[Q] Apex launcher & CM9

Hi !
I just put CM9 nighlty and the Matr1x's kernel on my Nexus S but now, I can't copy the Apex apk on /system/app.
Does someone have ever experienced this ?

Try installing it , allow SU permissions. After that, clear defaults and data. I've did it that way and it always works. I can try it right now just to double check. You can try using root explorer or an equivalent. Mount the system R/W, copy the apk and move it to the system folder. You may have to reboot the phone though. Ive did it that way once.

Why don't you just enable the root option and get the same functionality?

That's what I was getting at. Lol. For some reason, at least for me, you have to untick and retick the Widgets in drawer function for it to work .

It worked !!
Thanks you !!

[Q] Swype - Need some help since update ICS

Hello,
Anyway when I first got my one s I was able to install swype onto it without any problems, I like it A LOT more then the default junk on it. So last night I wanted the new tmob update, and since I had root and SU I had to do all the voodoo to unroot and relock my phone before hitting it with the RUU.
So now I got it updated and then got root and SU back, so I reinstall all my stuff onto it. I get to installing the swype beta onto it, but this time I get an error saying "error: this screen size is not supported. Check beta.swype.com/android/faq for a list of supported sizes"
Did the screen dpi get changed with the new update or did I miss something?
I think I maybe wrong, I am on 1.53.531.16 710RD which I don't think is the newest tmob. Also when I check for update it's not finding one.

The new Swype beta installer should work. Get it from the official site. They fixed that bug.

Did that this morning and got the error. I'll delete and re download to check.
Yup, same error. Can you host the install apk for me?

It is my understanding that you need to do the 3 dot menu mod before Swype thinks your screen size is OK.

No, that's not true, you do not need any mod. My One S is completely stock and swype works fine. I will try to upload the apk and PM you with it.

Must be something I did, your copy is giving a parse error.
LOL Now I see why the error, what you uploaded is only a 1kb file.

Try this one, it's the actual one...
Do not flash, just unpack and install like any other .apk
MOD EDIT: apk removed. Swype apk is not allowed to be distributed on xda.

Thanks, and it works fine. Just that was the CORE apk and not the installer, I am not going to knock it. But now when I goto type an icon in the upper left shows a keyboard, I don't recall it but whatever I can live with it.

It asks you to enable swype.
Maybe due to a bug this happens when opening certain programs and returns, also it's enabled. Make shure to check swype settings in settings -> language & Keyboard -> swype.

Yes, it worked without any issues. Just needed to turn it on in the settings unlike with the installer where it does it for you. I threw it up on my dropbox so next time if I get this issue again I got a plan.
Well about 2 mins ago it just installed the core files on it's own and synced my license number up. Neat.

I have not installed the update yet (don't feel like reflashing recovery etc.) But I get that "enable Swype" notification in the status bar (with keyboard icon) quite often.
I love Swype, but it's just a keyboard...how long does beta need to be???

Stock news & weather widget

I recently switched to Crash V6 XXLRG 4.0.4 ROm which is absolutely superb
The only thing I miss is the stock Samsung 4 x 1 news & weather widget.
Having saved it from a previous LQ2 stock ROM, I have reinstalled and can use the associated app but the widget itself did not install.
Is there any way of being able to install it?
Thanks in advance...

Hi - I think so in so far as I used the install app function on CWM and clicked yes when the blurb came up about it being a system app and did I want to replace it...

Thanks for taking the trouble to upload this Dr. Ketan - I installed it but unfortunately no change; it works as an app but no 4 x 1 widget!

Thanks Dr Ketan & afilopou - finally worked out how to do this and have moved it to the system app folder, and changed the permission to the same as all the other apps in the folder, namely -rw-r-r-- but widget still does not appear in the add to home screen widget gallery ...
Am I doing something wrong?
I would welcome any other suggestions!

You did it correctly.
And you need to reboot
another thing are you sure you are not using autostart or same application and you have disable to load this appl on boot? this also cause not to display on widget list.

2 steps forward, 1.5 steps back!
I have updated CRASH to v7, widget now installed, however neither the widget or app will actually work - I get an error message saying "network error - try again later" which means I can't acess any news at all!
NB. Wif/data/downloads are working for everything else
There must be a way of rectifying this?!

Thanks for the guide, worked well. I could not get ES filemanager to delete apk's so used twrp in recovery and used twrp file manager to delete files. No need to apologise for english, the guide's language is excellent!
Keith

Info
To delete,paste,etc... system partition with ES filemanager you need to set permision in the app ==>settings==>Root Explorer==>Mount R/W==>select R/W for all.

Radio works fine. It does keep shutting down when changing settings but I can live with that. When I press ABOUT button it reports version 2.3 even tho I have installed 3.1. I used ES explorer {set the rw permissions in settings} to install apk and it reported 3.1 installation overwrite ok. Should I uninstall 2.3 before installing 3.1?
many thanks for guide

If the system ui is deleted it should boot black background but it should boot... in anycase you made a nandroid backup before editing system files right?

That's surely the right way!
If you change directly SystemUi.apk with a root explorer, your device becomes instantly unusable, you can't even change permissions.
At least, it's my experience with other devices.

Yup. Usually modifying critical files on the /system partition is best in the twrp recovery file manager to avoid crashes and malfunctions and all that other craZy stuff.
