Hey all!
I have recently attempted to install LordManhattan's keyboard (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143931) on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S3, but it will not show up with the theme I am using (Lucid theme). Whenever I revert back to the standard Holo theme, it shows up fine. Has anyone had a problem with this? What are some possible solutions (in noob terms) to this?

how are you installing it?
you need to use a root explorer, and put it into system/app. Then long press it, go to permissions and change to rw-r-r.

That's how I installed it. It's just not working on this theme.

I discovered that I love to much GO launcher EX, but also that it use 15 MB of precious RAM, so I would like to mod the stock ROM for replace the original touchwiz with the Gl-EX.
Is it possible without having any developer skill?
If yes, can you help me found the things that I need (guide, wiki...) ?
thanks!
The stock rom uses just about as much.

You do know that Touch Wiz does not run in the background?
By rooting your phone you are able to dispose Touch Wiz. (which makes GO Launcher your primary launcher since that will be your only one).
i am on stock S5830DXKPB and i dumped touchwhiz for launcherpro.
1. first locate the package representing launcherpro in /data/app. the package name is com.fede.launcher-1.
2. then push it to /system/app
3. change permissions to rw-r-r
4. delete touchwhiz30launcher.apk
to do the above you need root permissions to access /system and preferably use root explorer if terminal emulator is not your thing.

No, infact I thought it was so, but then why in app management I see GO launcher like a running and closable app?
BTW, wich package I need to uninstall? SamsungHOME ?
Is this enough? or I must do something like happily1986 as explained?
Hi guys...
I have a problem here. I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 through superuser one click and installed an app called ninja-morph from the market. This app can extract the files of an apk and we can replace objects such as image icons, in the folders in order to make them look as we want to. What happened now was that I changed the icons of two of my system apps successfully - Browser & Gallery. Then I thought of changing the icon of settings app, I tried 2 do so but what happened was that it didn't change and it started force closing. Then I went on to the web and searched for many solutions and so I downloaded an apk, shifted it to my phone an tried to install it but it didn't install. After many tries and changes through ninja-morph too I couldn't do anything. Now the problem is that I can't use wifi 'cause it needs settings. I can't even download any alternative 2 use wifi 'cause it needs wifi. I can't to anything related to internet or settings now. And worse, I just Factory Data Reseted to try if anything can be solved, but no... I just deleted all my apps. One way is to reload the software. But is it safe to do it with a root? Because I can't un-root it. Please Help Me Out.

Which rom are you using?
Seems your settinga apk got corrupted. Your options are:
-extract the original settings apk from the rom you're using and place it in system/app (with a root Explorer), with rw-r-r permissions.
-reflash a complete rom (custom through cwm or stock trough Odin)
Also, make a habit of backing up your original stuff before modding.

i used the stock 2.2.1, but now i have flashed and solved the problem.
Hey there guys,
today I flashed Omega Rom 33.3 on my S3, but I noticed the keyboard is different from the 4.1.1 version. I have to click on the recommended word, but on the version of 4.1.1 it have choosen automatically the words by pressing the space bar. Also there are no autocorrection preferences, so I can´t adjust it.
So my questions are: Am I blind? How I can use the samsung keyboard from Omega Rom 32.1? Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance
I also noticed this just now after flashing omega 33.3, which is JB 4.1.2. Samsung Keyboard is different, where we cannot press spacebar to auto correct the word.
Is there a way to solve this or where to get the older 4.1.1 version keyboard?
Thanks
you guys can uninstall the new keyboard and just push to the system the old one
Thanks for the prompt reply. BUt Im quite a newbie, how to uninstall keyboard? Will it just automatically push to the old one after uninstall? I have just wiped and flashed with new Omega 33.3, I thought all the old files have been deleted?

i search the whole apps directory... cant find anything related to samsung keyboards :crying:
anyone knows what is the apk name for samsung keyboard?
and how can I roll back to the old 4.1.1 keyboard?
Is called SamsungIME.apk
You will need the old apk. Get it from your backup (assuming you make backup). Just copy paste to replace it with old keyboard apk and set permission rw--r-r
Then reboot.

thanks... i got make backup using titanium backup. but where to find this samsungIME? i tried to find in titanium backup folder, but can't see any there.
I tried the keyboard from Omega Rom 32.1, but it doesn´t work... I will try again and report.
EDIT: The keyboard crashes... Maybe somebody can upload a working apk from 4.1.1, which works on 4.1.2. On my backup the apk is coming with an odex file.
I tried to use the "SamsungIME.apk", "T9DB" folder and "libXt9core.so" from Omega Rom 32.1 but without success.
Any ideas?
No idea how...
but i found an alternative.. Go Keyboard is fantastic !! go search at Play
[Solved]
I'm running cm 10.1 rc2. I went ahead and changed the MMS.apk because I prefer the black theme or the stock white/grey. I overwrited the current mms.apk located in system/apps/ and changed the permissions to match the other apks in this folder. After I rebooted and noticed the icon for the mms on my homescreen dock was gone. I added it back through the app drawer. I then went ahead and did the same with the contacts.apk after changing the permissions I noticed both the contacts/phone icons were gone from the dock. I rebooted as usual and replaced the missing contact icon.
Now here is the issue the phone icon isn't located in my app drawer. I went to make sure it was still installed and in the system/apps/ and it was. I didn't touch this file at all. I tried to access the dialer through my lockscreen shortcut when I highlighted it nothing happened it just unlocked my phone. I'm unsure how to get my dialer to work and the icon back.
reinstall
I think you can use Root Explorer, go system/app/ then install file Dialer.apk.

Good for you!
Please add [SOLVED] to the title of your post then.
I am new to this. I tried to root my phone and found out that my stock lg keyboard was deleted although rooting was successful. Next I tried to port LG G2's keyboard. Installed it successfully but all the emojis weren't appearing so I edited the fallback_fonts.xml
Now the keyboard keeps on crashing and the Lgkeyboard option is grayed out.
What do you guys suggest I do?
Can anyone provide me the fallback_fonts.xml from their LGOG or is there an alternate solution? I think I "might" have messed that up as before it was just fine apart from the emojis and stuff.
Please help me out. Quite worried and curious.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the awaited reply.
Yeah, Basically I own an ATT LG optimus G (E970). I rooted and found that my stock Google keyboard had vanished. Anyhow, I installed the G3 keyboard app port created by cloudy and granted superuser permissions and installed. I had enabled the LG keyboard as default. Upon installing that I found out that the stock LG keyboard too vanished. When I went to system/app folder I found out that the LGEIME.apk had a blue android icon. I think that it wasnt able to recognize the apk. In case you don't know how the blue android apk icon looks like I can post a screenshot here.
I hope I have cleared things up. in-case you want to know more I am more willing to clear things up for you.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Since you only mentioned you rooted your device I'm guessing you are still on 4.1.2?
Did you try installing the Google keyboard from the play store and see if it works.
And I saw you asked for the fall back file on your first post. I looked around and they all seem to be different. I have a custom rom on so I don't know how the stock LG one looks like. Can you copy the code inside the fallback_fonts.xml file you have on here?

Yeah I am on stock jellybean 4.1.2. I did try installing the google keyboard. I was successful in doing that. I'd like you to know the interesting thing thats happening. When I try to push the LGEIME.apk to system app the keyboard option in languages and input is greyed out and the keyboard force closes when i select i as my default. On the other hand when I removed it from system app and installed it as normal apk its working fine. Any idea why is that happening. I have uploaded the file you asked for in txt format.
Thanks for your time.

The reason when pushing the file to system app doesn't work could be the permission of the file. To do this use the app "es file explorer" from the play store. Once you push the file in system app, use us file explorer and make sure the permissions of the apk in system app are set to RW-R-R then Reboot your phone.
In ES file Explorer to set permission long press the file you want, at the bottom left click "more" to display options and select properties. A window will pop up and next to the option "permissions" click change. The setup should look like this :
Owner: ☑ ☑ [blank]
Group: ☑ [blank] [blank]
Other: ☑ [blank] [blank]
Hope this works.

Actually i forgot to write that. I did that already but it still doesnt work. I use the es file explorer and granted these set of permissions. Any other solution?
And why do you think the g3 keyboard doesn't work on phone?
Sorry for the trouble i am creating.

The keyboard should work the port is compatible with devices running at least jelly bean. We can try one more thing. Did you install "busybox" from the app store? Once installed open the app and tap install. Then install install the LG g3 keyboard again using the cloudy port apk.
Another method is flashing the zip file using your custom recovery. Here is the zip: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567716415
After flashing wipe cache and dalvic cache then reboot. Select it under language and input, hopefully it's not grayed out.

Hey.
Thanks for the reply. You know I actually did that. Installed busybox and then ran the port. the problem is when I install the port I can't see the LG keyboard in Languages and Input. when I go to system apps the LGEIME.apk has a blue android thumbnail. I mean the icon, its a blue android. I have attached the icon for you to see and what this means.
the only thing I didnt try was flashing as I did not install any custom recovery.
Thanks.

I have seen that icon before on my end as well and most of the time the apk was corrupted and I couldn't install it. I had to download the apk again.
Considering you don't have a custom rom installed, it's hard to tell why you are getting the behavior that you are experiencing on your device. I am almost out of suggestions other than if you want the keyboard to work maybe try a custom recovery and flash a custom rom.
