[Q] best onscreen keyboard on miui % ics - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I am running a miui rom at the moment on the mini pro and would like a keyboard apk that both detects the physical keyboard better such as the blue butting (shift button ?? ) and the smiley button to work and also a more responsive on screen keyboard that what I currently have

There seems to be not much better than the original SE keyboard (Sqhashiinput.apk) at doing the job, and it will run on just about anything.

Try this, it's the original SE soft-keyboard, made to work on ICS ROM by Paul-xxx, all credits to him
Try to install as normal APK, and if that doesn't work, move to /system/app and change permissions to 644
Long-press an input-field and change input-method.
Hope it works for you

very weird I had installed that su update previously but now that I have reinstalled it it seems to work, though still doesn't allow me to move the apk file into system/app or install it, however got it overclocked so I'm happy,
thank you for all of your help btw with the increased performance the default on screen keyboard is much more responsive whenever I tap an input box so :good: :victory:

unfortunately it crashes every time I attempt to use the physical keyboard and in terms of responding is similar to the default keyboard, a good keyboard, just not good for this device and this os XD thank you for the suggestion though,

Try big buttons.

I decided to give it a try, so I can write something about this ROM:
First of all, IT IS REAL AND IT WORKS!
Rom is pre-rooted
xRecovery preinstalled
Includes reboot to "Bootloader/Recovery/Reboot" script
Looks like clean Android 2.2.1
Boot animation tells that it is "OpenFire"
http://openfire.droidroms.com/
Works:
3G,
3MPX Camera,
GSM,
Youtube normal & HD,
Screen rotation,
Market,
Headphones detection
^^for sure
not sure about the rest - didn't test
Bugs:
Video Recording
SD Card Safe to Remove!!!! after exiting Root Explorer
Autobrightness doesn't work properly
EDIT:
ROM is light, fast & quite stable - some FCs (Youtube first run, Root Explorer first run, Market random), but only at the beginning... the more I use it the less FCs I get! No random reboots apart from su apps.

Re-style your 2.1 Eclair: lock screen and launcher

For those of you who still use 2.1 eclair, but try to add a better looking face:
- agile lock - free - on the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.SenseScreen&feature=search_result
- Xperia Active Launcher : working on stock, I am using it from 3 days already, no FC, taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187008 - post 30
Then, if you have cypress chip (but also Dx module for synaptics) - if you need dual touch module "ax8mt" by ANDyX, you may need this toolbox (by puppet13th) to install hassle free ( and also the other goodies: CWM, dual recovery, etc.) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
Reasons : If you use your device as a PHONE, as primary function, you might think twice on installing any ROM....but this does not mean it HAS to look ugly (especially teh lockscreen of 2.1.)...decision is yours.
Hope this is usefull,
Cheers,
I get FC when trying to use Active Launcher on 2.1update1..
"Sorry! The application Xperia Active (process com.sonyericsson.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. "

That one was version 20, I believe. Trust me, on my 2.1. works this version. Rooted, JIT enabled, ax8mt module installed with the x8toolbox by puppet13-th. Donno if JIT has anything to do with it, or maybe Busybox? Thing is, it works.

I'm rooted with Busybox installed.. Just checked and it's busybox V1.15.3, maybe old version??
I dont have JIT installed or ax8mt. Might try updating busybox and installing JIT.
It attempts to start and I see the 4 launcher corners appear but FC's straight away before I can attempt to use it.

If you read the original thread, there were some similar reports. And on other devices it worked. Not sure why ....sorry for the excitement, on mine it works.

Reboot didnt help. I might try installing new busybox.. Although a quick search I noticed someone lose xrecovery after updating busybox from market.. I'll search and read some more to make sure everything will be ok if I start messing with busybox..

no, wait, use the x8toolbox. It will help you install JIT and busybox both. And this way U skip the market step.

I tried the one from post 30 on that thread and the one off this thread. When I install the .APK with easy installer the file info says "Xperia Active 2.0.A.0.20" Maybe i've got the wrong idea?

thx i'll give that a try..
Right. Thing is the other apk's of the original thread cannot be installed on 2.1. since they are compiled for CM7 (2.3.x).
ok. Installed busybox 1.18.4 using x8toolbox and lost xrecovery. rebooted fone and flashed xrecovery back to fone. Installed JIT. quadrant score went to 512 (woo! )
I have Xrecovery back. Busybox 1.18.4 installed, JIT installed. then...
I Installed the Xperia Active and it still doesnt work.. FC again!..
ah well not to worry.. Glad you got it working on yours..

Oh, one other thing, no idea if it is important or not.
I use link2sd and I have a FAT 32 ext. partition. So, when I installed it, automatically was moved (link) there. Maybe this way I don't have the conflict you were mentioning?
Cheers, sorry for that...
One theme
Guys, great theme done by AChep & D-Shel that works on stock, to restyle your X8, you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214655
Credits go to them, AChep and D-Shel who are doing a great job, again.
...Still, that agile lock screen really does the trick, in my oppinion.
Cheers,
how to return it to its original state?.,
Uninstall apk? Or go back to backup in order to remove theme?

Xperia active keyboard on cyanogen

Hey everyone,
Is it possible to extract the soft keyboard from the stock rom on my xperia active and make it work on cyanogen ?
Browsing other threads, I found some solution for Xperia Mini Pro
batwingnz said:
Same reslut on .42 as with .58, SK17i
SOLUTION:
I coped the contents of "keylayout" and "keyprint" folders from official stable release, http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32768-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-xperia-mini-pro-v7102-24-oct-2011/
Then using Root Explorer and changed all permissions to:
rw
r
r
Then reboot and you've got a working keyboard, sym key not included.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try using that method, maybe it will work
Ofc. copy that files from your original stock ROM
thanks, I found this thread but didn't get that the layout could be the soft keyboard, will try when I get back to cyano, I just flashed a new rom
Hi, the solution I posted was for hardware keyboard only.
If you guys do work out the software keyboard too that'd be awesome, i've had a go but not quite worked out sin2img just yet cause only stock dump I have is in .ftf format I'm not sure how to get files out.
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
I believe this is what you're searching for...
Either install it like a normal app, or if that fail's try putting it in the /system/app/ folder.
Thanks for the file, copied to system/app and changed permissions 644, reboot. Nothing showed up, thanks though was worth a try
You need to enable it as an option i think. If the OS doesnt have the code to call the app automatically, go check language and keyboard settings.
Hi, thanks for reminder for others that don't know to do this, I should remember to explain every step I took, it never appeared in the list of keyboards to enable.
hmmm. what i did is that i use titanium back up and just google ''chinesetextinput.apk''
I am using my phone right now that's why I can't upload today
Hope this works,because it worked with mine

Hello, did it work?
Because I don't want to buy Swiftkey, just to get Autocorrect for my hardware keyboard.

[Q] Can i use other keyboard on CM 9?

As title says - can i install new and may be better keyboard on CM9? Someone using another one?
I see there are JB keyboards, 4.1.2 Xperia Keyboards?
Someone?
You can install any keyboard you like Just install the apk or copy over the apk & needed libs to your phone (app in /system/app and libs in the corresponding directory ) and set permissions 644 to get it working
Searching here would give you access to many different ones Reply here if you are looking for one in particular

[MOD][OP_Launcher_aosp 2.1.5] Transparent hotseat (dock)

As the title says,I have moded stock OP Launcher to have transparent hotseat,(dock), for apps in homescreen.
Launcher apk is pulled from latest beta for OP3T, I belive it should work on OP3 also but not tested.
Instructions:
Use some root file explorer (I use Solid)
Go to root/system/app/OP_Launcher_aosp and rename existing apk (OP_Launcher_aosp.apk.bak)
Copy OP_Launcher_aosp to root/system/app/OP_Launcher_aosp
Set permissions to rw-r-r
Reboot and enjoy.
If you get stuck on boot for some reason:
Go to TWRP and mount system
Go to file manager and browse to system/app/OP_Launcher_aosp
Delete current apk and than remove .bak from original apk
Reboot.

I can't install it as an upgrade for my current version.
Could you sign the apk with the same key as the stock apk?
I tried signing it and still didn't worked.
I can't replace the apk in the system because I'm unrooted.

I recently did a factory reset( so my device should be fresh). Beside this launcher mod, the only other thing that I think will mess with the system is Magisk, but all of my modules doesn't seem like it's going to conflict with any display settings at all.
Wonder if Im running an outdated launcher or not?
