Problem:
I installed titanium backup and became uninstall happy. One of the things I uninstalled was swype. After uninstalling swype, an error kept on appearing and I was unable to use my keyboard. I didn't make any backups including a nandroid backup. I factory reseted my phone (do not factory reset your phone if you have flashed a custom rom) hoping this would fix the error. It didn't and I was left with the super user app and four other apps.
What I tried that didn't work:
I went to developer.android.com and downloaded and installed the sdk for my phone to the computer I was using. I would get an error everytime I tried to drag and drop com.android.inputmethod.latin to my phone. I went to market.android.com and downloaded a keyboard and installed it to my phone. My phone never received the download. I tried to use the bluetooth on my phone to connect a wireless keyboard to my phone. I found out that you need an app to connect a wireless keyboard to your phone using bluetooth.
What I thought about doing but couldn't try:
I could use someone else's phone and put my sdcard in there phone and download a keyboard and transfer the keyboard to my sdcard. No one would let me touch there phone after what I did to my phone, let alone root their phone so I could fix my own phone. Use a usb connector to connect a keyboard to my phone. I don't think there is one and if there is, I don't have money to buy it. Download a stock rom or custom rom using a computer and transferring it to my phone so I can flash it. I don't have a working computer and I don't know how to do this through a computer.
Solution:
Feeling hopeless, I started messing around with my phone. I found out that you can copy, cut and paste text. You can only do this using spaces that can be typed on like the url box for the browser. You can write out words by copying and pasting letters to an empty box you can type on. To copy a letter, place a text insert before or after the letter you wish to copy. Long press on the box and a menu will appear. Choose select text. Click on the opposite end of the letter and the letter will become highlighted. Long press on the box and this time, choose copy. Go to the empty box you can type on and long press on the box. Choose paste. Do this over and over until you spell out what you need. After searching for an hour, I still couldn't find all the letters and symbols I needed. So here is an easier way to do this. I had someone text me the password for my wifi, my gmail account, the password to my gmail account and go keyboard. I long pressed on the text message I received and was given a menu to choose from. I chose copy message text. I long pressed on the box asking for my wifi password and chose paste. I highlighted everything that wasn't part of my wifi password and chose cut to remove the text. I clicked connect and it worked. I did the same thing with my gmail account and gmail password. This time is a little different though. After pasting the text message I copied to the box asking for my gmail account, I cutted my gmail password first and pasted it in the box asking for my gmail password. Then I cutted out every text and space that didn't belong. I went to the android market and downloaded go keyboard using the copy, paste and cut technique. I switched over to go keyboard and my problem was solved. You can download any keyboard you want. It doesn't have to be go keyboard. To make things even easier for you, you can have the person texting you text you more than one text message containing what is needed for each part. In my case, it would be four different text messages. One for my wifi password, one for my gmail account, one for my gmail password and one for the keyboard I want to download from the android market.
Sorry if this is confusing and I hope this helps.
