Reported by ogbertus, Feb 27, 2009
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a 2g iPhone on Firmware 2.1
2. Install IkeyEx and 5RowQwerty (from cydia or manually via .deb)
3. No problems during install, all settings are available.  When pressing
the globe to switch to 5Row QWERTY (in any type environment:  text, safari,
notes, etc) and the app crashes to the springboard.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Hoping like crazy to see a 5 row QWERTY layout!  I am forced to the
springboard.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system
(iPhone/iPod Touch? Firmware version?)?
I have tested this on three 2g iphones w/ 2.1 firmware, all with the same
results.

Please provide any additional information below.
I have tried cydia install version 1.6 and .deb install of 1.7

I will upgrade one phone to 2.2 and 2.2.1 to see if this is the cause.

will provide any requested logs or files.  This is a MUST have app for me,
and LONG on my wishlist.

I don't think it's related to firmware version. Anyway I'm looking forward to your
report.

For logs, please perform the following steps:
 (1) ssh into your iPhone, navigate to the folder /var/mobile/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
 (2) Open Notes, or any other applications that has a keyboard.
 (3) Make it crash again.
 (4) Copy the LatestCrash-MobileNotes.plist file and attach it here.

Thanks!

Still on version .1-7 iKeyEx and 5RowQWERTY.  It does not appear to create a
LatestCrash-(appname).plist file.  I have no crash log at all for MobileNotes, and
the crash logs for safari, Sms, etc are weeks old.  I am in the folder
/var/mobile/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/

When toggling to the 5RowQWERTY in each of these apps, no changes appear to occur to
the crash logs, and no new logs are generated.  

Basically, it does not appear to be "crashing" the app... merely "closing" it? 

Happy to provide any data you require, and looking forward to utilizing this. 
Incidentally, installing (via Cydia) on a 3G, 2.2 iPhone (at&t), went without
incident and works tantalizingly well!

@3:
Can you install syslogd in Cydia, then repeat the steps i've 
mentioned in @2, but attach /var/log/syslog instead?
Comment 5 by ogbertus, Feb 28, 2009
opened sms, closed it, opened Notes, press the globe, crash.  Syslog file attached
(of this sequence).

"No input manager class for input mode: en_US" shows up often, and a crash report
this time.  I hope it tells the tale.

Looks like really a firmware problem.

2.1 does not respond to the message -[UIKeyboardSublayout setIsShiftKeyPlaneChooser:]
but 2.2 does. I know what to fix now :)
Comment 7 by kennytm, Mar 01, 2009
I have uploaded 0.1-8. Please check if that solves your problem.
Comment 8 by ogbertus, Mar 01, 2009
Updated to 0.1-8 and no crash!  Excellent work, Friend! I am putting things through
their paces now and will advise if any further issue.  Thank you Thank you!

I am happily using the software and typing the way we should have been able to from
the start!  But now, text on the lockscreen for incoming call info and text/sms
previews are all jumbled up and illegible (sometimes the date/time text also).  The
call logs, contacts, and SMS themselves are just fine.... just the previews.  This
also seems to affect SBSETTINGS, garbling the icon text labels (ex:  bluetooth now
reads 'luctooth", Edge is now "G", Wifi is now "ii"  (and here, the text is
consistently scrambled... Wifi always scrambles to ii, etc).  It often appears that
text is overlayed onto itself, folded, or mirrored.  A reboot sets things straight,
but typically the next incoming call or text will garble things up again.  I am not
convinced that this is iKeyEx related, but the timing is there as it occurred only
after my initial install of 0.1.7. (after uninstalling 0.1.6) and has continued after
upgrade to 0.1.8....oh, and it deals with text/langs!
Your insight and direction is appreciated... I am already thankful for the firmware
accomodations you made for 2.1, and hesitate to bother you again.
I am using stock SMS, but also recently uninstalled quicksms during the
troubleshooting of iKeyEx.

@9:

Can you verify if that continues to affect text drawing when 
iKeyEx is uninstalled? BTW, please upload a screenshot also. 
Comment 11 by ogbertus, Mar 02, 2009
*shudders at the thought of uninstalling a bad-ass keyboard!!*

Screenshots of the lockscreen was an adventure!  Two files attached:  The incoming
call should read "MG Office (main)"; The SBSettings screen is an eyeful... but notice
that my Edge Icon label is now " ", instead of previously "G".

As I am uninstalling (through Cydia) iKeyEx 0.1-8, I am intrigued to note the last
line of the instaler screen:  After "removing hk.kennytm.5RowQWERTY" and "removing
hk.kennytm.iKeyEx.....", the last line reads:  "Setting up sbsettings (1.0.7-5)....
looks like a clue!  (*grins* included a screenshot though)).  Restarting Springboard
now....

Well, Garbled text corrected... previews for text, incoming calls, and time/date, as
well as SBSettings are good.  BUT no 5ROWQWERTY!  noooooo!  

Power Off.  Clean reboot.  Still no Garbling.  I am reinstalling 0.1-8 iKeyEx and
0.1-8 5ROWQWERTY via Terminal (I noticed a 0.1-8 5ROW .deb available now.... will try
that one).

I have finished reinstall for both 0-.1-8 iKeyEX and 5RowQWERTY.  A respring and a
reboot later, the symptoms have not yet reoccurred!  Maybe 0.1-8 5Row did the trick!
 I will advise if any changes.  
Comment 13 by kennytm, Mar 02, 2009
Hmm, I assume that's solved then. 0.1-8 only changed the preferences. 

In fact iKeyEx has never overridden any string drawing functions so I doubt if that's
really related to iKeyEx. Probably it's the "Setting up sbsettings (1.0.7-5)" thing
does the trick. (iKeyEx is independent from sbsettings).
Comment 14 by kennytm, Mar 04, 2009
If there's another crashing bug, please open another issue. I'll close this now.
