Sir gIMpSTa .

I have been trying to make a new keyboard and ran into a problem with the site.

when trying to create my own primary or function keys,
I get as far as the "The next step will automatically take place on another server and load in an iframe below this text.
You must wait until you see the "All Done!" message before continuing".


and the "All Done" never shows up.

+1..............

Hey Gimpsta, hope all is well, just have a quick request.

can you add the new gingerbread keyboard with arrows?
I can post a download if needed.

or even better the ability to upload our own HTC_IME.apk.

So love this mod.

I'm using my new HTC Vivid with the stock keyboard and I miss this modded keyboard. I now have to long press the voice input key for voice input. Short pressing gives me language options. Why does HTC think we would be changing our input language more often than using voice input?

I also miss the custom haptic setting. I know other market keyboard apps have that, but I prefer HTCs layout.

Support for qhd displays coming soon?

And +1 for arrows...can they be toggled by long pressing space bar?

You can't know your limits until you exceed them.

Will these keyboards work on the HTC sensation? And will it still be a trace enabled keyboard?

If and when i figure out how to mod the keyboard, you can send me the images and i'll import them for you.
should have read the post as to looking it over, I can tell you this, the main board keys are one image. then space has a few and then the function keys. so if it was possible you would have to edit alot of xml's and samli files to point to each key as they would all be independent.

now i know you can add a shadow to the font if you are editing the smali files, not sure how it would look. but the images would be easy enough so long as the we're png's, all you would need to do is turn them into .9.png's. which you could copy from the original.

P.S if you try this let me know and i'll share some links to the software you will need.

1) Is this just re-theme of the stock keyboard?
2) if not, support for other language layouts?
3) can you add measurements for custom graphics? I just hate streched graphics and love to be on the pixel.. /:
4) A FAQ in the main post with questions like these wouldn't hurt..

And lastly, great job so far! Too bad aboit the layout of the kitchen, I'd love to clean it for you, just don't have the time ):

    The reason I've been slower at posting requests lately is about to come clear!

    I have created an "online kitchen" of sorts for creating custom skinned, signed, HTC_IME high and low res apk files. This means you guys can very easily create your own skins and customize the ones I've created!

    What is this?

    A website you can visit on your computer or directly from your phone that will let you a> create a custom skinned keyboard based off of any of the images currently in the library (various colored keys, backgrounds, etc) with whatever text color you want and b> customize existing "skins" (will be known as "presets") however your heats desire.

    Currently, it should be considered very beta. All the features that are here should be working 100%.

    Why beta, that sounds scary?

    It's beta for a couple of reasons, 1 because it's currently UGLY as sin (concentrated on features and back end first) and 2 because I'm actively working on it which means it could break at any time.

    What is the point of this?

    Besides the fact that you can now customize the hell out of the way your keyboard looks, it drastically reduces the amount of work I have to do in the future. Currently, i'm uploading 46 pre-themed apk files for every single update. While this isn't really a big deal since I automated the process, it slows down how quickly I can put up updates. With this new method, all I have to do is upload the original unthemed keyboard apk and classes.dex for each new version and my work is done!

    Everything else:

    If you select a preset, you will still be asked to choose each portion of the keyboard (background, buttons, text color etc). The image with the yellow border around it (you'll see what I mean) is the default "piece" for the preset.

    One last thing, depending on server load it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to generate the keyboard. Most of the time I suspect it will be < 1 minute tho.

    I don't mind if you use this to generate a keyboard and include it with something (theme/morph) or post it somewhere, just give due credit :)

    Pre-themed/Pre-built skinned keyboards.

    Custom skins for Jonasl's HTC_IME high res.

    These are signed with the exact same certificate that jonasl uses so if you can install his, you can install these and go back and forth with no problem.

    These are no longer flashable update.zip files, all you need to do is download the zip file, extract the HTC_IME_hi.apk to your sd card and install with a file manager (linda, or something that supports reinstalling for future installs).

    Special note, if you have not already installed v22 or higher, I highly suggest you read Jonasl's thread here for important information regarding this keyboard. You will need to re-enable and completely reconfigure this keyboard after installing (only if you haven't already done v22+).

    One last note, there is a new hi res Clicker.apk available too. I have not included it in these downloads, you will need to get that from the official HTC_IME Mod download if you haven't already! Update: or get it here -> Clicker_hi.zip

    v24 links removed because v25 is now available in the kitchen, screenshots represent some of the many themes you can create there!

    Sir. gIMpSTa

    First off I would like to say that your site is amazing. I have made several custom keyboards for some popular roms on XDA Vibrant Development Section using your site (All props went to you in all of my posts) and had no problems until now.

    When I go through the steps to Create custom primary/function keys as i have done before, I get as far as this step,,,,,

    >The next step will automatically take place on another server and load in an iframe below this text. You must wait until you see the "All Done!" message before continuing.<

    The "All Done" Text never appears. I takes several minutes and page stops loading like before but never shows up. when clicking on the button to go to the next step, just loads an error page.

    If I go through the steps to make a keyboard using pre-existing keys, No problems.

    Looks to me like the server that is linked to that "Create custom primary/function keys" is not working.

    I used 3 different internet connections with 3 different devices, Makes no difference.

    has anyone else been having the same problems???

    Please look into this and let me know, Thanks

    Thanks for the kind words!

    And thanks for pointing that out to me. My VPS had locked up, it is being restarted right now!

    Edit: This is fixed! Thanks again.

    This is great, got it to work on my Moto Atrix using the v27-optus 2x as the base (whatever that means) BUT it sits over tot he left of the screen with a gap on the right, it is possible to have it modded for the Atrix either slightly bigger buttons OR sit it nicely in the middle?

    It looks and feels lovely just that minor thing to make it perfect :)

    Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot that can be done (at least by me, at this time) for resolution issues. I can take a look later but no promises that I will be able to do anything.
