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.
Hey Gyus,
I have made a terrible mistake with some app installed in /system/app directory.
I made a dump of that directory in my sd card but I don't have the rights to copy the files black to their original place.
The problem is when I reset my phone, The phone reboots and I can't pass the welcome activity. The button under language selection is not activated.
Do You know how to find the original rom, or any custom rom so I can use my phone?
The recovery mode displays this version of acer
Acer_AV0L0_T04_1.006.00_EMEA_GEN1
thank you for your help

So I was strolling through fixing my phone (again), and I came across the revovery.img file in the firmware. I began to think wouldn't it be nice if someone could look at the file and find the part that allows a breach through secure download. Then add that to the CWM Philz touch file (found on another forum) I was wondering if that is in anyway shape or form possible? Sorry if this is a stupid question...
ok i made a mistake,
I tried upgrading my default keyboard to the S7 Edge keyboard and it did not work.
