[Q] Swype on CM7

Does anyone know how to get the stock version of swype that came on the preinstalled 2.2.1 rom onto CM7? The only reason i dont use the beta is because the theme it has is so ugly.

If you want that one. Extract the swype apk and lib file from a rom with it in it

Sorry but how do you do that
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

U can download a rom like iced glacier, and you'll need root explorer. extract the the zip. The apk is in system system/ apps. The lib is in the lib folder, although i don't know the name of it. What i do is use search when in the system folder, search swype. The two will show. Then you'll have to put those on the same folders on your system

check filecrop you want wvga version

I was able to put everything in the right folders but when I tried to use swype it had the look of the old swype but no functionality. How so you flash it in recovery like the other guy did?

U can't flash it in recovery, he worded that wrong, make sure the permissions are set right

Check the post below. It's for the G2, but works for MT4G as well (just verified).

As the post suggests, put your Swype files in the same folder as ADB and you should be fine. Note that you will have to go to Settings > Language & keyboard, and manually enable Swype since it's disabled by default.

is there any free "root manager" app out there i can get for this?
Thanks in advance!

I do believe you can use AndroidMate from the market.

ok, so apparently I don't know what I'm doing lol.
Sorry if this appears totally n00bish but thats what I am.
If I extract the .apk and the libswypecore.so from another Rom and place them into their respective folders on the Rom I'd like to use, (ex. placing swype.apk into the "app" folder on cm7) and then flash the Rom and start from scratch, shouldn't that work?
I actually tried it and it didn't. Am i missing something? I was hoping the answer was that obvious but it failed. Swype shows up but i get "swype package you installed is configured for another device" message and it continues to only function as a regular keyboard.
I'd prefer to avoid going through the CMD prompt on my computer again because without super detailed instructions, I really don't know how to go about doing it. So if anyone, anywhere can help me out it would be super appreciated. I checked the forums and I keep getting lost in the words.
(perhaps shouldn't have rooted my phone if I can't make it that far huh? but we all have to start somewhere I suppose)
Forgive me for making this so long winded but the more details i give up front the less back and forth messages that wing clog up forums.

[Q] Accidentally removed DownloadProvider.apk

Hi All,
I have a rooted european TPT and I did something really dumb today: I nuked DownloadProvider.apk, thus killing any download functionality.
I downloaded the OTA update roms and had a look in there but they only have patches for the APK and not the file itself. I have been unable to find a full ROM image to use either, one linked from here was on Megaupload so that's gone.
May I beg someone to send me this APK please or point me to where I can find an image of the original ROM? Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi
I have the same problem. Deleted the downloadprovider and I guess also the downloadprovider.UI.
I'm on 2.3.4 root. Build nr: 4.0.2.A.0.42.
What to do with the other file in the zip apart from the .apk and how to set the permissions when moving the .apk to the system/app folder?
thanks

The other file is the odex just copy it in /system/app like the apk. The files need the permission 644. You can set them i.e. with Terminal Emualtor or with adb:
Code:
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 644 /system/app/DownloadProvider.*

Unfortunately I did the same mistake like baz8080 .
Can you please help me with DownloadProvider for A310_02_0039_0089_WE?
I still have the apk and restored it to /system/app but the odex is missing and I'm still not able to download anything
Thanks in advance

Anybody?
I found DownloadProvider.apk + odex from 0076_WE
Is there any way to apply the patches from the update (0086_WE and 0089_WE) manually just on these two files?
Edit:
Solved it!

Hello all,
I'm a complete noob in Android and programing, and accidentaly deleted DownloadProvider.apk (using root unninstaller), and trying to remove another app that came installed in my Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos...
Can anybody help me with a solution that doesn't need programing and/or advanced knowledge of Android? All works fine, except I cant install any apps, from Google Play or other source...
Helpr neede really really bad...
Thanks to you all

You must have root access to your phone
1. copy and paste "Download Provider ui" folder to /system/apps of your root folder.
2. copy and paste "Download Provider" folder to /system/priv-app of your root folder.
3. give permission like other apps in the folder and install both apk inside each folder with your root explorer with root installer package i used "fx file explorer pro".
4. Done restart your mobile.
5. you need to have google play store updated and google play services updated to latest version

[Q] Stock ROM ThinkPad Tablet TPT

Hello,
does anyone knows where i find a Stock ROM Built A310_02 _0037_0076_WE or system apks located in /system/app.
After rooting and deleting some apks with Titanium backup without saving them (foul), it's not possible to install OTA2.
The update fails because /system/app/Calculator.apk was not found.
I've tried to remove the patch entries from update.zip Manifest file, but that doesn't work either. The update aborted with signature fail.
Thanks
babbamaic

My rooted 1838-25U is running A310_02_0037_0075_US. If there are any files you'd like off of my system, list them here and send me a PM with your email and I'll email them to you or upload them to dropbox for you.

Thank you for your help. Could you Post the content of your /system/app folder, that I know what is missing.

here is the file list. you won't need vortexHD.apk oem_install_flash_player.apk, dxtg-lnv......apk or any of the files from notesmobile.

here i uploaded nearly the whole dump:
System Dump

You have to click on them to see what file they actually are (I was using Chrome, and it didn't show the whole file name up front). It's pretty much everything stock.

Flashable File manager( ES Explorer)

I've never used it but why not try es file explorer? It claims to have a root explorer included.

I need flash able zip...some roms does not include any file manager.. like aokp
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

You could always download one from the market.
Or use 7-zip to open another ROM.zip, system/app and pull it out. Then use 7-zip again to unzip AOKP, put the file manager into system/app, rezip it and then flash it.
File managers are freely available. Is there a reason why you can't get one from the market. No SIM or WIFI access, maybe?

thank you
OP-thank you.
Many timse now I have flashed on the run. Some times I am on limited data or in a no coverage area. And then the times I don't want to install gapps.... yes... this is very useful.
@woodrube- thanks for the tip on the 7zip trick... I don't know why but I never thought about that. I extract stuff like that all the time... I feel stupid not thinking of that. That will be most use full next time I pan fry bacon. thank you. :highfive:

Xplore is a pretty good file manager. Its user interface us really great for copying files and stuff

The easiest way is to open a rom zip file with 7zip and simply drag your favorite file manager to to /system/app/ folder.
Or you can use this premade flashable zip file and put in your own apks to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572962

i found this quite helpful. i use wifi to connect to the market and having a file explorer from the get-go helps me enter my wifi credentials through a text file vs having to manually enter ridiculously complicated passwords by hand. not to mention my google account credentials. thanks

does this works on every phone?

Nope, just on Android phones

i was looking every where for this. hope works. ty

Hi! so, when i was rooted, i actually removed this app right there accidentally, i was debloating but i didn't even noticed it... so now i need it and can't find anywhere, can anyone post it here? Thanks in advance.

Here you go. It goes into system/app as you probably know.

Thank you, you awesome person. I am really a newbie to flashing and rooting, could you please explain what should i do with it? Do i flash the zip with twrp or extract it somewhere? I tried installing some generic livewalpaperpicker.apk found somewhere on the xda and obviously it didnt work. Also is there a way to download the zip from your google drive, because for some unknown reason my phone wants to add it as a dictionary? (If no solution i'll just download it via pc). I will be fullheartedly thankfull for instructions.

I'm not sure why it's giving you a hard time downloading the zip. Are you using the Google Drive app or Chrome from your phone?
Extract the zip and copy the folder to /system/app/ using a root file manager. I should ask though, is your system stock? What version/build number? This includes the stock .apk and .odex file.

It's a rooted, stock 6.0.1 rom, with xposed framework and a bunch of modules including N-ify, If i am correct of what a build is then my build is "24.221.5.clark_reteu.en.EU reteu".
Edit:
I tried to do everything as instructed and it didn't help. And what is curious i found out that i actually already had this folder in my system/apps. I switched it with the new one, reboot and unfortunately still when i try to set any live walpaper it says "aplication is not installed". I guess i won't be able to try pixelwalpapers anytime soon.
