[Q] want to skin MixZing...where is the .apk?!

hey guys. now that i've learned how to mod apps to match my liking, i wanted to mod the one app i use the most.
i can't seem to find where Mixzing's installation folder is? i've searched /data/app, /data/app-private, /system/app, /sdcard/data, /sdcard/Android...where do the .apks for these apps that aren't under /data/app go???
and which apk should i be editing, the basic .apk or the upgrade .apk? (i assume basic).
thanks

It's in data/app
Something like "com.developername.mixzing.apk".

i dont mean to be rude but did you read my first post? it's not in /data/app...

It's in data/app. Uninstall it, reinstall it and sort by date in root explorer if you're having trouble finding it.
I'll just save the trouble and post it for you

Unless you have A2SD it's in data/app.
Look better next time. It's there.

I use Apps 2 SD to move it to the SD card....so where in there?

I guess /sdcard/app or something along those lines.

just did that. uninstalled. reinstalled. went back to /data/app and it's not there. organized it by date and it's not there.
i have Move2SD enabler, so it's installing apps directly on the SD card. that's why I asked in the OP where else besides /data/app apps get installed.
i can use the .apk you posted, but when they update the app in the future i'll be in the same position. i need to find my own .apk

couldn't find where it was being stored in the /sdcard, so i just moved it back to the phone's memory and then got the .apk from /data/app.
here's my first skinning attempt. pretty much what i was going for. matches my black windows 7 look

guys i'm having an ISSUE...anyone know what's going on?
please read...
tried the regular method using .apk manager. if i unzip/edit/zip/sign and try to install, i get "Application not installed"...if i do unzip/edit/zip as system app (no signature) and try to install, same message. if i do unzip/edit/zip as regular app but dont sign it, same message. if i edit the file with 7Zip and try to install, also get the same message...
if i unzip/edit/zip/sign and try to copy/paste over the existing .apk in /data/app i get force closes when i try to open the app.
now, if i edit the .apk with 7-zip and i copy it over the existing .com.mixzing.basic-1.apk in /data/app then it works! the widgets work, the app works. all is well....until i reboot the phone. then i come back and the app wont launch, as if it wasn't there.
i go to /data/app/ the .apk is there, but it wont launch. if i try to install it from there, it also gives me "Application not installed"...interestingly enough, when i try to install it, it tells me it would overwrite an existing application. yet when i go to the Market, it shows as Mixzing NOT being installed and lets me install a new copy just fine.
if i install again from the market, and copy/paste my copy over it in /data/app, it works again...until I reboot...and the cycle repeats.
what am i doing wrong here?

How to install: Gingerbread keyboard

*FROYO ONLY*
NOTE: This may replace your current Android keyboard! Make a backup first if you want to revert!
1. Download the gingerbread keyboard: http://fabdroid.com/downloads/Fabolous_GBKB_Fix.zip
2.Use root explorer (or whichever to push files) and extract system folder from zip to your sd. Then copy latintime.apk to /system/app and the lib file to /system/lib.
3.Then flash this APK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=457922&d=1291697158
4. Long press in text box and select "Android Keyboard" and BINGO!
P.S. I have a theme so mine looks a tad different than yours!

What v is this one?
Sent from my Tazz Vanilla using XDA App

why cant we just install using astro or something like any other keyboard and turn it on and off in the input settings? why do we have to push and write over the stock one?

This is a V2 bug fix version. You dont want the stock version after using this trust me.

awesome!!!
this keyboard is great!!!!!

Worked great thanks,the only thing is that you have on your notes to flash the apk but that was not the way i got it to work,instead after moving the files from the zip like you said i also copied the apk file to system/apps rebooted then installed the apk file and it worked lik a charm,just an fyi.

The keyboard is awesome. Thanks for the instructions.

This worked for me also.........nice looking board

I cannot get this to work for the life of me. granted I'm trying to do adb from memory and I havent used it in forever.
adb shell
mount
adb push
that's the order right? I just cant get it to work for the life of me.
the explorer built into froSHEDyo won't let me copy/move files to system

okay, i finally downloaded super manager (great app btw) and got the two files into the app/lib folders
then i try to install that apk, and it wont install!
so now I don't have keyboard... luckily i still had an apk of that thumb keyboard so I'm using that for now.
I'm gonna go try that flashable .zip :/...

Update to newer version of Swype - Here ya go..

Ok here goes.. This version of Swype is WAY more accurate that the stock version. It makes it SO much nicer to use.
Flash at your own risk. It worked ok in IRC last night, although some ppl did have problems flashing via CWM.
The Root Explorer method seems to be working for everybody.. so have at it, just make a backup first.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
​
I dont want to hear it when your Swype is borked and you cant get it back because you didnt do a backup, not my fault. You have been warned!
Instructions:
Step 1. Change your default keyboard to the stock android keyboard, or any keyboard other than Swype.
Step 2. Using Root Explorer, Delete Swype.apk from /system/app/ and libSwypecore.so from /system/lib/
Step 3. Pull Swype.apk from the .zip file in this post
Step 4. Copy Swype.apk into /system/app/ using Root Explorer
Step 5. Reboot
You can also try just deleting Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib/ and then flashing the zip file via CWM, but some have success that way, and some dont. Not sure why, but its about 60/40.
Works great for me, follow the instructions and let me know how it turns out for you

works awesome!

Followed your instructions with Blackhole Rom (DJ01). Keep getting FC's. Even after clearing Cache, Dalvik and Fixing permissions.
Going to see if I can investigate why. Will keep you posted.

I had same problem. Running dj05 with stupid fast kernel.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I had to totally uninstall the Swype app using ADB (adb uninstall com...swype...)
and then fresh install it.

Br broke my swype too, force close hell :-(

I wanted to try this but i guess i'll wait since i'm also running DJ05 stupidfast 1.76 with blackhole 2.2. I don't need the FC hassle...lol...hopefully it will get fixed cuz i would love to try it.

I started reading this excited and as I moved down the page I was slowly discouraged. I will have to give this one a try and home when I have my main computer.

I just tried this and can confirm thr above claims. Followed given instructions to a t.

yupp getting the FC of hell now

This was tested in IRC last before releasing, and the only people who had trouble with it, were the people who did not follow the directions to a T.
Have you guys done EVERY step? Let me know...

I had to delete the libswypecore.so and the swype.apk file both before flashing this, and then it worked fine. I love how much smoother this works. Great job!

Correct. Just delete the apk and lib then install. Works great.

How did you delete swype? I tried titanium backup force remove but it conflicted with the cwm update.zip. Tried a root file manager but that failed too

Delete the apk and lib using root explorer.
Then install the apk in the op zip I didn't flash through cwm.

Only thing that worked for me was way ibegary stated... Followed original post directions to a "t" to no avail.

Finally got it to work after using root explorer to delete apk then pushing the updated apk in. apparently i forgot To mount as read only. Also didn't know you had to delete libswypecore.so again after flashing. Thanks for this!

[APP] EB01 Droid X Multi-Touch Keyboard

I found a Droid X keyboard that will work with our Froyo Fascinates and thought I would share it. This is the original work of Punk.Kaos to get it working for Froyo on the HTC Droid Eris. Here is the original link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021
IT IS NOT MY WORK, I ONLY FOUND IT TO WORK WITH THE FASCINATE FROYO.
Make sure you follow the instructions. This zip is NOT flashable in CWM. You must adb push or manually move these files to the correct locations.
There are two files in the zip,
libjni_latinime.so to /system/lib
droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk to /system/app/
*After you add the files to the correct location, you may find that you have to restart your phone if the keyboard does not show up immediately as Multi-Touch Keyboard in the Input Method List.

I always have hell with this. I used root explorer to move both of the files to their required place, rebooted and it didn't work. It never does :/ lol

Were you able to get the black keyboard to work? I tried using the v4 flashable zip and now I have input.latin force closes..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone like this over samsung keypad or android keyboard? Im not sure if this is better than the stock keyboard

No matter what I do it won't work..
I really like how nothing I do in root explorer will take effect at all..changing permissions, renaming files, moving them...nothing takes effect.

Well, not sure where to start...Did you unzip the files you downloaded to the root of your SD card? If so, after that take the file named droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk and copy it to the directory /system/app (make sure R/W is enabled in Root Explorer) Next, take the file named libjni_latinime.so and paste it into the directory /system/lib. (It will ask if you want to overwrite the current one; say YES.) Finally, restart your phone and now the keyboard should show up in your Input Method Selection.

I loved the multitouch back in the 2.1 days. I did find a great gingerbread keyboard in the markplace which I like just as much. Search gingerbread keyboard.

Well. How to install it? Gives me "Application not installed" error.

You can rename it to Vending.apk and replace the one in system/app/ with this one. Make sure you clear data and cache and reboot. Use root explorer to move the file.

Thanks. I'm going to try.

i just installed it like any other app.

Anyone having problems downloading or updating apps? I can't seem to do either without a FC. I've tried clearing data, caches, dalvik and fixing permissions and nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
edit: I restored my previous version of the market, then reinstalled at it is working now.

heres a vid about how to install it if you cant install it like a normal app, added to the op.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdujIKw4wXg

If you're down with the adb.. I just did this:
adb remount
(go to directory where file saved..)
adb pull /system/app/Vending.apk Vending.bak
adb push Market-3.3.11.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Vending.apk
adb reboot

Thanks a Lot. I was trying ICS ROM and Market doesnt work. I will give this a try.

Tried everything and still forcecloses while downloading a new app.
I'm going to do a data wipe right now, and will try again.

Ultimate Crespo v1.0 Rom clean install.
installed franco kernel (1 nov).
installed gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
installed googleWalletFix v6
then pushed new market without even adding a google account or running old market.
No luck. Force closes.

if you are getting fc's, put the vending.apk in /data/app/ instead of /system/app/.

I tried on NSCollab instead of Ultimate Crespo right now, then worked.
