[Q] How to install Swype on Epic

I accidentally deleted my swype system app backup. Now I am trying to reinstall it back by taking swype.apk from system dump that I downloaded somewhere on this forum and place it to System/app then run the install.
Everything looks fine as far as installation but then when I try to use it, it always says that this swype was configured for different devices. I am able to type using swype keyboard but I am not able to swype.
Anyone has any idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
Hien Khieu.

I need a bit of help. I was having little niggles with jpd like the keyboard wouldnt go off screen when a new page was loading and when i finishing a call the screen wouldnt relight when i was moving from the proximity sensor so i flashed jpf instead. Iv re rooted. G3modded and overclocked and its running fine apart from my gallery isnt working. it just says loading images and the screen goes black and stays like that till i click back. Can anyone send me a link to a gallery apk so o can delete this one and redownload it. Thanks in advance

you can't instal it! you have to copy the apk to system/app

Oh i thought i just went into file manager and installed it. How do i copy it into system apps
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

Come on man
with root explorer. just press and hold the file, choose copy, navigate by back key, go to system/apps, mount as r/w, paste it there. I hope ur problem is solved by now.

Ok iv got the gallery app installed and showing in the app draw. But the original problem is ocurring. Click on gallery = black screen. Mite have to reflash with a different rom. I cant understant the problem as the rom is from samfirmware

CM9 keyboard replacement?

I flashed CM9 a couple of weeks ago but I'm not liking the new keyboard at all. Using Swiftkey 3 Beta currently.
I have an apk of the Defy Multi-Touch Keyboard.
When I try to install it I get a message saying there already exists a same apk of the same name with conflicting signatures. I want to flash my old keyboard real bad.
1. Tell me how to remove the existing apk. just tell the name of the apk. I know how to remove it
2. Else tell me how to flash it
Please help

Try replacing it in /system/app I think it's called Latinime.apk. That's the name in gb. Set permissions like three other apps and reboot.

You can use swype beta. I am using it and it works fine. Just that you need to install with its own installer available at the swype page

Swype is terrible compared to the Droid X/Defy keyboard...it's laggy

How do you change keyboards from rom

I currently have the android revolution Rom and want to get rid of the arrow keys on the bottom of the keyboard.
So I'm guessing I would have to replace the keyboard completly

As far as I know that is true unless the keyboard has configuration options, or plugins of some sort.

Nope there is no settings and yeah I don't use the arrows at all just takes up space for me

My favorite is the swype beta, which available for free if you register for it at http://beta.swype.com
Good Luck!

I understand that the easy way out but I like the stock keyboard was looking for someone to tell me how to swap out the keyboard or flash another or something
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

I thought RC tweaks had an option for turning the arrows off?

I looked all over rc Tweaks and didnt see anything about it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

If u wanna swap out a keyboard from a different rom just take out the apk and replace it.

Ok thanks and its just a simple cut and paste? Do I have to reflash it with the Rom? Also where would that be located?

Do not proceed if you have no idea what you're doing! i'm not responsible for whatever happens to your device by following this guide.​
Method 1. use a file explorer that has access to the system like root explorer.
make sure you have rw access first
copy the file to /system/app
set permissions to rw r r
reboot
Method 2. use androidSDK/adb
move the file to location of adb i.e C:/androidsdk/platform-tools
connect phone to computer
open command window
type in the following:
Code:
adb devices
adb push location-of-your-file /system/app
adb reboot
you made need to set permissions for it to work
to do that:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /system/app/name-of-file
reboot
both these methods require su and root!

Can you also add a keyboard as a 2nd one..like instead of replacing one, just add an apk and have the option to choose between the 2?

Yeah. When you add a keyboard (like swift key keyboard) just go to settings, language & keyboard, then select your keyboard you just installed. Voila!

One more question.. I looked in system/app with root explorer, and I looked 2 and 3.times, and I see no keyboard apk? Where else could it be or what other name?

Ok, I took the HTC_IME.apk from the LeeDroid Rom which my wife uses, & I put it in the /system/app folder in the Endymion Rom which I am using and I fixed permissions, rebooted, & it works ok til I try to close it after I'm done typing, then it force closes. It just says HTC_ime has stopped suddenly and must close bla bla bla! My 1st thought was that I think LeeDroid is sense 3.0 & this Endymion is sense 3.5? Or is there another way to fix it? Only difference is the arrows across the bottom, which I like. Thanks..

That's what it sounds like. Try taking it from Virtuous Fusion or Unity, then it will probably work.

Also im doing it in terminal emulator I dont know if thats causing my problem cuz the .apk keeps causing a fc

[Q] Replacing stock keyboard with Xperia one.

Hey!
I can't stand the keyboard with the stock ROM so would like to replace it with the Xperia one from my Xperia P (ICS) which I think is almost perfect.
So I copied the (textinput-tng) apk from my phone over to the N7 and installed it, and all looks well; can configure the keyboard, etc.
Problem is, every time the keyboard tries to start up, it FC's
Does anyone know of any hack that'll get the keyboard working, or is it some unreconcilable differences between ICS and JB (or maybe some Sony propriety code)?
Cheers!
n.b. N7 is unlocked, rooted, on stock ROM with Clemsyn's elite kernel.

Installed the app via the apk so didn't think I'd have to change the permissions, but when I checked the file in data/app, the permissions were the same as the other files -wr-r--r--
