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

Change 3G to 4G LTE Icon status bar!!!!!

Make your boring old 3G icon on status bar to the new Fancy 4G LTE icon.
Screenshots attached below
-Download the zip file
-Move the file to root of SD card
-Install via Bootstrap if you don't have bootstrap the apk is below move that to Root of SD card also and then install on phone
-Open bootstrap app hit "Bootstrap Recovery" then hit "Reboot Recovery"
-After it reboots hit install from sd card using volume rocker buttons then select it with red camera key
-Pick the file "3G to 4G LTE icon.zip" and install it
-Then reboot your phone
-Theres your fancy 4G LTE icon
ENJOY!

Umm....no
Can I have the stock HTC EVO boot animation while you're at it. What's the point of modding 4G LTE on there when we don't have 4G LTE?

Haha thats pretty Sick! I'm gona go trick my friends now lol

Glad like you said I'm not the only one cause I just reloaded it

Guys its not an update.zip file. Its just the file in a compressed format. Unzip it then push it to where it belongs. It won't install because their is no updater-script

I'm on liberty and it won't flash

how do you push it and to where?

Ahahaha, you guys need to look at what you download. Anytime you download a .zip file check to see if a META-INF folder in it because then it means it can be flashed. He didn't put in and update.zip because then he could only share with one or two phones. Thanks for the OP and good work...

[MOD] MDPI Phone apk for CM9/AOKP 160dpi

I'm fairly new to the xda community... So I'm hoping this works for others like it worked for me. I tried about 20 different modded phone apks that were supposedly designed to work for 160dpi setting on AOKP and CM9 roms and I was just about to give up when I stumbled across one that actually works!!! Directions are pretty simple...
1. Download phone.apk file from below
2. move to root of sd card
3. In root explorer (or any file browser with root access) go to /system/app and rename original phone.apk to phone.apk.bak
4. Copy and paste new phone.apk in /system/app
5. Reboot phone and enjoy
No need to change app permissions to -rw-r--r--
UPDATE!!!! For those of you that prefer a flashable zip, Mr. Apocalypse was kind enough to upload one in post #12 of this thread
If you run into any problems let me know and I'll try to help with troubleshooting.

It replaces the stock phone app... The stock phone app will crash on any LCD density below 200 dpi. This modded phone app will run on the lower densities so you can use the 160 dpi setting and still be able to make/receive phone calls without a FC error.

It's nothing major... Just a fix for a force close error when using the phone app on different LCD densities. A lot of ppl like the look of 160 dpi and 128 dpi (tablet mode) but you lose call functionality as a consequence... This fixes that issue.

Also... If you decide to return the phone to stock LCD density there's no need to revert back to the old phone apk... This one will work in all densities from 128-240 dpi. (I haven't tried anything larger than 240 yet... IDK why anyone would though )

Ah, okay got it..
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

thankyou so much! fixed my issue wondered why it kept crashing when it was lower than 200 lol

I'll try it out. That FC pop up gets annoyings as stopping and clearing data after every reboot gets annoying lol.
Does this permanently replace the stock phone apk?

I can't get anything to work. Not the rename, not the copy and past. Nothing.

Make sure the /system folder is mounted as read/write before you do this... If your file explorer app doesn't have the option to give you root access you can mount /system by using terminal emulator.
Use the following commands:
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

Lol, jk, attached is a flashable, uses the same Phone.apk in the OP for those who's having trouble with the push process.
I personally haven't tested it, but it should help with those who are.

Thanks I'll give that a go. Can I flash this directly to the appropriate file or do I need to move it after flashing?

Didn't find any working package so I started browsing the Android source.
I think I found the root of this problem:
https://github.com/AOKP/packages_apps_Phone/blob/ics/res/layout/incall_touch_ui.xml#L52
Code:
<!--
(1) incomingCallWidget: the UI displayed while an incoming call is ringing.
See InCallTouchUi.showIncomingCallWidget().
Layout notes:
- Use an opaque black background since we need to cover up
a bit of the bottom of the contact photo
- The verticalOffset value gets us a little extra space above
the topmost "Respond by SMS" icon
- [b]The negative layout_marginBottom shifts us slightly downward;
we're already aligned with the bottom of the screen, but we
don't have an icon in the downward direction so the whole
bottom area of this widget is just wasted space.[/b]
-->
<com.android.internal.widget.multiwaveview.MultiWaveView
android:id="@+id/incomingCallWidget"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
[b]android:layout_marginBottom="-46dp"[/b]
android:background="@android:color/black"
android:visibility="gone"
I guess this -46dp is too much and needs to be lowered a bit.

For those who dont know, there is a new updated S-voice out that is currently working on most devices. I'm sure it'll be patched soon as well, and the need to change the build.prop will arise again. In the meantime, this one DOES work

I'm getting Force Close every time I tell it to do something that app oriented, I'm assuming it's looking for Samsung applications?

NVM some things work some dont, I sent myself a text but cannot set an alarm lol. this helped things though.

I have permissions set to -rwxrwxr-x

I have permissions set to -rwxrwxr-x

I haven't a clue then lol, tried that as well, with no luck.

I copied that .so file from the .apk into the lib folder and it works now. It appears the only time that the app FC itself is when it tries to launch another app. I'm guessing probably because it is trying to look for the Samsung app.
Example - When I ask "Locate the nearest Mexican restaurant" or "What is the weather like today?"

You're going to need to use ADB with cmd line to push it as far as I know or have root enabled file explorer like ROM Toolbox and you will see system when you're in it, this app never worked when I pushed it to system for me just installed it like a normal app and rebooted phone

Zip file not flashing
Hello! This is some great work on the battery mods, something I'd love to take advantage of. I'm trying to install the Neon collection, but the archive is not flashing.
I followed the instructions in the OP, copied the 100 battery files and the stat_sys_battery.xml into the systemUI.apk, then swapped it into the archive. I uploaded the new archive file to my Dropbox account, then downloaded it onto my Fire, rebooted into recovery (TWRP 2.1.1) and tried to install the Neon_with_Percentage_Mod.zip file. I keep getting an error that says "E:Unable to open zip file. Error flashing zip /sdcard/my_directory/Neon_with_Percentage_Mod.zip".
Do I need to use adb to manually push the archive file onto the Fire rather than passing it through my Dropbox account? Seems unlikely to be the cause of the problem, but I'm not sure what else the problem could be. Any thoughts?
EDIT: I just worked my way back through all the steps, and this time the flash was successful. However, now that I've rebooted into normal mode, there are no battery icons at all in the status bar - just the clock and the wifi signal indicator. I opened the /system/app/SystemUI.apk file and verified that the modifications (stat_sys_battery.xml and 100 battery image files) are indeed there, but for some reason they're not being picked up. I've tried using both the normal tablet statusbar and the quicknav tablet statusbar v2, but no battery icons show up anywhere, though the notifications pop-up contains the text percentage next to my network name. Any help would be much appreciated... Thanks in advance!

I tried installing it twice, once just straight up, and the second time after wiping the cache and Dalvik cache. Got the same result for both, and the same thing as when I tried it initially a few days ago - no battery icon is visible at all now. This version of Jandycane has an option to have the percentage overlaid on top of the icon, and since I had that option enabled now all I can see is that number where the icon should be. What should I try next?

Before I started doing any of this I copied the original SystemUI.apk. I'm back on that original file now, so it should be the original sys_stats_battery.xml, too.

So...any thoughts, or am I just plain stuck?
