Cant find HTC_IME in Market? :confused:

mrk · 9 Oct 2009 at 11:44

IME is not in the market as it's a port from Hero's KB, it is however on XDA Devs forum (already been linked via the Cyanogen rom links previously)

To add my 2p I use the IME keyboard in 'Phone Keypad' mode so its like the old phone keypads, but I finder it quicker that way. Just thought It might help people.

Where can I find that KB?

I used this one kerplunk: http://lifehacker.com/5344955/get-a-better-android-keyboard-no-rooting-required

I would recommend using astro file manager to install the files instead of eoeAppInstaller

The negativity is from people who expect the phone to behave like a previous handset. As stated if you don't explore other avenues to try and give these annoyances a chance (be it by alternative software or manual setting changes) then maybe a smart phone is for more patient people.

Will anyone be giving up on cyanogen roms for donut release though?

I can't really see how they are going to have it quite as fast as this!

What version of Android is cyanogen's rom based on? He'll update it to 1.6 himself won't he?

It's already based around 1.6 and has been for the last few releases.

MarcLister · 10 Oct 2009 at 00:12

Ah of course. He'll have used the Android 1.6 SDK?

mrk · 10 Oct 2009 at 00:33

Indeed. His Donut releases have been smelling like "jet fuel" for several builds now

w00t, my class 6 8gb card just arrived. How the hell do they get 8gb of memory onto such a small thing?

tonyyeb · 10 Oct 2009 at 09:25

Ill wait to see what the official 1.6 release is like... then if it isn't much faster then ill be rooting tooting!

deadite66 · 10 Oct 2009 at 09:40

one click root is patched in 1.6 you'll have to go the long way round to root it.

I rooted my phone on cupcake. I want to update to a rooted donut version (not cyanogen). The build I downgraded to is CRB17. I also want to be 100% sure that my recovery image is in place. Can anyone direct me to some good links

?

rmuir · 10 Oct 2009 at 13:12

Just installed 4.1.999 and....

well im going back, if i can, to 4.1.11.1. The update process went fine but now i cannot select anything on the phone. I can open up the drawer but it wont allow me to open anything up.

ah well

edit

thats better, not sure what happened I was getting force close all over the place, sat the phone down for 2 mins picked it back up and it was off. Reboot and it appears to be fine. PHEW.

ElliorR · 10 Oct 2009 at 13:52

I always worry when flashing a new rom but so far nothing bad has happened. The good thing is though, I know how to get back to a known good phone state if it does go **** up.

rmuir · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:34

oh well

Just restored nandroid backup to 4.1.11.1

Don't know what was up but the phone was dog slow, 2 or 3 second delays to open anything, was getting force close for market, messaging and home. Wouldnt let me add widgets.

Roll on 4.2 stable

ElliorR · 10 Oct 2009 at 14:47

You did download and use the HTC 1.6 image file that gets flashed before you flash 4.1.99/4.1.999?
