Well i hate the optical trackball and use the arrows instead of it if i have to correct some spelling mistakes and stuff in text messages, emails etc etc. Not a big deal, but it maybe useful to someone

perfect in rom sparta

Guys i tried it to install in my X10. I isntalled it with no update zip because the X10 has no root.
IS THERE A WAY TO INSTALL IT LIKE A NORMAL APP like apk? Because if i do install it this way the X10 says me "this Sw can not be installed on this Phone"
PLEAS HELP ME! I NEED IT ON MY X10! Becaus i have no Trackball!
THANK YOU!!!

Nice, will give it a try on my Desire. Thanks a bunch!

Is this the correct way to install the app?
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb install app/HTC_IME.apk
When I do this, I get the following..
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
I am using SE X10 with Android 1.6

Hi,
can you post the source code?
I would like to see if i can add the arrows to ( jonasl - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416 ) version as i really like the skins I have made.

Works well in the MCR r3.1.
I dont really need it as I also use the trackpad but I find that the arrows to make it more accurate when shifting between individual letters.
Good job

Does this work on 2.2 Roms

The Evo was updated to froyo, is there going to be an update for this port?
That would be wicked!

New IME still isn't fat finger friendly. Would love to have the arrows back.

I'd like to second this one, this is lovely and the arrows alone are a great sell for me. But since it need root access (I don't want to root my desire yet) and also it appears that it does not work on Froyo, jonasl's keyboard mod is the one I'm stuck with for the time being.
Nevertheless, thanks for bringing this to the community.

Has there been any update to the HTC_IME (with arrows) keyboard for the HD2 running froyo? I'm starting to work with various terminals and it would be so nice to have some arrows so I can use my history. Thanks.

I saw that the DesireHD has IME w/Arrows. Probs easier to port from that?

I understand that the IME w/arrows is actually closed-source. I have asked gimpsta about it while using his online IME kitchen (http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/) and his reply mentioned that as it was closed source, he wasn't able to do much in the ways of editing it

Haha, htc hardware is quite superior comparing to samsuck. There are no lag to be "fixed" to begin with.
You will need to root it to run custom boot animations.

First you need root some kind of file manager. I use root explorer. Then you download the bootanimation you want. If its not already named bootanimation.zip, rename to that.
If you're using an asop rom like cm7 the bootanimation will be located in system/media, if you're using a sense rom the bootanimation will be located in system/customize/resource. All you do is copy the bootanimation you downloaded and paste it in the correctsponding place depending on the rom you're using. Make sure you switch the permission to r/w before pasting. In root explorer the r/w r/o button is on top.

This is by far the best ROM for the MT4G

lol ok, kinda boring. mind u the mildwild logo bootanimation aint exactly exciting haha. its just that the X only lasts like 2 seconds then a black screen for bout 8 seconds, would be better if the X just stayed on the screen till the phone booted. anywho thanks for the reply

Thanks! Nice Bootanimation. I like that: Very clear and simple.

thank !!

Hello.
I like this bootanimation, but I'd prefeer it if the X just would keep glowing on the screen. So I edited it to do that. Plus, I resized all the images to 480x800 ( Desire resolution ).
I attached the file to this post, just rename to "bootanimation.zip" and put where the old bootanimation.zip was.

[Splash Screen] Nexus 4 boot screen

Check out this cool nexus bootscreen that I didnot make myslef, but found in my downloads directory on PC..... Don't know why or where I downloaded it from, but it looks cool on my HTC Desire, with a complete Nexus-ish look. Works on all ROMs. Just be sure that you're rooted and S-Off.
Paste it in the /system/media directory. Overwrite your default one.
But do make a copy of the old one + a nandroid backup, cuz if it doesn't work on your phone, then don't complain to me.
Bound to work on 4.xx.xx ROMs....

can anyone confirm that it works on GB ROMs....

Yeah I know that, but since I've never tried it on ROMs below ICS, I just wanted to confirm that it works, cuz it has got 3 animation parts, while most GB ROMs support only 2 parts...

Every bootanimation works on all ROMS. exept if you have different screenresolution.

No, that one didn't work on GB ROM. It only works on ICS and JB ROMs.

Boot Animation Help

Hi guys.
I Just got a verizon g2 a week ago and I am trying to change the boot animation to an android L animation which I just found but it doesn't show past what's in the "part2" folder. In other words, it doesn't reach the part where the four dots turn into the word "android". This also happened with an android L boot animation which I found earlier from xda (which I think is the same). This is the link http://www.hotmodinc.com/2014/07/Android-L-Boot-Animation.html. Any help is appreciated. I have a stock rooted rom.

just tried it... seems ok, it only holds a black screen a bit longer after animation finishes...
did you download 1080x1920 size version?

Thanks anyways. Is there some special step you do on the g2? I moved the file to system/media, renamed it to bootanimation.zip (and backed up the old one) and changed the permissions to 0644.

I just saw some things about the bootloader regarding to boot animations. Does it need to be unlocked for them to work properly?

afaik, bootloader (locked/unlocked) doesn't have anything to do with bootanimation...
if your device is rooted and you have access to system files which you can modify and change their permissions - you can change the bootanimation too...
btw i still don't know what is the problem with yours... can you maybe somehow (with some other device or smtn) record a video of your device booting?

Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USyK2rDh2cA.
Yes I have tried a cm10 boot animation to test and it didn't work(at all). The only one that has fully worked that I tried (I have tried about 5 or 6 now) is the stock animation and an energy animation I found on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686247.

hi, i was kinda hoping that you'll record a video with that Android L bootanimation so i could compare it to mine...
i won't go installing all the bootanimations you use just to try and see i hope you understand...
btw which rom do you have? which variant? (although i doubt that has anything to do with the boot animation itself because i can run any of them on my old optimus 2x as long as the resolution fits, and never had problem)
also - open the description text file from the original LG animation zip (since you mentioned that the original one works well) and compare it with the description text file of the any of bootanimations that don't work...

and one other thing to consider as well - maybe your device just boots up faster so the animation can't get all the way to the end
i.e. mine boots in about 30secs (cloudy g3 v2.1, dorimanx kernel, dalvik runtime)

I was thinking about that actually, you may be right.

@dudeian - see this post

although, i don't know does this work on stock roms (i'm on cloudy g3 ported rom and it does) but you can try this...
also - see the posts below that one, i've posted a "bootanimation" file from "optimus g3" rom's "system/bin" folder for download...
and make sure you give it the proper permissions as described in that post (because they're not standard 644 ones - rw-r-r but -rwxr-xr-x
