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?

Install it from Google Play Store, you also can try Swiftkey

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)

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.
Hi all,
Does anyone knows what are the apks, lib, data etc for the Input functions (copy paste etc) in Gingerbread 2.3.3, DXJV9? And could you please post them here. Or an update.zip in CWM?
I would like to overwrite them to see if it can be restored to default.
Recently flashed a custom ROM and have an issue. When I use the input function (entering text etc) and click on the pointer, it only shows a partial view of the image (with the words "Select text, select All, Cut, Copy, Paste etc", totally hidden below the pop-up. It is like a new image overlay on top of the old.
I am on DXJV9, Gingerbread 2.3.3. I flashed chebon v1.3 without this issue (but I like to have the extended Power down menu)
I flashed erobot ROM v2.1 DXJV9 and Jose galaxy ROM DXJV9(based on erobot ROM) which caused this issue so I think there is a way to restore to the default but I cannot figure out what are the apks doing the input functions.
Thank you.
No one can help? I am sure the modders will know. Please advise.
I was told by another member that this issue might lies in the "framework-res.apk". So I am planning to replace it with a stock original.
Do I have to get specifically the DXJV9 version (My ROM is based on it) or any firmware version will do?
Would it have any problems since I am using a custom ROM?.
I have no idea what framework-res.apk does.
Please see attached for my error and see if you can advise.
Thanks!
I'm wanting to install the current version of the AOKP rom onto my note, but i noticed (after I flashed - boh) that there's an FC problem with the included launchers on that rom.
In the instructions they suggest using ADB to push novalauncher's apk file out to your device, but that seems needlessly complex to me when I could just (in theory) bundle the app into the .zip before I flash.
Is there any reason I can't insert the nova.apk into the AOKP.zip file (in /system/app as i understand it), zip it back up, flash the .zip as per normal AOKP instructions and proceed on my merry way?
Is it that simple? Do I need to mess around with chmodding the apk file or should the fact that it's in /system do that stuff for me?
FWIW I have tried this, but got some problems with having lost root between flashes (stupid ICS root) and that caused me some problems and a lot of high-heartrate moments trying to flash back to a working RocketRom build.
I'd rather do it 'properly' with accurate information about what I'm doing before I try again.
Appreciate the assistance.
I am to faceing the same problem but on other device

I open the ROM zip up and add .apks to the /system/app/ folder all the time..I also delete the ones I know I can and won't use..
There are some apps that won't work like this but its very uncommon..For example I can never include quickpic I always have to manually install it from the market.

Well my problem is solved
Check the app name of apps ur adding they should not include space in them ( like xda primium.apk) if there r space then remove the space (like xdaprimium.apk) it should work fine

Thanks man.
One more question - as far as launcher apps go, is there any way to set the default launcher in the .zip file?
If I delete the pre-existing launcher app from the rom in question and add nova.apk should it set itself as the default launcher app automatically?

no you will prbably need to makea script to get it to work
How can i make the required script??
plz help
---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------
And ive heard "the TouchWiz launcher included in the rom has hardware acceleration for better graphics performance while the launchers we use like GO LAUNCHER etc depends totally on cpu. They consume cpu power only and no GPU"
IS THAT SO??????????????
that would not mean a good thing
cause GO launcher or n other launcher are way better than Stock TWiz launcher.
I don't want someone to do all the work for me, but if anyone could direct me to some kind of resource with the relevant syntax and such that'd be amazing.

You can delete any launcher in the original zip and replace it with Nova and it will work. You don't need any script to do that, as suggested before.
thanks chasmodo - this worked flawlessly.
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.
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda premium
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.

Hi Folks,
I have installed the Pure Vanila V5 ROM from here. And immediately flashed the CoCore-E-6.8-CWM Kernel using UKF. The combination looks pretty good to me except a few things mentioned below.
1. The font colour in some of the settings menu has turned white. The solution to solve it as per the link above is to update the framework with a seperate framework.apk, i tried that, but i am getting an error message that 'Aplication not installed'. does anyone know a workaround for this.
2. Secondly i like to install the Stock Samsung Music Player. I found the apk file in the above link and also from many other links in XDA, but when i try to install the apk, the error message 'Aplication not installed' pops up.
3. I also tried to install the TouchWiz Launcher using the apk downloaded from the above link, but the same error.
Are these errors a result of Pure Vanila with CoCore-E-6.8-CWM combination? Why i am not able to install these apps. however there is no problem in installing apps from play store.
Please Help

2. & 3. Push apks to system/app. You can't install system apps in the way you install non-system.

framework-res.apk
Thanks for the prompt reply.
On the 1st point i am refering to 'framework-res.apk' which the developer of the Pure Vanila ROM has included as a seperate package. Can i put this file also on the system/app folder. As per the developer, the purpose if this tweak is to resolve an issue with the font colours in some of the settings option.
And on second and third point, I have copied the apks in the system/app folder. Now i guess the next step is to wipe the dalvik cache; so that, after a reboot i can see the app in my app drawer. Am i correct?
regards,
fred

No, framework-res.apk goes into system/framework folder. Rename the old one and push the new one. Then delete the old one and restart. You need to do nandroid backup first is anything goes wrong.

Please note that the fixed framework has a new bug - it gives you split settings window as if in tablet mode.
If you like it, then good, but if you don't you need to push back the old framework.
