ive search around the forums and all. don't want the custom one. just wanted the stock android version with a compact qwerty version on it. i installed a custom from for my sister inlaw but she doesn't wanna get used to the keyboard keyboard and just wanted that compart qwerty. please help anyone i can't find that darn thing.
It looks like the "stock" one isn't working very well with a few ROMs (Froyo/Cyanogen-based ones, that is) and you have to go the "custom" route. You can make it stock-looking though.
is that the same as a vanilla keyboard? cause evil rom i think has one but its a vanilla keyboard wasn't sure if it has a compact qwerty option you can do on it.

Just a guess, but you probably need the lib file for it also.
Sent from my FroShedYo.V6 using XDA App
no lib should be required (maybe libt9.so) for the keyboard... but, if you want to use it, you will need both the HTC_IME.apk file and the Clicker.apk file (they are tied together).
that being said, i'm not sure how HTC has (if at all) the keyboard tied into framework, etc (i.e., not sure how well it works on a non-sense ROM).
i have zipped up all three files (including the libt9.so) file for you and attached to this post.
the two apk files will need to be in /system/app and the lib in /system/lib
reboot, and test - please keep in mind that i did not try this... as i've used the jonasl keyboard with every ROM and actually remove the stock keyboard. i would try WITHOUT the lib first, and if it doesn't work, try with. either way, BE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD NAND BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
(still not sure why this one is not an option for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416 - only "real" difference to the "average" user would be the addition of the mic and smileys... neither of which affect the usability in a negative way. in fact, they make the "stock" keyboard MUCH better).
good luck!
The HTC keyboard works just fine on non-Sense ROMs.

bare with me cause i'm new to this. is it possible to take an apk from aloysius and put it into senseable or vice versa. i like the clock from one and the keyboard from another. not to say that those are the roms, might take something from evil eris or another one.
it depends on what kind of app it is,i think that the clock one you should be able to transfer no problem, but I don't know about the keyboard.

Yes it would be nice to port friend stream into leak3. I tried but I'm not a dev and it did not work. Something is not compatible between the sprint rom's and the Verizon based one's.

If it's an .apk from /data/app or /system/app and it's NOT odex'd (is there a corrosponding .odex file in the same directory> If so, it's odex'd) you should be able to move it over without issue.
That doesn't mean it will function 100%, but if it's just a keyboard or clock, there shouldn't be any conflict there - unless the clock is an HTC widget, those are a little trickier.
So every Droid X keyboard I've tried doesn't work, basically. Does anyone out there have a working one that is compatible with Nonsensikal 16.1 or FroYo in general? I've been using an HTC keyboard and am getting bored of it, and loved the X's keyboard on my Eris before I rooted it...

Have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021
Yeah, that was the most recent one I tried. Unless I'm doing something wrong, it won't work. I'm using Root Explorer to put both files in their respective directories, and that includes completely over writing the libjni_latinime.so in /system/lib. I reboot the phone, and there aren't any options that were there from before in the Language and Keyboards menu. And when I try to select the new keyboard, I get a force close error. Any ideas as to what may be going wrong?
Also, I extracted the .zip before I moved the files, in case that matters.
This is the one I would LOVE to get working, specifically the black/red special one in the third post. Although its SUPPOSED to work with FroYo, I can't seem to get this to work either...

Not real sure.. haven't tried it myself but it should work.
Maybe I'll try uninstalling the stock keyboard first. I would need to remove LatinIME.apk, LatimImeTutorial.apk, and libjni_latinime.so, right? Anything else?
Yep, you need to remove the apk. The lib will overwrite, but might as well delete.

Okay so I got the one by Kaos to work. I had to delete the keyboard files from the /system/app and /system/lib. Its amazing! Only problem is that the font on the keys is incredibly small, and that seems to be a problem with CM6. I don't think I mind it so much, I can still see the letters and stuff...but we'll see. Any fixes for this that you know of in the mean time?
Also note: The keyboards in the link that I posted, they don't work. Based on the devices in the thread they're from they're only meant to work on hi res devices =[ oh well.
ok, am a newbie here and this is my first post, so please be gentle if i go wrong or violate any rule of the forum. basically, i wish to know what are the applications that we can strip out of the MiniCM6 ROM. i got rid of many .apk's which i felt was not actually needed by me. Eg - Development.apk, DPS Manager .apk, CMWallpapers.apk, LiveWallpapers.apk, etc.
i also got rid of the stock MiniCM camera app and replaced with the Stock SE Mini camera app...the picture quality has improved significantly than the MiniCM's bundled camera app.
Could you pls shed some light on how exactly you ported the stock SE camera to miniCM6 as i ve been trying this for a while now but still not able to. Thanks.
please make a rom, call it "Minimalist MiniCM" for the average joe. ill beta test!

get root explorer v2.15,install it and open it.tap "mount as r/w", next go to your root/system/app (again tap "mount as r/w" if it is r/o) and delete the "camera.apk" there. then, copy the attached file (DO not install now) to root/system/app. next, "click and hold" the copied file and open "permissions" and tick all the permissions. next click the camera.apk and select "install". done!!
enjoy your Camera!!!!....the only problem is that if you have to delete your file, u have to navigate it manually and delete it, u cannot delete it in the "camera preview" mode, it will FC the camera.

that is a nice idea, but since it is just a stripped down version of a ROM, will i not be violating any rules or something????....u know, i am a noob, not very much familiar with the rules of the forum
since i have uninstalled MOST of the apps, my battery life has increased significantly. the available space in phone storage is 202 MB!!!!!....i even got rid of MOST of the "data" involving apps including GMaps,street plugin & twitter(Silly, i know!!! but i actually don't need them and they run on the background to eat up the battery and also my available data).
the overall experience is the cell runs faster and the battery is almost running for 1 and a half day with moderate to heavy use.
i am already convinced, make a rom AND RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC! plz
My changes:
The following apps are removed:
1.AndroidTerm.apk
2.CarHomeGoogle.apk
3.CarHomeLauncher.apk
4.CMWallpapers.apk
5.Development.apk
6.DSPManager.apk
7.GenieWidget.apk
8.GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk (don't get anxious, u WILL get a google search box, EVEN if i removed this )
9.HTC_IME_lo15.apk
10.Launcher2.apk
11.LauncherPro -0.8.4.1.apk
12.LiveWallpapers.apk (livewallpaperpicker.apk is still there, so u can pick your own LWP, just uninstalled the included livewallpapers)
13.MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
14.MAPS.apk (silly, i know )
15.MUSIC.apk (replaced it with the 2.3 Gingerbread music app)
16.Radio.apk
17.Soundback.apk
18.SoundRecorder.apk
19.street.apk
20.LatinIME.apk (installed the gingerbread keyboard instead)
21.Camera.apk (uninstalled the MiniCM camera app and replaced it with the stock SE x10 mini camera app. the quality of the pictures are better and the video recording got back the continious autofocus back )
22. VoiceSearch.apk
23.VoiceDialer.apk
Added:
1. Simple Task Manager .apk
2.App 2 SD pro.apk
3.Stock SECamera.apk
4.Gingerbread keyboard.apk
5.Zeam Launcher (it is the lightest launcher which incoporates multitouch "pinch to zoom")
6.RootExplorer v2.15 .apk
7.SlideIT keyboard .apk (Swype replacement for x10 mini)
My question is, can i release it WITHOUT offending respectable developers and the forum rules????
who would it offend? as long as you are using only free apps though. :S
Thanks for the detailed instructions. Is the picture quality really that different? Can you please post 2 pics if possible?

Give proper credits and links to the original ROM in your main post and I doubt anybody will be offended
As long as you give people credit it's fine, everything is open source, thats the beauty of Android.
Having said that, I don't really see the point of doing it! It would be much easier for people wanting a stripped version just to uninstall the apps themselves. Get Titanium Backup from the market and uninstall all the .apk files listed in a previous post and you've done it! Much easier than having to backup everything, and install a Rom then fiddle with all your settings again to get them all how you like them

Hello!
First and foremost i apologize if this has already been answered (I'd guess it has since it's a pretty basic question). I tried doing various searches (here and google) and all they brought back was how to install APK files . My question is if I take an APK from my phone can I install it on another device? Sorry I'm still a bit new to Android and dont know much about how APKs work and if there is security restrictions embedded in them making them only work on the device they were downloaded to or anything of the sort.
Thanks!
To my knowledge there are no such restrictions on APKs. You can pull them from one phone to be installed on others as you see fit.
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

If it's system apk's you will run into issues when pulling from different phones. All really depends
Running ICScrewD ROM
yes and no. basically whats been said. a system app (aka one that i on the phone after a stock flash) will most likely not work from phone to phone unless it is the same type of phone on the same rom. however market type apps (including downloaded apps from the internet) will most likely transfer from phone to phone
Astro manager extracts non system apps you have installed into apks. Makes it ridiculously easy to send an app you have to your friends. Your app data is not included in the apk. One of the best features of astro manager in my book.

Hello,
I've been on stock kernel/OS since I bought my unbranded I9100 some time ago, that means Gingerbread 2.3.4, I9100XXKI1, Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 (rooted, of course).
I'm thinking about trying CM9 or CM10, just for fun. I think I know pretty well what to expect, but am trying to figure out if there are things I will be missing. As far as I can tell, the following will change significantly:
- Touchwiz launcher replaced, of course. No biggie.
- Swype will be gone, right? I played around with CM way back, and there seemed to be some discussions about how to take Swype with you, but I assume this will be rather hard when going from Gingerbread to JB? Or is there a good way to keep it (without buying it separately)? I like it rather a lot...
- The four hubs (Social Hub etc.) will be gone. Good riddance, as well, I've never used any of them.
- I've not used any of the Samsung remote features (to locate a stolen/lost device; OTA, or KIES), so I guess they will be gone, but I won't miss them.
Is there anything else I've missed that's been added by Samsung? I want to avoid a problem where I don't actually notice anything important missing at first, and then noticing weeks later...
Thank you for your time!

You could use titanium backup to backup all of your (system) apps. If something (important) turns out to be missing, you can restore it easily. Apart from that, flash it, you won't be disappointed. Good luck with exploring all the possibilities.

Apps only in touchwiz wont work in aosp roms since they are deeply integrated within the touchwiz framework, so no use backup app system apps nor system data. Restoring system data may cause problems ranging from bootloops to force closes.

Alright, the clock. I use that a lot, all of it (alarm + timer + stopwatch). That would be a bummer to loose, I guess there will be some useful replacements on the market though.
There are plenty of camera apps around. Can I safely assume that the picture quality (as it is) will be the same as with the stock camera app? I use the camera for taking pictures, I need no effects, online stuff etc. around photos. In fact I am not that happy with the stock camera, as I find it tough to shoot a photo when I don't see the screen... so I'll be happy to hunt for a camera app that supports some of the hardware buttons for shooting.
