[Q] Gingerbread Keyboard

Quick question. It says put the file/folder in the root of your SD Card, Boot into recovery, then flash the zip file, for example Gingerbread Keyboard, but every time you boot into recovery, it just brings up Windows Mobile, help?

There is no such thing as "Recovery" for us since we run off the SD card. You will have to use something like "Root Explorer" or something with root rights and copy and paste it to system>>app. Be sure to copy the lib that comes with the keyboard. That one will go into System>>lib. If you have any troubles you can PM me if you like.
P.S. Questions should go in the Q&A section, just a heads up man.
Forgot to mention. When I say copy and paste, I mean the actual app and lib that is inside the folder. You will have to unzip it first and you will see what I am talking about once you see it. One with say .apk at the end (which is the app) and one will have a .lib at the end which is the lib file.

I unzipped the file, I have a folder called "App", which as the .apk, and a folder called "Lib" which has the ".lib", so I want to copy and paste the .lib into system/lib, and the app in system/app, do I put both files on the root of my SD card first? and once I copy and past both into Root Explorer System/lib and System/app, what do I do next?

just reboot after that, infact just keep going on market and d/l a few things and it should update to the newer version itself, hope this helps.

just use titanium backup, I backed up the keyboard along with my apps so if I switched builds and it does't have the gingerbread keyboard, it will add it when do an app restore. One thing you have to manually select the keyboard from the app list, long press and backup.

just do an adb push it is the easiest way.
download the gingerbread keyboard (LatinIME.apk) and the lib file (libjni_latinime.so)
(assuming you have the sdk installed and you have usb debug turned on)
in command prompt, navigate to the folder that contain these two files.
then type: adb push Latinime.apk /system/app/ (press enter)
then type: adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/ (press enter)
then you should have the new keyboard installed!

How to install dsp manager?

hi, does anyone know how to install dsp manager to hd2 android? people with native android phones install it via recovery mode, but I don't know how to do this with hd2. here's one thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773449
thanks

You put the apk in the root/system/app folder and you put the libaudioflinger.so in the root/system/lib folder and full reboot android and it should work
*if non of the folders exist then create them and if libaudioflinger.so allready exists then overwrite it

I've tried replacing it.. but it does not allow me to replace the file

Use ES File Explorer to mount system data as writable. its free from the market.
open es file explorer, go to settings and pick root options.

I'm currently using ES file explorer.. but i cant check the Mount File System

Hey TheiPhoneKiller!
Where can I find these files? I´ve downloaded this zip file, but I can´t find a libaudioflinger.so in there...

here we go,ive uploaded it for you

thank you, man

Thanks... its working on normal builds, i think this doesn't work with ram edition builds.

ok, i finally tried installing this as instructed and after reboot the phone just stalls at htc logo. i rebooted once more and still the same. so i did a fresh install
edit: apparently my build (jdms) already has dsp manager built in.

Trying to Install xRecovery

So I'm trying to install xRecovery using this link and I download the .zip file and unpack it. First I try to "Automatic Installation (recommended): Open xRecovery installer app and tap "Install xRecovery" but I can't find the xRecovery installer anywhere so I try:
Manual Installation:
- Download the apk, rename it to xrecoveryZIP
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)
- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer (remember to remount /system rw
but when I go to the /system folder there's no /bin folder and I have zero clue what to do
PS - as far as i know i've successfully rooted my phone using superoneclick

First make sure your phone is rooted, then install Busybox from Market. Make sure Busybox is installed on xbin, not bin..
Got into the same prob coz its installed on bin, tried to reinstall busybox and saved it to xbin and i manage to install xrecovery..

Thanks for the quick reply! In the busybox installer it says "status: done" but i don't know if it actually installed or not b/c i don't see busybox anywhere ??

k so i can get to the system/bin folder on my phone but i can't copy over the files like the instruction says it says "xxxx file copy failed" for every file i try to paste into the /system/bin...i like to think i'm not completely retarded but this ish is killin' me

When you install Busybox, theres an option where to install it. install it to xbin, not bin.
When it's done, its done. then try installing xrecovery.
Also, install xrecovery using the Automatic way, its easier..
When doing a copy/pasting or editing, make sure Root Explorer is in r/w, not r/o

I would install it the automatic way if I could find the installer anywhere :-/

Dude its in that thread: http://www.mediafire.com/?eyihuzn4h96xw4c
DL that then, go to Market and search for an apk installer. install that.
Then copy the xrecovery apk to ur sd. open the apk installer of ur choice. it should then scan for apks in ur sd card. install xrecovery and ur done.

I too am having the same problem as yours but managed to overcome this issue by installing xrecovery via flashtool.

the file that downloads from that link is a .zip. do I need to change the extension to .apk? (i know it says .apk on the link but when you download it there's no .apk)

Because your pc is not showing the file extensions.

Theres a free root explorer in the market. Look for one.. Try looking for some youtube videos online for the x10...
Sent from my Rooted X10i

if i watch this video, there's a point where he clicks on the file on his phone and the file's icon is the little android mascot or whatever and when he clicks on it it gives him the option to open it with the app manager and when he clicks on it it takes him through the installation. whenever i go to the file on my phone, 1) the icon attached to it is the same as for a .zip file and 2) when i click on it it only gives me the option to extract it.

Also, give flashtool a try.... Gtg.

thx for trying to help, much appreciated.
any other takers???

Dont extract it, just copy the file the way it is to ur sd card... Scan again with an apk installer...

that's what i did, copied it without extracting it

[Q] File Manager not working

I don't know if it's just me or not. When trying to copy a custom bootanimation.zip to system/media after upgrading to cyanogenmod 10.2, file manager asks to confirm the overwrite, and after clicking overwrite I get an error, "The file or folder was not found." After the error I try going back to storage/emulated and file manager doesn't show anything below emulated. I have to restart the app to see the files and folders below emulated. I am sure the file structure is okay because I can connect it to my pc and browse and manage the files.

Latest root method in Android 4.3 no longer work on /storage/emulated/0/, try use /storage/emulated/legacy to copy your file.

You get used to doing something one way ...
