hey guys,
im having a difficult time trying to install a different version of swype on the phone.
i have deleted the original apk using root explorer and tried to install the latest one (the one that has 19 languages because it supports my language also). i tryed installing it using adb but it gave me install failuire, i tried installing it from the sd card using root explorer but it asked me if i want to replace the current one an it gave me a application not installed message. the thing is i deleted the old swype apk....
how can i install this new one??
i would really apreciate any help!!
did you backup your old swype apk ? should have pulled it using ADB
i prob would have opened them both up and checked the changes in the packages, pulled your original one, opened it in winrar, not extract, added or changed the files, closed and pushed back onto your device.
however, you will need to add permissions to certain folders using root explorer to be able to do this
if you want the swype apk from a UK, international version i can pull and upload for you

thanks for that, but i managed to install it...
the thing is i tried taking out some other languages that it has inside, resign and upload to phone but it screws everything up..
you think you can make me a light version? just english and romanian, no tips no tricks no nothing ??
EDIT: sorry about that
Careful I believe posting swype files is against XDA policy

Dear Brother,
First of all your phone should be rooted (if not search it)
it must have 2.1 rom not 1.6
and you are supposed to have root explorer.(from the market)
download the following link to your computer and extract it.
mediafire.com/?65r7o8smfrog979 (add www befor the link)
u will have now two folders one called "Fonts" and the other called "lib".
now copy both folders to your SD card.
now from your phone, use the root explorer to do the following with the same order (very important to keep exactly the same order) :
1- make sure that the root explorer has the "Mount R/O" not R/W on the upper right corner.
2- copy all the files inside "Font" folder to system\font
Now in the other folder "lib" u wull have 3 files:
(from now on, u should copy just one file at a time with the following order (again it is very important to stick to the order))
3- copy just libskiagl.so to system\lib
4- copy then libwebcore.so to system\lib
5- then copy libskia.so to system\lib
here the phone will restart alone or if not u should restart it and now u can read arabic
Note:
# i dont take responsibility if your phone is corrupted, u are doing this on your own responsibility
#this arabization is not perfect so in same apps like Gmail, the subject name will be "ma3koos!!!".
# this is the best and easiest way to arabize your phone, at least till now
# this arabization will give you arabic font even over the tile bar with no problems.
# here you will get Arial font for english and arabic which is the best for reading on such a small device.
# i recommend using "smart keyboard pro" as it can be easilty upgraded to get arabic letters, and easy to switch between the two langueges while typing.
#i am not a developer, and those files are not made by me, you can get mor infos from (ce4arab.com) or (adslgate.com). but i recommend that you stick to my way of arabization.
# this is supposed to work on X10 and X10 mini pro (but i didnt try it)
# if somebody uses the method, plz comment as i want to know the results.
i want to thank Ghaith Alshareef the moderator of android in (adslgate.com)
and for sure Galaxyer (ce4arab.com)
good luck
thanks man it really works
great to have people who help around here
i am happy it worked so fast
Does this method works with another phones
i have lg gt540 with 2.1 rom
the arabic font on my phone showed not connected
actually i am not a developer, so really i dont know of it will work or not on LG
but i think that u can search this on ce4arab
Can you please reupload the mediafire link you posted, i really want to test this on my x10mini pro and the link points to something else now.
thank you
Hello guys thank you for the big help here.
Just wondering what will this method make in arabic? Is it everything even the menu and the writing or just the viewing like messages and web sites surving?
A guy told me that there is a way to make names and messages viewable in arabic without rooting ,is that possible?
Thank you again
long process
I got arabic text by just replacing one file in font folder.
i downloaded that arabic font somwere on this forum.whoever wants the font pm me.
hey guys, i am going now to post new files on my first reply with new links. this is the best arabization i have found till now
Dear friend,
this arabization allows you to view any thing arabic on almost any application (of course including the web browser) except the titles of E mails on Gmail, the letters there will be inverted.
till now i havent tried any apps which uses arabic and has problems with this arabization (the new one 18/1/2011)
so the menu and the settings are not arabized (unfortunatly)
with out rooting you can read and type your mesages with an application called "Mirsal" which is available on the market, but still you wont be able to surf the internet through arabic websites.
Thanks very much
I want you to help through one more thing unfortunately I can't surf through the market because google has blocked it from the place where i'm at right now it would be awesome if someone can upload it somewhere please
Again thank you guys this is a great topic.
Hey it's me again please guys don't bother I found mirsal in some web site
Thanks
Thats ok, you are welcomed any time

Thanks! Works Perfect!
pro
X10 mini pro here.
I can confirm that this works.
Facebook arabic posts are visible now on browser (dolphin)
Arabic websites are legible now.
Problems:
Some non-arabic text characters show as squares.
The new non-arabic new font isn't as legible but it's my humble opinion.
Some weird sqaures appeared next to some application names in the menu.
dear loony33, even though those squers appear, i still think that this is the best arabization u can get, the other fonts would make the arabic letters very small, and you wont be able to read them on launcher pro (as an example).
i hope that in the near future, i will find better fonts, i will post them then
good luck
Thank you.
I have gotten used to the new fonts now.
I am having a problem though requiring restart once or twice per day. The recent program text disappears and so do the text for the volume. Not sure what triggers that. These all would not have text underneath. Even the media volume text disappears. Any ideas?
Thanks.
hey,
I have suffered from the disappearene of text in the previous (old) font, but not in the new one. and regarding that you need to restart every day...., i am quite sure it is not related to the font maybe a new program which you recently installed!!
Hey gus - HERE is my question for the pros
Recently i was exploring the /system/app directory in my UD installation.
And u know what i found: the apk named in title...
But hey - I never saw an app or a service in my archos showing me the weather...
When starting it - the apk wanted to install - but it didn't work - also not if I tried to install from another place (thought i could make problems installing an app from /system/app to /system/app...)
Is there ANYONE knowing anything about a weather app from archos?
EDIT: Attached the file - perhaps anyone can figure it out...
I have the latest Euphoria (RC2.1) on my vibrant. I want to install the old samsung keyboard. I found the apk (axt9IME.apk) however trying to install it using a file explorer I get the "application not installed" message.
I want to use this particular keyboard as I can swipe the space key to switch languages quickly. I tend to type in both English and Arabic in the same sentence a lot.
Also, I would like to install the Experia keyboard. This is the only keyboard I like with a spell tip for the Arabic language. This is also important for me.
I don't know if I have the proper file, but I tried to install "textinput-tng.apk" and got the same problem as above.
Does anyone know what the proper way to install these keyboards is? Doc Master ICS rom has the samsung keyboard and I really miss it! However, it seems too buggy for me.
a
Also I forgot to add for the word prediction to work, is there any associated file/apk to transfer? I also have the Experia Arc and have access to all the files on it of course.
I just wanted to update that I found a flashable version of the stock Samsung keyboard with the Arabic language files. Flashing this .zip file worked.
However, that still doesn't answer the question of why didn't the .apk install, even after moving to /system/app and changing the permissions.
I need to learn this if I am to install the Sony keyboard, unless I can find a flashable version with the Arabic files (which I haven't so far)
Hi everyone, I always solved my problems just by reading other threads and it solved, but now I'm stuck and can't find any thread to solve the problem.
Here it is, my problem:
I wanted to translate the Settings.apk into my language, and decompiled/recompiled it, then copied it to my Tab, and replaced the Settings.apk in system/app with the new one by Root Explorer, but the problem is that when I reboot my GT P1010 I cannot find the Settings icon in Applications
I don't know where the problem is...
Any Help ...?
Solved Missing Settings.apk from App Drawer after editing it

Hi! I just wanted to say that I solved the problem, and now I can edit my Settings.apk how I want.
After many searching in google and inside this forum, and many many trying I found a way how to compile my apk and then being recognized by my device.
1) I just compile my edited apk
2) and then open the new_apk aside with the original_apk by 7zip
3) then Drag&Drop the resources.arsc from the new_apk to the original_apk close it,
4) and then push original_apk with adb into my device,
5) copy to /system/app/ by Root Explorer, Fix Permissions and Reboot.
That's all, if someone had this problem here is the solution...
:good: Have nice developing...
Still not working
Tried every possible way
