I just recently reflashed to Warm 2.2 release 5 and now I can't get the warm themed HTC_IME_Mod to work. I have tried swype and other keyboards, but I still really prefer the customizable HTC_IME_MOD keyboard. All help on this will be much appreciated. I realize this has been brought up before, but no one seems to have addressed it yet.

This could be a number of things! Beginning with the HTC IME mod.apk that you're trying to install not being signed to the rom itself.........What I would do is this!
Post this question in this thread

Is the thread for the rom you have flashed and you have a 99.9% chance of getting your question answered quickly!
Unfortunately I have not yet reached the "10 post requirement" to post in that forum yet... Also, multiple people asked similar questions on this subject in that particular thread and it was never addressed. I do appreciate your input though.

What happens when you try to install it? Does it install and then not work or force close,or does it not install at all? You're rather vague, by saying "it doesn't work". Is it the keyboard that is linked in Myns first post? What are the steps you took to try installing it?

I used the update.zip listed on Myn's thread and installed it like any other flashable app. When I select it as the input source for my keyboard it begins to repeatedly force close without ever even displaying.

Okay, got ya. Now I know where you stand. If I were presented with that problem, I would first try clearing cache and dalvik from recovery. If that doesn't fix it, I would uninstall the keyboard, reboot, wipe cache and dalvik, then try again. I've never had any issues with the keyboard before, but this is what id try if I did.

I will definitely give all of that a shot. Though this will come off as amatuerish, I'm going to ask anyways: How do I uninstall the keyboard? I have used Astro to locate the program, then selected it to open the app manager where I am presented with the option to uninstall it. I select unistall and it says that it is unable to uninstall. I can delete the update.zip, but that has no effect either. Also, does clearing the cache and dalvik have any negative impact on the ROM or any data from any of my other programs?

To keep it simple, just reflashing the keyboard should over write itself, so no real need to actually uninstall I guess.
However if you did want to uninstall, you'll need a root level file explorer, preferably Root Explorer, but you can use ES file explorer as a free alternative if you don't have root explorer. The keyboard will be in the /system/app folder, as htc ime or something. Now, its possible that there could be some libs associated with the keyboard that need to be removed , but I wouldn't know without looking at the file. Either way, probably just reflash the keyboard after wiping cache and dalvik cache. That will be the easiest to try.
Also, you're sure the keyboard.you're using is for RLS5? I can't recall if there were compatibility issues between rls4 and rls5
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for the quick responses. I'll just try reflashing after wiping the cache/dalvik as you suggested. I would not say that I am positive about the compatibility, The keyboard I'm attemting to install is listed in the optional add-ons for release 5 though. I know a few others had this problem, but I never saw any kind of response from Myn or anyone else regarding it. I'm trying to adapt to the swype keyboard, as it may be my only choice moving forward (short of reflashing back to release 4), but I find it somewhat awkward. I suppose with enough time I will get over it, but I would sure like to try to get the HTC IME mod back if possible...

I hate the htc keyboard, lol I can't stand the arrows. I always hit them by accident. Even the one without the arrows sucks for me. Just don't like it. Have you tried any of the gingerbread keyboards? I like them better, and have an easier time typing on it. I suggest trying one out, if you haven't yet. Once im on my computer, I could give you a couple keyboards to try, or at least links to check out.

Any time,
Awesome, glad to help! As a rule of thumb, to be safe, wipe cache and dalvik cache before you flash anything at all. I suggest a full wipe before flashing a rom, always.
Take care.

This keyboard does not have the dumb arrows either. Instead it lets you use gestures for several things (ie: shifting to/from CAPS, skipping to beginning/end of the word, hiding the keyboard) as well as the volume buttons on the side of the phone to move the cursor left/right. It also has a quick key for emoticons...(lame I know, but I use them often enough that it is very convenient). Again, thanks for the assistance!

You're welcome. And yup, I remember using that keyboard on myns, before I converted to the gb keyboard. I did like being able to use the volume rocker to move the cursor, that was convenient. I just love the scrollable toolbar on the gb keyboard, and the layout a bit better too. Thankfully there are tons of options with android, so everyone can use a keyboard that suits their own preference. Love choices.

Not exactly...the new update blocks you from using other launchers.
If you don't have the update it'll work without root and you don't need to remove sense.
On the other hand, if you have the update you will need to root your phone first.

That is because it is not technically an app, at least not the type that you are accustomed to using. Do this to get it to work.
1. Go to Settings ---> Applications ---> Manage Applications
2. After the list loads scroll down to HTC Sense, tap "Clear Defaults" and "Force Stop"
Touch the home button and it should give you an option on which launcher you would like to load.
Hope this helps!

Already rooted and running fresh. And apparently this came with the most recent fresh update, but had no idea out to try it out! So thanks! This is exactly what i needed.
disabling sense and using the stock launcher was the only way to get my computer to see my phone. i tried launcher pro but my comp will not see my phone now, very very frustrating.

Really?
I've been in root land so I haven't used it and I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't BLOCK other launchers, I think it just doesn't include the 2.1 AOSP launcher "Launcher 2."
As far as the system cares, your home screen is just an app like a browser or music app, it is just a matter of disabling which one is set as default. This can be done in the applications menu via the method described above, or you may find the application "Home Switcher" useful if you like to try out different home screen launchers?
I certainly could be wrong, but I would be surprised if they blocked the ability to turn off sense as the default.
You do not need to be rooted to use either ADW.Launcher nor LauncherPro.
I highly doubt the launcher is causing your computer to not see the device.

No, the new OTA removes the stock Launcher2. It doesn't block anything.

Wrong. You can either use the Force Close trick to get Sense to close, or you can just grab Home Switcher from the Market and use that to close Sense.

I doubt it either, but wit the stock launcher as default my comp saw my phone n that was the only way, wouldnt work wit sense. Wit the new update, they removed the launcher so i tried launcher pro as default n it didnt work. But the weird thing is that my computer at work sees my phone wit no problem, so it must be something within my comp that i cant seem to figure out. n my comp is fully updated n drivers are all up to date so its weird.
I just loaded launcher pro last night. Took me a while to figure it out too as it is NOT in the apps and there are NO instructions.
Is it just me...or is there some conspiracy in Android land to NEVER HAVE ANY INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!!
grrrr
Anyway...somehow one time I tapped the home button on phone and it popped up with a window that asked which one I wanted to use. No idea how I got it, but there it was. It had stock android, launcher, and sense listed. (I am still pre-ota). I have played around with all three.
However...honestly...I found launcher to be a complete slow tortoise! Seriously. Everyone hatin on Sense and Launcher was the slowest thing I have ever seen. And I hadn't even added any apps to it. Not sure I like it at all.
Only cool bit is the home screen rotation...which is what I was looking for. I should go leave comments on this....
LauncherPro is a speed demon and is great to use (been doing so since I found out about it).
I have no idea why it would be slow for you at all.
Cuz he has sense still running I would think
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Be sure to clean slate your HTC Sense Launcher. I am running EVOlution V9 now, so can't remember exactly where the option is; but it's there somewhere. I installed Launcher Pro on my Stock ROM yesterday before rooting and loved it. Everything worked great once I deleted everything off of my HTC Sense Launcher and set Launcher Pro to default. Running it on Froyo now as well.

You think? I heard so many great things about it, but it is nasty slow on my machine. So if I choose it from that pop up window...then you think sense is still trying to run but with that launcher??
So...how is this done? You have to actually get rid of sense or can you turn it off without root?
(ps...i do plan to root, but not until i make a decision in my 30 day period...yes, i have commitment issues!)

Open Sense again. I think if you hit menu, something like "Scenes" or similar will appear. Select that and select "Clean Slate." That should clear your Sense homescreen.
Then try Launcher Pro again.
On the 2.1 ROM, the keyboard had a little microphone button that allowed you to perform voice input. On the new 2.2 keyboard, this has been replaced with a language-switching button. How do you bring up the voice input button? I saw a few references to swiping, but it doesn't seem to work.
Mine has the voice input button not sure why yours doesn't...

Ok - so I'm not crazy. At least a few of you are having this problem. Maybe we just have to wait for the "OFFICIAL" release? Though I don't understand why they would have moved/removed this feature.
I'm convinced the .3 release is the official release... The .1 (Ava) release is the one I think HTC was concerned about. We'll see tomorrow, I suppose.

Ok, I managed to "fix" it on my phone.
I flashed netarchy's "final" 2.2 OTA rooted image on my phone, and noticed that I had my voice input back. As soon as I ran Titanium Backup and restored everything is when I started having the problem.
Solution? Just wipe the whole damn thing, and selectively restore what I needed from Titanium Backup (which doesn't seem to include the package that causes my keyboard to lose voice input).

Since you said you were able to fix it by just using TI to backup what you wanted, is there a chance you can backup a working IME version? I flashed over DC 3.2.3, so that may be the reason.

Sorry for the late reply. It wasn't that I backed up a good version, it's that I didn't restore the bad version. In other words, I'm using the exact keyboard that came with the 2.2 update. I tried to restore everything EXCEPT for the keyboard, but that didn't seem to do it either. It must not be named properly, or some other non-obvious config that is interfering with it.
Has this not been solved yet? is there no way to grab the sense 2.2 keyboard app and then force the voice input button on there?
Anyone have a solution that doesn't require wiping your phone?

Doing a TI backup, wiping and restoring with TI took virtually no effort and reconfiguration. It is by far the easiest way to do this.
Do a batch TI backup for just your apps + data, then manually backup the green items and pick a few of the others you need (voicemail, user dictionary, etc). All I have to do now is update the TI backups I already have to prepare myself for a full wipe.
Hey guys,
Despite my post title, I really like MIUI a lot (I'm on Evo with 1.5.20). It's been extremely stable for me, no FCs and the interface is very clean in a way that I like. Its been fine as a daily driver for me and I just have a few issues that are preventing me form staying with it, but I thought I'd ask for help/feedback first:
1) Lagginess: Everything I read about MIUI said it was blazing fact, but on my evo, i find its a bit slow. It doesn't "stutter" in the middle of things like my stock rom, but it just is slow moving. Any feedback on whether this is normal or if I have a setting wrong?
2) Google shortcuts: I used to have shortcuts directly to gmail folder/labels so I could jump right into some filtered email. Now I don't see this capability in MIUI or any direct navigation or call shortcuts, etc. Why?
3) 3G speed: My 3g seems slower and laggy as well. Web pages often get stuck at 10% and then take a long time to resume and load. Any idea why?
4) Bluetooth: I get occasional bluetooth drops if I try to do something else on the phone while talking. For example, I took a business call today, then fired up wifi to look something up while talking and my bluetooth dropped.
5) Sounds/themes: the range of sounds seems limited or not to my liking and the downloadable themes look to "Asia" to me. Any way to get better system sounds and more clean, americanized themes?
6) Clock timer: I used my stock stopwatch or minute timer when BBQing all the time and was shocked to find there isn't one on MIUI. Is here an update or do you just use another app?
Thanks in advance for any help. Despite the list above, its really somethign I am very happy with and haven't had the urge to reflash, but I would like to get these last issues resolved.

You might want to back everything up and use either calks format all or virus superwipe. What recovery are you using? Clockwork had a problem not fully wiping, I dont know if that is still the case. I use amon-ra recovery, myself.

Using clockwork. The problem with half this rooting stuff is everyone is using different tools and its tricky to find where to download them all. A lot of threads and links end up being outdated.
If you have rom manager you can switch to amon-ra through the application. The option is at tge bottom it says flash.alternate recovery, that is amon-ra. You can get calk's format all zip from his threads he has a couple. You can also search by author of thread. His handle is calukin.

The only problems I have had are some issues it apps FCing. I use these apps daily and was wondering if anybody has had any luck fixing FC problems? I would hate to do it, but if I can't get these apps working right I might have to reflash DL17 again.
Here are some of the apps I have come across so far that FC every time:

-Stock Android Browser
-Movies
I am sure there are other, but these are the only ones that I have found so far that I use on a regular basis. If anybody has any insight on this it would be great.

Can I assume you wiped dalvik on install? If so, I'd start by clearing data on each of the affected apps in settings/applications/manage applications. And if that fails, try deleting the apps themselves, along with any data stored on SD card and reinstall fresh. Generally fc issues are due to the way the app interacts with the system.

Yeah, the browser is not that big of a deal, I switched to Opera and like it alot better than stock anyway. I ran the clean EC07 first before I switched to your rom, but I only had it on for a couple of hours so I don't know if that one had the FC issues as well. I don't think there is enough difference between the two to cause these issues. Yours is just more debloated.

Yes, I wiped cache, dalvik cache, and did factory reset/wipe data before I installed the rom, then wiped the caches again after just to be sure. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling all the apps I was having problems with. I will try clearing the app data and removing data from SD card tonight and let yall know if anything changes.

Ok, tried clearing data, uninstalling, wiping SD card, and reinstalling apps. Didn't work, they are all three still FCing. I think it has something to do with them accessing network/data. Browser doesn't FC until I try to load a page, Wells Fargo doesn't FC until I try to log in, and Flixter movies FCs as soon as I open it. All thee times they are trying to use network. Doesn't matter if I am on 3G for Wifi.
Just a thought, I don't know if that actually has anything to do with it.
One more thought, is it possible to have your phone hooked up to ADB in usb debugging while running an app to see why it is getting a force close?

I'm pretty sure you can use the command logcat for that

Yes. As circa said, logcat
Commands are as follows
Adb shell
(it will start daemon. Once that is done, you will get a hashtag)
Logcat
(wait for it to scroll, then after it settles down, start the affected app)

Several times I have edited my app drawer order, grouping apps by type on each page (a page for games, a page for internet stuff, a page for utilities, etc.), creating folders, etc. Then I hit Menu > Save, and everything is fine, until I reboot my phone. Then it loses the app order, and a few apps get seemingly randomly moved to their own pages, so the total number of pages grows from about 5 to upwards of 8 or 9. It seems like the most recently added apps get moved, but not always. I move them all back how they should be, but they only stay until a reboot.
Anyone else have this happen? Or better, found out why? Or even better, how to make them stay?
Really? Does nobody sort their apps? Or nobody has had this problem?

Are you on stock or a custom ROM?

I don't sort them in the App Drawer. I leave them arranged alphabetically grid or list. I do arrange the ones I most often use somewhere on the 7 Home Screens though.
They will not stay. It is an annoying problem. I use folders now to group my apps. And I have my apps sorted to stop the spacing issue.

I will try to replicate it. I am using ADW EX so I will switch it up and see what happens

Still happening on Starburst ROM 1.5, so the problem it's with TouchWiz and is not ROM-specific.
I made a backup of TWLauncher with Titanium, so when my drawer gets really messed up I restore data from the backup (killing the running process) and it does restore my app layout as it was when I made the backup. Not a solution, but a lot quicker than re-sorting 50 apps. If only I could figure out how to trigger a save of the layout...it seems to just do it occasionally and I can't figure out what triggers it (certainly not when the Save button gets pressed...as if that makes sense).
Had anyone replicated this issue on TouchWiz 3.5? (or is it 4.0... whatever the flashable one is that's newer than what ships with the device).
I know what u mean but for me its all good after i fix it a second time untill i change then itll revert to just before i changed
It only happened to me on 4.5 thiugh
Good thing actual tw4 launcher doesnt have that problem

Yes, it's a problem with TouchWiz - I can replicate this behaviour on my S2, factory 2.3.5 ROM without root

Bummer. Guess we have to wait for an official update to get an updated launcher.
are you saving the changes ?
You have to make your changes then hit menu again and save changes.
otherwise they don't stick.
after clicking save don't press anything for 30 secs or so
that seems to do it for me
if i save and immediatly go back it doesn't save

Okay, I'll do some organizing and give that a try.
hi all,
after updating my galaxy s2 from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 with kies, i had the same problem about sorting applications page.
i didnt reset my phone before or after updating with kies. first i tought that i might be about this. i was looking for a solution and i read these posts. without resetting my phone i just tried to delete files of TW Launcher.
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All(tab)
find and tap "TW Launcer"
tap "Clear data" button.
after that my home screen and applications screen look default.
applications screen sorted alphabetical.
i customized my home and app screen again and till now didnt change anyting, i mean didnt forget the layout of apps.
i wanted to share this little unprofessional solution with you =)
if there is a better way i want to learn.
finally i have a question, after updating to 2.3.5, when i tap contacts, it opens slowly, after 1 or 1.5 seconds lag(black screen) it opens. but not always. it happens just sometimes.
do you have the same behaviour?
sory for my english. looking forward to see your answers or comments.
i tried and there is no problem anymore

14th post,
see my firs post
I'm really surprised I haven't seen more people complaining about it but I guess most are not running TouchWiz.
To re-explain the problem I'm having..
You arrange all the applications in different panels the way you want (after you hit "applications" not the home screen panels)
After turning the phone off and on again Or plugging it in to the computer via USB and removing it, all the applications are a mess again. Not the way you arranged them and there doesn't seem to be any logic behind it.
It's not just the way they were the last time you turned the phone off or the last time you plugged in the USB cable.
I also thought having folders in an earlier panel may be causing later panels apps to get bumped around but I've tried it with the folders in the last panel and I get the same randomness.
