I created a AOSP theme for Swype but I can't seem to get it applied. Any pointers?
Edit: All I did was redesign the images in the keyboard asset folder. I tried to use the Swypechanger tool but couldn't get that to work. So right now I have all the needed images just no way of either inserting them into a working APK or updating a current Swype install.. I'd like to test it out for bugs first but it's seems pretty solid.
I would love to see this. I think you would need to stick them in one of the apk's with com.swype at the front.
Maybe ask the person behind this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701198

I found his swypes a while back. they are the best i have ever seen so i use them exclusively. i can do this for you if you dont have it yet. i need a black one to match everything else that the red and black dont. i need black for my froyo mod. ill just need the edited files and ill put it together for you to post here on xda. should be pretty sweet. good idea,btw
I've been searching all day, and I can't get a working copy of the Froyo HTC_IME APK.
Does anyone have it, or have the ability to rip it? I really wish I didn't have to request it here but I've exhausted all my attempts here to find it.
Help would be really appreciated. I'm currently running Damage Control 3.5 which didn't get official Froyo Sense keyboard. The mod does not have arrows, which is necessary for EVO users.
-EDIT: If anyone knows how to rip it from a ROM, that information can help as well, as long as it's not too difficult. I can have a friend attempt to do that.
Here you go.

I dunno how many of you use HTC_IME_hiRes version but this is a pretty sweet kitchen that themes it up in almost any way you want!
Awesome! Thanks major to the creator, gIMpSTa. And thanks to jonasl for the mod.
Yea the kitchen is convenient. Only thing is the XDA HTC_IME mod doesn't have multitouch or arrows like the official HTC one which is what he wants.

Thanks. For some reason, however, it says "Application Not Installed". Any reasons as to why this is happening?
Again, I'm running DamageControl 3.5.
I did, while waiting for a reply, find a backup made by Titanium that includes the keyboard as system data. I could not run a restore for it though. It feels like I just will never get that keyboard back unless I flash a new ROM.
So, out of the options below, what's my best move?
1. Troubleshoot the installation error.
2. Troubleshoot Titanium
3. Flash a different ROM
This might seem like too much for a single keyboard, but you don't know how much I miss those arrows...

I wish I had my comp, and I'd just post the apk.
Anyways dude, the froyo keyboard is nice, so I could see why you want it. I've tried swype, and just plain deleted that gimpsta crap after like an hour (its nice for people who can't theme, but just ugly compared to a themes froyo).
To rip the apk, just download a stock Rom, open the zip, and it should be in system/app/. From there, u have to adb push it to the system/app/ folder of your own.phone.
Another alternative would be downloading a stock Rom n deleting literally everything in the zip minus the HTC_IME and flashing it.

Lol, look at my keyboard on my theme. You can mod the jell outta the stock, it just takes effort, looks sexy and you still have the features that the generic Gimp keyboard is missing.

I tried installing this but so far it has given me all kinds of issues where it force closed constantly, then after a reboot all the HTE_IME data was gone and I can't find it anywhere or install this one. Anyone have any ideas?

Hey! I'm not really sure whats up with that. I am downloading DC right now to see whats inside. I made a new flashable. Maybe it will work. Before you flash it i would remove any extra keyboards you may have installed. Then also look in your /system/app/ folder and see if there are multiple copies of htc_ime.apk. there really should be only one. lastly, i would go to >settings>applications>manage>all>TouchInput>Clear defaults(dunno if you can do this) but maybe clear data. Then reboot recovery and flash this file. Maybe it wasnt working because it needed the clicker.apk as well.
Hope something works for ya. These files are from fresh so maybe that is why they don't work. ???
Has anyone figured out how to get this keyboard to work on cyanogen?
What exactly is the clicker?
I just ripped the APK from my Stock Froyo install for HTC_IME.apk, which should be the right keyboard. I have the clicker installed from that other HTC_IME Mod apk that's been around for a while, but that's not the multitouch version and doesn't have the arrow keys.
I'm going to see if the same hacks the guy who hacked the first one will work on this new APK. But I can't play around with it yet.
Check out APKtool to decompile the APK and look at the source for the other HTC_IME mod to kind of see what he did.
I too would like to use it in my CM install.
the clicker is what allows you to calibrate/recalibrate the touch input
Did anyone get the 2.2 keyboard running in AOSP roms yet?

OMFG ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Months... months i tell you i have been using android. hero then evo. And i just now realize you can use the volume keys as arrows thanks to you. I have learned how to theme, i have learned how to customize stock ota's into custom rom's for myself, i have learned how to compile kernels from source by dual booting into my linux build. I have learned so many things... and yet, just figured this out.... sometimes i wonder about myself and my sanity,.
on topic now, i think the touch input keyboard requires more than one apk to be installed, or an apk and a library.
Hello everyone,
I recently started working at my own custom theme which will be mainly flat black with white icons and android green highlights. I've shown it to a couple of friends and they really quite like it. I've updated every single image in the Framework-res.apk so it really is a complete revamp.
Now, I also want to edit some of the applications that I installed to match the theming (for example Handcent SMS and Winamp). I managed to pull the apk files from my phone, decompile them, edit the images and rebuilding them. But I can't seem to manage to push them back to my phone with succes because they get "uninstalled" when I push the files back to overwrite the originals (they are removed from the app drawer).
I wonder if anyone of you knows why and if it's solveable, I really like Winamp and Handcent SMS.
Cheers in advance!
Do you resign the app ?? use apk manager ??
I am not that clever to do that stuff, but it sounds like when you mod widget locker and you dont sign the apk file, if i am completely wrong sorry just trying to help

I did not resign the app, I didn't even know such thing excisted. I'm not that smart myself, I'm just a stupid designer knowing how to photoshop really well But other than that I just followed some tutorials.
If you could explain to me how to resign an app that would be of great help. Thanks!
Search for widget locker mods and in that post at the top there is a piece of kit called apk manager, follow the instructions and it will resign your apk and allow it to be used

You'll be the first one to know when the theme is finished. I'm making quick progress now. I'm gonna edit some more apps that I frequently use. Winamp is almost fully customized. I'm not quite sure how to pack everything up into an easy installer for you guys to use. But by that time I will ask for help again, I'm sure there will be loads of people who will teach me how to do that when they see the final product.

Read my guide, pay attention to the "creating a flashable package" part, basically to alter any file/folder on your phone you would simply need to place the file/folder in the appropriate folder structure within that zip, then flash. (This is all done while the package is still in the .apk format, you would need 7zip to open it and do the editing while it's still packaged, you never extract)
It'd be easiest for you to just go back to pick and pack, then flash the puzzle lock - that would get everything else back to stock that isn't themed.
I figured that would be the easiest route but Im feeling froggy and want to do it the hard way.i'm about to start digging into your guide now.

If you can find a swype that has been themed for another phone, you should be able to easily port it to the pnp version with theme porter, then add that APP to my puzzle lock theme and flash. Let me know and I'll include it in the theme.

Yea, I tried pulling the widgetlocker .apk from my phone, editing it and pushing it back and it dissappeared from my app drawer, so I'm still learning about those issues.
You guys could port that swype keyboard to pnp (using my guide) and create a package that only flashes that app to your phone... once i'ts ported it could be added to any existing theme's too.

As you know, I know nothing about themeing but when I tried to just overwrite the .apk file it gave me an error saying that the app wasn't designed for my phone (or something like that) and would have limited usability. And then came the onslaught of the FC loop. Would making this a flashable install fix that or is it because the app itself just doesn't work with our phones?

that's why we have to port them to the pnp version first, it just copies all of the .png files to our version (that already works on our phone) then you would be able to replace it through root explorer (or make a flash package) sounds like you were trying to use the .apk from the other phone? Never do that btw

LOL Yeah I learned that lesson. Thank God for nandroid backups. It actually wasn't that bad just couldn't use the Swype keyboard anymore (even after putting our .apk back on). Maybe I'll give your guide a try. It kind of intimidated me the first time I read through it but maybe just pulling a single app will be a good way to start.

Skip reading the part about framework and decompiling. App's are wayyy easier, you should be able to just use theme porter (as long as the folder names within the theme'd version matches what's in pnp's version, should have -v4 i believe so you may have to rename those in the theme version.) Or you could manually move the .png's by opening each one in 7zip side by side.

I have the same problem when I uninstall the pre-installed Swype and install in the beta. However, on the beta, it only gives me 2 Honeycomb options. WTF!
I just used Titanium Backup to extract Swype from my Galaxy Note. I've uploaded it to one of those file download sites and here's the download link. I haven't tried installing it, since I don't want to uninstall it first. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Thank you. Works like a charm. Just need to install it. So far there isn't any crash or bug.
is anyone in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore or Vietnam with the galaxy note? can you post me you libswypecore.so and swype.apk
I used to pray for swype on every phone i had, but got sick of the fact there was no market download for phones that didnt have it preinstalled, no upgrades for phones that had it preinstalled, and beta versions that expired.
I found TouchPal keyboard in the market, I now prefer it to Swype (has same swype features etc..) Everything that swype is and more...
(Even seems to be faster than swype on older phones incase you have one)

never mind.. i ripped it out of one the firmwares
So I guess the Galaxy Note registers as a Honeycomb device on Swype's downloader site.
Honeycomb swype is a disaster in of its own, because they failed to realize that white on a light alice blue & light baby blue background (for word options, when choosing possible stroke interpretation) is hard to see.
And on a Galaxy Note, this disaster is intensified because the keyboard is tiny, making it harder to see and tougher to use.
However, I need the beta because the beta contains Chinese characters. I need those.
Anyone have any ideas how to go about getting a recent Gingerbread Swype Beta?
Can I just re-install the Swype that comes with the Note, then replace the libswypecore.so in the default swype with the from the libswypecore.so in honeycomb?
Anybody have any other suggestions?
Oh, I see. Swype said phuck the galaxy note.

That's weird. At the bottom of the page, they say "*WXGA resolution is only supported for devices running Android Honeycomb (3.0) or later". But our WXGA Notes clearly come with Swype preinstalled on Gingerbread. They clearly already did the work and have what's needed, why not support it on the beta? That's lame.

personally I prefer "ultra keyboard" than swype.
it has the swyping function plus loads of customizing options includes:
# make your own colour theme for the keyboard.
# adjust the size of keys and keyboard.
# have both number keys and arrow keys on the same keyboard as the letters..etc

yeah...the only downside of it is the size of the keyboard is quite big in landscape....I don't think any settings change can make any difference...must be a density problem...
I don't usually type in landscape anyways...I usually swype it in portrait mode.
