[MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

Has anyone been looking for the stock keyboard with arrows? If so, here's a fully functional ported keyboard I found HERE that works great on the 3d using Sense 3.0 (Version: 4.1.2118412438.149828). I figured others might find it useful so I take no credit in making/porting it.. just sharing with everyone!! Enjoy..

- full STOCK
- with full trace
- with full auto-correction
- all languages
- flashable over recovery

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

forgive the novice, but how would i install this keyboard?!
thanks!

flash zip through recovery...

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

flash zip through recovery?
sorry, if those were the installation instructions, i'm not sure what I am supposed to do!!

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

Flashing through recovery is one of the methods to install it if you're rooted.

From what I've gathered, so you'd need to download the .apk file. If using a computer, download the file and save it somewhere easy to find on the computer. Now attach your device to the computer(thru usb) and select "mount as disk drive". Once connected copy and paste the apk file to an easy to find location on the storage card. Unplug the device from the computer. Now using any file explorer app navigate to the location of the apk. Once found simply click on it and the installation process should start..

Or you can easily download from the device itself and once completed click on it from the notification pulldown..

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

I've followed those steps and after I click on "install", i receive a message that "This is a system application. Do you want to replace it?" I click "OK", and then click "Install". It then says "installing", followed by a message that "Application not installed."

I do not know if my phone is "rooted" but I used the apk option that is listed for non-rooted phones.

Any more ideas on installation???!!!!

Thanks!

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

Hi, i followed those instructions, downloading the apk file onto the storage card and the clicking on it. The first message I receive is "Replace application. This is a system application. Do you want to replace it?" i click OK, and then receive the screen telling me what the application will be allowed to do. I click "Install" and it says it is installing and the next message is "Application not installed."

I don't think my phone is "rooted", at least I don't recall doing anything to cause it to be rooted.

I downloaded the version listed above for the "Non-Rooted User."

Any more thoughts on installation. I'd really like to have the arrows!!

Thanks!!

Try this.. tho I'm not 100% sure if it will work.

Its not installing cause its a system file and the phone is protecting itself.

So download the file and rename itt PG86IMG.zip

Move it to the root of your sd card

Under settings go to power and check "fast boot"

Power down your phone.

Power back up by holding vol down and power for like 10 seconds. It should reboot to a white screen wlth the words hboot across the top.
(By the way here you can see what hboot your phone is on but chances are its 1.50)

The phone should auto detect the PG86IMG.zip file and ask you to flash. Highlight the apropiet answer by toggling up or down with the volume keys and pressing power to select.

After that it should be all set, reboot ans enjoy.

And delete the zip after reboot so that your hboot doesn't keep loading it.

Hopefully that works...

Hi, I've done the powering down, etc. I do have hboot 1.5. When the screen comes up, its provides the following selections:

Fastboot
Recovery
Factory Reset
Simlock
Image CRC

I didn't see a "flash" option and wasn't sure which option to select?? I did see that when it ran through the Hboot series it did see the PG86IMG.zip file.

Which option should I select?

Thanks!!

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

perhaps select recovery?
I dont know if the evo 3d comes with a recovery on its own, I rooted mine and flashed a custom recovery befor it was even activated lol

If it load a rocovery screen, then your going to want to select whatever option ses "flash zip"
It may say it differently but thats basically what your going to want to look for

If you can do that then just find the keyboard on your sd card.

Best of Luck

Lol its in the first post.. and that's wats up! I started skinning it but then lost it all when my laptops HDD failed again. Great job on that bro!

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

Yup it's only been about a week & a half since it went down and it feels like it's been way way longer! Never realized how much i enjoy modding.. can't wait to start playing with all the different android tools and photoshop again!!

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

I had the EVO 4G for quite awhile, just upgraded to the EVO 3D and the new keyboard is really ticking me off. The lack of arrows and placement is whooping me.

I've tried the steps mentioned above. I do not have my phone rooted, nor unlocked.

When I ran the APK, I got the same error about application not installed. I renamed the APK to the ZIP and when I load up in hboot and select recovery, I see the upgrade icon, then another icon with a red icon on it. I have to remove my battery to shut the phone down and restart.

Do we have any way of using this keyboard without rooting and/or unlocking our phones?

For what it's worth, this is what I see on my hboot.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry to say... But we haven't figured out how to get it working for non root..

An alternative may be swiftkey x?
I've been using it for about a week or so.

Very responsive and has option for arrows.

There is a free and paid version in the market.
Tho I haven't seen any difference between the 2

Thanks for the response. I tried several others and I'm so used to the layout of the old one that typing has become aggravating, lol. Everything seems out of place.

I had my EVO 4G rooted and I can do it again with this one, but I just bought it and not sure I want to risk bricking it just for a keyboard. Know what I mean? It just sucks they don't make the arrows optional to satisfy the majority.

Ya I know what you mean. I came from a tp2.
Arrows are nessecary.

I'd say give swiftkey x a shot. You can customize alot of it, right down to the size of the keys.

It's very close to this keyboard with arrows.
It's alot more responsive tho, I make 10 times less typos in swiftkey

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

I tried SwiftKey came away unimpressed... I think mostly because of having to pay for it. The layout and arrows of the stock HTC EVO 4G were great ... I thought. If I have to pay a few bucks and can somehow configure SwiftKey to the same... I'd probably be okay. Although I hate how the space key popups... wish I could disable that popup, but have the other small keys popup. The big key popping up abuses my ADD lol

My space bar doesn't pop up?

And I could swear there was a free version of it..

In anycase, pm with your email. I'll see what I can do

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

You're right, there is a free version. I just hate Trial software because it usually means it'll expire (probably after I really started liking it) or you're missing features or they'll throw in an update in a few months that renders the software useless unless you pay up. As a consumer, the use of "Trial" makes me feel like I'm borrowing something. I think "Lite" is more gooder! :)


Anyhow, I've been playing around with SwiftKey X Trial and I think I got it to a flavor I can deal with.

This was perfect for me. I got used to this quickly and liked it a lot.

Then when I upgraded to HTC EVO 3D, I was stuck with this.

And now I think this setup should suffice until I figure out how to force the first pictured keyboard through. However, I'm focusing on finding a good 3500+ mAh battery. :)

Thanks for the help!

Good shit aedon!! I hooked you up(put you on) with swiftkey x about a week ago and now you've hooked me up by helping out in one of my threads using it as an alternative option.. thanks amigo!!

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

I desperately wanted to use your solution, but it won't install for me. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or serious here, but again, I wanted to use your solution, but it just won't install for me and I'm not willing to root my phone.

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

Na def wasn't being sarcastic..was pointing out that that's what this community is all about..helping eachother! I scratch your back, you scratch mine type of deal!!

I don't blame ya for not wanting root right now with hboot1.5 .. it's none of htc's business what we're doing with our devices!! Only way to currently use this is by rooting but don't worry, aedon and I as well as folks at xda are still trying hard to get it working for non root users as well. Swiftkey is def a great alternative..I've been using it over this ported version!!

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

I'm really hoping the HTC EVO 4G keyboard can be ported (without root required) to the EVO 3D because the SwiftKey X Trial is just annoying in comparison. It was great initially, but when I started typing emails for work, insanely frustrating, lol.

It's not SwiftKey X Trial that's the problem, it's surely me. I just don't like it and am tired of trying. I went back to the stock keyboard without the arrows for the time being.

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

installed v.09 & get a force close, yes I'm rooted

Might have been a bad download. Try downloading it again.

If that doesn't work you might want to go to the original thread.over at xda and download his latest version

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

i tried the new one & only keyboard i can use is this POS Swype
it says it been flashed successfully but still no keyboard

Edit: heard it's causing problems for us on the latest 2.17 update

Ya a lot of stuff isn't working with 2.17
That's why I'm not running it

Re: [MOD KEYBOARD] Sense 3.0 - Keyboard Port with Arrows-Trace-AutoCorrection
 

yeah I had to flash 2.17 over again to get my stock keyboard back
I was stuck with Swype & I don't like that crap plus it was slow & laggy

If your not wanting to.go back to 2.08 then I'd sudjest you try out zone23's ROM. He has all the available updated files for 2.17 so if the keyboard is gana work, I'd say that's your best bet for now.
