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.

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.

Does anyone know where I can find the stock android or a working swype apk? the htc keyboard is frustrating me with all its lag. I've been searching high and low for the stock keyboard with no avail, and the only swype apk I have found that didn't have a resolution problem said my trial period had ended so it wouldn't work at all.
If any of you guys could help with either of these it would really help me out.
Here is a working swype. It's got the HTC skin though. The original is somewhere in the Themes and Apps section.
http://www.2shared.com/file/LPWcxaZf/swype-hvga-156-htc_ime-en-hack.html
Thank you kind sir. This is working so much better than the htc keyboard.
If anyone has the stock apk I think it would still be nice just to have it on my phone cause I just like to have everything
Swype Needs Upgrade
Hi Newbie Here,
Hello to everyone. I would just like to say that I am very impressed with the site, good work guys (oops, sorry and gals) keep it up.
I have just downloaded the swype app and it is not working it says:"Your trial period has ended. Please upgrade your copy of Swype". Can you please tell me how to upgrade it. I am new to the Android OS so any easy input would be appreciated.
regards

Give this a try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6022515&postcount=134
yes, but you'll also need to follow this.
1. download .apk from above link
2. put it on root of your sdcard
3. download apps installer from market.
4. run apps installer, when it asks for settings to turn on unknown apps do it.
5. run apps installer again and you'll see your apk on sd card. just click on it and install.
6. go to settings->keyboard, and turn on swype.
7. open any message or anywhere you can type some thing to bring up keyboard.
8. double click and hold in text area.
9. select input method and then swype.
shew... that should do it.
Black Stock Keyboard
Attached is the Stock Keyboard (to the best of my knowledge) and the files associated with it, I extracted it but am currently unable to get my APK toolset to repackage the apk correctly.
Basically, it just needs polished and renamed in XML coding to something like "Bionix Stock Black"
I get "Application not installed"
I used an old version that expired, and now I'm getting the "Application not installed" thing, any ideas?
Maybe I should delete the remains of the expired version, but idk how.
I would like to be able to compose mail and search with the Norwegian special characters, but of course since this unit's made for the US market they're not there. I tried installing Swype version for WVGA, but I couldn't even get it to show in the Extras or anywhere else. Can somebody please tell me about something I could use?
I tried to install the Scandinavian Keyboard by trygveaa, but I think the problem is that there is no way of changing keyboard settings. So is there a sneaky way of doing this?
Thanks in advance!
+1, very interested as I will be using mine in France, so would much prefer AZERTY keyboard.
+1 here, would love getting Icelandic letters
Hexodam, I know you need that. You can't write "Svarti dauði" in E-mails without them! You'll have to call it "brennivin", and that's not as cool!
Of course you could just drink mjød, but what's the fun in that?
Some people were able to install by replacing LatinIME.apk in system/app. You need to rename the softkey apk of your choice and replace it with LatinIME.apk. You have to make system folder writerble in order to do this. I wanted to install korean keyboared but no luck. After replacing apk korean keyboard shows up. When I touch it. It hides. Well don't forget to backup the original LatinIME.apk before you do this.
Thats exactly why, have to tell my friends "Drunk off my ass thanks to svarti dauði"

I tried with Astro, but of course it didn't work since the system folder probably isn't writeable. I searched for that on Google, but that looked a bit too scary...for me.

You can use Root Explorer to make it R/W, very easy to use.
Not easy enough for a Windows Mobile guy, it seems... I have Root Explorer installed, but I can't seem to find out how to make it RW. By Googling I found something about "Mount RW" by tapping in the upper right corner, but there's nothing in that corner.
I have used ADB and the method at NookDevs to make it RW, but that didn't really work. It says in the list that it's RW, but trying to delete or rename the LatinIME.apk nothing happens. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
So I somewhat got Wiiremote support on the Vivid. I extracted the Bluetooth.apk from a Cyanogenmod rom.
1.) you need to have a odexed rom (I used rumraider b3)
2.) install the attached file by putting it in /System/app (i put it on my sd card and used root explorer)
3.) install Bluez IME and the HID addon (google it )
4.) follow the IME's instuctions and select Wiimote (HID) for the device.
known problems:
lights continue to blink, it's connected and won't turn off but the lights blink instead of show the 1
use at your own risk, this worked for me, no one else has tested it. Let me know how it works for you
Sry if this is off topic ,will this work for ps3axis controller

i'm not sure you can try? i don't see why it wouldn't.
The HTC Sense bluetooth apk is the "roadblock" for pairing the remotes. swapping it out should solve problems for all the pairing problems.
You know, I never would have thought of trying this on my own. I've got a bluetooth device that won't sync properly with anything stock on the vivid but I had GB ROM that I think used the telstra bluetooth stack that worked perfectly. Since going to ICS it had stopped working again but after reading this post I decided to pull the Bluetooth.apk off that old ROM and it works perfectly again.
Thanks for the tip.
Is this possible on the new stock ATT ICS rom? How can I backup or get the original installer for bluetooth on this rom? Thank you.

You can use a file browsing app like Root Explorer.
The Bluetooth.apk will be in system/apps. Mount system to R/W
move the original file to your sdcard somewhere.
And take the one posted in op's post up above.
And paste and install it in system/apps.
You need root permissions to do this though. Good luck.

It looked like I was able to just open the apk file posted and install it. Do you think this is possible? I didn't want to screw up my phone if I didn't have the original to replace it. Thanks.

it has to be put in the system apps folder because that's where the phone looks for the bluetooth support. also it needs some elevated permissions and isn't made to comply with superuser.
you can make a backup just in case
Had it sync fine the first time I tried it, and then my dad called and my screen off profile was too low so my phone restarted lol. Now I can't get it to sync again! When I Activate Bluetooth with Bluez IME selected I get a "pairing request," and if I choose it from the notification menu it says to enter a PIN on the phone and device (which I can't because you can't enter a PIN on the wiimote, plus the IME isn't touch input anymore).
My steps:
Activate Bluetooth
Scan for devices - Nintendo RVL-CNT-01
Select Device Driver - Wiimote (HID)
Select IME - Bluez IME
Anddd the wiimote just times out. Any insight?
try uninstalling the apk that you installed via installer (not dropping in system/app) if you haven't already
then maybe try reinstalling bluez IME?
i wish i could be more help!
Keep getting a "Disconnected: Software Interference" Are there limitations on a per-app basis as far as functionality is concerned?
Hi,
When using non-Sony ROMs I've been flashing the Sony Xperia keyboard. If you find texting difficult on smartphone keyboards, try this. It's my favourite keyboard.
Question: (and discussion) Has anyone tried this on stock RAZR i? I haven't rooted yet and wondered does it work OK. This one needs to be flashed in a recovery, then you select the Xperia keyboard in settings/message.
Note: this is not my work, thanks to the original creator kristiancarl

It does not work
I tried it also with copying the files into the system but it force closes every time.
The error status i get flashing in recovery is: 255
dont know what this means.
This is a shame, the ICS version seemed to work on any ROM without any problem.
The OP of the thread has these instructions:
1. Decompress the zip file.
2. Ignore the META-INF folder
3. In the app folder, you'll find textinput-chn.apk (Mandarin Chinese keyboard) and textinput-tng.apk (English keyboard).
4. You can move one or both into /system/app folder with ES File Manager/root explorer/etc. (or adb)
5. Move lib/libXT9Engine into /system/lib
6. Move usr/xt9 into /system/usr
7. Reboot. If you still don't see the keyboard in your settings, install the apk with your file manager which should work with the libraries installed.
Basically, you move the few files yourself with correct permissions.
I won't ask anyone to go to that trouble, flash was enough. :fingers-crossed: If you really like the Xperia keyboard I understand. I will definitely try the above myself too.

yeah I tried this methode with changing permissions.
Now I will try the ICS version, im on JB
And I love the xperia Keyboard its amazing, its the best I know, better than swiftkey
////EDIT:
It does not worl Please let me know if you can get it working!
A temporary keyboard similar to the Sony one is Smart Keyboard Pro. There is a portrait T9 keyboard in there too if you use that.
I have tried many versions of the Sony keyboard which have been ported for any ROM, but they all force close after installation.
Anyone manage to get this to work?
Its the best keyboard i've used. Hope someone can figure out how to make it work.

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?

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)
