just curious, tried to do some searching, but any way to remove the htc keyboard and get the stock android one?
I am currently running gumbo 1.5c and would like to try the stock one out because for some reason when texting in google voice the htc keyboard goes reallllly slow but while in defualt messaging app texting is fine.
but when i tried the stock keyboard on 2.01 by darch on GV it typed fine
soooo hopefully some way?
thanks
You should be able to go into Settings, Text Input and uncheck Touch Input.
Then in messaging app or really any text area hold it down and Edit Input.
Should work fine.

You can delete HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk from /system/app
theirs no option to uncheck touch input?
first I goto settings, then theirs a local and text>> then touch input >>then just bunch of options, no check boxes.

You can delete HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk from /system/app
kinda a noob on that kind of stuff, how would I even start or go about to doing that?
just open cmd prompt and cd to sdk then type
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm HTC_IME.apk
rm Clicker.apk

Hmm. I was curious and tried this on fresh's rom. Now I don't have a keyboard at all. lol. is there an apk for the android one, or is it built in some other way, I'm not familiar with how that works

The default Android keyboard will/should always be there. The HTC keyboard, the keyboard that comes with the SenseUI can be removed or changed back to the "Android" keyboard.
To do this:
1. Open your messaging app
2. Click and hold where you type a message
3. A box should popup and saying, "Select Input method"
4. Choose the Android keyboard.
Hope that helps.

I've tried that, I tap a field and I get nothing, no keyboard. Tap and hold in a field, I get nothing. Hold menu, no keyboard. Is this not possible on fresh's rom for whatever reason?

Interesting. It sounds like it could be a ROM problem, have you tried just reinstalling the file?
If not, here's the file -- download, unzip, and push the .apk via shell/command prompt back to your phone, and then reboot your phone.
Code:
1. adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/
2. adb shell reboot
3. exit

The .odex file isn't really that important, its for the Android Dalvik JVM -- you can actually delete this file.
And did you actually get Windows 7 mobile to run on Hero?

No, it should not always be there, you need a "LatinIme.apk", i think you could probably pull it out of a samsumg moment dump and use it on 1.5

HAHAH, what a coincidence, I just looked up a AOSP 1.5 ROM for the dream to see if the music apk would work, and it does, I just posted it in a new thread. So I've already got the LatinIme too. Thanks alot! I didn't know what apk I would have been looking for

I stand corrected.
I pushed the HTC keyboard back over, but I'm still having trouble getting the text input option to come up. I've done it before, so I don't think i'm doing anything stupid... Just hold in a text field until it comes up, right? I think I'm gonna try installing swype just to see if i can change text input then.

Here is the one from the moment dump, I tried installing the apk through package manager as well as simply pushing the file(s) to /system/app and neither worked. Let me know if you are able to make it work.
LatinIME.zip
Decided to help out and with the ok from ihtfp69 i wrote up a FAQ page
for everyone who uses Sky Raider Rom 3.3 Final
feel free to add.
zip is 180,304 kb
Sense 3.3 Requires a FULL WIPE
to avoid reboots make sure you have S-Off, Upgrade the radio to the OTA version
Wipe everything:
Factory Reset
Data Cache
Dalvik Cache
then apply SR 3.3
The initial boot animation is only there for the first boot and reverts to the original thereafter.
The fix for Rom Manager for fix permissions requires you to open Rom Manager once and then it will work after a reboot
Q: How to flash the ROM?
A:good info here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709220
Q: Since 3.3 requires a full wipe, due to all the changes, I was wondering if the MM mappings for the rosie launcher are still compatible with this new release.
A: All of the mappings are new so make sure you clear out the old ones and download the new ones.
Q:how to Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shellLock
A: there are 13 different lock screens including the HTC one
You must be on SP1 or higher to use them
Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shell
Type 'tabunlock' or 'rotaryunlock' to get the menu seen below
Please choose from the menu - S-OFF REQUIRED
1) normal
2) normal+menu unlock
3) normal+trackball unlock
4) music buttons
5) music buttons+menu unlock
6) music buttons+trackball unlock
7) restore HTC lock screen
8) get me out of here!
reboot
Q: how do you get a logcat?
A: Run CMD prompt and in while in the root folder sdk/tools/ run the command "adb logcat" copy paste all you see onto pastebin.com and post the link. or download logcat from market
"HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal" You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy
Any chance someone wants to actually put this on the wiki?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Droid_Incredible
There is a ROM section in there and would be a much better location than in a forum post.
What do you guys think?

hi

Please advise.

Hello,
I would like to know what is "HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal". Is this some kind of feature?
I would like to disable the PIN Lock on my phone that is enforced by my companies security policy. I used to use LockPicker on Android 2.1 but that no longer works. Is there another solution for Android 2.2?
Thanks.
Nevermind I found it. You should add this to the FAQ. You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy (forgot the actual name since after I removed it, the option is no longer there)
Im having a couple of problems
1) I cant get my Yahoo mail account to set up, I have installed the Mail Mod from ROM manager.
2) I am trying to install an application from the market and i am getting the error saying I dont have enough space to install. I really dont have many apps so i dont think thats accurate. I have cleared the market's cache, data, and restarted the application, problem still persists.
Thanks for the help

Check to see how many saved backups you have. Each backup can be upwards of 300mb's. If you have more than three that could be the problem. Happened to me once before. I got rid of a couple unnecessary backup files and freed up over half a gig of space. Apps from the market installed with no problems again afterward.

Q: How to enable Tab Lock Screen with Sound Controls?
A: You need to remove the HTC lock screen to get to the underlying stock lock screen, get into Recovery, mount system, I go into adb shell to remove

You have to let it sit for a good while... mine took like 5 minutes after changing the lock screen.
Is it normal for it to take up to 3 hours to complete? Cuz that's what keeps happening

I suggest using sysinterwolf cuz he is the man.
Xperia X10a
ADW Launcher
Answer some if theres too many questions
[SOLVED] 1) Is there another more complete skin for the ADW dialer? Dialpad, Contacts, etc are all dark themed but once I do any of these it goes back to default blue theme
-Call a number
-View a contact
-End call
2) Which app will allow me to disable the slide to unlock screen and make it so that the power button will unlock screen? I tried NoLock as suggested on another thread but the lock screen activates at random times like other people said.
[SOLVED] 3) Is there a way to completely hide the notification bar? Cause my theme is blackish but the bar is blue (I made another thread asking how to skin the bar). I hid the bar from desktop with ADW but its only hidden on the desktop. Can I permantly hide it with other apps?
4) Im using the Droid X ADW Theme. How do I change the icons (Both drawer and desktop) with either editing the theme or using another app. And where are the ADW themes stored?
5) Is it possible to make the ADW Drawer a slide out? I know theres an option to set slide up/down fuctions but I want a draggable drawer.
6) Display is using way too much battery? It says its using 70% when the brightness is only like 30% of the brightness bar.
[SOLVED] 7) How do I remove stock apps like the default calculator, TrackID, etc? I tried using adb uninstall /system/app/*file*.apk but it says "Failure"
Ill add/remove questions as I find problems/solutions.
Thanks!

You can modify the bar so it's black, I've also just done that, but not sure how you would hide it completely.
But that is only for rooted ones, isn't it?

Setting up the Android SDK[/U][/B]
Download the file from above
Unzip to your desktop

Right click on My Computer and click properties
Select the Advanced Tab or Advanced System Setting (Vista/Windows 7)
Select Environment Variables...
Press New
For Variable Name type: adb
For Variable Value type: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Now, [Get new sdk (1.5r3) to work]
1. Run SDK Setup.exe
2. If it gives you an error go to settings and click on "Force http//....."
3. Select all options and let it download and install
If you cant get the setup to work, Download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparing your phone for ADB
Go to Settings on your phone
Select Applications
Select Development
Make sure 'USB Debugging' is checked
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Drivers
Plug in your phone through USB and DO NOT MOUNT IT!!!!!
Your computer should see a new device and try to install Android 1.0 driver (If it doesnt, scroll down to the "Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB" section)
Let it load
Once it cant find them select "Install drivers from my pc"
The drivers you need are in the Android SDK 1.5r2 folder (C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver)
Depending on your OS pick x86 or amd64
You ADB Android Device should now be installed! Good Job
For Android SDK 1.5r3+
1. Run SDK Setup.exe
2. If it gives you an error go to settings and click on "Force http//....."
3. Select all options and let it download and install
If you cant get the setup to work, Download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)

Open up Command Prompt (Go to run, type in cmd, press enter)
Type in
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools === Press Enter
adb devices === You should see your device listed
adb shell === you should see # in the next line
Now you are all set to run adb commands
Note: for a list of commands type in 'adb' in cmd
CONGRATS YOU NOW HAVE ADB FULLY RUNNING!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB"
Why: Your computer has detected your phone but as a protable device and as a storage device.
Fix: This took me a lot of research and time to figure out so this is what your are going to do.
First download USBDeview - Here
Unzip it
Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator
You will see all drivers being used on your computer
Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)
Right Click on the driver and press uninstall
Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in
You should now get the notification of the ADB device
Follow the steps above to install the drivers
Thats it for ADB! Congrats and if you have any questions please ask me or if anything is missing or not correct please tell me. I got all of this from research and personal experience.

I just pushed the new one over, however you do need to switch to the default dialler to see the change, and if you have trouble making calls like I did, go into manage applications, and clear the cache and or remove updates from the dialler and phonebook.

The phone says it is using 70% because the display uses the most energy at that moment. But 70% doesn't mean it is using much battery. It doesn't mean it is draining your battery. It only indicates how much more it uses compared to other things. It's normal and you can't do anything about it.

The problem is even after an hour of Asphalt 5 the display took 62% vs Asphalt which took 22%. However, I understand that all actions on the phone including Asphalt require the display so it will use up alot of energy. Was just hoping there was a way to decrease the battery usage.

I am able to do all that also, but can't backup and can't install anything. I get error can't mount data/recovery and aborts.
ok... so i'm trying for the 100th time to install this silly thing... and for some reason... when i try to run it... it kicks me out...
i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong...
when i attempt to pause the install process... i get a screen full of if i type adb without an argument...
if someone could gimme a hand with this or tell me what the hell i am doing wrong... i'd appreciate it...
i wanna try to get laidaxin's cm7.2 working on my phone...
i dunno if it matters... but i am attempting to install from a windows xp machine...
Hello!
First, Thanks to all people around this work, specially Laidaxin for good work.
Well, sadly... I also still stuck on install the FlipSide recovery option of the first post... I did all te proccess by eleven times, testing different details that may be not clear for me (as run as administrator, with abd CMD screen closed and opened, if the version of adb never shows me the logs that appears in cmd screenshot... several times I got on the FlipSide the screens talking about su and later 2ndinit script got superuser permissions... but the screens of cmd generated by the script are so fast that was not able to read or check if the 2ndinit script was succesfull or if there something else that may be failing/missed... so by now still no luck)
as a resume, in hope that may help to test from new friends around here:
1) I reflashed my FlipSide to stock with sbf from the other thread tutorial (I use sbfflash in linux and everything works fine, using Power+UParrow in keyboard to enter in bootloader mode my Flipside)... and then I insert my SIM and SD card wiped with only the CM7-Laidaxin.zip file on it, ...complete setup as minimal possible in order to be able to set USB mode to memory access, and turn on usb development in applications menu.
2) Then I ROOT with SuperOneClick version 2.1.1!!! and connect my phone in normal use screen home (NOT bootloader mode!) with UBS debugging turn on and with USB mode set to memory card access (NOT Moto Portal No Media access...), the other methos with Z4root and newer versions of SuperOneClick FAILS for me...
3) I then try to install recovery with Laidaxin installer and procedure, but as I said after some attemps I still not success in get the recovery working, also try diferent ways... removing battery then reboot with VolumeDown pressed, Turn off normal and repeat, turning ON AND AFTER see the Red Moto press the VolDown key short time, later maintained it long, then pressing it several times, etc...
So, I made this resume in order to share info from my side and hope to save some time to other friends that may want to test the CM7 from Laidaxin, than in fact seems like a GREAT work for our Flips... so please if any help to get this fully working and tested will be very gratefull...
Best regards!

Hi!
Ok, I am not totally sure, but I suspect that this is the original link of this recovery, however, just now I need to go to my work, so, I do not have chance right now to check it, but hope may be usefull.

You should be able to install it like this:
- Extract everything in the "data" folder into a folder called "bootmenu" on your sdcard
- Then use either "adb shell" from a command prompt, or Terminal Emulator on the phone should work:
Code:
su
cp -R /sdcard/bootmenu /data/bootmenu
cd /data/bootmenu
chmod 0755 *
./install.sh
And it should say "Install complate...."
You can also remove the folder(s) if you want:
Code:
rm -R /data/bootmenu
rm -R /sdcard/bootmenu
Then to get into it, reboot the phone and once the notification light turns on, hit volume down
You my friend.... are the ****ing man...

One thing doesn't work though... it can't unmount system... so I was unable to do a nandroid restore... rather depressing....

I ran into the same problem but mine also stopped me from installing any other rom to test, run, or otherwise. I'm at a standstill in terms of helping test.

laidaxin's rom replaces this recovery with one that doesn't quite work perfectly yet...
You should be able to boot back into CM7 and re-run the above commands and it'll work again
That doesn't change anything for me... it still won't unmount system...
I think if I read the output from the script install...
Our recovery installs to system... since Motorola doesn't love us

Maybe try "rm -R /system/bootmenu" then install it...

It does the same for me, which is what's keeping me from trying CM7, as I have no way to restore my current nandroid. The defy installs their recovery to /system as well and I gather that it works as intended, I wonder if it's that we need our own build of CWM. Do we know if whoever built CWM for the defy has their source tweaks available?
Unless you have something irreplacable in your /system or /data... I would just have RSD lite and an sbf ready... and take the plunge...
Because....
When you use CM7... apps2sd moves not only the apk... but also the lib files to the sd card...
As long as you switch the 'network operator' to GSM only (in wireless and networks)... laidaxin's kang runs beautifully... much much faster than stock

Link2SD has no problem moving the lib files in our stock rom... I'm no stranger to reflashing with RSD Lite, it's just tedious to get everything set back up JUST right, and this is exactly the kind of thing nandroid is great for.
Hallo,
I am using CM7 on my little Samsung Galaxy Y, but forgot the pattern I set.
I tried a lot, and after that, I remembered it again, but it is not useful anymore, it is asking me for my Gmail account, I KNOW the password, but can't remember the email anymore.
How can I get my SMSs (I only need them for very important number there).
Thank you.
Do you have usb debugging on you device? If yes, download android sdk and run those commands:
adb -d shell
sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
update system set value=0 where name=’lock_pattern_autolock’;
.exit
exit
adb reboot

or
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
exit
adb reboot

If you dont have, i think a factory reset is needed :/

This might be silly but it might work too (I have not tried but heard that it works) Insert sim card in your Galaxy Y, Dial your number from any where else (Frens cellphones you might pay him for that) Accept the call Don't end call rather press the button one at middle (it minimize your calling process) and navigate to Message and note that number.In that process try this too If play store can be started while minimized calling download any lock-screen application apply that And you should not flash it.
If above didnt work few suggestions Just copy the clockwork mode to SD card (Send it via SD CARD) Now backup the OS and flash it to default rom if you want to use it now for calling purpose or using it and you can revert it's backup and try entering password again in future.
If it really worked Please look at thanks button below

This is a really good tip man!
But if he recover the backup the password will return too I think.

This work-around didn't work for me, it didn't allow me to go anywhere else. But thanks however for the answer
