Hey guys!
I want to replace my stock keyboard (I'm 100% stock now) with a blackout one. I downloaded MultiThemed-GoogleKeyboard-4.0.21203.apk from TeamBlackout's app, but I can't find the location of the stock keyboard in /system to replace it. I found a latinime keyboard in /system/app and tried replacing that, but nothing happened. Any help is appreciated!

the latinime in /system/app/ IS the stock keyboard

Really? Because I moved my blackout keyboard apk to /system, renamed, changed permissions, and then moved it to overwrite the stock keyboard, and the keyboard was unchanged.

try deleting the stock keyboard, reboot, then place the blacked out version in there instead(and reboot so itll install itself).

Just getting constant force closes from the keyboard now :/ Maybe this needs to be put in a zip and flashed in TWRP. Guess I'll try that later. Thanks for the help.

Hi all,
I personally really like the default Launcher2.apk from froyo, however unfortunately Cyanogen has now only included ADW.Launcher in cm6. After upgrading to cm6-rc1, I'm having trouble locating a copy of a Launcher2.apk from froyo.
As my phone's bootloader is not unlocked, it'll be a large hassle for me to go back to stock, and upgrade just to get Launcher2.apk...
I was wondering whether someone could post their stock /system/app/Launcher2.apk from an FRF91 install, to save me the trouble.
If you have adb installed, the command should just be:
adb pull /system/bin/Launcher2.apk
Cheers, Xanium
remote object '/system/bin/Launcher2.apk' does not exist
Just pull it from a stock rom and push it back overwriting ADW.
Mine had trouble seeing it. I tried a version I compiled myself from AOSP, as well as a resigned one from a deodexed FRF91 rom without success. I'm sure I missed something. I don't know what though. I've replaced the launcher in older CM versions with my own modified one without issues.
If you download CM6 from ROM manager you can choose to install with ADWLauncher or Launcher2
Launcher2.apk and Launcher2.odex are located at system/app. not at system/bin

Really? Awesome. I guess I'll have to try that.
Here is a stock AOSP build of Launcher2.apk.
EDIT: Rom Manager didn't allow me to select launcher. The file I linked to above worked fine though. Just reboot and it will default to Launcher2. The ADWLauncher entry in the Settings app will disappear as well.
I made an update.zip (for hdpi-devices) to make replacing the launcher easy for future upgrades. It just adds Launcher2.apk and removes ADWLauncher.apk.
Launcher2 just keeps FC on my G1. I'm using CM6-RC1.
I installed like:
adb .\Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk
adb reboot
Phone boots but launcher just keeps crashing. Do I have to do some kind of wipe to get this to work? Does anyone have Launcher2 working on CM6-RC1?
EDIT: Perhaps I need to uninstall the old ADW launcher? I rm'd it from /system/app but another post suggested using pm unsinstall com.android.launcher. I haven't tried that.

You need Launcher2 built from AOSP for mdpi. The one in my post is for hdpi. I forgot to mention that.
I get an error in Amon-Ra Recovery when trying to flash your zip file (nexus one, CMod RC2/nightly), Blunden.
Code:
E: can't open /sdcard/replace-launcher-signed.zip (bad)
Any ideas? I tried the manual uninstall of ADW and installation of Launcher2.apk but Launcher2.apk says it won't install.
Never mind. I downloaded your AOSP-compiled version of launcher.apk and it worked without a hitch. I must have had a corrupted file when I tried to install before. Thanks for posting the files!
no you cant

Navigate to system/app and install the keyboard apk. This is what I had to do. I got it working with SwiftKey too.

I can't paste the apk in that directory
I can install it from my SD card, but the new keyboard doesn't show, just the old

You can't just run the apk from any directory to install it. It must be in system/app and the permissions must be set correctly.

Which one is it? Gingerbread.apk? (I assume the LatinIME.apk is the stock kb?)
i have the Gingerbread.apk there (when I view the file it says "Gingerbread keyboard" but it's set to -r- permissions. I'm not entirely sure how to run it.
I installed FlexT9 keyboard, and can't get it to show up in available keyboards. Moved it from data/app to system/app. Didn't show. Tried reinstalling from inside system/app. Didn't show. Rebooted, still doesn't show. While I didn't try installing this one on a rooted 1.1, I was able to install every keyboard I tried on 1.1. I've searched the MN thread and can't find a solution. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hey don't move the installed app from data to system copy it.
It needs to be in bothe data and system dirs after istallation.
Try it.
Ah! Awesome, thanks so much!
Don't mention it.

Emoji Keyboard
4.2 keyboard
Extract the apks from both zips and put them in your phones system/app, be sure to change the permissions.
And also put the lib files in the system/lib and change the permissions.
I didn't flash them in recovery as I don't have a recovery installed, if you have a recovery installed you can try to flash them, though I wouldn't recommend doing so as I don't know if the zips will work on our phone.
If you do want to install it in recovery I highly recommend making a backup.

You go into settings, then language and input.
Tick the boxes for the android keyboard and iwnn ime keyboard.
Go in the settings of the android keyboard and then scroll down to the bottom and go into advanced settings and tick the box that says switch to other input methods.
Set the default keyboard as the android keyboard and after that disable the xperia keyboard then reboot.
After that your keyboard should now be the default aosp keyboard and everytime you press the globe it would turn into the emoji keyboard.

So I've installed Android Revolution HD 3.2 GE and I see where the messaging app doesn't have popups and such like the CM Mms.apk does. I deleted the Mms.apk from system and replaced with the CM one and after reboot it replaces it back with the factory apk. Last night I was able to get it to stick (had to factory reset for another reason) and I'm doing the same thing now so I'm not sure what the issue is.
While getting ready to post this, I was attempting again and this time after reboot the Mms.apk is in the system folder (not sure which one) but the app is missing from the app drawer. So I just factory reset.
I'm pretty bent on getting this popup version to work. I downloaded an app called Popup which was nice, but it was consuming way too much battery.
Thank you for any help.

I'm assuming the ROM has r/w protection disabled (Where anything done is reverted)? If so, have you deleted the MMS.apk from system/app, put the CM mms.apk in system/app, set the correct permissions at rw-r--r-- and rebooted?

I remember once before it prompted me to change to rw-r-r-- and it hasn't been doing that now. I set it myself just now after copying the apk and it still replaced it after reboot.
Edit: to clarify, yes I did as you specify. Not sure if it matters, but in the rom tweaks during install there is an option for "Improe EXT4 Performance: Enable data_writeback for all paritions". Would this being checked/unchecked make a difference?
Edit 2: I installed with and without it checked and it didn't make a difference.
Followed instructions in this thread, just to try some things and it still resets back to the factory mms.apk. Just updating on what I've tried.

lulz I'm about to flash a different rom. The app you showed me doesn't keep the changes. It reboots and everything is switched back to off and no changes are kept. I blame the rom/system, not the app itself because others in the thread all seem to be fine.
Edit: I think i'm editing every post.... I tried doing the AOSP Browser install with the app, and even that didn't stick. Said "android is upgrading" upon restart but nope...
Installed Insert Coin and it works now. Thanks for the assistance!
