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
Edit: your right, i did mean the first page of the other thread!

I could be on the wrong problem here, but is it giving you the message that that type of file is not compatible with the phone? or something like that?
if so, just use astro file manager (from the market) and go to menue >>more >>preferences >>enable browser downloader and check that.
thats what worked for me

Just go to market and download save mms by Andrew Schwimmer. That should hold you off for now.

Hi, i want to sell my phone but before that i need to format everything, even from the phone's trash bin, and have clean windows rom installed. How to do that?
is factory reset enough?

I wouldn't do that.
Just go to the HTC webside and download the latest official rom for your device using your serial number.
Run it and it will certainly clear everything.
i searched in the help section and all over htc website, and i cant find where to download this rom...
PS: thanks for the info though, i didnt know i can format my phone that way

Hi,
I have mistakenly deleted my Do Not Disturb program from my MIUI 1.8.5 rom, now when I go into the DND settings in messages it FC's and I would like to get it back.
Can someone please provide me with an Apk (english) or a zip that contains it that will suit this version so I can inject it back into my rom?
Thanks in Advance!

Dont have it.... Sorry but now you learn the hard way to back up your Rom in nand (clockwork) before attempting any changes
Trust me I used to mess stuff up too. Now i'll bite the bullet and wait the 5 minutes to back up my rom. And in case **** hits the fan i can easily go back
Or use DROID EXPLORER and pull the app from the rom you used to flash to the phone. Its in the Data folder

Hi!
I'm Johnson. My friend tried unlocking my phone and it got locked.
The phone is currently running on the SD version of AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.2
The phone's wifi has been switched off and i don't know how to switch it on with the phone locked.
Further I had enabled 2-step verification for my Droid and an application specific password for it which I don't know though I know the real password of my account.
Pretty tricky huh? ...any solutions on how to recover the phone without hard resetting the device?
well ... the only solution short of resetting would be to wish you luck!?! sorry no help i know but it sounds like you have quite the delima!
cheers

Try fresh installing and then copying over the old data img? I have no clue if that would possibly work but it's the only thing I could think of, so try it anyway Good luck.
EDIT: This is a youtube video showing how to bypass the lock screen, doubt it still works on GB but hey, why not?
I have got an idea, but dont know how to work out( jus coz i dont know which is the file i am going to talk about). Find the file which saves ur personal info like passwords acounts etc. Copy an untouched file ( the very same one) from the zip of the rom( the very same rom which u have on ur phone now), make a cwm flashable zip with it in the way the new file will replace ur current file in ur phone. Flash it. Done.
All i can help u is, if u find out which file is it,and upload an untouched one from the roms zip,i can make u a cwm flashable zip for it.

SD Android, everything is stored on the data.img as far as I know, and CWM etc is completely out of the question. Anyway, I assume he's done something or the other by now because he's hardly going to be able to survive by using WinMo for a day

thing is ... either i'll havto switch wi-fi on and login or i'll have to extract contacts, messages etc. from data.img ... anyideas?
heyy! u mallu?! xD
I still have the old data.img ... so i could still replace that in the android folder and boot it ...but it's of no use coz after it boots up...it asks for the application specific password that i dont know...
so ...
-either i'll somehow have to get wi-fi on, or
-i'll have to extract contacts, messages etc. from data.img through the comp
any ideas?
Google search for some thing that can mount data.img of nandroid backup in pc or phone.
