Well someone asked for this and I also wanted one so here it is. A completely transparent keyboard. Im working on another one with bold white letters for anyone that cant see the black ones. And a blue non transparent one as well.
Copy to /system/app with root explorer or whatever file explorer you use. Change permissions back, reboot to cwm or xrecovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache. Reboot, Enjoy.
ADDED: Odexed version is NOT a flashable zip. Extract with 7zip. Then install same as above.
I have copy, change the permission, wipe cache and reboot but the keyboard still not transparent. Anything missed? Let me try once again.

Press THANKS if i helped
Ive tried once again. Now i can see the default input option. When i touch it, it says default input has stopped unexpectedly and keeps force closing.
If you dont already have the stock keyboard in your rom this wont work unless you take this file, extract it to your sdcard, copy it it to /system/lib folder and change permissions at the same as when you copy .apk file to /system/app folder. Then reboot to cwm, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Should work. Sorry I should have uploaded this earlier.
Hope this helps

It works, like chadw1985 said if your ROM doesn't have it previously you need copy libXT9engine.so too on /system/lib.
@chadw1985 Thanks man , you should make a CWM too for easy install.

Yeah, it works. But it is really pain in the a$$ because in google play, you cannot see any letter if you use black textinput one. And in dolphin browser you also cannot see any letter if you use the white textinput one ... . So how to overcome this??? I really like the idea to have transparent keyboard but as stated above there is a drawback of this mod.
EDIT : How to revert back to stock keyboard? Just deleting the corresponding file/s? Or can I change from setting without deleting file/s???

CWM FLash Files
I made a flashable cwm .zip file. Its a couple of posts down.
EDITED FOR THIS REASON
Chadw1985 said:
Ok I tried a go at this. This installs the files. Flash with CWM, wipe cache, dalvik cache. Reboot. I couldnt get the updater-script to change permissions. You gotta go change the permissions on the files in root explorer for now. Then reboot again. Unless someone wants to fix the updater-script to do it. Im up for suggestions on getting it to change permissions.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In updater script put this line:
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/textinput-tng.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/lib/libXT9Engine.so");
Exactly
After this line:
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
Example:
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
ui_print("Mounted /system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
ui_print("Copied /system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/textinput-tng.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/lib/libXT9Engine.so");
ui_print("Unmounting /system");
unmount("/system");
ui_print("Everything finished. Reboot and enjoy ");
This should change the keyboard, the libXT9Engine.so file and permissions. Thanks Superuser_ for the help. I need feedback as to whether this works or not. It should though. Works on mine.
I pulled the files. Fixing them now
If you dont like the completely transparent keyboard or cant see the letters. Im trying to make a semi transparent one as well. Its proving to be bit aggravating though. But I will get it done.

Hi everyone,
can anybody tell me how I can change the font of the stock SE lockscreen? I don't want to use an app for this (lockbot, etc). Just want to change the font or the images the clock uses. Help me please!
G.
The font is in the framework-res in the assets folder.
And how can I edit that? It is in the framework, extract is ok, but how can create an .apk after change font? Thanks for help anyway.
garyarts said:

By pulling the contents, modding, then pushing them back. Read the theme reference thread for tips.
Great! Thanks again!!!
And if i'm ready (change font, rename as an apk), should I paste over the original apk by RE for example? Is that all?

No need to be renaming anything. Just open the apk as you would any other zip and pull the files, after modding them just drag and drop them back into the framework.apk. Some say you can use RootExplorer to overwrite the original but I've done it twice in the past and both times the phone stuck at boot, so recommend using adb to push back to the phone and install.
That's why I asked, cuz last two times the same happened to me, device frozen in boot. May I use QtADB? It looks working easier for me.

You can use whatever, so long as you can push and install files, like MrRusch's Mod Tool
Do you use it anyway? (x10ModTool)

No, I prefer using adb directly.
qtADB should be ADB with a GUI, an user friendly version of it. Thanks.
done, but nothing changed. Is it sure those fonts to be changed? Is it possible to create a kind of a zip able to flash by x-rec?

You are running 3.2? I'll check and see if its because of that or not after work. Otherwise you may try extracting the dialer from from the .zip and push it through root explorer to system/app folder and reboot.
yes i have 3.2 but dialer is still old one from wich folder and which apk i should to extract
i have replased but still old one
under dialer you mean phone.apk write? or dialertabactivity.apk?
Sick theme! Only problem I'm having is my phone keeps force closing. I'm going to reflash in a little bit and see if that fixes it. Everything else is great. Keep up the good work!

Those images are in the DialerTabActivity.apk and you would need to extract the ProjectV_AssassinEdition.zip and push the DialerTabActivity.apk from system/app/ folder in that .zip to the system/app folder of your phone and reboot. Not sure why it didn't go unless 3.2 has a different naming system for the files. I still gotta look into that. That's why I posted it for Project-V, could be port issue requiring a full port.

You may try to do a wipe cache, dalvik and fix permissions from red recovery... The only issue I have had so far has also been an issue for all unthemed roms for me and that's no email notification sounds. But fix permissions might do it without a full wipe. let me know.

I just realized that the image you posted is the in-call dialer....You know, When you are asked to press 7 to delete voicemail or 1 for english lol
Those images are in the phone.apk, but the main dialer for dialing your calls is in the dialertabactivity.apk To get that as the main dialer would require a multi-apk rework... If I have time I might make you a zip you can use in ninja morph.
Nice work mate but can you please change the notification drop down to one that match the theme better lile rhe vibrant hd for sample but with yoir icons. Im sure it will look much better my friend.

attached is a simple zip you can download and extract.
1. Get Ninjamorph from Android Market,
2. Open it and go to New project> system> app> DialerTabActivity.apk
3. wait till its done. Then close the app (menu> exit)
4. Connect Usb and copy the files from the folders in the zip to the corresponding folders in AndroidThemes> Wokspace> on your phone
5. Disconnect USB and wait till its completed
6. Re-open ninjamorph, and choose Finish Project> DialerTabActivity APK> Yes> Yes> No(incase you wanna change it back)
7. Wait till its done then menu> exit and reboot.

my dialer is like this
i whant dialer like this but with your theme
vazovskiiii ;
The update I attached for you should have changed the number buttons background and background of the dialer itself to that of the in-call dialer you first posted a pic of.
After your last post, I realize that I have no clue what exactly it is that you want.
I'm not sure if it is the other language in the header or the layout of the buttons on the bottom row...either way...if its either of those, I may not be able to help you change that. I just took an existing dialer and themed the images not the coding.
yes yes you are wright i whant your themed dialer with second layout my english is very bad i now
i just whant the layout of second picture but with your theme
i whant change the places of buttons like in second picture in my dialer the below row is speaker call and contacts and i just whant to change like in in second picture down, call video call, message and beckward
Is there any way you can post the wallpaper you used for this theme?

I'm trying to change the icon in my status bar that is displayed when i'm playing rhapsody. i've modified the notification icons in the .apk that i found in data/app. I created a .zip using the structure /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. in the main folder where META-INF resides i have a folder called data and inside that i have the modified com.rhapsody-1.apk. my updater script is as follows:
ui_print("Applying my update";
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data";
package_extract_dir("app", "/data/app";
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data";
i zipped everytihng up, put it on the root of my sd card. I then used zipsigner2 (from the market) to sign the .zip. Rebooted to recovery, made a back up, navigated to install the .zip from the sd card, flashed and it looked like it was working but the last line of the script simply said "installation aborted". Any help or guidance on where i'm failing here would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance!

Best advice I can give you is use an existing zip.
I have a template zip if you would like a copy.
Just insert your apk into it and flash.

Whatever template zip yopu end up with, just check your ROM, some mount things differently etc. some mount ext3, some mount using busy box, some mount with certain permissions.
Another way, is to grab a mod, or theme that someone has done for your ROM you are using and then just delete out all the apps and such and use that for a base zip. Of course edit the update-script file as well.

I can upload one tonight if need be.
using something like 7Zip open a flashable zip in view. Dont extract it.
You will see at least two folders. The one you want is the Manifest folder. go through that one and find the updater-script. One will be the binary, dont edit it. the othe ris the actual script, pull it out by dragging it out and use a text editor of some type to edit it. once done, drag file right back into the 7Zip you already have open.

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to modify a custom rom by myself at the moment, I don't have any programming experience.
I read some guides and they made it quite clear to me.
Only a few questions:
I'm trying to edit Villainrom 3.0 and when changing the kernel to Speedmod the only thing I have to do is replacing the zImage?
And if I want to install apps not in /system /apps but in /data /app will that work?
I have to make the folders manually that is why I ask this.
And is it possible if I make in /system /etc an init.d folder to place some tweaks from other roms there?
And I guess it is possible to just remove anything I don't like? App's sounds etc.
And it may sound stupid but once I unzipped a rom how to make it flashable again?
Just zip it and turn signature off in Clockworkmod?
Thank you for your time!

Is that possible with init.d ?
Does anybody know about the /init.d and /data /app story?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want to place items in the init.d folder, place them in /system/etc/init.d inside the zip, this folder is symlinked with /etc/init.d.
As far as installing apps into /data/app, copying items into there would mean editing the updater-script and making it so that /data is mounted and items copied across, you will have to check the vr updater script for what needs to be added.
Code:
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
First line mounts the data partition,
Second line extracts anything inside the folder "data" into the data partition
Last line unmounts the data partition.
I *dont* think this is the same as installing apps, i would think your best bet is to just install them manually, but i am not 100% sure so ymmv.

Do you have any experience with changing kernel before flashing?
I'm thinking about just replacing the zImage with another but the vr-updaterscript says:
Code:
ui_print("Installing Ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel - By the king, Ninpo/Hacre himself! ");
assert(package_extract_file("zImage", "/tmp/zImage"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/zImage", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"),
delete("/tmp/zImage"));
Don't know if it works with Speedmod instead of ninpo.

Just replace the zimage, I've done it plenty of times. That text will show that ninpo is installing in CWM and should have no affect, but for sanity you can change that text to speedmod.

So this is what I did until now:
unzip Checkrom XILA2
removed some audio and some /system /apps
I replaced the
Code:
modem.bin
with another
Code:
modem.bin
.
I changed the zImage with another.
Changed some lines in the updaterscript. (names et cetera)
Placed some Thunderbolt! tweaks in init.d
Ctrl+A and zipped everything with winzip, .zip file normal compression.
All done with simple copy/paste.
The big question: Will this boot?

I use Notepad++ already mate
I'm just kind of afraid I completely forgot something and I won't be able to enter recovery or something.
Donwload mode should work in every situation but I'd rather not.

nah you should be fine. from the looks of it. enjoy anyway hope all goes well for you..and if you want to try themes with your new rom then change framework and systemui i think and use the kl1 version..that way you can try jkay mods and flash a theme if you want...if you really that bothered about looks....but i would wait cause maybe in a week jkay will release his magic if he is not that busy
Just a status update from my side:
I flashed it and IT BOOTS
There are only some problems, Titanium Backup does not ask for Root Permission and so won't get it.
Market crashes.
Some apps from /data crash after some time.
But even with this problems I really appreciate all your help!
Hey guys,
I'm kinda new here and I have no idea if I posted this in the right section..
Today I made the decision to root my phone 'cause I want to extend my battery life, for some reason it didn't occure in my mind to make a backup (I'm retarded I know..) and now I broke my keyboard.
I wanted to install the Swype Beta and saw on a forum you had to delete the old swype first. So I used the Terminal Emulator and deleted Swype.apk and my keyboard flipped.
Now I don't have a keyboard any more and for some reason I also can't change to the default keyboard..
I tried installing Swype Beta using copy and paste (for the inlogscreen etc.) but when I try to download the application it gives me a parse error...
I hope you guys can help me!
Thanks in advance

I didn't change my rom (so far as I know).
I followed a short tutorial on youtube how to root a Galaxy Ace, and that's all I did. So (I guess) I'm still runing TouchWiz 3.0
Go to settings->about phone->*Scroll down and see firmware version tell me that
and I will make u a flashable zip to fix it

I use android 2.3.5 !
Would you also be so kind to give me a mini tutorial how to install that zip?
Or is it just the same as rooting the phone?

Bit different...Depends on the guy who writes the fix.If he has mounted the system in the updater script but its better to mount system anyway because the updater script doesnt mount system sometimes.
Here is the zip sorry I don't have 2.3.5 only 2.3.3,2.3.4,2.3.6,2.3.7 so I tried 2.3.4 keyboard....
download
http://www.mediafire.com/?0b9ftgzqzwt4wqg
About telling u how to make it....
What the zip does
Pushes the apk into system/app
What u need to do
go into META-INF/com/google/android and open updater-script.file (Wordpad will do)
Then insert this code
Code:
ui_print("Installing");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");
show_progress(1, 15);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/system");
ui_print("Done!");
What everything means
ui_print: desplays custom text in recovery
run_program:runs something in this case it mounts something
show_progress:Shows a statbar that is out of 15 movements and starts at 1
pakage_extract_dir: extracts the folder "system" to your phones system folder in root
But
Just that code won't work remember it has to extract an apk...
the code says that it will extract the system folder so there has to be a folder named system in the root of your zip
and u want to extract the apk to system/app so in your system folder there should be and app folder with the apk in
Ok thats it
If my zip fails copy your keyboard from your rom named "AxT9IME.apk" (in system/app) to my zip in system/app (replace my apk)
If all else fails reflash your rom via odin
GOOD LUCK
Well mate if swype is gone, the samsung keypad is still there. Try this, Long press and hold in any typing window, like the space where you type message. A menu will appear asking for input method, and select samsung keypad. Or you need to flash zip as the guys are already telling you.
Just use open up Terminal on your desktop (If you use Linux) and type:
cd /home/[YOURNAME]/[WHEREVER YOUR APK IS]
adb start
adb devices
adb push [APKFILENAME] /mnt/sdcard
adb kill
exit
Then on your phone, use a file manager, and open the keyboard APK.
Be aware that everything has to be case sensitive.
