Have you tried extracting it from SC 2.9.2 then pushing it to system/app? It should be labeled as LatinIME.apk.
You will need both the LatinIME.apk and the libjni_latinime.so files. As stated above you can probably pull from SC 2.9.2.
if I pull those files from the zip - how do I put them on the phone? sorry *newb here
you have to push them to the phone with adb. A package installer will not work.
can someone explain how to use adb?

Anyone know how to get Fascinate apps to install on our Vibrants?
I pulled several apks from the Fascinate system dump, but I don't know how to install them. Regular installation fails ('Application not installed')
I tried copying the apks/odex files into system/app via root explorer and got stuck in a boot loop. I then tried just copying over the apks, and no boot loop but also no installation.
Here is a link to the system dump for anyone who knows what they're doing to take a look:

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
It would help to know what apps you want from the fascinate?
Installing likely doesn't work because the samsung signature may be different in the shared.uid for the vibrant and the fascinate, and I believe you'd need to de-odex the apps before being able to just do a push/copy to the /system/app directory.
Good luck though, cheers

Thanks for the response. I primarily want the clock widgets from the fascinate. If I de-odex the apps, would I have to de-odex my rom (running stock) in order to push them into the app directory?

all apps from the galaxy s series are basically interchangeable. ie tw launcher and all samsung widgets. they just have to be deodexed versions of the apks.

great! thanks for your input. you are absolutely right.
here is a link to fascinate deodexed files for anyone else who wants the fascinate widgets on their vibrants (credit goes to 3083joe for deodexing the files):
http://www.androiddoes.net/jwilson/fascinateDI01_Deodex_CW.zip
take the apk files from the app folder (of the deodexed file above) and copy to system/app on your phone via root explorer -- change permissions to match other system apps -- reboot for good measure and that should be it.
Why is it 86Mbs? That's HUGE.
I extracted and pushed the Swype .apk and lib files from the Deodexed JK6 Stock ROM to my phone, running Macnut R12. I want a non-themed version with voice input.
I am getting a message when trying to use Swype that says "the swype package you installed is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality." Key pecking and Voice input work, but swyping a word does not.
Is there any way to make it work correctly?
It's sad that our Devs don't take the time to provide updated components for their roms... You know, like all of the other GalaxyS devs... I am looking around for an appropriate apk. The one that comes with Macnut 14 is older than the hills.
Macnut is an I9000 rom therefor you can head on over to your friendly I9000 rom devs and swipe swype from them.... I am trying to see what the latest version is...
http://rapidshare.com/files/437708255/i9000-Swype-2.15.56.14870.t100.rar
Latest Swype that I could find for any I9000 based rom (works on Macnut 14.) (Has the voice input button!)
0d3d96c9874bc4cd1bd8d21bec8927ed i9000-Swype-2.15.56.14870.t100.rar
Edit:
Use ADB/Root Explorer/Whatever to place Swype.apk into /system/app and libSwypeCore.so into /system/bin
ABD command examples:
adb push Swype.apk /system/app
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib
I have been looking for the last couple days for this...
I want to simply flash a Kernel that will allow me to load my custom "bootanimation.zip" file into system/media and it show on boot-up. The catch is, I don't care to do this by flashing a custom ROM. Don't get me wrong, I really like some of the ROM's that these guys have created, I just don't want to go crazy with them. I want to make my own mix of greatness!
I did the update over Kies Mini, but then flashed the deodexed KA7 stock ROM from the Bible (In development). So it's the stock kernel that came with the KA7 build that I'm running.
I need to know what Kernel is compatible with the KA7 ROM
OR
how do i modify the system myself to make it work with custom bootanimation.zip files??
Any help is appreciated!!!

you can use any 2.2. kernel (most, if not all, support bootanimation.zip) with any 2.2 firmware/ROM. just keep a heads up because a lot of kernels flash their own modem. So if you flash a kernel that flashes a modem besides KA7, you would have to reflash KA7 manually if you want to keep it.
I would PERSONALLY recommend Eugene's Dead Horse kernel....just read before you flash!!!

I've flashed the deodexed KB1 ROM as well as the new KB1 Kernel + Voodoo by supercurio. I have his kernel specifically because it says in the main post "Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)"
I love voodoo... but that's beside the point!
I've copied my bootanimation.zip folder (zipped using store mode, uncompressed) into the system/media folder on my phone and deleted the two samsungbootloop files in there. The damn thing still doesn't play the animation! I only have a 'part0' folder which houses all images labeled 'welcomanimation_0000' with progressing numbering. Permissions set are RWXRWXRW- as they are on most the custom ROM bootanimations I see around.
My 'desc' file has EXACTLY THIS in it:
480 800 30
p 0 0 part0
which was pulled straight from another ROM's bootanimation files!
I don't get it! What in the world am I missing??
It's irritating seeing all of these great boot animations and I can't get my own one working... anyone know what I'm screwing up?
Edit: I'm going to try flashing a custom bootanimation file and simply replacing their file with my file and see if there is something in their script in the flashing process that get's modified that I'm not doing myself through root explorer. Respond and let me know if that is a bad idea... I plan on trying it in about an hour after getting some crap done around the house.
Well... for anyone else that has had this issue...
Downloading an already packaged bootanimation file from one of these lovely moders... replacing their bootanimation.zip file in the media folder and packaging it all back up in a flashable zip folder worked like a charm! Thank you to whomever it was I took the file from... if I knew how to package a file to be flashable, I probably would have done it myself, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of learning.
Problem Solved!
I'm trying to extract the file phone.apk from stock ROM version KG6.
I understand that the apk files are inside the factoryfs.img file, but how can I open this file ?, I tried Winrar but it doesn't open...
look at this thread. This is internal ext4 image. You must repack and mount it to read something.
You can try also to find an unpacked rom dump.
Take them attached. I've extracted them (apk+odex) from KG6.

Thanks Ivan. I've looked at that thread, but from what I understand that code is for linux, no ? I only have windows...
Any clue of where can I find that unpacked rom dump ?
Just look above I've unpacked them for you
P.S. in that thread is the program and tip for windows. Just read all the posts
Of course, linux is better and faster for that
Thanks Ivan !!
Ivan, I've tried to put the phone.apk file that you've extracted for me, in the system/app directory of my phone (I haven't moved phone.odex though).
The problem is that now I get forced close...
The ROM that I'm using is Cognition 1.42, which is based on KG6 (but Cognition is deodexed).
What do you think could be the reason that the phone.apk file that you've extracted from stock KG6, doesn't work with Cognition KG6 ROM ? ?
Reason you haven't moved the odex file - is the essential part of the app. Dont forget to reboot after that. This is not deodexed file
If it doesn't work (should be) you have to look for cognition orginal deodexed phone.apk, because it may have some modifications. I have many customs on my PC, but cognition. So pity
Tell me if it doesnt work, I'll ask someone to give it to me.
Thanks again for all your help Ivan. Much appreciated.
I tried to copy both phone.apk and phone.odex to system\app, but it still doesn't work.
I don't have a problem returning to the original cognition ROM (via CWM). The thing is that I want to replace his phone.apk with the one that comes with the stock version, because I want the "ascending ringtone" back (he disabled this feature in his version of the phone.apk).
I have sent you the stock version from KG6. As I said cognition won't work with stock phone.abk due to some modifications.
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to get the stock contacts dialler and mms app onto my rooted ZTE Skate with cyanogen.
as far as my understand goes, odexed apps cannot be pushed onto the cyanogenmod rom because it is a deodexed rom.
I tried deodexing with xUltimate v2.2.
it gave me a single .apk file which i pushed onto my phone.
it transferred successfully like it always does, but it doesn't appear on my app drawer nor under the relevant folder using a file explorer.
would appreciate if someone can shed some light on my problem...
Thanks in advance,
Mubs
If you place an apk file in the system/app directory and you don't see the icon in your app drawer (even after a reboot), that means the app doesn't work. Have you tried installing the app normally?
thanks for the reply.
yes i have. i just get the message aop not installed.
I've also tried the dialler and mms app too.

Don't know if you did this but, remember that you need to rename the new app to the stock app (Example: "ABCDE web browser.apk" would be need to be renamed to "browser.apk")
Yeah i extracted the apps from the stock rom so all throughout the journey, they've been holding the stock names.
Its strange because I can delete the contacts app that comes with cm and push the same contacts.apk that is present within the cyanogenmod system/app folder.
this app will appear in app manager, and the respected folder within the root directory.
but when i try to run it, i get a process failed error in acore or something like that.
same problem also exists after a reboot.
can anybody help me with this please?

State the exact error.
Ok thats very strange.
pushing contacts.apk that comes with cm7 now seems to work.
i can uninstall and push it back to my hearts content.
I then tried pushing the contacts.apk that i extracted from the stock ZTE skate rom and deodexed with xUltimate v2
and it doesn't appear in the app drawer, antek app manager list, or even under system/app when opened using ES file explorer.
what am i doing wrong?
is this contacts.apk even compatible with CM7?
i read that stock apps can be installed if deodexed, hence the reason why i went this route in the first place.
Thanks again,
Mubs

Did you set the permissions of the app to the same as the one for CM7?
Yes,
when push didn't work.
i transfered the deodexed (and the odexed) .apk from the stock rom onto my sd card and from there onto the sytem/app folder using es file explorer.
I changed the rights so that Owner has read and write privileges, Group has read privileges, and Others have read privileges.
Still no joy I'm afraid.

Ok. Have you tried re-deodexing it (or even just the app separately)?
How would i go about doing that?
do i just run the deodexed .apk through xUltimate again? I'll try that now.

No. You'll have to use both the odex file and app file again.
aah ok.
I'll do that.
I'm fine to push the deodexed .apk to the phone like normal right?
the xUltimate guide suggests i transfer the done_app folder to the sd card and then run a script.
are we sure this app is even compatible with CM7 in the first place?
