Whats the easyest way to restore the keyboarbs on the xoom i accidently deleted the input app in root explorer n i did a factory reset n my keyboard dont work any ideas.
Sent from my thunderbolt using XDA App
use root explorer, mount r/w.
now grab an apk for any keyboard app you want, or steal it from a system dump.
i forget what the keyboard's name is under system but once you find out type:
adb push [new keyboard location, no brackets] [file name in /system, no brackets]
and you should be in business!
if you don't find the help you need you can always download a keyboard from the market. my personal fav. is an app call "Tablet Keyboard" by: Pretty Easy. they got a paid version, but the free version is more then enought, the paid one has a few extra function keys. check it out you will like it. it has two kinds of keypads. one that splits and a full keypad.
Cornea's coming back! This thread will have a link to another thread for the new Cornea. Wow, threadception.
Cornea
Cornea is based upon my Motorola XOOM program, XOOT.
It's hard to explain...so I'll try my best.
Check out Cornea's official site at Site is down
THERE ARE TOO MANY ONE-CLICK SOLUTIONS FOR ANDROID.
Cornea has the ability to combine these into one application.
All you need is a toolkit for your Android device. (You can find these in the post below). Copy this into Cornea, and Cornea can suddenly do so much more with your device.
CAN'T FIND A TOOLKIT FOR YOUR DEVICE?
The best thing is, you can develop your own toolkits too. You can find out how to do this in Post #3
In my eyes, this is a revelation for Android hacking.
The possibilities are infinite. Make a toolkit that operates with your bootloader, or one that hacks your recovery. Or make an AllInOne toolkit that has the best of both worlds.
n00b FRIENDLY
It's easy to use for n00bs and hax0rs alike. It eases you through the first worrying steps of hacking, and you've also got a whole forum full of moderators and developers to help you out.
THE KEY TO THE LOCK OF RECOGNITION
If you've made your own toolkit, send it to me and I'll add it to the below post for public download!

What functions can be written in scripts?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
I think something like this (ONE common, extensible 'hacker' platform) is sorely needed. I see tweak threads, but each dev goes his/her own way about it.
One suggestion: Remove the adb files from the toolkit folder, so toolkits are much smaller and one doesn't have 20 copies of adb.exe.
Cornea/
cornea files
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
MySampleToolkit/
toolkit .bat files [Provide a template to setup ../adb.exe reference.]
other files (opt)
Hmm... I don't use ADB, but could the toolkits be written in "sh" style. That way Cornea could also exist as a sh script for rooted BusyBox users?
Just my $0.02.
P.S. I vote option 4: I do/don't know how, but I would rather use other peoples' toolkits.

From inferring and a 30 second review of the code...
A) On the PC, toolkits are "DOS" batch files. For functions (in the program flow sense), you can do whatever you want with all the quirks of batch files.
B) To change something on your phone, you are using ADB. Read the documentation to learn more. (Personally, I've never used ADB.)
I'm glad to hear that people like the idea of Cornea. I'm a n00b too.
Implementing ADB into Cornea would be a good idea. I was contemplating that but it'd be pretty difficult to do that, particularly if people are browsing through folders during runtime and the like. I had found a way to do it, which was to do it via calling the *.bat instead, but when I got up, my inbox already had a few toolkits in there, and I really couldn't be bothered!
One way I could do this is make an installer for Cornea that copies ADB-required files to C:\Windows\system32 and then update Cornea...tell me what you think!
Also you can execute BusyBox SH files...if I'm right, you could adb push it to a working directory, then do adb shell sh, and then when done you could use adb shell rm to remove the file?

Oh, sorry! I completely forgot your last question! Erm...no, I can't write it as an sh file because I'm uneducated on the subject. Maybe someone could help who could?
I'm keeping my eyes on this because I think it's a good idea and sorely needed. Before I try to get this in the portal can you add a list of tweaks included in the kits you have already released? Also, any new kits expected soon?

1) I will do so, yeah.
2) No kits from ME expected soon, because I only own a Galaxy Ace and a XOOM, both of which have a kit from me.
Provided you still have those retired devices, you could make quite a few kits - it's pretty simple and easy to do. Even if you don't, it'd be interesting to see some Nook hacks.

Yeah I was gonna try to make a bloat removal script for the E3D but I'm not too versed in the workings of my Nook so I don't have any decent idea there. Actually, on second thought, I can probably whip up one that fixes the market, netflix and the screen density but that's aboot it. I'll get started on it later tonight.
Anybody got a mirror up?

Does anyone get a compatibility error message when trying to start Cornea.exe?
Using Win7 32bit. Should I be starting it from a command prompt? I read the README but it didn't specify anything besides moving & renaming the files directory to the root and appending the environment variables path.
I have a feeling this post is going to be REALLY embarrassing for me.

None. In fact, if anything, it's probably my fault. You see, I use a BAT-EXE converter to finish off my batches, and I must have accidentally chosen 64bit compiling instead of 32. (Sorry, I'll fix it when I've got time!)
In the meanwhile, you can use the Cornea batch sourcecode, which is included with the Cornea download. It's in the same folder as Cornea.exe, but it's called Cornea.sc.bat (or it's in the /sc folder, depends which version you've got). It's exactly the same thing, and there's not much (if any) difference other than the missing metadata/icon.
Have fun using Cornea!

Take a look at my stuff in my signature......I started making toolkits for different devices some time ago. If you look at my source you can get some new ideas and features
this is an easy pease guide to install Ubuntu with working Busybox on your samsung galaxy Tab 10.1
Requirements:
A rooted device (there are lots op threads on xda on how to root your 10.1)
after rooting download Ubuntu installer Free
the second app you need to download is busybox installer
and third you will need to download and install android-vnc you will need this to view the ubuntu after instalation
and then last but not least you can download a overclocking kernel to make things work smoother. there is a thread in xda about this.
and then download the setcpu.apk file. search it on google.
If you have any trouble finding the correct apps and kernels please post in your reply and I will give you the links to the kernels I am using uploaded by myself for you to download
Okay so lets get this party started
okay so after rooting your device install the Ubuntu Installer Free and follow the promts. it is an easy to use app which guides you to 3 downloads. the first download is the ubuntu.sh file. and then there are two links to download the ubuntu image. If you want a light (not good looking) version of ubuntu download the smaller image (the second option of the downloads).
If you want the gnome (sexy looking ubuntu) download the third option.
while you are downloading the files GO AHEAD and install the BusyBox installer app. then choose the 1.18.4 version and install it into you system/bin directory. it will give you the directory in a list to choose. once thats done install the same version again but in the system/xbin directory.
while you wait for ubuntu installer to download the images for you go ahead and search for that nifty overclock kernel. make sure IT IS NOT the one from zedomax because then you will have no screen rotate ability. look for an overclock kernel that has ov_oa in its description. once again post in this thread if you are having troubles and i will upload my kernel.
So after ubuntu installer has downloaded files go ahead and extract them into the /sdcard/ubuntu folder (you will have to create the folder)
after you have extracted the files into /sdcard/ubuntu folder (this directory is in the root of your tab. you do not have to create a folder in the root saying /sdcard/ubuntu. you can just make a folder named Ubuntu and drop the files in there.
so after plainc the files into the Ubuntu folder go to you terminal on your device. if you dont have a terminal you can download it from the market for free. its called android terminal.
in the terminal tipe the following
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
if you have correct busybox installed you will get a prompt that asks you for the screen size. make the screen size 1280x800
then IF it gives you a choise between lightlinux or Gnome. select option 2. gnome
after that done open android vnc and set the following
name: ubi
password: ubuntu
adress: localhost
port: 5900
and then select connect.
and congratulations. everything was perfect. if not. pm me or reply in this thread for support.
Have you test it on Galaxy Tab 8.9
Hi. it will work on the galaxy Tab 8.9. just follow the same steps and make sure your device is rooted. as for the overclocking on the 8.9 I am not sure what the steps are
Was just wondering how much space does an installation like that take up? And will an Ubuntu install like that actually support everything that "normal" Ubuntu does (for instance compiling python, c, etc. on the device?). What about programs that work with Ubuntu on a PC, will they work on the Tab as well?
it takes up to 4gig of your storage. the ubuntu for the tab is ubuntu 10 Gnome. so everything works as normal ubuntu 10 would work. python and all those compiling programs will work. if you connect a mouse and keyboard to you tab it would work the same way as it would on a pc.

Nice, will give it a try to see if I can get some of my pygame projects to work (just for the kicks of it) .
I'm guessing you can't use the virtual keyboard with it though right? You need a hardware one? Or maybe, you could download a virtual keyboard for Ubuntu and see if that works ... hmm ... testing time! ^_^
PS: Do you know which desktop environment is used in the light version? Since I have the 16GB tab and I'd mostly use linux through the command prompt to program some basic stuff etc. I wouldn't really need a good desktop interface, just enough to run some graphic stuff when needed. Plus a lightweight DE would run faster
there is an awesome virtual keyboard you can download its called florence. it look ssexy and works good for me.but i stil prefer the manual keyboard.
Check out this pic. It gives an on screen keyboard
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA
Does the touchscreen work alright? I remember the native port had troubles with it.
Okay, after a bit of testing I thought I'd share my findings.
The installation was really simple, even though I had problems at first due to a wrong Busybox version - but I downgraded to 1.18.4 and it worked just fine.
I've tried both the "full" install and the "small" one. Both installed without problems, but the "full" one noticeably slower, even when running LXDE desktop environment. Guess that's one of the prices you have to pay for a system with way more applications. Apart from being kinda slow, mostly everything worked fine, the only problem I found was that if you wanted to change the background color of the terminal (the transparent thing wasn't doing it for me) it crashed. Otherwise I've tried out firefox, thunderbird etc. and it all worked fine.
On the "small" install, things seemed faster, CPU/memory was definitely stressed much less then in the full version. But, I ran into a quite big problem - terminals inside the GUI don't work at all. Everytime I run the lxterminal (tried installing some other terminals too, same problem) it starts up, but doesn't do anything. It doesn't even show the usual prompt (for instance "[email protected]>" or something like that). That means you can't run any terminal commands or apps (like top) through the GUI. You CAN however, run apt-get install through the terminal emulator you used to start the whole thing up.
So I worked around the problem by installing stuff from the terminal emulator, then trying it out in the GUI. It works, but it's definitely a real setback, since you can't even do simple stuff like "python test.py" etc. (well, you can through the terminal emulator in android, but then you're limited to text stuff, can't start up tkinter or pygame for instance).
I've managed to run a simple game made in pygame, and it actually had around 20 fps, but since you're looking at it through android-vnc, there's no way for stuff like that to be playable. Felt nice to see your python work on android, especially if you're not on good terms with Java .
I'd also recommend setting the resolution to something smaller, since you have to take the status bar into account - if you don't do that, you'll have to "scroll" up and down to see the whole screen - I've settled on 1280x720, seems to work fine for me.
Another problem I've noticed is that the Esc, F1, F2, ..., F12 keys didn't work inside linux (I'm using an Apple Wireless keyboard). Also, I couldn't play any music files (wanted to see if voice was working).
I'll definitely play around with this a bit more, and I can see myself using this (probably directly through the android terminal emulator, since it detects all my keyboard keys and has auto-completion etc.) for some non graphical programming in Python and C on the move, even without a hardware keyboard it's manageable.
What about anyone else? Did you try it out and what did you think? Anyone has any solutions to my terminal and special keys problem?
PS: Touchscreen doesn't have any problems, you have a few different input modes that you can play around, I haven't found one that would suit me perfectly though (the one I like best can't right click it seems). Ah well, nothing's perfect
Wow man, thanks for your feedback and support! there is a keyboard you can download inside software centre that gives you all the cool keys you would need. but seeing that you cannot use the lxterminal it pretty useless. ill see what I can find out about that but in the meantime thanks a lot for the feedback

I don't have the tablet (yet-hopefully gonna get one soon) but I'd suggest trying e17 (enlightenment) as your desktop environment. It is lightweight (at least compared to GNOME and KDE), IMO it looks nicer than other lightweight DE's (though the default mouse navigation style is not typical) and it has a touchscreen option/version/interface (don't exactly know what to call it). I have never tried the touchscreen version, but I have seen some screenshots and when I tried it out on a regular computer it asked if I want the touchscreen UI or the normal one. AFAIK it has its own onscreen keyboard (haven't tried it). I'm pretty sure gnome has one as well (somewhere in accessibility)

Badger, thanks for the mention of downgrading to 1.18.4. Thanks sent to you and the OP
I got it to run fine on my E4GT phone using 1.19.4 but it did not want to work on the Tab. I found that the following apps worked best on my Tab:
1. BusyBox (by Stephen Stericson) - just run this and even if you have 1.19.4 just use the drop down to select 1.18.4 and it will copy over it for you.
(Do not use the uninstall option as it is not needed and can cause problems)
2. Android Terminal Emulator (by Jack Palevich)
3. android-vnc-viewer (by androidVNC team + antlersoft)
Other apps may work but I have found the combination of these 3 to get ubuntu running on my Tab10 just fine.
btw Badger... I am with you 100% on not being on good terms with java
Graphics problem
I've installed this on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. I seem to have it operating OK but the graphics seem to not be working. The icons on the left are a black and white blur. I have changed the colour format to all of the different settings and no luck - any ideas? Thanks.
Permission Denied
When trying to bootubuntu I keep getting permission denied. I was skipping the su step, as I was following someone elses instructions, and I am now getting farther, but still permission denied at bootunbuntu. I haven't tried a linux flavor since red hat almost 10 years ago, and I was no guru then, so I'm sure whatever I'm missing will be rediculous...

So after ubuntu installer has downloaded files go ahead and extract them into the /sdcard/ubuntu folder (you will have to create the folder)
after you have extracted the files into /sdcard/ubuntu folder (this directory is in the root of your tab. you do not have to create a folder in the root saying /sdcard/ubuntu. you can just make a folder named Ubuntu and drop the files in there.
so after plainc the files into the Ubuntu folder go to you terminal on your device. if you dont have a terminal you can download it from the market for free. its called android terminal.
in the terminal tipe the following
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
if you have correct busybox installed you will get a prompt that asks you for the screen size. make the screen size 1280x800
then IF it gives you a choise between lightlinux or Gnome. select option 2. gnome
after that done open android vnc and set the following
name: ubi
password: ubuntu
adress: localhost
port: 5900
and then select connect.
and congratulations. everything was perfect. if not. pm me or reply in this thread for support.

I need the download files to run ubuntu on my galalaxy tab 3 10.1. thanks.
This is the link to the Droid X/Droid X2/Defy/Defy+ keyboard...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3811752/droidX2_native_keyboard.zip
I tried installing it on CM9...it's not working(it's named multi-touch keyboard)...I can't remove LatinIME.apk from system/app
even Terminal Emulator and ADB aren't working...can someone change the apk name or something(it's program name is MultiTouch Keyboard) and put it up...
whenever I try to install device says 'another version of this software with the same name and conflicting signatures is installed' and fails...
This is probably the best keyboard out there...and I really miss it.
Swype,Swiftkey and other stuff ain't just fast enough as this...
(THIS WORKS ON CM7(using term/adb to uninstall stock LatinIME.apk but not on CM9)
Although HTC 10 comes with less bloat than most other phones, it still has apps preinstalled that some of us probably will never use.
Some of those apps may even run at boot and consume RAM and CPU. For this purpose I made a small script that will remove those apps instead of doing it manually via ADB Shell.
This script is for Mac/OS X/macOS. I think it can also run on Linux but I'm not sure because I don't use Linux much.
For Windows, it can easily be ported to command line. If someone is willing to do it, PM me the script and I will add it to the repo.
Apps that the script removes:
Boost+
Google+ Sense Add-on
Instagram (placeholder app)
LinkedIn Sense Add-on
HTC Mail
Facebook (placeholder app)
Messenger (placeholder app)
News Republic
TouchPal Keyboard (SEE NOTE!)
Twitter Sense Add-on
Voice Recorder
Zoe
HTC Help
IceView Case support
HTC Speak
Transfer my stuff
Google Hangouts
Google Play Music
Basically what the script does:
Mount /system as RW
Delete above apps .apk and containing folder
Reboot after done.
DISCLAIMER: Although I don't see what could possibly go wrong by flashing this script, be sure to back up your ROM before flashing as I don't take any responsibility caused by this script. I have tested it on my HTC 10 and I didn't have any issues.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you plan to remove TouchPal keyboard, make sure that you have an alternative already installed before or you won't be able to type any text. In case you're reading this after you already screwed up, download your prefered keyboards .apk file and install it via ADB. The script will stop before removing the keyboard and ask if you are sure you want to remove it.
How to:
Enable USB debugging
Connect your phone
Execute "adb shell" and then "su" and grant superuser access to adb shell
(OS X) make script executable (chmod a+x)
Run script
I am open for suggestions and merge requests, happy debloating
The script can be found HERE.
Hoping someone works on the windows version cause i suppose totally run this.

All this can be manually removed simply by hitting uninstall with root access right? Not knocking the script, just asking honestly.

Just double checking, but I take it that root is required?

Ive tried some apps for removal of system apps but it didn't work. And since I play around with ROMs reinstalling and uninstalling app by app takes just to much time.

Yes, you need root because you need to remove apps from the read-only /system partition.
Got it. Thanks for the reply. I haven't had an htc phone since gingerbread and I mostly had Samsungs on Verizon so I never bothered rooting. I didn't get my 10 yet but I hope to root right away and get rid of things I think are bloat. Probably gonna need this script I guess we'll see. Thanks again!

if you like i can take a crack at it, simple batch script should work almost out of the box as long as you have adb set up

will you make it for windows please?
@gillim74 @razrlover @dj_chapz
I have made a working copy for windows and added it to a fork of the gitlab repo here: https://github.com/ibrokemypie/htc_10_pme_debloat/blob/master/htc10_bloat_remover.cmd
I will maintain this as long as @dj_chapz does and will pull in any changes he makes.
I usually make changes after a firmware update if I notice any new bloat, but there shouldnt be much changes.
Also, this list is by personal preference, because some apps that I choose to leave others may want to remove or vice versa, so everyone should take the script as a base and edit to their likeing.

After running this (windows), and going into Settings > Apps, I get a Loading screen that never ends. Same thing in Titanium backup when it tries to build a db of the installed apps.

which update are you running? still marshmallow or have you gone to nougat? custom rom? and have you tried restarting and perhaps clearing cache/dalvik?
Device or resource busy
Read-only file system
Read-only file system
tried it but all the apps had the above thing ^
nougat,
oh it did work o.o saw the apps for a second, thank you! could i just add the sense apks into the script and remove it the same way?
Dare I ask... why not make a shell script you run from the phone? I'll give it a shot. I wrote one that creates directories so I can use FolderSync to restore settings from the cloud.
