[Q] Replacing stock keyboard with Xperia one. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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--

ICS Files as of 11/10/2011 (flashable zip) (Music fix)

This is a flashable zip i made of all leaked stuffs from ICS
Zip was uploaded by my LG P500 average speed 30/kbs
http://www.multiupload.com/H2HGADOYGK
Zip does not haveICS Launcher Included!
The market launcher is not inside this neither is the official ,
Zip has been flashed and tested and it works, you do not need to wipe anything, but if you want to that's ok.

I have solved the force close music app issue. First, flash the ICS.zip file, then use root explorer to copy Music.apk from system/app/ and place somewhere on your SD card for later. Use root uninstaller to remove Music.apk. Then copy Music.apk from the SD card back to system/app/ and change permissions to rw-r--r--. What I did to get it to work was, I launched Music.apk from system/app/ and installed. It said install unsuccessful. I then rebooted and have had no issues since then. The app is no longer treated like a system app but a downloaded app instead. It still works great.

modify apps in a ROM

Good evening guys, (in Italy it's half past six p.m.) i tried the old GingerXperia v22 ROM, it's really good, it works perfectly on alfs 08 with no bugs and pretty xperia style. But two things i want to change: the MMS app, is in english, and i want put the stock gingerbread MMS app wich is italian; and the Camera, it's miui style, pretty, but it has a bug in video recording, and i want replace it with the stock camera app.
it's an odexed ROM, how to do this? just change the apps in the zip file to flash?
Good question, i use prime HD rom but i like radio apk from antchojan rom.
Enviado desde mi E15i usando Tapatalk
changing the apps wont work...radio and camera are service apps which keep on running...this should work:-
1.change the app
2.copy permissions from that rom
3.HAVNT TRIED IT BUT SHOULD WORK
(correct me if im wrong,anyone??)
hit thanks if this works...
If you have backups of the apps that you want in your ROM then what you could do is delete the original system apps and replace them with the one you want and set permissions as:
XXO
XOO

[Q} What 'Launcher' is this?

I'm on stock ROM with tablet mode enabled (changed DPI in build.prop) and this is my home screen. I really like the app launcher being the discrete little icon in the top corner but I have no idea how to change settings to get that there on another ROM. I've loaded several different ROMs but always end up restoring my backup just for that launcher!
Can anybody tell me what that is and how to configure it on other ROMs?
That's the stock launcher in tablet mode.

I knew the answer would be simple. Thank you! So if I want that on another ROM I can just extract Launcher2.apk from this one and install elsewhere? Or do I need other files too?

Just put the other rom into tablet mode via dpi and it'll do it automatically. Or use paranoid android and select everything to be tablet without changing DPI.

I had tried that on Paranoid but was still left with the phone launcher. I'm going to play around a bit tonight though. I've got 3 or 4 ROMs downloaded and I'll see which one I can make work. Thanks again.

[MOD] Working Phone.apk for 120 DPI resolutions

Well, after long hours of testing lots of different "phone.apk" apps (about 30 from random posts) for the 120 DPI resolution I found the one working with the CM9 Lastkiss ROM, this one doesn't give you:
* Force closes
* Microphone problems
* Random turning on and off data
* Contacts.apk force closes
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everything is working fine.
The downloads are attached in the post, one is for you to put on "system/app" and set permissions to
Phone.apk
1.- Go to "system/app" and rename your "phone.apk" to "phone.apk.bak"
2.- Copy to "system/app"
3.- Set permissions to:
rrxx
rxxx
rxxx
4.- Reboot your phone.

phone (flashable).zip
1.- Boot into recovery
2.- Select "install"
3.- Select the file "phone (flashable).zip" and flash it
4.- Reboot your phone

Some themes doesn't support our phones so we need to change dpi size for that themes to work and phone apk doesn't support that dpi and we use phone apk from another ics phone .

Oh yes! Sorry, even I always do that, but I just never tested phone.apk when I changed the DPI down to 140, so I asked that stupid question...

So what's news is there? I haven't been on 140 in a week...only time I change the dpi is when switching to a hdpi theme....

Well the link someone provided here worked at 140 DPI, there was no FC. But Mic wasn't wroking.
The link attached in this thread keeps FC!!
I just like 140 too much. Will be switching to AOKP which released today, Hephappy build is awesome but I wanted 140 DPI.

Sorry, I can't upload anything ATM because I don't have an internet connection :/
But all of them are on XDA-Developers, just type the name of the theme on google and add "xda developers"
ie: "cm9_xperia_mdpi.apk xda developers"
That should bring the thread.

Are you rooted?
If yes, then placing the apk in /system/app MIGHT do it.
It's been a while since I've had to do this, so my memory is a bit hazy on if that's all you have to do.

If you do this, best back up the original first.
Also you MUST set the permissions to 644

I've done that and still no luck.
Even if I put the original back where it needs to be I'm still missing the original Samsun keyboard.
Feel like I'm missing a step or doing something wrong.
I'm using es file explorer, Root explorer enabled and changed permissions after copying to system/apps.
Any other advice, am I missing a step?

Put your original Samsung keyboard back and restart and you will have the original one back.
