i couldn't find any threads pertaining to this so i may be the only one with the issue. or i'm the only one that was bothered by it. or my searching skills just suck.
anyway- i've noticed on all the froyo roms i've used that the "in call" dial pad no longer has letters on the keys. the regular dial pad does but if you bring the dial pad up while in a call, it doesn't. I tried a few different dialertabactivity.apk files floating around and a couple of metamorphs with no luck.
i ended up replacing a few of the button images in the phone.apk. that seems to have fixed it for me.
i've only used this on axura 2.1. if you want it, here it is. provided as is, no support, no guarantees.
just unzip the attached file and place the phone.apk in /system/app. i recommend backing up the phone.apk already in there.
i've also included before and after screenshots.
Odd, Axura 2.0.6 has the letters on the keys. I wonder why that would have changed?

it didn't for me they appeared on the initial dial pad but not when i was in call. tried odin to stock and re flashing and that didn't work either. maybe something else i am installing breaks it. in any case, i found one way to fix it
Weird. What rom you using? I have the black froyo dialer since it's my theme and it has numbers on it.
Edit: Oh, I see Axura 2.1, i'm on final, but like I said it's a themed dialer apk
thanks joe. do you have letters on both the main dialer AND the dial pad that you can bring up while on call?
i just odin-ed and flashed final followed by macnut r13 and still didn't have any "abc" or any other letters when in a call.
I'm in Axura 2.0.5 & my "ïn call" dialer doesn't have the letters. I might try this
Dailer pad
You know, I would have though I was crazy or having some sort of glitch. I think I need to try this as I was in a call just half an hour ago then went to call my messages and... no letters. Thanks!
I'm on obsidian v5 and I don't have numbers either. I never would've noticed had someone not pointed it out.
Any chance for maybe a metamorph of some kind to fix this?

kinda relieved others are seeing it too. thought i was losing it
i'm sure a morph could fix it too.
for those of you who try the modified apk, let me know how it works for you.
i have the same problem in my cap, running congnition and i tried your apk, but it would not install.
The modified APK didn't work for me. I tried both ROM manager and the recovery console. Is there another method?
Has anyone developed another way of fixing this problem?

The buttons are just images. Simply editing the ones without letters to have letters will solve the problem.

I have seen this problem based on which dialer I chose as well
i dont have spb pocket plus and the dialer still pops up...
same problem here, dcd 3.1.2. Funny, I looked forward to threaded sms when I upgraded
I had the same problem and was able to fix it by installing a new dialer. The new dialer doesn't look much different but the problem went away.
I have that problem on my Mogul, and I think it is PocketPlus

DO NOT use this dialer. This dialer is a GSM dialer and BREAKS your CDMA dialer functionality. I've seen so many people just post whatever works...then 5 more threads pop up with people asking "Why doesn't EPST work?" or "Why don't I have +1 dialing?"
Tanx for the warning - I have been flashing from Vetvitos black pill back and forth to DCD's 3.1.2 - was going to try this dialer on the next flash - will delete it immediately.

I recently found a pretty nice looking dialer designed for GSM, but does not break the CDMA functionality. It's based off the iphone dialer and looks pretty damn good. I'm not a big fan of the Diamond dialer (also maintains CDMA functionality) as I don't really care for how it looks.
^^^^ Hey brother - You holding out on me??? Let's see that dialer you just found..... please....!
Az
Here, check it out and let me know what you think...lol
So far I'm liking it.
Hey bud, downloaded it and installed fine... Looks great, and everything works except using the ## codes... Do they work for you?
## codes work fine for me....
Which codes are you trying?
I was trying the ##778#, just dials the phone.... doesn't open epst... Also, the only way I can open epst is by using the link, clicking directly on the .exe does nothing....
Is there a complete list of codes for our phone??
lol silly fool....
Sprint = ##778#
Verizon = ##778
I should have stopped the beer earlier.... So I had an off day.... It's all good... thx for the help G....
I am wanting the slide to answer app. for VZW. The One that I saw didnt work on CDMA phones. Anyone know any information?
Thanks!
This is what I have been using on my VZW Touch Pro.
Not sure who should get credit because I can't remember where it came from but who ever did it, they deserve the credit.
Skin
Do I need the default skin enabled for this to work??
EDIT: I tried it with the default skin ON and OFF and Neither of them worked
Are you using the stock ROM or did you flash to another ROM?
ROM
I am using Scrosler's ROM. I got rid of the stock ROM a long time ago
Same here.
I am using a ROM from the SSK 1.2 kitchen with slide to answer.
Not sure what is causing the problem for you?
Is it giving you any error messages.
It replaces the dialer skin (it's better if you ask me) but I didn't have to stop/start anything for it to work. Just clicked on the cab and off I went.
I just uploaded new versions of the Black CDMA CABs that I made located here, fixed some registry entries and adjusted some images. The Full version should have everything you need.
Still haven't figured out the Landscape issue, but I haven't given up yet.
Thank You!!

I downloaded both full versions and they work like a charm!
Here are screens of each dialer for those who might want to use them.
I am jealous right now! I tried both of the Black CAB files and neither worked. I did try CONFLIPPERS version and it worked great...but it is white. I REALLY want the black
UPDATE: I tried uninstalling S2U2 (since that changes the skin as well) did a softreset. Installed S2A and then a softreset and it STILL didnt work. I really dont know what else to try at this point.
The only thing I would suggest is to hard reset (backing up before hand) and try it then.
There must be something that is preventing it from making the edits (S2U2 maybe).
It works it works!!!
I found out what I was doing wrong. I was installing it to my storage card to save space instead of the device.
Thanks for all your help guys! Sorry I was dumb
Yeah, installing to storage card will prevent it working correctly as you discovered.

Works great!

Unfortunately, no. The only versions with the curtain are GSM only as they were ripped from the HTC Touch HD which is a GSM phone. They will work on CDMA devices, but not 100%.
On my Vibrant Swype, it had a voice button that was very convenient...I notice that the Swype app on the MT4G does not include this button.
Anyone know of a way to add this functionality? I used to swap out Swype versions on my Vibrant, but lack of root and a compatible app might be needed to make this change, just curious if anyone knows or has tried with any success. Thanks!
I had the same button on my G2, and now it's gone. How do we get this back?
I love swipe but this is the only reason I don't use it. That's the only thing missing on swype
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I am wondering about this as well. I saw the demo at the store had it, but I couldnt find it here on my phone.
Hmm
I have a version with the mic, but can't figure out how to install it. I was using it on my n1. Can't over ride the system Version
as far as i know, the reason it is not being included is due to a security flaw. i forgot where i read it
I tweeted swype asking them if it was tmo and the genius button were to blame for no mic button and their reply was " yup "
you also cant see voice search (which no includes voice actions=similar to the genius button) in the stock launcher. If you use a replacement launcher such as adw you can use voice actions... waayyyy faster than genius button, sometime not accurate though..
anyway... SSSUUUUUCCCCKKKKSSSSSS to not have the mic button... bad decision TMO booo hisssss
Thanks for the reply, hopefully they work it out and add this back in...I used it all the time on my Vibrant, great feature...I noticed that I can't search by voice on the web browser either...they really want that keyboard to get used I guess!
EDIT: I just checked my wife's G2 and it has a voice icon in SWYPE and in the browser...so now I'm really confused why the MT4G doesn't have it...
EDIT2: never thought about the "genius" button as a reason...thanks for that!
So I rooted, deleted swype, installed G2 with mic button.. but not luck so far....incompatible... I requested a compatible version with the mic so hopefully they hook it up. If i figure out a way or find a version I will post a how to here.
worst case scenario, SlideIt seems on par with swype now, and have a mic (and you dont have to root to, just get it from the market)
Hey, not to be insulting, but when you installed the G2 Swype on the MY4G, did you replace both the APK and the libSwypeCore.so file (in system/lib)? I always had to replace both when I made changes before...sorry in advance if you already knew/did this...thanks!
thanks for the info.. i didnt know or try that, but it did not seem to help now that i have tried. ugh... stuck with slideIT for now. 8pen is free.. maybe ill try that again hehe. i did a nandroid first... but that first attempt to restore is always scary! especially without backup flashable roms hehe
*edit* god bless nandroid! wooo stock swype back... i think its time for some metamorph theming
I have a version I was using on my nexus with a mic on it, I'm rooted, backed up the one here, deleted, installed mine fine, but it doesn't work because it says it can find the English language pack. But now titanium won't put the original back. Ugh
Can someone upload the built in swype apk so I can push it back in?

No prob, I found another solution.. I always was against this app but Handcent ..
Handcent gives you a mic in popup or by hitting menu a normal text.. so if you wanna stick with swype this would be your answer for now.. Handcent is highly customizable so you can keep it very close to stock if thats what you want.

I got that too today when I was trying to send a pic to another TMO subscriber, I send it to ATT and it went through fine, try resending to TMO, and get the error.
Just tried resending it, and the error. I compiled a new MMS with the same pic to the same subscriber and it went through
I am having this same issue. When ever I try to send an mms I get that error. I am running one of masters 2.2 roms, but I have tried other 2.2 roms and I have gotten this same error. But when I flash back to my nandroid of a 2.1 rom the error goes away.

FIXED that Error on my phone
NEVERMIND: ONLY WORKED BRIEFLY THAN BACK TO SAME PROBLEM.....
I had same problem with Obsidian v2 & v4.2 ULF with picture messaging otherwise MMS.
This fixed it perfectly for me:
Go to your main menu settings.
Than Applications, Next Manage Applications, than Running Applications.
Click on "Messaging", Click "Clear Data"
Exit back to main screen.
Now open messaging.
Go to messaging settings by hitting the menu button on the phone.
While in messaging settings page, hit the phones menu button again,
only one option appears to "Restore Default Settings".
Click it & exit.
Now try to send a MMS/picture message. Worked like a charm for me.
Hope it helps some of you all out.
I just flashed today the axura 2.0.5, I am also having this same issue.
But this does not happen if the txt message has no picture attachment.
This is the only issue I have with the axura rom
I think I will have to go back to 2.1 if I can find a fix to this issue
The only way I have found to send an mms is to actually type the phone number I am sending it to. If I try to send an mms to one of my contacts then I get the error message. It is pretty anoying
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ditto axura 2.0.5. No MMS. Have tried every answer I could find but NG. Hope there is a fix soon.
***NEVERMIND: ONLY LOOKS LIKE IT WORKS BUT FRIENDS DONT RECEIVE THE ATTACHED PICTURE ONLY THE TEXT. f**K IT i GIVE UP. Just going to have to wait for a better ROM or newer froyo build or something. Frustrated but its ok. Whatever.
Below is for informational use only as it it still did not fix issue:
I eventually pulled the mms.apk from Obsidian V3 ROM. It is the AOSP mms version Team Whiskey modified to work with (android 2.2) & Obsidian in that release version. I also changed the icon to the touchwiz messaging icon to keep the look instead of the greem messaging icon. I will post the file later tonight for anyone interested. It does work fine for me. Tested several times using it in Obsidian V4.2 ULF.
You will simply have to close your current messaging application, clear data than use root explorer to delete the existing mms.apk in your system/app/ section and paste the one I'm using. Will have it posted after I get off work today. At least I have normal functionality this way.
Error in server response - axura ROM
Also using Axura 2.0.5
I been trying all kinds of get around. I nstalled handsent app , using a different mms app doesn't fix the issue. It worked only once , then error in server response again!
tried typing the tel number to send the mms, still error, very annoying.
And if I go back to 2.1 I can send out mms
Feelx77,
if you can post your solution with an installation procedure , alot of us will be happy
Heres the AOSP MMS that Team Whiskey had in their Obsidian V3 ROM. I pulled it and changed the default icon to the touchwiz icon.
As in my previous post one page back, it is useable and it looks like it sends your pictures but it really doesn't either for me. My friends only received the text that is included when I attached a picture. This mms.apk did not give me any errors, it just did not really send any pictures. Only looks like it does but no one receives them. If anything new comes to mind I will post later for everyone.
So, I just put back the regular MMS.apk on my phone for now. Out of ideas. Just have to wait to see if developers find a solution or fix it in new upcoming ROM releases or next froyo build.
Posting the file below if anyone wants to experiment with it. Installation instructions are in my previous post one page back.
Add area code to fix?
Master who made the ROM hnted how to fix the issue "he said: add the area code" I am posting the link to what he said
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821468&page=218
read post #2172
I tried to read back but I can not find the original post stating how to fix the problem by adding the area code.
I don't understand what he means by adding the area code. Maybe someone can comment on this fix.
FYI
Yeah I've heard making sure you have the area code or adding "1" in front of number. Those ideas work if your typing in a number to picture text but if I select a contact saved on the phone thats when it errors.
Other suggested moving contacts over to SIM card and than it works but that defeats the luxury of having a smart phone if I cant keep the contacts on my phone with each contacts extra details that cant be saved to SIM cards.
So, I know I CAN picture text manually for each message I send but I am trying to find a natural way to send mms picture messages easily by selecting any contact in my drop down list that has been saved to the phone without trickery....just like it did exactly with eclair 2.1 before. Ya' know
I read back thru the post, it was discuss to add the area code. Obviously I add the area code because my parents lives in ohio and I am live in california. I tried the following to no success:
1-000-000-0000
000-000-0000
(000)000-0000
1 (000) 000-0000
Is there someone who can tell me how to retrieve the error log, so that I can send it to master for review
It is 10:30pm , I am in communication with master right now, about this issue. He gave me things I can try, but none of them has fixed the issue.
I will let you guys know once, I get a good fix to the issue.
The ROM is great, except for this hitch,
I gave up on this a month a go. I switched to the Handcent mms client. I keep checking to see if the stock client works as I don't want two mms.
I also about to give up on the axura 2.0.5 , the only thing is that the skype works because it based on the 2.2 froyo .
Based on the axura 2.0.5 thread that I read, master believes that there is no problem.
Based on this thread , there is a number of users with this issue. It maybe a fraction of the users, but it's real.
I've ask master, how to pull out the log, so that I can send it to him for analysis.

Hopefully you will find a fix for it, it maybe in the form of a patch.

Ok, so here goes..
Smart me decided to open up my phone to clean out all the grime and give a go at solving/fixing my headphone problem. Smart me also severed the touch screen connection to the LCD screen lol. Now, here's my few questions that I need help with.
1)Is there any way to enable Trackball Wake on CM7 w/o the touch screen? If I could enable that, I could use the phone no issue until I buy a new front plate. (I'm currently using GSB1.5)
2)How much is a replacement front plate for the eris?
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this and drops some feedback or help!
PS- I DID fix my headphone issue, too bad it took breaking my damn screen!

It will work - but with his Gmail credentials - and his contacts, not yours - on your phone. There is a way to wipe those from an adb shell, but then how would you re-enter the values for your account?
I'm assuming that this temporary "touchless" phone you are proposing would be able to only answer in-bound calls, yes? Or maybe you are thinking that you will be able to bring up the dialer app by pressing Send, and then using the trackball to scroll through contacts to somehow dial that way?
Quick! Here's a different idea:
Edit and replace the XML file in your own ROM at
/data/data/com.cyanogenmod.cmparts/shared_prefs/com.cyanogenmod.cmparts_preferences.xml
look for the string:
<boolean name="pref_trackball_wake" value="true" />
You might want to do this in an offline mode (using Amon_RA), so you are sure the phone is picking up that setting during boot.
Alright, here's what I did..
1) Made a NAND on my phone and copied it into the nandroid folder on my bros phone (made a specific note on which folder to choose, so as not to confuse myself lol)
2) Made a NAND on his phone, then wiped data/dalvik, then NAND restored my backup onto his phone. Booted it up, changed the CM settings to trackball wake, booted back into recovery and made yet another NAND (also made a specific note on which folder to choose)
3) Copied that NAND to my phone again, did a full wipe and restored.
Eureka!...-ish :/
It works... I can now get past the lock-screen upon boot and access my phone/messages/app drawer/market/dolphin-browser.
Here's the problem now. I cant back out of anything lol, and its awful pesky (and prob not healthy) to have to reboot the phone every time I need to get back to the home-screen.
I tried looking in CM setting to see if there was a way to set up my volume up/down buttons as the home and back buttons but no luck.
Would anyone here happen to know if a button function re-routing is possible/fairly easy?
Thank all of you for the suggestions and help.
*Bftb0, thank you for your last post, I knew something like that was possible but I was already too deep into my NAND solution to attempt it. I appreciate the knowledge and help greatly

Most likely the latter. Pretty much the only useful function w/o the keyboard is the phone. I can access messages and pretty much anything else through the app drawer, but without the keyboard and back/home button, its all useless. I can dial and call/end with the trackball, that's now the ONLY useful function lol
Ok, so Spare Parts held the key. The End button now serves as the home button. I still can't type or do other various things but that's all I need now to use a few more features.
If you spend another 2 days tweaking it, the replacement parts could be at your door.
Here's an idea - we'll all get together and write an app with a "SHAKE KEYBOARD".
If you shake the phone just right, it will type whatever letter/digit you want. LOL
You'll only need to learn how to shake your handset in 128 different ways.

I'm on xtrSENSE v4.6.5 right now. I tried all three of the keyboards that came with it just now, HTC_IME mod, Touch Input and Multi-touch keyboard, and the only aspect of any of them that I could control with the trackball was if it made a word or letter suggestion, then I could scroll between the suggestions. Otherwise the trackball only appeared to control the "Share" and "Cancel" buttons in the case of the Facebook app/widget's "What's on your mind?" text entry field.
Anyone else know anything about this?

Thank you for trying that out for me bro, I really appreciate it! It definitely wouldn't have been worth it for me to flash a 2.1 ROM to check for myself lol Especially since it's taken about 2 1/2 days to get my phone to a controllable setup using only hard buttons and logic.
So far I've been able to make due using a combo of the Button Re-mapper app and Spare parts. All of my hard buttons can now take me into and out of any app, the menus, home and sleep. I can use the trackball to dial on the phone, so that function is still useful, and I can view texts, just no reply lol
Back in the day I used Handcent SMS on 2.1 and 2.2, and that had an option to speak out your reply to texts... used to work like a charm for me. So I downloaded this onto my busted phone but for some reason it wont work. It keeps saying "Recognizer is not present" when I hit the speaker icon on the SMS popup. Is this a CM7/GB issue on the Eris? I already have Pico TTs (Duhh!) and downloaded another TTs app on the market, enabled it in the settings, and still no luck
If I could figure this out though, my phone would be tops again, even w/o any touchscreen capabilities. Texting and calling are all that really matter to me until I either upgrade/replace the broken part. I'm tight on cash (who isn't?) and won't be able to do either until next week at the very soonest.
Any ideas? Are any of you using GSB and having the same issue with voice input?
