I tried the Captivate app RoadSMS on the aria and the keyboard isn't fully displayed on the screen. It cuts off 1/4 of the right side. I know it wasnt made got the 3.2in screen but its a novelty app at best a fun to look at. Anyone else give it a go?

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?

Hi,
Ive always used CWM to make my recoveries. But now, with Nexus 7 (CWM touch 6.0.1.9), Im unable to locate the backup files. There is no BACKUP folder in the clockwork folder and while I did a search using google and found many answers for my question, none of them was right. And I didnt make update from 4.1.2 - I cleaned the whole device and flashed stock 4.2.1 via fastboot, so I dont believe there is some directory tree change mess. And there is no BLOBS folder either.
I just flashed the ROM, rooted it using Toolkit, flashed CWM, made a backup - and boom, nothing there, while it is visible in both CWM recovery and ROM manager. I tried renaming the backup in ROM manager and searching for its new name using File Manager (with root privileges), but I was unsuccessful ...
So, please help me or provide me with a relevant link as I dont like TWRP ...
EDIT: I deleted the /SDCARD/CLOCKWORK folder and flashed TWRP. Now, I returned to CWM, made a backup using CWM and not only I dont see the backup itself, it didnt even recreate the CLOCKWORK folder. I just made a full search in the whole filesystem and there is nothing with "clock" in name (nothing relevant). Where is the backup hidden?????
Tried using it today. Its in some God forsaken rabbit hole. First enable root in es file explorer settings. Then look in system for data, media and eventually clockworkmod. That's the help I can give u.

Thanks, but that not the place for me. /data is empty and the only folder found containing "clock" in the file structure is /sstorage/emulated/0/clockwork ... the same as /sdcard/clockwork I was talking about. only three small files and thats it, no BACKUP or BLOBS.
GOT IT!!! I dont know why it wasnt visible with rooted File Manager, but I tried ES and its there ... bam ... THANKS A LOT!
Now, whats the best way to save this stuff to a computer?
its because Jellybean 4.2 uses diff storage paths...
Android 4.2 significantly changes the way how sdcards are handled internally, your data is moved from /sdcard/ into /sdcard/0 on first boot (0 is the 'home directory' of the default user). If you go back to 4.1.2: Don't forget to move the data in 0/ back to the root of your sdcard.

Well, Im aware of that. But that doesnt explain why the files are under /data/media/clockwork. Neither it does explain why it wasnt shown/found by File manager with root privileges - although I guess its the problem of the File manager, as ES File Explorer sees that without any problems ...
Now, I switched CWM to save to TAR and made a backup. It created a folder "/data/media/clockwork/backup/2013-01-08-1214" with 9 files, size about 1,1GB. Is it sufficient for me to copy this file to my computer? Im talking about backing up the backup (heh) ...
Also, is it ok that files cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar and system.ext4.tar are 0mb? Thanks!
EDIT: I tried moving a backup folder to my pc, making factory reset, copying it back to where it was and restoring - everything works fine. Although I dont get why google messed the sw insides so much - my Nexus S seems to be much better in the matter of directory tree - and doesnt wipe all my files when doing stock restore from PC ...
After installing 6/30 update on nook hd+ i get this odd path and what seems to be duplicate files.
I see it if i for example browse to change the mail notification sound. Or any app that presents an option to load a file.
I had accidentaly tried to flash hummingbird version That failed of course, and id already done clearing steps in cwm
So i had to restore my backup of 6/24 rom first, then booted up, copied ovation then rebooted to cwm and did 6/30 update.
It seems to be my sdcard path.
ANy way to fix this?

That is a default path when on Android 4.2.2. It is just a symlink of your files that exist on the internal storage. If you delete a file in that path, it gets deleted in sdcard as well, and vice versa.
It is setup that way for the multiple users that are available to be setup in the newer Android versions.
0 - first user, 1- second user, etc.

I did some reading and heard about that.
But it usually happens as a result of upgrading an installation which is exactly when it started showing up.
I tried to disable multi-user in settings...that did nothing.
It's a bit of an annoyance as any apps that access the folder structure default to that
instead of the /sdcard/ alias.
Does anyone know if there is a setting or a file that can be modified so at least apps
default to /sdcard/ instead of /storage/emulated/0 ?
I suspect if I re-formatted my nook HD+ and did a clean install of CM 10.1 6/30
then I wouldn't be having this, but I've already got it all setup the way I like it lol.
I was having a similar issue on mine. I couldn't find my dang files I had downloaded when looking to flash them in CWM. It kept telling me I couldn't mount /sdcard, but I finally found the same data in the /emulated/0 path you referred to above. So at least now I know where to look. I'm debating moving my default download directory to the ext_sdcard, so I'll at least know where it is, and my ROMS won't eat up all my internal memory.

Even with a clean install and format, you'll have that folder, its meant to be there.
My HD+ has the folder and I did a full wipe when I got the tablet to install CM10.1. Same when I installed a custom 4.2.2 ROM on my HTC One, the folder will exist. The only thing you can do if files keep showing up doubled in selection screens is to try to see if there's a setting to specify path selection. Failing that, try another clean install. You can backup settings and apps with Titanium Backup or another backup app.

I'm totally fine with it's existence, just prefer apps default to /sdcard/ alias
if possible. Comes in handy when you have to manually type the path...much less typing!

Apps should default to sdcard, mine do...
Sounds like you'll need to just do another clean install with a full wipe.

Just got my HTC1. rooted and flashed twrp 2601. back upped the stock rom. flashed venom and after getting it where I'd like, made a backup of that. now when i go to es explorer i can see my stock backup in the twrp folder but not the venom backup. when I go to twrp recovery, I can only see the venom backup but not the stock backup.
Any ideas on what the issue is?
There will be a backup folder in data/media and data/media/0, the folder in data/media needs to be merged with the other one.

That's due to the change in file structure between 4.1 and 4.2+
Don't know about TWRP, but for CWM recovery you can create a symlink, here's how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991657
Though it seems the newer version of the recoveries have already been corrected.

Yah, it's because 4.2 added multi-user support.
So user data would be,
Data/media/0
Data/media/1
And so on...
I'm not sure about the option in twrp, I just formatted my SD and started fresh.
