Hey guys I just got a Rogers Dream....running through these forums it seems to be the latest build of android
firmware:1.5
kernel: 2.6.27-9something
build:1.85.631.5
my problem is there is no on screen keyboard for it like the magic, is there any way to install it as an app? or where to find such and app? canada does notyet support $ apps
One question, is it enabled?
Go to Settings => Locale & text and make sure that Android Keyboard (or something similar) has a checkmark next to it.
there is no option on this phone for it under that address there is only the option "device keyboard" which only allows me to modify auto complete, capitalize and such seems this phone does not have it loaded on it
wow..unbelievable
Tell me about it I assumed that they were the same platform so the software would be interchangeable I guess its because no one would buy the magic if the dream had both keyboards....anyway anyone know where I can dowload a good on screen keyboard?
u might just have to modd the os....n get one of these roms....
can't you just install the keyboards found here as an apk? There is a thread started by funbacon which has a KB- key.apk and i know i have previously installed it as an apk (ie. just using app installer0- no special instructions)...... give that a go.
There's a bunch of virtual keyboards on the market. Just download one.

how do you install the .apk file without having root access??? currently there is no way to root the Rogers versions. I've read that AppsInstaller can install .apk files, but can AppsInstaller be installed on non-rooted devices? or at least Rogers ones (which are different than other G1s?)
well the file posted worked perfectly I'm not going to mess with the ROM on this phone i just installed it using the appsinstaller application so i guess your misinformed about the phone being rooted to install .apk's i have done several already. Since I'm in canada we don't have access to many of the good apps is there a place where I can download .apk files?

that why i got a g1 , rogers disables to much in there phones , an old sony erricson i had rogers disabled the flash menu , they try to stick pickles up ppl asses
So I noticed a bunch of you are having the 'issue' of the official Rogers HTC Dream not having a software keyboard like the Rogers HTC Magic.
This was posted on haykuro's blog:
http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/htc_ime.zip
Original Link Here: http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?p=213
This is newer than the HTC TouchInput IME that is included on the HTC Magic and is compatible with the HTC Dream. All you have to do to install this keyboard is to extract the .apk file from the zip file and install it with a program such as ASTRO or AppInstaller (no need to push the libt9.so). Afterwards, you will notice that TouchInput will appear in your Locales & Text menu where you can calibrate the keyboard and change settings.
I'm not 100% sure if this works as I don't currently have a device to test with me anymore but I'm pretty sure it worked last time I tried it.
Good luck!
Worked on my currently not unrooted Rogers Dream!
Thanks!

So your phone is rooted...?

ahhh... the double negative. hehehe.
I didn't have any issues with the htc_ime.apk is this keyboard any better, or is it just the same thing?
hey im new to the whole android thing ive tried to install the htc soft keyboard but had no luck. right now i have the t-mobile my touch 3g..any help plz
Another way I found useful
Go to the market, and find the app "any soft keyboard"
What you do is just search keyboard and keep on scrolling down until you find it, then install it. Then go to local and select any soft keboard
voila
also available in many other languages + dvorak for those interested.

It's the same thing.
Has anyone acctually got one of these? i have been searching for hours! basicaly ive flashed my phone with a Hero ROM but im not happy with the performance so i just want to revert back (i was too stupid i only got my phone for little over 35 hours and i didnt make a nandroid ) im just looking for a original, stock, out of the factory (or however you wanna name it) ROM. Please if anyone has it help out id be very grateful , i just want the firmware dont need the data
This is not a development related question. Moved.
And, why wouldn't you try another non-hero based ROM? It would run faster than even the stock ROM.
Youre absolutely right. I also just replaced the original rom with Qteck but it really crashes alot. And the speed darn it, its soooo slow.
Does somebody have a the orginal rom so we could fix this problem.
Well i take back what i said, Cyanogenmod is the ANSWER to Android phones. Its Fast, stable, with his update manager easly updated.
So IFlip92 i would advise you to try Cyanogenmod all other mods are just junk.
This doesnt help if you have to return the phone though, ?When i get mine back after paying for a repair becaus i had cyanogen rom on it i will upload the original rom as soon as it is turned on

Thinking of putting Hero Rom on my Magic from voda, would you suggest one please also does the on you have work perfectly as tho it was a Hero which you are using with the multi touch on internet browsing
Cheers James
Yeah, I too have updated my original magic rom to the hero. It looks great but runs like a dog, the lag is unbearable! Is there any way of getting the phone back to the way it was when i took it of the box?
I would love to get my magic back!!!

Your Magic with Hero rom shouls be running perfectly. I had the same feelings as you. What I did do wrong was not formatting and partitioning sdcard correctly.Once that sorted ,reflashed with Modaco's full version, everything is fine.
Other suggestion is to have a go at Enothers rom (t-mob) which is 100% perfect.
hi, I have just bought a htc g2 magic(TIM). I got a very terrible problem as the title says, it aways reboot itself when I try to use the camera.
I have tried several ROMs, but I still get this problem though other ones told me that it is ok for them.
Is it a hardware problem or software problem or other?
the following the detals of my phone(if any other information you need, please let me know):
SPL info:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

RECOVERY info
Build: RA-sappphire-v1.5.2H
really appreciate for any help
Maybe your cam is brokken so when you try to access it you get hit with a FC,
not sure. but not crash every time. if you try it after rebooting, it is ok for a short time.

Have you tried any sense or 2.0/2.1 roms?
They have cam drivers now so give those a go.

thank you for your info. but i am really a newbie here.
i don't understand the sense and rom, could you be so kind to provide me a link or sth.?
You don't say which ROM you are using. There are quite a few Magics that have the reboot problem with the Donut 1.6 ROM, mine included. T-Mobile was replacing them. See this link:

hxxp://hiapk.com/bbs/thread-69104-1-1.html
but, many other guys are also using this rom without problems.
I am on your the page you gave now
many thanks

You can flash a 1.5 ROM like I did. The camera works fine but I gave up voice directions in Google Maps and Voice Google search.

thank you. I send my phone back to my provider and let them test it.
I think it will save me a lot of time.
The only resolution is a 1.5 ROM like the one I'm using.

everything seems ok after roll back to 1.5 ROM, but the goggles(can not be found in the market).
TIM camera reboot
sorry that i pick up so old thread but.
Does anyone found a fix for this problem?
I also have a TIM HTC Magic black with red border and another black HTC magic with silver border.
On TIM's one there is a problem with random reboots when using camera on 2.1 eclair roms (i've tried a lot of roms - random reboot when using camera on all)
With silver magic there is no problem
It looks like the problem is only on TIM magic.. maybe different hardware.
Also, as described above on 1.5 rom (I've tried CursorSense 1.2.6.1 which is cupcake) there is no problem with camera.
is there solution for 2.1 based roms ?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Same with my Rogers Magic. Only 1.5 roms are okay.
The problem is that Rogers hasn't rolled out a 1.6 or greater ROM. Once they do I can complain, but before that they'll say that I hacked it and it's my fault.
There's a ticket for this issue with cyanogenmod, have a look here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=792
My camera works fine in wm 6.5 but it doesnt work on any of my sd roms (haret boot), doesnt work on american android or Nexus ICS by tytung hard reset hd2, formatted sd card and clean installed both, fixed permissions, still nothing... everything used to work fine until I got my lcd replaced and updated tmobile rom through t mobile website. in wm6.5 the phone runs flawlessly camera and everything.
What do you mean by "not working" ?
What exactly do you get? a black screen? a force close? an error message?

Black screen then will ask if I wan to wait or force close, have chose the wait option and after 10 minutes still nothing, reinstalled thru system/app camera.apk, nothing... 3rd party camera apps cant open it either.
So it's working under WinMo >>> supposedly eliminates hardware issue.
But it's not working under any "sd" android ROM AFTER an LCD replacement.
Maybe if you provide a logcat other members may be able to help you?
Have you tried it in "NAND" android? Have you tried different Kernels while on sd? Have you tried it on Windows Phone 7?
I'm at the limits of my knowledge, sorry.
I hope you get it fixed.
I haven't tried it on NAND but I'm not that knowledgeable about flashing roms and with all the trouble I've had I don't wanna screw anything else up ill post a logcat under a more defined thread, thanks for your help.

This is the best I can do so far trying to fully figure this out

check out the link below if you want to try out NAND, once you know the steps it's actually not that hard.
ughh figured it out went back into windows mobile and it worked fine then it started working on and off, now it wont work at all even after hard reset, looks like its pointing towards a loose connection in the hardware not ROM related after all, thanks for the help. Time to go get in an argument with repair tech

Have you tried getting another camera app off the market? Most have issues with ICS and some others.

Hey Axman, I understand you're trying to help around which is great but before posting could you please read the entire thread? Quite a lot of what you've posted recently in this section has really been irrelevant to the issue/has already been advised. Thanks
