Wouldn't it be possible to extract the Samsung Input Method (not swype but the standard keyboard) from a firmware like JPA, and replace it on a phone running JPU by overwriting the .apk and the .odex?
If so, how do I get access to the .apk and .odex when I have the firmware on the PC? I'm stuck with .rfs files after winrar. I know I could probably put the firmware on the phone and get it through root explorer but a bit much work
And what are the .apk and .odex called for the Samsung Input Method?
I'm asking because I'm used to that keyboard but I need a T9 dictionary that is not available in my language with JPU
I asked the same question about doing the same thing, but for Swype... I did not get any answer. Swype in JPU does not have my language... I tried to just replace the apk, odex and the libSwype.o file but it did not work... I also tried with Titanium backup. I can do the backup in the stock firmware, but can't restore it in JPU (no restore button)
Which language are you looking for?

i attempted to replace most of the .apks in the system app folder with the same .apks from an ealier version of the rom (because i prefer black to blue/black). i replaced them in the .zip before i flashed it, hoping it would work.. but it didnt.. in the recovery menu it says:
....
verifying update package...
e:wrong digest:
system/app/browser.apk
e:verification failed
browser was one i replaced. how do i make this work? i dont want to use root explorer to manually replace each ****ing thing, and i have no patients for adb. i must need to sign the package or something? i never unpacked anything, just replaced some contents.. thought id be fine..
on a related note there may be more issues to come. unzipped the framework-res.apk to my computer, renamed it .zip, went inside and replaced the battery icons, renamed it back to .apk and replaced the modified file in the rom. who knows what chaos i might have caused there.. if you know what to expect and how to fix it please feel free to help!
if it matters at all, the rom im modifying and flashing is nonsensikal 9.5 black/blue, the system apps came from version 8.2 black, and battery icon .pngs came from 5.4 black.
Id try and resign the whole rom after you make your changes it should be just fine
you cannot simply replace the apks in the zip, then flash. after replacing, use one of the following methods:
if you use linux, use EasySign (http://android.grdlock.net/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=HTC Droid Eris/Extras) or the Android Kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246).
if using Windows:
Use AutoSign (http://androidforums.com/developer-101/8665-how-signing-roms.html).
Thanks. I'll get on the computer and give it a shot.

if you've unzipped the framework-res.apk then none of this will work anyway. You need to pull the images out of the old framework-res.apk and drag and drop them back into the new framework-res.apk without unzipping it. You shouldn't even need to rename it to zip. Just open it with a program like 7zip without unzipping and drop the png's in the correct folders. Then you can put the .apk back in the rom and resign from the links directed above.
Oh it all worked fine. I never unzipped framework, just extracted it from the Rom and renamed it, then replaced files, renamed back to apk, and replaced in original .zip. it worked great.
To achieve full 9.5 black I have to copy all of the previous versions (black) framework .pngs to the new Rom though.
I think the file is like, drawable-mpdi or something. Not landscape or non. I don't really know.. not in right frame of mind

I am on ED01 running Community ROM and LauncherPro Plus 0.8.6
The stock browser with ED01 conflicts with LPP's Bookmarks Widget and causes FC
Could somebody please post the browser from EB01? (The widget worked with EB01, perhaps newer updates work as well...I wouldn't know) I did a long search, but couldnt find anything.
If anyone knows of any other way to fix the problem please let me know.
Thanks!
There's a patch in post 2 of the ComRom thread. Flash in CWM.
Need an apk file from a specific ROM?
Download the CWM flashable ROM zip file. Extract the zip file. Look in the /system/app directory of the extracted zip. Find the apk file you want. Put that apk file on your phone. Use a file manager to install the apk.
I am trying to install stock calculator from orange froyo to CyanogenMod 7 Nightly but every time i try to install it I get:application not installed
how can i get it in the phone?
Dude you can't do it, there is no such way that you can do a normal install with a copied HTC apk from rom. As they are not intended to install like normal apk. Besides you have to copy it to system/app. And you can't do it straight. You should be rooted. Also there is a support file in the folder of original file( dnt remb its name) which is required for its working. You have to copy both of them in system/app.
Repeat the question in threads like" android app development or some thing related to apps or developments, to get a procedure based fast replay.

Cm7 i think comes with a calculator!!! Unpack zip on PC before install then in unzipped file goto system app and delete calculator then copy the apk your trying to install into same app folder then rezip all unzipped files making sure you don't include original zip package and make sure you have named it same as original too ending in (.zip) then flash as normal,should work if not then it must be the apk is at error.

Use Chrome if you on PC and mega client app if you on mobile
This is NOT flashable zip, extract them, put 2 .apk files into /system/app and .so file to /system/lib , 3 of them must be set permission into rw-r--r--
If you are on odex ROM, delete corresponding .odex file first
Better wipe dalvik/cache before you do so, to avoid any potential problem.
I don't know if we are on same firmware, but give it a try
i accidentally deleted mms.apk app and its odex file from my friends phone after rooting it (i thought it was for MMS and not SMS ), so how can i get one??
i tried lot of stock rom links, but almost all are dead....it would be great if someone can send me the apk and odex file
Phone Firmware : S5360DDKJ2 (if it matters..)
I dont have that specific firmware files but I have ones from ddmd1 to hand - I have added them to the attachment - just unzip and push to system and set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot
if you want any apps from any stock firmware you can simply extract the files from the pda file of the firmware using my method in the thread below
