Hello,
is it possible to use the old Swype from Eclair on JP6? I tried getting the Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so, but the language list is empty and Swype produeces a warning saying that it is configured for a different device and that it will have limited functionality.
Any workarounds?
I remember doing it for JPH, but I must be doing something wrong this time.

What android component is responsible for displaying characters on the phone?
In case my question is not clear, please read on the following details:
I'm new to rom cooking and android development. I have a rooted HTC Legend with su access based on Eclair 2.1. I mostly communicate in english, but since I'm an arabic native speaker, I need to read emails, sms, and docs that I recieve in arabic on my phone.
After many trial and error attempts, I combined the core rom from the official arabic rom for legend (has no market or super user), added the market + su + rom manager + other stuff from different roms, signed it and installed the resulting rom on my phone and it works just fine.
Now with the release of froyo for the legend, I was thinking about using any rooted WWE rom and adding arabic to it (which I couldn't achieve on 2.1). It doesn't involve the installed fonts only, but there's something else responsible for displaying characters in android, the displayed arabic characters should be connected to be easily readable, and if I changed the fonts only, the characters will be displayed separated and backwards (Arabic is a RTL language).
A small program is available in the market and requires no su access to work, it can display connected arabic characters on any rom of any android version but only for sms messages. I think it's possible to do it system wide, but I need to know what android component responsible for displaying characters on the phone?
Your input are much appreciated. Thanks
Hello I am trying to install the froyo swype into JPK. Copied over the files (Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so) to /system/app and system/lib. It starts ok but i get limited functionality (no languages available).
Does anyone know if it is possible to make a Froyo Swype work in Gingerbread?
Hi all,
Does anyone knows what are the apks, lib, data etc for the Input functions (copy paste etc) in Gingerbread 2.3.3, DXJV9? And could you please post them here. Or an update.zip in CWM?
I would like to overwrite them to see if it can be restored to default.
Recently flashed a custom ROM and have an issue. When I use the input function (entering text etc) and click on the pointer, it only shows a partial view of the image (with the words "Select text, select All, Cut, Copy, Paste etc", totally hidden below the pop-up. It is like a new image overlay on top of the old.
I am on DXJV9, Gingerbread 2.3.3. I flashed chebon v1.3 without this issue (but I like to have the extended Power down menu)
I flashed erobot ROM v2.1 DXJV9 and Jose galaxy ROM DXJV9(based on erobot ROM) which caused this issue so I think there is a way to restore to the default but I cannot figure out what are the apks doing the input functions.
Thank you.
No one can help? I am sure the modders will know. Please advise.
I was told by another member that this issue might lies in the "framework-res.apk". So I am planning to replace it with a stock original.
Do I have to get specifically the DXJV9 version (My ROM is based on it) or any firmware version will do?
Would it have any problems since I am using a custom ROM?.
I have no idea what framework-res.apk does.
Please see attached for my error and see if you can advise.
Thanks!
Hi,
I installed Nameless ROM and I love it. However, I'd like to reinstall some apk from my stock rom backup, namely HTC_IME.apk and IMEXT9French.apk, which are french canadian HTC keyboard and system locale. I tried every way to install these. Copying to system/app, install from sdcard, from adb shell. Nothing works. I thought it might be because these utilize odex files and nameless don't. So I tried deodexing using xUltimate, but this too fails.
Any idea how I might fix this??
Thanks.
Did you try installing the apk with the default package installer
and what do you mean "Nothing works", does it not show in manage apps or the keyboard
I don't have the original apk installer because it came preinstalled on the phone.
By nothing works I mean that the french canada locale does not show under language and keyboard. Also the HTC keyboard in french is azerty whereas a french canada keyboard is supposed to be qwerty.
I know I can bypass this by installing another keyboard, but I liked the HTC one and I made a point to resolve this issue just for the sake of it and as a way to learn how all this apk and android stuff works.
I've finally been able to deodex the fils manually, but still not working. When I run the apk and choose install, I get an error message "not installed".
I guess there might be some dependant files that need to be present in the Framework folder or maybe elsewhere?
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Is it just the stock Canadian keyboard your looking for? If so let me know and I'll pull the apk and post it for you.
In the future Titanium Backup may be useful to you, it's saved my butt plenty of times.
You should be able to get away with unzipping this archive and copying the two files I've included to system/app/ then restarting the device.
Let me know if that works.
Thank, I will try that. I already tried copying these two files from my stock backup, but that was not successful. I'll see if it's different with yours. I'll let you know what the result is.
awful eourchas
I'm still getting the f$%?" ASZERTY keyboard whenever I switch to french. I found that I can keep the English keyboard and turn on the second language autocorrect for french, which is working but not ideal.
I will take a look at Titanium Backup and see if I can come up with something.
Yeah, I would try restoring with Titanium Backup, later tonight I can send you a TiBa file. Did the French keyboard use the qwerty layout when you were on stock? My girlfriend uses an Optimus l7 and her stock keyboard had two layouts, t9 and qwertz which was extremely annoying and hard to use.
Also, maybe it's worth while to look into another keyboard, I switched to SwiftKey and find its way more functional than stock. I don't find it is slow like I remember from over a year ago on my x10.
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda premium
Yes my stock had a french qwerty keyboard.
I'll take a look at Swift Key. I had installed GoKeyboard but did not like it cause it takes way too much screen estate.

I can't see it. What's the actual name of the Installer?
Hi,
I found a topic which helped people to get their original stock rom swype back in their custom rom.
I tried the same but it didn't work for me. One part of the process is checking in build.prop that the ro.product.brand is the same in the original stock rom and in the custom rom. Which is so for my custom rom and the stock rom i've downloaded.
However, I saw that the build.prop from the stock rom uses GT-S5830 as type for the other lines like:
ro.product.model=GT-S5830
ro.product.name=GT-S5830
ro.product.device=GT-S5830
ro.product.board=GT-S5830
and that my custom rom has cooper there instead of GT-S5830. I added the lines above to my build.prop, hoping that this would solve the issue.
Unfortenately, it doesn't. When I select swype, there's no language available. I've checked in the apk file and alle the language files are there so it seems that swype blocks usage of it.
When I select swype, I get this message:
"the swype package you installed is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality."
I'm using cm 7.2. the ultimate and extracted swype from this sammobile stock rom:
S5830XWKTQ_S5830VITKT2_S5830XWKT8_HOME
Can someone tell me/help me with isolating the problem? Why does swype still not recognise my device as GT-S5830?

Install it from Google Play Store, you also can try Swiftkey

installing from google play (or even amazon app store) would be an option when they would add PayPal support to pay for the app.
As long as I need to have a credit card, I cannot buy anything from Google Play or Amazon App store.
Therefore, I am hoping there is a solution for the difference in the build.prop file...
perhaps to include it in the zip file from the custom rom, but Im affraid the problem persists as the build.prop is still different.
I still hope the builde of this rom can send me his stock swype and libswypecore.so files...
Or is there another solution for this? (adjusting build.prop and inserting the lines with GT-S5830 was not one)
