I'm a beginner at this, but if you can pull the /assets/keyboards folder out of the apk by using winrar or 7-zip, and you have something like photoshop or illustrator, etc, then you can go bonkers with the image files in there.
when you are done editing it then shove it back in the appropriate place in the apk.
Note that I am not on CM7, but I *think* it should be the same...?

Cool! Let me know if you have a way of changing the trace color. I've got that question posted in other threads, but while I'm doing my own reading, can't hurt to ask too many people, too.

man i dont know, how to do that, but i wanted to do a sype theme for my honeycomb theme so i dont mind the blue trace color, but if your find out remember to tell me ;-)

I have no idea how to do it, but I can tell you its located in the libswypecore.so file in /system/lib if that helps any?

man i only know how to work with Photoshop, im not very experiences in more complicated stuff! lol

i dont understand i had my swype theme working out in my phone and i reboot my phone and now it doesnt appear? i dont understand, how did you did it man?

Not sure what to tell you except that I modified a working swype from a custom rom and the theme stock after reboot.
Did you modify a beta swype directly? I'm not sure if that would even have been the problem, but had to ask.

i modified the new version the one that you need to install the swype installer and then through that app you get swype, that swype isnt in system/app, is in data/app

I don't even know if this will work. For all I know it could mess things up, big warning there.
Could you try to move that to /system/app and rename as Swype.apk (if it hasn't been done already --- not even sure that's necessary)?
...or even better...grap the Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so file from a working custom ROM and use those and drop your own keyboard images on that one. That's what I did and it works for sure.
EDIT: Gonna be slow in responding for a bit. Getting dragged out of the house to Home Depot. Uggghhhh.

In order to theme the swype tail, you need to decomplie the apk. Then you edit res/values/colors. You will see
color name="TRACE_PATH_COLOR">#xxxxxx</color>

xxxxxx being your hex color. Recompile and swype!

You have to decompile the apk using apktool first.
sent using a phone.

one question, swype is natively installed on captivates...how come the "trial period ended" when using custom roms?

Do what Nunhugger said. It worked like a charm!

If you downloaded Swype from the web page and installed it with their installer, then it'll be installed here:
/sdcard/app

[Q] Extract 28A's keyboard on CM10

Can somebody help to extract 28A's keyboard to use in CM10? Just switched to CM10 but found that LG stock keyboard is the best
I have flashed the one extracted from GB rom, but can't add a new line in SMS app, besides everything worked fine
I have extracted the followings from the rom:
-LGEIME.apk
-lib\libjuinputlge.so
-lib\libjni_xt9input_v7.so
-lib\libjni_lgeime_native.so
-lib\libjni_latinime.so
Are all the necessary files included?
Last time I included even more, but when I flashed it, P970 ends in boot loop, so I think I better get some help before try again

LGEIMEbin.odex ?

I don't think it's the reason...and my phone is deodexed, so should not use odex file i guess, still, thanks!

as 4.2 keyboard is available, why only stick to ICS
and its only apk file installation is enough..

Tried to install LG keyboard apk but don't work, either FC or didn't show up in setting menu
I am a Chinese user actually, and JB's keyboard don't provide me the option to type chinese

it will take sometime to use this official ICS APKs

The odex file is like a part of the apk so you need that to.
And it means that you can't use it on cm10.

[Q] Google contacts.apk

Hello, is it possible to take the Contacts and Phone apk from another Rom, and just copy it to our phone? I don't like the Contacts.apk from Samsungs :/ I prefer the white/blue from Google, I tried it from my androidx86, but it didn't worked... I also don't want to lose facebook-sync. Is it possible to get both?
My Rom is Benzrom v4.1. Would be nice if have an idea In the Android Apps and Games section I couldn't find it.

they are using different names in the system/app folder. can i place it there instead of renaming the ics to the jb one ? i mean the .odex file is only present for the jb browser.
edit
I installed it with it's own name in the system/app folder it works after reboot with the permissions set properly but when i open it it closes instantly with the "internet has stopped working" message. maybe i'm missing the odex file can you please post it? : )

AOSP 6.0.1 keyboard

could someone pull and upload the 6.0.1. aosp keyboard? I am on stock but would like to use the AOSP keyboard since (from what I can tell) is the only keyboard with all the new emojis. I have tried the stock google keyboard and the modded keyboard that is floating around. Neither have the options that the AOSP keyboard has. Thanks!!

Here you go. Although it's my understanding that anyone not on 6.0.1 can't see the new emojis. (I could be wrong)

I think i may be missing a lib or something. In your app folder that you pulled this from, is there a lib folder? Could you get me that file as well? I would appreciate it!

Oops. Here it is.

This keeps crashing for me. It won't even show me the keyboard. Just ups and crashes, even with the .so file.
EDIT: nvm it needed an arm folder inside the lib folder. What does libjni_keyboarddecoder.so do? Is it required for the AOSP keyboard?

There should be a com.android.inputmethod.latin-1 folder in /data/app/ if you've installed the apk
The .so file goes in /data/app/com.android.inputmethod.latin-1/lib/arm/
(Create those last two folders)

What's it doing? Is it just crashing whenever the keyboard needs to come up?
Try reinstalling it. See if that fixes it. Or a reboot.

if anyone is still struggling with this. after you copy over the lib., you need to change the attributes (of the lib) to -rw-r--r

I tried this keyboard with the attributes of lib -rw-r--r but it doesn't found, then I tried rwxr-xr-x and it started to work!

Will the darkcloud additions help anyone for the keyboard lib?

Thank you for this! I found that this version had been customized tho, so I modified the framework of this apk to be as close to stock as possible. Here is a flashable zip ?
