I was directed here from another forum saying I should ask here about keyboard files. I have been looking, and even searched on google and didn't have any luck. I was curious where the keyboard files are located on my phone? Is there a certain way I need to get to the files, if so please state. Thanks and I'd highly appreciate any help.
From a computer with ADB:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/LatinIME.apk
That is the APK file that is the keyboard. Hope this is what you were looking for.
It may be, I'm not sure. I guess there is only one way to find out.
I guess my thing is, I wanted to see if there was a way to change the button colors and font style and what not. I guess we'll find out.
If this isn't the way to do it, please let me know before I go into it and it's not what I need to edit or look at. Thanks.
The LatinIME.apk is where you'll find the images for the keyboard. The keyboard is an application, that's how new ones can get installed, so treating it like a normal APK you can edit the files in it and rezip the apk and it should work.
Thanks, I appreciate you letting me know that. I will do some more research to figure out some more about how to do adb stuff. Again thanks.

I've already done searches for this, but I just haven't found a simple answer for a newbie like me.
What I want is to keep the weather in the tab like it is on the stock HTC home, but I want to be able to choose my city by zip code. I'd also like to be able to get radar images.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Also, it would be really cool if there was an option to have it show weather based on your GPS location.
Thanks!
theres no "newbie" way...you have to get the file from your phone's "Windows" folder (using file explorer), get it on a real computer, and edit the file using notepad...just copy the format already there for your city, save it, and put it back where you found it in the windows folder...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Once again, a person who isnt looking hard enough in the forums...

In all fairness, the search function on this site sucks. I've resorted to using google to search "forum.xda-developers.com" under advanced search.

Hey thanks for the link.
But, what I would REALLY like, that I haven't seen posted yet, is instead of having to input a city is if the weather would just update based on GPS location. Is anyone working on this? Or is there currently an available modification to the HTC home weather for this? I think that would be the cat's ass.
Thanks again!

Why you think a cat's ass is a good thing is beyond me...
I live with four cats and I avoid their asses as much as possible!
So I have an idea, I'm trying to modify the stock keyboard sound. the stock sound for the keyboard is a little annoying. What I would like to do is customize the sounds a little bit, maybe make different keys make different sounds. But since the stock android keyboard has only 1 sound for all keys, I'm not exactly sure on how to go about that.
Any suggestions?
I see over 80 views and no replies?? anyone have any ideas??
I'm not 100% sure on how to do it, but you should start by pulling the APK from the phone. From there, look through the folders until you find a couple files that say "Keypress" in them and are .ogg files (KeypressDelete.ogg, KeypressStandard.ogg something like that) Replace them with the sounds you want and push it to your phone, make sure it is a .ogg file and has the same name. Let me know if this works or if you have any problems.
Thanks for the reply. I have gone thru that and found the keypress.ogg and keypressdelete.ogg files and replaced them with new sounds, named the same of coarse (they were located in /system/media/ui) and it ended up doing nothing. I found it weird that those .ogg sounds were in there considering they were sounds that arent associated with my keyboard at all because my keyboard doesnt make any of those sounds. So I pulled swype.apk and mms.apk and found the .ogg files in them, changed them, but now I cant reinstall those to my phone, it comes up with an error saying it cannot be installed (I dont use adb, I just use root explorer mostley and then just install apk's on my phone haha). I remember reading that sometimes the apk wont install if its not signed, and since my phone doesnt tell me anything other than "app was not installed successfully," I thought maybe Signing would be the issue. So I tried finding SignApk and a how to guide, but was unsuccessful with that.
If I do get the sound to work on the keyboard, I'll be happy. But ultimately my goal is to make it so that every key has a different sound. That sounds like a job for someone who can write code, which I certainly cannot haha. But it sounds like it wouldnt be too big of an deal to do if you can write code.
I figure I can start out, and correct me if I'm wrong on this, figuring out how to write even a little bit of code and try modifying the stock keyboard to do these sounds. example:
"when "A" is pressed, start soundfile1.ogg"
"when "B" is pressed, start soundfile2.ogg"
Thanks again for the info and sorry I wrote a freaking book hahaha
Hi,
I've been trying to make this app mostly for personal use.
I actually am just changing/designing the images to just skin it really.
Feel free to check it out ( http://db.tt/qfFVq7uz ) (see attached as well), but I have a question or two about the xml stuff.
In the settings, I want to change the links that are inside there that go to other site to basically reroute them to our website.
I have tried looking at the xml files, I'm assuming that's where the link gets it's info, but not 100% sure.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to change these links. Changing the images and signing the apk is no problem for me so far.
Just a little help needed with the xml stuff. I can see it with an xml reader/editor, but it all looks foreign when I open it. I know html and what should do what, so I'm not completely useless when looking at it!
Thanks so much!
Looking for a simple small windows program that will simply show correct icons for .apk's on my PC
I set a default .ico for all my apk's but something showing the correct .ico for apk's would be great.
Is there one available?
Thanks to anyone replying.
There's got to be something??? anyone?
I remember when I played around with a Nintendo DS I found some type of shell extension that would show .nds games icons...
Was really hoping this was out there for .apk's
Really....no one can answer me on this subject....ugh
Either its a dumbass question and the asnwer is so simple anyone reading it just pass's it up, or noone is understanding my subject...OR theres nothing out for pc to do this...maybe i should make something?
Anything guys...**** give me an answer....even a "hey ceaser shut the **** up" would be somthing
Im talking to myself in this thread

Not anymore, i might have a solution for you
first get the image you want to use as an icon and resize it to be EXACTLY 256x256 and in .ico format
then click run in start menu and type regedit
allow UAC if needed
make backup of registry
if you want to just change the icon to know what it is, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk
if it isnt there, right click on the folder and create new key called .apk
check if the (default) entry is blank, if so, then create a new key in the same place as .apk and call it something.Assoc.APK (not tested)
in the new key, create a key called DefaultIcon, and in that create a REG_EXPAND_SZ and put the full path in quotes of the .ico file
tell me if it doesnt work and include screenshots
Thanks for the reply...whats I actually ended up doing is making an .ico of a droid and basically setting the file extension within windows to use that ico with any apk...thanks for the info above though

What i said was the proper method, for someone searching for this thread could you tell how you did it
i guess my help was not appreciated
Not sure if this is the right section to post such a thread but I need help...
What I'm trying to do is pull Music/Sound files from unity type .apk files.
My problem is there is no "sound" or "music" folders inside these unity type .apk files and so I'm having a hard time figuring them out.
I've even tried with the .OBB Files with these games and they seem to be the exact same. I've done google searches before posting this and all I'm getting is nothing so here I am asking the PROS of android xD.
This is what it looks like
All I see is a bunch of files with 2 folders called Managed and Resources which is located in assets/bin/Data But I have no idea how to rip any sort of sound/music files from these type of .apk files so I'm hoping someone here knows what file to look for in this situation.
Most games look like this and have the sound/music files hidden somewhere inside something...
