[Q] Swype / SlideIt / Shapewriter - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't get it. I'm on caulkin and clems 2.2 rom and when I try to change the keyboard it warns me of possible data collection and asks if I want to proceed....but the box wont stay checked. Both slideit and swype do this. I haven't found shapewriter yet. Someone tell what I am doing wrong plz!!!! I can't stand this keyboard.

The rom you are using does not support changes in keyboard. Do this:
1) Open root explorer
2) Navigate to sdcard/data/apps
3) Long press>edit>copy the apk of the keyboard you want to use
4) Navigate in root explorer to system/data/apps
5) Mount r/w
6) Paste
7) Mount r/o
8) <<Do the same for all your other input methods you want to install>>
9) Reboot and it now works.

First, I just wanted to thank you since no one else replied! I tried to upgrade to the latest Calkulin and Clem combo but the tablet doesn't like the newer kernel so I put Pershoot's latest kernel on instead.
Robeet is apparently pulling all his ROMs and developing one called Mountain Laurel. Honestly, I don't know what a good ROM is. I want GPU acceleration so I guess that means I have to use a 2.2 ROM because Ginger doesn't accelerate. And I want NTFS access.
ANYWAAAAYyyyy..... I tried to find the apk in the sdcard/data/apps and it didn't seem to be there. I tried to move the original installer apk file (sitting in my download folder) to the folder you suggested but I'm guessing that it's not THAT apk you are telling me to move. But may be I'm wrong.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Besides this and not getting any EA games to work (??...they won't download additional data) I actually like the ROM I'm on.
So unless you think I should change ROMs or know what I'm doing wrong I guess I'm screwed right now.

Hey,
No problem I was equally new 2 months back and had great help from the community. Next time when you can solve probs for others do it too
I personally love Roebeet's roms so i think TNT Lite is awesome.
If the apk is not there, it is probably in data/apk_private. Btw, if you are using swype, the beta version doesnt seem to work -> i tried a month back. Not sure about slideit. I used shapewriter before on the g tab and found it incredibly ugly haha.
For swype you need a modded version:
Instructions:
1) Google this: swype v2.6.48.12226 wsvga
2) Click on first result
3) Go to post 53 and read it.
Disclaimer: i found this over the net as well.

UPDATED !! Gingerbread Keyboard on NC!!! YAY!

UPDATE: Hotaru has made some updates to the KB apk. this wont work right off the bat though for NC.
Step 1. Download the latest keyboard from here.
Step 1: You must rename you existing GB keyboard or remove it.
Step 2: Then use Root Explorer OR adb push to copy the file to /system/app
Step 3. Click on the gbkb.apk and install it
Step 4. Use Root Explorer and come back to /system/app and modify permissions of the apk file like this
Code:
[SIZE=4][COLOR=Blue]
Read Write Execute
User X X
Group X
Others X
[/COLOR][/SIZE]
Step 5: Reboot your NC and select the new keyboard in NCTools
Detailed steps for installing gingerbread keyboard on NC
A big thanks to hotaru for porting the keyboard to 2.1, ne0fhyk for the keyboard app & nookDev team for all tips..
This post is written on the following assumptions:
1. You have Nook Color
2. You have a firmware 1.0.1 (1.0.0 may work, but i haven't tested this keyboard with it)
3. Rooted it with Autonooter for 1.0.1 - BTW if you used Auto-Nooter, you will have Droid-X keyboard as default NOT the Stock Keyboard.
Step 1. I would recommend that you download the gingerbread 2.1 keyboard (gbkb.apk) from hotaru as there may be updates..
Step 2. --OPTIONAL-- Install Keyboard Manager developed by ne0fhyk (You really don't need this since Autonooter has NCTools app which can be used for the same purpose. the only advantage this tool has is that you can use 2 different keyboards for portrait & landscape ;P)
To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer
Step 3. Backup, remove & install Gingerbread keyboard ( You dont have to remove your old keyboard if you have the keyboard manager installed. so u can choose between autonooter droidx kb if required)
Open your command prompt or console and remount /system as writable.
HTML:
adb shell
#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
#exit
Copy the default keyboard (LatinIME.apk) from /system/app as a backup, as we will be removing this file shortly.
HTML:
adb pull /system/app/LatinIME.apk LatinIME.apk
Transfer your keyboard APK to /system/app
HTML:
adb push gbkb-2.1.apk /system/app
Now we have to Remove LatinIME.apk
HTML:
adb shell
# cd /system/app
# rm LatinIME.apk
# exit
Alternatively, you can rename the LatinIME.apk if you do not wish to delete it, as this will enable you to freely switch back to the stock keyboard layout.
HTML:
adb shell
# cd /system/app
# mv LatinIME.apk KeyboardBackup.apk
# exit
Now Reboot NOOKcolor & enjoy Gingerbread keyboard...
HTML:
adb reboot
See the screenshot below
Once you bring the keyboard up touch the setting button (2nd from lower left) and you'll see the settings screen. you can switch to the droidx keyboard from here but not back. Vibrate dont work yet...
UPDATE: For people having trouble with the keyboard
When you followed the steps and removed the LatinIME.apk without backing it up, you can still get from the post below. After you "push" LatinIME back into /system/app, reboot the NC & follow the instructions (THANKS TO wtd966)
Reinstall the gbkb-2.1.apk using root explorer and it'll work. Here are the steps:
HTML:
Step 1. Using Root Explorer Navigate to /system/app.
Step 2. Click on your GingerBread keyboard apk: gbkb-2.1.apk
Step 3. Click install.
Once re-installed long click in a text field untill you get the option to select input method.
Re-select GingerBread keyboard.
very cool will give it a go after dinner
edit
Woot Got it working thanks to the guide
Thanks my dude!
Worked great for me once I learned to follow directions and not pretend like I knew what I was doing... I love it, great keyboard and doesnt go into full screen mode when in landscape. Much appreciated!
Thanks so much!
I do plan to use this keyboard, but just a quick question--would this work for any keyboard .apk, such as Shapewriter or Swiftkey?
Well I am not so lucky. I followed your instructions to the letter, but now I have no keyboard at all. When I open Keyboard manager the only keyboard listed is in fact GingerBread .... so I check the box, but when I go to type inside any application NO KEYBOARD shows up at all. And I did not back up LatinIME.apk either so I am screwed.
What can I do ?????

Sorry for these questions. but it'll help me solve your problem
1. I want to make sure that you did not INSTALL the apk but did an "adb push" to /system/app
2. did u enable r/w instructions for the keyboard manager?
3. the keyboard can also be changed with "NookColor Tools". If you rooted with AutoNooter, you can see this app
4. always reboot after the process.
5. also can you please let me know what firmware version u have on your NC?

I had the same problem. I reinstalled the apk using root explorer and it worked. Maybe it will work for you. Here are the steps:
Navigate to /system/app.
Click on your GingerBread keyboard apk: gbkb-2.1.apk
Click install.
Once re-installed long click in a text field untill you get the option to select input method.
Re-select GingerBread keyboard.
Good Luck!!
may want to sticky this because i was having the same issue as well
Thanks for the.heads up up, i love this keyboard on my evo... What was your starting point prior to install? Freshly auto nootered 1.01? Xboxes auto script? I think some of the files might be different for those with the modded droid x kb.
madrascafe said:
Just saw a post on XDA elsewhere by hotaru where he posted the GB keyboard for 2.1
Was able to install it and am putting it thro the works.
here are the steps... PLEASE FOLLOW THEM unless u wanna screw up the keyboard. no harm thou, you can always recover.
1. Go HERE and download the keyboard 2.1 - THANKS Hotaru
2. Now go HERE and follow the instructions to install the Keyboard Manager. This is a very cool manager as u can manage the landscape & portrait separately
3. Now head over to NookDevs and backup your LatinIME.apk as described and push the apk you downloaded from step 1.
4. reboot & enjoy
I will write a detailed step-by-step instructions in a bit but wanted to share the excitement..

Autonooter now has NC tools installed with the option to choose the keyboard. Why would we need need to add Keyboard Manager? Is landscape not enabled with NC Tools?

you're right.. no need for the KBM... old habits die hard .. i've also mentioned NCtools in my post..
Great got it working, one question.
I got it working, but every time the keyboard changes from landscape to portrait a pop up says
"Exception caught: java.lang.SecurityException: using null token requires permission android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"
Is this normal or do I need to change permissions on something?

kevin.. i recommend that you start from scratch.. i.e. restore to stock firmware and use autonooter.
1. not sure how you rooted ur NC? did u use autonooter?
2. make sure u have superuser pack in your NC.

yes, but my reason for posting it is because it contains the script to flash along with it being signed. this way the only thing missing are the files.

An easier way to do this, which is what I have been doing, is to simply use a File Manager with Read/Write (Root) privileges and copy the libswypecore.so file into your system/lib directory and then install the Swype.apk like a normal app. This way you can do everything without needing to reboot.
I installed by giving them my email getting the apk and installing...you could almost calk it average lol

can someone provide me a copy of swype.apk and libswypecore.so? Thanks.
Comment removed.
Didn't know it was against the rules to post the .apk.
My bad!
@aussiehairspray
If I'm not mistaken, I don't think this is allowed to be posted... Swype's rules.
I'm no admin but I just don't want to see you get in trouble.

You are not mistaken. Posting the swype apk and lib files is not allowed and is actually illegal

I posted this so o once you add the files you can just flash this anytime you flash a new rom. this would mainly help crackfkashers. For Every one else, your methods may be easier/faster

so quick question, how would I go about uninstalling this?
Swype FCs every time it tries to load.
Mytouch 4g CM 7.02
I'm getting force closes as well using the files posted here. I followed these instructions here because after installing via the sywpe installer beta everytime I rebooted my phone it wouldn't trace anymore. To fix this I needed to disable and reenable swype. So as of right now I'm still outta luck.
To remove swype though simply go into titanium and scroll down to swype and delete it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Unfortunately swype force closes are not due to this zip and chances are it is the ROM. I would suggest trying fix permissions from recovery or ROM manager. Other than that I would not know what would be causing the force closes.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App
maybe i'm confused but i just went to swype.com and registered for beta and it works fine
is this different?
Before I ever tried the files here I used the beta installer that I registered and it seemed like everytime I rebooted it wouldn't swype anymore and the keyboard would flash like an error. I've been running cyanogenmod nightlies, currently on 61. I've tried fixing permissions before but it never corrected the issue.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I tried the Root Explorer method with the same results. No matter what I do to install Swype on any ROM other than CM7, I can't get the keyboard to "swype". I've even created a new account with swype to download it again with no luck. I'm close to using something other than CM7 as my daily ROM but I need Swype! Any more ideas?
Thanks!!
When it won't swype after reboot. Try selecting another board, type something, then go back to swype and slide. Used to work for me when I was using swype
this worked flawlessly! thanks
im running nightlies. i downloaded iced glacier for the original swpe .apk and libswpe files. just selected update zip from sdcard in clockwork.
forse closes, then i uninstalled and uses root explorer to copy both files, than i change the permissions, it worked but gave error about licencing, that this is for some other device. im using htc panache stock GB ROM.
than yesterday i realized new beta is out i re-registered and installed the latest beta which is ofcourse much better , only thing im missing is light colored theme of oribngnal swype.

I got the constant force close using the new swype 3.0 the way I fixed it was deleted it then right after I reinstalled it I rebooted in to recovery and cleared both caches and fixed permissions. I don't think rom manager fix permission is working right for this version.

FolioComb_3.0.1_v0.3a TIPS, PATCHES, BUGS and TRICKS

First of all, I want to thanks Dexter for his work. I made this threade for some help for FolioComb bugs reporting and patches updates.
This rom is awsome!
HONEYCOMB_3.0.1_v0.3a
BUGS and SOLUTIONS:
1. Lots of apps crashes(to fix enter in fastboot "fastboot-w" pr move apps from sd to tablet)
2. Android Market and YouTube apps don't work very well. Market don't have paid and all free apps even after enabling with Market Enabler and YouTube say "video unable to play"
3. When I try to install app from sdcard, app installer shows, but can't press install button(strange bug, only solution is factory reset)
Go here and go to end of page and you'll see list of app that you can and can't unistall(this is for CyanogenMod, but it's smilar to FolioComb and it android too)
4. Camera crashes and if try with another camera app, I get black screen and camera don't activate(blue light near camera)
5. Home button don't work
6. Little laggy(install OC kernel)
7. SOD(with OC kernel)
I'll update list with bugs, solutions and patches.
that's nice of you to create such a thread!
I have all those issues that others have reported so decided to move back to FolioMod... this apps FC issue really is a nasty one, so hopefully your patch can help a lot of ppl here
You don't understand me. I don't make patch, I only put Dexter patches on one place, because it's easier to find them all on one place.

two problem with solution for FC's
Jon2555 said:
I found solution for FC's(I'm not expert and if you don't think this is true, say):
1. After downloading or restoring and installing apps and they don't work(like CPU Master or Angry Birds), install Root Explorer(If someone need it say me)
2. Open it and go to /data/app and find app that don't work and you want to work
3. Long-press and press "extract all"
4. After extracting press "Go to extracte directory"
5. Open app directory and go to lib
6. Copy all files(if there's directory(ies) go inside) and go to /system/lib and past it
7. Exit Root Explorer(reboot if you want or if app don't work), open app and enjoy!
This isn't work for all apps but it shoud(for me works)

I solve ... it's easy :
- some app is into \sdcard\ and we can reserch ( es search : com.rovio and found angry birds.apk )
- if folder is only read in top on root explorer we can change permission ( button r/o)
Any root explorer free clone
I can't move my files and I can't find any file manager that let me do su operations...How come, the android store just look like the app store ! (yeah kinda troll)
More over my birds were free on foliomod and i need to pay now there is only the beta release which is free...looks wierd !
Anyway, I'm still happy cause it is quite smooth after all except for those fc apps...
I've installed application explorer which tells me that angry birds data are in /data/data/ isn't it strange...there's nothing in it...well the gamme fc so maybe it is normal !
angry birds is installed in /mnt/asec, if i managed to move the directory where should i put it ? in /sdcard or /sdcard2 or /sdcard/sdcard-disk0 ?
what is that mess (just like my post ?
search and install applanet by internet then download root explorer. i use this way for try..
I said if need Root Explorer ask me and I'll upload apk via PM

Possible to have ICS browser on Froyo?

Hi guys,
Is it possible to have ICS browser on Froyo? I've heard alot of good things about ICS browser, hence I was wondering.
Thanks
Hold on, I'm going to see if I can get it to work on my phone even though I'm 2.3.7 (Gingerbread)....
Load it up here (I don't have the APK) and I'll give it a shot on Froyo tonight and let you now.
Doesn't work (at least on 2.3.7 Firmware), it won't even show up on the home screen. Although I didn't expect it to work, I'm kind of disappointed...
I've uploaded the .apk, and "phrozenflame" if you want to try it yourself this is what you do...
1. Download the browser.apk and put it in somewhere
2. Open the app Root Explorer (if you don't have it download it for 3.99$ from the AM)
3. Follow this directory "/System/App" then copy the "browser.apk" in this folder and back it up to somewhere on your SD card (Directory: "/sdcard").
4. Copy the newly downloaded "browser.apk" and paste it into /system/app -- you'll need to press the button on the top right that says "Mount R/W".
5. Long-press on the newly pasted apk file and select Permissions.
6. Change the permissions to User: Read - Write, Group: Read, Others: Read (See attached image for visual)
7. Click Okay
8. Click the Mount R/O button, then reboot.
By the way, if you want ICS there is an ICS ROM in development. So far it's coming together nicely (but until they fix video recording I'm not trying it). Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961
Cheers, many thanks guys!
would flash be broken if it did work?
I'm pretty sure all the improvements are under the hood and in framework

Installing stock asus keyboard app

Has anyone tried to reinstall the stock asus Keyboard app?
I know it's the "keyboard.apk".
I tried to install it via root explorer by moving it to /system/app then giving it all permissions and rebooting. But it still won't show up.
Any ideas?
The stock keyboard isn't inside Keyboard.apk; that only contains the shortcuts for the Asus dock keys. The Asus Keyboard is inside XT9IME.apk.
**Edit**
Never mind I found it on this old post. You need these files:
Needed for software keyboard:
XT9IME.apk
/system/lib/libjni_xt9input.so
/system/lib/libjni_xt9kcm.so
/system/usr/xt9
I yanked these out of the revolver rom and put them in place with root explorer.
Now I'm good to go. Thanks agentdr8.

I know this is an old post, but it's the only thread where I found someone was able to successfully install the Asus keyboard on a custom ROM. I have the files you listed, but I'm unable to copy them to the required folders. I tried with a regular file explorer as well as a root explorer. I am running CM10.1, rooted of course.

So I found another thread which included a file called asus_keyboard.zip which I simply needed to download and install from recovery mode, but after doing that when I select the Asus Keyboard I just keep getting the error message "Unfortunately Asus Keyboard has stopped". And it keeps popping up every 2 seconds until I disable it. Any ideas?
