[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!

I can't transfer files from pc to phone (just inside the folders)

Hi! i did a root with motochopper..and after it when i wanted to transfer a file from pc to a folder of the s 4 i saw a message like this the device stop responding or is disconnected...but when i transfer a file outside the folders i can and its all ok.So i did a reset and i installed the original german firmware that there is on net but after the reset and after i installed this firmware....i cant still transfer files inside the galaxy s 4 folders..but outside them i can.So i guess, is not the root? is a characteristic of the s 4? if not how can i solve this..i have windows 7.
Edit i rooted the phone with another method found on net..now i can put a file in many folder but not in the obb folder..why?
not entirely sure why it is like that. but the easiest fix is to move the file you want to put into obb somewhere else on your phone and then use a root explorer on your device to move it into obb.

System Wallpaper

System Wallpaper for 4.2.2 Samsung S4 resides in its own APK file located at /system/app/SecWallpperChooser.apk
I rooted my Canadian (Koodo) S4 with Mottochopper No problems all went smoothly I replaced the SuperUser that mottochopper installed with SuperSu just a personal preference then I installed root explorer and began a search for the wallpapers as I like to tinker and see what I can do. I located the apk in the directory I have lined out for you. I copied the file to my external SD card then copied it to my Computer. I have kept an original copy on my computer just in case things did not work out. I then opened the apk file with 7Zip and extracted the photos out of the folder ...SecWallpaperChooser.apk\res\drawable-sw359dp-xxhdpi\ I replaced the photos with my own exact same size and all then put back in loction on phone and voila they became my wallpaper gallery

[Q] Rename Misshaps, File can't be found.

I was cleaning up my SDcard and renaming some files in the process. during this, I forgot that "&" is a no-no when naming files (using Doobloo file manager) and try to rename a video using it.
the problem is that, since then, I can't find the file anywhere. I tried using ES explorer pro and plugging the device on a PC, but no go.
now, I know that the file is there, just unreacheable (adding a & to the name would not delete the file, right?). How can I find it and rename it properly (since it is probably just taking up space this way).
My Device is a Galaxy S4 from Vivo, Brazil (GT-I9505)

does this file works for all firmwares?
please clarify
Brilliant, thanks so much for this, worked like a charm. This worked for me going from Chinese 5.1.1 firmware (TL7-MT10C00B357) to European 5.1.1 firmware (MT7-TL10C900B311).

Hi Speedo.
I tried it myself, and I changed the oeminfo with no problems.
however i did not understand the instructions besides that.
could you post a little set of instructions?
PS: I made a tool to make changing oeminfo easier, it's in my other thread.

I'll try and summarise as best I can below by amending the original text below. As I said this worked for me going from the Chinese to European firmware versions I quoted above.
1. Open ES File Explorer (enabling root access by selecting Root Explorer)
2. Navigate to the folder ../dev/block/platform/hi-mci.0/by-name/
3. Copy the file "oeminfo" from this folder to your internal memory and rename it oeminfo.bak
4. Make a copy of this file (again onto your internal memory) and rename it oeminfo.img
5. Download oeminfo.rar onto your computer and extract the archive onto your harddrive
6. Copy the file oeminfo.img from your internal memory into the folder where the archive was extracted above
7. Run the file oeminfo.exe from the archive folder, in the dialogue box that opens change the text
8. To go from Chinese to EU change from "cmmcchannel/cn" to "hw/eu"
9. Exit the program and copy the file oeminfo.img from the archive folder back to the internal memory replacing the file that is there.
10. Rename the file in the internal memory from "oeminfo.img" to "oeminfo"
11. Copy this file (oeminfo) from the internal memory back to the folder ../dev/block/platform/hi-mci.0/by-name/ replacing the existing file
12. Using ES File Explorer, long tap on the file, select properties and then change the permissions to read and write for the owner only. This means if the file if viewed in detailed mode the permissions will look like "-rw-------"
13. Open the folder ../data and then open the file custom.bin with a text editor (if the file is not there then create it, the file was there for me). Edit the file so it is a single line of text with the local you want to go to (so me I changed the text in the file to read "hw/eu") and save the edit
14. Using ES File Explorer, long tap on the edited file, select properties and then change the permissions to read and write for the owner only. This means if the file if viewed in detailed mode the permissions will look like "-rw-------"
15. Open the folder ../system/ then open the file build.prop (with a text editor) and find the line ro.build.display.id = ??? (this was quite a long way down the file for me). Replace the text after the equals sign (where I have put the question marks) with the text from the first line of the file verlist.img (where this is extracted from the firmware you want to transfer to reading verlist.img with a text editor).
16. Copy the file UPDATE.APP from the firmware you are transferring to a folder called "dload" in the base directory of either your sdcard or internal memory.
17. Remove the SuperSu root using the option "Full unroot" from within the Setting tab of the SuperSu app
18. If you have a custom recovery installed, flash back to the stock recovery using fastboot
19. Shutdown the phone, disconnect any cables and restart it by holding down the power, volume up and volume down buttons. This should boot into the stock recovery and start the installed of the firmware placed on either the sdcard or the internal memory noting this will delete all data in the internal memory

Thanks James.
you switched to the same model firmware?
meaning TL10 ch to TL10 eu?
Yes, straight swap, with the version numbers as quoted above.

Thanks a lot speedojames for this very informative post. I followed your instructions and got this working in no time. The only difference was that I did not set the permission on oeminfo file, as ES File Explorer continued to give error on that. Rest was a breeze. Thanks again.
