It is if you know what you are doing.
Back up before you play with it.

So do I have any way to view/extract a SQL DB from the phone? I can view the DB using a SQL editor/viewer on the phone for Workout Assist but the Export Data function isn't working from the app. The file that it creates isn't a known file type. If I could get the raw data, I could import it into SQL and write the query myself to pull the data I need but I can't figure out how to get the darn data off the phone.
Thanks
Like copying to the sdcard or what exactly?

why not back up the database, preferences etc (files)?

How can I backup the DB and extract the file?
They are stored in /data/data/_package_name_/.
I still don't know what you mean, you said you can read the DB, which implies you know the location of the file.

Yes... But how can I GET the DB files to import into SQL? If I try and attach it to an e-mail from Root Explorer, it looks like it attaches, but nothing is sent?
Just copy it to /sdcard/...
adb
lots of other options.
That is the same question I asked you and you just said you needed the db file.

Ok... Sorry if I confused you. I got the file to my PC but it isn't readable by anything... Any ideas?
You can download sqlite3 for your pc and open the database with that.

Yep - thats what I did.... Had to export everything though to Access and query that way since SQLite doesn't export query results.
Thx

the db IS a file. Simply backup by copyin gthe .db file, and when you need to restore it, push it back.
so i pulled the LatinIME.apk from the most recent cyanogen nightly, and no there wasn't any problem beforehand with the keyboard.
so i decompiled the apk with apk manager and all i did was change to 9pngs and then i recompiled it, said it was a system app, signed it, and then pushed it.
when i reopened the keyboard, everything was fine except for this. is there a certain xml i need to edit?
thanks in advanced.
Use the keep option.
Only delete files u've modified, leave the rest to stock. It's been long since i last did it but that's wht it was if i recall.

If u choose the recompile option,
and say yes to system app. Then say yes to other than signature.
U'll find a keep folder in the root dir. There delete only the file u modified. Then continue in the script.

Yes it is if you know to make a cwm zip .or if you dont,download a cwm flashable mod and edit it for your work
Download 7 zip you can use it to edit files without unzipping. Use NotePad ++ to edit build.prop and pretty much anything else for that matter

You can use 7-Zip to add or remove file from the cwm zip. You can also edit the script (text) file in it.

Remember some of the apps have the associate library files. You need to load these files into the system/lib folder before the apps can run.
Auto install

Actually, i have to read about creating a cwm zip file. After that, i can maybe be able to make a zip to install whatever i have.
Thanks for your help...
(It was a bit easer in winmo times. You could just make a new folder with your cab files and after rom installation they could be installed)
Can anyone post the Build.prop for the Moto X, or at least the model, name, device?

I've attached the build.prop. It isn't actually a zip file, so just delete the .zip or open as a text file.

I am trying to modify the google keyboard xml file to make the height bigger. Can I do this without root?
I have tried to do "adb pull /data/data/com.google.android.inputmethod.latin/shared_prefs/com.google.android.inputmethod.latin_preferences.xml" but I get a permission denied..
All I need to do it edit this one line and I dont want to root just for that.. <string name="keyboard_height_ratio">1.0</string

No, you need to be rooted to access that file.
