hi all, this is my first post ever in xda after a few months of silently read and do...
bricked the ace on the first month...because i was trying to be a smartass when few options to root and modding where availiable... anyways.
im no dev, and have no knowledge of programing whatsoever besides what i learn in the internet, most of it here, thank you all for that.
my question is (maybe very simple):
i know i can, in a rom like jusadas ice cream, that is, has he says, "barebone" use root explorer to put apk's in the system»app folder, but my question is, will these apk's be reconized as part of the rom (wont uninstal in the "normal way" like the factory apk's)? and if so, what kind of permissons do i need to change (if i really need to do anything)
thanks in advance and sorry if this problem has already been asked but i searched a little (i really did) but this is a bad day and i havent had the patience to search like i've been doing for the past months (reason for this be my first post)
thank u all continue the good work, many like me thank you guys
For other apps to work like a system app:
-Change permission to rw-r--r--
-Change single and group ownership to root

Back then CodeROM.NexusAce had Root Explorer built in as system app, and hasn't lost root too. Maybe it's only ES that's affected.

Perhaps so
Maybe it's the action. I use titanium backup to move.
it looks like my question brought to light a sinister and unkown phenomenon wich might leed us to assume that every ACE is a singular unit with a mind of is own
i knew there was a reason for me to love it
trying later when i flash the other rom...i'll tell ya how it went...
thanks u all again

I try to install it after uninstall from the market, it still says update required. doesnt work....
if your using it on a custom rom then the developer may have left out the necessary files fir it to update, hence the fc. i have run into this issue many times it all depends on the rom. i don't know what the files are or if you can inject them into the rom somehow. go ahead and ask the rom dev and see if he/she can help you.
Good day everyone!
I hope that DEV's alot some time for my request.
My request is all about the android keyboard's missing feature that enables you to switch Smiley key into "Next key" or Enter key.
I look all over the forums and I found a modded ICS android keyboard, BUT its intended for NEXUS. I also want to ask if its possible for my ace to use this modded keyboard. Thanks!
why don't you use swype ?? It's better and is upto your requirements also

Try digging the APK from the CyanogenMod ROMs.. It has Android AOSP Gingerbread Keyboard

Here is the keyboard, it has enter button as next line.

Thanks Bro!
Would you mind if i ask 1 more thing? How can u make it as a SYSTEM App?? I also can't seem to find the keyboard app in my lewa rom, because I have read in some posts that you can overwrite the system app with your desired app then just change the Permission.
By the way, thanks sax0406 for giving some time.

Use root explorer to paste the apk file in /system/app folder.. Then long press the apk, go to permissions, change it to rw-r--r-- and then reboot
ODEX
Thanks bro! One more thing, can I apply this to odexed roms? Or does it really matter? haha!

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.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
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?

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

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...

But the whole point of my question/problem , to identify the Android version on ROM,
without installing it to device.

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 .

This is an old thread but there wasn't any answer so I'll add the answer I found which is I was able to easily change my device id on my un-rooted Android phone using adb on Windows with the method I described over here.
There's no need to do a factory reset or add any custom software.
