Is it possible to use HTC sense keyboard on dell streak ?
How do i install it ?
the one from streak is soooo smal for the screen...
U should try ultra keyboard
Loads of customisation and the keys r huge.
I love using it especially the swype feature.
I've tried installing the HTC keyboard but supposidly it's something to do the framework apk

Well I'm actually using it now. Just install it as a normal apk. And reboot.

u cud try smartkeyboard pro..it has an option for a HTC skin for the keyboard...
You can go to www.gimpsta.com to make a custom skinned htc keyboard and then just install the apk as usual.
Just remember to go into your settings to activate it for use before attempting to change your input method.

None of these work as they should...
The htc keyboard doesn't work at all...
If you have rooted your phone you can adjust the lcd density which will cause all buttons drawn to be larger.
You will need root access to /system/build.prop. Open it in a text editor and scroll down to the "other edits" section and increase the number by increments of 20 till you find what you like. A reboot will be required to have changes take affect.

Can you confirm this, and which version did you pick when you made it.

Same for me so far. I have tried a couple of versions and no go for any of them. Did not try a reboot though.
I tried rebooting but it doesn't work...

Also download "no lock" to disable the stock lockscreen
What's 'no lock'? I thought just using a lockscreen app would get rid of that one and put another one I want?
Yes, it puts it "on top", but doesn't completely replace out like out works with home launchers, abd eventually, the stock lockscreen pops up on top of your custom one.
No Lock disables the default keyguard so you can use a custom one without issues.

Be careful, once you use no lock the genius button can wake the phone and place calls.

If you are rooted, you can remove the HTC lockscreen app from /system. The default froyo lockscreen is just being overridden by that app.

Rock on! I always hated that lock screen! *presses easy button*
I would also add that a reboot is necessary.

I used root explorer to move the htclockscreen.apk and the odex files to my sdcard, got the standard froyo lockscreen. Moving it back didn't put the htc lockscreen back though, I still have the standard froyo. Now that I got rid of it, I kind of want it back, lol.
Actually, this may be a problem, I may need to exchange my Mytouch. Even a factory reset doesn't do it. I've wiped and restored it, still have the stock froyo lockscreen. The files are back in system/app, but I can't get it back somehow.
Try re installing the apk in the root folder, the n reboot, I haven't tried , just a theory

Tried that, nothing. I may just need to find a stock rom to flash now.
Did you reboot it after install
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
It wouldn't let me install, "application not installed". And yes, I had it mounted r/w. It's in there, it just isn't seeing it.
I tried, same here, I even tried fix permission in rom manager with no luck ...

Hmm, I think I should bring this up as a separate thread, this could be an issue if anyone needs to go back completely to stock.
Quick question though, do you ever see the left slide bar missing every now and then? Sometimes when I turn the screen on the left slide bar is invisible, but it shows when I touch it.
4 shared.com search for "go to .apk"
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yeah the left side did that to me too, luckily I did a nandroid right after root, took me back to stock. If you didn't, do that next time!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
once this is doe is there anyway to get a picture on the background of the froyo background
I uninstalled the htc lockscreen on mine but I did a nandroid backup beforehand, and after doing that I just did a restore and it came back to working fine, don't know if that helps anyone out any
I'm using lockbot pro to change the mytouch standard lock screen to the froyo style lock screen. The problem is that I still have to unlock the standard screen and then it gives me the froyo to unlock. How do I disable the standard screen so I only get the one I want?

Theres a app in market called No Lock

Use WidgetLocker Lockscreen. It is the best 2 bucks I have spent in a long time!! I am rooted but you dont have to be to use it. It does help though. My avatar pic is my lockscreen. I run it with no slider and a time delay on a button unlock it. It has lots of options for several types of lockscreens and other stuff also.
If u want the stock froyo lockscreen just go into system/ apply then delete the htclocksreen.apk and it will restore the froyo lockscreen you don't need nolock or anything else

You need to be rooted and s=off to edit/delete/add anything to the system file. If you are temp rooted and/or s=on you cannot use just the AOSP lockscreen.
I use the app: lock suppresor with the lockbot pro app.
works for me
I tried a handful of droidx keyboard ports and none of them worked. Anyone know which one works without a fc...
much appreciated.
This one works....no FC or anything
but "back space/delete" and "m" (next to each other) are not super accurate
Think I tried that one already.
Started using smart keyboard and it is as good if not a suitable replacement since I can adjust the height of the keys
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
I just installed that one listed above and it works fine. However, i myself use smart keyboard pro because of the adjustable key hights and also i like a darker skin.
I am currently using SwiftKey, it is better than the default keyboard and in some ways a little better than swype...
use ultra keyboard. its got multi toch and you can get a skin for it
Thumb Keyboard works well if you have fat fingers! Several skins each in several colors.
I use slideIT keyboard , I love the big keys

download "keyboard from android 2.3" from the market. get the donation version where u can adjust the size of the keys. its basically the gingerbread keyboard that is most comparable to the droid x one

Hi I just downloaded swype beta and its turned on but the keyboard doesn't change. The same thing happened when I tried swift keyboard. I check it but its the stock keyboard. I am on bamf beta 6. Anyone have any ideas.

Hold on the text input box and choose input method and choose swype.
I'm sorry, but I don't see that button on my keyboard.

Long press the text input area. You'll see a dialog pop up with keyboard choices.

Thanks I finally got it figured out. I had to go to the swype installer app and change a setting there.

Now be aware, unless with Swype Beta 3.0 they fixed it, that when you reboot your phone, Swype will stop working.
What you'll have to do is long press inside a text box, and switch your input mode back to the stock keyboard. Long press again, and switch it back to Swype. You'll be good to go! I guess I haven't rebooted since 3.0 installed yesterday... maybe they fixed this bug?!
I just rebooted and swype was still there so that's a good thing

But did it work just fine? I've always had to switch to the stock keyboard, then back to swype after a reboot, otherwise the actual swype motions wouldn't create words.

Yes, the new Swype 3.0 works for our phone and does not have the problems that the old one had when it would reboot that you would have to select another input type then Swype again. That was a big headache to deal with every time you wanted to enter a new message.
Yeap like picao said it worked without a hitch.

I'm using Swype 1.6 and am not having any issues with it, use it with the default mail app, and it's there after rebooting. Is this only a 3.0 "feature"?
Awesome. i'm going to reboot right now just to check!
so im on bamf 1.6.3 and the stock messaging app wont auto space between words for swype. it does on handcent but i dont like using it. has anyone found a fix for this? and i heard it was fixed on gingerbread is that true?
The beta skips spaces and I haven't had any issues with it yet. But the double space doesn't put a period.

I'm glad they fixed this with the new 3.0 beta, what a pain in the ass that was after every reboot.
I run ARHD on Desire HD. In all previous Swype versions up to now, swyping almost never worked until I manually re-initialised its listener.
The current version hasn't displayed this problem at all, which had finally made the program quite usable. The word chooser is still proving to be a bit of a problem due to silly default choices, I'm having to correct it far too often. And editing words that aren't in the dictionary is exceptionally tricky due to the way the cursor keeps jumping around in edit mode, though that may be just as much the fault of Android Gingerbread or HTC Sense, for all I know.

I had the same issue when i initially got my TB (before rooting/ROM). I found in these forums a link to the EVO swype apk that you can use on the TB to fix the auto-space issue with SMS/MMS.
I'm back to using the 3.0 beta version of swype and I'm having the same auto-space issue you describe. I like the 3.0 updates too much to go back to the old EVO version, but maybe the EVO 3.0 apk would give the same fix as the old version.
This is great app (I tryed it on friends Desire), so I downloaded Trial version but it's not working. I checked SwiftKey X in Languages and Keybords options and reboot but I still have stock keybord. Is it posible that it's not working because I changed original latinIME file (I put Gingerbread keybord)?

Did you long press on a text box and select input method? Maybe that will work.

I bought app and it works, It's great, but sometimes it's slow on beginning, for example when viber pops up (or facebook messanger) and then you have to wait for few seconds to type normal.
On Settings > Language and Keyboard the checkbox SwiftKey X is on?
You can install other keyboards?
Btw, a friend mine told me that trial version is buggy for him.
You can try buy the app, test with the 15 minutes and if don't work you can return the app.
