Got Ultra keyboard working on stock, kind of

Hi,

No one has responded, but I've been focussing on trying to get Ultra working.

Some things I tried:

- Install from market - No setting to enable it, long press doesn't cause input selection

- I found some comments that problem was because of stock TNT Settings.apk and SettingProvider.apk, so I found some Android apks, and replaced them. - I then got the enable in Settings, but still no input selection when long press on a text box

- I then moved the /data/app/com.binarybulge...apk file to /system/app, and rebooted - Then, in Settings, the enable was gone :(...

- I accidentally pressed on Ultra in Myapps on the new market, and a screen with 3 buttons appeared, including a question mark/help button. I clicked on that, which brought up a help doc, and in there, there was a link to open the input selection! I clicked that, got the selection, and selected Ultra. After that, long press still doesn't bring up input selection, but Ultra pops up when I click on any text box,

So, at this point I can use Ultra, but only Ultra (no input selection on long press).

I'm about ready to go back to the TNT Settins apks, but if anyone has any idea why I can't get the log press to invoke input selection, PLEEASE, let me know. Maybe there's some other Android apk that's needed?

I would like to use the gingerbread or swiftkey keyboards but am having the same issue disabling the TnT keyboard so I can select an alternate.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rushless:
People have probably not responded since already asked by others several times. Also, I think people are becoming shell shocked and a tad weary of what Viewsonic is actually doing with the device.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
Hi,

Understandable :)...

But, I've been continuing to work on it, and I think I'm close to a workable solution, at least for me.

If you look at my last post above, you'll note that I can use alternate keyboards now, but the long press thing on a text box doesn't work. I don't quite understand why yet, because that behavior seems like it's suppose to be embedded in Android, since maybe 1.6 or so.

Anyway, so I'm trying to write a small Android app that will cause the input method selection menu to pop up. I just got that working, but I've hacked a few things like the Settings/SettingsProvider apks earlier, so I want to go back and re-do things to see what works vs. doesn't work.

Once I get all that done, and it hopefully works, I'll post info and my app/apk.

Jim

P.S. Reminder: This messiness is apparently only with TNT/TNT lite, as the other NON-TNT firmware works "normally" (enable in Settings then long press in text box).
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jonagpa:
I am sure you already tried this but I will say it just in case

Did you tried going to "settings" - "language & keyboard" - find the keyboard your using and enable it by the checkbox on the right?

then you go to any text input box like the market search box and long press to get the "input method" option.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
That doesn't work like that in stock TNT :(.

After install, you can't enable it in stock Settings. Also, even when I switched to vanilla Android Settings, which allowed enabling, long press on text box doesn't bring up input method selection.

Jim
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] hogasswild:
Anyone come up with a solution? I still cannot use an alternate keyboard within TnTLite 3.0.

Long press isnt working with TnTlite 3.0. Look at the last item in the changelog.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ronhoney:
1. Root it

2. Load Vegan ROM (comes with Android 2.3 keyboard)

3. After loading an alternate Keyboard (I like SwiftKey) & enabling in settings, select input method as you normally do in Android.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
Hi,

I think that my small app is working, at least on my Gtab, but I'd like to get a couple of people to test it, and then if it's ok, I'll post it as an attachment.

It'll come as an apk, that you just install. When you click on the app, it causes the input selection menu to pop up.

If anyone is interested, pls pm me.

Please advise.

Thanks,

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kibana:
I will give it a shot
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
Thanks! I just sent you a pm w/the link. Please let me know how it works for you? I'm still new to Android and Android development, so "be gentle" :). If this works OK for you all, I'll post the link in this thread.

Jim
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kibana:
Here is what I did.

installed the app you sent

installed free ultra keyboard

reboot the gtab

went to settings just to confirm that alternate keyboard entry does exist but can't be selected

Long pressing any text box brings pop-up with two entries 1. Edit text 2. Input method. Selecting input method just shows tnt keyboard entry and not the alternate ultra keyboard

So I would say it is not working out for me...or I am missing something...let me know if you want me to try something else
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kibana:
Oh...I just realized that your app might only work on stock UI and not on tnt. 2.0...is that the case?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
Kibana,

I think there are a couple of things/problems that we're dealing with here, including some stuff that I don't understand 100%, but let me try...

My understanding is that the problems with keyboards is only with TNT or any TNT derivatives. Since you're on TNT lite, I'd expect your system to behave similar to mine, with respect to this.

First of all, not being able to enable (in your case) Ultra keyboard, in Settings. Actually, if your system works like mine, you can check the radiobutton, but it doesn't "stick". From searching, my understanding is that is because thy TNT Settings or SettingsProvider apks are missing something that is not missing from the standard Android Settings.

I know this for sure, because I found another Settings/SettingsProvider apk set, that does make the keyboard setting stick.

I don't know if that matters now on my system, because even after I switched back to the original apks, I can install new keyboards, even tho I can't check the button in Settings.

Second, I had seen info that when you install a keyboard, they got put into /data/app, but needed to be in /system/AOL, instead.

In my case, I did that (copied the keyboard apk from /data/app to /system/app), BUT, I am not 100% sure that is needed. The reason I say that is I can install (for example) the ultra apk now, and without moving files, if I click on InputPicker, I will get the popup that let's me choose a keyboard, including ultra.

Third, I think that I forgot to say: AFTER you install InputPicker.apk, you need to click on the InputPicker icon and this will force the input selection menu to popup.

In other words, anytime you want to select a keyboard, click on the icon. Once you select a keyboard, your choice should stick until you force a selection again.

So, did you click on the InputPicker apparently icon after the installation was done?

Sorry for the long post, but even for something so trivial, there's a lot of moving parts to this :(!

Jim
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
kibana,

I did another set of tests. This is with the original TNT Settings apk.

I installed two more keyboards from market (slideit and swiftkey).

As you have, they appear in Settings, but I can't enable them.

When I ran InputPicker, only the 2 original keyboards appeared, even after reboot.

Ok, then I copied the apks (com.dasur.slideit... and com.touchtype...) from /data/app to /system/app, and then rebooted.

Then I ran InputPicker, and VOILA, i GOT ALL KEYBOARDS.

So, to summarize, in your case, I think you need to copy the com.binarybulge... apk from /data/app to /system/app. Make sure the permissions are ok, rw-r--r--, then reboot.

If I'm understanding your post, you already get the popup when you long press in a text box, so you shouldn't need my InputPicker app.

I wrote the app because on my Gtab, running stock TNT, I don't get the popup when I long press.

Jim
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kibana:
Excellent...it is working now...

So I copied com.binarybulge... apk from /data/app to /system/app and now I can select new keyboard by long pressing on the text input field. You are also right that selection of new keyboard remains as is until I select different keyboard.

You are also right that your app inputpicker is not needed in my case (TNT lite 2.2).

I wonder though why you don't get input selection...but as I was typing I just realized that I downloaded 2.2 version from Droidpirates because they retained some of the stock applications (email, calendar etc) which I kind of like...

Thank you again...I am sure that other keyboards should also work now..

chirag
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
Can you explain what you meant when you said "I downloaded 2.2 version"?

Also, BTW, did you try running InputPicker anyway? Did it cause the popup at least?

I've been equally puzzled why long press doesn't work for me, which is what drove me to do the app.

Thanks,

Jim
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cheapskate88:
This worked like charm. I really appreciate the insight. I'm typing this now on Thumb Keyboard and love it!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] spamhead:
What tool did you use to move the .apk? None of the file managers I've used can see that directory. (I think it's in /data/app-private based on this thread)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cheapskate88:
Root explorer. Paid version. Don't forget to set it to R/W. You have to change it from R/O. The button is at the top of the app. Once you enable it to R/W you should be able to see everything. Good luck!

[G Tablet Accessories] sharpfork:
I figured out that my gTab can tether to my Droid1 wirelessly while charging it over USB so I'm looking at external battery options for long running 3g awesomness. I searched other devices on the forums and found this as a potential option: dealextreme com / details.dx / sku.35977 (I'm a noob who cant post URLs so search 35977).

Has anyone tried an external battery like this on the gTab?

I'm thinking a custom case with an external battery that charges my gTab, holds my phone that is being charged by the gTab, and maybe adds a little USB hub/SD card reader could be super cool. The battery above seems a bit brick like for a case but you get the idea.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
does the mesmerize have a front facing camera option, I see what looks like a prox censor, light sensor and a camera. Just wondering if it can be unlocked by a different rom
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
think theres only two sensors in front at least thats all that I see.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
if you look at the one on the right it has two in it i beleive that is the light and prox but the left one looks like the evo / my touch 4g camaera
[Samsung Mesmerize] cloudstrife7:
There is no front facing camera on the Galaxy S Mesmerize.
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
he is right about there being 3 things in the front though. wonder what the 3rd sensor is for?
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
x2. How do we know it isn't a camera? anybody opened the mez?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
It, along with every other variant, has been opened up and no there isn't a camera in there. There isn't a hole through the backing of the glass for it to even look through. It would be on the other side from the proximity sensor. There are posts out there where people have bought the camera and put it in. They even got it to work in most cases, but do you really want to take the chance of jacking your rear camera up or worse, your whole phone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] imyp:
I don't think anyone has put the ffc in the mes, I don't think the i9000 camera would work anyhow. The physical arrangement on the front and rear camera are on the same side of (right side I believe) of the fascinate. Ours has opposing front and rear camera placement. So even if someone did try I think they would need to modify the camera to make it fit right =(
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
Ok so I'm still confused then, what is the third sensor for?
[Samsung Mesmerize] imyp:
It allows super users to see into the future. The future facing camera
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Two sensors. Light sensor has one part. Proximity sensor has two parts.
[Samsung Mesmerize] androidman78:
I like this answer better than yours Phidelt.....LOL
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I do, too. But if one more person asks if there's a front facing camera in there I'm going to pull my balls out.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Is there a front facing camera on the Mesmerize?

Sorry, couldn't resist.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
You asked for it!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
looks like you might have a rash....might want to get some cream for that. :eek:
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
It's just a slight irritation... it'll be ok. Thanks for the concern.... lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] androidman78:
This is more than I needed..... and for an extra f-u 2 me I thanked you instead of quoting you for this post....lol:o
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
lol.... you liked my balls. I'm going to have to sneak that into a line of code somewhere when we work on our next project together to see if you can find it... lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
LOL too funny. But i was digging around the system files and I cam across this file. Its located /system/camerdata and its called datapattern_front_420sp. Any idea what it is for. I take that there is not a FFC in the phone but they need to clean their file system if they are going to push it out to the masses and not expect us to tinker with it

The update to 2.1.* I know the 2.0.23 works fine, the latest is not going for us. Perhaps if you can would you mind uploading the apk?

Btw thanks for helping.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
Also running CM6.1 stable from jaybob413, I dl'd 2.1.6 from the market today, re-integrated back into rom with titanium, works like a charm, maybe delete your current one first or clear data? can you guys not get it on the market?
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Yeah, definitely working here for me too. (YouTube v2.1.6 on self-compiled CM6.1 rom.)

The youtube apk I'm using is attached, if that's what you were looking for. If you wanted the older version I'll look to see if I have it in older gapp zips :D
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
Hey I don't know if I ever thanked you or not, but I use the 4g metamorph you posted, it's cool, so thanks :)
[Hero CDMA General] Nsandhu23:
Honestly I believe the mobile youtube site works better than the actual app.
[Hero CDMA General] 8on3s:
That's what I was hoping for thanks!! Will have to share this.
[Hero CDMA General] Texas Spectre:
Works fine for me. It updated itself via the Market Place.
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
Any difference from the last update?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DocUHT:
Merci ZeuBug !

Your theme is nice and clear, as I always looked for :-)

As I said, installation worked well on Darky 9.3b3.

I installed bootanimation and mms.apk via adb in recovery, but won't it be easier if you can included them in flashable theme zip ? (or maybe they are issues that I don't anderstand)

Anyway, thanks again
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ZeuBug:
A few weeks ago, in an earlier version, I had incorporated all the additions. Except that many users had flashed their device without looking more closely at the compatibility of their Rom, giving catastrophic results. You can use software like "root explorer " to copy / paste or Mms.apk bootanimation.zip, for example ... more easier than adb! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DocUHT:
I did! But due to issue that I don't anderstand, it was impossible for me to paste file. (And I checked twice to be in r/w).

As a Linux user, it's not too disturbing to use ADB, but I was thinking about new users.

As you answered, I was right thinking about lack of compatibility between different roms when adding bootanimation and system app in theme.zip :-)

Anyway, keep going enhance this theme, you're doing it right !

ZeuBug, I really like your theme and I'm currently using it :). I really like the transparent touches and the switches-like check boxes.

I have a little criticism though .... the statusbar icons do not have the same height and this is a little disturbing for the eye, especially in certain combinations.

I took the liberty to put the white gingerbread icons for the battery status, signal level and ... well .. what's in general displayed in the statustbar. Additionally, I've replaced the "services.jar" with the one in the black android theme, because of the hidden clock in normal standby.

Now it looks like this ...
