HTC_IME_hi.apk is the Xperia10 keyboard

HTC_IME_themed_by_gIMpSTa.apk is the red and black keyboard

Couldn't get the red themed one working. Installed it, selected it from the keyboard selection settings.. tried restarting the phone/etc, still won't work. What is the trick to get it working?

Try installing the one that says it is an upgrade, i got it to work. the Red is pretty cool.

Install the Xperia10 theme first n then install the red theme last, it should ask to upgrade. See of that work.

Hey guys, i got it working, all you do is install the file from gimpsta, go to language/keyboard activate the HTC IME MOD. then go to any where u can get a text field (messages/mail/gtalk/sms) touch and hold the entry field, choose text input and change to htcime mod

Heres mine

I made my own keyboard scheme, and after I install the custom keyboard, it still uses the default keyboard instead. any suggestions.

Nevermind... after restarting it worked.

Worked for me.

o Downloaded both APK files located in the first post of this thread.
o Installed the HTC_IME_hi.apk First
o Activated it: Menu > Language & keyboard > Select THC_IME mode
o Installed HTC_IME_themed_by_gIMpSTa.apk
o Turn HTC_IME as active keyboard. I used email, compose, Press and hold below the signature. Window pops up, Select Input Method and chose HTC_IME mod.
o I also reset (powered off and then back on) the phone.

Below is the two keyboard layouts. One for Alpha the other Numeric.

I just want to thank whoever put this together, I spent about an hour making different themes, one thing I wish we could keep on the themed keyboards is the button on the bottom left that drops the keyboard out of view.

 

[krelvinaz]

I do miss that, but... all you need to do is hit the back button on the bottom and it does the same thing.

There is an easy solution to this, that is a bit "cooler" than the button. In the keyboard options, you can enable "Gestures" Swiping Up, Down, Right, or Left can be programmed to a few commands, including "hide keyboard"

I personally have:
Swipe Down = Hide Keyboard
Swipe Back = Delete last word

Thanks for krelvinaz and shizs14 for the mod.

This keyboard is well and above better than the regular keyboard, almost just for the extra options available to the user! The color is a bonus.

Krelvinaz:
I might suggest modifying step 5 to compose a new item, and "Long press in text box" the part about the signature threw me off a bit. It wasn't clear to me at first.

For me, I can switch keyboard in any text box (not contact input) on the fly by doing this.
Works great when handing your phone to rookie, or someone who wants to try the different keyboards, I have Stock set to "Full Querty", this IME mod to Compact (my default) and Swype as a fun alternate.

All you have to do is enable it in settings Or, rather, disable the smiley button.

Keyboard settings -> user interface -> smiley hack

great tip, thanks

Since upgrading to 2.2, this doesn't seem to work any more. Load okay, but when you go to use it, it errors out.

Sorry!
The application HTC_IME mod (process jonasl.ime) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Have been using the non-red themed one.

I've looked at what I thought was newer, but that would not load at all.

Any suggestions?

**EDIT**

The HTC-IME theme builder works...

Keyboard Theming

Is it possible to theme the HTC sense keyboard and have it not default to the Android keyboard??
