There are some interesting settings that you can use in this application. Many of which are hidden, it worked on the origianl Kindle Fire, and I tryed to just use it to get keyboards fixed, and then I was messing with it. Just install apk, doesnt need to be in system/app
Not really sure if its any use besides a couple hidden settings. I ended up getting into the actual ICS settings menu, its interesting to mess around with this.

Lets you add keyboards
I was able to change keyboards with this app.
1.Download nookcolor tools (I found it in the xda forum, not in the market)
2.Download whatever keyboard you want
3. Open up root browser or whatever file explorer you have
4. Click on the apk file for the keyboard you want
5. Select the view option
6. Open the lib folder
The keyboard I downloaded (hacker keyboard) has 4 folders in lib folder
7.I selected the armeabi-v7a folder. Inside you'll find a something.so file (mine was libjni_pckeyboard.so)
8. Click on the .so file and select extract. Mine extracted it to /sdcard/extracted
9.I then copied the .so file from the /extracted folder, opened up the /system/lib folder, and pasted it
10. Move the keyboard apk file to the /system/app folder
11.Reboot the kindle fire and open up the nookcolor tools app
12. Click choose keyboard. Your downloaded keyboard should now be available as an option.
WALAA
I did this just to get a keyboard with a ctrl button. It should work with any keyboard app.
HOWEVER... in landscape mode you can only see like 95% of the keyboard. It works perfect in portrait mode though. Sorry for the long step list. All of these steps may not be necessary but this works. Keyboard will not be available until reboot. Will say updating or upgrading on startup.
Hah..12 steps!!
After every reboot , Swiftkey crashed and i must reinstall from the /system/app/ directory and must click Ok to overwrite an existed Systemapp. Then Swiftkey works perfectly. After a reboot Swiftkey crashed again.
can u help me?

It works on mine. Did u install from market? My launcher did this until I installed it from a non-market source. Try googling swiftkey apk and then follow the steps above. Also make sure you move the .so file.

I know it works on Vegan (and apparently not TnT), but what about stock? Everything works except enabling WiiController IME.
Yes, I believe I remember it working when I first got the device.
So you mention that TnT Lite doesn't support the Wiimote? That's a burn. Where did u read it? I've been trying to make it work for the past 3 days... argh
Not sure if it makes a difference, but I'm using TnT Lite 4.4.0 and I had trouble installing the WiiController IME as well.
The solution that worked for me was posted somewhere around the boards, maybe in the WiimoteController thread [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672884 ]. It was to use an app like RootExplorer to change the permission and then copy the .apk into the /system/apps folder.
*edit* To be more specific, copy the .apk from the /data/apps folder to the /system/apps folder. And remember to reboot the device for it to show up.

Maybe it's because I'm using TNT-Enhanced (instead of TNT-Lite) but WiimoteController still crashes running from the system/app folder.

changing system sounds
Devils77 said:
Can anyone here help or assist me, How to change the Galaxy S3 Touch Sound???
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This requires root!
The sounds (by default) are stored in /system/media/audio/ui/
!NOTE: This is for system/OS sounds. Notifications etc are not stored here!
Screen touch sound is "TW_Touch.ogg" and back and menu button sounds are "S_HW_Touch.ogg"
If you would like to change the sound to something else, find a mp3 or something that you would like to use then convert it to a .ogg format.
Can be done on this website: htt$p://audio.on$line-convert.$com/convert-to-ogg *Remove $ symbols from URL
Then rename your new .ogg to either "TW_Touch.ogg" or "S_HW_Touch.ogg" dependent on what sound you would like to change.
Place the .ogg file on your sd card and move it the mentioned directory and overwrite (delete) the original .ogg file (backup first).
Then remember to set the permissions of the .ogg file to "rw-r--r--" and make sure it is named correctly, it is case sensitive.
Reboot system and enjoy your new sounds :good:
I tried everything that you said and it doesn't work for me. When i try to move/overwrite the file it tells me "Cannot copy or move file". When i try to delete the orginal file first it tells me "Warning - Could not delete". I am on stock rom and rooted. When i try to change permissions to the original files it gives me error "unable to chmod /system/media/...bla bla". What to do?
Ok. I got it. Thanks for everything!! Thumbs up!

Your root has failed, download root checker to see.
If it fails you will need to re-root with CF-Root.
Very Awesome. Thanks for the help.
I am running into an issue. My phone has been verified as rooted by rootchecker. The only way I can see the root directory on the phone is with Astro File Manager. Once in the correct folder, I can see the TW_TOUCH.OGG file and have a replacement. However I can't write to the folder. I can't even rename the original. Checking the properties of the file I don't see any notations that the file or folder are write protected. I assume the entire drive is per se with the exception of the \SDCARD directory.
Is there a better tool for doing all this? I'd like to have something I can use from a PC as well.
Thanks,
Karl
Use Super Manager or Android Commander .

First you need to Root.
There are good guides around here.
I'd recommend ES File Explorer
Download it then
Open ES File Explorer
Menu > Settings > Root settings.
Check Root Explorer
Click Grant when SU popup appears.
Check Up to Root
and Check Mount File System.
Now it will copy succesfully to the system folder.
Slightly easier
No need to do renaming. Save desired oggs to your ext sd card.
Use Root Browser (ES doesnt seem to go to system no matter)
Use Root Browser. Go to your ext sd card. Long press on the desired .ogg. Copy it.
navigate to the folder l /system/media/audio/ui/ as instructed above.
Click paste. If your file is named correctly it will ask 'replace?' click yes. Do the same for the other file.
Reboot. You have to reboot. How it still plays water droplets before rebooting Idk. But reboot and you back to clicky goodness. (who thought of that water droplet. Chinese water torture.)
Edit: I attached the two files. Change from .txt to .ogg.

Hey guys,
So after a month of obnoxiously slow typing on the Stock Google Keyboard, I FINALLY figured out a way to get the ICS keyboard running! I tried before but got stuck with the following error any time I tried to use the keyboard: "Unfortunately Android Keyboard Has Stopped". BUT something I did today finally worked!
What you need:
Android SDK and Drivers Installed
ICS Keyboard Files attached to this OP (JB backup files are also posted here in case anyone needs them)
(NB: Not sure if the dictionary makes a difference, but it's in there because it worked for me with it)
Root
Busybox (you can download a busybox installer from the playstore here
Here's what I did:
A. Remove JB Keyboard
B. Add ICS Keyboard to /system/apps
C. Fix "Unfortunately Android Keyboard Has Stopped" message
ADB Directions for A & B:
0. Plug in your Prime to your PC.
1. Unzip TFP ICS Android Keyboard.zip files to your adb folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools).
2. Open a command prompt and navigate to that folder.
3. Enter the following commands to backup the Jelly Bean stock keyboard files to your ADB folder. "adb pull /system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk LatinImeGoogleJB.apk" and "adb pull /system/app/LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk LatinImeDictionaryPackJB.apk".
4. Enter the following commands to push the ICS files to your tablet. "adb push LatinImeGoogle.apk /sdcard/LatinImeGoogle.apk" "adb push LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk /sdcard/LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk".
5. Open a shell on your Prime via adb. "adb shell" "su"
6. Move the ICS keyboard files from your sdcard to the system folder. "cp /sdcard/LatinImeGoogle.apk /system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk" "cp /sdcard/LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk /system/app/LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk"
7. Change/fix permissions. "chmod 644 /system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk" "chmod 644 /system/app/LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk"
8. Reboot.
NB: If you try to use the keyboard at this point, you will get the error message I described above.
File Explorer Directions for A & B:
0. Plug in your Prime to your PC.
1. Download Root Explorer or ES File Manager or any other program that can access system files.
(I use ES File Explorer because it's free. Download it, go to settings, Root Settings, and check all the boxes, granting Root Permissions as necessary.)
2. Navigate to /system/app and copy LatinImeGoogle.apk and LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk.
3. Paste them to /sdcard and rename them LatinImeGoogleJB.apk and LatinImeDictionaryPackJB.apk. Copy these to your PC for safe keeping if you want.
4. Unzip the TFP ICS Android Keyboard.zip files to your computer and copy them to the SD Card of your Prime.
5. Copy LatinImeGoogle.apk and LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk from your /sdcard.
6. Paste them to /system/app.
7. Change/fix permissions for both to rw-r--r--.
8. Reboot.
Directions for C
NB: I tried a few things to get this working, so I can update this as necessary to remove unnecessary steps.
9. Once rebooted, go to System --> Language & Input, and ensure that you see Android Keyboard at the top of the list of Keyboards.
10. (THIS STEP MAY NOT BE NECESSARY). Navigate to the LatinImeGoogle.apk and LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk files in your sdcard and click them. A box will pop up asking you if you want to replace a system app. Hit yes for both.
11. Go to System --> Apps --> All --> Android Keyboard
12. Clear Data for Android Keyboard.
13. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for "Dictionary Provider".
14. Go to System --> Language & input --> Default and choose English (US) Android Keyboard (should be the 2nd option).
15. Open a text field (ie the body of a blank message in Gmail is what I used) and click to start typing.
16. That should do it!
To restore the JB Stock Keyboard via ADB
0. Go to System --> Apps --> All and uninstall updates to "Android Keyboard" and "Dictionary Pack".
1. Plug in your Prime to your PC.
2. Unzip the TFP JB Android Keyboard.zip files to your adb folder if you do not already have them there (C:\Program Files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools).
3. If you do have the stock files still there, rename them to LatinImeGoogle.apk and LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk.
4. Open a command prompt and navigate to that folder.
5. Enter the following commands to push the JB files to your tablet. "adb push LatinImeGoogle.apk /sdcard/LatinImeGoogle.apk" "adb push LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk /sdcard/LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk".
6. Open a shell on your Prime via adb. "adb shell" "su"
7. Move the ICS keyboard files from your sdcard to the system folder. "cp /sdcard/LatinImeGoogle.apk /system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk" "cp /sdcard/LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk /system/app/LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk"
8. Change/fix permissions. "chmod 644 /system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk" "chmod 644 /system/app/LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk"
9. Reboot.
10. Go to System --> Language & input --> Default and choose English (US) Android Keyboard (should be the 2nd option).
11. Open a text field (ie the body of a blank message in Gmail is what I used) and click to start typing.
12. That should do it!
To restore the JB Stock Keyboard via a File Explorer
0. Go to System --> Apps --> All and uninstall updates to "Android Keyboard" and "Dictionary Pack".
1. Plug in your Prime to your PC.
2. Unzip TFP JB Android Keyboard.zip files to your computer and copy them to the SD Card of your Prime.
3. If you still have your backup files, you can use them. Make sure they are on your SD Card.
4. Copy LatinImeGoogle.apk and LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk from your SD card.
5. Paste them to /system/app.
6. Change/fix permissions for both to rw-r--r--.
7. Reboot.
8. Go to System --> Language & input --> Default and choose English (US) Android Keyboard (should be the 2nd option).
9. Open a text field (ie the body of a blank message in Gmail is what I used) and click to start typing.
10. That should do it!
Hope this helps others that can't stand the unbearably slow typing on the Jelly Bean Stock Android Keyboard. Hit thanks if it worked for you! (If not, post here and I'll do my best to help figure out the issue.)
EDIT: Simpler method is to basically just sideload the apk for the ICS keyboard and install it like you would any other apk. It will reset after a reboot, but 'reinstalling' it again seems to fix it (again).
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I had flashed the 4.1 -> 4.2 keyboard package to my phone, and the keyboard wouldnt work, so I did it with the JB keyboard and now it's perfect! Kudos!
Lol no problem. Glad I could help!
I realized last week you just need to sideload the apk for ICS and all the other steps are useless. go figure...

Confirmed working on latest official update (.18). I had tried other apks but they didn't install correctly, this one does the trick.
I'm a little confused on the instructions. I can't seem to get this to work right on NRG's ROM. Is there an ICS apk that works?

Sorry I should probably just delete the whole OP. All you need is the ics apk for the keyboard from the zip above. Then just side load and install it like you would any other application. You may need to reinstall it after each boot.
Alternatively you can try to replace the apk in system/apps with the one above, set permissions and see if that works. It doesn't work in stock but is a superior method if it works on nrgs rom.

haha yeah, found it recently. You have to do steps A as above. Then Install the apk like you would any other apk from a file explorer like astro or ES or the built in file explorer. After that, open up titanium backup, find the keyboard, long press and click move to system apps.
Voila!
Only issue is that google now wants to update it every time you reboot the device or update apps. The way I got around this is to put a tibu widget on your home screen that you can click and will detach from the marketplace. Do this once after every reboot and you'll be very happy

First of all, to put it in /system/app, you're going to need to be rooted.
I use ES File Explorer, but you can use whatever you want. In any case, I'll write instructions for ES.
1. Go to ES's settings and then root settings and check "root explorer", "up to root", and "mount file system".
2. Navigate to your app wherever you saved it and long click > copy.
3. Navigate to /system/app and paste
4. Long click on the app you just pasted and go to properties
5. Click on the "change" button next to permissions
6. Set User: Read Write, Group: Read, Other: Read
7. Reboot your phone and hope for the best!
Note: The app still might not work as a system app.

paste the the facebook.apk in system/app/here and change the permission to rw-r-r
Make sure you are ROOTED.
For convenience I recommend install an app named ROOT EXPLORER.
*After installing, Download the Latest Facebook.apk extension file.

OK, here you are.
Make sure your device is ROOTED.
*Install FACEBOOK from Play store.
*Install ROOT EXPLORER from Play Store.
*Open Root Explorer
*If you are in ROOT directory, look for folder named " DATA"
*Open that and look for folder named "APP"
*Open that folder and you will find all installed app in your device (except system apps)
*There you will ring Facebook apk file too. Long press on that file and choose MOVE
*Now go back to ROOT directory and look for folder named "SYSTEM"
*Look for folder named "APP"
*Open that, and at the top you will find MOVE HERE, Click on that (Your Facebook file is now moved to SYSTEM>APP)
*Now after moving, long press on Facebook file and choose the option PERMISSIONS
*Check the necessary boxes as shown.
Done
Good luck

You are just modifying the current ROM, Not making the ROM.
If you over right with other ROM while flashing you will loose all the modified data.(like making a Facebook as an System App)
After completion I suggest take a backup of your device.
Edit: If you are getting error, then Move that Facebook file to your Memory Card. After that uninstall Facebook, make sure that FACEBOOK FILE IS NOT ANYWHERE IN YOUR DEVICE EXCEPT YOUR MEMORY CARD. If you find there exist any then Delete that.
Now you are clean, Move that FACEBOOK file from MEMORY CARD to SYSTEM>APP and move there.
After file gets moved, just click on it and choose INSTALL.
Done

Oh man, I thought you just want to modify current ROM.
Off course it is possible, if I tell you step by step it takes long,
I am going to sleep
So I provide you the link for the whole process.
BEFORE APPLYING PLEASE BACKUP YOUR CURRENT DATA.
