you can find insimde my rom MIUIcy

turn off verification in recovery, or jus adb push them in the phone

Here's the one I used, it worked fine for me

I like that new keyboard. Very nice.
Just vibrates WAY too harshly.
I hacked the eclaire keyboard to give it just a little "tick". It was much nicer that way. I will end up having to do that again with this one.
@OP: The step you are missing is probably replacing the file /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so

sorry for thread hijack, but is this based off the new system they have for spelling and misstyping like in the demo video i saw for gingerbread?
would like to see this in better keyboard too tbh as i use that alot due to swype actions for it.

TouchPal in Market!

I got this app from the market today. It actually works rather well, and there is no force closing that i have experienced so far. I have tried it with dict on and off and all 3 keyboard styles. One thing i do like about it over the hero keyboard is the difference in the haptic feedback.... the hero one has a strong vibration and the touchpal has a sort of softer one that is just enough to let you know your touch registers... anyone else tried it out? I know the touchpal keyboard was in a few of the ROM releases and themed ROM releases, maybe you guys can delete that one and download this one to avoid the FC...
I just got it from the market, and I get a ton of FCs
Bummer, I can't even use it all.
i cant get it to install keeps saying package wasnt signed or some bull...
weird... let me pull it and see if i can post it here with the language pack...
I found it too laggy on my Hero
here is link for touchpal- http://sharebee.com/bb36265d
language pack- http://sharebee.com/2708b7f6
i downloaded it this morning and it has been working fine for me all day. hope this helps you guys
only thing i hate is that it keeps opening in landscape and i don't want to keep pressing shift+space over and over again to close it. Overall great VK though
i can't even install it...
i'm using Cyan's 3.6.8.1 ROM and I got a message "TouchPal could not be installed on this phone" while trying to install the main app...
Is there anybody who have met this?

Im on the same rom and not having any issues just make sure you download touchpal main first let it install then install the language pack wait until its done installing and give it a go. works like champ
ss1271 i dont know why it wont install for you. only diff ive done to my phn was a dark hero theme and changed the setting to where "tmo my account" works again.
Working for me on Cyanogen 3.9.8. Like the program, like to see what they do with Traditional Chinese pack.
Sounds like it'd be expensive though once it's no longer free.
Blah its nice but my sound still doesnt work?? and evertime its open theres an EN in the notification which annoys me. I love the swiping to use the symbols and numbers, they should make a swipe down across the entire keyboard makes it hide the keyboard. Also its messing with the HTC keyboard everytime i intsall this the settings on my HTC one reset and wont stick when i change them? Sticking with Touch/HTC_IME for now

If you were running the beta you must uninstall it. The new version will not install over the top.

thanks for ur reply.
I'm pretty sure that i've installed the MAIN first then the language pack...
and i've uninstalled (use app. management in settings) the beta version which embedded into the CM 3.6.8.1 long time ago...
but i still got a message saying that installing this program will replace another while trying to install the main app of touchpal v1.0 ...

yup
i uninstalled the beta version and then used "root explorer" to check if it has been completely deleted...
but failed again...
cant get it to stop force closing am i doing something wrong? WATAFAK? ok well is it better than better keyboard in all of your opinion?
Been using it on a stock G1 since the day it hit the market (used their winmo ver previously) and haven't had a single problem
For those with Problems installing it:
Deleting the .apk is not sufficient, you need to remove all occurences of libtouchpal also...
adb shell find / >files.txt
just search the file for "touchpal" and
adb shell rm
all findings
Had this problem with a version shipped with Palm Pre Theme (I think...)

My voice search FC's on boot please help!

hey guys running modaco 2.2, and my voice search FC's everytime I try to use it.

I think i figured it out Modaco doesn't support it in the rom I went over tried out Gumbo's I like it a bit better than modaco's cause it doesn't feel as stock as modacos. it is based on his . Maybe there's an apk to enable it floating around somewhere.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-htc-hero-roms/4361-hero-rom-gumbo-rom-project-beta.html
Ya that sounds right. It started as soon as I updated to 2.2. Hopefully there will be a fix or something soon.
use fresh's kitchen to clear both the boot and dalvik cache. voila, problem solved.

if you have voice search then you're missing the libspeech.so file in the lib folder, in system
go to you cmd and check to see if your libsppeech.so file is in there if not then push the file back in and reboot.
attached is two zip either push the file on your own or the sign zip put it in your sdk card and install in form recovery like you would to a rom.
good luck

DroidX Multi-touch keyboard Froyo

Hi;
You can find a working version of Droidx Multitouch keyboard for MT3G with Froyo at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021
And a flashable version at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7827701#post7827701
it works,thanks for the head's up
thanks, cant wait to try this out.
flashable installed correctly but kept getting an fc every time i tried to use the kb.
@pjdpinheiro, please list your steps
thanks
nm, I got it to work. i ssh'ed the files over to the device but permissions weren't set correcty on the 2 files which fc every time i tried to type. then tried to installed with flashable but it kept the same perms. corrected perms on the files and reboot, went to keyboard setting and adjusted lang and chose multi touch. all works well.

use adb.. the link has instructions on what to do
curious
This is my new favorite keyboard, but I wonder: is there a way to better calibrate it? something like the clicker apk for htc soft kb perhaps?
great stuff. works as expected thanks. I flashed with AmonRa's 1.7 recovery, not a single FC so far. shift+letter works so multitouch is on (right?)
To apply the Flashed version, do i have to be rooted? I keep trying to root this thing but im not having any luck. I have the OTA 2.2 update running old Mytouch 3g.
nice keyboard and everything, but i cannot switch to default or any other keyboard for that matter. Constantly FCing. Any ideas on how to uninstall?

[Q] Froyo Users

So Ermm... Anyone tried to install Galaxy Tab stuff into your phones?
I managed to install Touchwiz launcher from Tab into Firmware DXJP1 And we have landscape and port Rotation working... It Faster compared to standard Firmware.. And there does not seem to have Lag at the moment with 20 Installed apps..
How i did it?
I Flashed DXJP1(2.2) Which was a DE-Odex ROM by Default..
Look the TouchwizLauncher copy and replaced it in /system/app/
And Reboot...
Done.
ENSURE YOU BACKUP YOUR TOUCHWIZLAUNCHER BERFORE ATTEMPTING AND IT IS GOOD TO HAVE ANOTHER LAUNCHER INSTALLED AND HOME SET WITHOUT ANY DEFAULT SET JUST INCASE TOUCHWIZ FAILS
Not sure on Untouched ROMs with Odex files tho, The APK given to me was not with any Odex too... :S Uploaded it anyway
This is Development not Q&A... your gonna get flamed..

Ah crap ... Just noticed >.< Need a Mod to move this >.<
deathst, maybe you could post here a guide about how you managed to do that. Accordign to what it has been posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805149 it looks like 2.2 on Tab is much better than JPK.
Hope it will eb the same for the official froyo firmware of SGS...

That is good news. I hope Samsung replaces the FS to ext4 or something better than RFS and fixes the GPS issues some of us are having.
Posted a How i did it along with the APK if anyone wants it... I tried Afew more APK, Seems that we can import almost all the APK from Tab into Our galaxy, Wonder if it would be hard to import the whole rom
Besides Samsung Gave us the Sources of the Galaxy Tab not long ago @
http://opensource.samsung.com/
can anyone comfirm whether this is working on jpk?
I would like to know if it works on jpk thanks again
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It doesn`t work on JPK, deodexed.
Don't work on JPK too. Nice black screen
Luckily I had Launcher Pro Installed, it spared me from re-flasing.
thanks deathst.
I tried to replace that apk file with root explorer and the system got frozen while it was pastign the file to system/app. I switched off the device, then switched it on, unlocked the screen sliding my finger from side to side and I see that I dont have anything. I only see the battery and hour icons. The bar on top to activate/deactive wireless, bluetooth, gps and thats all.
cache wipe didn't solved it
How can I have my phone working again normally?
thanks

same here! how to solve it?? I replaced the file with root explorer and the phone got frozeen during the paste process, so I switched on/off the phone and now I only see the battery and signal icons and the rest is whole black screen
If the debug mode is on, you can replace your backup of the file :
adb shell
& su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
# rm /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
# cp /sdcard/YourBackupPlace/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
You mean usb debug mode right? I think it was disabled, at least I didn't touch anything about it...
I'm installing android sdk now to check if adb can work, but as I said I think debug mode was disabled...
Any other tip? Re-flashing the firmware wouldn't solve the issue? I would lost all my installed apps, but it's better than lost the phone...
PS: I have access to recovery and download modes.
reflashing would certainly solve it... and can really not understand how people just do stuff without making sure they have a way to reverse it... and then complain about data loss.. especially since this was not confirmed to work by anyone..
I agree with fAtaXe...
(You can trying to make an update.zip too :/ ...)
What about JIT files? can it be imported from the tab's firmware???
Thanks. I solved the problem re-flashing the firmware. Fortunately I had access to the task manager (pressing for few seconds the central button) so I could take note of the apps that were installed in the phone
I know it was my responsability and I didn't complain to deathst , samsung or anyone else because of that.
My phone is less than 2 weeks old so it seems obvious that maybe I didn't have enough experience to do that, but I read that the trick was working for deathst and I thought that Tab is using 2.2 so I imagined it also would work on my SGS with JPK.
I assumed the risk and tried it. Is that really a bad thing? I don't think so, specially because I didn't blame on anyone, I know it was my mistake. At least I learned that I should enable debug mode before doign that kind of operations, lol
Sad to Hear it does not work for JPK :S Strangly i have no idea why.. The Galaxy Tab Source i got are also Deodex and my DXJP1 is also Deoxed :S Weird indeed...
I'm sorry if i forced your phones to reflash... I did not expect it to fail on 2.2 ROM :S Truely i'm sorry about that...

[Q] Custom Rom Help

Hi folks,
I’m looking at trying to make a custom rom for myself and learning along the way. I’ve read a couple of tuts on here which have been very good reading. I have a couple of questions that I hope someone would be able to help me with.
I plan to use Myth2 as my base rom, which seems to be the best rom out of the custom roms that I have tried. I wanted to have a stock base rather than a CM7 base.
I want to use the same launcher and keyboard that’s in Acopalypse, also I want to remove the following apps:- email/Radio/gmail/latitude/local/maps/memo/navigation/news/search/talk/youtube
As far as I know, I would need to do the following:
1)Extract Myth2 rom onto my computer.
2)Delete the aps that I mentioned above in the system/app directory.
3)Add the apps that I want in system/app directory.
4)Zip up the new rom
5)Get the rom ‘signed’
6)Install on my phone
Would the above work ok?
I’ve looked for the keyboard app in Acopalyse, but not able to find. Can anyone tell me where it is in the rom and if I can swap the keyboard in Myth2?
Thanks
EWF

I think the keyboard is LatinIME.apk
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
That would work, sometimes the apks are not there when you boot the rom for the first time, then you should just reboot...I usualy install the rom then the stuff I wanna add make a system dump copy to my pc and then edit from there to avoid errors
excellent! Thanks for the replies. I only have one phone and did not want to brick it, even tho I can fix it by flashing with odin.
Will let you know the result, once its done.
Thanks gain.

^^^^^^^^
For now while your still new don't touch the boot.img and META-INF folder and file.....IF you only mod system folder (Almost everything you can mod at the moment are in there) then the worst is a soft brick which can easily be fixed
My first go went pretty well. I swapped the keyboard from Acopalyse and replaced the keyboard in Myth2. I installed the rom, and only got one error. The keyboard was not working and always force closed.
So, I went back to the other keyboard, reziped and signed it, then flashed it, and it worked perfect. Removed all the apps I wanted to remove apart from one I forgot (silly me) and added the ones I wanted.
The only problem, maybe a problem. I installed FB, but it installed on the internal memory and not on the SD card. but other aps like opera and di.fm app went to the SD card. Not sure if its a FB problem or a apps2sd problem.
Will make a coffee and think about what I can add/remove/change for the next time.
Thanks for your reply
EFW
