[Q] How to revert back to CM7 stock keyboard? - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I tried flashing this keyboard to my CM7.0.3 ROM earlier today, unfortunately, it didn't really go too well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14018404#post14018404
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Upon rebooting my Legend having flashed the zip file, all I see is continuous Force Closes for the keyboard. Specifically: process com.android.inputmethod.latin
This happens every 10 secs or so, and there is definitely no keyboard present either.
So the question is, how can I revert back to the 'stock' keyboard? Yes, I can restore my Nandroid backup however, does anyone have a link to the 'stock' keyboard that I can flash? Or any keyboard that will work??
Thanks!!
p.s. For what it's worth, the BlueBuzzer theme works great on the Legend.

First of all, have u tried changing keyboard by longpressing any textbox and selecting "Change input method". IF however u replaced the keyboard with the new one u'll have to use any of following methods:
method 1:
unzip the 7.0.3 rom and take the LatinIME.apk and push it to you /system/apps (make sure system is mounted and not read-only)
(If u need, i can add it as attachment)
EDIT: Apparently "libjni_latinime.so" is also modified, at least it's in the zip. Same as the apk, but push to /system/lib.
Method 2:
Download any other keyboard from market and Change Input method to the newly installed keyboard. Now it'll be hard to enter your searchquery without keyboard, so just use the market.android.com website and the install will be pushed to your device.
Method 3:
Well, it's maybe not the best way, but easy for sure, just reinstall 7.0.3 without clearing anything. So just "update" your rom, with the same version.
It'll put your keyboard back to how it should be.
If u wanna use this method i hope u didn't change too many system files ^^
Hope it works.
Grts,
BartAertgeerts

Thanks, I ended up restoring my Nandroid backup which was taken just before I attempted to flash the keyboard.

Set default lock screen on VillainROM 3.4

Hey XDA,
My question is, how to enable the default lock screen on VillainROM 3.4.
Like this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This one:
Or this one:
Please say to me if this is possible, and what file(s) i need for the process.
Thx for reading!
i also would like to know this
Navigate to the folder where adb is installed using cmd
1. adb remount
2. adb shell
3. su
4. cd /system/app
5. rm HtcLockScreen.apk
6. reboot
Let me know if this works
They are the correct commands yes, some newer 2.1 builds currently have a problem with this lock screen though so nandroid first.
Hopefully a fix for this should be out soon.
Edit: no need to "SU" in adb remounting is enough
ok thx guys!
i'll try this!
hmmm i updated my phone to Villian 5.03.
and it doesn't work..
u can delete htclockscreen.apk
after that it f*cks up the lockscreen..
there was a fix for that, i tryed that, but then the phone crashes..
The fix will need to be ported over to be compatible with our GSM heroes. I have sent the info to Nathan and he should include it in his next VillainRom
ok thx for that!!
and btw. am i the only one, with the problem that the alarm doesn't work!?!?
it just won't ring :S
Oh should have said.
HTC Clock (alarm clock part) is linked to HTC Lock Screen.
If you remove the lock screen you will need to install the vanilla clock app or get a 3rd party alarm app from the market.
yes yes, i already red that..
but it doesn't work, it just locks up my phone, when i apply the fix for the messed up lockscreen.
but the alarm also doesn't work after a clean install(full wipe+install rom)
When things don't work after a full wipe and reinstall I suggest you install a 1.5 rom that works (stock rooted or modaco) run that for a few hours then try to reinstall a 2.1 rom and hopefully all should be back to working.
If however you install a 1.5 and alarm still does not work then we need to find out what is causing it.

CWM issues on FroYo...

No matter which FroYo Release I try, "Fix-permissions" doesnt seem to work properly. Regardless of what i try, it only fixes permissions for the CWM app itself. So its shows two lines of text for CWM, and its done. Any one know why this is happening?
Ps- I've tried completely un installing CWM and deleting its folders and everything associated with it but to no avail. I'm out of ideas...

}
I take it that everyones ClockWork's "Fix-Permissions" works perfectly fine? Any input would be nice. THanks
You need to get into the actual clockwork recovery and fix perm there. So, open ROM manager, select reboot into recovery, select re-install packages, clockwork recovery should boot up, then goto advance options at the bottom of the list and select, then you should see the fix perm option about half way down the list, select it and your done.
I have the same problem. I'm thinking it's to do with CWM needing to be updated for the vibrant. Since there is no current 2.2 official/supported release it will not be updated as of yet. I haven't contacted koush(dev), but I'm sure he knows.
Even if you do go directly into CWR you can select it, but it doesn't seem to scroll the script...
I am using the stock Froyo eugene posted and I am not having any problems with ROM manager or CWR. I have done two backups with ROM man and wiped cache, dalvik cache, and fix permissions in CWR and it worked. I even got the fix permissions log on my SD card.
This must be it, because same thing happens if i try from the recovery. Is there anyone that can get fix-permissions to actually run the entire script? Would be nice to know if its a select few, everyone, or just us two

Im also experiencing this. Im running AOSPish froyo.

[Q] How to make update.zips for CWM for mini pro?

Hey guys,
I really want to make a theme for slades rom but i just dont get how to make a flashable update.zip. Additionaly the new CWM requires edify-scripting -.- and here my update-zip-packager doesn't work anymore..for xrecovery it was just awesome..i already tried some amend2edify-converter, but that did not work either
So my question is, how can i make (or edit) an update.zip which can be flashed with the new CWM 3?
Thanks in advance,
nitro
i faced a similar situation today itslelf..n was ultimately forced to download the cwm version of slade's rom v5..
well if u just want to edit and replace apps n stuff, that can just b done in the sam way as any xrecovery rom...i used winrar to add n remove stuff from the rom n it works gr8
okay, thats an idea..but i want to make a theme..which means a flashable update.zip-file..does somebody know with what programm i can make such update.zips?
@ slade: how do you create your update.zips, e.g. the hotfixes with some single files?
Why don't you take a CWM package an unpack it via winrar/any other software? I'm quite sure there is an absolutely common folder structure following more or less the system folder structure and maybe there is one or there are more XML files in order to change some things in source files (e.g. change values in those *.hw files or whatever they are called) and to tell CWM what to do exactly.
As soon as you're done you simply zip it again (watch the folder structure).
***EDIT***
Ok, forget what I just posted. Had a look at one of slades zips and it's a little bit more than just an XML. Might not be smart to change stuff within that META-INF folder without knowing what you do.

[req] Please Test.

This is the ICS like Phone.apk.
I need a tester who has a Galaxy 5 to test this and report to me through PM.
Please.
Just flash it through CWM.
hi..
please 2 things: can you provide a screenshot of what it should like to?
and I think you should also provide a CWM file to revert to standard phone.apk (stock or Cyano roms)
Here is what is written at the original thread:
Many of you who have tested ICS, would have definetely liked the ICS dialer.
Well, Guess what? It's now available for CM7 too!!
Phone.Apk is attached.
Please Follow the Instructions well.
UPDATE: Users are having some problems using this. It is still in alpha mode. Still modding it to erase all problems. Support Developer or Tester would be nice. PM me if you would like to be involved. To revert back, use the phone.apk from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29069305&postcount=22. It can be installed using the terminal method or just copying it to system\app in Airplane Mod.
Installation Procedure:
Copy the file in the root directory on your sd card.
Rename the file to Phone.apk
turn on airplane mode.
Make sure ur system partition is set to R/W mode
open terminal from your phone.
type the following commands, one by one.
su
cp /sdcard/Phone.apk /system/app
chmod 644 /system/app/Phone.apk
reboot
Now, when you place a call or receive one, You will have the ics like dialer.
NOTE : You need to enable in-call touch UI. To enable, go to Settings > Call Settings > enable In-call touch UI.

Question Realme GT missing basic apps

Hello everybody
First time poster thanks for the help in advance. Please note I am a total novice when it comes to anything like rooting or unlocking boot but i can follow instruction if you leave them.
I bought my phone from Ali express global launch event. When I received the phone i noticed some basic functionality is missing for example : Gallery, File explorer, CAMERA APP. and so on.
It doesnt make sense, my camera works through whatsapp and such but no dedicated app.
I am starting to think the firmware was faulty. Waited for few updates hoping it will sort itself out, but no luck.
Now I am considering installing stock firmware but I have no idea where to start. I have downloaded few roms "different versions?" but i don't know how install them on my phone. They are on the root of the phone storage but i assume i must root my phone to get fast boot ? because i tried restarting with holding volume down, after language selection i can chose between wipe and reboot no update option.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you use the App Drawer view, you may find the missing icons there.
In settings/app-management/app-list you will find all installed apps.

Only found files in app list but I can't open it. Other apps have options of : open, uninstall, and force stop but not this app. For the other apps like camera and gallery they are not there. Do you think a fresh install of stock ROM will help or no ?
If the apps are not displayed in your app list, the best thing you can do is do a factory reset.
Which firmware version do you have on the GT ?
The GT was in its original packaging and shrink-wrapped when you received it ?
Ya it was brand new. Bought from Realme official store.
I see your firmware is A 16 mine is A13 but when I check for update it says am on the latest version?!
Also my Google backup is greyed out so factory reset will set me back big time.
