Hello, I recently upgraded to Android 2.2 (Froyo). I was unhappy with not having the (all so accustomed to) Android keyboard and began researching alternatives. I stumbled upon this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780683
I downloaded the file (.zip file) and succesfully got it on my phone. However, I do not know how to go about using a 'root' or what a 'root' is, and I also don't know how to copy the
"/system/app/LatinIME.apk
/system/lib/libjni_latinime.so"
to the system folder.
Any helpful responses will be greatly appreciated.
U r far far away from doing this....!!!!
Rooting is firstly necessary... Its the process where u get access to ur system files by deleting some system files via softwares and/or programming skills.. It also void your manufacturer's warranty..
Do not root only for installing a keyboard..!!! Its a big thing and not for beginners..!!
Then again u have to install custom recovery which is, kind of like bios in computer!! Via custom recovery u can install zip files!!
Good day

Thanks for your replies. I don't necessarily want to void my warranty- being a construction worker and all, phones need to be able to be replaced cheaply- so is there any other possible way to get a free keyboard like the Android 2.1 one? I found a free 7.1x keyboard that was good and easy to use, but you had to pay in order to get options (such as turning off that incessant tapping sound).
Any good free keyboards anybody can point me to that are simple to install?
try this link..
scroll at the middle of the page.. u will see a download option.. download those keyboard apps.. it can also run or other devices besides htc.. download your correct resolution keyboard (download all and see which works best for you)
you will download a zip file.. install the two apk's BY BROWSING TO THAT FILE USING A FILE MANAGER AND THEN CLICKING THE FILE...
GO HERE TO DOWNLOAD

INSTALL THE ONE WHICH FITS YOUR RESOLUTION
TRY THE LAST ONE 1ST(LOWER RESOLUTION KEYBOARD)
AFTER U SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL THE TWO SOFTWARE GO TO settings->language & keyboard and then check mark the htc ime keybord..
then suppose u want to use it to text.. then open messaging-> new message
then press and hold the blank area where u type ur text.. select input method and click htc_ime keyboard..
also u may go to settings from the messaging and select htc_ime to use the keyboard..
GOOD DAY
Oh yeah!!
Unzip the files u download to your phone's memory card 1st!
I have the .apk files in my SD card. How do I install them?
browse to the files using a file manager.. the file manager is provided in every phone..
now go to the files.. and install them one by one.. to install select the file.. that is touch the files and then press install..
Thank you kindly. I should have mentioned I had a Galaxy S Vibrant. The one I downloaded did have a resolution too low but I guess i'll just try out a few more and go from there.
Again, thank you.
Hi all! I have an i9003 and i wish to install a custom update.zip... the problem is that i get always signature problem.
In the log of recovery i see that the program check the sign of package with one file present in the /res directory of the phone called KEY.
My question is.... can i use that key file to sign my package? How?
I see that another member of this forum (for another phone model) make an update.zip and the related key to put in the res directory.. i really would know how he done it....
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to install rafdroid and the instructions say to " First of all modify the config.txt file in your build folder, with wince=1 or you will be stuck at bootscreen."
I really don't know how to modify it so could anybody help with this?? Maybe some steps on what to download & how to modify it would be helpful. Any help will be appreciated. Help ASAP if able. Thanks.
I've used rafdroid sd builds looong time ago... but i remember that if you use to start android from winmo you must create a text file (withe Notepad), write "wince=1" and save it in to the android folder in the sd-card otherwise it will work only with MAGLDR.
Hi too all i am trying to root my alcatel ot 985 and i need to install some usb_host_driver, when i came in at that folder i have win64/32, later WNET/VISTA, and later IA64/AMD64 and later qcusbser.cat and qcusbser.sys have a readme too, i need to install that for continuing process of rooting, so please somehow help me guys. Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers, Nemanja. :good:
Usually to install a driver there have to be an *.inf file in a folder.
So, maybe the file is placed somewhere in a superior folder.
Using windos 7 you just have to highlight the top folder and let Windows search the file itself.
Using XP you have to search the file yourself.
Worst case is, that there is no such file.
This means you have to download something lice a sync-software from alcatel homepage and install the whole package, because the driver is inclueded there. Just like the HTC Sync package, which contains the drivers for HTC smartphones
Hi
i recently got an interest in checking a game's file ( Dead By Daylight Mobile) to see if i can mess with them to get perks that ain't in the game yet and stuff like that..
So after a little research i found a .pak file (2 GB of space ) and i wanna ask if someone knows how to extract it to get the files from the inside
( whoever is interested and has the game the pak file is located in Android/obb/com.bhvr.deadbydaylight/main.312289.com.bhvr.deadbydaylight.obb/DeadByDaylight/Content/Paks)
I know some people found a way inside the pak file but i can't find how ....I tried opening it with 7-zip, WinRAR and most of the apps on pc but all of them failed to open it since the .pak was unsupported ......
If someone knows how to extract it please i need some help
Ty in andvance
