hey guys,
im having a difficult time trying to install a different version of swype on the phone.
i have deleted the original apk using root explorer and tried to install the latest one (the one that has 19 languages because it supports my language also). i tryed installing it using adb but it gave me install failuire, i tried installing it from the sd card using root explorer but it asked me if i want to replace the current one an it gave me a application not installed message. the thing is i deleted the old swype apk....
how can i install this new one??
i would really apreciate any help!!
did you backup your old swype apk ? should have pulled it using ADB
i prob would have opened them both up and checked the changes in the packages, pulled your original one, opened it in winrar, not extract, added or changed the files, closed and pushed back onto your device.
however, you will need to add permissions to certain folders using root explorer to be able to do this
if you want the swype apk from a UK, international version i can pull and upload for you

thanks for that, but i managed to install it...
the thing is i tried taking out some other languages that it has inside, resign and upload to phone but it screws everything up..
you think you can make me a light version? just english and romanian, no tips no tricks no nothing ??
EDIT: sorry about that
Careful I believe posting swype files is against XDA policy
Got question about adding apps to ROM.
Sooooo, can i just sign the apk and stuff it in ROM or do i have to put it in the ROM and sign the entire thing?

I'm not an expert or guru of any kind when it comes about building ROM's but I do know from my past in programming that the latter one might be the right answer to your issue.
Try adding the apk into the zipped rom file. You just open the zip to view contents (no extract) and place the apk files where they need to be. The zip will update and can then be flashed. I've been doing this with MeanRom replacing the htc music app with the one from CleanRom which has better sound enhancer options. Of course I'm just replacing an already existing apk in the Rom. It may be different if you're adding apps that aren't already present but it's worth a shot. Make sure to make a backup of your current set up first.
Looks like those apk files should be placed in yourromname/data/app. That's what I'm seeing in mean and clean roms

If you decompile it you may need to sign it . I had issues in the past with things.

While I was trying to clear the data of the file manager, I inadvertently uninstalled the file manager.
I am rooted on Virtuous Prime. I tried to use Titanium to extract the file manager from a nandroid backup; this did not work.
I do not have a titanium backup of the file manager.
Surprisingly, I like this stock file manager.
Is there a way I can get it back? A download?
Can I use adb to push the file manager to the device after extracting it from a ROM?
I don't know if this is the right one, but we can try it. It's the only one I could find.
I also have another file called filemanager2.odex
Im thinking that's just the data in my file manager....if you need that 2nd file, let me know
Added the file...had to change odex to zip to upload....just delete zip and change it back

If you are on a stock ASUS firmware, most of your system APKs will be odexed. You need both the APK and the odex file for the app to run.
A lot of custom ROMs have deodexed files for several reasons. Some people swear that deodexed ROMs are faster, some swear the opposite. Modifying deodexed ROMs is theorectically slightly easier also as you only need to deal with one file rather than 2.
This is a rather simple, nonsensical explanation of the situation, and I'm sure other folks will chip in with more accurate definitions, however, getting back to the point, YOU WILL NEED THE ODEX FILE ALSO IF ON STOCK.
Hi everyone just picked up this phone coming from a rezound.I'm brand new to att and I've never see this icon before,it's the one to the left of the alarm clock.I've already unlocked and rooted so if I need to edit the build prop that's not a problem.any one know what this ugly icon is?

It's the NFC notification.
You can turn NFC off in settings and the notification goes away. Just turn it on when you want to use it.

I had several phones with NFC and none of them showed this ugly symbol. Must be a HTC thing. The worst is that Google Wallet is anyway deactivated by AT&T. So it is pretty useless except for exchanging data with Google beam.
Does anyone know how to remove the icon from the status bar without disabling NFC?
I found a thread about disabling it on the Galaxy Note II, but it doesn't work for the One X+.
This is what you do on the Note:
"This can be edited in the feature.xml file (located in "/system/csc/feature.xml") under the NFC the Statusbaricontype should be changed from ATT to none."
Perhaps there's a similar method for us.

The process isn't exactly similar, but the icon can indeed be replaced. The icon is found in the Nfc.apk package in /system/apps. Open Nfc.apk with the archive manager of your choice and replace the stat_sys_nfc_vzw.png file located in res/drawable-hdpi with an icon that is a bit more pleasing to the eye (I've opted for a transparent image myself). I've attached my modified Nfc.apk; it is from an AT&T HOX+ so I can only recommend using it with that variant (but who knows!).

Awesome! I appreciate your work on this!
I still have one question, however. I've opened and explored your apk and see your 1x1 transparent .png, and I also see how you edited the .apk.
My question is, how do you go about flashing it and replacing the stock app?
I'm runing a rooted HTC One X+, with the stock OS.

You can either use adb and the push command. Or you can use a file explorer, delete the original first, then copy the new one over. Finally set it's permissions to rwx-rxx-rxx.

Hmm...I'm using Root Browser Lite (I currently don't have access to a computer with the Android SDK installed). I deleted the original Nfc.apk, and it seems to have removed the app from the phone (or uninstalled it, I suppose), however the original .apk still appears in the /system/app/ directory according to both Root Browser Lite and OI File Manager. Furthermore, when I try to copy the modified Nfc.apk, I get a message saying that a file by that name already exists, so I just ask the phone to overwrite the existing file. It starts thinking about it for a minute or two, then says that the operation failed.
As it stands, I have the original file in the original location,albeit unistalled and no way to install it, as I get the "App was not installed" Message when I try to install it.
This may be a dumb question, but am I able to use the Terminal Emulator app to issue the adb command you suggested? If not, Do you have any other suggestions to get me out of this hole I've dug myself into?
Edit: I've succesfully moved the edited file to the correct location!!! I used ES File Explorer. However....I still can't install. I've done everything including changing the permsissions....it just won't install.
Thanks ahead of time!

System apps are not meant to be installed like regular apks, just reboot the phone and the changes in the new apk should take effect (when you turn NFC on no icon should appear).

I've done both of those things now, and still the NFC options don't show up in the menu. It makes the menu look rather lonely.
Just wondering if any further developments have been made regarding this issue. It makes me sad every time I think about how my phone is probably one of the only HOX+s out there that's incapable of using its NFC hardware.
I know its a pain in the ass, but you could always flash a new rom

Bleh...I think you're right. As it sits, I'll probably just live without NFC until a stable CM10 build is released for AT&T phones.

Is your One X+ an AT&T version? If it is, how did you root it? I have the phone, and I already unlocked the boot loader, but I can't find a way to root.

That's the easiest way to go about it.
I hope it helps.
P.S. I personally don't mind, but you should probably start with the search bar, otherwise you may end up getting berated by other forum users.

Here are the original apk and odex files if you want to give them a try (just to get functional NFC back for when you need it).
Edit: xda tells me the odex is an invalid file, here's a dropbox link instead https://www.dropbox.com/s/cpb87mar7eipjdd/Nfc.odex

I very much appreciate the sentiment! I, however was sure to leave a copy, untouched, of the original .apk and .odex on my sd card.
I did indeed try the copies you provided to no avail.
A reflash is looking more and more imminent...
I guess it's called "Richnote." I'm wondering if someone could export that APK and upload it somewhere so that I can try and get it running on a Galaxy S4. I found http://koolwap.in/games_app/dld.php...ba/comlgeapprichnote-30200111-v32.htm&ext=apk, but the phone just says "application not installed." I have a notes backup from an old E970 that I'd like to view, but I obviously can't with the GS4 (the format is .rnt, whatever that is), and I don't have any other LG device to view them from.
Here it is.
I extracted the app from my phone using Stock 4.1.2
Its called Rich Note
Here is the
PHP:
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/x483o5gtq3o8a8c/com.lge.app.richnote.apk"]link[/URL]
I have this one. Copy to system app and set permissions. Doesn't work with kitkat in ART mode.
https://app.box.com/s/qfxao2m9rcctp2b03eom
Thanks guys!
Unfortunately, for both of those APKs, the phone just says application not installed.
It won't install as a normal app. You need to copy it with a root explorer to system apps, set permissions and reboot.

That probably explains it. The phone currently isn't rooted.
Regarding Perfect Viewer, it's unable to find the "backup.rnt" file that Richnote made during the export, even if I tell something like ES File Explorer to open that file with Perfect Viewer.
So there's no way to install that app without rooting?
So I rooted, copied one of the two APKs that were posted here into /system/app, changed the permissions to match the other APKs that I saw, rebooted, and nothing new showed up. Do these APKs need a matching OPEX file? Both of the Richnote APKs do this.

The one I posted shows up as "notebook" in app drawer and it doesn't have an odex file. Not sure if that would keep it from working on an odexd ROM. It is a modded apk. and I am pretty sure I found in a Samsung forum.
Oh...and googling .rnt it says it is files for CNC machines, but there are some free programs to open them.

Ah... I'm really confused, then. I tried putting some random APKs in /system/app and they ended up showing up after a reboot, so I'm not sure what's happening with the APKs that you guys posted.
I might just go to a T-Mobile store to open up my Richnotes backup and email all of the text to myself.
This is where I got it from downloaded the zip and pulled app from it. Does it look like the same note app you are trying to get?

I'm not sure what it looked like before (I barely used the phone), but I don't think that that's it.
I think I skipped out on your APK (the first two that I mentioned, one was from Alex_XV6700, the second was RichNote_a003.apk from a stock AT&T ROM for the E970). I put it in /system/apps, and the app works, but it's a different app overall, unfortunately. Thanks anyway.
I think the idea of going to a store to get the notes would be the easiest.
