[REQ] Help with creating a cab file for the new Swype IME Keyboard[Canceled]

Canceled please do not post anymore links in this thread.
I think this is a newer version than the one that came from the Omnia.
Removed LINK
Thanks to those who helped.

I tried creating one with path to Windows\Swype and it did not work either.

Oh please, help him !

yes, because it must be possible...Duty and other are already using the keyboard in their ROMs

It work cooked in with no problem. I just want to install this new version which seems to really work good on our Leo by cab. If it works then I will try to remove the Tutorial WMV file included which is 9mb.

This cab is from the Blackbird : "http://rapidshare.com/files/349533472/Swype-HTCBlackBird-3.9.10.10.5032.zip" i'ts almost the same as yours.

that would be great to install it just by a cab

Thanks I will have a look at it.
Ok it looks like the main difference is the use of the setup.dll and the path of the swype.dll is windows. I'm going to give it a try and if all is working I will post my cab here.

what problem are you having with it?
I have not had much luck as of yet.

Just would not open when you select it from the menu. It looks from this other cab the dll is placed in windows. I'm going to try this.

Ok I have got it working now. The dll file has to be in Windows directory to work. I'm uploading my complete Full version extracted from the 2.07 ROM now and will post it on the first post. I will also make a version without all the the tutorials to save space and upload it too. But the tutorials are good in the beginning to learn how to swype.

hm there is no other language available if you look into the options
there is also a message that it is not made working on my device (hd2) and will only works with limited functionality (that means it is not possible) to write words

I think it is this way when built in the ROM. I read somewhere that swype was going to add some support for other languages so it might not be implemented yet.
EDIT: The languages are working. just go into the input options for swype or press and hold the top left button to bring up a language menu. The actual keyboard layout doesn't change but the recognition does. Try it.

but there are already ROMs from Duty and others which have other languages and dictionaries available...
if I'm downloading this ROM you'll be able to extract it from there?

The cab doesn't work mate
It installs fine but i can't type anything
Nothing is coming up when i swype

the same here... and furthermore we need the international version (multilanguage support)

i tried your cab. i'm not able to write anything and cant switch language

I think this is normal, bcz the swype function was not working in the 2.07 stock rom too

instead of tapping the letters on the keyboard you swipe. you can enter the words faster with it cos you don't have to tap on each letter
watch the video. its shows you how it works

its not gonna drain the battery since it just replaces the default input method

Downloaded, installed, rebooted, ... nothing happened. I looked also for some settings, but i didn't find. Do you know how to activate swype???

u dont need to reboot after you install it. you should have swype working if you follow the installation process on the first post... look for Language & keyboard on the settings

[PATCH] Italian, French (AZERTY), Greek and Portuguese layout for physical keyboard

Hello guys, as described in the title, i've reworked the generic.kcm file to give an italian, french and greek generic layout for the keyboard.
Ampinto has ported the portuguese layout, so a big thank to him for his work
It's not 100% perfect, but work pretty good, tested on 3.1 acer rom, taboonay mod V.1.0.4.
I would say a big Thank to Salleq that was first to modify Generic.kcm for his language.
That need root access
the installation it's really simple:
1. With a root explorer, go into /system/usr/keychars
2. Make a backup copy of the file Generic.kcm
3. copy the new Generic_(language).kcm.txt into the mentioned directory
4. Rename Generic_(language).kcm.txt into Generic.kcm
5. Fix permission read / all, write / proprietary, exec / none.
! IMPORTANT !
I'm not responsible for any damage or problem occurred to your device!
I hope that will be usefull for someone
Update: fixed accented letters, download again the file to get the update
Update-2: Added initial release of french (AZERTY) layout, must be tested, i haven't an azerty keyboard...
Update-3: Updated french layout, download again to get update. Fixed two wrong keys on french layout, please, report if find wrong or missed keys.
Update-4: First release of greek layout, must be tested for fix wrong keys, i haven't a greek keyboard, so, please report me any problem and it will be fixed.
Update-5: Fixed French layout, now work!
Update-6: Added Portuguese layout, credit for this goes to Ampinto.
I would be gratefull if someone try the french and greek layout and report me a feedback for fix it!
Thanks

If can be useful i can create the cwn script.
In the next days (when i'll find a bit of time) i'll try to fix the accented letters.
P.S. If someone want his keyboard layout, can ask for the release

Attachment to the first post updated: fixed some wrong symbol and accented letters. Download again & replace!

First post updated for all friends from france
Hope that will be usefull ^^

It probably will ;-)
Thanks.

I've updated the french layout and fixed two wrong keys on that, see first post.

Ciao Rhys! Do you think you could do a greek layout too? You can have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Greek for the letter map.
Thanks!

i've already see the greek layout, now, i have not time, but tomorrow i'll do the porting

Thanks for that, you are quick! I can't try the greek one immediately, as I am away from my desktop, but I will as soon as I can.

It would give you a lot of work to implement a Portuguese keyboard?
Many users would appreciate.
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Android 4.2.2 stock keyboard dictionary problem

Hi guys,
I have the same issue on every 4.2.2 ROM I tried. I'd like to check out the new swiping JB keyboard, but I can't get the Polish optional dictionary to work. Have you tried any downloadable language and succeeded? It says it's downloaded, but when typing the dictionary is empty (only contact names) and swiping doesn't work.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions - thanks in advance.

I use SwiftKey but this should work for you as well. Go to System / Settings / Language & Input and find the keyboard you are using (may have scroll to see it) To the tight of the name tap the icon for preferences. Sample in the keyboard's preferences you should be able to find languages. Change it.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Yes, I did it. Changing it doesn't make it work in writing. Only contact names still- that's the problem.

You're not alone! It is a real bug affecting lots! For me the issue is that all the APKs I find are all like this! I'm writing a more informative text which I will finish and post tomorrow hopefully. In the meantime, could someone extract a version of android keyboard where it's working and post it?

[Q] I lost my hebrew

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem, i don't know what happened, but suddenly the hebrew disapeared from my samsung keyboard. As usual, when I want to input hebrew text, i swype the space bar to switch to hebrew. And two days ago i had lost my hebrew keyboard and all was left was english(US) and french.
So I checked out the languages in the parameters. I still have the hebrew in the menu languages, as well as in the speech recognition from google, but it has disapeared from the input list of the samsung keyboard. actually I found it back in the trash of this list. So thinking I could restore it by downloading it again from the server if it was really deleted I emptied the trash, sadly nothing happened, no new language to download when updating from the server.
Has anyone got a clue ?
I guess hebrew is flagged as deleted somewhere in the parameter files, so it is no longer proposed to download.
Btw, my phone is a Galaxy S4, of course, GT-I9505 JDQ39.I9505XXUBMEA Android 4.2.2 rooted.
Thnks in advance to anyone who might help.

Hi again
So it doesn't ring any bell to any one ?
I can't believe it...

You might get help in the i9505 section of the forum instead of the i337 section for AT&T version of S4.

Download an other keyboard and check maybe there you can change the language.

Download and flash your rom again, but remember back up your files & media.

Hi, Why not, I just need the samsung keyboard with hebrew on, you know where to find a ROM where I'm gonna find it ?
Cause sincerely I didn't find the files i'm supposed to ZIP and reinstall to save and backup the app as explained on this forum...

go to this site and download the latest rom
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
just search for your device model

So thank's to Samsung hotline, I wasted 2 hours resetting the phone, and reinstalling the whole stuff....
So I lost my SMS (OK I AM STUPID i forgot to backup), i had to reconfigure everything, but still no hebrew keyboard....)
Samsung Hotline is useless....
we'll see with a new ROM, bsd.

Ok when you have the samsung keyboard open, press the gear icon button thingy.
That will bring you to settings > samsung keyboard settings.
Scroll all the way down to "Reset settings" and press that.
Then scroll back up to the select input languages, press that and it'll have a popup and that'll ask you if you want to download new langs now, do that.
Scroll down and you'll see one like עִבְרִית, select that and it'll download that and then you can select the downloaded langs on the top of that screen.
And then it'll work when you swipe the space bar.
My region is ttt, I'm not sure what your phone's is.
You phone's rom region may not have that selection anymore ^^, just something to keep in mind.
If this doesn't work after a fresh rom install or something then I would go find a diff region to flash.
I'm not even sure how to change the csc anymore though on 4.4.2, my script doesn't work anymore for that and most of the phone codes don't work either so I can't check it.
I kinda suspect the nb3 rom, ttt region isn't actually ttt but whatever lol.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter though.
The link one-option posted above is where I get my roms from and so does most everyone else that does manual updates.
What does עִבְרִית mean anyways?
Curious.
