[FIXED link in OP] Autocorrect not working properly 1.5.13

**lemonsc1** · 05-13-2011, 01:44 PM

The autocorrect on 1.5.13 only draws words from my contacts. Is anyone else having this problem or knows of a fix for it?

Edit by stiffspliff: flash this http://goo.gl/6jq7i to get the themed blue keyboard back with autocorrect

I see this problem too.

**akrito** · 05-13-2011, 02:18 PM

Me as well. I think Spliff released an update when this happened last time

**krypticide** · 05-13-2011, 03:14 PM

Looks like the official MIUI ROMs got an update for this, so I imagine an update should be coming soon. Thanks Spliff!

Well, I rather have this little bug than the major ones of last week.

Go to the market and download the SwiftKey beta and give that a whirl. I bet that you end up loving this keyboard and buying it. The way it auto-predicts saves so much time, and faster than Swype IMO.

For all of you with autocorrect issues, in addition to the keyboards you can find in the market, you can definitely use one of these keyboards, all with working autocorrect.

Official EVO HTC_IME (Unthemed)
GingerBread 2.3 Default Keyboard
Themed HTC_IME_MOD from RLS3

You may have to push these to /system/app, fix permissions (rw-r--r--) and reboot a couple of times, but they each work. I just tested them all. I now have eight keyboards on my EVO! LOL. Time to go clean some off.

I grabbed these links from Myn's page. I use the third one, Myn's 2.2 keyboard, (beautiful!) anyway so I haven't gone without auto. Pick your favorite and you should be all set until stiff builds an update pack.

I know how to push a file to a selected location, but I do not know how to set the permissions. I have not purchased root explorer and would prefer not to, is there another way to set permission through adb or terminal?

**microsnook** · 05-13-2011, 06:04 PM

^ You might be able to fix permissions in RomManger...not sure if that would help or not.

**lemonsc1** · 05-13-2011, 06:10 PM

I was thinking that, i'll give it a whirl. If not i might jst splurge and buy Root Explorer. I have found myself needing it a lot lately and I know I won't be disappointed.

Best buy ever! Can't tell you how many times I've used this to push apps or change my eri.xml or everything else it does!

**lemonsc1** · 05-13-2011, 06:26 PM

I bought it, but do I unzip the keyboards then move to system/app or just move it all over and set permissions?

I overwrote the stock keyboard by mistake and am stuck with Swiftkey, which I am not to fond of. Any help?

Yes, you can either unzip it right on your EVO or on your PC and move it over (Dropbox is immensely handy for that sort of thing if you don't have it already, get it.)

Once you have the apk unpacked:

Longpress the keyboard apk
Select Copy
Back out to the main screen using the Parent Folder line at the top
Once at the main screen scroll down to System
Then App
Mount R/O at the top left and hit Paste
Accept overwrite
Then longpress the keyboard apk
Select Permissions
Check all three circles in the first column (Read) and only the top circle in the middle column (Write)
Hit OK and then reboot

You might have to reboot several times for it to stick, but it will stick.

You probably knew the method, but these posts are for everybody so hopefully the complete instructions will save someone else the hassle of asking.

I appreciate the help, I'm giving it a try as I type.

EDIT: Worked like a charm! Thanks justs!

Good deal, glad to help.

What is the name of the keyboard apk in miui? Is LatinIME.apk?

NVM.....autocorrect fixed

Most of us should have 1.5.6 saved somewhere. Extract the LATINIME.apk out it using Root Explorer. Then follow justs methods a few posts up. Worked perfectly after one reboot.

Now autocorrect is back.

Do you have the .apk that you could post?

Also, my keyboard is not themed. Is this other peoples' experience also?
