HTC Keyboard installation on Magic Dev build (CRA71C)

I've been trying the various ROM builds (SFR 1.3,Hero and G2 Sapphire port) and found them slow/buggy but really only really wanted the HTC keyboard as opposed to the standard Android installed one. I then got hold of the HTC keyboard app "key.apk" and installed it
I can see it in "Locale&Text" as TouchInput and can enable it. The problem is I can't disable the built in one (Android Keyboard). Does anyone know how I can go about uninstalling/disabling the built in one so that the TouchInput one becomes active using abd for example?
Cheers
Dave

I think that would be like this:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
adb install key.apk <- i dont know where you can find this app i think in the original rom from your provider.
I dont now if this works but in roger thread somebody wrote it.
BR.

yes, you can't disable the HTC default keyboard, but I've seen the solution in one other topic on xda
First select the language keyboard you need and then go to where you want to type
When you're typing, press long the trackball or press on the text box and you'll see "Input method" (it's "mode de saisie" in french), and then you can select the new keyboard.

Thanks for your speedy replies. HTC_IME.APK doesn't exist in the APP folder...:

...so I tried the last suggestion and could select the keyboard but it just force closes as soon as selected. Back to the drawing doard for me (different apk maybe)...

I followed haykuro's instruction to get Touch Input as one of the option and it worked.

Result!!
Thanks for that. I hadn't installed the libt9.so library file which was causing the problem. Works a treat now and as a bonus, seems to stay as the default keyboard. I was expecting to have to select the HTC keyboard each time I wanted to use the keyboard.
Thanks very much for all your help guys!

I followed this too (and from post #3)and I love the new keyboard.

[MOD] Extreme deblur

Hello everyone, I've been playing with my defy on 2.51.1 blur for a while, trying to deblur it to the bone I removed a lot of stuff without messing with the standard phone operations like sms or mail sync, and I freed up almost 100mb of RAM.
Now I'm fine tuning my removal procedures but I'd like to start a sort of "mapping" of the remaining apps, in order to avoid renaming the wrong apk and finding myself with some broken funtions, which I'll probably discover in a month or so when I'll have forgot all my tweaks..
So here we are, the next list is the "non standard" apps I left untouched, mainly because I did not know what they do and cannot find any useful info online.
They may be "blur" or may not, so help identifying their usage would be good

Thank you all and sorry for the huge post.. hope it'll be useful to someone

just to clarify something, I know I left some blur apps in the "untouchable" list, but I did on purpose for different reasons. Sometimes an app is needed to properly use the contact list or send sms, sometime removing it made the phone really slow.. so I left them unrenamed

Well, as the APK's in the system/app folder differ depending on the ROM you use, this list might not be useful for all roms, but thanks for sharing, i hope this helped removing bloatware for many people.

2.51.1 Italy to be precise
JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTIT030.0R_USAJORDANRTIT_P044_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz
The France one has exactly the same apps btw

Good work! Think it would be a good idea to put the actual lists in spoiler tags so they're easier to scroll through

sorry for a noob question. how do i delete the pre-installed apk? let's say i do not want to use the standard browser or launcher? i want to sort of create a nandroid as per my own customisation

BlurHome.apk
BlurHome.odex
Quickoffice_BasicViewer_2.0.54.apk
Fota.apk
Fota.odex
voice recognition
and some other file (amazon, revolver, etc), also can be deleted.
But before delete BlurHome, install other HOME app, like launcher pro \ go launcher ex \ etc.

source for bat file:
extreme moto deblur.bat (pastebin.com)
\\\ Before RUN, install any HOME app, like launcher PRO / go launcher ex / etc.
\\\ Remove "%~dp0\adb" shell rm system/app/Swype.apk string, if you need swype.
\\\ Also, will be nice if busybox are installed.
-save as ANY_NAME.bat
-put in ADB dir
-RUN.
DON'T RUN this if you not fully understand all string in this file.
---------
upd.1: add 8 string

I deleted blurhome.apk and found myself with 100% cpu occupacy all the time, as soon as I put it back where it belonged the cpu usage returned to normal so... not a good idea to remove blurhome, believe me.
as soon as I remove voice recognition I get an error popup which won't go away even if I reboot the phone, it keeps popping out, so voice recognition has to stay
quickoffice has nothing to do with blur, it's an application I might want to use, same for revolver and amazon. I mean, I DO remove them, but they're not blur related

UgduiBill, hasn't any problem with 100% cpu usage.
voice recognition error only popup before restart, after restart no error. it's popup, because services is worked, when file removed.

I read a lot of comments about cpu usage removing blurhome, maybe it's different depending on the rom, I don't know.
Same story for voice recognition, I keep having that popup if I remove it.. but, no big deal, it's not blur related, I don't think it really slows down the phone
I'm more concerned about *moto* and *blur" apps/services

I'm using official froyo korea rom on my defy and it hasn't kodak perfect touch kpt.apk.
I want to install kpt.Anyone upload kpt.apk to anywhere please.

UgduiBill, voice recognition service always stay in memory, properly because of this, I removed it and I just never used this service.

fine for me.

Please help me getting the missing system apk!!

Hi,
when I first received my tf300, I rooted it and installed titanium backup, and I used the titanium backup to remove some of the system apk, as I thought I no longer needed them. (I used to do this w/my samsung galaxy s)
However this action completely screwed up the firmware, I am still using .17 (ww) and couldn't upgrade the firmware to the latest version .30!
after some help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697283
I figured that I need to push the missing apk back to the system folder in order to upgrade my firmware.
So, if you have (ww) can you please get me the following apks from /system/app folder:
GenieWidget.apk
Kindle-OEM.apk
MyCloud.apk
PRAndroid.apk
PlusOne.apk
ZinioReader.apk
any help is appreciated! :victory::victory:

anyone?

hope this helps, i've had frustrating moments with android too!

Its rooted and has busybox installed.
It should be noted, that these do not flash a kernel. When we get access to our boot partition, you'll need to flash a stock boot.img if you came from an AOSP-based rom. (Stock boot.img flashable via odin here (flash in PDA slot): http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/stock.kernel.tar )
CWM: zip
ODIN (unzip this first, flash in PDA slot): tar.md5.zip
Zip of the removed APK's (not flashable, you'll have to manually push these): zip
^^ make sure when adding these if they have an associated odex file that you add that too
EXTRA CREDIT:
flashable stock android apps (from cm9) (will remove their touchwiz counterpart): http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/stock.android.apps/

Thanks for this. Plan on flashing this shortly after I get my phone this week.

Excellent work!
The only question I have and didn't see in the OP was this:
According to Chainfire, there is a process that Samsung silently uses to check for root. This process is called com.sec.android.app.sysscope
http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/118/Triangle_Away_vs_Samsung/
Has it been disabled in this ROM?

clearly....... this rom is rooted..........

Does this have the notification area toggles removed? I'd much rather use a third-party app for that...

There are a few things on the list of apk's that I'd want to keep. Would it be safe for me to delete the ones on your list in Root Explorer though?
Also I swapped out the messaging app to CM9 version and email app to stock ICS already. Hated the Touchwiz versions.

You misunderstand...
This process does not PREVENT root, it silently checks in the background to see IF the user is rooted. If so, the process supposedly phones this data to Samsung's servers so that they know who is rooted or not.
I'm asking to see if this process has been disabled or not since it can still exist on a rooter ROM.

Is this as simple as swapping out apks? What CM9 messaging apk did you use? Did you have to mess with APNs at all?
Sorry for all the questions but I hate the stock messaging app. I've already deleted the email app and use Enhanced Email.
Thanks!

Yeah it was simple. Got the apk here. In Root Explorer, I just renamed the secmessaging.apk to secmessaging.apk.bak and then copied/pasted the Mms.apk into system/apps then changed the permissions, rebooted, done. It kept the current texts too and I tested sending/receiving sms & mms already.

This is great progress now all we need is the original wifi toggle back and Verizons stupid one gone

flashable zips are at the bottom of the op to accomplish these tasks

So, my understanding is...
1. I need to root and install CWM recovery first.
2. The CWM version and the ODIN version are the same thing, just one is designed for flashing with CWM and the other is for flashing through ODIN? So you pick one or the other? Is flashing through CWM the same process as on other phones? Put on SD card, select the CWM file, and flash it?
3. The zip of removed APK's is just in case we want them back? Otherwise, you don't have to download/install them?
4. After flashing CWM version, I can just flash the gapps and I'll be good to go?

1. yes, but you can use the odin image to accomplish this. it will flash this rom and root you all in one step
2. yes, yes, yes, yes
3. correct
4. don't need to manually install gapps, they are included since they were in the stock rom

Touchwhiz music.zip also adds myfiles, I didnt know if it was a dependency or not. Plus I, and other probably need to use it for USB-OTG cables.

List of system apps safe to delete - bloatware!

Since there is no HTC One SV list of apps safe to delete, I decided to reserch my self and make list for One SV. In general I used as guide line HTC One series...HTC stuff should be more or less all the same, and can be applyed on more phones...also, if it can be freezed without root, should be also safe to remove with root. I cut/paste apps and odex files from /system to /microsd for backup (with es file explorer). Dont like scripts and deleting forever. Posts and threads I used as refference guide are on the bottom! Thx
Im not programer, so this is my small contribution as satisfied OneSV and XDA user!
This is /system/app folder from my phone (HTC One SV - K2_UL), Croatia T-mobile
My phone is htcdev bootloader unlocked, twrp, rumrunner s-off, rooted. Stock OTA 4.2.2
I will write if I know what is app for, and if it is safe to delete. Bold apps I removed and phone is ok (up and running). If something is needed again, I can cut/paste back to /system/app and restart phone.
This post is work in progres, so help is most welcome! I have 3 goals:
1. Pinpoint and delete battery drain apps
2. Determin for every app if it is a) safe, b) maybe or c) DO-NOT-REMOVE
3. Gain space by removing unused, unwanted apps
For now I did Bold apks I removed. Later I will write app description...
For those who dont know, why I deleted apps if I could freeze:
I deleted Gmail app on system because I updated Gmail app (so I have newer version on /data also). When removed from /system/app I cut paste version from /data/app to /system/app. Same for PlayStore, Google TTS, GMS, etc.
SuperSu i updated through TWRP option! Works ok.
Also, some apps cant be freezed, and sucks on battery. I dont like that if I dont use them!
Gain in space is cca 500MB cca 160 apps

Job is not done yet. Theres more apps I think can be deleted but not sure. I deleted those I not use and I am sure are safe to delete...Now coms the hard part - to dare delete questionable apps...! Thats why I need help - if someone know that some apps are NO GO, that I dont mess up my phone...Or if some of not bolded are sure to delete... There are some I didnt delete and are safe to delete but I use them...
In next days I will for sure delete some more - lockscreen themes etc. HTC stuff is most questionable - dont know what did they connect them with...
But if I mess up - i think twrp have file manager, so I can get critical apps back!? Is that correct?

Check out this thread as well. You should take a look at the .zip and review the text inside to determine what is also good too. I have used it and had no personal issues running 4.1.2.

I have twrp backup. But dont want to go through restore alredy...
About romcleaner 6.0 - i go through that also, must look for those apps i am unsure, but it is for sense 4 not 5...there are some differences, some app dont extist any more, new are present etc. So rom cleaner for HTC One is closes call i think.
Dont like that grouping of apps - alphabetical order is better. I go from top to botom and delete. With rom cleaner lists is torture...but, im getting there!
If I need RUU, then I would need to downgrade to ICS, downgrade hboot or something like thet? Because there is no 4.2.2 RUU, just OTA?

you could just move the apps from /system/apps to somewhere like /sdcard/ext_sd/questionable_apps_to_delete
then if anything "Bugs out" on you just place them back to /system/apps and set permissions to rw-r--r abd reboot to fix.

I did just that, deleted few apps more and phone wont start now. Stays htc One beats audio white screen...I moved back apps to system app and changed chmod to 644 but it still wont to start. What did I wrong? I used twrp file manager to get apps and odex files back.
1. Mount System
2. copy paste apps back to system app
3. change chmod to 644 each app and odex i moved back
4. clear dalvik and cashe
5. dont want to boot
--> update, it is ok now. It was IdleScreen_ files.
I didnt get them back, just 6 of others. And those 5 i disregarded...It seems they are important.
About twrp and getting files back:
1. mount system
2. File manager copy paste apps from sd card to system/app one by one (apk and odex)
3. Change permisions apks and odexes one by one to chmod 755 (big button in twrp)
4. Click big button Fix permission - just in case...
5. Reboot
There is no fear, twrp is powerful!
More apps safe to delete:
MyGoogleTaskPlugin.apk
MyTask.apk
MyTaskWidget.apk
HtcNotes.apk

/system/lib/libnotesprovider_jni.so

DO NOT DELETE:
IdleScreen_Widget; .._shortcut; .._productivity; _photo; _Music_WVGA;
there is also basic and without lockscreen i think...
Phone wont boot if you delete those (even if you dont use them).
Didnt, check with and without each and everyone - but when removed those 5 phone stuck at htc white screen!

it's safe to delete all of the lock screen, face lock, and idle_screen apks.
I never tried just deleting one or two, so I've always delete all of them.
thanks for the heads up.

When I get them back, phone turned on! I also was thinking they are unimportant...so was thinking vpndialog is fault or fdhttp...so i put them back and stil nothing.. until idle screens i returned..
Maybe it didnt turn on because I selected without lockscreen one idllescreen..and you basic? What are your settings and are deleted now your idlescreens?
UPDATE 14.3.2014 - I notice that in stock sms app I cant add photo from gallery, just take new photo. Maybe because I deleted galery and quickpic isnt listed there...also in quickpic when option share selected, there is no sms app to select. But thats not important since MMS isnt used much. Handcent solves that problems. I prefer handcent because it is more confugurable - notifications etc....

I don't use any of the idle screens so I delete them all.
plus the HTC lock screen
plus the face lock....
everything is fine when I do this, nothing hangs phone still boots like normal......

Difference info also helps!

you can safely remove GoogleContactsSyncAdapter and GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter if you don’t wish to sync your contacts and calendar to google. also GoogleBackupTransport if you don't wish to backup your data to google.

I know. There is more safe to delete apps. Must write it down. But thats not big crapware...most people use it..

How can i get default gallery apk?
I use JBStocklight by Matlevo12 ROM (JB 4.1.2). When i extraclean the ROM, i delete by mistake default gallery apk from system/app . How can i extract that default gallery apk from rom image? (i don't know the exact name).
I still can view photos with QuickPic or File Manager, but i can't add photo to any contact, because the phone.apk use default gallery ( i supose). That's the reason because i what back that standard gallery viewer. (when i try it to add/change contact photo, i get the error "No pictures are available on your phone.")
Thanks.

I think, what you are searching is HTCAlbum.apk.
Extract it from the zip (system/app/) and copy it in the same place on your phone (using a root explorer).
Set permission to rw- r-- r-- (like the other apks) and reboot.

Try to setup contact photo from web - on gmail and then sync.
Also maybe you can setup photo from quickpic - set photo as contact...

I deleted the android system webview folder. Email folder and exchange services folder on system/app. Will bringing them back solves whitescreens and force stops in my phone when it wants to go to web?
