Zingkey - wtf is that ?! - HTC Desire S

Hello, what is Zingkey ?
I haven't installed this app. I don't remember if it was before in Settings -> Language & Keyboards.
I just installed busybox and then appextractor, and market showed up update for this application.
Was it preinstalled in ICS ruu, or did i get some kind virus or something like that.
Sorry for noob question.

Have you zingkey there ?

Yes, HTCs stock ROM for ICS comes with two or three pre-installed keyboards for non-latin languages.
ZingKey is one of them.

Thx, i got scared a bit from it.

I just removed it together with the thai keyboard using titanium backup (root required).

If you're root, you can use ADB in recovery mode to move the JS_Keyboard.apk from /system/app somewhere else, which removes Thai Keyboard and Zinga (and stops that "choose input" icon from appearing)
Once in recovery, connect to computer and open "adb shell" (on windows, open CMD as administrator and type "adb shell"
Use these commands in numerical order. Anything without a number next to it is a note for you to read but not type in. Also dont type the number or the fullstop immediately after it
1. mount /system
2. mount /sdcard
ignore any errors
3. mkdir /sdcard/device_files
we make a folder to move the apk into for backup - you never know when you want the original back in place
4. cd /system/app
move to the apps folder
5. mv JS_Keyboard.apk /sdcard/device_files
move the app from your system to the backup folder
6. reboot
your phone will reboot with no thai keyboard or zingkey!
Also if you want to put it back (for any reason) then get back into recovery with adb shell, then do in order: 1. 2. 4. then the command: mv /sdcard/device_files/JS_Keyboard.apk /system/app" then "reboot"

You can disable zing key and thai keyboard without root using regular application settings.

to answer the original question:
It was included in the update. Ignore it if it isn't bothering you, removing wouldn't harm system either.

how ?

The keyboard in notification bar - asking me which keyboard do I want was quite annoying.
I uninstalled Zingkey as well as Thai Keyboard via Titanium Backup, no problems ;]

how to install an new ime for gtab?

I downloaded and installed an new ime which supports hand-writing input. It seems istalled ok and running. When i tried to input something, the tap' n tap keyboard always shows up and i can't use the new one. Do i need to remove the tap 'n tap first?
Assuming you're running either stock VS TnT or TnTlite, search the forums for replacement/alternative keyboards, there are two ways of activating installed alternative input method, one involves temporarily flashing stock android settings app, enabling your keyboard and flashing VS TnT settings back, second requires modifying the permissions via adb shell or something similar. I personally find flashing stock settings app is easier. Reboot, flash stock, reboot, go to settings, put a checkbox next to your keyboard(s), reboot, flash VS app, reboot, your keyboard is now activated and can be selected.
Once your input method is activated, long press on input box will display a popup where you can switch input method from TnT to yours. You don't need to remove TnT keyboard, you can switch to any (activated) keyboard on the fly using this long press technique.

Which firmware is on your Gtab? Also which IME?
You can try copying the apk file from /data/app to /system/app, then reboot.

I think you will need to modify apk's permission bits after copying to fully activate it. It is in the forums somewhere...

BlueStacks android on windows out now !!

Alpha out today
http://bluestacks.com/download.html
You can install any apk from your phone to the bluestack windows client really cool but some can't (I guess for security reasons) anyone has been able to install a terminal successfully ?!
If someone is interested https://www.facebook.com/groups/185729648172160/
Thanks, I was going to post it too.
I am curious to try it and see how it works..
Been workin on this, GingerBreak failed (not surprising), seems to be no way to "reboot" bluestacks (tried QuickBoot, ButtonSavior, etc.). Anyone managed to find out where BS is mounting the android system, and if there's any way to decompile it?
Buttons are pretty easy to skin =)

It likely cant be rooted without rebuilding the image, which might mean a bluestacks specific rooter. The image the fs is stored on is a read only fs type
Market !
Hi, I was able to run market (and other G-apps) on Bluestack.
Root is not necessary.
Extract and install the files in this order (click on .apk file -> "open as" -> choose HD-ApkHandler.exe from bluestack installation dir. to install):
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
OneTimeInitializer.apk
SetupWizard.apk
Talk.apk
Vending.apk
Gmail.apk
Maps.apk
Using an home replacement setup your account and.. you are in!

Gmail will not sync, Market throws network error when clicking on an app... still, good find, we're makin progress on day 1 =)
Nvm, got gmail/sync working... still network errors with Market

Old market 1.82 vs 3.2 but nice anyway
Things that needs that emulator are:
1.ROOT!
2.A home button that leads you to your launcher's homescreen
3.Windowed mode
It will be perfect for all netbooks.
Been using ButtonSavior for the home button
I have gotten the market to install and open but when I select an app to install it, an error pops up "A server error has occurred. Retry or Cancel to return to the previous screen" Any Ideas?

I thought ButtonSavior required root? How are you using it?
Location?
I opened the maps app and it lists "my location" as Lewistown, PA
I'd like to know why. It can't go off wifi or GPS. How is it getting this info. It's not exactly correct, but it's an hour away, so maybe there is something to it. It could be hardcoded, is this where the dev is from? Anyone else have lewistown?

Not for the home button, power still not functioning at all
I can't seem to get any apps to install whether it's sync (which doesn't seem to work right) or right clicking on an .apk file.
This has a lot of potential, I just wish I could get it to work right. Maybe I'll reinstall it and try again.

it can, but need to edit regitry, so do at your own risk.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\FrameBuffer\0
inside change FullScreen to 0 (default is 2)
then change width and height(decimal or hex), then restart computer
Restart is not required, you can do on the fly resizing, just need to close the agent and restart
1. I installed ADW launcher EX
2. Got Market to work, thanks to following post
http:// forum.xda-developers.com/
show...28&postcount =7
The apps can be downloaded. It gives error everytime, but press RETRY a couple of times and you will be able to install the app.
I downloaded the Dropbox and installed many apps from there.
The apps which are not supported in the above MARKET (its old version of market), failed to open (like Glow Hockey Pro failed but Air Hockey was
installed successfully).
Apparently this device is HTC MAGIC or HERO. The android vrsion running is 2.3.4 but all the wallpapers are from 1.5. It doesnt support Flash, and doesnt allow
advanced apps to run.
Also I tried to update MARKET but it failed to install.
3. I entered Android Initial Setup mode, finger pressed the Android logo but it didnt go further.

set Swiftkey 3 to system and default keyboard

hi all i successfully change the default samsung keyboard with swiftkey X simply copy in system/app and blocking the samsung keyboard, now when i erase ram the default keyboard is swiftkey (first of mod, when i use script v6 than i erase ram i must to go to set every time the swiftkey but with this metod i resolve it)....now the problem, i try to use the same passage but using the new beta of swiftkey 3 but a recive force close constantly....how to resolve????
Change permissions for it after you push to the system folder and restart your phone. That might help.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
was my first try but don't work....work only with swiftkey X.... but i don't know why....
You need to install it after you push it to the system folder. Just click the apk and select install
i try to install after copy in system/app and work But when restart phone give force close
EDIT:
now work!!! i do this passage
1- install swiftkey normally and configure it
2- freeze all other keyboard
3- restart phone
now you have a good work system keybord
I don't know if this is still of interest, but:
This guide for the Nook Color applies to any device when moving keyboard apks to /system/app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369205
You need to move the lib file from "/data/data/**yourkeyboard'sapknamehere**/lib/" to /system/lib.
So in case of SwiftKey it would be /data/data/com.touchtype.swiftkey/lib
At least that did the trick for me - no FCs any more.

[Q] How install deleted system app?

Hello,
I know there're many topics with this question, but I tried everything what people said and nothing works.
I use sgs2, android 4.0.3(XXLPW, rooted), use debugging is enabled.
When I push app to /system/app and set right permissions, application after reboot doesn't appear in drawer,
Sorry, I know my English isn't too good.
Can anyone help me? Maybe I am doing something wrong?
See if the app name has any spaces...
Like (for eg only) : if its "touch wiz.apk", rename it to "touchwiz.apk"
And also check if you have mounted /system as r/w...
Typed using a small touchscreen
I know how UNIXs works, app name is ClockPackage.apk, there isn't any white spaces.
Any app after push to /system/app and set right permissions, doesn't appear in drawer.
I think clockpackage is a widget?
Check, whether after the reboot, the package is still present in /system/app...
Typed using a small touchscreen
Or it is just not compatible with your device/rom
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
it isn't widget, but "clock 1.0"
and it's compatible with my rom, because it's from my rom xd
Try this.Keep it in system/app but also install the apk normally via terminal or file manager because maybe it has to make some data files

topic can be closed, I install new rom.

NEED HELP-Hidden Application installed automatically!

As yesterday I am just searching some apps on play store but at instant my play store closes itself automatically & screen shows application installed successfully. & then my antivirus start scanning app, it started scaning only when new apps are installed. But actually I had not installed any App/UPDATE. Also I have checked in history manahe apps there was no any new apps installed! I was just searching on playstore. & also there is no any autoupdate box is checked, means there is no chance to download update automatically without my knowledge or permission. So is it possible that someone trying to hack my phone by installing hidden apps. If yes! Then how do I check/protect. Please don't advise to do hard reset as I have so tired doing this to install all apps again & again.

Use titanium backup, make sure your only backing up apps that you know are yours. Than factory reset.

Do the following:
1. Open cmd and navigate to the place where your adb is located
2. Type "adb shell" and press enter
3. Type "su" and press enter
4. Type "cd /data/app" and press enter
5. Type "ls" and press enter
6. Find the filename(apk) of the file that you wanted to remove
7. Type "rm <filename>" and press enter. Example, "rm test.apk"
8. If you can't find it at the /data/app
9. Type "cd /system/app" and press enter
10. repeat step 5 to step 7
The app known as Play Store Services was pushed to every device with 2.2+ some time ago, I'm guessing you just got it now
