Okay...I may be really bad at using the search function or the answer to my question isnt here.
I have a tablet that is running froyo. It isnt upgradable. I am looking for some help with the WWF app as the letters on the bottom of the screen cover up the bottom of the game board. Is there any way to fix this, or any version that will work on a froyo tablet?
I'll also add that I would even settle for a version where the gameboard is much smaller.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!!
Ok... Am I posting this thread in the right place?
This issue is really bothering me and I can't figure it out. I just installed the same apk an my wife's tablet (7 in widescreen Kyros) and it looks great. Mine is a LePan with 4:3 screen. Is there nothing I can do to get this to look right on my tablet?
Is there a better forum for me to start this thread where it will get more views?

Hey all! I'm so glad i found this community it looks awesome! I'm new here and to the HTC hero G2 AND to the droid OS for that matter so i will have some pretty noobish questions , i will try to make it easy and list them in order so if you could please respond that way it would make it a lot easier on this noob as well
I am in the USA so i don't know if that will make a difference but i see a lot of other countries names in updates.
1. My device is the G2 obviously and its unlocked and i use my local carrier Cincinnati Bell and i'm pretty sure my phone is stock everything as far as firmware and what not. I still have 1.5 and i'm seeing people talk about 2.1, some say a message will automatically appear for the update but will it work since i'm not on T Mobile? if not how do i go about getting this?
2. What other types of software are there you recommend every G2 should have or that i can update to my phone to make it better, faster and just all around great, how would i go about doing this?
3. i've noticed when i go to albums for some reason there are 5 different albums just for my pictures which were all already on my sd card, and on my old phone were all just under the same album. The same for videos too there is 3 different ones for those too. Why are they all being seperated and how do i just make one entire album for all photos and one for videos? i've plugged the USB into my computer and opened my sd card and have seen the folders for all my music and photos so could when i add particular artists music on just create my own folder and put each artists music in their own folder? would it show up like that on my music player as being seperate? and could i do the same for pictures?
I realize i have quite a decent amount of questions and i apologize but i am new to the G2 and Droid in general as i've stated and i love the experience so far and i want to gain as much knowledge as possible so big thanks to anyone who helps me!
THANKS!!!

What exactly did you think it was? This is a developer community.. not a help desk.
I myself am not a developer.. I have a very small and limited amount of knowledge regards android.
I come here because I pick things up.. and occasionally when I have a problem I ask a question BUT only in the hope that the great and the good of this community feel like they have time to answer it.
Sure I wish I could be more welcoming to you.. I really do hope your problem gets solved.
Just dont expect it to get handed to you.. for example.. most of your questions can be answered in the hero wiki.. which is one quick search away from discovery.
Your initial question was polite and well formed.. however to follow it up with that statement just shows that you were being very disingenuous.
Again.. I hope someone takes the time to answer your several questions.

I've searched for forums for the Hero G2 and this is one of the only ones with activity i found. So i signed up, yes i know this is a development forum but if someone has the knowledge to develop for such a phone then it became common sense to me they would know answers to the questions i had. I did not mean to seem "disingenuous", its from the fact of taking a post like my last to get a response is why i did so. I wish someone from the first few views could of either 1. Helped me or 2. Said what you said and suggested somewhere or something else to help.
I don't mean to sound like an ass, just would really like help so it would be GREATLY appreciated if someone tried at least :-/
Ok i'll use my first post as an attempt to be useful, if only because i've read a whole lot from here and as yet written nowt
Now, first things first, being in the states do you have the G2 gsm hero, the one with the chin, or the US cdma sprint version? Makes a big difference if you want to do rooting.
Information searching for the hero doesn't have to come from active forums, many were hugely active when the phone first arrived and may not be so now, but much of the content is just as useful/relevant as it was then.
Oh, and i'm neither a dev, or a programmer or a techy phone expert, pc expert or any other expert come to that, just a hero owner that started much like you. Knowing nothing
Regarding the official 2.1 update, have no idea how it might arrive at your device, or mine as i'm not interested. Mine is rooted 1.5 with modaco 3.2 and it works just fine (and stable/reliable) for me, and does pretty much all i need it to do. The only exception being maybe bluetooth transfer.
When i got my hero it was the latest all singing, all dancing device that shamed most if not all other smartphones, eventually rooting it made it better, and unless i get to upgrade it every 6 months to me that's the way it'll stay.
I might go for a custom 2.1 rom at some point, be warned the official upgrade removes that possibility for the future, and even if you don't think you'll want to now, you may well change your mind once you've had the phone a while
How are the files stored on your sd card now? Separate folders are displayed separately. Contacts, downloads, camera shots etc I guess you could put them all in one folder but the album has an "all pictures" option anyway so why bother.
All my albums are stored in folders, with artwork, and just drag and drop into the music or mp3, can't recall what it's called right now, folder and display as whole albums in the player. If i want to create a folder just for one artists tracks then again it will display that "album" separately.
Works fine for me as i'm a whole album person rather than using playlists.
Any combination is possible, trial and error and personal preference time, but you wont break anything by trying.
Finally, have google work for you, or you tube, there's a heap of good stuff around, and more applications than my failing keyboard can mention hence rooting and apps2sd has unlimited my app count. No more worrying whether i can fit in that latest market find or what i have to delete first.
new batteries time before i launch this keyboard.....
Thank you! for someone trying to help... i'll soak all that in kind person, and i have the one with the chin
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...
Superfast.

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 bet I can still type faster than you with swype
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?
thanks for giving my lazy a** a hound out (aka being a nice person and helping me out, with something silly that shouldn't inconvenience u much). Much love for XDA!!!

Sooo anyone know what the Clicker_hi.apk is for and is worth installing?
Thanks in advance
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?
For Father's day --- lucky me!!!
Good price also I think? 289.99

Anyway I just looked in this sub forum and have not read anything in depth yet. I have practice flashing roms on my phone so I am not a complete newbie...but not far..
So is the instructions in the flash thread still the one to follow exactly as written? I only ask because I saw somewhere that the G tablet has been updated and some roms are no longer good (not sure if this is true?)
Anyway I will be getting this tablet soon and want to flash it before I even use it (with at least gingerbread if not honeycomb), so any tips or hints would be appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!!!

Tip 1: Post General (like this) or Q/A (like "how do I...?") posts in the General or Q/A forums, not in THIS forum, which (as you can see by the Stickied Posts you passed over) is just for developers to post about their things, and for you to give them feedback in their threads.
Tip 2: be sure you understand the whole 1.1 vs 1.2 bootloader thing
Tip 3: have fun!
Sorry for posting in the wrong place. I am so used to the phone section (which is where we post these questions) that I just assumed it was the same setup.
Can a Mod please move this thread to the correct forum please?
thanks
I don't think there is another tab with as much interests as this one.
That said I hope you know about the screen viewing angle issue. I haven't really noticed it but some people have cried bloody murder.

Hello, a few weeks ago a friend of mine dropped her ZenPad, breaking the screen.
I ordered a replacement, installed it and now the X and Y axis are inverted.
When I tap the bottom left, the top right is selected, when I tap the top left, the bottom right is selected and so on....
I used every last bit of my google-fu but this time I don't really know how to fix this, it would be a shame to throw away the tablet for this bug...
Does anybody know a fix for this? Any help would be really appreciated.
I hope this is the correct section to post my question: if not, I beg you pardon and I please ask to the mods to move the thread to the appropriate section.
Also sorry for the probably bad english.
Thank you, have a nice day!
