a cowboys skin but they getting thr but kicked :-(

Sony Ericssson X8

I recently acquired an X8 and the only thing that was missing from it in comparison with my X10 was your's/Jonasl's amazing keyboard. Well I say the only thing obviously there are a few things, but you know on a day to day basis the 8's keyboard was a flipping nightmare.

I have been given a link to the following keyboard that works on the X8 (so possibly the mini's?) and I know I read somewhere that you said there wasn't one available for their particular resolution.

http://rapidshare.com/files/430962212/htc_ime_mod.rar

So just wondered now that one is out there, is it something that can be added to your kitchen. I have four different colour schemes on my X10 and would love to be able to mod this one too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Croak:
You know what the world needs now?

The world needs Gimpsta's kitchen and Jonasl's IME mod working with even higher res devices. Such as the 1024x600 tablets. Hint, hint.

Not that I have any vested interest. But my Galaxy Tab would love to use the keyboard I can't live without on my smartphones. :)

custom skin for htc Evo

I downloaded my customer skin, and when I flashed it with ROM Manager, my keyboard layout didn't changed. What should I do to properly install this app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
it's not a flashable *.zip.

you unzip the *.apk inside the zip file and just install the *.apk as a normal app.

after that you can enable the keyboard in settings/language & keyboard

custom skin for htc Evo

I have the same issue. I have the Evo 4G for Sprint.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 1234556789:
I like it - but there is one thing what i need to do it:

the letters are to small. Does this feature will come in future ?

Soory to say it, but of course it looks better if i skinn it, but my eyes arer not the best and so it is better for me if the letters are better to see.

But it it great at all.

Thanks for it and sorry for my poor englisch.

kind regards

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Phateless:
I ran one of your custom keyboards for a couple of weeks no problem. I installed it via file manager and it worked fine.

Today I uninstalled it and then pushed THE SAME APK FILE to system/app because i figured it would run quicker that way.

Endless force closes no matter what. What is the missing link??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hard saying without a logcat or something to look at, but you are probably missing libt9.so or a similar library that gets copied in when you install the app but not when just push it.

Truthfully tho, it's probably not going to "run quicker" that way. Once the app is open/cached it shouldn't make a difference where it is stored.

Edit: If you insist on running it from /system you could also try installing it normally, then adb push the apk to /system/app then DELETE (don't uninstall) the .apk from /data/app or /sd-ext/app or wherever else it is installed. Doing it that way *should* leave the required files in place.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Phateless:
Hmm, so even on a slow-ass mytouch you don't think I'd see any benefit from running it out of /system/app instead?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
My opinion and understanding of the way things work, no you won't see any difference. I could be completely wrong and of course there is no harm in trying it.

The only thing I could possibly see making any difference would be the initial load of the keyboard (like on first boot, and also assuming you have it on sd card, because /data and /system are the same nand so there really is no benefit to moving it between those 2) could happen slightly faster (seconds? milliseconds?) Once the keyboard has been opened, it's running out of dalvik-cache no matter where it was originally opened from, so I don't know if you are going to really notice any difference.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Phateless:
Hmm, yeah I see your point. In terms of access time it's moot.

I actually wiped cache and dalvik after uninstalling everything before rebooting and reinstalling through Linda to get back to where I was in the first place. Do you think there any remnants floating around I should clean up?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] moonsbabe:
Made me a keyboard yesterday. It worked just fine. Today everytime that I try it fails telling me that it isn't signed properly. Help!! LOL!

never mind! Stupid me forgot to unzip! Amazing that I can function in life without unzipping!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Phateless:
lol, what did you do, push the entire zip straight to system/app?

Other than that...I don't have an answer for ya. :p

Ditto :)

Also, what kind of phone are you using, what did you get for an error and/or what happened when you tried all 3 methods?

Droid "application not installed"

Thanks so much for these keyboard themes! When I attempt to install with eirthe method, I gen an error "application not installed" I have no problem installing the clicker application but not the keyboard. I may have remnants of on old HTC keyboard somewhere....could that be the problem? Is there a file or directory I should look for and delete/rename? .....Yes I have checked the box to allow non-market applications! :-)

Thanks for your efforts and help!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
You might need to look for and delete libt9.so (/system/lib/ normally) I believe that's the only other file that could effect it. If no luck there, maybe you could try capturing an "adb logcat" on your pc while trying to install it on your phone. Should at least tell us why it's erroring out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dlc1265:
Thanks for the advice. I do not have a libt9.so file. Is there another I may look for? Once again, the 'clicker' application installed cleanly...

Sorry, I have no idea about the "adb logcat" dont I need the SDK for that to work?

When I try to load it from the SD Card, as update.zip, I get : "E: Signature Verification Failed"-----Installation Aborted

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Yeah you need to download the SDK for that. Try using an app like root explorer or android mate (a file manager that does root/read write access to /system partition) and delete HTC_IME.apk (from /system/app, /data/app, /data/app-private/ etc, wherever it is) then try again.

AFAIK, the only file this version of the keyboard unpacks on install is that libt9.so file, so if that's not there, only other thing I could think of would be that a different version of HTC_IME.apk is somewhere on your phone already. Perhaps try seeing if there is a touch input listed as an application you can remove in settings/applications/manage applications as well.

Other then that, I think use of adb is the only way we can really solve this.

is there anyway we can make this work on the droid eris??? i installed a custom rom for my sister in law but she likes this sytle of keyboard because it has the option for a compact qwerty keyboard.. i searched around and i can't find anything any help would be great!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] duckredbeard:
I know this has been posted before, but search isn't coming up with an answer. There are over 980 posts in this topic, so reading them all is out of the question.

I created a skin, scanned the QR code, downloaded the zip, unzipped the file and tried to install the apk. When I use Astro, it only gives me the option of uninstalling or launching. I tried uninstall then reinstall the new one, but it didn't work. I was left with no HTC_IME keyboard.

How do I install the new skin? Is there a preferred file manager/apk installer? Is there a hand holding walkthrough?

Rooted HTC Aria, CM6.1 (Froyo) and using v27 HTC_IME. Should I be using hi or lo res?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Dice62:
Just a question:

I love this keyboard, I installed it and the click for calibration and it's working great.

One question, however, is that when I start typing quickly, it stops responding, as in, it doesn't register some of the clicks after I start typing very quickly. Is this a phone touch screen limit?

I'm using the SGS i9000M, and I have the froyo hi-res htc keyboard from your site.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fi3ry_icy:
does anyone know if there is a same skinning portal for the htc keyboard for the evo with the directional keys?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flipper12:
BTW, love the kitchen. Great job!

But like the poster above, I do miss my directional arrows keys. Is there a skinning portal that creates those too?

Also, I'm having problems installing the high-res 'clicker_hi.apk'. When trying to install it with Root Explorer, I'm getting the message, 'Application Not Installed'.

Any tips and/or suggestions how to overcome this? Am I supposed to modify any of the permissions for the file?

Thanks anyone for the assistance!

UPDATE: Never mind the request for help on the clicker issue. I had to delete the old version of it for the new one to work.

However, still wanting to know whether or not there are plans to incorporate the directional arrow keys... THANKS!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fi3ry_icy:
yeah.. the directional keys would be fantastic coz i am currently running hd2 on android. :D
