[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!

[Q] Lockscreen not working after modification.

Hi,
I have a Defy and I am running MIUI 2.4.13 on it.
I was trying to modify certain part of the V4 lockscreen and after i was done when i tried to import this modified lockscreen to the themes it simply wont show up anywhere.
Here are the steps that i followed to do the required changes:
1. Renamed (changed extension) of the lockscreen file from .mtz to .zip
2. Extracted the contents to a folder.
3. Renamed the lockscreen file to lockscreen.zip
4. Extracted the contents of lockscreen file to a folder (folders name was lockscreen)
5. Deleted the lockscreen.zip file
6. Changed the images as required with appropriate ones (images were exactly the same except for the color of images)
7. Compressed the contents of lockscreen folder to a zip file and renamed it to "lockscreen"
8. Again compressed the contents of the parent folder to a file and renamed it to "xxxxxxx.mtz"
And then finally when i tried to use this file, nothing showed up in the themes area. I dont see my lockscreen over there.
I tried doing the above using winzip, winrar and even 7zip. Nothing works.
I just want to know whats going wrong.
Thank you.

Could it be some permission issue?

I wonder

(Tips & Trick) change graphic quality in Real Racing 3 v2.0.0

Sorry for my bad english..
I found this trick my self 2 day after v2.0.0 out, and decide to share it to you all..
Since v1.2.0 i'm not update my RR3 until v2.0.0 release, because Veneno come to this great game..
And i found eds trick not working in this version, why ? Well, my research v2.0.0 using eds file in "apk" folder, but it will using eds in ".depot" folder too if eds file not found in "apk" folder, you can find "apk" folder under ".depot" folder, right ?
Now you will think we simply replace modded eds in that "apk" folder, thats wont work because all file in "apk" folder will overwrited by RR3 every we launch the game, and our modded eds will overwrited too, why ? Again..
I think it like ramdisk in android 4.3, ex: kernel overwrite vold sdcard mount point in fstab file, thats why we using build.prop to swap that mount point and not edit the fstab file because it will overwrited every boot, just like this RR3 v2.0.0, correct me if wrong, which "apk" folder generated automaticaly by RR3 every run the game..
So lets begin this trick..
You will need :
Computer with 7Zip app
ZipSigner app in your Android, you can download ZipSigner on PlaySTORE
got it guys ? Let's work..
1. First i recommended you backup your RR3 data, all in com.ea.games.r3_row or _na folder and RR3 apk too, So if something goes wrong you can restore it..
2. Find your RR3 v2.0.0.apk file
3. Open it as ZIP using 7Zip, go to res\raw and open "res.zip" file
4. In "res.zip" go to res\ and copy that eds folder, you will need that original eds folder later, thats why we should copy it..
5. In "res.zip" go to res\eds and delete all 25 plist file in that folder, done ?
6. Now go back to previous folder step up by step up by pressing backspace key in your keyboard until you get notification [ File "res.zip" was modified. Do you want to update it in the archive ? ] press OK button and close 7Zip, got it guys ?
7. Now transfer that modified RR3 apk and the copied original eds folder we copy in step 4 to phone
8. Use ZipSigner to sign that modified RR3 apk otherwise you can't instal it..
9. In ZipSigner press Choose in/out and find that modded apk, found ? Click it, make sure Key/mode is auto-testkey, now press Sign The File in the bottom.. Your signed apk will named as -signed inside that original apk file..
10. Because signature changed if you have RR3 installed on phone you will get "Aplication not installed" if install the modified apk.. So first rename com.ea.games.r3_row or _na folder to "rr3" or something different than original com.ea.games.r3_row or _na name, done ?
11. Now uninstall your RR3 app from phone, dont worry your RR3 data will not deleted if you rename com.ea.games.r3_row or _na folder to other name like i said in step 10, Uninstalled ?
12. Now rename back your com.ea folder to original name "com.ea.games.r3_row or _na.. Got it ?
13. Finally install your modified RR3 -signed apk, Done..
Now you can place original eds folder we copy in step 4 to com.ea.games.r3_row or _na/.depot folder which it can easily changed using RR3 Graphics in PlaySTORE
Run RR3 Graphics and choose your graphic quality, low. mid. high. or xtrahigh. whatever you want..
Last, i found RR3 Graphics v1.0.14 not clone AndroidMid2.plist file, only 24 file cloned, so if your phone using AndroidMid2.plist file maybe game wont run, so we have to clone AndroidMid2.plist manualy.. simply duplicate AndroidMid.plist in /.depot/eds folder and rename it to AndroidMid2.plist, and you will have all 25 file cloned in /.depot/eds from eds_backup folder (found when we use RR3 Graphics) which contain original plist file..
Thats all guys, enjoy..

Snapdragon Camera V2 on N6P/N5X?

Has anybody figured out a way to install Snapdragon Camera on new nexus devices?
I have tried flashing the zip file as well as manually placing require .apk and .so files but it doesn't work. Camera app crashes as soon as it launches.

(using ES file explorer)
1. extract the zip to sd card somewhere
2. under "system/priv-app" > create a folder called "SnapdragonCamera"
3. give the folder "drwxr-xr-x" permissions
4. copy "SnapdragonCamera2.apk" to that folder and give it "-rw-r--r--" permissions
5. Create "lib" folder to "SnapdragonCamera" folder and give it the same permissions as the parent folder has ("drwxr-xr-x")
6. inside the "lib" folder make "arm" folder (give it the same "drwxr-xr-x" permissions)
7. inside that "arm" folder paste two ".so" files - give them "-rw-r--r--" permissions
8. reboot

Did you actually try these steps and camera worked for you?
I had already tried both flashing the zip file and manually placing .apk and ..so files ... but camera crashes.

Same here. Moved to CM13 over the weekend hoping it would work. Tried packages from all over the place, flashable, manual install, whatever, none worked.

Just found out about this camera and was hoping to test it out since the features look great, then I came across this topic and was disappointed. Surprised no one has put this together for this phone yet. Really I'd like to know why Qualcomm doesn't release and maintain this themselves though.

Any new discoveries by any chance? Would love to have it on my angler.

Would be great for my bullhead.
