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!
So I rooted my device, hten followed a guide, that Instructed me to replace two files in the system/framework folder, services.jar and services.odex, i backed them up, but like a fool i backed them up in the same folder, which i can't access, I can restore from CWM and i was actually hoping someone had a system recovery that i could borrow, since i can't seem to figure out how to change the files back within my cwm backup.

Okay, slow down. You can fix this. There are only a few steps:
1. Download the stock odexed rom. You can find it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712466565
2. Extract the stock rom.
3. Navigate to the system/framework folder
4. Copy services.jar and services.odex to your phone (download folder or anywhere on your sdcard is fine)
5. Since you are rooted, you can use a root file explorer to copy those files to your system/framework folder on your phone. Locate the two files you copied from the stock odex rom on your computer. Paste these into system framework, and overwrite the two existing files (you can use ES file manager or other root browser to accomplish this)
That's it! There are many other ways to do this, but this is probably the simplest.
I'd just flash a custom rom with hotspot though
Hi
I have a question because I don't know how to install cereberus.apk as a system file.
I have single .apk file but in system\app I have some folders with apk files inside.
Do I need to make folder for my apk file or only copy this and change permissions (644)?
And which is the best place for this apk:
*system\app
or
*data\app?
Thanks a lot
If you are rooted you can use titanium backup to change it from a normal app to a system app.
^This
Alternatively you can drop the apk into system/priv-app, fix its permissions and then reboot.
After update from nougat to oreo, I've have problem with integration updated apps in to /system.
I do it like this:
1. copy apk file from data/apk to sd card
2. rename copied apk file to name of /system apk
3. extract lib folder from apk
4. copy newer file to proper folder in /system/app or /system/priv-app and replace file in it
5. Copy lib files extracted form apk to right folder /system/lib or /system/lib64
6. Uninstall update from /data/app
7. reboot + dalvik-cache wipe
In nougat it was working, but in oreo, app after integration, breaks. It cannot be open, and app name changes to random words (ex. google docs name changes to "write com.android").
To repair integrated apps I have to perform a full /data/ wipe.
Is it a some kind of protection? How to do it properly?
TitaniumBackup and Link2SD cannot integrate updates to rom properly without errors since Lolipop.
So no one knows?
or just nobody wants to write?
I cannot copy any file from local storage to root directory. anyone can help?
note: my samsung grand 2 setting app not work after install custom rom. now trying to change the old setting apk to new apk (which collect from xda) from root directory
