I am new to this forum, and i have been desperately trying to figure out how to get the htc keyboard on the generic cupcacke build that comes with the mytouch 3G. I know there is a method that involves rooting the phone, but i don't want to take a chance. I have come across another method that seems much easier:
download htc_ime.apk, put it on your sd card, download an app manager or file explorer from android market, use the app to doanload the apk on to your phone, go to local and text in settings and select touch input.
Does this method really work?
I had doubts because everyone seems to be using the more complicated method.
Yes any .apk file will work, does with me and I use Astro
Cheers

Do you have to unzip the apk file before you put it on your sd card?

this method was discussed on the other thread, but the one person who ended up trying it out had problems getting it to work. that is why i made a separate thread to check if the process was valid and if would actually work.

its valid & works fine.. Jsut like the instructions in the other thread say.. I can personally vouch for that as I am using the HTC Compact Keyboard on my myTouch3g
Edit: also the 1 person who hasn't gotten it to work likely is just doing something wrong..
yeah pointless why start a new thread if you could have just gone to the other one and confirmed that it is working....
thanks for all the help. i guess i am kind of new to this stuff. i figured it would be easier to just start a new thread. by the way, why does everybody use the more complicated method(adb)?

Naw I'm positive I did it correctly I did it exactly like the OP in the other thread said he did it... I've rooted g1s and flashed roms so I think I have the bbasic knoledge needed to install an .apk, especially since I did the same thing two days before when I had to install the sherpa .apk

after you have the file on the card run the appmanager program.. when it comes up I had to choose menu & then Something that was obvious.. I dont remember what it was, but it was there.. & then simply install the apk file as listed.. Also make sure you have checked the bock to allow non marketplace apps..

well its installed on my mt3g i had to go to the phone settings then locale & text, then select touch input from there, then go back to a new message long click and select touch input there as well... but it work now and i like on the mt3g just as much as i do on my G1... and sorry im new here and im sure yall are pissed at me already lol
@c-phresh
i think i know what your problem is. when you download and extract the htc_ime.apk, it branches into two files. one is a .so file, and one is a .apk file.
The only file that you should use is the .apk. if you also put the .so file on your sd card, the whole process will go wrong at one point.
when i try to install the keyboard it keeps failing, also. when i try to install it at the top of the screen it says "abc non-word vibrate times" then asks me to confirm that i want to change a system setting, then fails after i try to install. i have a changed the settings to allow 3rd party apps to be installed. any thoughts? non-rooted phone.....

From your information on your post profile I would say your not working with a MyTouch3g since you have a Canadian flag & the rogers logo..
you would be correct. i was hoping that my version would be pretty similar to the mytouch3g, minus the horrible name
@hondaguy
the keyboard that we are all trying to obtain already comes standard on the rogers magic that you have. Look at images on first page.

that is strange. in that case, i can only recomend that you make sure not to install the .so file that came in the keyboard zip
Edit: your right, i did mean the first page of the other thread!

Does it show 'Force Close'?
If so, you might need to flash the phone using SEUS, to correct the mediascape problem - you can install on a PC, by getting it from here:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/topic/updateserviceapplication/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
Then the problem should be fixed. Choose the option that says NOT to do a factory reset, if available, so you can keep your applications and settings.
Otherwise you'll have to choose the other option, then install your apps and settings again.
(I'm not sure how to use root access to fix this, due to the many apk files and odex files that 'mediascape' uses as a whole. This would be quicker, so if anyone has any ideas to help with this, please help.)

I could be on the wrong problem here, but is it giving you the message that that type of file is not compatible with the phone? or something like that?
if so, just use astro file manager (from the market) and go to menue >>more >>preferences >>enable browser downloader and check that.
thats what worked for me

Just go to market and download save mms by Andrew Schwimmer. That should hold you off for now.

I was messing around to find the default ringtone for x8 (it rings whenever you don't have SD card present or you have USB cable attached)
but can't find it anywhere, any help ?
Try in /system/media/audio
no luck mate already tried that,
I easily found it using the search button!
See attachments, you have the notification sound too there
oh no, not this, i'm not talking about sony ericsson.ogg, well let me tell you what it sounds like :
Oh I'm sorry, didn't read the whole description
It must be one of these two.
no mate, I think you didn't check my attachment ! and the spooky thing is that I have deleted all files under system/media/audio/ringtones
I don't have any file there, but the ringtone still rings, try plugging your cellphone to a computer in USB mode, then call on your phone, you will get what I mean.
I don't think there are more SE sounds...Anyway I cant listen to your file and I don't have stock ROM (if it needs stock ROM)
ya i'm on stock, but it is really weird.. mate
What if you find a stock rom in a zip format and replace the folder containing those files?
Sent from my Xperia X8 using XDA app
well the point is , I just wanted to replace this default ringtone with my own, but can't find it anywhere at all

Hi,
I have root access to my i9505 and want to disable battery full notification.
Searched around and saw I can install 3minit framework or wanam xposed or in settings let screen on to set the notification off, BUT I just want to REPLACE the soundfile by one less anoying.
Setting on/off is not a good solution for me.
I searched in root for the soundfile "battery full notification" but didn't find it.
Pls can someone tell me where to look or what is the name?

hello mate Try this If your Phone is rooted , Open Root explorer then system\media\audio\ui and look for tw_battery_caution.ogg and remove/change the file from that folder and reboot your phone. When your Battery hit 100% there should be no more sound after reaching 100% Might be work or not :S lol

Hi mate, thank you ! Yes, this is the "key" but unfortunally the file you mention is for when there is something wrong with the battery like high temperature e.g.. The file/sound tw_battery_caution.ogg is not the sound used for notification "Battery Full".
I tried alread all .ogg files with "search" but it is driving me crazy ... none of them was like notification battery full.
Or I overlooked one ... so if someone knows the name of the file I send him/her 1000 Thank you's

Well Like @Joku1981 said use Xposed bro and if you still dont wanna use xposed then In order to remove this you need to modify the systemui.apk in order to fix this issue , sorry mate and goodluck
