Modded HTC IME keyboard

[di11igaf]

i had this keyboard on 2.1 but kinda forgot about when i went to 2.2. its a nice keyboard and im sure some of you already have it but for those who dont, im attaching the 2 apk's for this. one is the keyboard and one is the calibrator. you can push these to data/app or just copy to sd card and install with root explorer, astro, etc. install the keyboard first, then the calibrator tool.

Does Haptic Feedback (vibrates after tapping a key) actually work on this when using 2.2?

Thank you so much for this. I've been using the stock 2.2 Android keyboard and it had some small annoyances this eliminates. Thanks again!

I was doing some more forum lurking, trying to figure out what makes this keyboard vibrate on keypress unlike it's AOSP counterpart, and I came across this: http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/

Let's you custom theme your HTC_IME keyboard anyway you want. I just cloned the Cyanogen mod keyboard cause it was all black with a fairly dark lettering color so it doesn't light up my face at night causing temporary blindness. I had to make a custom space bar image cause I didn't want the one used in the preset one. I attached the .apk to this post.

Edit: Attached are some screenshots.

Does multitouch work? The HTC_IME I'm using on Froyo has bad multitouch so letters are often left behind, even if multitouch works it sucks. Is this any better?

I don't know if its just a case of the grass being greener oan the other side but I don't understand the desire to add this key board. I find the samsung keyboard to be supoirior to this. With a few quirks. And the droid x to be slightly better but over rated. I find it easiest to type on the Samsung multi touch. But the lack of caps lock is annoying. Maybe that will be fixed in the official froyo. I use swype when I hold the phone with one hand but typing with both hands I need a proper multi touch.

I am trying to use Astro File Manager to open HTC_IME_hi22.apk and it says "Could not open /sdcard/HTC_IME_hi22.apk as APK file.

I am rooted, and used rafter109's OCD De-Cripple function to enable sideloading.

Any help would be appreciated.

More of a preference. I got used to the HTC keyboard and it's quirks and how it works, and I like it. The Samsung keyboard is good, and the Android one is downright annoying at times, but this one I LOVE.

Solution: don't use Linda. Use Astro or Root Explorer.
