HTC_IME Keyboard

Is it possible to use this mod on the Eris? There is a low res version, which I assume is compatible with our screens; however, I'm terrified of bricking the phone, and I'm not sure if flashing something like this would do so.
Also, to install I would restart in recovery and flash the zip, correct? I encourage everyone to check it out. Even if the current version won't work on the Eris, it would be worth it to port over. The stock keyboard is severely lacking.

edit: to perhaps get more people interested, here is the feature list:
* Customizable language settings
* Smileys hacked into the hide key (see screen shots)
* Custom smileys
* Installs also on Android < 2.1

* Prediction in fields that sets the filter flag
* Prediction in URL fields
* Disable automatic capitalization
* Play sounds in silent mode
* Set sound level
* Automatic space insertion
* Enable prediction with cursor in or adjacent to existing words (QWERTY only)
* Enable a space bar key in URL keyboard (experimental)

* Support for German QWERTZ hard KB layout
* Show voice input button for all keyboards with a settings button
* Swipe right for voice input on any keyboard
* Swipe left to delete word
* Swipe down to hide keyboard
* Disable key preview popup
* Use Google development server for voice (supports German but isn't online 24/7)
* Position of word candidate list is saved if you long press and move it
* Left align word candidate list
* MANY HTC bugs fixed, the changelog for a few of them
* Droid landscape support with resolution related glitches
* User dictionary import/export (for backup or building your dictionary on your computer)
* User dictionary accepts any character, not just HTC approved ones
* Custom vibration length
* Character replacement (can remove diacritic chars)
* Pipe key in qwerty mode
* My source code is now available for your own modding pleasure

I'm curious about this too. I tried to install and it just said, "Not installed"? Can we get this working on the Eris?

well it works
**EDIT**
This keyboard will only work on deodexed roms, consult your devs initial post to see if deodexing was part of their build.
i downloaded and followed the directions per this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655383&page=3
really sweet keyboard tons of features, they said they were having issues with the voice search ect but it works on eris...
just a quick run down...
go to the above post...
1. download the LOW RES in the first post...
2. extract zip to your sdk tools folder
3. open your command window get to your tools directory and apply the following commands...
adb remount
adb push Clicker.apk /system/app/
adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/
then reboot
**edit**
i could not push the .htcime but be sure to include in the root of your sd card...i just used astro...enjoy.
then reboot
note I take no responsibility if your nuke your phone, this keyboard will replace your oem one...

I keep trying to install the files, and it keeps giving me a not installed error. Not sure what i'm doing wrong, but either installing the files right to my SD card, or trying to load these files using adb isn't working.

how?
I copied the clicker.apk and the HTC_IME.API to system\app using root explorer and have the other file on root of SD card and it erased my keyboard all together. I'm using the sense able. 7 Rom

try...
did u open a msg app, long press a txt box and see a box called input method? if not do so and select touch input. it should load it right up if it was properly installed, im running ivans .7....so idk if that makes a difference...

Yeah. There is no keyboard installed to select. Long press does nothing in a text field, and in the settings menu, there is no keyboard to select

Did you...
Check the system\app folder to see if it were present? i would suggest doing it via adb via the instructions above as it worked perfectly for me try giving that a go...oh did you reboot after you moved the files with your file explorer?

How would an non-root go about doing this??

got it sorted...
ok here's why its not working for you... ivans .7 is deodexed, the keyboard didnt include an odex so it works only for deodexed roms, where as the rom u are using isnt.
i flashed it to test and confirm it myself would not load on an odexed rom. we could probably get ahold of the dev or the odex and get it sorted...neway that i believe is the why of it.

does this have to be ran through adb? would it be possible to just run everything manually using astro? im very interested in using this keyboard

Im sure you can...
I'm sure you can use a file explorer or something. I just prefer adb as it seems quicker and more "complete" to me give it a try...just make sure ur using a deodexed rom like ivans .7 as the odexed roms will not recognize it.

Odexed Roms
Does anybody know how to get this to work on odexed roms? I am using the Sense Able ROM and it won't work.

Doesn't work on evil Eris 1.1 just force closes.

i pm'd the dev and requested the original file including the odex, hopefully one of ours can work their magic and port it to the odexed roms...for those running the deodexed rom I think ivans .7 it works well...any of the deodexed eris builds actually should work.

I take it that this keyboard would not be functional with Swype?

Rooted device can not see "copy protected" android applications

Hello,
I'm running leaked version of 2.2 but apparently issue with any device which is rooted. I'm trying to get "Good for Enterprise" and market does not show it's as avaialble. Good support confirmed that they turned on "copy protection" on their application published to market. here is part of what SDK says
"Forward-Locked Applications
To forward lock an application, set copy protection to "On" when you upload the application to Market. Market will not show copy-protected applications on developer devices or unreleased devices."
Anybody has any idea how to circumvent this?

This was in the known issues thread on the first page of the forum, it should resolve the issue by tricking the market into thinking you are running JH7, a released firmware.

hey guys,
I tried your fix to a HTC Desire with MIUI XJ Custom rom and it hasnt worked so far...i think there's a lot more to be changed in this build.prop file than just the fingerprint line.

Market apps

I have notice this thing. My friend and I have a captivate. In the market I have some apps that is not seen in his market. I was wondering if this had to do with the market update? Or something like carrier thing for roms...
Both of us are rooted. He is still running the stock rom I'm running darky port 7.2.
P.s. the specific app I was unable to find on my friends captivate was 'Google Korean ime '(its a keyboard)

Since he is rooted, but still on stock ROM, you need to make a change to your settings.db file to allow non market application installation (0 to 1 type of change). Do the following if you have the Android SDK installed:
adb shell
su
cd /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings
sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value = "1" where name = "install_non_market_apps";
.quit
Then reboot your phone.
If you don't ADB you'll want to either install it or you can try one of a couple of "one-clickers" on the boards. It's been a while since I've done it myself and if I recall correctly I installed the sqlLite add-on in Firefox to change this setting on my phone.
A quick search found the following link here which looks like it'll do the trick, though I've personally never used it. Look around, as there are others, and decide what would be best/easiest for you.
Or flash with CWM

I'm use to allowing non market app restriction with Firefox sq lite manager so that's no big issue for me.

Pretty sure you need to edit the fingerprint in build prop to show apps hidden by att...use sgs tools (market fix in app), which as far as I know is now not available on market anymore but can be found on xda
Edited for swype

Airplane mode, turn on wifi, connect to wifi, download restricted apps from unrestricted market

Keep your backup or find app on xda if you want it. Not sure of status exactly but I think the dev just quite supporting it.
As for the airplane mode that works but market fix eliminates doing it every time

[Q] Installing Non-Market .apk files?

I have an AT&T SGT. I've been using the beta version of VPlayer from the market. VPlayer is a great app but when I purchased it for $.99 through paypal for the unlocker, the download failed. I emailed Vplayer and they sent me an .apk file for the unlocker but I can't install it.
I've "googled" and got this.
"Download apps for Samsung Galaxy Tab from outside the Android Market
Android apps come in the form of APK files. You can use Google to find free APK files for your Galaxy Tab, then install them using the steps below.
Note: This method should probably only be used by techies or people who really know what they are doing. Installing APK files from some sites can compromise the security of your device.
1. Open Settings.
2. Select Applications.
3. Check Unknown sources to enable app installs from outside of the Android Market.
4. Open Android Market and download and install Astro File Manager.
5. If you used your computer to download the APK file, mount the Galaxy Tab to your computer and copy the APK file to the device. If you used the Browser on the Galaxy Tab, the file should be saved to the device.
6. Open Astro File Manager.
7. Navigate to the APK file location. Tap it and select Open App Manager.
8. Tap Install.
9. Tap Install again"
But my problem is that I cannot comply with step 3. It doesn't give me that option.
I've copied the apk file to my sdcard and installed Easy Installer App from the market to help install it. The Easy Installer App sees the apk file but when I click to install it, it shows:
" FOR SECURITY, YOUR PHONE IS SET TO BLOCK INSTALLATION OF APPLICATIONS NOT OBTAINED FROM ANDROID MARKET."
It give me the option to click the setting button but I can't find the menu to allow installation of non-market apk files.
Thanks for the help.

I don't have the link handy but search SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse either in here or Google. Once you've downloaded the file and extract it, click the SuperOneClick.exe file and finally click allow non market apps. I highly suggest rooting your phone first to make it work. I'm sure there's an easier way but since no one has replied to you yet, I'm hoping this could get you started.

I've installed superoneclick on my windows 7 laptop. THe program runs but when I click allow non-market apps it freezes when it's "waiting for device".
My galaxy tab is already rooted via z4root. I've also unrooted it and trying to root it through superoneclick but it still has the same freezing problem and I have to force to close.

make sure your usb connection is set to debugging then run it again. see if that works.

Thanks for the quick reply rush_exmachina. I've tried the debugging mode already. I also tried: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
"If you're having issues with "wait for device" or if RATC is looping, try this
Unplug your USB Cable
Go to Settings > Applications > Development
Uncheck USB Debugging
Plug in your USB Cable
Unplug your USB Cable
Check USB Debugging
Plug in your USB Cable"
Still no success. I've searched the forums a bit, some SGT owners were successfull with superoneclick and some were not.

no prob. I'm fairly new to the android world myself. I've exhausted everything I know on top of my head but I'll search the forums with you and post whatever I could find here.

Sounds like you may not have the correct USB drivers installed. To test this open a command prompt on your windows computer. Navigate to the same directory you have SuperOneclick installed. In that directory you will see an executable named adb.exe In the command prompt, type adb devices. It should return with a serial number. If not, it can not communicate with your tab. In this case you will need to install the correct Samsung drivers for it to work. Also, as already mentioned, make sure USB Debugging is turned on.

First my english no too good, sorry if don't understand me,i well try,i had this same problem really I could not even root using z4 root since it's not on market no more, well I rooted using superonclick,i did successfully, still my problem about installing apps out of the market....well I did click the install non market apps, and have ther same errors like you then I realized I need give superuser permission so my advice is make sure you give SU permission(this is on your tab, I'm assuming us rooted with su installed) I hope you understood (i said for my english) if not I'm sure somebody here can explain better

Thanks for the reply guys. I will try the command promp method when I get home from work. See if I can get somewhere with that.
As far as permissions I have my SGT rooted via z4root. I went to the superuser app to give permissions...but I don't know enough to do anything with it. I tried adding apps to set permissions but I could not choose anything.
I installed ASTRO app... It looked promising but at the and my SGT still says it's setup to blocking non-market apps. To me that means there should be a setup menu to unblock it.
Thanks again for the help.

Not on the AT&T version as they specifically block that out. The only method to add it is either via SuperOneClick or modifying the settings file directly. SuperOneClick is the easiest method though as editing the file requires Root Explorer and potential for messing something else up in the file.

FINALLY SUCCESSFULL!! I downloaded and installed my SGT drivers from here.http://samsung-phones-apps.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-usb-driver.html
I also found http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine
I downloaded from both links and followed the directions and it worked like a champ.
Also make sure your SGT is rooted and USB Debugging is enabled like the guys above are saying.
Thanks Rush_exMachina, cbb77 and denpad2010 for your help.

so is this the only way to accomplish this? i'm trying to install non market apps on my att tab. this way works but it is such a hassle

1. Open Settings.
2. Select Applications. Select Security instead of Application
3. Check Unknown sources to enable app installs from outside of the Android Market.

(Backup Files ADDED!) [How To] [MOD] Undo Webtop Mod [MOD] [How To]

For almost a full day I tried undoing the hack with adb shell in order to install the beta update. You must have your Atrix Rooted and have SuperUser Okay lets start.
1) Check if you have WebtopModBackup in /mmt/sdcard (if not then dl)
2) Download from the market Super Manager https://market.android.com/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.TaskManager
3) Open Super Manager and go to settings "Enable ROOT function" give SuperUser permission
4) Go back to Super Manager and click on "File Explorer"
5) Locate "WebtopModBackup" once in their you should see 6 files.
6) hold down on the first one (one by one) and select "rename"
7) Erase .bak from all 6 files
8) Check all six files and click "Copy" (its the 3 icon on the bottom looks like 2 papers on top of each other)
9) Once you do that click on "Back up level folder" 3 times (You should be on "/" section
10) Go down to System (folder) (it will ask you 3 options R/w, read only, and so on.. Select R/W then go to "app"
11) Under "apps" (/system/app) Paste the files you copied! The 5th icon on the bottom (looks like a clipboard)
12) You will notice "force close over and over" This is normal" All you have to do from here on is turn off the phone. Lock the phone and hold the power button and click on "shut off"
Your all done! download the update and enjoy.
Note: You will lose SuperUser and Root Acc

Mine failed
Edit: Wrong thread sorry

This is helpful.

WebtopModBackup... Where do I get that if I didn't do any back ups?

After doing this i still had trouble doing the update. I hooked up the phone to see if the webtop mod still existed. Webtop didnt work but I also didnt get any notifications when connecting to hdmi, not even for the media center app. Has anyone confirmed hdmi still works?

webtopmodbackup isnt on my device is there anywhere i can DL this from

I also dont have webtopmodbackup, anywhere that I can DL it from?

anyone? i want to download the update and this is killing me

I can confirm the instructions work fine and I've successfully updated. Unfortunately, I performed the process before I realized anyone might be missing the files or I could have upped them for you all...

webtopmodbackup..if you dont have it..can be put on the phone if you just redo the webtop mod

Unable to launch webtop mode w/hdmi... Any ideas?
