Ok, I have searched high and low, and found nothing, I want my good old android stock keyboard in gingerbread. I have found a hundred ways of putting the gb one on everything, even a psp, but not the other way around. Can someone build an apk, or a zip to do this? I am having such trouble getting use to the gb keyboard.
So, im asking for the old default androind keyboard in the new 2.3.X
Thank you
I'm not understanding. Stock is there for me. Imputed method>gingerbread. Keyboard=stock

I think he means the keyboard that was in 2.1 (or 2.2).
Correct me if I'm wrong OP.
Yes, the one on 2.1 and 2.2. I hate this gb one, space bar is so small!

I'm thinking you could always pull it out of the 2.2 Froyo ROM zip that is around here.
Should be in system/app (I think).
You can use 7zip to pull it directly as a zip instead of unzziping, getting it and rezipping.
Once you got it, just put it on your sd card and install.
I can't promise it will work cause the framework is different on GB ROMs but it's worth a try. The worse you'll get is a "Can't install error".
Oh, I got it. And it even installs. But I don't know where it goes, Or where supposed to go in gb. Cause it didn't show up in the settings section.

It should install in system/app
I believe you should be able to change it under settings -> local and text.
It's trying to put files in /meta-inf, system/app and system/ lib. it says its installing, but i show no evidence of it.

Que?
what is trying to put files where?
meta-inf is in cwm zip files, it's the flashing instructions for cwm? There is no folder on the phone called that.
I'm confused
Lets start over shall we,
What you have to do is open the zip, either unzip with native windows tools or just open the archive in 7zip. Take out the keyboard apk you want out of /system/app and the corresponding lib file in /system/lib. Put those in the same folders on the phone, either push them with adb or drop them in with root explorer, and reboot.
Still no guarantee it'll quirk on gingerbread though...
The above mentioned directory is the folders in the zip file that when opened it will write to on extraction. On earlier roms, 2.2.x, i flashed it via cw as an update.zip. Apparently this doesn't work with 2.3.x. Do i have a file that is really old?

I have a framework-res.apk to give me battery % on the top bar, but im not sure how to install it... Can someone help please?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
use Astro File Manager and open it. you should be at /sdcard. then press "UP" and you should be at / now.
all in all. navigate to /system/framework and replace the framwork-res.apk file.
do backup your original apk file incase things don't work out.
Right I tried that, with Astro I can't copy files to root directories (above /sdcard/) I tried EStrongs file manager and it says it can't be copied... Is there any reason it won't work?
Or is there another way of doing this?
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
hmm weird. it worked for me, judging from your signature you're rooted so... i have no idea. paid solutions like root explorer and all, or adb. isn't the battery modification done via an update.zip now? it's easier and way automated.
Yeah it's rooted and it had worked before but when this method didn't work again I thought I was doing it wrong.
I'll have a look for the thread again when I'm home and see what it says and if there's an update.zip.
Thanks for the help
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
definitely an update.zip method now. i've applied it yesterday lol no problem.
here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419
Damn you're good, thats the exact thread
Well I'm glad it's done by update.zip haha.

Is there a way to manually transfer swype application together with the database, dictionaries, etc from one ROM to another?
I would like to upgrade to a JPY based ROM, but I don't want to lose swype installed in my current ROM. It has the languages I need as well as a proper RTL support.
I tried backing up swype with MyBackup Pro, then restoring it on JPY ROM. It didn't work, apparently.
Thanks!
No takers?
Does anybody know if it's even possible? Could save me a lot of time copying files and flashing back and forth if I knew ahead that it just can't be done.
Thanks!

I too would love to know.

Yes but you have to either replace the files in the Rom zip or move the files manually after flashing. You dont install swipe, you just use adb or file manager to move files to correct locations.

Yeah, I tried that, but it didn't work for me. Either I missed some of the necessary files, or there some compatibility/dependence issues. I'd like to know if it's the former or the latter...
Gingerbread.GPS.zip
This is a flash for the GPS files pulled from the new XWJV1 Gingerbread I9000 Leak.
Rather a mix of GB GPS and Vibrant GPS.
Wipes Dalvik so it will take a minute longer to reboot after flashing it.
This took a little longer for me to lock indoors but I was still able to get 6 meters accuracy with 6 of 12 birds locked.

S.gps.zip
AKA Super GPS
This is the one you want to try!
Flash on 2.2.1 and under.

Well, first off, you will be the first person to try these files on cm7 - that I know of.
Secondly, unzip the file and place the files on your sdcard and use root explorer to copy and paste them in to their respective folders using the folder structure I have them in as your guide.

that's what i was figuring, but i don't see a meta-inf folder.
Which folder do we push them in?
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA App
Waiting on CM7 feedback from this as well.
I am trying on CM7. As a note, the /data/gps/ folder has some completely different looking files in there than the secgps.conf. /system/bin/ also did not contain agpsd, but /system/etc/ did contain gps.conf. I do not know what any of that means specifically.
3+ minutes so far in GPSTest (indoors), and it does not even pretend to be sniffing a satellite.
Works beautifully on Darkys 9.3.

There's a few items that I need to install seperately every time I flash a rom. Is there a simple way to make a workable .zip or is it complex?
What I need to install each time:
Battery mod
Voice dialer
Keyboard
The batmod and keyboard are currently in zip files, so I was wondering if I could merge these easily. The only voice dialer apk I have requires me to manually place it in the correct folder with r/w access.

while i don't have a direct answer to your question.. you can reboot recovery in the CWM menu.. so you still install only one item at a time, but its much quicker than rebooting the phone completely, then going back into recovery.
Just a little tip if you didn't know
Just take all three files in your seperate zips, and throw them in the rom zip in their respective folders ... Flash.
BAM ONE STOP SHOPPING!!!
SUPER SIMPLE!
You're welcome.
if you want to make your own cwm update, it is not difficult, just check the script in META-INF\com\google\android folder.

Well thee battery mods are in a framework-res.apk that is overwritten, so thatwouldn't make a difference, and I've never had issues just dropping apps in /data/app or /system/app. It just flashes the whole folder it doesn't have instructions for every single app.

Yup, that will give you an example of what the script should look like...
I was wondering how I could edit the framework-res.apk (it can be found in the /system/framework directory) file and not brick my phone, I've tried putting a modified version
in a signed zip file that was supposed to be for that very purpose, a stock update.zip for getting rc29 to 1.5(and yes, I did flash my phone back to rc29) and I recently tried to just take a file manager in root mode and copy-paste-overwrite, but I just soft-bricked my phone halfway into the process, probably because it was still mounted
P.S. I did mount the /system directory as rw
my phone:htc dream,no 2g-3g contract(wifi only),rooted (universal androot),stock 1.6 drc83(but I can get it to rc29,1.5 and crc43; at least I think thats the name of the second update),stock recovery,superuser elite+superuser- latest, su binary- latest, busybox- latest binary, and about 5000 scratches.
--edit-- can also get cyanogen recovery,and root through cm 4.1.99, and cm4.2.15.1.
So is your goal to root your g1? Have you followed any guides to root? Can you give just a bit more detail of end goal and a bit confused about what os you are currently running. Also its nice to get all info from bootloader screen

I've actually already got cyanogenmod 4.2.15 on it so rooting isn't really an issue right now.
What I really want to do is theme my phone, because I really like the ICS buttons and black statusbar - but I want to wait until I'm more experienced
before I try to port cm7 to the g1 (as far as I know, cm7 is the first cyanogenmod to support themes).
P.S. since this is being sent from my g1 - I can't currently post my bootloader info; but I will as soon as I can.
Also. I want to know how I can sign the framework-res.apk after changing it to my satisfaction.
Sorry, reading my last post (although 2months old) I must have been trying to reply to someone else
You don't need to sign the framework-res
Just decompile with apktool, make changes, recompile (make sure to add the metainf and manifest from original back in) then you can create a flashable.zip to flash it and chmod, or add it to a ROM and sign the ROM or use adb when in recovery to push it and change permissions

How would I sign the rom if I put it in one?
Apktool gives me errors when I try to recompile.
Ninjamorph from the market makes the changes, but they don't take hold.
P.S. perfect timing with the reply, as I posted my reply only about 45 min. ago!
If there are errors recompiling write those down and I'll take a look, as for as signing the ROM there are many ways, I use signapk for windows and one that amonra made for Linux, just Google search sign ROM android and you'll find many ways

Is there any posibility that I could just send you the rom I want to mod & a zipped folder containing a modified framework-res, and have you recompile/sign it? I just don't want to brick my phone. Thanks in advance!
If its a ROM for the g1 I already have it, how about just sending me your modded apk along with a link to the ROM and I'll make you a flashable.zip to install
And FYI, this isn't something that could brick your phone, recovery wouldn't be effected so worst scenario is you would end up in a bootloop

The rom is cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 and I can't quite remember the link, but I'll post a zip with the frmwrk-rs and my email. Thanks in advance for the help!!

Thanks! Once you've signed/recompiled it, send the rom to me as a google drive/google docs file at [email protected] (or, if you know another better method, tell me) and I'll test it.
ok so finally got to a pc,
here you go
havent tested it at all, it recompiled but there was an issues with

and

they were skipped but the rom should flash and whatever mods you made should be present other that this, dont have time to peek around and see what you did

Does the ROM flash for you with you current setup before the edited framework-res? What I mean, if you were to flash the update-cm4.... (Whatever the name) right now it flashes correct? With your current SPL, radio, and recovery. The only thing I did was recompile your framework-res, swap it with the one from the ROM you mentioned, rezipped and signed the ROM
I can't think of any edits you could have made to framework-res that wouldn't allow you to at least flash the ROM, may get stuck in a boot loop or never boot, but the ROM should flash

I looked inside the rom you sent me, and I didn't recognize any of it.
this is a link to the rom I got the framework-res from:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogen-u...pdate-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip&can=1&q=4.2.15.1
from what I saw, the one you sent me looks more like a flash image than an update.zip,
if you look inside the one that I was talking about, it looks more like an ota, and I can flash it in cyanogen+jf 1.4 recovery which I got
from the flashrec app (not on google play anymore, from internet only).
I don't know if an unmodified version of the rom you sent me would flash, but the one you sent me seems to have problems in general.
No errors that would point specifically to the framework-res are appearing.
Here are the files that I modified: View attachment 2212696, decompile your own framework and paste/overwrite the contents over the contents of the res\drawable directory in the framework-res.apk.

This rom that you gave me is about 10mb larger than the one I use, and takes 30 seconds to load in recovery and freezes everything momentarily.

yeah same rom, even checked SHA1 to make sure (with the ROM before i added your framework-res)
which is 1604kb compared with 5589kb of the original. so whatever was changed is what wont allow it to work
can you just quick go over how you decompiled and what changes you made, i know you linked something and ill look at it but i dont have a ton of time to dig right now so a brief overview would be nice
