Im sorry if this is the wrong section for this, I figured this would be the best spot.
The reason im posting this is because a lot of people were asking how to use the EVO keyboard (with arrows) on NON-Evo sense builds. First off, as far as I have tried, the build does have to be a sense build. I have tested this on just about every sense build for the HD2.
I've attached the renamed apk that ive been using. Hopefully it will work since I sent it straight from my phone. If you use it, skip #1.
1.) Rename the HTC_IME.apk to newHTC_IME.apk
2.)Go into the folder where the newHTC_IME.apk is (if you download it from your phone then it will be in the "download" folder) and using "Root Explorer" or another root file explorer long press the apk and select copy.
3.)Go to your system>>app folder and paste the newHTC_IME.apk. Since its not the same name as the original it will not ask you if you want to over ride the original. But it will still be there if you choose you do not want the EVO keyboard later on.
4.) You WILL have to reboot for the changes to take affect, if you do not you will not have a keyboard till you do reboot.
I hope I didnt make this complicated lol, and yes i know....some of you know how to do this. I did it for the ones who did not.
Works perfectly with desire sense mdeejay build. Thanks.

the method you're doing won't work.. follow the OP's instruction on how to do it, or install droid explorer and then copy/paste the newHTC_IME.apk file to system/app folder.
BE VERY WARY ABOUT THIS!!!
I'm going to have to start from scratch as doing this has lost my keyboard, permanently.
I keep getting a "Sorry" message saying that "The application Touch Input has stopped unexpectedly" and my keyboard is unavailable.
This is after installing this new keyboard, as well as after restoring the original one. It's basically just screwed my keyboard so I'm going to have to rebuild my instance of Android from scratch.

Yes thanks a lot but I was very afraid because I had to erase and save elsewhere the old file . I could not copy the new file in root system app as it was saying that i had not enough place in the rom.

My friends, i'm not able to write the file newHTC_IME.apk into /system/app/.
I've installed "Root Explorer" and I also cannot, it tells me that there's no space to copy the file... even i use mount r/w
i'v also tried to access superuser but i dont know how it works... superuser2.3.6 app screen shows me there's no apps, log shows me there's no log, and i don't know how can i give root privilegies to "root explorer"
thnx!
SOLVED: I was able doing the same, deleting HTC_IME.pak and copying newHTC_IME.pak. Thnx!!!

Had some problems figuring out the permissions, but workt great with Root Explorer.
thanks for the app. Really enjoying the arrows
EDIT: This will also work if you are trying to update to EC05.
For those of you that are having issues with updating to EB13 because of one click root deleting the Asphalt Demo, I have found a solution. I had the same problem. When trying to update via CWM I would get an error message saying the Asphalt demo was missing from the system apps folder.
To get around this, you'll need root access the preloaded asphalt demo, and root explorer.
1) Download the asphalt demo pulled from the stock D18 rom.
http://www.fileserve.com/file/WSta8et
2) Place the file onto your sd card.
3) open root explorer, press the "Mount R/W"
4) find the asphalt file, long press and hit copy.
5) use the back key and find the system folder.
6) within the system folder, find the app folder.
7) once inside the app folder, press the paste button.
8) reboot into CWM
9) now retry updating with your update.zip via clockworkmod and enjoy froyo!
Note: Updating does remove OneClickRoot so you will need to reinstall after updating. Hope this helps everyone!
If you get errors regarding the playlogo while trying to update in cwm, reboot and remove the oneclickroot after all these steps. here is the uninstaller noobnl and firon provided: http://firon.net/xda/one.click.stock.flasher.&.root.uninstaller-di18.zip

Did you not read the OP? Come on! I mean, I can somewhat understand not searching the forums, but to post in a thread about fixing the problem you're having and you don't even read the original post? Now I'm starting to see why some of the old-timers and regulars around here are so reluctant to help people: cuz people want everything handed to them on a silver platter, without trying to figure **** out themselves.
Why don't you go back and read the OP, killer.

Anyone get the ota update after installing asphalt?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Or you could just take the commands that remove asphalt out of the the run.bat in the oneclickroot. Here's the file I used, the only change is that the two game apks that it removed are now left in place. Just unzip the file over top of the run.bat in the original one click. Hope it helps.
I never bothered to look before I rooted, but did EB13 come with Asphalt again? I figured it was replaced with the "Play HD games" one.

It doesn't sound like you used the one click root method, as you need a computer to do this. Do you remember how you rooted? What exact error are you receiving when updating the zip file?

So this method would revert all changes from the one click root and reinstall the asphalt demo to the system apps folder? If so, that's awesome!

No it wont reinstall them but if you odin to DI18 and then use the run.bat i posted instead of the one that comes with the one click root then it will not remove them.

Just realized in the my files application that i still have the gameloft folder with a folder inside named games and another inside of that named asphalt5 inside of that there are many files with the name of raw and numbers following them along with a few other files.
You may be able to push the file to the system app folder through your computer and adb, but I'm not sure how to do that. Maybe someone with more experience can help.
Unless there is another app that allows you to paste files into the system folder for free. I only know of root explorer that does this.
Even though you have the folder on your sd card, you still still need the actual apk within the system app folder. I tried downloading the demo and that won't work.
I'm running EB01 2.6 sc. Have been trying to add shut down animation but my phone won't let me modify system folder. I've flashed back to stock and used a different method for root access and tried several different file managers. Whenever I try to make a change, it tells me the folder was created successfully or the move was successful but no changes actually happen. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hmm, There is a shutdown.apk in system/app that has appeared within the last 4 versions of super clean. I bet that has something to do with your shutdown ani's not being recognized or appearing.

It worked!!! Thanks a ton.......such a weird problem...why would only that particular file manager work???
Then again........maybe it's not entirely fixed. I'm now allowed to add system folders. I wasn't before. But I don't see a "move" option anywhere, to move shutdown.ogg (or whatever I'm trying to move) I only see Copy and Cut. When I choose one of those, it says "Prepare to Copy" (or Cut), but never actually does so.
Just rename the original to shutdown.ogg.old or oldshutdown.ogg . I remember that it says preparing to copy and it actually will copy the file/folder so all you have to do is navigate to the right folder and hit the clipboard icon to paste.

I just use Root Explorer, move the .apk from system/app to a folder in my sd card I named backup.
Re-installing is as easy as dragging back to system/app and fixing permissions.
The easy fix is to just rename the email file and add .old to the orig name so you can find it again. Reboot and your set to go.

Ha. My thought process before even asking was "It can't be 'Windows' simple, can it?" Guess so. XD
Do you need to use CWM to fix permissions when reversing that?

No it's a long press then go to permissions and change it so that the first column has all 3 checked, then the next column has only the top checked and the last has nothing checked.

Root Explorer.
The stock email app is the first thing I remove from any ROM I'm about to flash. I've always preferred K-9 Mail.
Use the sdx app remover. It automatically backs it up when removing

Okay, this is the 2nd time this has happened.....my phone.apk has disappeared from my phone, EC09.
Last time I just blew everything up and started over. This time I refuse to do that. I'm using Dialer One, so at the moment, things are not urgent. But I do want my touchwiz dialer back.
I've backed up the app with Titanium Backup on a previous nandroid backup, and it will not restore the phone app on my current ROM. I've also tried using ADB and the install command, and I get a "install parse failed no certificates" error message.
Anyone have a way to solve this problem for me?
UPDATE: I found a valid backup from TiBu that worked for me and another user. Download this zip, unzip the files into your Titanium Backup folder on your SD card. Scroll through the apps/backups in TiBu until you find [Voicemail] Dialer 2.2.2, restore app+data. Should be good to go!
Download Dialer Tab Titanium Backup files
This seems to be a common thing happening on this phone. This also happened to me when i was running complete stock no root a while back and I had to do a hard reset to get it back. I don't know what the apks issue is but its happening to a lot of people and so far the only way to get it back that I know of is to do a hard reset.
I also lost dialer on EC09 awhile back, gave up trying to fix. Just have also just been using Dialer 1. Odd thing with it though is I had to dial 911 and it wouldn't let me, every time inputted numbers it would bring up my contacts and wouldn't let me dial it.

Well I guess it's mildly comforting to know I'm not alone with this problem. I know there must be a way to get the dialer back without a hard reset. I just got tired/overwhelmed of researching exactly how Android handles apk's and how ADB works.
I have the apk. I just haven't been able to get it on my phone properly.
Well, the problem has been solved.
Apparently the backup I made of the phone app through Titanium Backup was corrupt. I had an entire backup of my SD card on my hard drive and I tried restoring the phone app from that. Titanium Backup restored it fine.
I couldn't understand why TiBu would be unable to restore an app IT backed up! Apparently it wasn't unable to!
If anyone wants the three files created by the backup, I can zip them up and post them.

Phone 2.2.2 backup up with TiBu
Nevermind I see it's resolved.
Okay since this is zip I believe it just gets installed through recovery, am I right. So when I try it just hangs at installing, had to pull battery to restart phone.

I'm sorry for not explaining things with the link. That is the three files that Titanium Backup creates when backing up an app. I zipped them into one file. Unzip them into your Titanium Backup folder on your SD card, and restore the phone app through Titanium Backup.
Well I give up, just going to stick with Dialer 1. Took zip, extracted and moved to Tibu backup folder, went into Tibu, didn't show up in apps list went to batch and reinstalled from batch mode and still nada. Tibu shows as installed but not there. Under application settings it shows 0.00 for file size, that can't be right, so guessing did not install.

No need for any flashing!!!
Just go into a file explorer (like root explorer) and go into system/app/ and look for the app the has disappeared and hold it down, a menu will pop up and go down to permissions.
there will be 3 columns. The first one should have all 3 boxes checked, the second column should only have the top box checked, and the last column should have all boxes UNCHECKED.
After you do that press ok and there should be a pop up saying that permissions were changed!
And that's it! Your app should be back! If not, try installing it after u change the permissions by pressing down on the app until u get a pop up and press open with, then pick apk handler, then just install, and it should work!
I'm new to the forums, so I hope this is helpful!

No one has suggested or recommended flashing in this thread, to my knowledge.
Killyjoy's suggestion may very well work, but the file you downloaded from me might not have been the right one.
I have two trios of files that came from Titanium Backup when I was trying to restore the phone app. One trio has the word "phone" in it...and that's what you downloaded from me the first time, the other trio has the word "dialer" in it, and that is here
My initial instructions should still apply. Unzip these three files into your Titanium Backup folder of your SD card. Look in TiBu for "[Voicemail] Dialer"
You should see that there is a backup from 4/06/12. If the app shows as installed on your phone, I'd uninstall it (MAKE SURE you see that TiBu recognizes a backup exists first) and then restore the app+data from the backup.
That's how I got back up and running......if you want to give the TiBu method one more go.

If using Tibu to reinstall back up, I had to verify back up was there then uninstall in TiBu and then reinstall.

Ok so I think I've got it figured out.
You delete the app that's missing out of the system
/app folder.
Copy and paste the new app into the system/app folder.
And then check the permissions and then reboot and it should be there.
Note: the app that your replacing needs to be from the Same ROM. So just download the rom your using and extract the app and go from there.
So next time your app goes missing, try this method and let me know if it works.
