Installing Chinese Input on JFv1.50 ADP1.5

Source: http://www.sofee.cn/blog/2009/05/01/214/
I figured some of you may be hankering to switch from haykuro's ADP1.5Hr3 to jesusfreke's JFv1.50 ADP1.5, but miss HTC's perfectly working Chinese Input on haykuro's ADP build. Simply installing HTC_CIME.apk gives issues when changing the Chinese input methods to anything other than Handwriting, such as PinYin. This is because you need the dependent libraries in addition to HTC_CIME.apk!
Here's how to do it:
1. Download HTC_CIME.apk and the dependent libraries at http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=fd121d39fa751465c2b435915e8821d7e04e75f6e8ebb871
2. Extract to a folder somewhere
3. Run the following adb code in a command window opened at the directory where the files were extracted:
Code:
adb remount
adb push lib/libcimet9.so /system/lib/libcimet9.so
adb push lib/libimezi.so /system/lib/libimezi.so
adb push lib/libpphwr.so /system/lib/libpphwr.so
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatPYP_CN.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatPYP_CN.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatPYS_CN.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatPYS_CN.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_CN.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_CN.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_HK.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_HK.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_TW.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_TW.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatZYP_TW.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZYP_TW.z8d
adb push lib/zi/Zi8DatZYS_TW.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZYS_TW.z8d
adb install HTC_CIME.apk
4. Go to Settings > Locale & text > Check 'TouchInput Chinese'
5. ???
6. PROFIT!!!

Awesome tip. Thanks for sharing.

God，there are so many files need to add into the system area...
I have not try the Google input method yet.. Is it ok to install without any modification?

thanks will try this when i get home.

Would you by any chance know how to get the HTC TouchInput working? (The non-Chinese one). When I try to install the apk for it onto 1.5, it forcecloses every 10 seconds.

Awesome one. Your help is much appreciated.

Nope, I have never tried any build with that, sorry.

Oh BTW there is one thing I've notice with the HTC-CIME.apk in JF1.5.
If I call out the handwriting interface in horizontal layout, the TouchInput will crash.
Does any buddy meet this problem too? I'm now trying very hard not to write Chinese in horizontal layout now.

Just tried it - facing the same issue. I didn't notice this before since I was using PinYin input all the time.
Does this problem occur on haykuro's ADP1.5Hr3?

lol just load up HTC_CIME.apk via app installer and you have chinese touch input, no need for all those steps...

Yeah, I've been trying to do this too, but IDK what's wrong...

the normal key.apk forcecloses, but the chinese touchinput works (and it has everything key.apk has), so I'm just using the english part of the chinese one

When I press the up-right arrow in the handwriting input screen, it force-closed and will force-close everytime until I uninstalled it. Anyone experienced the same?

if you want to use it just for typing, just load htc_CIME.apk thats what i did, typing is flawless even in landscape, im not Chinese so i don't draw in, tho if they had an english version thatd be awesome.

Thank you!!!!!!

I have no problems opening and using handwriting layout in horizontal. I am running JF ADP1.5 with CIME+libraries from Haykuro 1.5r3. I actually diffed the system folders of JF1.5 and Hr3 myself before I discovered this thread (who needs search when you can just reinvent the wheel, right?) Unlike the OP, I actually also had some additional z8d files in /system/lib. They are not identical to the ones in /system/lib/zi , so they might be important. Here are the steps I carried out (for windows):
Code:
adb push \lib\libimezi.so /system/lib/libimezi.so
adb push \lib\libpphwr.so /system/lib/libpphwr.so
adb push \lib\Zi8DatPYP_CN.z8d /system/lib/Zi8DatPYP_CN.z8d
adb push \lib\Zi8DatPYS_CN.z8d /system/lib/Zi8DatPYS_CN.z8d
adb push \lib\Zi8DatZHA_CN.z8d /system/lib/Zi8DatZHA_CN.z8d
adb push \lib\Zi8DatZHA_HK.z8d /system/lib/Zi8DatZHA_HK.z8d
adb push \lib\Zi8DatZHA_TW.z8d /system/lib/Zi8DatZHA_TW.z8d
adb push \lib\Zi8DatZYP_TW.z8d /system/lib/Zi8DatZYP_TW.z8d
adb push \lib\Zi8DatZYS_TW.z8d /system/lib/Zi8DatZYS_TW.z8d
adb push \lib\zi\Zi8DatPYP_CN.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatPYP_CN.z8d
adb push \lib\zi\Zi8DatPYS_CN.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatPYS_CN.z8d
adb push \lib\zi\Zi8DatZHA_CN.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_CN.z8d
adb push \lib\zi\Zi8DatZHA_HK.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_HK.z8d
adb push \lib\zi\Zi8DatZHA_TW.z8d /system/lib/zi/Zi8DatZHA_TW.z8d

intalling the HTC_CIME.apk doesnt work for JF 1.5 ADP it just overrwrites another app i have no clue why
anyone else get this?

HTC_IME or HTC_CIME Never worked on ION Rom

I'm trying to make HTC_CIME to run...but no matter what i do...
1. adb install and push the lib over..never worked (with check box to put chinese input, but the keyboard is still the normal android keyboard)
2. try using update.zip rename never worked (no check box option, same effect)
3. finally i ended up trying HTC_IME as well...that didn't work as well
I'm soo confuse...is ION rom can't use HTC_IME/CIME?????
I have seen another member install it and work perfectly on daldriod's rom...

anyone figure this one out?

I've got HTC_IME running on my ION. Make sure you have the correct package.
All I did was adb install *.*
and later just installed via ASTRO

How did you install via ASTRO? I try copying the files but it wont let me overwrite. I try installing on daldroid's rom... without luck.

Remeber to adb remount THEN
adb push HTC_IME.apk system/app/HTC_IME.apk
adb push libt9.so system/lib/libt9.so
adb restart/reboot (can never remember)
Once its rebooted open a new sms and long press entry field

[REF] Google Navigation Install on G1 (Dream) Running Cyanogen's ROM (any version)

LATEST AND LAST EDIT TO THIS THREAD:
Download the new maps from Google in the marketplace for Google Navigation. Works Android Phones running the 1.6 platform.
No need to follow these instructions anymore!

#Thought I would make a thread with clarified instructions on installing the new Google navigation on a G1 running Cyanogen's ROM. There have been a lot of #problems with the instructions in the other thread since the files supplied (namely build.prop and build.trout.prop) are not correctly referencing each person's #setup correctly.
#Instead of pushing generic prop files onto your phone, you can simply edit one line in your build.trout.prop file found in the system directory on your G1. #Thanks goes to aad4321 who posted it.
#The edit is simply changing the ro.build.fingerprint line to:
#ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
#You can pull this file, edit, remount, then push back onto your phone to allow you install the new maps.apk. You can find the new maps.apk file in the #attachment. You can also find batch files to do all of the above, but is only guaranteed to work on the 4.2.5 ROM. All other Cyanogen version users can use #these files as well if they replace the build.trout.prop file with their own, and then edit the line as above.
#This method will keep all your apps intact, and not cause any problems with marketplace (protected apps not showing), google voice (force closing), facebook #(force closing), etc as reported in the other thread.
#<EDIT 1>If you get the errror "Device not found," make sure you have USB Debugging enabled in settings (thanks kizer).
#<EDIT 2>After performing a rm command, if you get a statement about the directory or file not existing, all is fine. Those rm commands are just trying to #find all possible places the old maps app could be stored, and so if it doesn't exist, you don't have to worry about it. Just go on to the next step.
#<EDIT 3>If you don't see the navigate function, install google voice.

While I placed the files from his zip directly on my SDcard and used terminal to run the command, Junker's method appears stable. I have Google voice, protected apps in market, and functional Navigation. (can't answer for facebook, since I don't have an account.)
Note to someone who does not know shell commands...don't try and copy the ADB commands they are not the same. Know what you are doing before you do it.
Thanks for the post Junker02

i really dont get why there are like 325435412512 threads for this.
They should be condensed into 1.... and listed as separate options/ways to do it.

I had no connection then realized I didn't have USB debugging enabled.
Seemed to work fine.

I believe the methods listed on the other threads are incorrect, or are more complicated than need to be (and possibly breaks other apps). I only found this method buried in the think-tank post, and though it was suggested for the OP to fix the first post, it never was. Hopefully others who are on Cyanogen's ROM will appreciate the info.

I agree, the other threads over complicate it and cause problems for those who don't know what they are doing. If they learned how to do it themselves there would be less questions and complication.
But then again, now this is just another thread about nav. Really, they should all be locked and something like what is in the first post should be put in the informative links thread.

wanted to thank you for instructions, possibly a better forum wiulda been q&a, as I go there to find answers and help solve some =) other than that this does clear some things up such as the ro line. Like in the other post it says almost same thing but fails to mention the line to change. Etc..etc... this did catch my eye and I was was about to try another method for my buddies phone and this saved me of searching through a thread. My penies, again ty.

I had no problems, but I did it myself:
from scratch (no map mods, orig build.prop):
adb remount
adb pull /system/build.trout.prop build.trout.prop
open it with notepad and edit the line
ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.6/DRC83/14721:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
so that it reads
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
save it
adb push build.trout.prop /system/
adb shell reboot
now reininstall google voice from market and reinstall maps with the new one

ok, even easier, do you have astro?
you can navagate to the /system directory, copy the build.trout file to your sdcard directory. mount your sdcard and edit the file with notepad. copy it back over to the /system directory and reboot
then install voice and maps
or try doing the same from your pc using droid explorer

The ADB app is included in the download. I'm not sure if it will work without the driver installed, but you can give it try and report back. Simply run the two .bat files and it will execute all the necessary ADB commands automatically.
Worse comes to worse, you would just need to install the driver for your phone.

Ok, here are the steps I took without adb, since comps at work do not allow USB write.
I uploaded the build.prop and maps.apk and sent them to my email using yousendit.com
Downloaded both into sdcard/download
Using "Root Explorer" navigated to /system and set it R/W (there's a button on the top)
Moved the build.prop to /system
Reboot
Install Maps
Reinstall GoogleVoice
Voila!

When I run the first batch file I get this errror: Device not found.
I've never gotten this message before. ADB was working fine for me a few days ago, before I reinstalled 4.2.5. Any ideas?

If you can't get the batch files to work, edit the batch files to see what commands are performed, and execute them in a terminal. There aren't that many.

adb remount says "error: device not found"

Here you go guys, safe simple and so easy a caveman can do it... (insert the, "If you break it, it's your own fault disclaimer here.)
Download the file in the first post of this thread.
extract the file on your hard drive and copy the build.trout.prop file and the Maps.apk, then put them on to your SD Card.
If you can't get this far....we have a bigger issue.
Then in terminal emulator type
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/build.trout.prop /system
reboot
When the device reboots then do this one in the terminal emulator
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/sd/app/*Maps*
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*
rm /system/app/*Maps*
reboot
*Note: Someone might say that the reboot at the end of this code is not needed. That maybe, but it worked just fine for me.
Now using Astro, or another file manager, install the maps.apk from the sd card.
If prompted, install the voice. I had it from other programs.
Turn on GPS
Open the drawer
Click on Maps
Let the Maps program find you
Then click menu, directions
Enter the destination, and click go.
It should show
Code:
My location
<the destination address you entered>
Show on map
[B]Navigate[/B]

Thanks for making clear instructions for the terminal emulator [email protected]
Everyone please remember that one can only use the build.trout.prop file in the first post if they are also running Cyanogen 4.2.5 on the G1, else you run the risk of app errors and force closes. If you are running a different version of Cyanogen, make a copy of your own build.trout.prop file found in your system directory, and edit it.

Google Search by Voice v1.4.1 install fails

Searched the forum and wiki and can't find anything on this.
Trying hard not be a 'compleet newb'....
Problem: I've tried to download and install the latest update (v1.4.1) to Google Search by Voice. It fails saying it is not correctly signed. I am not able to uninstall it via the Market software. The existing version is present and still works.
I was thinking of manually uninstalling it and then attempting a re-install from the market. Has anyone had any success getting this update to install on CM 4.2.7.1?
I'm running Cyanogen 4.2.7.1 on my HTC Magic 32B, applied over the flashed and clean-installed 1.6 rooted base - no CM Updater. (Seems to give a better, more stable result - may affect the behaviour of the update).

this stupid error happens because of the test keys or the userdebug keys thay cyanogenmod uses. I would download it somewhere online and use adb to replace the old one wiht the new one. It should work.

Yes I have the same problem with same model phone etc. etc.
I understand the workaround will be the same as Google maps 3.2.1 update but I cannot find up to date "Google search by voice" apk. I was wondering if anyone knows a source that mirrors up to date apps, or could even link a tut about how to get apk's copied out of the phones /tmp folder?

Thanks
I'll check out the package name in the Applications settings and see if I can find it anywhere or somehow capture it. Later....won't have any time until this evening.

That's great I didn't think of that, ill whip out those quotation marks and asterisks for google too. Also later...... 00:20 is not the right time for this....... so tempted......!!!

I fixed the maps.apk problem by going into adb and uninstalling maps.apk and then removing all traces of it. Then I went to marketplace and i downloaded it as normal and it now works perfectly.
Try that with voice search

Do we know what the package name is? Usually something like "com.google.android.apps.xxx" Could try uninstalling through adb. Then re-download from the market?

hello, could u plz share the installer? its not available on the marketplace in my country.
thanks very much

Ok, I managed to get Google Search by Voice updated to 1.4.1. I'm no pro and it took ages but it works.
Could a mod advise whether I am allowed to post a link to the apk?
I would be happy to post the steps i took but its not something i have done before and worse still, i used cmd not putty (noob error #1!). So the commands and the order i used them in are lost.
Should have used ubuntu..............
the concept consisted of updating the app and simultaneously using this command while it was downloading
Code:
cp /cache/downloadfile-9.apk /sdcard/download
"9" is only because it is the 9th apk i have downloaded and once the install fails the OS deletes the apk.
(for anyone else it would be different. go into /cache and type ls at the prompt to see what your next number will be)
then rename downloadfile-*.apk to VoiceSearch.apk, remove the original in the phone using adb and replace with the updated app.
I will post again tomorrow with clearer instructions but would much rather post a link to the apk I got, if it is permitted

hmmm. doing an 'adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk' and reinstalling from the market still gives you the unsigned error?

yes it will still give an unsigned error.
that is why you need to copy the apk which android market downloads to /cache before it deletes it, i copied it to /sdcard/download. then install via adb afterwards.
you have to manual install the apk to avoid unsigned error, once you have done this any future updates through market will be fine. Maps updated fine to 3.3 after i manually installed 3.2.1

How?

Any advice on how you did that? I can imagine sitting with finger poised over the enter button in an adb shell.......is that what you did? Or is there a more certain, simple way?
Thanks.

lol that is exactly what i did. up, enter, up, enter, up, enter until the shell spat out that "downloadfile-9.apk does not exist" or however it puts it.

a link to the folder containing google search by voice 1.4.1 (VoiceSearch.apk) as well as the original taken from Cyanogen 4.2.7.1 (VoiceSearch.apk.bak)
However it will not install using android interface, adb only.
Its been a pleasure to help, I have been using this site as reference for ages and it is nice to give something back

Where id VoiceSearch.apk come from?

I downloaded the VoiceSearch.apk file and adb pushed it into /system/app on my phone and it works perfectly. The market sees it as installed and valid.
But I inspected my "normal" load phone (which has voice search) and nowhere could i see anything resembling "VoiceSearch.apk".
Where is this file on an un-rooted phone?

[PORT] Droid 2 Multi-Touch Keyboard [Froyo] UPDATE! fixed4!

Got this working on a recent nightly for cm6 (dont see why it wouldnt work on any others too) also, it will most likely work on any deodexed rom (odexed im not sure) -- Let me know what does/doesnt work and ill try and do something or point you in the right direction.
this should also work with other phones (so far just hdpi phones)
EDIT: punk.kaos got it working on all phones! good work! thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021
You must be rooted for this to work!
THEMERS: These are the fixed .xml files that you will need to re-replace while theming: http://www.mediafire.com/?nhy8hd143hk81x0
BEFORE READING ANY MORE, GO DO A NANDROID!

......ok
Confirmed working on:
CM6 Nightlies/Tests (inc)
jdfroyo v1.9 (inc)
Skyraider 2.? (inc)

aiccucs 4.2 (inc)

THIS HAS KNOWN ISSUES CAUSING THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD TO DO WEIRD STUFF ON THE DROID 1!!!!
something with the alt key not working correctly, i do not have a moto droid, so thats making it very tough to troubleshoot anything. anyone who does and wants to test some things, pm me, probably have some time this weekend to look at it
Bugless Beast 4 (moto droid)
Ultimate Droid Extreme Froyo 6.00 (moto droid?)
CM6 (nexus 1)
modaco r21 (nexus 1)
DeFrost 2.6a (desire)
BUGS:
- &amp on one of the keys, more of an annoyance than anything, will fix eventually fixed!
- crap, another &amp error, when holding the . key...fix coming eventually... fixed!
- < symbol fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- vibrates too lightly fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- others?
Voice input works too!
Back up your stock keyboard first:
Code:
adb shell cp /system/app/LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk.bak
adb shell cp /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so.bak
FLASH (EASY) METHOD:
flash this from your recovery or from rom manager:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9yawjq9weakbl9y
Geo411m has made a black colored one. details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7684399&postcount=211
install the same as the easy way, otherwise download it and pull the apk out of it and install it with the manual method
ENJOY!
MANUAL (OLD) METHOD:
get both of these files:
apk:
fixed4: http://www.mediafire.com/?7q0406gqazq8rer
(harder vibrate, < symbol fix)
if you had an older version, be sure to switch to a different keyboard, then remove the old LatinIME.apk before pushing the new one over, otherwise you will get fc's like crazy!
lib:
(you may not need this, but it shouldnt hurt anything (backup instructions below) and if the keyboard doesnt work, then definitely try pushing it)
http://www.mediafire.com/?awy84cz5t8ngx49
some have reported that for some reason or another this file downloads as a .txt (although it comes as a .so for me all the time) make sure you rename it, if need be, to libjni_latinime.so before going any further
you will need adb for this method (others have done it without a computer)
youll either want to be in recovery, with /system mounted, or remount it read-only while the phone is up (need s-off for this, thanks unrevoked!)
then push the two downloaded files to your phone: (in some roms it is called GoogleLatinIme.apk, so use that instead of LatinIME.apk if thats how your rom is)
Code:
adb push d2keyboard-signed-fixed4.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
choose your input method like always, and enjoy the multi-touch keyboard on froyo
ok, the screenshots really dont mean much, anyone can use gimp, but w/e thought id put them up there anyway
thanks to LegionTHEFecalExcretion for the system dump!
if you like what i do and feel compelled to donate something to me, do so here

Great thanks

Works on BB v.4 for the Droid and this is sick!! Thanks so much.

Can you just install the app like you normally would?
And what's the second file for?
Thanks.

You were right, install the app but it kept force closing. Thanks. I'm using Skyraider 2.2

I can't tell you how excited I was when I pushed this on my phone, not because of how it is a much better keyboard then the stock one. I was excited because I was able to push this system without having to be in recovery. UnrEVOked is amazing!
BTW.. I am having no issues with this so far. Excellent keyboard, good port!

i cant tell you how excited i was when the keyboard finally popped up on my screen!
thanks for the feedback

i'm running sapphire 1.0 and i was able to install with Root explorer.

Works on skyraider 2.2 - no pc required. I did have to copy over the lib file with root explorer. Btw I am typing on this keyboard now and it is amazing at correcting mistakes!

I can't push the .so file to my phone, the keyboard fc's on me when I try to select it in the input method section, so I thought i would try pushing the lib, but it keeps saying the directory doesn't exist.
this is exactly what i type
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
cannot stat: 'libjni_latinime.so' no such file or directory

It downloaded for me as a. Txt extension. I had to change it to .so - check to see if that happened to you
