[Q] sony keyboard installation - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the latest Euphoria (RC2.1) on my vibrant.
Also, I would like to install the Experia keyboard. This is the only keyboard I like with a spell tip for the Arabic language. This is also important for me.
I don't know if I have the proper file, but I tried to install "textinput-tng.apk" however I keep getting "Application not installed", even after moving to /System/App and changing the permissions of the .apk
Does anyone know what the proper way to install this keyboard is?

Might sound dumb but did you reboot after changing permission? I know some changes won't occur until you reboot.

[Q] Install phone.apk

Please sorry for my English. Help ... I want to install but copy phone.apk system / app says that the application was installed and is not exiting the application factory.
I can do ... I also want to change the original lock screen, but I do not know which file I should change ...
I have original 2.1 eclair
thanks.
try this:
Install root explorer (I´m sure, you can find it here by using the search-button), then go to the folderwhere your new phone.apk is, and copy it. then go to system/app, mount it as "rw" and paste it, and then I recommend you to reboot.

Had already tried, but still keeps showing the original application, and when trying to install from system / app says "the application was not installed"...
Any ideas? with respect to lockscreen, what is the application that performs this function?
phone.apk cannot be "installed". it needs to be "pushed" into /system/app
as for lockscreen, u can either change theme or find lockscreen programs... there are a few in the market.
if u do not know how, i suggest u do a little more finding all the answers are somewhere
After moving an app to system/app, set the permission of the app to rw-r--r-- (Root Explorer)

There is already an installed application (system)
Phone.apk application is not installed because there is an application system that must be replaced, but look for it in system / app and I not find that application, if you know the name (I have the stock rom) to tell me to remove it and install the new application (I think it might not be in system / app, but I do not know where else might be).
Thank you.
In the stock rom the phone application is called SemcPhone.apk

Indeed, that is. But it does not let me install the application. says "The application has not been installed", even replacing the message application to install.
And when I call, show an error in the process android.process.acore.
If someone has done this before, please guide me.
R u crazy? Phone.apk cannot be installed/replaced under Android is running! Deleting phone.apk causes force-closes and boot-loop. Only way to change phone.apk is ADB under xrecovery.

funny~ i ALWAYS change phone.apk when android is running works fine so far. hehe. of course i use ADB tho
I´ve modified the reframe.sh by propc for semcphone.apk....just download it and extract it to the root of your sdcard (with your computer or your X8 by using a file manager)
Then install terminal Emulator (if you don´t have it already) and type
Code:
sh mnt/sdcard/SEMCphone.sh
and it should react and show you some text like "replace SEMCphone by propc (modified by codfreak).
This should also work with ADB, but I think Terminal E. is easier
You can also use it for replacing ANYTHING, just open the file on your computer with notepad and rewrite the filenames and directorys.
D' oh

Yes, I'm crazy ... But thanks to you I remembered that I could change the framework with a script, modify it and it worked SemcPhone.apk to change (replace) the phone restarts, but then as if it had apacerece signal and not making calls.
Please, if someone has changed some StockRom SemcPhone.apk 2.1 per phone.apk tell me how.
Thank you.

think the same idea (I modified de script with office suite in the phone ), but does not work the apk ... I do not know what to do, I have the phone.apk for eclair. and does not work.
Hello, I discovered that the recovery is easier to install, I used a zip signed which contained a framework and add the phone.apk renamed SemcPhone.apk. But the different versions of phone.apk I tried did not work on my stock rom. If you know of any version can be installed, if they have already done so, please comment.

(hope it not a cold and its curable-lol) I was searching the threads and came across "pushing" the phone.apk using root explorer however I oops again and think i mounted it read only. Now I am stuck in the water.
Assistance/guidance is appreciated!!

installing keyboards

I have the latest Euphoria (RC2.1) on my vibrant. I want to install the old samsung keyboard. I found the apk (axt9IME.apk) however trying to install it using a file explorer I get the "application not installed" message.
I want to use this particular keyboard as I can swipe the space key to switch languages quickly. I tend to type in both English and Arabic in the same sentence a lot.
Also, I would like to install the Experia keyboard. This is the only keyboard I like with a spell tip for the Arabic language. This is also important for me.
I don't know if I have the proper file, but I tried to install "textinput-tng.apk" and got the same problem as above.
Does anyone know what the proper way to install these keyboards is? Doc Master ICS rom has the samsung keyboard and I really miss it! However, it seems too buggy for me.
a
Also I forgot to add for the word prediction to work, is there any associated file/apk to transfer? I also have the Experia Arc and have access to all the files on it of course.
I just wanted to update that I found a flashable version of the stock Samsung keyboard with the Arabic language files. Flashing this .zip file worked.
However, that still doesn't answer the question of why didn't the .apk install, even after moving to /system/app and changing the permissions.
I need to learn this if I am to install the Sony keyboard, unless I can find a flashable version with the Arabic files (which I haven't so far)

[Q] Building ROMs (Keyboard Crashes)

So. I'm trying to build a ROM of my own, for the purposes of learning for the most part, and I have this problem that for the life of me, I can not solve.
The thing is that I'm trying to replace the default keyboard with the Jelly Bean Keyboard that you can find on the market. I have the APK file with me. The thing is though, that after placing the apk file (JBKeyboard.apk) into the system/apps folder, after flashing the ROM, the keyboard keeps crashing.
I have since then tried to check if it was a permissions issue, (644 shouldn't be a problem), and I have tried setting the ownership to 1000:1000, but it still crashes.
using the ADB Install command however on this APK seems to work perfectly fine...
My question is... What's up with that? Is there something that I'm missing?

Language Add on to OMGB (Dutch)

Hello there,
I can't post in developer thread, but this is for de OMGB nand.
The OMGB nand is the only one which actually works on my RHOD100. With de GB*** nand when my screen goes black it stays black until i reseat the battery
Anyway, there was one thing I didn't like so much on OMGB. It only has the English language in it.
I tried to use MoreLocal2, but that just makes other apps work in my language (not the system apps).
I downloaded the full apk files from another nand and did some decompile, copy (language map) and compile actions on (most) system apps.
Added this apk's in an update zip file and loaded that from Recovery. Now my phone talks the same language as me :victory:
Maybe other dutch people would like this, so I'll attache it here.
Edit: File is 14 MB so I can't attache it here... Let me know when your interested...
One sidenote: the Launcher2.apk is updated too, so you'll need to put your icons and widgets back in place, because they will all be gone after this update. Maybe you can backup and restore, but I havn't tried that.
I didn't see any other problems with it, but always backup before you try any update! :good:
Sounds like some good work. I would like to see the work you did. I am trying to get Hebrew working on the physical keyboard with TouchPal keyboard, which supports Hebrew. There is an other keyboard app, AnySoftKeyboard, which does work fully. I am using the latest NAND from a few weeks ago.

Hi there,
I don't know if my work can help you with that...
With the keyboard I didn't do anything.
What I did was:
- Decompile all system APK's from the nand rom to a folder (folder1)
- Decompile all system APK's from anaother rom (same android version) to a folder (folder2)
- Copy all language files from the APK's from folder2 to folder1 (in the right place of course).
- Recompile all (modified) system APK's from folder1.
- Create an update package to install the modified APK's.
At this point you can set Android to use the language ypu added.
I found a procedure to do this somewhere on this forum, but I didn't save it to my favorites.
So you have to find it by yourself
Thanks! Doesn't help me directly, but makes such mods sound easy enough to give a shot at.
