Has anyone been able or tried to install the HTC_ime keyboard onvy froyo add get it to work ? When I installed it I got a force close loop.

Only the 1.5 version of the HTC_IME keyboard works with the 2.2 ROM. Unfortunately, the voice input does not work since it is only the 1.5 version. This is the version that works.

There are two .apk to install and both are in the zip file... with the time spent posting that question you could have just opened it and found out what was inside

I use ShapeWriter and it works perfectly.

@derekwilkinson - i dont think it was necessary for you to get smart all i did was ask a simple question b/c i didnt know. being the smart ass you seem to be you should have realized i didnt know i was supposed to unzip it until i realized the flash failed and said it wasnt working !

Use a file explorer like Astro to open the .zip. You should get an option to open with app manager (or something along those lines ha ha) and you should be able to install.

pushing necessary lib files will enable farther versions of the IME keyboard to work, you still dont get voice recognition to work but the keyboard is there.

[Q] How to install Swype on Epic

I accidentally deleted my swype system app backup. Now I am trying to reinstall it back by taking swype.apk from system dump that I downloaded somewhere on this forum and place it to System/app then run the install.
Everything looks fine as far as installation but then when I try to use it, it always says that this swype was configured for different devices. I am able to type using swype keyboard but I am not able to swype.
Anyone has any idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
Hien Khieu.

[Q] Questions on themes and deodexing

Ok I've managed to get my device rooted and overclocked, I have Bootstrapper and Clockwork Mod. My question is am I deodexed and am I ready for themes now

No, you have three options:
1) Manually deodex your phone
2) Install a Rom that's already been deodexed
3) Download and flash your stock files for deodexed ones

Ok how do I know which themes have been deodexed already and how do I know what apex I have

If you browse the droid x themes and apps section of xda, the theme creator will tell you what has been deodexed or not. I know the 928 blackglass theme is deodexed already but I do not know of many themes that come deodexed. Of you wish to deodex your phone, search google for "xUltimate 2.2 Manually deodex your phone".
As for apex...this is a custom ROM, so this will not be running on yout phone yet, you would have to install it of this is the ROM you wish to run.

I have a feeling that after I deodex I'm still not done ...lol I actually tried loading the DXred theme the other day and it worked ..then I noticed that the dialer button didn't work then it killed my service ...ya think that happened because I was not properly deodexed?

Probably. After you deodex you should be ready for loading up a custom theme. Be sure to read any instructions specific to the theme you apply.

Ah, ok. Xultimate is an application that runs on your computer, not your phone.
If you have your phone rooted, and know how to use the Droid X bootstrap to install .zip files, then download this file:

Run this with Droid X bootstrap and you will be deodexed, and not need xultimate.

Ok after a lot of research I finally understand the whole thing.....most if the themes I see on line you need a custom ROM to run them which of course I'm running stock therefore I have to choose from the stock ones which is cool. I found a pretty cool one called Executive Red and it's working perfect. Thank you very much for all of your help

No problem. Glad to hear you got where you want to be. I would recommend just doing some research, and when you feel like you're comfortable, try out one of the custom ROMs. I regret not jumping into one a little sooner. They really have a great advantage many times.
Look into themes from Bignadad. He does themes for liberty, rubix, and did one for the original 2.3.15 OTA. Check him out on twitter as well, and you can keep up on what he is working on. I would recommend Bignadad by far, he is in my opinion the most thorough with his themes, and they always look amazing.

I know you didn't think I was finished ....lol ok here we go...since i've rooted seems that I have access to the 3G hot spot I tried connecting to my lap top it appeared to connect but did not work ....any idea?

You have to pay for the hotspot app to work unless you perform another modification such as the one that team black hat released to use it for free.

Ok so even though my lap top sees it and says it's connected they (Verizon )can still block you? And how do I get this mod from team black hat

Yes, it will say its there, but you cannot use it without paying (kinda). There is another mod, where you start the program, then put the plane in airplane mode, then disable airplane mode and it works as if you had subscribed to the service...
or there is the tbh hack.. which they say is unethical, and they don't condone, so please read the whole page before using this... just a disclaimer.

You basically download a .zip and flash it in clockworkmod recovery.

[Q] News / Weather App for MIUI

I was using MIUI by TDJ and the Weather / News app was extremely useful. I have switched to InsomMIUI and was wondering if anybody has ported this app to other MIUI builds. Is there a way to get it on InsomMIUI? I am a noob so cannot post in the InsomMIUI development forum.

I've never used his build, what app is this? I'll look if you reply and see what it is.
this has been a message from the dead pool.

It may be a GAPP
My noobishness makes me think this may be a GAPP. Not sure what it is, here are some screenshots

That's the genie app/widget. Its an aosp app. You can search for it, or maybe someone can upload it. You should be able to just install it like any other app.
I haven't seen or heard anything from the miui weather app in a while.

Thank you for helping me find it! I download the app it is force closing. I tried fixing permissions and that didn't work. Any suggestions?

Try to put GenieWidget apk in system/app direction or put in same folder in .ziped rom and install him when you next time update you miui.

I tried both suggestions and unfortunately neither worked. It still keeps force closing
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Ok, loot this topic or this. If not help delete Genie and try to install this file from recovery.

Finally worked after trying several different versions. I did have to move to the system/app file then fixed permissions. Thanks for all the help folks and for the awesome continued support for MIUI on MT4g LL.

[Q] In need of guidance!!

I recently bought a epic 4g and I got a guy to flash it to cricket for me.
I have had this phone for a while now and I feel like I'm in need of downloading roms onto it.
Before I do so I'm sure someone has already gone through this so ijust want to be on the safe sie that after I get a custom rom eveything will work. Now I know I can root but I need to know more.
1. If I clockwork mod it and what not will my service till work?
2. After I custom rom it will I have to put my service again?
Someone please respond and explain to me what I can and can not do or wht to have caution with. Please make sure though.

Everything will work as long as the ROM you flash supports it. Just read the ROM's bug list to be sure what you need is working..

So flashing it will work no problem, if I want ics anything bad there?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

There shouldn't be..the ROM doesn't interfere with the hardware that connects to your service provider that I am aware of..if it's for the Epic4G, it's for the Epic4G...lol just make a nandroid backup with CWM when you get it installed.

If your wanting ics.. cm9.. then there is an alternative carrier fix that needs to be applied for mms to work but yes it should work just fine on a new ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Not necessarily, afaik AOSP roms like ics do not play nicely with data from other carriers. You might want to change the title of your post to "will cricket wireless work on ics"

I used the CM7 ROM from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495754 to flash my brother's epic... for the most part it works, but he occasionally has some issues getting/sending MMS and (claims) he has to go into airplane mode to get internet to work once in a while.
I can confirm that MMS send/receive does work, it just doesn't seem to be 100% reliable. It could be the fact that he's dropped his phone numerous times, enough to crack the screen.

I'm thinking of just getting cm7, but I'm having issues rooting with odin. My computer doest wanna detect my phone.

Did you install the correct drivers? Do you have a better cable than stock. Have you tried other usb ports. =]
