Already done this but again same keyboard ? any other file maybe need to change

CMIIW.........but this is the Samsung keyboard supplied as part of the Samsung stock firmware?
that being the case, a keyboard extracted from a custom ROM won't work because the cusROM keyboard won't have the "framework" elements needed to work with the firmware. Your best bet is to see what playstore has to offer........
This might be my S2 or it might be my W, but it's definitely CM...

As I said, the framework is, and remains the issue......
And when someone tries to help, it might be a good idea to NOT patronise them by telling them they "don't have enough experience"!!!

I dont wanna fight now with you Ok ? u must be clever to understand questioon when i said SUB SYMBOLS .....ah he look for keyboard sub symbols to remove?? .. and the other question many time ago is something not similar.. so dont catch with that Q. cuz in this question i ask for sub symbols to remove or or what file need to be replaced ....and i found answer on the neatrom lite thread .. you must accept positive and negative comments.. bye

I've no problem with negative comments.......what I do have a problem with is rude and patronising attitudes.......so in future, think before you type...

[Q] What are the Samsung Keypad files?

Hello all
When I had Galaxy S, I found out that flashing custom ROMs not only gives you huge benefits, but also has drawbacks - one of them is loosing the additional languages that regional firmwares have.
Then I found out this great thread which showed me what files to replace, to get back all the missing languages.
Now I just got Galaxy S 2 and it has the right keyboard, and I'm rooted so I thought I'd take the keyboard files and flash them on whatever ROM I choose.
My question [AT LAST!] is:
What are the respective files, libraries, etc. that are required for this to work? Are they the same as in Galaxy S, are there more or less?
Thanks
Samsung keyboard files are AxT9IME.apk found in system/app and libXt9core.so found in system/lib.
Thanks, but it didn't work.
I found the files, but it seems that the ones in 2.3.3 are way different than those in 2.3.4 so the Samsung Keypad just disappears...
Seems I'm stuck with the buggy market options.
You can try clearing the keypads data under settings/applications/manage applications then reboot the phone.
It doesn't give force closes or anything, replacing the app just makes it disappear from the list. Tho it's still visible with Titanium as a crossed out entry.
That's odd, how did you install the new files?
First I tried to do it via CWM, but I probably messed it up, since I can't make my own scripts and just steal someone else's anyway it did nothing.
Then I tried manual replacing via Root Explorer and then the keypad disappeared.
I'll find a way to do it, the only thing I don't know - are the 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 files compatible. If not there's no point trying to do it, right?
I don't see there being any difference between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 but if you want you can just download a rom that is 2.3.4 and extract the files you need.
I think I know why there's a problem. I'm trying to replace an odexed version of the Samsung Keypad, and I copy both files. And probably there's some place else in the Android OS which does a check and causes the error.
Cause I replaced Swype sucessfuly (and it didn't have an .odex part).
Can it be that?
UPD: Yes, it's totally that, I deleted both the .apk and .odex files and placed a dedoexed version of the AxT9IME.apk in system/app and it worked again. Now I have to find a way to deodex the apk I have, and I know nothing of programming

[Help] I just installed ROM Manager...

Hey guys, I just installed ROM Manager on my Samsung Galaxy Ace and went to backup my current ROM. After I entered a name for my backup and pressed the Backup button my phone has become a brick? I cannot turn it on no matter what I do. Can anyone please help me because if I do not get this working, I will be screwed, I'm on a 2 year contract with T-Mobile.
It's bricked. You should read the first topic on this forum.
You can try uploading firmware with odin, not sure if it'll help.
Volume down + Home +Power what happens? If you see "download" you should be able to use Odin!

Yeah I stopped it after it was taking too long, I also tried the one package (the one in the picture)/full package installation (the one you're pointing out), none worked and my phone doesn't boot into download mode, I have noticed a lot of people have had this problem. I am going to have to take it to the samsung repair center near me.
This was all caused by a recovery tool... how frigging ironic.

Sorry but I think you´r the one to blame, don´t use stuff you´r not supposed to do...
U DO HAVE TO START TO READ BEFORE YOU TOUCH things, sorry, wasn´t meant to be annoying CAPS but it´s very important...
There is one more (maybe) solution to try...
Q8: Oh no! My phone is bricked! I accidentally flashed the wrong device in ROM Manager!
A8: Oh no . You might wanna try either:
Method 1:
-Remove the SIM card , SD card and battery from the phone
-Hold Volume Down + Home + Power
-(Optional) Bring it near a heat source .
-While still holding those buttons , place the battery into the phone
-It should go into Download Mode .
-Try to flash a full package file via ODIN and your phone should come back to life .
If that doesn't work , try Method 2:
-Bring the phone to a nearby service center for repair .

Sorry, Unlike the people who you are trying to catagorize me as, I do read stuff before I do it. I used the ROM Manager which was supposed to support the S5830.
And I have tried all these.

I was not attacking or categorizing you, I tried to help! But you just did not read. That's why you tried to flash with the .ops file only. I'm no expert but I guess that ruined the very important Bootloader part of the phone.
Good luck with the Samsung Service, as I read here you're chances are good to get help!

No I didn't, I had selected to install the whole package file that I got from samsungmobile or w/e it is, not the seperate ones.
Look at your Screenshot, it proofs what I said...there is no phone,modem,csc and pda file.
Once again, it wasn´t meant to attack you or your fault(s), I´m not an expert, far away from it and I bet many here have done stupid things with their phones ;-)
Just read and learn and if a Dev says "Do not this or do not that"... DON´T DO IT !

Because if phone not start in downloading mod you cant use odin

Porting ROMs from other devices?

I asked this over in Android General and I was pointed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713
Could anyone confirm if this would allow porting of a ROM like HTC Sense to the Xperia?
I posted this here as I reckon that if it is indeed possible, it could be of some use to the dev community in here. If not, mods can delete this
Our phone only has 480mb internal storage.
HTC Sense is well over 1gb just for the ROM.
Sent from R800x
that's wron
a normal sense 4.0a rom needs 420mb system partition
our is only 300mb.
so we need to decrease the zip (remove apps) and move some apps to /data in zip.
then symlink /data
and then we can go porting it
I would use a Sense 4 rom , I'm going to mess around later lol.

I know what the error is. I need to jump into Linux to unpack the kernel and edit the init.rc file (Only possible on Linux).
Going to flash back to MIUI temporarily to move the files onto my SD card to shift them onto Linux. Going to do that a bit later on as Im going to be a bit busy. If I get anything working I'll PM you and Dropbox the ROM for you to try If all comes back working, I'll release it to the general users
This will hopefully be my first ROM development
Tried again and can't get past the kernel screen.
Back to the drawing board. Gonna try a Samsung CM7 build now
Having no luck with this. Any devs with more knowledge than me feel free to take over

[Q]Android version identification

Hi everyone!
I hope someone here will have an asnwer for my question...
So , the question is, How can I know for sure, which Android version runs on my device, if I don't trust the information
provided in "build.prop" file.
Specifically, how can I be sure I have an ICS and not GB ?
Thank you in advance!

Furthermore if your running ICS for android version it should have a number ranging from 4-4.04.

Thanks, but both answers don't help in my case, as they do use the contents of "build.prop".
In my case, I don't trust "build.prop" , and hence looking for alternative ways to determine the Android version.

What's your beef with build.prop? The only other way I know is to download a ROM of your choice, unzip it, Look in META-INF>com>android> and open up the metadata file and you should be able to see it in there. But, I suppose that could be fudged as well. Is someone launching some sort of Android conspiracy against you?

LOL .
OK I'll explain myself...
I have a chinese phone, which runs Android.
Manufacturer , releases new ROMs from time to time.
Last few ROMs, were "4.0.3", as it was written in "build.prop", but after installation,
I saw there is no Right to Left support, and for me , that is a sign, that the ROM isn't really 4.0.3,
as (AFAIK) 4.0.3 supports RTL out ofthe box...
Now, I still hope they will release real 4.0.X ROM some day, but till then, I don't want
to install every ROM they release. I want to identify whether ROM is 2.3.6 or 4.0.X before I Install it,
and not based on "build.prop".
So, I hope now you have full explanation, and will be able to help.
Thanks!

Wow, that is really nice trick!
I wasn't aware of it. Thanks!
Though, the problem is to know ROM's Android version , before I install it on the device.
So it is not a solution to my problem...
Ah, and that phone has an iPhone look menus , so there is no way to perform that trick, unfortunately...

If Google Chrome is available to you on the play store, you have ICS. If its not you have GB. Furthermore you could download an ICS only app and if it says there is an error parsing the package then you have GB

I did notice your post, thank you.
But the whole point of my question/problem , to identify the Android version on ROM,
without installing it to device.
Thanks!

I can make app that will say if you are running ICS or JB or GB!
I'll send you it tomorrow!
It checks api level of the system.
If its 16=JB , 15= ICS, 11 or 12=GB

Can you please explain what should be checked ?
I mean what can I check in ROM (it is CWM installable ZIP file ) , in order to know
which Android version it has?
But again, I don't want to install it! I want to know that from inspecting the ROM itself!
Thanks!

Download the rom open it with 7zip and go to system-SW_configuration.xml
Open it with notepad++ and check the firmware.
The same thing you can do it with root explorer in your phone.
I don't believe he changed all the xml's just to make users believe is an ICS rom
To check for ICS:
Look at the file's /system/bin .
If it contains a binary called sh it's Gingerbread .
If it contains a binary called mksh then it's ICS .
