How do you change keyboards from rom - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently have the android revolution Rom and want to get rid of the arrow keys on the bottom of the keyboard.
So I'm guessing I would have to replace the keyboard completly

Are u kidding? I love those arrows! I wish every keyboard had them! Sometimes in the settings there is an option to remove them..just look under keyboard & input in the settings...

As far as I know that is true unless the keyboard has configuration options, or plugins of some sort.

Nope there is no settings and yeah I don't use the arrows at all just takes up space for me

My favorite is the swype beta, which available for free if you register for it at http://beta.swype.com
Good Luck!

I understand that the easy way out but I like the stock keyboard was looking for someone to tell me how to swap out the keyboard or flash another or something
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

I thought RC tweaks had an option for turning the arrows off?

I looked all over rc Tweaks and didnt see anything about it

If u wanna swap out a keyboard from a different rom just take out the apk and replace it.

Ok thanks and its just a simple cut and paste? Do I have to reflash it with the Rom? Also where would that be located?

Do not proceed if you have no idea what you're doing! i'm not responsible for whatever happens to your device by following this guide.​
Method 1. use a file explorer that has access to the system like root explorer.
make sure you have rw access first
copy the file to /system/app
set permissions to rw r r
reboot
Method 2. use androidSDK/adb
move the file to location of adb i.e C:/androidsdk/platform-tools
connect phone to computer
open command window
type in the following:
Code:
adb devices
adb push location-of-your-file /system/app
adb reboot
you made need to set permissions for it to work
to do that:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /system/app/name-of-file
reboot
both these methods require su and root!

Can you also add a keyboard as a 2nd one..like instead of replacing one, just add an apk and have the option to choose between the 2?

Yeah. When you add a keyboard (like swift key keyboard) just go to settings, language & keyboard, then select your keyboard you just installed. Voila!

One more question.. I looked in system/app with root explorer, and I looked 2 and 3.times, and I see no keyboard apk? Where else could it be or what other name?

Ok, I took the HTC_IME.apk from the LeeDroid Rom which my wife uses, & I put it in the /system/app folder in the Endymion Rom which I am using and I fixed permissions, rebooted, & it works ok til I try to close it after I'm done typing, then it force closes. It just says HTC_ime has stopped suddenly and must close bla bla bla! My 1st thought was that I think LeeDroid is sense 3.0 & this Endymion is sense 3.5? Or is there another way to fix it? Only difference is the arrows across the bottom, which I like. Thanks..

That's what it sounds like. Try taking it from Virtuous Fusion or Unity, then it will probably work.

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

@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.

which rooting guide did you use? did you change your kernel? you need to replace the bcm4329.ko file in /system/lib/modules with the one that corresponds to the kernel you are running...

ok.... DOWNLOAD THIS then put it in the directory with adb. In command prompt navigate to the directory with adb then put these commands in
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
exit
abd push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/
adb reboot
your wifi should be fine after this.
Ok, do I need the terminal emulator? To type these commands

no you need adb... google android sdk download install
if you can't figure that out copy the file to your sdcard then in terminal do this
unplug phone
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/
this should fix it... might take a reboot
Which version do I need? 2.2 or 2.3

It's really not that bad. You just need to slow down, take a breath and follow the instructions and everything will right itself.
Some people always think that there is a one-click solution; when in fact you just need to follow a few precise directions. Key word being 'precise'.
If you want to unroot and go back to stock, check my sig for unrooting.

You may be able to get away with Root explorer, not sure, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Otherwise, what is the problem with adb? Setting it up or actual commands?

stock messaging in cm7

does anyone know how i can remove the stock messaging in cm7 and replace it with the one in wildpuzzle or can i remove it and replace with go sms
You can't install sense apps, and yeah you can install go SMS, I don't see the problem..., if you wanna completely remove the stock app, use adb to remove it or titanium backup.

Replace Sys Apps

I searched on google with no answers so I want to make sure I am right.
I have backed up several htc apps from sense 3.0 like camera, keyboard, etc. I want to replace the RoyalGinger keyboard, camera, etc.
I tried root explorer mount and permissions set right. But once I try instsll it says Application Not Installed
How do I do so, with Root Explorer? ADB?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
by "backed up" do you mean you saved the .apk somewhere? if not, do that first.
Then, with root explorer, navigate to /system/app, mount as r/w and just place those
.apks that you backed up, into /system/app. then reboot

Ok so wifi hotspot showed upin the list but force closes. Inside wireless settings hotspot showsup and works though is that stock to royalginger?
How do I replace apps now? I can add but they wont work, incompatible?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Is it just that app that force closes? have you tried any others?
I believe wifi hotspot is a feature included in royalginger, but i havent used that rom in a long time. You shouldnt need a separate app for it if its inside of Wireless Settings though.
I don't think you can use sense system apps with royal ginger. Specially sense 3.0 system apps

lol i guarantee you do not know each and every dependency required by each Sense app. and they are not in the form of an apk. look through the hundreds of files in the /system/bin and /system/lib folders, then try to tell me you know which files are needed.
