Hey everyone,
Is it possible to extract the soft keyboard from the stock rom on my xperia active and make it work on cyanogen ?
Browsing other threads, I found some solution for Xperia Mini Pro

Same reslut on .42 as with .58, SK17i
SOLUTION:
I coped the contents of "keylayout" and "keyprint" folders from official stable release, http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32768-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-xperia-mini-pro-v7102-24-oct-2011/
Then using Root Explorer and changed all permissions to:
rw
r
r
Then reboot and you've got a working keyboard, sym key not included.

try using that method, maybe it will work
Ofc. copy that files from your original stock ROM
thanks, I found this thread but didn't get that the layout could be the soft keyboard, will try when I get back to cyano, I just flashed a new rom
Hi, the solution I posted was for hardware keyboard only.
If you guys do work out the software keyboard too that'd be awesome, i've had a go but not quite worked out sin2img just yet cause only stock dump I have is in .ftf format I'm not sure how to get files out.

I believe this is what you're searching for...
Either install it like a normal app, or if that fail's try putting it in the /system/app/ folder.
Thanks for the file, copied to system/app and changed permissions 644, reboot. Nothing showed up, thanks though was worth a try
You need to enable it as an option i think. If the OS doesnt have the code to call the app automatically, go check language and keyboard settings.
Hi, thanks for reminder for others that don't know to do this, I should remember to explain every step I took, it never appeared in the list of keyboards to enable.
hmmm. what i did is that i use titanium back up and just google ''chinesetextinput.apk''
I am using my phone right now that's why I can't upload today
Hope this works,because it worked with mine

thank you guys, I'll try it this weekend.
Hello, did it work?
Because I don't want to buy Swiftkey, just to get Autocorrect for my hardware keyboard.

Hey guys I found a new thread of a new keyboard to our wildfire! ;D It's from Gingerbread(android 2.3), it is really nice and i decided to share to all that dont know it.
Tutorial:
Requirements
-Device must have root priveleges with Superuser
-Android 2.2 Froyo operating system
-The latest “Voice Search” application from the Android Market
-Make a backup of LatinIME.apk in system/app folder just in case!
Clock work mod and rom manager is needed but we are using wildfire and all of us use it so i wont put in requirements.
Bugs:
Vibrate on keypress doesn’t work(nice, don't eat my battery )
How to install:
Download the keyboard from here:
http://briefmobile.com/Fabolous_GBKB_Fix.zip (do not extract the files just copy the zip file how you download it)
Now connect your cellphone to computer and send the .zip file to your sdcard
Disconnect from computer, turn off phone or reboot into recovery(clock work mod) then install zip from sd card>choose zip and fla****/installIt!
Reboot phone and done! Go to messages and create a new message and you will see a new keyboard from Gingerbread(android 2.3)!
Tested and working with cyanogenmod 6.1.0 rc2.

I beg to differ, Vibrate on Keypress works 100% fine. I'm using OpenFire 2.3 ROM.
Anyways, this keyboard has some nice new settings. Me likey. Thanks a lot.
PS: Why is ROM Manager needed? I don't have it and it works fine.

I could choose ginger keyboard by holding text field as you said but when I try to write, it got closed by force and doesn't let me to write. I have wildpuzzle rom with froyo and I installed it steps by steps.
Don't worry, I will try it with the final ginger rom. Thank you all

Hi There,
I'm searching after the Original SE Kamera!
Anybody an app for this or a APK File?
I hate all the other "apps" like Vignette or 360 Ultimate.
In Vignette i have no Shuttersound and other little things (too slow)
360 is not my favour.
Please help
THX!

the camera on the 3.6 rom works perfect.
its more functionaly then the original ROM from SE!
Sorry for my bad english.
My Rom is [ROM] xCyanogenPro - Floyo - v3.6
And the Camapp in this Rom is.....mhhhh terrible
And! The Vignette App has the biggest Problem:
No Shutter sound
Settings will not be saved! Every time i restart i must change all! settings first (5MP, Superfine etc...)
All the non Original Apps have the same mistake.
I can't save the files ind the standart DCIM folder ;(
Now i search after the original Cam App because this is...smal....fast...make good pics....PERFECT

this is a system app!!!!!!!!!!!
you have to copy it first via filemanager with root in the R/W mode
in the /system/app folder before you could install it

mhhh i could install it without that...
I downloaded the file directly with my X10 and "open"...
Is that the problem, why the album and camera always make an error?
mhhh
thats not normal
your installer normal say that you couldn`t install it
try to install it like my first post
Ok i would try it...but i could realy install it
Mhhhh i open the Opera and my X10 makes a reboot....i think the rom is not realy bugfree
must i install the apk directly from the system/app folder?
I think that this app won't work with this rom without some modifications on that because this app was designed for SE framework and installing it on this rom may cause FC.
In the version 3.4, owain94 make a kind of adaptation on this app to work on that rom but it isn't working 100% good, with some random crashes.
I think this app is realy not functional...i installed it agaim with copy in the system/app folder but the same...
The album is very slow and not functional...
Mhhhh i deinstall it and search again
Sent from my X10minipro
i think so
anyone an Idea?
No ONE?
i can't make films with the standart app from CM3.6...
To use the stock camera app you will also need some files from the se framework.
Turn on usb debugging on the phone
Download adb for your pc
Attach phone
Open a cmd on pc
Goto adb folder
Type
Adb logcat > camera.log
Start camera app from se
Try a few things with it
Post camera.log here
I'll see if we can get it to work

I have Xperia U and I really like Xperia keyboard with alpha numeric T9, works great when typing in my language and for me QWERTY is too narrow on 3.5".
Thing is that I want to install CM9 and use it as only ROM. Maybe not right now but I'm planing to use CM9 and only CM9. I did find some Xperia keyboards in different topics about swype witch is not important to me.
My question is, what do I need to copy from my phone (C.1.0 ROM) to CM9 to have complete Xperia keyboard with "My words" list?
System/app/textinput-tng.apk, System/lib/libXT9Engine.so and System/usr/xt9
Copy those 2 files and folder to same locations in your phone, set appropriate permissions and it should work Best of luck Let me know how it works out !
Cheers
It seems to work fine. I lost my words but not a big deal.
Except these files you suggested, I copied few more layouts that I found in usr folder. I don't know if that changed anything but it looked like could be part of keyboard.
Thank you for your help.
Glad to be of service Cheers
Does anybody know where is the file that holds "my words"? I would like to be able to backup and edit that file because I often change ROMs.

Me too. Check the link at the end of my post, I found a port of the Sony keyboard (with T9) which works perfectly on CM9. You flash it at boot, then start phone, go to settings, select the keyboard and it will work just fine!
Xperia Keyboard on Custom Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818442
As title says - can i install new and may be better keyboard on CM9? Someone using another one?
I see there are JB keyboards, 4.1.2 Xperia Keyboards?
Someone?
You can install any keyboard you like Just install the apk or copy over the apk & needed libs to your phone (app in /system/app and libs in the corresponding directory ) and set permissions 644 to get it working
Searching here would give you access to many different ones Reply here if you are looking for one in particular

i'm running cm7.2 ultimate and previously used swype beta. however, this has expired as of today.
i'm wondering if i can extract the built in swype from the stock rom file(s).
i have a multiple files stock rom which contains swype (with the correct language included).
in which file can i find the swype.apk?
and it i succeed in extracting swype from te stock rom, will i be able to use it in my cm7.2 rom?
i read about a check that swype performs with build.prop so how can i make swype actually work on my ace with cm7.2?
(what should i edit in build.prop to succeed in the check and does it corrupt my rom when i edit my build.prop file?)
Brother install stock rom first and then create backup of swype file using root uninstaller ( i use that) and install it with correcting permissions using root explorer
Try lucky patcher on your expired beta of swype it may work
Hit thanks cos you wont die
Next time use Q&A THREAD, keep general thread clear!

I must say my question was not clear enough. I had a stock rom available and from that rom I've extracted the Stock Swype. I tried to get it to work using the instruction from Marine for another Phone. But unfortunately, It didn't work.
I'm on the ultimatum rom and extracted the swype from a 2.3.6 stock rom.
place the apk and libswypecore.so in the right folder and fixed permissions. i synced the files and rebooted the Phone as instructed but after that, Swype is available but doesn't work.
Anyone know what else I can do to fix this? Should I edit my build.prop?

What do you mean with "is available but doesn't work"??
When you switch in swipe keyboard it crashes? It force closes?

no forced closes. I can swype, but it doesn't show the words I swype. My entry field stays empty.
I've checked the apk / swype files and all the dictionary files are in there.
I read another thread here at XDA which told something about swype checking the build.prop file. So i've checked my build.prop with the build.prop in the stock rom. There were some differences (cooper instead of GT-S5830). So i've editted my build.prop, saved it and rebooted. After that, my phone wouldn't boot anymore so now i'm busy downloading the latest version of The Ultimatum rom to get my ace working again..
so editting build.prop isn't really the best option to do (unless you really confident that you know what you're doing, which I'm not).

try better keyboards like swiftkey or x touchpal ( i recommend x touchpal as u can conver that app to system and working, will not take space in internal memory as our ace is low with internal). hope i helped u
I don't think so...
Both Swiftkey and Touchpal X take up a heck lot of space, unlike what you claimed.
For example
Touchpal X : ~15MB
Stock Swype : ~3MB
And the stock Swype is better, in my opinion.
