Pocket CM Keyboard

I've been using pocket cm keyboard on my 8125, but now I get a message saying this version cannot be run after 11/0|/07. I was using version 0.11. Does anyone have the version that can be run after 11/01/07 and post the cab for the download?
Thx!
8125

i'll host!

i get the same thing. I think you just have to download the new one off the pocketcm site

I tried that, and the newest I saw on the website was v.011 which I downloaded and got the same message.

Uninstall, soft reset, redownload the 0.11b, reinstall it should be fine.
I made a mistake in the cab file I posted, sorry for the inconvenience.

I need help actually installing it. I installed the cab file... and you know how you have to change the keyboard from the little triangle by the keyboard button (you know what im talking about). anyway, I change it to Pocket CM, and it switches right back to the origional. what is going on.

steph... i tried that, it didn't work sadly .. I must be doing something wrong.
Ok.. i started over with everything. Removed the Pocket CM from my phone.
Installed the CAB for the SIB thing.
re installed the cab for the pocket CM (iphone one)...
Then, tested it to see if it worked. Didn't (but other keyboards were added strangly... and they worked... except i have no use for them and i want them gone )
Then i found another keyboard that looked cool.. installed the cab (by the way, to the main memory.), didn't work either. even after a few soft resets
has anybody ever had that problem, or know what im doing wrong?
Using a Windows mobile 5... t-mobile MDA. QVGA screen.

Htc keyboard on mytouch 3G

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
R.

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

Any kind Norwegians here?

I flashed my HD2 the other day and forgot to backup my dictionary.
I installed an English rom and it is a big hustle to manualy input every single world.
is anyone kind enough to copy their Norwegian dictionary and send it to me?
it is three files located in My Device;
\Windows\eT9Cdb.Cdb
\Windows\eT9Rudb.Rdb
\Windows\eT9AsDb.Adb

I could help but need advice how to copy them. Find them on the phone but when connected through PC and Explorer, the Windows folder does not show up...
Johan

Uncheck Hide System files (or something like that) in explorer's View settings. Now the Windows folder will show up.

thank you so much!
You'll have to check the option show all files like Dracoster said,
and mark those 3 files and copy them to you'r memory card, then you can plug you device to you'r computer

I now have copied the three files to my storage card and see them there when checking the phone.
When connected to the PC and using explorer from there however, I only see the eT9Cdb-file. The two other files on the card dont show up, although the phone-explorer confirm they are there. I also have ticked the Show hiden files and folders...??
Any further advice?

Swype 1.54.28.7337 QVGA with LS fix

More info on my blog:
http://marurban.netii.net/?p=95
I tested it on my HTC Wildfire. If someone test, please write if it works.

Isn't this warez?
EDIT: Tested, works for a few seconds, then FCes. Would be great if it worked, as I don't think the official Swype supports QVGA. What is LS fix?

Tattoo has a QVGA resolution, I tested it on Wildfire in the official version does not work landscape mode.
LS = Landscape
If on (tattoo) the official version works in landscape mode please delete the topic.

Well, your version doesn't appear to work at all...
Where can I get the original version to test? From market?

sadly i tried it and it force closes

Maby this help:
1. Delete current ver
2. Reboot phone
3. Install SWYPE

I'm trying this right now. I also tried the version without LS fix (with PT fix) and that FC as well, so the problem isn't in the LS fix.
EDIT: No luck Would be great if someone got this going...!

Hi. I have a problem.
I installed swype, then I went to settins> regional settins & text> In text settins check SWYPE box, but when I need the keyboard always is showed the native one.
What is it wrong?

We all have the same problem: read the rest of the thread.

Install this ver. http://www.multiupload.com/HF7FGXI5HT if it will work i add ls fix.

This one just gives me wrong resolution error, doesn't even start.

I have the same problem with the resolution

Worked _____ on my U8100. Are you sure this isn't w___z? Is this time trialed? It's unbelievable. Landscape works great too.

Finnish layout for USB keyboards

First of all, I'm sorry if this is in wrong forum (wasn't sure if I should put this in development or not.)
Thanks to elouch for pointing out the file to be edited.
So, I edited the character layout file to get USB keyboards to work the same way as Finnish (maybe Swedish too?) ones. ä, ö, å all work, there are some special characters that aren't working yet, due to my laziness.
It should be clear that you need root to replace the file (either with root explorer, or adb/qtadb), should backup the file prior to replacing, and that I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING GOING WRONG.
Also I'm not sure if this was the right way to do it, but I haven't noticed any problems/oddities with Thumb Keyboard after editing the file.
Now with that said, grab the download, comment, complain about the keys not working so they can be fixed (at some point).
Just remove .txt from the filename and put the file to /system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm and afterwards plugin a USB keyboard and try it out.

Thanks for posting this. Should work with my Swedish keyboards as well.

Do you think you could do a greek one, too?

Not really soon, because I'm not familiar with Greek alphabet/keyboard layout and in a few days I'm off to vacation....to Greece, lol

Hi Salleq, i`m trying to port italian layout but, after modifyed the .kcm as you, nothing it`s changed.
i`ve tried your file and it`s work great, so i don`t know what i`m wrong.
have you used same particular tool to modify the file?
thanks for the help

Fantastic job you did there, salleq.
Since I'm from Denmark, I would love to be able to use the Danish æøå. I have been looking in your kcm-file file, but I can't figure out what you did to make it work with the Finnish/Swedish characters.
Is it possible you could point me in the right direction. I have already made some changes to some of the other keys, to match my keyboard. Just can't find æøå anywhere.
Thanks in advance.
>>> Update: I figured out, what I was doing wrong. I didn't see you was using Unicode character codes. Easy to fix the keyboard. LOVE my ÆØÅ <<<

Hi and thanks for sharing this.
I have problems getting it to work. I copied the file to /system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm but, even after reboot, I dont get any åäö with external keyboard.
Tried both with an ordinary usb keyboard and a targus bt keybord.
Is there something I have missed? A setting somewhere?
I copied the file both from QtAdb and from a shell on the pad.
The pad is rooted.
Android 3.01
The onscreen keybord is set to swedish and working.

Have you set the file permission after copy that?
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

Hi,
Yes. The permission is set to -rw-r--r--, a chmod 644.
I can't understand why it does not take effect.
I copied the finnish Generic.kcm to qwerty.kcm just in case.
No change.
I even tried to replace the Virtual.kcm but then the terminal emulator crashed when i tried to use external keyboard, so it looks like the os ignores the Generic.kcm

The best way to see what's going wrong is to go on terminal, type ''su'' press enter, and the type ''logcat'', after that plug the usb receiver or keyboard. If an error with the Generic.kcm occour then with logcat you are able to see the code line of the error and fix it...

Got it to work.
I had to remove KEYBOARD_LESS entry and all the gamepad buttons stuff at the end of the file. also moved < and > to alt-, and alt-. since that button don't have an to me known keycode.
But now it works at an usable level.
Is there a tool that can be used to find the keycodes, like xev in "ordinare" linux?
I still need to find the codes for my Targus bt-keyboard, which has an Apple layout.
Thanks for the help!!

Hi, I am looking for the same thing to my Xoom, and Targus keyboard
Found this tool that gives you the keyboard codes, I tried it and it works as far as I can tell
Hmmm.... I am not allowed to post external links...
But if you google: keytest.apk
it will be your first hit
I have not gotten further yet in making my own file, if you solve it I would love a PM

Here is Czech layout.
Works fine with localized Apple BT keyboard nad Iconia A500/3.1.

Should this work on ics roms also? have been fighting with this all morning and cannot get it to work. I can copy it to right place and so on, also corrected permissions but still no go. Any ideas?

I tried it at some point with an ICS rom but like you said, I couldn't get it to work. I remember googling about it some time ago but couldn't find what files are changed and used now.
It's not really a deal breaker for me, I'm not actually using an external keyboard but it was fun to test and get native keymap working. I might try some stuff later if in the mood but for now I have nothing unfortunately
