0. To do the next the steps you need to install Android SDK and connect your phone via usb. (maybe you have to enable usb-debugging)
1. Download "LatinIME.zip" and extract it. You should get two files: LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex.
2. Open a console on your pc (cmd in Windows) and type:
Code:
adb remount
3. If you want, you can remove the current keyboard. (Maybe there is not enough storage left on you device, then you have to delete the old keyboard)
In my case it was HTC_IME. Type to the console:
Code:
adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_IME.odex
4. Now you can copy the old android keyboard to your phone. cd to the dir where LatinIME is stored and type to the console:
Code:
adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app
adb shell sync
adb shell reboot
5. Have fun

nice guide. also you dont need to remove the old one. you can have multiple keyboards on the device. after you install the new one, you can select which one you want to use by long-pressing a text field and selecting the desired keyboard.
also be careful about pushing odex files from another rom, it can cause you problems. you dont really need the odex files you can just install the .apk and that's fine.
to clarify the commands you listed should be done through cmd prompt on your pc, those are not "console" commands you enter through recovery console...

Ok, cmd in windows...

Can you provide another download link for the "LatinIME.apk"? Can't get the existing one to work

Ok, try this:

Hey. Im having trouble doing this. When i try to delete the htc_ime.apk it says it doesn't exist. Then when I try to push the latinime.apk it says that the device is full.

You hae to find out wich keyboard is installed currently. It should be a file with "ime" in its name. Try
Code:
adb shell ls /system/app
to get a list of files in /system/app (on your phone)

Thanks for answering my question. I got the HTC_IME.apk and got the latinIME.apk on. Did the sync command and also rebooted but I can't seem to activate the keyboard when the phone boots up again? Any suggestions? Thanks

I'm having the same problem... I'm using the RAv1.6.2 - DONUT ROM.

Works for me with Amon_RA v1.6.2
I got LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex from the HTC Donut image. Uncompress the system.img with unyaffs, LatinIME files are in /system/app
Amon_RA's packed the phone pretty full so you'll have to delete some things. Do an adb shell df to see how much space you have, LatinIME.apk is 4012357 bytes and LatinIME.odex is 80624 bytes, so you need that much space. I removed QuickOffice_blah.apk and Mail.apk (Work Mail) because I have no use for them, you will have to delete some different apps if you use those.
Then I did adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app and adb push LatinIME.odex /system/app, then the sync and reboot.
Long press in any text field to choose the Input Method, Android Keyboard appears there next to Touch Input and Better Keyboard (which I also have installed from Market).

Works!
Thanks Jamie. I tried it again and got it working with RA-v1.6.2. Thanks for the tip to remove other applications that are unused. How come I didn't think of that? haha.

If you are removing HTC_ime I think the app clicker is associated with it and can be removed also.
172312 Clicker.apk
26664 Clicker.odex

ok ! this is arabic/english keyboard from STC ROM (KSA provider)
and that from ver 1.5 (cupcake)... can any budy install it on 1.6(DONUT) ?
or how to make it compatible with donut ?
attached file has .apk + .odex + .so >> .so file required in /system/lib
Regards,

hello pleaz when I write adb remount it says "remount failed: Operation not permitted" but my G1 is root
What must I make?

Heya I have a problem.. I actually already have a latinIME.apk on my /system/app dir but its for the Multi-Touch Keyboard. It came installed like that on my phone... If I want to put on the android KB do I just rename the latinIME for the Multitouch then push this latinIME to the phone?

Maybe yes ;-)
You should make a copy of the original file. If it doesn't work, you can copy it back. If you only change the keyboard apk, the phone coldn't get bricked (imho).
Regards
Matz

K I have everything working but it REFUSES to realize that the LatinIME.apk is there... When I ls it it shows it is there but nothing makes it show.. .Tried syncs and reboots. all done on shell with su on. Phone is rooted... Its just being stubborn ill keep trying though!

thumbs up to this be awesome! did a froyo leak upgrade on captivate and lame samsung removed the droid keyboard! saved my day!
I used super manager to move files around on phone, free from market. must have root!

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! Greetings from Italy
Now I have all I want from my tattoo!

No good (for me)
didn't work on rooted HTC Glacier with custom ROM (MIUI)
Reboots and everything goes smooth, it's just not there.

SOLVED - Theming HtcClockWidget.apk

Phone: Froyo 2.2 with root and S-OFF
I am trying to theme the clock widget with no luck. All I am trying to do is replace the flip digits, AM, PM, and background with identical sized graphics. I have tried replacing them with WinZip and 7Zip. I am signing them with the test signature which works with every other type of apk file.
I mount the system partition and push the new version with adb and when I restart all I get is a blank widget. It also shows up in the widgets list as something like 01db as the name.
So, I suspect the signing is the problem. Could be some signature check within the widget causing it to fail.
Any thoughts?
If anyone has this widget working with a black background and silver digits I would be just as happy.
I'm afraid I can't be much help at the moment, since I'm away from my computer, but here is a mod from the hero forums that I used to use on my eris. It'll be mdpi instead of hdpi, but taking a look at its files might help you out.

EDIT: You might also try making a metamorph or update.zip to apply the new widget. Sometimes that works better than an adb install.

Thanks. I will give the update.zip approach a shot.
Have you tried pushing the modified apk file without signing it first?

Actually no I haven't. Worth a shot Thanks
Well, that was weird... Pushing it unsigned worked. I never thought to try that since any add on apk's I have done needed to be signed.
Thank you
So, to summarize:
Code:
1) Open apk with 7zip and leave it open
2) Extract res folder to desktop
3) Modify graphics or whatever (I only did graphics)
4) Drag the res folder over the zip window and drop
5) Exit 7zip
6) Go into recovery mode and mount /system
7) Connect phone to pc
8) Open cmd and cd to your sdk folder where you put the apk
9) Push to original folder (in this case adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app) on phone in recovery mode
Happiness
Awesome, glad you got it to work. The way I usually do it is to push any apk unsigned first, and if I have problems try it again but sign first.

I guess I just got hung up on signing since I have never had luck with unsigned. However, this was my first attempt at a built in apk.
Thanks again
Just incase anyone likes the silver on black numbers for their clock like I do I decided to post my mods to HtcClockWidget.apk
This is based on the stock 2.2 widget but may work on 2.1 ROM's
Requires being rooted so just use adb to push it to /system/app folder
Back up your original just incase you want to go back

Not sure how to help. I just boot into hboot start, recovery mode, go to mount and mount system then open the cmd prompt and do the adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app and all goes well. Have done it multiple times with changes
I am assuming you have the USB drivers installed and not HTC Sync.
When I ran SRS 2.5.2 it had the MOD for the silver clock widget, I now have 3.1 RC3 but when I try your method, "adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app" it uninstalls the stock one but does not install the new one. I have to flash a Nandroid backup to restore it. What am I doing wrong? I really liked the one from 2.5.2 and want it again.
Update.zip

Yeah, tried that. No good. I uninstalled the original and still no good. Now I have to reflash again. Any other ideas?
i pushed the file from post number 9 into system app and it shows up as being in system/app in root explorer but i no longer have it in my widgets list. i even tried pushing the old one back and i still have no clock in my widget list. what do i do?

I can understand it not working if you are on other than a stock 2.2 ROM since it is from the stock. What I don't understand is why pushing you original backup back isn't working.
Can you reinstall it from your Nand backup?

[GUIDE]Enable more homescreens on default launcher

In this guide I will show you how to enable more than the defaulft 5 homescreens
First of all, you'll need Apk Manager, this can be downloaded here.
Extract the zip to a folder you like, I'll use C:\Apk Manager\ in this guide!
Download the Home.apk from this post, note: it's for the .145 fw only.
Copy the Home.apk to C:\Apk Manager\place-apk-here-for-modding\
After you've done that, open Script.bat.
Select option 9.
Now the Home.apk will be decompiled.
When it's done decompiling, go here C:\Apk Manager\projects\Home.apk\res\values.
Open integers.xml with Notepad and go line 10. Will look like this:
Code:
<integer name="number_of_desktop_panes">5</integer>
You can change that number 5 to any number you like, let's use 9:
Code:
<integer name="number_of_desktop_panes">9</integer>
Open values/styles.xml and change line 16:
Code:
<style name="Layout.ButtonContainer">
to this
Code:
<style name="Layout.ButtonContainer" parent="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar">
Save and close the files. Now go back to the Apk Manager tool and select option 11, the apk will now be compiled again. It will ask you this:
Is this a system apk (y/n)
Answer with y and press enter.
After that you'll get another question:
Aside from the signatures, would you like to copy
over any additional files that you didn't modify
from the original apk in order to ensure least
# of errors (y/n)
Anwer with y again.
Now this will show up:
In the apk manager folder u'll find
a keep folder. Within it, delete
everything you have modified and leave
files that you haven't. If you have modified
any xml, then delete resources.arsc from that
folder as well. Once done then press enter
on this script.
Go here C:\Apk Manager\keep and delete resources.arsc.
Now go back to the Apk Manager tool and press enter.
In C:\Apk Manager\place-apk-here-for-modding you'll find this: unsignedHome.apk. Rename it to Home.apk and push it to your device with adb.
Adb commands:
Code:
adb push Home.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
$su
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
#busybox cp -R /sdcard/Home.apk /system/app/
#sync
#reboot
After the restart you should have 9 homescreens

Now all I need is landscape rotation ...
Cool stuff. What will happen to my existing homescreens and all the widgets and icons on them after doing this? Will they get wiped?
And what about the overall performance? Any "lags" during games with so many homescreens?
Edit: Tried it, but got a message after starting the script.bat, saying that i have no java?! I have Java installed on my system. What should i do?

For some reason some widgets disappear, the best thing to do is clear data with Titanium backup and design your homescreens again
I didn't noticed any lag at all
Uhm, you might need Android SDK to be installed on your pc.. I could also compile the apk for you
I think i have the SDK on my netbook, but its about 100 km away. If you could compile it, i wouldnt say no
How many screens would you like to have?
I would like to try it with 9
Then you could just download the package from the first post
Oh, hehe, yes, um, i think i missed that one
I have root. Do i have to use adb push, or can i copy/paste the file to my device?
It's probably possible to just copy/paste it, but I prefer using adb
Maybe i did something wrong?! I copied the apk, but i played around with the permissions. After reboot the homescreens were empty, but not 9, just 5. So i checked the permissions of the old home.apk (did a backup before copy). I took the same permissions and did a reboot again. Now the phone boots up, i can unlock it, but there is no homescreen. All i see is the notofication-bar. What can i do?
Edit: I can access my apps and data using my WaveLauncher. I try to set other permissions. Maybe it will work.
Edit2: Ok, i set permissions like every other app within /system/app. Now i can access the homescreen again. Its empty, and i have 5 screens. But when i try to add a widget on my "main" homescreen, it says that there is not enough space. So i think the old widgets are still there, but i cant see/remove them. What can i do?

happened to me before, stop the process and clear the data
Didn't work for me, couldn't get it to install, kept getting persmission denied through adb, despite the fact I'm rooted!
Could someone upload a version with 3 homescreens please?
Also, in the res/xml/default_settings_apptray -> could someone change the default sort to az instead of free! This means it should automatically sort it alphabetically and will remember it on restart...a bug in the current build.
Thanks guys
Niall
Works for me now. I did a complete new flash and root and now building up everything from scratch. Feels better now

You cant flash this through recovery because its not a zip file. Best thing to do is get a program like androidcommander and copy the file over manually. (the program does the adb commands for you)
the file needs to go in system/app and cant be installed like a regular apk.
and you don't need an unlocked bootloader, just full root access

Sorry,but could you explain further? I have root, and copy file to system/app wit root explorer, and cant install it...And I lost system bar now...Any help?
I can't get this to work either.
Androidcommander says I don't have root access even though I'm rooted, and the FAQ infers that I'll have to wipe my phone completely with a new flash and a modified boot.img to get Root Access (which would also require me to learn about editing ROM images).
I did get Busybox though, and I backed up my SystemUI.apk from before... after killing it off from the system/app folder I noticed I can at least restore the old one by installing it as a normal application... but getting this new one simply hasn't been working for me.
Ugh... patience is wearing thin.

Boom, sweet victory! I got it working... just had to drive myself near insanity with Android Terminal Emulator.
Added BusyBox to the list of SuperUser Access apps, got Terminal Emulator from the Android Market, moved the SystemUI.apk to the root of my SDCARD and entered the following commands:
su
cd /sdcard/
mount -o remount rw /system/ (somehow [mount -o remount,rw /system/] didn't work because of the comma)
cp -f SystemUI.apk /system/app
...and now I can do something I've been wanting to do for ages... NotificationToggle... get the **** off my system
Got it to work through insecure adb...What i did was install insecure adb via the apk (this cuases your phone to reboot after installing) , typed in "adb remount" in cmd and the simply used this command: adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk.
NOTE - You will have to put the system ui.apk into the same folder as adb and browse to that folder using command prompt.
I'm fairly new to this stuff so no idea if what I did is correct...BUT it is working for me now

[THeme] ICS Blue [THEME][WIP]

Theme :
I come from a Development group called Team Whiskey, I primarily made Roms and Themes for Samsung phones before, but I know have the Atrix 2. Here is my first ICS based theme
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
IF anyone wants to install it and can follow brief instructions here you go:
( Sidenote - you need to have ADB installed, you can either install the full Android SDK or copy it from Super One Click)
In a command prompt you want to use:
1.) adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard
2.) adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard
then
3.) adb shell
4.) su
5.) mount remount,rw /dev/null /system
6.) cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
7.) cp /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app (the case is sensitive)
8.) rm /system/app/SystemUI.odex
9.) reboot
The SystemUI.apk has been deodexed. I have an almost working script for our CWM, so going forward, we can a simple install instead of the tedious manual stuff.
DOWNLOADs:
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
Please enjoy, and if you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I am still working on our Extended Power menu and the Settings menu( which is the power widget like you see in the screen shot), if you want the unfinished Settings.apk please pm me for it. Like I said, it works flawlessly, but the icons are a little weird.
Future:
16 Lockscreens, I have 9 of them working.
Great to have you aboard! Some very nice work. What about notification toggles? How hard would they be to implement?
Not hard at all actually! You know what is funny about that, all of the Samsung roms have the toggles, and we spent days and days ripping them out to give us this look the motorola is going here ! I was planning on doing the same style as miui on that, you know the scrollable one. I will work on that after the lockscreens.
Awesome man. Looks perfect with my setup.
How did you remove at&t from the notification bar? I have tried finding strings.XML and can't..

followed the above to the T. Got a Read only error. Changed RW to RO in the cmd prompt and then was able to successfully push SystemUI.apk to system/app. I did it before through root explorer the same way and it just kept force closing. Just rebooted and it all works now.
Thanks given for this!

Theme :
I come from a Development group called Team Whiskey, I primarily made Roms and Themes for Samsung phones before, but I know have the Atrix 2. Here is my first ICS based theme
IF anyone wants to install it and can follow brief instructions here you go:
( Sidenote - you need to have ADB installed, you can either install the full Android SDK or copy it from Super One Click)
In a command prompt you want to use:
1.) adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard
2.) adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard
then
3.) adb shell
4.) su
5.) mount remount,rw /dev/null /system
6.) cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
7.) cp /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app (the case is sensitive)
8.) rm /system/app/SystemUI.odex
9.) reboot
The SystemUI.apk has been deodexed. I have an almost working script for our CWM, so going forward, we can a simple install instead of the tedious manual stuff.
DOWNLOADs:
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
Please enjoy, and if you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I am still working on our Extended Power menu and the Settings menu( which is the power widget like you see in the screen shot), if you want the unfinished Settings.apk please pm me for it. Like I said, it works flawlessly, but the icons are a little weird.
Future:
16 Lockscreens, I have 9 of them working.

Looks great so far! Would you mind including detailed instructions for backing up the existing files as well? Don't mind doing things via ADB, but I'm far from being an expert.

ADB pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
ADB pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
ADB pull /system/app/SystemUI.odex
anyone can post the original framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and systemUI.odex??
i accidentally replace mine by copy ICS blue theme into sd card.
For some reason I always have a grey circle with a plus in the middle of it on the top right of my status bar. What's with that? Other than that my only complain is the clear button when you pull down the status bar. Seems to have a little extra room in the box under the word clear.
Updates?

This is for Atrix2 why would you try this on the Bionic? But I guess that is how we find out what works and what doesn't...carry on

I got you. Unzip and push.
Corrected instructions for adb. Theme looks great btw, thanks.
In a command prompt you want to use:
1.) adb push framework-res.apk /mnt/sdcard
2.) adb push SystemUI.apk /mnt/sdcard
then
3.) adb shell
4.) su
5.) mount -o rw,remount /dev/null /system
6.) cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
7.) cp /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app (the case is sensitive)
8.) rm /system/app/SystemUI.odex
9.) reboot

Did your phone soft-brick? Or did you try restoring a backup?
Since installing this I noticed I'm getting "phantom" icons in my notification bar, almost like a burn in on television. Tilt the phone to extreme angles to see them better, can anyone confirm?

Yea they do disappear. Seems like you'll get a new text message update or whatever, clear it from the status bar, it goes phantom, then disappears. Other than that I have a grey circle with a plus in the middle that's always at the right of my status bar.

[APP][MOD][JB][CM10] Modified LatinIME.apk for Mms Newlines & Tablet Number Mod

Features:
Mms Carriage Returns
Want to insert new lines in a SMS or MMS but still use the AOSP keyboard? and still run a modified Mms.apk?
I've modified the LatinIME.apk from JB/CM10 to show the Carriage Return button when composing an SMS/MMS thru the stock Mms.apk and still retain the smiles.
From my previous Mms.apk mod thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583232), Mms.apks are usually frequently updated from CyanogenMod ROMs or from other modifications like inverted/themed Mms.apks.
The behavior of the LatinIME keyboard now is modified to still enjoy your freedom for other modified Mms.apks

Tablet Mod
Originally, the shortcuts to numeric keys on the first row of the keyboard on most languages and style (QWERTY, QWERTZ, etc) was disabled (as compared to the ICS LatinIME). This modified Mms.apk re-enables those shortcuts.

Version 1: APK | Update Zip
Ok, so this mod will add the next line/return button on the keyboard and let me use the "stock" mms.apk or even an inverted version of the mms.apk?
That would be nice!
Using your previous modded mms.apk I was moving the apk to system/app, change permissions and owner and worked fine.
Now where I can find LatinIME.apk in order to backup it?
Thank you!
Edit:
Ok! Found it in the same folder! /system/app . In order to make the backup, copying it to another location is enough?

Thanks a ton Mikko
Just this morning I downloaded apktool and tried fooling around with latinime.apk. Tried various stuff but failed. What a coincidence that you finish it today.
Thanks again!

Sweet THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!
Updated first post.
Version 1.1 - 20120915
- Tablet Mod - Enable number input shortcut on sw600dp and sw768dp screens.
Note:
The new mod only adds the tablet mod to the LatinIME. No need to update if you are using a phone.
Volume cursor
Is there anyway that you could add a volume button-controlled cursor option to the keyboard apk? I love what you did though It works!
When i try through the recovery i obtain a "install aborded" response... mmhh ?

Seems like the update.zip is broken.. nobody reported this. I'll try to provide a good one but it may take sometime as my ISP is acting weird lately. I keep getting frequent disconnections and result in a corrupted upload. The d-h.st site is down too.
You can use the adb method for the mean time though.
The download links do not seem to be working.

nvm, it is back up now, downloading...
OK, tested and works fine on my Nexus 7.
Any chance you could submit this (or at least the portion with the numeric keys, dunno about the MMS part) to CM so that it could be included in the major ROMs?
Uploaded fixed update.zip

I'll try to submit the patch. I'm new to using git and gerrit. Can't wrap my head around it yet.
Edit:
From here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/22318/
seems like it is already in cm10 but it applies only to 10in tablets.
This is exactly what I was looking for, Thanks!
Now just waiting till someone modifies this to have emojis button on keyboard
i've been looking for this for the past month. thank you.
Hey OP thanks for this you Rock!!!:good::good:
