I want to change the default keyboard of a rom, so when it is installed and booted it will show up when opening a text editor (so no configuration is needed).
So according to this I just place the keyboards .apk in system/app in the rom .zip and set its permissions (with the updater script). But I don't really thing this will change much..
correct me if I am wrong.

Ummm what do you mean?
Delete the system keyboard and put the desired one with proper permission... That should work

ok.. I will delete stock keyboard.
I was just hoping to still have both keyboard installed on the rom and just change the default one modifying any system text file. (as build.prop or any system .xml)
For example, when changing the the default system language you have to modify default.xml inside "system/customize/MNS" and you can still have the rest of the languages.
but nevermind.. thanks!

That's the infamous placebo effect.
Put this
Code:
echo "YourScript_xyz_Name was here! @`date`" >>/data/initd.log
after the first line of all of your scripts. It should read somthing like
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
... check "/data/initd.log" after a reboot, what it is telling you.

Oh. Well, if the permissions aren't meant to be executed at boot, then I'm guessing they're right just the way they are?

There are four methods, which I'm currently aware off, how you can edit your scripts in init.d:
adb pull, edit, adb push;
browse with a file manager and edit it with the internal editor;
busybox vi YourScript_xyz_Name;
some fancy scripting with shell tools like sed, awk, ...
(The order is from simple to most advanced. ... )

And then question who right setting permission for use script turbo bost?

A script's permission are set as soon as you flash them. Some are meant to launch at boot and some under specific conditions.
If the script not launch at boot, u can check on terminal that the script is not working

copy them to system/app and change the permission like the app that are already in the folder.Sorry, I don't know the exact permissions just check the permission of other apps and select the same for these and reboot your device.
The permissions should be rw-r--r--
i.e.
rw-
r--
r--

Got this back on my phone and purchased Easy Tether. Works like a charm with the P600. Easy Tether is EASY. Turned on BT on both. Fired up the app on the phone and tablet. Choose the connection and it was off and running.

REQUEST: MOD for Android Keyboard (No Enter Key)

Good day everyone!
I hope that DEV's alot some time for my request.
My request is all about the android keyboard's missing feature that enables you to switch Smiley key into "Next key" or Enter key.
I look all over the forums and I found a modded ICS android keyboard, BUT its intended for NEXUS. I also want to ask if its possible for my ace to use this modded keyboard. Thanks!

Would you mind if i ask 1 more thing? How can u make it as a SYSTEM App?? I also can't seem to find the keyboard app in my lewa rom, because I have read in some posts that you can overwrite the system app with your desired app then just change the Permission.
By the way, thanks sax0406 for giving some time.

Use root explorer to paste the apk file in /system/app folder.. Then long press the apk, go to permissions, change it to rw-r--r-- and then reboot
