Hi all,

I recently installed AOKP ICS Milestone 5 onto my Samsung Galaxy S I9000, but one of the things i hate is the stock keyboard, the keys are too small and i end up hitting the wrong letters.

So i decided to try and install HTC_IME keyboard with Clicker_hi, the problem with this is that it forced closed everytime i selected a word.

I downloaded a compatible version but when i unzipped HTC_IME_hi22 there were 7 files in the folder i.e assets, lib, META-INF, res, AndroidManifest, classes,dex and resources.arsc. but what do i do with them.

I'm can't code for the life of me, can someone help me with this?

Rename that HTC_IME_hi22 to .apk that might work

Could you not also install it through Recovery?

That normally means you need to flash the ZIP file you downloaded in CWM, or some other compatible recovery, or you may have to push it via ADB. Where did you download the ZIP file? There should of been instructions on applying the KB.
