BlackGlassSwype (NO EXPIRATION)

I know there are 3(or more) existing swype threads. I KNOW THIS. I just threw my swype kb file folder from black glass into the full version swype for those that wanted a BlackGlass swype that didnt know how to do it themselves. Get it HERE. If any one wants a new color lemme know and ill put it up when i get a chance, so we have more colors to choose from.
If you cant get it make sure you hav3 done the following:
for those who are getting expired messages try removing all traces of Swype:
1. In terminal,
Code:
rm /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk
2. In terminal,
Code:
rm -r /data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod
3. Clear your dalvik-cache
I've not gotten an expiration yet, but hopefully this works for you

its always worked for me. Im currently using this exact apk in my rom. Not sure what the problem could be. You can always take the libs from it and throw them in your roms lib folder (using root explorer on an already installed system), thats how i make it work out of the box in my mods. It should just install, i normally use andro or root exp to install apps that werent included in the rom. Root commander works great too. I dont use adb for apk installation.

I tried pushing it first then used Astro to install

THANKS for the feedback.Yeah astro should work too...

Maybe I got a bad download I will try again downloading it and using Root Explorer to install.

right on. if not pm n ill get it going for you. i have a few diff. copies,but this is the one im currently using. I had to mess with it some to get it to work with a new rom install(its a choice from get go) so i learned a little about installing it

Not working for me either... used Linda and Estrongs file explorers... neither worked.
Do you need a previous version of Swype installed for it to work?

Won't install for me either

The way it worked for me, I had to adb remove swype first, then download to SD and then use astro to install

Yeah im going to guess if you had swype previously installed this one probably wont install for you.

the **** doesnt install anyway i tried, i did have it previously, what folder do i adb pull from?

I used Advanced task manager to uninstall my previous version, then Estrongs File Explorer to install this one, works fine for me. Thanks!

Won't install for me either...

system/app...you will probably need to list the files to see exactly what its named to remove.
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
rm whateveritsnamed.apk

This is a developer site right? Well this is just an app install. I put it up to help ppl out not piss them off. Ive listed the best way to do it and it works FLAWLESSLY. Please do the following or listen to my previous instructions before threadbombing...This is not hard, so please calm down and try not to get upset. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
INSTRUCTIONS
​
1)REMOVE ANY EXISTING SWYPE YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE
2)MAKE SURE ITS ACTUALLY GONE(it can be pesky to remove)
3)DOWNLOAD THE APK TO SD
4)USE ANDROZIP FILE EXPLORER TO INSTALL THE FILE(i think astro works too)
5)ENABLE YOUR SWYPE OPTION FROM settings/language keyboards
6)LONG PRESS ON A TEXT ENTRY FIELD
7)TAP INPUT METHOD
8)CHOOSE SWYPE TO USE IT
​
And lastly if this does not work for you and you still really want swype i have a rom i just put up yesturday that has swype,android kb, and htc kb included and you just select whichever you want to use(no installing anything). Good luck AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU(im not a star wars freak, just seemed like the right thing to say)

Thanks, was missing my black kb, any chance we could get the micro black version? Mine quit on me yesterday morning

Droid X Multitouch KB for Eclair ROMs

Here's a working kb that I know works for eclair roms (more specifically, it works for me on Darchdroid 2.7 (an AOSP ROM). If anyone is able to get this to work okay using sense roms, that's great, otherwise, sorry.
Just put the file into u'r c:\ folder and push it via adb
Code:
adb push c:\DroidXIME.apk /system/app/
I just added the 'q-ime.apk' file as well. This file is similar to the DroidXIME.apk file, but, in my opinion, it seems to have better response than the droidxime.apk file. It also fixes a problem with displaying a correct symbol in the characters section of the kb.
Enjoy

I installed it via Astro manager, but even though it shows it's installed, I cannot find any settings to assign it as the default keyboard. Would it have anything to do with it being the latin keyboard? I do see the settings for "multitouch keyboard" but that's it. Also is there any visual difference between this one and the stock keyboard?

It'll look the same or similar to the stock KB. The multitouch is this KB

They both work just fine for me. Stinx they aren't workin for ya
I basically posted this for someone on IRC so they could get the apk easily. Maybe it's only functional for AOSP roms... dunno

Use it like a normal computer keyboard ie: hold down the 'shift' key while you push another key to make it a capital, then release and keep typing - works great!

can someone post a screen shot of how this keyboard looks? will this work with fresh 2.1.1. i am using the AOSP black keyboard right now along with AOSP messaging app and they both work great. someone please post a screenie! thanks.

is there still a space bar bug in this

when I do rm qime.apk I get Read-only file system. Not sure why. First time I ever had an issue loading anything.

use RootExplorer (find an apk) and use that..its better/easier than using a terminal emulator, plus, u dont need to remember/copy all those commands

[FIX][CURE] Stagefright work around. Cures Hulu demon voices! Now with working zip!!!

THERE IS A NEW FLASH PLAYER ON THE MARKET I WOULD RECOMMEND NOT UPDATING UNLESS YOU REALLY WANNA RISK LOSING HULU
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These fixes are no the actual hulu app or even a change to the hulu app at all. It is a fix which roles back the version of stagefright which just so happens to be the fix for the demon voices.
This may negativity effect Youtube, Pandora, and xm radio.
I MADE AN UPDATE ZIP THAT
I HAVE CONFIRMED WORKING BY donnyevo4g and several others
I have tested it myself
So try it out I need feedback!!
Make a Backup first just flash and your done. (The zip is called Hulufix.zip)
This zip roles back stagefright and fixes demon voices.
****IF THIS WORKS DISREGARD ALL BELOW****
*****MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP BEFORE ANY OF THIS*****
Here are basic instructions for using adb. Thank you rutter9 for the files and how he did it.
1. Unzip the contents into your android-sdk tools folder
2. adb reboot recovery
3. In recovery go to partitions and select mount\system
4. adb remount
5. Than use these adb commands
Code:
adb push libstagefrighthw.so /system/lib/libstagefrighthw.so
adb push libstagefright_omx.so /system/lib/libstagefright_omx.so
adb push libstagefright_color_conversion.so /system/lib/libstagefright_color_conversion.so
adb push libstagefright_avc_common.so /system/lib/libstagefright_avc_common.so
adb push libstagefright_amrnb_common.so /system/lib/libstagefright_amrnb_common.so
adb push libstagefright.so /system/lib/libstagefright.so
6. In partitions menu unmount/system
7. adb reboot
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other way for those who don't like or use clockwork recovery. This time i'm giving thanks to JTNiggle (who has done a lot on this thread thanks )
Okay, i'll give this my best shot here, not my fault if your phone burns down your house. As always, nandroid before, during, after and in between.
First, download the attachments from this post. Unzip Hulu Working Stagefright.zip and place it's contents in your sdk tools folder. Also place Hulu.apk and flash-fixed.apk in the sdk tools folder.
Part 1 (If you don't already have hulu app with flash fix)
On ur phone, open Root Explorer, (or whatever file manager you use but Root Explorer is the best) and navigate to /system/app, make sure you have full permissions set and mounted as r/w. Find all the flash apk's, some ROM's have two, some have one. Their actual names vary, so look thoroughly. Just rename them to something like flash.apk.old, this way you can rename them back if something goes wrong.
Now, still in Root Explorer, navigate to /system/lib, make sure you have full permissions set and mounted as r/w. After that, close the explorer and plug your phone into your pc.
Open up a command promt and navigate to your sdk tools folder where you placed the downloaded files.
Run these commands, one at a time, tapping enter after each one.
Code:
adb push flash-fixed.apk /system/app/
adb push Hulu.apk /system/app/
Now, on your phone, go back into Root Explorer, and navigate to /system/app, find the apk's you just pushed. Tap each one and pick install, follow prompts from there to finish the install. Close the explorer when finished.
If you want, at this point, you can try and open up Hulu on your phone, and see how it's running. The video should start playing fine, but you'll have the demon voices, no biggie, we'll fix that in a minute. If the video wont play at all, and you get a message like, not optimized for your device, or not supported on your platform, then Flash did not install properly. Check everything and re-do the above steps until you get video playback on Hulu. I've had to run through it twice to get it to work sometimes.
Part 2 Once you have hulu and you want to fix demon voices
Now, back to the command promt from your sdk tools folder. Run these commands one at a time, tapping enter after each one.
Code:
adb push libstagefright.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_amrnb_common.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_avc_common.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_color_conversion.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_omx.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefrighthw.so /system/lib/
Now that all the files are in the proper places, you can reboot, so run
Code:
adb reboot
once your phone boots up, it should be good to go. If not,
This may provide mix results. This is a temporary fix
Good Luck

I don't have the before. Deleted. I know it also worked with the stock Rom running kings #6 BFS318-2.6.32.15. I think you'll find all the new roms people are reporting it not working with are using the updated kernel.

Evio 1.2 not working

Working fine with evio 1.2 with bfs #8. Voices fine. Video smooth at 1228mhz.

Well you can try this. Here are my library files for stagefright. Mount system/lib as r/w through adb. Pull your stagefright lib files (as a backup) then overwrite with the working ones. Then reboot in adb. Worth a shot.

[Temp] Fix for missing apps on froyo

in your build.prop replace the current text with this: you can get things like tv.com back
Code:
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2.1 FRG83 60505 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys
i would upload one for people to flash but as some many people are on diff roms/kernels it would just cause more issues then its worth best way to go about fixing it is pulling the file from your phone (or the zip from teh rom your on). swapping out the text and pushing it back to /system
all credit goes to Decad3nce for the fix

yes, and after rebooting a rechecked my build.prop file to make sure it took, and it was correct

Nevermind, I got it to work...

Can I get some clarification on this? I am using Mammon 1.0.3.1 and cannot get my sprint football ap to work.
Would this be an example of what this would fix?

Could the MSID number in my phone being different from my phone number be the reason it doesn't think this is a SPrint phone?

if you get an error when flashing via recovery do this:
-extract zip
-put .apk in system/app/
-put .so in the lib folder (exact directory found in the zip)
-reboot
-fix_permissions
