CM9 keyboard replacement? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Keyboard on froyo test rom

Has anyone been able or tried to install the HTC_ime keyboard onvy froyo add get it to work ? When I installed it I got a force close loop.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Only the 1.5 version of the HTC_IME keyboard works with the 2.2 ROM. Unfortunately, the voice input does not work since it is only the 1.5 version. This is the version that works.

There are two .apk to install and both are in the zip file... with the time spent posting that question you could have just opened it and found out what was inside
I use ShapeWriter and it works perfectly.

@derekwilkinson - i dont think it was necessary for you to get smart all i did was ask a simple question b/c i didnt know. being the smart ass you seem to be you should have realized i didnt know i was supposed to unzip it until i realized the flash failed and said it wasnt working !
Use a file explorer like Astro to open the .zip. You should get an option to open with app manager (or something along those lines ha ha) and you should be able to install.

pushing necessary lib files will enable farther versions of the IME keyboard to work, you still dont get voice recognition to work but the keyboard is there.

Installing apk

Im rtooted with sideloading enabled and on a deodexed system. I was wondering if it were possible to install apk's. Id like to use stock gallery and mms along with other stock android apps. On my captivate it was as easy as dropping the apk into the system/app folder. Ive tried this and it didnt work so well.....anyone have any ideas if this is possible?

I've installed a couple apps via adb. adb install appname.apk
You could try emailing it to you and trying to open it, I haven't tried that on the Atrix tho
Thats what im trying to narrow down. Ive never installed adb on my computer. I want to learn...i know i saw somewhere in the atrix forums a how to install android sdk and how to use it somewhere.....anyone point me in the right direction?

Am having the same problem also..
When the tab tries to update samsung apps it downloads new versions of the samsungapps.apk and the samsungapps.una.apk to /data/apps folder. Both apps install manually but on launch samsung apps still wants to upodate the una.apk.
I assume its a r/w rights issue with the modaco rom but have so far failed in my attempts to sort it...
Hope someone has the answer to this!
Its your csc code.
i suggest you to not update samsung store, the new one is a mess... it says updates in all apps even if you don't have installed ones and the new layout is crap too.
Same problem here... :-(
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
Read this in a other thread on XDA. Did what it said and now i can update and have access to the new layout off samsung apps. I also have modacos rom and used root explorer to delete the file.

If you want to update SamsungApps on modaco - just delete /system/app/UNAService.apk (don't forget to make a backup of this file)

Thanks for the guidance - I can now open Samsung Apps. And understand what the other posts mean!
Terrible interface, and most of the apps are not worth having.

This didnt work for me previously but tried it again and it worked! (i also put in my active sim rather than a dummy one.)

cyanogenmod Camera crash

My camera app always crashes(force close) in cyanogenmod....any idea to fix it...also I need swype keyboard in cyanogen for my defy...pls post any link to get swype
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Just go to Manage application > All > Camera and delete cache.
Here is swype http://db.tt/huBFDRL
After installing Swype.apk You'll have to push the libSwypecore.so into system/lib using adb or copy it into that folder using Rootexplorer and fix the permissions.

But when I set this installed swype keyboard, it simply says ur defy screen size is not supported...

I'm having the same issue...but it doesnt seem to be a CM exclusive problem...tried the GE ROM By jamal, and the CM 10.2 M1, both of them seem to crash the camera/gallery from time to time...not always...
I use the swipe that SwiftKey has. And it is excellent.

[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--
