[Shorte85]

I was curious, does anyone know if it is possible to change the colors of the stock keyboard that comes with the phone?

Thanks, but I wouldn't even know where to begin there. lol

Besides, isn't this for rooted phones?

It is not for rooted phones. It is for everyone. It is installed very easily by following the detailed 1 step, 2 step, etc instructions.

it's 1,2,3 if you can count those number, you can get er done!

Thanks, very easy and you make them any way you want. Wish I could apply it to the swiftkey keyboard

I opened it with astro, goto settings keyboards, and select it. then just enable it in your messaging app with the text input. Hope this helps

 

[ACD168]

astro is my way as well..

 

[Stupifier]

Ya, use astro to install the apk. Make sure you check your settings to allow apk installs from sources other than Market.

So did you get it figured out?

Ok when you open up handcent, go like your gonna text someone, long press in the typing box, a box will pop up and as edit text, click on input method, another box will open up and you should see the keyboards you have, mine is touch inout, swiftkey, and HTC_IME mod. This is the keyboard you made click on that. Once you get back into your text it should be the keyboard you made

 

[Shorte85]

How do you know what version you have? Or what version do you want or should pick? For a unrooted phone is that helps any.

I did the froyo27 high res. non root

sweet your welcome

Yeah, I went ahead with that. However, when I got it into my phone, and then used astro to install it and went into keyboard settings and changed it, and then long pressed in the text message in put box and changed the keyboard there, a error pop up. I don't remember the error, but I'll give it another shot and see what happens.

 

[weihl165]

hmm I didnt get any errors, did it work after a reinstall?

 

[Shorte85]

Okay, after installing the *.apk on my phone using Astro. How do I make sure that I am selecting the new keyboard when I am in the keyboard settings?

I followed the following steps: http://androidforums.com/sony-erics...cant-my-new-gimpsta-keyboard.html#post1944818

And then got the same error as the following:

 

[weihl165]

Hmm I got that message when I tried going into the calibration tool.
Are talking about in your language&keyboards settings? If so then just select the htc_ime keyboard.

 

[Shorte85]

Not sure what the calibration tool is on the phone, but I went into the Language and keyboards settings and checked htc_mod, because that is all I have for a option.

 

[weihl165]

ok then wehn you open your messaging app, hold in the typing box and a box will pop up, hit input method, then htc_ime mod. This is the keyboard you made.

 

[Shorte85]

Yes, and that is when I got that error message above that I posted. lol

 

[weihl165]

lol oh ok sorry. I would try to unistall and reinstall. Anyone else?
