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
UPDATE: Hotaru has made some updates to the KB apk. this wont work right off the bat though for NC.
Step 1. Download the latest keyboard from here.
Step 1: You must rename you existing GB keyboard or remove it.
Step 2: Then use Root Explorer OR adb push to copy the file to /system/app
Step 3. Click on the gbkb.apk and install it
Step 4. Use Root Explorer and come back to /system/app and modify permissions of the apk file like this
Code:
[SIZE=4][COLOR=Blue]
Read Write Execute
User X X
Group X
Others X
[/COLOR][/SIZE]
Step 5: Reboot your NC and select the new keyboard in NCTools
Detailed steps for installing gingerbread keyboard on NC
A big thanks to hotaru for porting the keyboard to 2.1, ne0fhyk for the keyboard app & nookDev team for all tips..
This post is written on the following assumptions:
1. You have Nook Color
2. You have a firmware 1.0.1 (1.0.0 may work, but i haven't tested this keyboard with it)
3. Rooted it with Autonooter for 1.0.1 - BTW if you used Auto-Nooter, you will have Droid-X keyboard as default NOT the Stock Keyboard.
Step 1. I would recommend that you download the gingerbread 2.1 keyboard (gbkb.apk) from hotaru as there may be updates..
Step 2. --OPTIONAL-- Install Keyboard Manager developed by ne0fhyk (You really don't need this since Autonooter has NCTools app which can be used for the same purpose. the only advantage this tool has is that you can use 2 different keyboards for portrait & landscape ;P)
To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer
Step 3. Backup, remove & install Gingerbread keyboard ( You dont have to remove your old keyboard if you have the keyboard manager installed. so u can choose between autonooter droidx kb if required)
Open your command prompt or console and remount /system as writable.
HTML:
adb shell
#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
#exit
Copy the default keyboard (LatinIME.apk) from /system/app as a backup, as we will be removing this file shortly.
HTML:
adb pull /system/app/LatinIME.apk LatinIME.apk
Transfer your keyboard APK to /system/app
HTML:
adb push gbkb-2.1.apk /system/app
Now we have to Remove LatinIME.apk
HTML:
adb shell
# cd /system/app
# rm LatinIME.apk
# exit
Alternatively, you can rename the LatinIME.apk if you do not wish to delete it, as this will enable you to freely switch back to the stock keyboard layout.
HTML:
adb shell
# cd /system/app
# mv LatinIME.apk KeyboardBackup.apk
# exit
Now Reboot NOOKcolor & enjoy Gingerbread keyboard...
HTML:
adb reboot
See the screenshot below
Once you bring the keyboard up touch the setting button (2nd from lower left) and you'll see the settings screen. you can switch to the droidx keyboard from here but not back. Vibrate dont work yet...
UPDATE: For people having trouble with the keyboard
When you followed the steps and removed the LatinIME.apk without backing it up, you can still get from the post below. After you "push" LatinIME back into /system/app, reboot the NC & follow the instructions (THANKS TO wtd966)
Reinstall the gbkb-2.1.apk using root explorer and it'll work. Here are the steps:
HTML:
Step 1. Using Root Explorer Navigate to /system/app.
Step 2. Click on your GingerBread keyboard apk: gbkb-2.1.apk
Step 3. Click install.
Once re-installed long click in a text field untill you get the option to select input method.
Re-select GingerBread keyboard.
very cool will give it a go after dinner

Woot Got it working thanks to the guide
Thanks my dude!
Worked great for me once I learned to follow directions and not pretend like I knew what I was doing... I love it, great keyboard and doesnt go into full screen mode when in landscape. Much appreciated!
Thanks so much!
I do plan to use this keyboard, but just a quick question--would this work for any keyboard .apk, such as Shapewriter or Swiftkey?
Well I am not so lucky. I followed your instructions to the letter, but now I have no keyboard at all. When I open Keyboard manager the only keyboard listed is in fact GingerBread .... so I check the box, but when I go to type inside any application NO KEYBOARD shows up at all. And I did not back up LatinIME.apk either so I am screwed.
What can I do ?????

Sorry for these questions. but it'll help me solve your problem
1. I want to make sure that you did not INSTALL the apk but did an "adb push" to /system/app
2. did u enable r/w instructions for the keyboard manager?
3. the keyboard can also be changed with "NookColor Tools". If you rooted with AutoNooter, you can see this app
4. always reboot after the process.
5. also can you please let me know what firmware version u have on your NC?

I had the same problem. I reinstalled the apk using root explorer and it worked. Maybe it will work for you. Here are the steps:
Navigate to /system/app.
Click on your GingerBread keyboard apk: gbkb-2.1.apk
Click install.
Once re-installed long click in a text field untill you get the option to select input method.
Re-select GingerBread keyboard.
Good Luck!!
may want to sticky this because i was having the same issue as well
Thanks for the.heads up up, i love this keyboard on my evo... What was your starting point prior to install? Freshly auto nootered 1.01? Xboxes auto script? I think some of the files might be different for those with the modded droid x kb.

Just saw a post on XDA elsewhere by hotaru where he posted the GB keyboard for 2.1
Was able to install it and am putting it thro the works.
here are the steps... PLEASE FOLLOW THEM unless u wanna screw up the keyboard. no harm thou, you can always recover.
1. Go HERE and download the keyboard 2.1 - THANKS Hotaru
2. Now go HERE and follow the instructions to install the Keyboard Manager. This is a very cool manager as u can manage the landscape & portrait separately
3. Now head over to NookDevs and backup your LatinIME.apk as described and push the apk you downloaded from step 1.
4. reboot & enjoy
I will write a detailed step-by-step instructions in a bit but wanted to share the excitement..

you're right.. no need for the KBM... old habits die hard .. i've also mentioned NCtools in my post..
Great got it working, one question.
I got it working, but every time the keyboard changes from landscape to portrait a pop up says
"Exception caught: java.lang.SecurityException: using null token requires permission android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"
Is this normal or do I need to change permissions on something?

kevin.. i recommend that you start from scratch.. i.e. restore to stock firmware and use autonooter.
1. not sure how you rooted ur NC? did u use autonooter?
2. make sure u have superuser pack in your NC.
Use Morelocale 2 from Market for additional languages in bulds that lacks your language.. I found my, serbian, lang there. Great work.

Thanks. But you do know a way to fix arabic support? Eventhough I can chose arabic, the letters are detached.
Thanks
I applied the following to AmeriCanAndroid r3.06 and it worked for me. Try it and tell us if it works for other roms.
For Arabic letters messing up at the beginning of some words check out the following links that fixed the problem for me. Just follow the instructions carefully and good luck.
Arabizer files: (You will need to recopy these files after each rom update)
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=300641
Then install any Arabic supported keyboard of your choosing. MultiLing Gingerbread Keyboard with the Arabic plugin is my favorite at the moment but this one is also good:

Thanks man. But i was not able to push those files for some reason. I had root.
Any idea of a flashable ZIP or maybe a simple APK?
Before I continue please note that I had nothing to do with the development of any of these or other files. I just found them and they worked on my device to fix the discussed problem. Therefore the best advice you can get would come directly from the developers of the files themselves.
That being said, I will describe what I did in order to get them to work for me.
1) follow the link to the ce4arab website (in my previous post) and register (free) in order for the download files to be visible and downloadable. Note: website is completely in Arabic.
2) Download and extract the 3 files in the compressed file. When you extract the files they will be in folders that refer to the exact folders to be moved to on the phone's root. For example root/system/framework/framework.jar
3) Running Android, connect your HD2 to the computer and copy these files to the phone's SD card (doesn't really matter where). Then disconnect your device.
4) Now run Root Explorer (download from the market or somewhere else) which will enable you to move these 3 files from your SD to the phone's root. Each file goes to the specific folder on the root. Note: Just to be on the safe side, I backed up my existing root files (just copied them somewhere on the SD card) before I overwrote them with these modified files.
5) Now reboot and install your preferred Arabic enabled keyboard.
Note: after any rom update you will need to repeat this procedure again.
Thanks goes out to all the great developers for this great device.
Ya I know that, but I simply wasnt able to move the file using root explorer because there was already existing files and for some reason, I was not able to overwrite the files (although I have root).
Thanks anyways.
I really don't know why you are unable to overwrite the files. The only thing I can think of is that Root Explorer doesn't have superuser permission on your device. So it is stopping you from overwriting system files. Different roms deal with this differently so first try the general superuser permission fixes (google these) and if that doesn't work, include the name of the rom you are using into your google search words. I am running AmeriCanAndroid 3.06 and Root Explorer was granted superuser permission automatically. So I am guessing that your rom handles this differently.
Note: Superuser is an app that enables you to grant special permissions to specific apps. It should be in your app tray.
I'm running newtoroot's senseless 4.0.3 and am loving it. The one problem that was bugging me was the fact that there was no dictionary accompanied with the keyboard, and it would say every word that you typed is incorrect. Well I found a fix.
1. Download these two files: LatinImeGoogle.apk & LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk
2. Put the apk's onto your sd card
3. Copy the apk's
4. Navigate to /system/app and paste the apk's into the directory
5. Rename (or delete) the file titled "LatinIME.apk"
6. You now have a working dictionary for your keyboard!

Spell check does not work with the Russian language, with only five standard languages.
Additional dictionaries can only work correctly with auto-correction
Apparently, the spell checker uses the same dictionaries as the auto-correction, but to check the spelling was not announced additional languages

In ES, use the menu system to remount as R/W then try again. Even with root you're still limited to a read-only file system unless you do that.

is this the reason why swype doesnt give me a choice of words anymore?

3. Grab the all for whatever you want from wherever you have it, and just copy it into you /system/app/ folder
4. Re-name the "Launcher.apk" application in the /system/app/ to "Launcher1.apk"

There is no need to rename the launcher.apk. After another launcher is installed you will be given the choice of which launcher you want to set as default, you can change back to stock launcher by clearing the defaults of the custom launcher. Better to not change system files if you dont have to. After you move the new launcher to system/app folder change the permissions to rw-r--r--.

Alright,
1st, device spoofer will cause BOOTLOOPS!!!! so don't buy!
(I learned this the hard way)
so this isn't really a mod but if you boot-looped your device by messing with build.prop than here is a quick fix:
1.Make sure you have adb set up nice for your fire by following the amazon developers @ https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/getting-started.html AND that you have the orignal build.prop file
Make sure you read the entire page verbatim, especially if your a mac user, because all the answers are either on the page or in the links
2.You either will need to have temp root or have already been rooted.
3. Make sure the device is actually reaching adb, check this by waiting until the sparkly kindle fire logo comes up, and then doing adb devices
4. Down to Business: Turn on the fire and wait until you reach sparkly kindle fire logo.
5.Navigate to platform-tools folder and place your original build.prop file there
6.type
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv build.prop /system/build.prop
exit
exit
reboot
7. If you already kept a backup of the original build.prop file on the device, than change the mv line to
Code:
mv /system/build.prop.bak /system/build.prop
-->and there ya go, post if you have problems

Hi,
Will this replace this awful carousel thing ? And therefore, redirect the home button ?
Sorry, i'm not a native english speaker, i don't understand the "Grab the all for whatever you want from wherever you have it".
Does it mean that i copy the new launcher's apk file to /system/app/ ? And do i have to install the new launcher ?

Download a launcher from the play store
With a file manager move the apk from /data/app/ folder (It will be named differently than you are used to, usually has the company or developers name instead) to /system/app/ folder then reboot.
No need to change permissions as they are the same coming from /data/app/ folder

Are there any alternates to the soft button bar like a stock jb one or something? Or can we not do that because of the odex? I know it's systemui.apk I tried installing a cm9 systemui.apk on my kf2 and system/app rwrr but on reboot all I got was black screen. I backed it up and restored it with adb so I know what i'm doing... for the most part. Sorry for an y random spaces or periods... swype doesn't like furious tapping on the kf2. Needless to say, I have swype as default keyboard and launcher pro as launcher.
Well, I tried the same wpthing with a similar result. My best guess is that it works off of framework res so...until there are custom ROMs we have to wait. But, I've been toying with an idea: if the favorite button on the saftbar was rewritten to display recent apps, e.g. that it always displays 8 apps from data list x, and data list x is a list constantly updated saying the most recent app. Then the app could be themed minorly to have the window over window PNG and voila: a little bit better stock ROM. My problem is that I'm not a coder of any kind, so its a slow process.

I could try to edit it for you. I don't have a Kindle Fire HD, so you'll have to upload me the framework-res.apk and test it for me. Make sure you backup before you test it though.

Has anyone figured out or tried to replace or disable stock search and get Google search to work. I've tried a few things with no luck. I would also like Google now.
For Google search, it's really tedious.
For it to work you have to rename the stock search to iforgothenameofit.apk.bak
Than you have to grab the Google search app from jelly bean gapps via goo.I'm, and push it to the system/app folder with permissions rw-r--r--
Than you have to push all the framework files, permission files, basically any other non-apk file to the folder of which it belongs.(you can get this from the whole zip file that you got from goo.I'm
MAKE SURE THAT EVERY FILE YOU PUT IN THE SYSTEM DIRECTORY HAD PERMISSION RW-R--R--
*This can actually be done with a root explorer fairly easily
