Hello to all,

I used the latest version me HTC ime mod keyboard and with eclair works well.

Since I have installed froyo keyboard sometimes became slow to respond.the stock touch input is better as speed of touch but is very very poor of functionality!

I have the latest version of HTC ime mod keyboard, any suggestion to improve the keyboard performance?

Thanks a lot

Mattia
[Desire General] Mountainjew:
I switched to smart keyboard, it feels more natural than HTC's keyboard and funs fine on Froyo.
[Desire General] mattiadj:
Where can I find this?

Have Italian translation and numeric keypad?

Thanks again
[Desire General] Hyonic:
Using Swype, loving it <3
[Desire General] Mountainjew:
It's on the market, and there's a downloadable Italian keypad. Dunno if it shows on your market though...It's around $2 but there's a trial version :)
[Desire General] mattiadj:
Since I always used the phone keypad and this is my first touch phone, is better for me if keyboard has the phone keypad support

Thanks
[Desire General] chr15gb:
Another vote for Swype.

So accurate it is spooky
[Desire General] Milch:
Another vote for Swype. It even works well as a tap keyboard.
[Desire General] ideasman69:
hmm... where do we get swype from? or are you guys using a rom that already has it installed?
[Desire General] mattiadj:
I have tried smart keyboard but is very similar to HTC mod keyboard.is not good for me.Swype is vary very wonderful but....how I can make chars like ?!' In my phrase???

Other suggestion?

Thanks!!
[Desire General] ganjamu:
Give SwiftKey a try, I prefer it to Swype. Although I believe BlindType keyboard will trump every other keyboard once it's publicly available, BTW does anyone have a leaked beta of BlindType ?
[Desire General] subzuk:
SwiftKey gets my vote! Tried most of them and found it the best.
[Desire General] nzdcoy:
I vote better keyboard, theres a free beta on their blogsite.

has been working pretty well for me so far
[Desire General] zeussn:
Swype here. I love it, is just amazing.
[Desire General] Hyonic:
We got it from the Swype Closed Beta :o

[Desire General] kinkade:
this does look awesome doesnt it.

any beta apks anyone. anyone?
[Desire General] mattiadj:
I have tested all keyboard suggested but any of these has the phone keypad.

If I leave phone keypad my qwerty HTC ime mod works well.the problem of slow respond is now with phone keypad.

Any idea?
[EVO 4G General] TJDuckett:
Edit: I googled it and found that I had "send to voicemail" turned on in her contact.

This is WEIRD, and it only happens with ONE friend. Whenever she calls, it rings once, and goes to my voicemail. On my phone, the call won't come up (ring or show an incoming call), but will show the missed call after she hangs up!

This is crazy, and we've even sat side by side and tested it out, and she can't get through to me.

Did I do something like accidentally block her, or what? She's the ONLY person this happens with.

God is trying to prevent a misfortunate relationship.
[EVO 4G General] TJDuckett:
LMFAO that's what my "real life" friends said too. I'm cracking the hell up.
[EVO 4G General] JrSmilez:
I'm having the same problem but it's with all incoming calls. Here's the kicker, when I leave my home area I can get calls. I have checked with Sprint and they say its not them. Oh and its happening to my wife's phone too. help, its driving me crazy!
[EVO 4G General] tottalynoob:
Had the samee problem once, fixed, but don eemmwmber how
[EVO 4G General] JrSmilez:
Well after 3 days of denying it sprint finally admitted it was on there side. I just got off the phone with them.

[HTC Aria General] bdarbois:
Hi everyone,

I'm in Paris - France, and was quite interested when reading Aria related announcement and specs.

Unfortunately I now know this handset is only available in US when being AT&T, and there is no Aria equivalent for Europe.

I went to eBay first but did not find a single device members would ship to France... So here I am,

Who could help me getting this phone ?

Thanks for your answers / suggestions
[HTC Aria General] pvillasuso:
Dont you have any kind of company with delivery service to France from US ?

I'm outside US ... I got a company with a physical address / warehouse @ Miami , that brings me the stuff I buy to my country ! \

I just order things to their address and VOILA ! I wait for a couple of days and @ my hands ... :D

That's the way to do it ...
[HTC Aria Android Development] thinice:
Requirements:

- ClockworkMod Recovery on your device

- Know how to reboot into recovery

- Have Android SDK (adb) installed - and familiar with the concept of what it does, and know how to access it via command line - if not look around, it's everywhere on how to do this.

Disclaimer:

- What you do is your fault

Optional:

- Ability to discern what, and what not to remove

Synopsis:

This is a good technique if you're receiving 'read only' errors while trying to remove apps - namely located in /system/app

[size=+3]Method:[/size]

- Reboot into recovery - it's been said in other threads it's best to DISCONNECT USB, power down, boot into recovery and THEN replug the USB connector.

- Using the clockwork menu - navigate down to 'partitions menu' using your volume down button - then hit the power button

- From the partitions menu, select 'mount /system' and hit the power button

- From your Android SDK tools directory - check 'adb devices' - this should indicate your phone is connected and in 'recovery' mode.

e.g.:

$ adb devices
List of devices attached
HT06BR007742	recovery

- Type 'adb shell' - this will put you into a command line for your phone

- From the command shell: 'cd /system/app'

- To get a list of what you can remove, type 'ls'

- To remove an .apk - type 'rm FileName.apk'

- When you're done, it's suggested you use the clockwork menu to reboot the phone ('back to the main clockwork menu, and 'reboot device')

Further example / note:

Once logged in via 'adb shell' and the system dir is mounted via clockwork:

/system/app # ls |grep "ATT"
ATT_Maps.apk
ATT_Navigator.apk
/system/app # rm ATT_Navigator.apk

Also, a side note, you can see all available commands for this shell by typing:

ls /sbin

The list is quite comprehensive.

I hope this helps someone :)

I'm not 100% on this but I was able to uninstall whatever I wanted through Titanium Backup, including the ATT bloatware once I was rooted.
[HTC Aria Android Development] OutsiderWV:
I am not sure about the Titanium Backup method. I restored to stock rom with root and used Titanium backup to remove some apps. They showed as removed, however when I reboot the phone the apps are back and not removed. I could not get Titanium backup to remove the apps with root alone.

removing AT&T Radio

I have searched the forum and have not yet found the answer to this question...I have removed all of the AT&T apps that I want to remove, except, which apk is AT&T radio?
[HTC Aria Android Development] h0llyw00dj0e:
You talking about fm radio on a sense rom?
[HTC Aria Android Development] wdlamb:
Ah, no I'm using my HTC Aria with the stock image. I've rooted it though, and I'm just getting rid of the included AT&T apps I do not want. This one shows up as "AT&T Radio". Just trying to figure out which apk to remove in order to remove this app.
[HTC Aria Android Development] asiancuta:
what apps are SAFE to remove without effecting HTC Sense or Aria? we need to make a list of files/apps safe to remove. i heard one user saying removing HTC stocks caused error issues when it tried to sync.
[HTC Aria Android Development] randyrubb:
Hello also any luck with change the radio to activate for 1700 mhz UMTS ?
[HTC Aria Android Development] friedice:
AndroidMusic.apk
[HTC Aria Android Development] wdlamb:
Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ahren37:
I've worked on this a few hrs now. I got Clockwork Recovery to work. Figured out HTC Sync was reverting the phone to stock recovery somehow. Removed that though...

Have rerun Unrevoked, and I can get into clockwork. I'm not interested in changing to different ROM now, just removing ATT crap.

When I try sideloading instructions/alternate method for removing ATT stuff, I get an error in cmd:

C:\android\tools>adb remount

remount failed: Operation not permitted

adb devices returns:

List of devices attached:

<myserial#> device

Any ideas? Have I not completed the root access procedure? I thought it was part of the Unrevoked process.
[HTC Aria Android Development] friedice:
Yes, I think I was getting the same problem so I did a sequence of steps in some weird sequence to actually change it. It went something like this:

1. Make sure your PATH variable is set to Tools folder of Android SDK

2. Boot your phone into Clockwork and connect to PC

3. On your phone go to Partitions Menu and mount /system, then mount USB storage

3. Go to command prompt on your PC change your drive to phone/SD card drive (whatever that is, F:\ in my case)

4. adb remount

5. unmount /system

6. mount /data, mount USB storage

7. adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db C:\settings.db

where C:\ is the main PC drive

8. change to C:\

9. echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db

10. change to F:\

11. adb push C:\settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

12. Unmount everything, reboot and sideloading should work
[HTC Aria Android Development] MikeChelen:
sorting and backup

To see which files take the most space, use du with sort:

du * | sort -n

If concerned about deleting an important app, try moving it to the sd card instead. First mount the sdcard with the recovery menu, then:

mkdir -p /sdcard/backup/system/app
mv /system/app/something.apk /sdcard/backup/system/app

Thanks for the guide!
[HTC Aria Android Development] ahren37:
Great I'll try this tonight. Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] oddlike7:
I'm getting errors when attempting to remove the ATT_Navigator and ATT_Maps.

/system/app # rm ATT_Navigator.apk

rm ATT_Navigator.apk

rm: can't remove 'ATT_Navigator.apk': Directory not empty

Same error for both. Any suggestions?

I'm running Liberated 2.1 and ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hurcon1:
Yeah, I think it'll be nice to have a master list so future people won't have to mess with backups.

some I'm curious about is Mobi TV, Mobile banking, Mobile Video, Peep, and mostly if it'll be okay to remove the htc twitter widget.
[HTC Aria Android Development] matt_b:
the only program i ran into any issues with removing was the defalut mms app. i decided to see what would happen if i got rid of that app and replaced it with handcent or chompsms. those programs could still send messages, but i couldn't receive any.

the easiest way to compile a list like that is browse the forums for any preexisting knowledge, then just start testing things for yourself. make a nandroid backup of your rom as it sits, start removing programs, boot normally and see what happens! if theres no errors after you've removed the desired apk, make a new backup, reboot into recovery and keep going at it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] supertrac:
How about titanium backup? I used it after rooting, then used the built-in apps manager. Rebooted, those crappywares never come back. I used this method on Aria and Captivate. EASY!
[HTC Aria Android Development] thinice:
rm: can't remove 'ATT_Navigator.apk': Directory not empty

This is a typical command line error- it means it's actually not a -file- but a directory, containing files.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ioft:
Thanks for this. I've been looking for ways to remove Amazon and a couple other stock apps from the CM6 rom I installed but Root Explorer/Terminal weren't working for me. The apps would keep coming back if I rebooted the phone. Using this method, they haven't reappeared.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
doesnt work for me on my rooted aria. titanium backup said i needed busybox. so i get the busybox installer app and when i hit install the install circle turns like 1/4 turn then freezes my phone and restarts.

guess i'll try the original steps on the first page when i get home
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
can't do the original steps either.

i need help someone!

i'm in recovery, i have my phone hooked up, i clicked on the mount /system, but i have no idea what to do next.

do i need to install the drivers? i downloaded the usb driver package revision 3 within the sdk thing, but when i browse to my c:\android folder and have it search for drivers, it says it doesnt find any.

i have no idea.
[HTC Aria Android Development] thinice:
What does 'adb devices' say when you're in clockwork?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Anthony1s:
If it's possible to join heads here, that's be great. I am working on removing .apk's from CM6 and have successfully removed some.

Here's a link to what I learned so far. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=760408

I'm a total n00b just trying to do my own thing, so extra knowledge is always appreciated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
some one said this was AndroidMusic.apk, but i do not have that.

i have the AT&T Radio app and an FM Radio app and the only .apk i see is HtcFMRadio.apk

so which one is the AT&T Radio app??? I don't need both and FM Radio is better.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
1. Make sure you have the Android SDK downloaded

2. On your computer, open up command prompt (start > run > cmd)

3. In the command prompt Navigate to the android SDK's "tools" folder (you do this by using the "cd" command so, if the SDK was located at C:\Android you would type "cd c:\Android"). Simple.

4. Type "adb" to start adb.

5. "cd system/app"

6. "ls"

7. "rm whatever.whatever.whatever"

8. Reboot...

P.s. the instructions were in OP's original post.
[HTC Aria Android Development] darknomad23:
Also a noob tip is to include a './' before the adb commands. Admittedly had me stumped for a while.
[HTC Aria Android Development] delutedsoul23:
Is it safe to remove Google talk....and Google voice?
[HTC Aria Android Development] willowave:
I just want to say thanks for this post. I don't use ADB that much, and so I need something as a how-to when things aren't going quite like they should (when I say, forget to mount the /system lol)

It's nice that it's step by step so I can go thru and see what I have forgotten to do in the process.

Thanks again!!

Coming back with "Permission Denied" on 2.2
[HTC Aria Android Development] D33PTHAWTE:
I'm getting the 'permission denied' error too...everything goes good up until the point I type in /system/app

anyone know what to do from here? is there a way to grant myself superuser permission from the command line on my pc?

this one really has me stumped. my phone is definitely rooted, running cyanogen mod 6.0.1 (I believe that's the version), have superuser with permissions granted on the device itself...what am i missing?:confused:

I've checked some fourums but none say...is it safe to remove Google voice and Google talk?...any help is appreciated
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
I use those apps, so I don't know, but why not try it and see? Just backup everything first, then remove them and reboot. If it wrecks things, you've got your backup.
[HTC Aria Android Development] delutedsoul23:
I will do that..thanks for the advice gene

Voice is ok to remove, but talk is needed for market access I beleive.

[HTC Aria Android Development] kc1:
Something similar happened to me. When I select uninstall it immediately re-boots the phone but the app is still there. Tried removing facebook and pluke.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dexmix:
How do you remove the remnants out of "Manage Applications"

Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications

The apps still show up here as

biz.firethorn.ftap (Mobile Banking)

com.cingular.links (Mobile Video)

com.mobitv.client.tv (MobiTV)

com.mspot.android.music.ra.... (AT&T Radio)

com.telenav.app.android.cingular (AT&T Navigator)

com.yellowpages (YPMobile)

basically i RMed them, but they still show up under Manage Applications

and if you try to select one of them - they Force Close Manage Applications

but if you go into one of the valid entries, and then back out - the list is cleaned up. Do i need to clear a cache somewhere?

this did not work http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6199786#post6199786

same as my issue here. http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-blade-modaco-com/318795/removing-stock-apps/

POSSIBLE FIX:

the original procedure needs to add a step to check

cd /data/data/

rm -r (packagename)

the apps have data directories in here

Androids --> PackageManager.java checks here to find application names / for partially installed apps etc.

(I love open source <3)

I couldnt figure it out... but

adb uninstall cleaned up all the lose ends i couldnt find manually.

adb uninstall (package name)

[HTC Aria Android Development] Tenacious--M:
Can you run me through how you did this? I have it , but each time I try to do an uninstall of a phone memory only app, it just reboots and its still there.
