Where do you get the HTC_IME keyboard?
Well, I went back and tried installing v23, v24, v25, and v27 ("lores" versions of each) onto GSB v1.6, and every one of them FC'ed before they even appeared on the screen - when trying to bring them up from the browser. (Perversely, I tried bringing up the "Clicker.apk" app ( = "Keyboard Calibration" ) on one of the installs, and that worked just fine - but try to get it to launch from the "Input method" selector, and it would FC)
If I had been more motivated, I would have captured some logcats to see what was going on.
So, I poked around on the Internet, to see if I could find any references to the file named
"htc_ime_lowres22_experimental.zip"
This is the one that I have been successfully using. I found a two references to it on a Cyanogen forum, and then also found
this post on XDA. This one appears to be flashable; I unpacked it and cross-checked the MD5 sigs against the .apks that I have been using, and they matched. (Strangely, though, the original ".zip" file that I had was not a flashable zip, and had some additional files in it (for MacOS/X?) and some README.txt files)
In particular, the README.txt file had this note in it:
Code:
Experimental modification for FroYo 2.2 Voice Input by exiva. Tested on CyanogenMod 6.0-RC2. Full credit to jonasl.
If you'd like to build the source on your own, replace the voice folder from hi22/com/htc/android/htcime to lo/com/htc/android/htcime. Build as normal.
HTC_IME mod by jonasl
Details, instruction, donations and new versions:

Credits to modaco for the original apk
So, the "22" here means "for Android 2.2 = Froyo", not "v22". I guess that means that I don't know which version of the jonasl HTC_ime_mod keyboard it is derived from. (Arrrgh).
In any event, here's the MD5s for both of the .apks:
e9fc92da2bc9f83bdc3f486f3078f0b9 ./Clicker.apk
9dbf3eae26814556464d68fc5ddb6fda ./HTC_IME_lo22.apk
You can either flash the .zip in the linked XDA post above, or unpack it an manually install the .apks by hand. jonasl's instructions seemed to indicate that you should install "Clicker.apk" first.
cheers - sorry I couldn't figure out where I got this from.
