Hi I tired to locate information on this topic first, if I missed it... Dang nab it. Please link me to it, and go easy on my NOOB self.
I just downloaded Pandora the older version from last year I think I read. It will fire up, however at the sign up stage/enter any text point... CRAP! No freaking keyboard option to use my lovely keyboard.
Can I make show the keyboard launch icon over this and or all applications? I do have a Reg Tweaker, and am not afraid to break... err... use it.
And, with this being me first post...
A HUGE THANKS FOR ALL OF THE AWESOME PEEPS who make this forum possible, and everyone else. You made my experience with my Leo outstanding! I never imagined having such a great time on a phone before. LMAO!
OK, my spazzing is over now... I am returning to my more sedate state again...
Dang it... I told people I am a NOOB... Better get a mov'n.
Don''t tell me a little ole noob like me pwnd you with this question.
When my keyboard doesn't pop up & the icon is missing, I just press where the icon should be & normally the keyboard still pops up. Try that.
Doh, it didn't work for me.
Hi, and thanks for the tip.
I tried it and that didn't work in my case.
Now what?

I am using a replacement for the dialpad screen called contactbreeze by www.sbsh.net. It's outstanding!
How can I softcode the big green dialpad button to make use of the replacement dialpad?

I saw that and installed it. It does let you map an application or even a command line statement (among other things) to all the buttons including the big green/red call buttons. Since contact breeze though is simply an extension of pocket breeze, I haven't quite yet figured out how to call it? Has anyone yet figured this out?
Hey guys, wrong forum for this topic. You might have better luck in the General sub-forum, since this is aparently a discussion of a WM5 specific nature.
Now go have fun!
Ok, I hate being a newbie. God I hate being a newbie!
This is a rare problem on electronics forums... there is TOOO much information here!
I've never seen a forum like XDA before. I mean you guys are just freaking brilliant.
I've been into Pocket PCs and Phones for a while... but never into flashing ROMs.
Now with all the apps and tweaks out there, I'm just flooded with information.
I have a Sprint touch pro and after some weird mis-hap I had to hard-reset my phone.
So now I have a blank slate.
I've been doing ALOT of reading today. About 12 hours worth and I'm still left with a "DDDUUUUHHHHH" look on my face.
With SOO many ROMs out there I don't know what to choose.
I don't want a "light and fit" ROM. I LOVE features. I LOVE to show off all the "cool" stuff my phone can do to all the iPhone loving friends I have. I don't care so much about speed. I mean I want fast internet, and good video streaming. Other than that I've got no problem waiting an extra 500ms or whatever for a program to open. I just like having alot of STUFF.
Can any of you not so long ago newbs feel like telling what ROMs you chose and why?
Is there a better list of ROMs out there with a 3-5 sentence description all in one place? I've been to PPCGeeks looking at all the ROMs over there, but my god there's too many!
Thanks for the help guys.

pm sent offering to chat it out on IM. seems like u have bunches of questions.
NFSFAN 110. Has WM6.5 and TF3D2. Has some apps installed, most ROMs come with the basics, you have to search the forums for everything else you want.
thread closed
this kind off question is not welcome here
it always ends in fighting
only way to see whats best for you is to get flashing.

ok i was just looking around and found this in the regular galaxy dev section and found that this works for our phones too wich makes me really happy and it also gives you plenty of extras along with it and i think i saw the droid x's keyboard on there somewhere too..
here you go guys works flawless for me!!! http://www.hallerud.se/htc_ime_jonasl_hires_27.zip
another mirror for this great app. http://www.mediafire.com/?8b2d08rxwmkaqgf
heres a really nice cyanogenmod themed keyboard just install like the other. http://www.mediafire.com/?9vlz87106kg2mzx
and for those that dont know how to install this here are your instructions!!
1) download files (of course...)
2) unzip files to where ever you want
3) place files on your phone or use adb install to install them.
4) once files are on the phone use a file manager of choice and just install them as you would anything else.
the clicker.apk is for the calibration of the keyboard, but i see no difference in doing it but you can do as you wish its your phone.
and there is no possible way to brick your phone from installing such a simple app but if you manage to do so its your fault, but i will help you out as best as i can to fix it!
i did not make this keyboard or the theme the theme was made by gimpsta and the keyboard itself was made by Jonasl i am looking to find a good samsung or vibrant image to use as a spacebar pic so any suggestions would be great
more info on this keyboard and a easy way to theme it to your liking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654179
if you theme use 27 high NOT 27 HIGH FROYO it wont work.
Forget that KB! The best one is the ported Droid Multitouch keyboard with voice to text. It's better than Swype, Swiftkey, HTC IME, etc...

I love it, but sadly it doesn't work properly on this phone.Labels on the keys are tiny! Can't even see anything.
lets all chill
Its my first time posting here on XDA. I have been a Lurker for about 2 years and have become a mid level user. I have followed multiple forums (nexus, mytouch, hero, etc) my question is why is everyone becoming so negative and brash with each other. This used to be a place where people who were tech savvy and wanted to make their phones work better for themselves would come to ask questions and receive answers from people who may have known a bit more than them. Lets all just try and help each other out.
OK... all ranting aside I say this keyboard is great. BUT... we do need to figure out how to make the letters bigger but the overall performance of the keyboard is good.
Oh... and BTW I realize this is in the wrong section but it needed to be said and everyone harping on the beginners for posting in the wrong sections was starting to bug me. To all of those who are mature enough to politely answer them and let them know the correct sections for next time... thank you. So to reiterate my relavant question. Is there a way to make the letters on this keyboard bigger?
Yes, back on topic, sorta, I would love for someone to figure out a way to get the Droid X's keyboard working correctly. It's a great keyboard but its unusable right now on the Galaxy as the key labels are too small. Wonder if it's a font issue?

Trying to be as mature as possible- this would do much better as a new thread, requesting someone develop it... I wish I knew enough in the coding world to help...
Essentially, can we get some new keyboards for this phone??? That and CM5/6 seem to be the front runner requests
On a Vibrant, using this app-thingy
its working guys enjoy

It has to do with the rom that's on our phone, on nexus one letters are bigger and look great.
Do I need to root my phone to install this? How do you install it? Copy to sd and run it from there? Once installed, can I uninstall it if I dont like it? Thanks!
Never mind found it
Danr like I was saying... He looked and found exactly what he was looking for... A simple search goes a long way...

Thanks skater4690.
I was using the 1.6 but it was buggy.
Can anybody tell me the difference between this keyboard and SwYpe other than it's supposidly faster and better?
I just rode on the bus and train this morning using my thumb and swype. Had a great time using Swype. Does this keyboard have a feature-set similar to this?
If not, i'm not that interested.
And on a side note, I think the ****-swinging here also has to stop.
We're all here in it to crush Apple and their Steve Jobs ****-sucking audience.
Peace.

i too love the htc touch keypad.....i downloaded the zip and installed (unrooted phone) the HTC_IME_hi.apk and it works great...but what is the Clicker_hi.apk? Should i install this other apk?

Yeah im using the htc ime right now and its by far better then the droid multi touch keyboard
Sooo anyone know what the Clicker_hi.apk is for and is worth installing?
Thanks in advance
i opened the read me file in logoreplacer.zip and started to read and wanted to figure out how to make my own logo replacer. well i went into this pretty blind and googled some things but it came out very well and thankfully didnt need to sbf or anything like that but i thought id share with you guys (and im sorry ladies if this offends you) my very own logo replacer. if this is inappropriate i apologize ahead of time but i figured some may get a kick out of it but i personally love this logo replacer. the zip works out fine but you must be rooted and boot into recovery as most people should know. thanks for looking
Lol dude thanks it works great on my gb2.3-d2
now im rebootin to see the picture
thanks bro! I tried it on my milestone 2 and it works perfectly
Yeah np guys, its actually really easy to do so if there's ANY picture you would want as a boot logo i can make it but im no photoshop expert but just use regular old paint on windows but if there's something you'd like me to try to make, post a link so I can see what I can come up with

hello everyone, im a newbie to this who idea of rooting phones and making them do what u want, and i must say it turns me on hahaha jk anyways i have no technical knowledge and was wondering if u fine gentlemen could tell me whats the best way o root my phone or if i can pay someone in my area to do it for me and add new stuff to it like the one click lag fix n stuff like that. please help thanks guys!
You should start off with this thread:NOOB GUIDE: HOW TO ROOT/ODIN/FLASH/RECOVER ** 04/28/11 W/ Videos **
It's always better to understand what you're doing to your phone before you attempt to do anything (no one wants to permanently damage their phone).
Well you picked a good phone to learn on lol, the vibrant is by far the easiest to root/flash custom roms on.There are basically 3 things you need. superoneclick on your PC, rom manager on your phone and the rom you want to flash.
But as stated above you def want to read up just to make sure you know what you are doing, but its not difficult at all! The link posted above should def explain everything. Also if you ever run into a problem, just google the problem lol i am usually able to find a link to a thread on here explaining how to fix it GL!
I kinda got in the habit of rooting via Z4root app on my phone after using odin to go back to android 2.1 (eclair). I just keep the .apk file on my SD card.
The reason I did this was because while odin is an annoying and buggy program to deal with, it is the only way to truly reset your phone to stock if you mess something serious up. It is a fail-safe of sorts so it is worth it to familiarize yourself with that process.
The "noob guide" posted should outline what you need to flash back to stock 2.1 which is odin (duh), a .pit file, and a .tar zip file.
I go back to 2.1 since z4root I believe has to be used on eclair? I could not get it working on stock 2.2 froyo at any rate.
once your phone is rooted the fun part begins from there you can download many different rom zip files which are available in the vibrant development section. General rule of thumb is to always FLASH ROMS at 100% battery.
Head to the market and pick up Rom Manager and Titanium Back up. Open rom manager once you have a rom downloaded and "reboot into recovery" (to manually flash a rom) press volume keys to select "reinstall packages", wait, then reinstall packages again. This should now be the green clockwordmod (commonly referred to as cwm) recovery menu. Scroll down to "install from zip", "choose zip", "download", select the rom you downloaded, yes, go back, reboot system.
The phone will take awhile to boot up, when it does let it SIT FOR TEN MIN. This is to help iron out any bugs. Reboot the phone. Sign into google and restore apps if you saved them in titanium back up. Reboot again just for good measure
If you decide to flash a different KERNEL than the one that comes with the rom, you don't have to be at 100% battery, just go into cwm and flash the kernel zip like you would a rom.
When not flashing from stock it is recommended that you:
-factory/data reset
-install rom
-clear cache partition
-advanced> clear dalvik cache
All while in cwm.
Remember to hit the "Thanks" button to the creator of the ROM / KERNEL / THEME / APP you apply.

Easiest way = download the AIO Vibrant Toolbox. You wont need anything else. Very easy to use. Odin, Rooting and Flashing instructions all included. Hope this turns you on even more. LOL

Hey hun.
You picked a good phone to start learning about those things.
The Vibrant is extremely easy to root and do pretty much everything.
Just keep in mind these two things: Follow the instruction PRECISELY and unless it's absolutely necessary, do NOT use ODIN.
At least not at first, after you get a handle of your phone, you can start experimenting.
Also, when flashing ROM/Kernels, etc, read the comments first for issues that might surface.
As they say, always read the OP completely, then do what you need
EDIT: LOOOOOOL
Can't believe I fell for a troll.
Geez, I sure have been away from the internet forums for too long...
Just google rooting a samsung vibrant. You can also find out how to do it all over this forum. Plus roms pretty much install them selves now once you have everything set up... Read in to it about and you will find its super easy.
