[update: 08/03/2012] [TUT]How to Port Samsung keyboard from stock Rom flash zip file

Thnkx to my friend adib_17 from galaxy mini section for guiding me for this.
spent 4 days in learning and testing and now its working on carbon for me. file is flashable.
This tutorial show you how to port stock sam keyboard to a custom rom.
you need these files and folders ... take from your stock rom odin flashable file: (use magicIso or UltraIso)
- T9DB folder (from csc.rfs file)
- AxT9IME.apk and AxT9IME.odex (from system.rfs file in app folder)
- touchwiz.xml (from system.rfs file in etc->permissions folder)
- libdhwr.so and libXt9core.so (from system.rfs file in lib folder)
first deodex your AxT9IME.apk (see post #2)
make a flashable zip file and put stock files like this: (or use attachment zip file and delet my files and put your files.)
- T9DB folder in: yourzip/system/
- touchwiz.xml in: yourzip/system/etc/permissions
- libdhwr.so and libXt9core.so in: yourzip/system/lib
- deodex AxT9IME.apk in: yourzip/system/app
move zip file to SDcard and reboot to recovery(CWR) and select "install zip from SD". after install go to advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache.
finish! now reboot and use Samsung keyboard with your language.
# if your rom is odex go to system/app with root explorer, find AxT9IME.apk and AxT9IME.odex and add ".bak" to end of two files then reboot to recovery.#
Asian rom keyboard extracted from S5830DDKQ6 INDIA with this languages:
English(US)-English(UK)-France-polski-Korean-deutsch-espanolitaliano and many more (all rom have english and Korean)
Note : Before flashing got to system/app and rename your old keyboard and add .bak in the end of its name.
for example : if old keyboard is latin.apk and latin.odex then rename to latin.apk.bak and latin.odex.bak.
thats all now go into recovery
1. clear dalvik cache.
2. install my zip.
3. reboot enjoy samsung keyboard.
Added 2 new versions all files are flash-able via cmw recovery :
1. For voice input like this (in attachment) :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. swype keyboard original ( link )
​
Download link for swype :
http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/P3TESM5K/swype_by_MOR.zip_links​

How to deodex ...
Install Java Runtime Enviroment on your PC.
Download backsmali.jar and smali.jar from attachment.
Make a folder like edit in root of a drive (ex: C:\edit )
Put backsmali.jar and smali.jar files in this direction.
You need 7 odex file from stock framwork:
- android.policy.odex
- bouncycastle.odex
- core.odex
- core-junit.odex
- ext.odex
- framework.odex
- services.odex
Put all files in "edit" folder. Now put AxT9IME.odex file in this folder.
Run windows cmd (go to start menu, Run... and type cmd and then enter)
First line go to "edit" folder by insert this commend : (you can copy and past this comment from here)
Code:
cd\edit
Next, insert this line for backsmali AxT9IME.odex :
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -x AxT9IME.odex
Now you have a out folder. Don't touch it.
Insert this commend for smali your work :
Code:
java -jar smali.jar out
Now in "edit" folder you have a file like this: out.dex
Rename file to classes.dex , open your AxT9IME.apk with winRar (or any program like this) push your .dex file to .apk file ... WooW, now you deodex your fist android system app.

reserved for future use....

[tutorial] | how to extract system.sin

why to extract system.sin?
you can use it to retrieve lost files, like apps.
what do we need to have to extract the system.sin?
- winrar/winzip/7zip/etc...
-the latest flashtool
-yaffey
so lets start
first we need to extract the system.sin from the FTF using winrar/winzip/etc...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
now open flashtool and go to: advanced->sin editor, and choose the system.sin
and then dump the DATA.
note: you need to wait, it might take a while.
now you will get the system.yaffs2
so now you need to open yaffey and open system.yaffs2
now you can do what ever you want with the files,
extract them, replace them...

i might need that

i might need that too

i don't think so. it might work on the cache and the data.
if you want to extract the kernel there are guides for that in the dev section.

I get an .ext4 file and a system.partinfo file...
Anyway, this program worked fine. Run as admin.

if it's an lt26 firmware than you will get ext4 file and not yaffs2.

ST18i probably doesn't use yaffs2, maybe ext4.

how to you recompak the extracted and modified file back into a SIN file?

you can repack it to a .img file with yaffey or mkyaffs2.
it is not possible to create a .sin file if you are not SONY

I use unyaffs.exe (source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112906)

I don't think so, if it's ext4, then the output file should be system.ext4 instead of system.yaffs2, it also happens to ST15i ICS system.sin, and ext2explore can't open it too (so, it isn't ext4 for sure).
Maybe, yaffey doesn't support sony ICS yaffs2 disk image?

it doesn't matter if its ics or not, and i tried myself on ics.
if yaffey can't open it than maybe the file is corrupted.
can you get a screenshot of the error or write it?

As you can all see on the first post, the content type field inform you about the type of data embedded into the sin file. As far as it is yaffs2, everything should be fine (I never had any issues with yaffs2 images). In case it is ext4, here begins headache sometimes it works and image can be loop mounted under linux for example. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you can view folder structure but as soon as you try to edit a text file (.prop file for example or one in etc folder), you get a completely corrupted file.
The problem is not with extraction. It is with how sony deals with ext4 filesystems. I didn't figure out yet how to make it work all the time.
If the content type is elf, use the Advanced->Elf Extractor to unpack the content. You can try with kernel.sin for example and I'm sure you will recognize some things once extracted

I know that, system.sin from GB was extracted without any error, I faced the problem only with system.sin from ICS.
both system.sin from GB and ICS (ST15i) after were dumped using flashtool are system.yaffs2 (the content type field also showed yaffs2).

The error I've got is exactly the same as mxsam4's screenshot.
I don't think that it's corrupted since the ftf file was flashed fine into my phone (I extracted system.sin from it).
P.S.
I didn't get any error when opening system.yaffs2 from system.sin from GB ftf.

Good work. as always.
will try it and get back.
Edit: when i opened the backup, i didn't have .img (data.yaffs2.img) file, i had .win files (twrp backup)
so i should just copy that and rename it to .zip?
edit: did that and got broken image
btw the zip contains a folder rom in which all the files are present, ie not directly in the zip

Extracting ext4 images on Windows is not possible unless you use a 3rd party software like DiskInternals Linux Reader etc. Even after extracting ext4 images using this method, some symlinks get broken and hence your rom will fail to boot or will have some bugs. The safest method to extract ext4 images is to extract it in Linux.
@Abhinav2 - Nice work

No problem bro. For those who want to extract ext4 images, you can run this command in Linux -
Code:
mkdir temp
mount -o loop filename.ext4 temp
Then enter the temp folder and copy all the files to another folder.

No problem .i can make an flashable from nandroid just with 2 programs!(7 zip & ext2read)

Can you write the steps how?
I'll try to automate it

yes i tried but surely didn't work
in new wp8.1 sdk there is a dll file i think it name was appxdeployer.dll you can find it after appverify.exe
this file deploy appx files
if you try you can't install appx files on whole sdk 8.1 and it returns an error that you have to developer unlock your device first or something like that .

And is there any chance that we can somehow recompile this appx into xap file keeping it`s permissions?

i didn't unregister my phone.
as i said appxdeployer dll is not in GDR3 so you can't deploy appx anyhow
for decompile and recompile to xap
you can check winmd codes using .Net reflector 8.0
and for rebuild files in xap format *maybe* yes.
we can use winmd files in wp8 so adding a winmd to vs may work
we know there's a lot of hidden things in wp8.1 sdk
some of them:
action center / background / phone dialler / kate voice assistant / new store and ....

To delete.

G4 Root (Testing)

This is a test root method for the G4. It is based off of the original root method for rooting LG devices. The original method showed modified in the boot loader but it didn't have su. This a modified script to push su correctly and the su used by the H815.
Note: On the H815 If you would like root all you have to do is unlock boot loader, flash twrp for G4 then flash the supersu.zip
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a new method that i discovered. Instead of rooting we are just going to flash TWRP then we can root through the recovery. I have tested this on my G3 and i can confirm that you are able to flash recoveries through download mode.
The Recovery used in this is TWRP for H815 and I am not sure of how compatible it is with other variants but if it gives you root then its worth testing.

Rename it recovery.img (you might have to delete or rename the one that was extracted from the zip earlier because the can only be one recovery.img in a folder )
then rinse and repeat all the steps

I've got a Verizon version coming tomorrow. Can't wait to give this a try. Thanks.
Edit - Just tried to download the root zip, and I got a message that it's infected with a virus.

This is the error we get when attempting to download it:
Code:
Sorry, this file is infected with a virus
Only the owner is allowed to download infected files.
EDIT: See my post below for a copy of the ZIP

i think i found a way will upload it later

Does anyone tried this method on the T-Mobile G4 H811?

I was able to use a web-based ZIP extractor to extract then compress it. I have done no scanning for viruses, I simply extracted and repackaged the files.

I think I am unlock is only for unlocking the boot loader not rooting

So I tried this on the H811 (T-Mobile) version.
Everything worked just as described UNTIL the part where I needed to run the root script.
After I paste the SH command, it thinks for a moment, and returns me to the # line...
Not sure how to continue from here, but will be happy to be a guinea pig if someone can tell me what to try.

Same result . Nothing happens ?
this is my input : sh /data/local/tmp/root_g4.sh/data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox
it stays on # nothing more?!

looks like device is not attaching when connected to download mode even if adb.exe devices is executed
