Hi, i want to make a rom and use the keybord LatinIME as the default, how can i do that?
Thanks.
inside the ROM at /system/app
if it is a Sense ROM then the Sense keyboard will be there and it's called HTC_IME.apk
if it is a non-Sense ROM then the Latin_IME.apk keyboard will be there.
just switch them around
or just flash the LatinIME.apk and make it your default by long-pressing on an input box.

I'm using VillianROM 1.0 and I am loving it. But I can't get default keyboard to work, I have pushed LatinImeGoogle.apk and LatinImeTutorial.apk from LeeDroid ROM but it didn't work. I get force close as soon as I try to enable the KB. Any help?
Hi guys
I want to flash a custom rom. But I dont like the default launcher (launcher2.apk) can I replace it with Launcher Pro and can launcher pro still be updateble through the market.
I deleteled the launcher2.apk from /system/app folder and added the launcher pro.apk but after I flashed the rom I saw that the market doesn't recognize the installed luncherpro. So is it possible that I put the launcher apk file in a non-root folder inside the flashable rom zip file?
Another question I downloaded the "maps5.8.0 ownhere testkeyresign.apk" to be able to have navigation support in my country. Now should I put this file inside /system/app before I flash the custom rom or should I install it later? Whats better?
Just download launcher pro from market install it and then delete the other launcher and u should be fine

To answer your launcher question, try installing launcherpro from the market, and THEN deleting Launcher2.apk, that way you will only have launcherpro, which would also be updatable. You can use android commander to do so (requires android-sdk)
And to answer your maps query, it doesn't really matter, if you put the .apk in the ROM before installing you won't be able to uninstall it in the future as it will be classes as a "system app".. that's the only difference.
Thanks for the answers. Looks like the best way is to install the new launcher and maps after I flashed the rom

put your maps in the /system/app if want to use forever if not should be in /data/app folder if your custom rom has this feature so you can uninstall this later- read about /data/app feature also if your custom rom has root feature or you have a rooted phone it doesn't matter - you can delete this apk with Root Explorer by example
regarding launcher apk Market doesn't recognize this because is signed differently than the apk from Market -let us say I download from Market an apk and decompile it... to compile back and make that apk I will use own signature to accomplish this task so is that Market will say yeah ! a new app there because this is signed by me not original developer or can be signed in Eclipse with debug signature- also this signature is not ok

Yes. Just when u put the new launcher apk in system/app folder, remember to change permissions before u reboot.
Howcan I change the launcher before flashing rom (stock rom) ??
Hi this must be a noob question, but i need to know how to replace the default dialer .apk file and also the contacts .apk file to something else (exDialer and exContacts) in the ROM itself.
Try extracting the apks from the stock ROM and replace it. Report back.

Nope it didn't seem to work!
It said installation failed.
Just follow these steps...there is a chance they might not work but you are free to try it
1.Install the dialer app(dont move it to sd card)
2.Use a file manager app with root permissions enabled(eg- ES File Explorer) and go to the "phone memory" then "data/app" copy the app's apk to the sd card
3.Now uninstall the app ....the install was for getting the apk file
4.Rename the backed up apk as "Phone.apk" (case-sensitive)
5.Backup your CM7 dialer by going into phone memory "system/app"....it will be named "Phone.apk".....back it up somewhere in the SD card
6.Now just take the apk of the dialer you wanted and copy it in phone memory "system/app"
7.Finally change the permissions of the apk as follows
--->In ES File Explorer,after moving your desired dialer's apk,long press for menu
--->Then select Properties
--->In the properties window there will be a button labelled "Change" just beside permissions
--->Then Select the 1st two check boxes in User,1st in group and 1st in other and press ok
8.Reboot the phone and pray to God it works
9.To revert back,just put the original "Phone.apk" in "system/app" and reboot

What happens?

You're not supposed to remove the default dialler app. It's a part of the system framework and the results when you do try to remove it will be severe. I believe that the phone aspect of Android is integrated into the default dialer apk (Both in sense and in AOSP).
In any case, there is no need to remove the dialler apk.You just install an alternate dialler and set that as default. It's works as if the original dialler was never there.
You cannot bring over the sense dialler though since that depends on the entire sense framework.
Just install exDialer and set it as default.
You can push it to /system/app if you would like. Leave the original one as it though.

As soon as I replace the Phone.apk, it force closes to the homescreen. After I try restarting the device, it refuses to get past the Boot Screen Animation.

So you're saying there is no way I can natively replace the dialer to the exDialer in the Rom itself?
FYI: The Rom concerned here is HCMIUI 3.2 by Henry. Brilliant Rom otherwise!
Exactly, the default dialler cannot be replaced except perhaps by a full replacement say from the original cm7 rom or a themed version of your current dialler. You can only add a secondary dialler which will work in addition to the original one.
Check out the apk for the original Phone.apk
You'll find the components of the in-call screen.
cm7 themes for example retheme the framework which applies some modifications to the original in call screen.

^ How do i do that? Actually this is exactly what i want to do, a full replacement!
You can probably take the Phone.apk and replace your current one with (Make sure you set the permissions to 644) but it really won't make much of a difference. Instead, just install the cm7 Theme Chooser and change your theme. HC MIUI is basically a themed cm7 rom with a MIUI flavor, MIUI apps and stellar animation effects!
Would love to get those on other ROMS!
There's actually a fuller MIUI (gb) but it's only on beta (There are some usability issues in which the colours in some apps are FUBAR) and the MIUI 4 (ics) is only on alpha... On my phone, the Phone crashed on making a calling the MIUI 4...
Well i guess this is not possible the way i thought i would!
maybe someone can make a patch or something that will do this( maybe for other default apps also) just a thought?!

Hi!
I have installed JJ's ICS Rom and the Xperia keyboard add-on but the option to activate voice input is greyed out even after I installed Google Voice. I tried to reflash the keyboard add-on but it didn't change anything. Any clue ?
Thanks.
Solved: The Google Voice App from the market was not good, I took one in another rom where it was a system app, pushed it as a system app and added it's library (voicesearch.so) to system/lib. I changed the permissions just in case to rw- r-- r-- and it works now.
Hi all. Here is the dictionary files for Android stock AOSP keyboard. Spell check and auto correction is working.
Why I'm using AOSP keyboard:
Because, AOSP keyboard uses less RAM than Google Keyboard with same functionality.
To install (for arco's 20140311 CM11 build) unzip the files and go to aosp keyboard settings and select "import dictionary file". That's it.

Awesome, I got this working on my I9000 running SlimBean rom. Tried to get the Dutch dictionary to work for ages... I used User Dictionary Manager to add words to my 'own dictionary' some time ago, but now I finally got Spell Checker, Auto Correction and Swype working for my language (Dutch) !!!!
Used Root Browser and did put the main_nl.dict file in data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin/files/dicts/*name of language folder* rebooted phone and done!
Again thnx
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with CM11. I put the main_nl.dict file on my sdcard in the folder /Downloads than I go to settings --> aosp keyboard settings --> click on import dictionaire and I click on yes for import the dutch dictionaire. Then I go to data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin/files/dicts/nl and there is a file called main%00003anl. Is this the right way to get it working or I have to put the main_nl.dict file in the data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin/files/dicts/nl folder like JustMyNick says? Big thanks.
