I just wanted to install latin IME just because I like it more
I tried pushing libjni_latinime.so into /system/lib/ and
LatinIME.apk/UserDictionaryProvider.apk to /data/app_s
but it doesnt even show up in the locale & text settings
I have tried few times app_s and even system/app, however it gives an error.
If you don't mind not having sound or heptic feed back, you can download from market called Kandroid. It will have an appearce of latin ime minus the heptic feedback and spell.

Ok so I uninstalled the swype using titanium backup, then download the newer version from here:
getandroidstuff.com/2010/08/swype-keyboard-in-19-languages-for.html
Then using both the default file manager and astro to install but even after the uninstallation and a reboot and I cant seem to see swype anywhere in the phones installed app list, it still say "Replace application, the app you are installing will replace another app" How can it replace something that isnt there. And after the installation is done, it said "application not installed". There is no swype under my "text and locale" setting either. tried both the HVGA and WVGA version, same thing. Any idea? :/

Swype is a system app, it can't be removed so easily. You have to remove /system/app/Swype.apk, then remove /data/data/com.android.inputmethod.swype (if it's there, maybe titanium removes it) .
Then you copy your downloaded apk to /system/app renamed to Swype.apk and only then try to install it, from the downloaded folder.
ok thanks, I just needed to change the name of the file to simply swype.apk for it to work
we need a better way than FW updates to update Swype and a very manual process, am I missing something?
I followed the instructions given above, tried with both of the swype versions mentioned above and a newer version (Swype_v2_6_47_11856).
The installation goes without any problems, however once I select swype as input method it goes haywire and needs to be force closed every 10 seconds.
I'm using Android 2.2 (Froyo)
Do I need to use a different method to install Swype?
And which version of swype might be best to use?
I wanted to install it because Swype does come with a Russian alphabet version.
titanium backup will let you integrate any new version of Apps that is already installed in ROM back into the ROM
Cool, thanks !!
One snag though, I deleted the old version of swype like explained in the second message.....how can I fix that first?
the newer swype version will make a forced close after boot because u did not cut the libswype.so (or st like that) from your /system/lib/ folder when you removed your stock swype version. I had the same problem before and solved it by just removing that file by cutting and pasting it into another folder for backup.
You have to remove system/lib/libswypecore.so
After that, just push the new swype.apk to /system/app
and then push the new libswypecore.so to /system/lib
Edit: Or flash with CWM ;D
Assistance required please:
I deleted the original Swype and then have downloaded WVGA 2.10.52.13753. I've deleted /system//lib/libswypecore and then run the SWYPE SVGA 2.10.XXXX.apk.
When I then try to use it I get the message "The application Swype (process com.swype.android.input mehod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
After switching teh phone off and back on, I still get this continuously.
I am running my SGS on 2.2 which is Froyo .XXJPO with root and OCLF. What am I missing?
I also note that niXXoz talks about pusing, what is this? I've tried copy and paste but when I get up to the lib and app level the paste option disappears. Could be completely inconsequential but thought I'd ask.
Really look forward to any help that you can lend.
Thanks
Hi all,
I tried to install multiple keyboards on my rogers Captivate, none of them worked. This is fine, I was just experimenting BUT I have a problem. I installed LatinIme as an apk and it shows up as an option in 'locale and text' (under settings). However, every time I select it it crashes and force closes. This is well enough, the question now is how do I remove it? It does not show up in Fast Uninstaller and I can't find it anywhere in my apps to uninstall it.
Thanks!
if you have root explorer, go to \system\app folder and delete the apk.
also when you go to the settings->applications->manage applications, is it in the "all" tab?
OK. So I was getting bored with the gray icons in the settings menu so I decided to change them up. First thing that came to mind was the TouchWiz icons, so I pulled the icons from there to use in CM.
So this is for CM7 only and to install just push the apk to /system/app/
To install through adb type:
adb remount
adb push "Drag file here" /system/app/Settings.apk
OR with root explorer:
1. Copy the apk to your sdcard
2. With root explorer move the apk to /system/app/
Hope you enjoy (its my first real upload, and its not much)
Ohhh and I'm not responsible for anyone bricking theirs phones or who need a wipe because of this, although I don't really see how that is possible... lol
Something is wrong with the display button in settings. It force closes once you hit brightness.
Hmmm... let me look into it...
works great in my lg gt540 ! But don't forget to reboot your phone.
Maybe I'm missing something but I did what u said but it bricked my phone. I used root explorer to put the apk in system/app and it copied over the stock system.apk, rebooted and the phone was bricked.
I was able to reflash in recovery and the phone is fine now but I tried a bunch of other ways and I can't install the touchwiz settings... What am I doing wrong?
Sent from my HTC Vision with CM7-RC4
I got it to work finally.
I copied the apk over the stock apk with Root Explorer, mounted R/W, changed the persmisions for the new settings apk (i allowed all), mounted R/O, rebooted and it worked.
Thanks the colored settings are really awesome!!!

Did you try using Swype Installer?
Uninstalling swype generally goes this way:
with some explorer able of browsing root:
- dig into system/app and delete swype.apk
- dig into system/lib and delete libswype (and anything with swype in the name)
Go to http://beta.swype.com/ and register or login. Follow the instructions, it will envolve opening a link in your phone, downloading swype installer, picking the correct version of swype for you and let it work it's magic. You'll have swype installed by the end of it. Some kind of fast wireless access on your phone is very recomended.
Whenever i had swype installing problems, the trick was always deleting libswype files before trying a new install.
The only thing against this method is that you'll get the latest swype available. Which i believe it works far worse than the older ones available in any smasung stock rom (for my language, at least)
swype install
thats the 1 mate, we got it working, superb

Hi I just took out the apk for go sms then changed the android smileys in 7-zip on windows, I changed the icons to 24 x 24 pixels png files. Then put the apk back on my phone, into data/app on my phone memory. It copies fine changed the permissions, but the app won't run, I even tried installing the apk, but it says application not installed after trying. What am I doing wrong?
sorry figured it out, had to change the owner of the app in root explorer for it to work :-D
Sir, howd you change owner? what should i choose? ive tried to change but it says it cant change.. i wanted to replace go sms icon.
