HTC Touchinput in 1.5 - G1 General

My friend is unhappy with the Android touch keyboard, and he discovered that switching the input language to Chinese replaces it with the HTC TouchInput. Does anyone know if it's currently possible to replace the Android touch keyboard with HTC's version without switching the language? I'm attaching a screenshot that he took of it. Thanks.

Why? Switching the input doesn't affect the usage at all. You get the bonus of inputting Chinese, and lose nothing.

I didn't know this, thanks
Oh, would you happen to be able to tell me where to get it? My friend doesn't remember since he did it when he first got his G1.

[APP]Stocker - finger friendly stock tracker

This is a finger friendly stock tracker. You will need CFNET3.5. While not specific to the Diamond, I have not tested this on any other device but my Diamond. Its should work on qvga devices, but I have not tried it yet. Leave suggestions in this thread, as I will monitor it. Play and have fun.

Symbols?
Hi!
Could you give me an advice which short symbols i have to use?
I am from Germany. We use dfferent Numbers etc.
Anyway the program idea is great.
Cheers
Max
Not too sure how to use this..
Added the symbol but it just didn't logon to the net to update any information. Clicked on the refresh button didn't work either.

Not sure what the problem would be. My Diamond always has GPRS on, so let me see if I can disconnect it, then run Stocker.
nice idea - i do suggest adding an exit program option to settings.
Please, what is a stock tracker ?

That is just it. Tracking stocks on Wallstreet.
Thank you.
I'm french, I didn't understand "stock"
thanks for your app, however Its not of much use to me...
I have entered different stock symbols, with dot or comma (kat.ca / kat,ca) but its just not able to get any infos from the net... not even the gold price is trackable (xau,co), is it only grabbing wallstreet info?
It would be great if you could implement more markets, is that possible?
thanks,

Same problem with my Samsung Omnia. Tried german and us symbols. only says N/A...
Been looking for something like this...have any screen prints? Does it track multiple tickers at once, or must enter one ticker at a time? I'm looking for at least 12 tickers to update when requested.
Thanks, and keep up the great work everyone!!!
View Details of Stock & deleting stocks
Hi,
I've been using this application for past 2-3weeks and I like it a lot. It gives me instant information about the Indian stocks & markets.
However, I have couple of issues.
1. How can I view the details of the stock? In Softpedia, there are screen shots of the application displaying details like stock graph, day low/high, etc. But, I'm not able to get this screen.
2. I've entered some wrong stock code which I'd like to delete. However, pressing the delete button in the menu does not do anything.
Regards,
Pradeep
Good one, but:
1. Screenshots please
2. Tracks more than 1 stock?
3. Global markets support - NYSE, NASDAQ, LDE, FTSE, CAC40, HangSang, etc .... which ones?

Keyboard doesnt pop up in landscape

Hi,
has anyone else the same problem?
the keyboard doesnt pop up when clicking on a text box. not even the keyboard-sign appears in the lower bar, so typing is not possible. it is esp. annoying in opera because browsing is kind of senseless without a keyboard.
i'm using my touch hd exclusively in landscape mode. The autorotate program is flip it and im running duttys v3.
would like to know if more ppl have this problem

that was me posting in the dutty v3 thread but there werent many replies. only one or two encountered the same problems since a lot of the dutty users seem not use landscape mode.
apart from that i dont really know if this has to be discussed in the dutty development thread since it could also be a problem of winmo or flipit or anything else. my research brought me to the conclusion that winmo is responsible for showing an input device whenever a text box is marked.
also the dutty thread is too big already. i have to read 10 or more pages to see if someone answered to the question. too many ppl asking how to flash or how to make their cats flash devices
so, if anyone has the same problem pls post here with your config
thx

Sorry if these same obvious or if you have already tried/stated these. I'm just asking these questions to get a better understanding of your problem and to see if I can replicate/solve your issue
Have you had similar problem on any other roms?
Is it standard HTC keyboard you are using?
Have you tried using HDTweak Automatic display pop up?
Have you tried a hard reset and then testing keyboard before installation of apps, then adding each app one at a time to see if any of them are conflicting with it?

I don't think I've had this problem on a non-Dutty ROM, but I'm not sure about that.
I use Fingerkeyboard.
I haven't tried the tweak you mention - but I'm not sure it would change anything since the problem is NOT PERMANENT! Sometimes the keyboard does pop up, sometimes it doesn't. Seems to be pretty random...

SOrry for the late reply...
i dont think i had the same problem with standard rom (autorotate app was changescreen)
i tried standard htc and fingerkeyboard
no, i havent tried hdtweak since the duttyroms are already tweaked by duttythroy and i dont want to mess it up. what exactly does the function "automatic display pop up"?
i hard reset after flash and tested directly afterwards. same problem.
does anyone know if this problem is still in duttys 3.3?
thx
hdizzel
The problem is still there in v3.3,i have read every possible thread and did every possible search,i cannot find anything mentioned about this and i cannot find a solution. It is kinda lame to have to rotate the phone everytime i need to write smthing on opera,but meh i can live with this inconvenience, Dutty's Rom is worth it tbh.
Even so if anyone finds anything pls report back would be nice to solve this

Currently using V3.3 and I'm still not replicating your problem. If I use Opera or msm in landscape fingerkeyboard automatically pops up for me.
I've used HD Tweak with basically every rom I've flashed and had no problems with it. I'd go as far as saying it actually improves the phones experience and userability.
Try using it and see if it also helps you with your keyboard display
The funny thing is that i have HD Tweak installed(and auto pop enabled),and had it on every rom i used(well basically all of Dutty's Roms since 2.4),dont know what is going on.Maybe it is smth else on my phone,will try reflashing and using Fingerkeyboard only as the first app.Btw this only happens in opera for me.

ok, I finally see were your coming from as I am experiencing it as well. Not sure why this is though. I'll look into it and see if I can find a solution.
I never really use landscape to be honest, especially in Opera as loading time of pages is slower.
well i use landscape on opera mainly for forum browsing cause i can see more text!anyways awaiting on news about this,and i am gonna try some tweaking around myself.
Arrgh!!! Really annoying, Clownshoes figured it out before me!!! LOL. Trust you mate!!
Ok mate, it seems it does work, you have to hold down for 2 secs in input field, no more, no less and it should then pop up. You can thank Clownshoes for that one!
Let me know how you get on

Hmm,i might be doing something wrong,i press and hold in the input field for 2secs or so and nothing really happens,well if i press for more the opera menu pops up "select all" but other than that nothing.
Maybe it has something to do with keyboard settings like the popup timer or something similar,although my settings are on default. i'll keep trying though.
Thanks for trying to solve this

ok, which method are you using to rotate opera? Are you using FlipIt?
I've noticed if I set flipit to 0 and 270 degrees and then enter opera. The first time the keyboard will not pop up. But if I exit opera and then re-enter it works fine.
Have you tried a soft reset?
It seems to be very sensitive. Try using just the tip or nail of your finger in the text entry area for about a second.
It also helps if you double tap to zoom into the text entry box.
I've just tested it by doing it over and over again and using the tip of my finger seems to work every time.
this is very weird,i got it to pop but it is extremely sensitive,dunno what makes it behave like this.
Anyways thanks for the solution guys.

HTC IME with Speech to Text

Hello!
Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I searched for it and could not find any info, although I swear I read a post about it the other day.
Anyway, where can I get the HTC IME with the Text to Speech function? Im on Tainted Vanilla and want to add that IME to it..
thanks.
I posted this the other day but it didn't seem like anyone cared.
-
I took the HTC_IME keyboard with voice input from the leaked myTouch Slide ROM and to my surprise it worked on the Eris. The only problem I've noticed is the user dictionary will crash when you try to open it. If someone would like to fix it that would be great.
While I think you're better off with jonasl's HTC_IME mod I think some people may prefer this.
Download HTC_IME-vi.zip (mirrors)
Download HTC_IME-vi-undo.zip (mirrors)
Copy HTC_IME-vi.zip to your sdcard and flash it as you would any other zip.
Flash HTC_IME-vi-undo.zip to get rid of this keyboard and go back to the default HTC_IME.
I don't know what will happen if you use this on a ported Hero or other custom ROM. I can tell you that it works on a plain rooted ROM.

I downloaded and installed the HTC_IME Mod and when I went to use it for the first time I got a security message saying that any text entered including conversations, passwords, and credit card information can be recorded and sent to the developer.
I am deleting it right away ! ! !

That's the default message you see when you install a keyboard. You'll see the same thing if you try Swype. But don't install if you're not comfortable
Ohh, I see. I am new to all this.. So this program can not capture that information then? What is Swipe?

I suppose in theory it could, but the one I posted is straight from an HTC ROM and the HTC_IME mod has the source available. If there was anything fishy in it someone would've spotted it by now. This is Swype.

It means you would flash it like any other zip through the recovery menu. This is only for rooted phones.

SWYPE

I downloaded a CAB for SWYPE for TMObile HD2. Once it installed and did a soft reset, it told me my Password on key lock was wrong (when it wasn't). Had to a hard reset. Got everything working again. Reinstalled SWYPE again, same result. It seems to corrupt the password. Anyone else have the same problem? Could it be because my phone isn't with TMobile?

Did you read what was written in the thread where you downloaded it ? It is said at every place where you find swype, that there are problems like these... Go search for swype on this forum and youll find the answer...

This has just happened to me a couple of minutes ago !!!!
My phone is on T-Mobile HD2 - although I no longer have a T-Mobile ROM installed !!
Looks like a full rebuild for me as well
Please post a resolution if you find one!!!!
Hard Reset is your answer.
There are literally loads of threads about the issues of installing TMOUS Swype on a non-TMOUS HD2. A quick search would have saved you from the pain.
Just for fun
Well in my opinion swype is not the option u need to own, i tried it several times but takes a longer time to write what u want, so it's easier to use the regular keyboard. I think it's just for fun!

Just search for WVGA SWYPE v.2 for SAMSUNG,Im using it for the last 2 months its I should say one of the most incredible app I ever used,its a great joy to '"type"on this board,just read the tutotrial,you can do that by tapping and holding the Swype logo on the buttom left of the keybord.
I myself suffered from previous versions and had to HR couple of times but with this no problem at all.

[Q] Missing fifth row with numbers on keyboard

Hi,
I am a user of DesireZ for three months, after 2 years with G1, and so far I found it...even depressing (sic!), that the keyboard has no numbers row but only the combination of Fn + key.
How do you find it ? Any extra method of typing IP numbers for example ? or numbers with spaces e.g. +48 123 456 789 ? Please tell I me I get used to use it
Solution for me would be, and this is a question, there is a way to map two programmable keys to "space" and "comma". Possible ?
Cheers,
Whatlogin
I was a migrant from the g1 as well and found it hard to get used to at first. It isn't all that bad though considering you can press the fn key twice in succession and then the top row will work as a numbers row rather than letters. Apart from that, I don't have a solution sorry
I think I remember someone posting an apk in here that would show numbers row at the bottom of a screen as soon as you'd pulled out the keyboard in 'txt writing mode'. Mind you, it was way back in dec or jan... Try search?
I used to have it but it didn't work for me as I seem to remember it required root (I don't have that yet)
See if you find it, good luck
edit: I did find the file in my fone (!)
I take no credit for it nor responsibility whatsoever!!!
Sadly, I do not know who made that either (to credit them) but here it is...
good luck
Wow! TA for replies.
@HAK Devil: I know, but permanent Fn switch the "space" to XT9 and "." to ":"
@wolek76: this is exactly something that could sort out my needs. I should have been looking for G2 rather than DesireZ
Anyway - here is the thread regarding to whole idea and developer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813742
I haven't have a chance to have it working yet - but good to know I am not alone
Regards,
Whatlogin
You should keep your G1 as a backup phone incase the DZ goes wrong and you end up having to send it back for repairs. After 7 months the touchscreen on my old DZ kept sticking in one particular place and HTCs idea of "fixing it" was to kill 1/3 o fthe touchscreen, which was really annoying so after a month of heavy duty legal pressure (thanks to my partner), they coughed up a replacement.
Short version: I wouldn't ditch the rock solid G1 if I were you, it'll one day come in handy.
Hey I tried installing this and it wouldn't show up at all. Enabled it in keyboard settings, fixed permissions; nothing worked.
Has anybody gotten this to work? And have there been any updates on it?
One of the biggest probs I've had with this phone was the 5th number row. You do eventually get used to it, for the most part lol.
What keys did you have in mind for the swap?
Also, I think you may need root for this method to work. Are you rooted?

Even my old Nokia E70 had better keyboard than Vision/Desire Z has. That is so sad :-(

It did not work with me as well, thought when it got updated to 2.3.3 it actually started working no problem. Still there is a problem with Fn and 'shift' keys. I have no root and I haven't change anything to my phone apart from allowing installations from other sources.

Hi,
I am not rooted and as I mentioned - this does not work yet well. Check out also the thread I listed above. It is still being under development.
The two keys I was thinking about was the programmable keys that can be used for apps and so on.
I know I will get used to it. The easiest is type everything and come back to paste special symbols I guess like "ftp19216811://..." ha ha Maybe HTC want to make people stop writing like U2, sk8 is gr8, 4me and use proper language
Cheers!
