I got the keyboard to show by going to /Settings/Language & Keyboard/HTC_IME mod settings/User Interface and changing the Key width adjust and Key height adjust. It actually didn't matter what I changed them to, I just iterated through 5, 10 and 15px, and after a few changes the keyboard just appeared. (Don't forget to Kill keyboard in order for the changes to take effect; also in the HTC_IME mod settings).
The only thing not working for me right now is the vibration feedback when a key is pressed. All necessary settings seem to be in place, but I haven't gotten it to work yet.

Didn't work for me. I went through 5, 10, and 15. killing the keyboard each time. Then went through the entire list from 0-15 killing the keyboard after every change. Still couldn't get it to popup. Are you using the hires froyo from the htc_ime mod thread?

Yes. I actually tried both htc_ime_jonasl_hires_27.zip and htc_ime_jonasl_hires22_27.zip, and at this point I'm not sure which is the one that's working. I'm assuming it is the 22_27 version, but I may be mistaken.
Did you try both?

I ended up getting it to work by going through the gimpsta themer and selecting the optimus option in the high res kitchen. It shows just fine without tweaking it, but it does fill the screen in portrait. In landscape it works perfectly. So I am going to tweak the xmls to see if I can make it fit. Did you install clicker_hi.apk for the haptic feedback? Its working on mine.

The keyboard is displaying properly in both portrait and landscape mode for me.
And I did install clicker_hi, but I'll give it another try...
ETA: Reinstalling didn't work...

I am unable to get this keyboard to work on my phone, i have tried everything that was said in the topic, but still it doesnt not pop up for me
Hi, there is a possibility the HTC IME Mod to the Galaxy Note to use? I can install the app though. But the resolution does not fit into the display so it is much too small.
Hi does anyone know how to get lock animations on transformer prime? Just like on some android phones on gingerbread and even the galaxy nexus it turns off old tv when you press the lock button. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg9g_4B8JqU&nomobile=1 are there any apps that enable this or any way to add it with root?

You have to modify your framework-res.apk. I am going to be working on this again tonight. I couldn't get it to recompile correctly. I am going to try a different version of apktools and hopefull, it will work out.

Nope, going into framework-res/values/bools.xml and changing the
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool> To
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool> does not work.
Google changed some of the coding and thus needing some smali code work iirc.
Update:
After furthering my research, it seems that it requires you to edit services.jar.
You can get it for free with no root or mods needed
Check out the app Screen Off and Lock.. I use it with the tv effect & it has sounds and other effects
Enjoy
Screen Off and Lock
Screen Off and Lock does work and looks great only if you press the shortcut, not if you press the hardware power button.

Good point, thanks!
I really don't like the hardware buttons...the home key is too slim and I always press the menu key when playing with the device in landscape, while I really appreciated the on screen navigation bar of the galaxy nexus. It's simply always there, it's a lot faster to access the app switcher and it's really better in everything (in my opinion of course).
If it isn't yet possible I'll stick with my nexus till this feature will be available because I really can't stand with those poor designed hardware keys.
Thank you very much

Wait for cm9/aokp

I second that... on screen keys are the way forward... saves accidental presses too.

Waiting for someone to bring out the on screen buttons on Samsung rom as well.the problem with aokp rom is that some Samsung functions are lost. I tried to enable it in Samsung rom by it freezes the phone. I can see that the Samsung onsxreen button has slightly different icon that standard ics. Hopefully someone can figure put how to do it on stock rom soon

You and me both... The on screen keys is the reason I'm still using my gnex as opposed to my gs3.

It's not quite the same and looks no where near as nice.... Plus I would also want to disable the capacitive buttons.
I too want to disable the home button and cap buttons and use on screen nav when I get my phone. Is it possible on a samsung based rom? I know you can enable on screen nav pretty easily and on the GS2 there was a way to disable the buttons and lights but on the Gs2 I thought it cost too much screen real estate. with a 4.8 inch screen I wouldnt mind giving up a little bit of it for on screen nav

I don't mind the home button still working as I don't think I would make any accidental presses, the capacitive buttons on the other hand need to be disabled.
Lets get a dev to make it happen... I don't mind donating to the cause either.

here is a post by GalaxyUser that shows you how to enable the lockscreen rotation on ics. following the instructions you can also enable the ics navigation bar as well as a number of other mods. the options are in the bools.xml file within framework-res.apk\res\values\bools.xml.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525045
select the line that says
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">false</bool>
and change false to true
then follow the rest of his instructions.
also, instructions to disable or enable the capacitive menu and back keys:
(i did not come up with these instructions but found them on a search a long time ago...cant remember the thread or else I would link to it)
1) Use a program like root explorer
2) go to /system/usr/keylayout
3) create a new file named "melfas-touchkey.kl" with the following text:
#key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
4) also create a second file named "sec_touchkey.kl" with the same text
5) change the permissions of both files to "rw-r--r--" (just like the other files in the directory)
6) reboot...done!
to re-enable just remove the files you just created and reboot
good luck
thanks

Wow, that's the right link. I was able to disable softkeys and I already tried messing with bools.xml but my new framework-res crashed everything. I gave a look to the link you posted and it seems to be great! Tomorrow if I find some spare time I'll try.
Thank you very much!

Thank you so much. Those hardware buttons were driving me insane. Happy to have them disabled now. Thanks, gratefully given!
may i get a little help?
Somehow i cant change the permission of melfas_touchkey.kl
if i try Anttek explorer says the partition is read only... (i have root privileges) however i created the file with.. strange..
What i did wrong?
I recently installed Lollipop ZV8, and I have my home button colors set to white. I've noticed in certain apps the color changes to black, and changes back to white when I leave the program. The same thing happens when my Swiftkey keyboard opens.
Any ideas for a fix for this behavior? I want the home buttons to always be white.
Just go into your settings and make sure that the keyboard is always set to be white. This is kinda normal it's just how the lg software does things.

I'm not sure what settings you're referring to. This happens with most 3rd party applications. Never had an issue before installing the Lollipop update. Aren't there other people having this same issue?
Sorry messed up, the keys are part of lollipop just wait until xposed+xposed g3 I'm sure the will have something for it
Well then maybe it's not an "issue" as you seem to think but just normal to Lollipop. Personally holding off on installing the ZV8 OTA for the time being. My ZV6 KitKat setup works just fine and dandy. If it's not broken, why fix..
@dwitherell made an awesome mod that I have used in other ROMs and have not seen for the V20. So, I asked him if he could make it for the V20. All credit goes to him.
The mod lets you use your volume keys to move the cursor back and forth while you are in a txt field. It is very helpful when you type a long txt, for instance, and you realize you need to edit it. It's much easier to use the volume keys than to try to get the cursor where you need it with your finger. The mod involves some changes to the framework.jar file in /system/framework/. To make it work, you just need to replace the current framework.jar file with the one you DL from the following link and reboot. The first reboot takes a long time. It will go to the "Android is starting" screen and take a while to complete. Be patient. It is a good idea to keep a backup of the original framework.jar file.
I have only tested this on the WETA ROM for TMO. However, it should work on any TMO ROM where the framework.jar has not already been modified. I confirmed with @NotATreoFan that his ROM has an unmodifed framework.jar file. So, this should work on his ROM, at least on TMO.
I do not know if the mod will work on v20 ROMs for other carriers other than TMO. You could probably do a CRC compare of the stock TMO framework.jar and the one in your ROM to be sure. If the files are the same, the mod should work.
If it works on your non-TMO ROM, let me know.

This kinda cool to know, quick Q... How do the volume buttons behave outside of a text...do they still control volume? Does the mod work in web based message boards like here?

I had the same question before I first used it. When not in a txt field,. which is most of the time, volume controls work totally normally. It should work any time you are able to type. It just works. Note that you will need to re-replace the framework.jar file every time you flash your rom (unless the dev decides to bake in the modified jar file).

Definitely gone give this a spin
I appreciate the mod from Dwitherell so I'm definitely not trying to downplay it or anything, but just thought I'd mention this for anyone who uses SwiftKey and doesn't know about it already (or anyone else who might want to try it)..
SwiftKey keyboard has an option in it's settings called "arrow keys" (which is not enabled by default) that adds a row of up, down, left, and right arrow keys across the bottom of the keyboard, which allow you to navigate the cursor throughout your text.
I know everyone has their own preferences so to each their own of course but imho it basically eliminates the problem this mod was made for, and for me at least whenever I try different keyboards always wind up switching back to SwiftKey because I'm so use to having the arrows. Anyway hope it helps

Google Board (G-Board) allows you to use wipe gestures on the space bar to move around quite a bit, quite fast. Just throwing that out there too.

Yes. I have used the arrows on swiftkey before. I like the volume keys better because you can use your left hand to quickly move back and forth, while you can swype type with your right, without having to peck around with a finger on the arrow keys. Install the mod and see what I mean.

Yes and the stock LG keyboard lets you swipe in the space bar to move the cursor. For me, it is more precise to move one space at a time with each click of the volume key. Try it an you'll see.

I've used that mod before. I agree it's useful. However I prefer on screen controls.
My new app Cursor Control lets you use the volume keys to easily move the cursor in text fields and works without Root.
