I've had no problems with "htc_ime_lowres22_experimental.zip" on every Eris ROM I've tried since 2.1; Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread. I haven't tested it on GSB v1.9, but I am using it on GSB v1.6, and can't recall a single (Eris) ROM that it did not work on.
BTW, I think the "22" in the name is because it was first built for Froyo - I think it is a derivative of jonasl's V26 keyboard.
You can find a flashable version at this XDA post.
If you would prefer to not "flash" that zip, you can instead just unpack the zip file and just manually side-load the two .apk files inside the zip. ( Clicker.apk and HTC_IME_lo22.apk; I think you are supposed to install Clicker.apk first ). Note that you need to enable it after installation in Settings -> Language and keyboard
I don't think it is dangerous at all; but if you want to be safe make a Nandroid backup first.

thanks man ill try it out

Check out gimpsta.com
You can design a custom HTC keyboard. I've made a dozen of them. Works really well with gsb1.9
Same kb as already recommended by bftb0, but make your own! (Select color theme). You will still need to add clicker.apk for calibration to work.
Select low res and the default v27 , 1.6+

removed link toolbox->rm (prefer the one in busybox)
changed the default animated boot ADVERTISEMENT and jingle
pngcrushed and zipaligned apks (with the execption of one) to save some space
Kangs:
what isn't.
maybe a few more little changes I forgot.
changes:

Not sure why you say that (in those words), but this does look decent!
Also, noob question, but are the stock ROMs (apps included) not zipaligned by default?
Yup they were already zipaligned. At least the ones I just checked
Honesty I didn't even look first. The crush actually takes off about 10Mb though.
yo dumfuq quick question... what exactly is required in editing a kernel to allow for overclocking and undervolting?

Not exactly sure if this is what your asking but basically...
You need the kernel source code to edit (the legend kernel source has the espresso board files),
A handy dandy text editor (like vim),
a cross-compiler (There is one under prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain in an AOSP or cyanogenmod build environment),
and a linux environment (cygwin might work not really sure).
1. download source
2. unpack source
3. edit source
4. set environmental variables
4. compile source
5. make a boot.img or an update.zip
Obviously that's incredibly simplified, but hopefully you get the idea.
Ok quick question to the maker of this rom... How can i add the themes back to this rom? I want to put the themes back but i dont kno which folder to put them in. Also which folder is where i can change the boot animation you have installed to stock? Thanks
this actually seems like exactly what i want. My only question is does it support a2sd. if so.. i have a new rom

good question. a2sd is a plus
you don't put them in anywhere. you can download and install them. there's a thread already with a small pack of themes to download and install. You install like any other APK. Search this forum section for them.

The PNG crush killed the stock themes. If you want them back you can either boot to recovery and push the original ones to /system/app/ or just flash this...themes-signed.zip. That is just an update.zip that will copy the original themes back to your phone.

Nope, no a2sd.

Nope. Currently I don't use a2sd, or this rom really. I made this just for an optimized stock rom to bounce back to when needed. Currently I'm running a customized version of eugene's cm6 as my daily driver.
in your experience.. how hard would it be for a novice to add a2dp to this? I did a quick google and found about 3 good pages of data.. but it seems pretty complicated (packing and repacking boot.img looks to be pretty intense on a windows machine without any experience from what i can tell). Do you think i should attempt this? LOL.

[UPDATED ROM RELEASE] Zinc V2.1.2 Fascinate Rom (A Deodexed Elements Series Release)

This rom is what I am calling a "zip rom" (non AOSP) Rom with some AOSP Apps. Once again this rom is not a built from source rom (AOSP), it was built from a ota.zip, (hence the phrase "ZIP ROM").*
Most TouchWiz applications have been removed, except the ones kept in order to keep the Rom stable. Apk files have been deodexed, optipng, zipaligned and some apps are built from source. Shutdown animation was changed and a few ringtones were added.
Apps removed:*
A lot!*
Apps were placed in /sdcard/extras/ folder:
Memo.apk
com.androidapps.spare_parts.apk
puzzle_lock.apk
TATLiveWallpapersOceanWave.apk
VoiceRecorder.apk
Thanks to all for the following below:
JT1134 for providing a solid base to work from (Clean D101 Base)

Ported Blackmod theme BY: Stanrc http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7735-mm-theme-blackmod-for-fascinate/*(for themed version)
And everyone else that made it possible.
This was my first "Zip Rom" since I am a fan of AOSP Roms, I do not have a huge amount of experience making a rom like this (zip rom). I have recently been working on my other Rom named "Cadmium" which is a Droid AOSP Rom. (Completed, but not publicly released yet)*

Smoked glass blue was my first ROM and theme ever, and a smoked glass blue theme was the last theme I ever put on my Droid.
got some more pictures?
Does this have the puzzle/glass unlock screens or the stock one?
It is just deodexed with some aosp apps and blackmod from the fascinate themes section. What is the custom shutdown anim?
is this compatible with the 1.2 boot animation voodoo kernal?
and sorry a noob question,
what exactly is a deoxed, zip rom? what is the main difference between that and a normal aosp rom?
Very slick. Awesome that you kept some of the apps as "extras".
It's nice and quick. Nothing not to like about that.
Thanks!
Uh oh. It tells me the Swype package installed is for a different device and I can't swype, only tap. Why the heck would Swype be removed in the first place?
Thanks for the nice rom. I had to revert back because removing the vicemail breaks the dialer. I always bump the voicemail button in the dialer (even though I use google voice) and with the voicemail app gone the dialer will crash killing the call.
I have tried to restore a deoxed version back in but never get it working. Outside of that it's a great rom. If you stuck voicemail back in or we could remap buttons to google voice like you can in windows mobile it would be perfect for me.

If you could get rid of launcher pro and twlauncher. I know people typically cry about it, but instead could you make different variations of your rom?

Thanks. Swype is the only keyboard I use so I freaked when that happened.
Any chance of getting a battery percentage added?
Yeah... Seems the voice-recorder (in the extras folder) isn't installing either.
Sits for a bit and states, "Application not installed.".
Can also confirm the swype issue.

I beg to differ, Vibrate on Keypress works 100% fine. I'm using OpenFire 2.3 ROM.
Anyways, this keyboard has some nice new settings. Me likey. Thanks a lot.

[Q] Gingerbread Keyboard

Okay, so after flashing the new Bionix-V ROM, i have been customizing it to fit me.
One thing I have been dying to get was the skinned Gingerbread keyboard. The Blackout Green one in particular. Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9814026&postcount=169
There is a flash-able .zip and an .apk file. I have tried both methods and still no luck. I followed the instructions and can't seem to get it to work.
I know that the Bionix-V ROM comes with the stock gingerbread keyboard, do I have to delete that one to install the other one? I'm just worried that it will get deleted and I cannot re-install and.
Thanks in advance!
I believe you do have to delete the original first but before you do copy it to ur sd just in case it doesn't work. Don't forget to reboot after you remove and install

Yes. The next update I post (at least for my mods of them) will automatically remove the original before applying the update.
Sounds good, I will delete the original Gingerbread Keyboard.apk and flash your mod. Will keep a look at your post for the update!

Just starting work on the rest of the colors as it appears no issues have been found with what little changes I have made.
Just an fyi... im using the blackout red gb kb... i just went in with super manager and renamed the stock one and then pushed the blackout (just to make sure if it didnt take i wouldnt lose the stock one too) and all is good and this keyboard is SWEET

extract swype from stock?

i'm running cm7.2 ultimate and previously used swype beta. however, this has expired as of today.
i'm wondering if i can extract the built in swype from the stock rom file(s).
i have a multiple files stock rom which contains swype (with the correct language included).
in which file can i find the swype.apk?
and it i succeed in extracting swype from te stock rom, will i be able to use it in my cm7.2 rom?
i read about a check that swype performs with build.prop so how can i make swype actually work on my ace with cm7.2?
(what should i edit in build.prop to succeed in the check and does it corrupt my rom when i edit my build.prop file?)
Brother install stock rom first and then create backup of swype file using root uninstaller ( i use that) and install it with correcting permissions using root explorer
Try lucky patcher on your expired beta of swype it may work
Hit thanks cos you wont die
Next time use Q&A THREAD, keep general thread clear!

I must say my question was not clear enough. I had a stock rom available and from that rom I've extracted the Stock Swype. I tried to get it to work using the instruction from Marine for another Phone. But unfortunately, It didn't work.
I'm on the ultimatum rom and extracted the swype from a 2.3.6 stock rom.
place the apk and libswypecore.so in the right folder and fixed permissions. i synced the files and rebooted the Phone as instructed but after that, Swype is available but doesn't work.
Anyone know what else I can do to fix this? Should I edit my build.prop?

no forced closes. I can swype, but it doesn't show the words I swype. My entry field stays empty.
I've checked the apk / swype files and all the dictionary files are in there.
I read another thread here at XDA which told something about swype checking the build.prop file. So i've checked my build.prop with the build.prop in the stock rom. There were some differences (cooper instead of GT-S5830). So i've editted my build.prop, saved it and rebooted. After that, my phone wouldn't boot anymore so now i'm busy downloading the latest version of The Ultimatum rom to get my ace working again..
so editting build.prop isn't really the best option to do (unless you really confident that you know what you're doing, which I'm not).

try better keyboards like swiftkey or x touchpal ( i recommend x touchpal as u can conver that app to system and working, will not take space in internal memory as our ace is low with internal). hope i helped u
I don't think so...
Both Swiftkey and Touchpal X take up a heck lot of space, unlike what you claimed.
For example
Touchpal X : ~15MB
Stock Swype : ~3MB
And the stock Swype is better, in my opinion.
