DroidX Multi-touch keyboard for Froyo

Hey gang,
Many people have been wanting the Droid X/2 Multi-touch keyboard on ARMv6 froyo roms, so I went and fixed it for everyone.
This APK should work on *ALL* Froyo roms both ARMv6 and ARMv7, and may work on Eclair as well(I've not tested it)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
There are two files in the zip,
push libjni_latinime.so to /system/lib
push droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk to /system/app/
Please let me know if you find any bugs, and we'll see if we can sort them out.
Thanks to Invisiblek for the original APK.
If you like my work, think about donating to my coffee fund.

Kaos - when I go to launch it then it says Activity not found - com.android.inputmethod.latin
any ideas?

Did you reboot after installing it?

Thanks so much! I can finally stand texting on my phone

Sorry no.... (bag over head)

Downloaded and installed, works great!! Thanks!!

Sweet! I looked at this a few days ago and I couldn't get it working
Sent from my nonsensikal froyo

Thx kaos you da man
Launch and uninstall are my only options using astro

When I attempt to install, it gives me (2) buttons, "Uninstall" and "Launch". It thinks this app is already installed.... (it's not)
Is the "internal" package name the same as an existing (pre-installed) keyboard ? It comes up as "com.android.inputmethod.latin".

Yeah, the stock LatinIME.apk has the same internal name.
You may need to remove that before using this.

Where is the stock APK located? this can't be removed using the regular uninstall method on the phone correct? it would need to be done via adb?

They're at /system/app/LatinIME.apk or /system/app/LatinImeGoogle.apk

[Q] Overclocking GummyJar 2.5

Sorry if I'm missing something, but is there a new way to overclock this rom? I've tried the stuff in that thread posted a while ago, I don't think that method works with this rom anymore. I was wondering if there was any other new ways to do it? And also, is there a way to keep it overclocked after you reboot?

Download and installed jrummy's app from the market

You might need to get superuser first.
Open terminal emulator and type su and enter. Then run it.

EDIT: Apparently it is on the market as well.

To be honest. Ive tried some of the other ways. I find the droid overclock by Jrummy is the best thing out there period. Because it does so much for than a normal overclocker. Give it a try. Honestly its the best thing out there.

Are you talking about Jrummy's app or his script? The script is included in Fission and it's really easy to use from terminal emulator. If you have it on your phone you just run:
Code:
$su
#overclock.sh
Then just follow the script.

How to get MMS working on Cricket Froyo ROM's.

***CRICKET USERS ONLY***​
Im writing this tutorial because I had a lot of problems getting MMS working with FROYO ROM's. I know theres cricket users that cannot get MMS working so here we go:
Download the Cricket V10 zip to the root of your card found here Cricket V10 (Thanks Token)
Download any Froyo ROM to the root of your card.
Download APN Backup & Restore from the market and backup your APN's.
Make sure your 3G Internet/MMS is working before you continue to flash FROYO.
BACKUP! current 2.1 ROM and then flash Froyo Rom like you would normally do.
Then flash the Cricket V10 zip.
Boot into phone download autostart root, and APN Backup & Restore from the Market. Open up APN B&R and delete current APN's and then restore the ones you backed up earlier. Once that is done reboot your phone.
Once phone is booted up grant autostart root permission and make sure you have working internet.
Now we get to the part where we get MMS working.
Delete the mms.apk located in system/app
Drop the attached mms.apk into system/app
Delete the telephony.db file located in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
Drop the attached telephony.db in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases (Be sure to rename the telephony.db file you downloaded back to telephony.db before dropping it back into data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases)
Once this is done Reboot your phone and you should have working MMS with Froyo ROM's.
EDIT:Updated with new GB Mms.apk
Thanks goes to Token for his Cricket V10 Zip and for his help.
Thanks to Conap for the Mms.apk
Thanks to endoki for all his help/testing

Ya I was trying to figure out why the 3g kept cutting out and going to 1x but I think Cricket might be having some problems at the moment because they have changed servers a couple times tonight. Im in California yet the closest server on speedtest was in Kansas. an hour or so ago it was Maine and now its Missouri.
Anyways mms works along with everything else on GSB 2.1

I believe they are IP tables and yes you can modify them but I done know metropcs. You might wanna ask in Tokens thread for someone to give you a Metro telephony.db file.

i cant push . it stays at # when i su .. then when i try to push it says adb not found .... i was able to remove the mms apk by doing mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system rm Mms.apk

A few questions about Custom rom's.

I know this is the wrong section but I got some kind of feeling that there are more people looking in this section.
I have read some guides in the Development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537'
But I got some questions about rooting/S-off.
Why is rooting/S-off necessarily, why can't I just put the rom on my SD and go right into recovery mode and boot it up from there?
Also the program visionary plus, I hate that thing so much.... At this step:
Open Visionary and tap temproot, then attempt permroot now. Your device will reboot.
How the hell do I open it? I use Astro File manager or something to go to the file but I can't install the program on my mobile/SD card >.<
Also what do I need to do more besides Wiping my phone? In this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
It says to flash a Radio is this a must? Or is the S-off/Root enough.
Thanks already

No, the DHD has a protected system which precludes overwriting the system partition so without S-OFF you can not make any permanent changes.

Don't use it then the instructions here, achieve root without the use of visionary.

When I had the wrong Radio my battery drain was 15% an hour and this was with a sense Rom. imo S-OFF is a must.

Actually all of the roms now are running Gingerbread, and sense roms are on sense2.1 (With some sense3.0 elements).

My bad, when I was choosing which rom to load yesterday, everything i read said AR was still 2.2. Must have been old threads.

Thanks guys I now know enough

just for the record, nobody can help you based on this information. you need to quote the error message.

Haven't tried CM7 but if you haven't already flashed a rom I'd give a big thumbsup for Leedroids GB rom, very quick, stable and flashed like a dream

+1 for this. definitely give LeeDroid a go if you can. admittedly, it's the only custom one i've used to date (and for less than 24 hours at that), but i can't rate it high enough compared to the branded rom i got in the first place. amazing!

There is no error message. I just can't find a 'exe' or AKP file which will install the program on my SD/Mobile.

No, I haven't flashed a ROM yet since I heard there are some problems with ClockWorkmod of ROM Manager so I am going to wait for a few days xD

sorry to hear that. it's news to me, though. i downloaded it (CWM), and used it last night in the process of flashing the rom, no issues. but i understand the whole 'there may be issues, so i think i'll wait - don't want to brick my phone' line of thought. good luck when you get there. i'm sure you'll be fine if you follow the various guides posted on here. they worked an absolute treat for me (and i'm the definition of n00b).

So basically I'm screwed? Since I need to downgrade to root, and to backup you need to have root >.< but when you downgrade you lose everything xD
I will try it tonight ._.

If you want to back up the new GB OTA ROM then yes but if you just want to back up your apps then No, you don't need root.
Titanium works with root but doesn't need it. Also, if you ticked to let Google keep a backup then your apps will be re-downloaded when you next perform a wipe.

Using Windoze is great....
One word for you: Linux.
At the risk of high jacking this thread, have you installed HTC Sync? Can you connect to HTC Sync? If not, try another USB port (if using front port use back ports or vice-versa). If none work uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall it after rebooting PC.
If that works when you are in adb (making sure USB Debugging is on) try
Code:
adb devices
Do you get a result?

[Q] Fast and Stable ROM/Kernel

Hey guys, I'm gonna root my dads phone and probably install a custom ROM on it since he complains about some stuff on his phone that I'm sure will be fixed.
Now this ROM must be stable and have some nice additional features and be fast.
First thing that comes to mind is CM7. Since this is what the core of my ROM i use on the nexus S.
But I dunno if there are better over here. Any other suggestions?
Also whats the most stable kernel here?

did a quick look. How's Royal Sense?? THat ROM looks nice.

RoyalGinger comes to mind if you want fast. It's what I'm using. You could also try Virtuous Unity which is a 3.0 ROM.

would a 3.0 ROM be stable though??
ALso what about MIUI, my dads coming from an iphone and I think he might like the styling.

Its great and got a lot of cool features over the other roms and the battery life is the best of any rom for any phone I have ever seen

When i get to terminal emulator and i type in cd/sdcard/(whatever the root files are in)
it always says"not found"
i cant evenn get to regular folders on the phone!! Its pissing me off because i need terminal emulator.
I guess I should get root explorer to try it, ES file explorer doesnt work I dunno why.
