Swype files for XXJPK (swedish input)

(To Forum Admins: I've posted the very same thing this morning but it disappeared -- presumbably because of the DB crash. Sorry if this wasn't the case and/or this was better placed in the General Forum)
Hello all,
I need a bit of help
I've flashed and rooted the XXJPK as in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790686
The problem I have is that after I rooted the phone I've done a not-so-smart thing
Without even thinking I replaced the "/system/app/Swype.apk" and "/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so" with the multi-language files from JP1 (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7412595&postcount=73)
To my unpleasant surprise now Swype crashes
Goes without saying that -- in good old hacking tradition -- I didn't backup the original files first
So, the cry for help is:
1) Can some kind soul post the original (above two) Swype files in the XXJPK so at least I have a functioning Swype (even if it doesn't have the swedish language....)
2) Even better -- if a fellow swede (or scandinavian... ) that managed to get the swedish input in Swype in XXJPK, can you please post the files (apk / library) you are using ?
Thanks a bunch in advance for the help !!!

Moving on....
I've managed to find a Swype WVGA version with support for the swedish language (google: Swype WVGA svenska)
I removed the previous existing Swype-relevant files:
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/app/Swype.opex
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
After a reboot I managed to installed the .apk version above.
The showstopper now is that I cannot switch to this input method: When I hold on a text entry field and selecting "Input Method" only "Samsung Keyboard" shows up (but no Swype)
Any input ?
(And applogies to the forum admins as this become off-topic for ROM development -- however, the fact that "Swype" is missing from "input method" should be vaguley relevant . Thanks for understanding)

I use the the JP1 file. You find the link to download on Swedroid. Its in the Galaxy S forum.Some thread about Q&A. Good Luck
It worked for me with JPK several times

I found the answer in the mean time (posting here for the record):
Under: Settings -> Locale and text activate Swype; change the settings as desired (language, etc).
Switch to Swype via the "Input Method" radio button selection when inputing text (tap and hold on a text input box).
Hope this will help others as well

Well this guy, DocRambone, most surdenly knows how to do it. Cause he did in his modded ROM, the superlite version. I just checked Swype settings again and it has swedish, danish, norway, uk, us etc. - all the languages are there.
Try out his ROM - so far it's working really perfect

Do I need to check the "re-partition"-box in Odin when flashing this modded rom?

Can somebody please upload the file /system/app/Swype.odex from JM4 or JM6 ROM ?

I got official Arabic support for Desire, how can i help ?

Hello all,
i joined this forum to help me decide which mobile to buy and i bought in the end the awesome Desire.
I am from Egypt so i bought it from there , it was released here on second of October.
it has built-in Arabic support in text input window, it doesn't show in the normal keyboard input screen but to activate Arabic language i need to do the following which i got in a reply from htc support here in Egypt
Hold & long press at any empty space of text input box, you will see a message to change input keyboard.
Select the other input method & press ok.
You will see the Arabic keyboard.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i want to help in making Android more popular, in the middle east, and since Google refuse to release official support for Arabic, i guess the only way i can do that by offering my mobile to you to see if we can extract the Arabic support plugin/software and be able to install it on any android based mobile.
i used to be a power user in Symbian but now i am a newbie in android so anyone interested in helping me ?
the android version is 2.1, they told me 2.2 will be available next month through OTA.
Regards,
Ahmad

Salam Ahmad,
Sorry to bust your bubble bro....
But I have already rooted that ROM (leaked) and added A2SD+ 2 months ago
check it out

Froyo with Arabic support would be a great plus!

Nice job
But what i want is to be able to extract the Arabic addon and be able to add it to any other ROM
like for example i want very much to instal the Desire HD Rom on my Desire but i will be missing the arabic support
So i am looking for help to extract the arabic support addon and be able to install it freely
is this even possible ?

Hi
Maybe you should be in contact with this guy (Ayman): http://ardoid.com/?p=41
He added Arabic support to Froyo (but of course with some bugs), maybe you could help.

the android version is 2.1, they told me 2.2 will be available next month through OTA.
Sorry, can't help you with the keyboard, but am very happy to hear that we will finally be getting Froyo - in November???
HTC would not give me a date when I asked!
Salaam.

Guys i found the arabic support intalled inside the Application Manager ad it is named "Arabic Keyboard" and it is version 2
is it possible by any mean to extract the apllication to be able to install it on any other HTC or even Android mobile ??

Look for the .apk under system/app/ and data/app/, it will be there. Then pull it using adb when you're in Recovery. I can try and push that apk on mine and see if it works.
Arabic support should entail more than that though but a keyboard that even just writes would be very helpful to me too.

sorry but i am still a newbie regadring android
Can you please tell me what is adb and how to enter recovery ???

Hi,
You can get the .apk file with easy way. Install Androzip from the market, open it, it will show directly the files on SD card. Press the arrow up in the menu to leave SD card and navigate to system files. Open system folder : System -->> app -->> here you have all .apk files
Hold & long press on the .apk file you want, -->> copy, you can see now 2 new options in the menu, cancel and copy here.
Go now to home in the menu and you can paste it in ur sd card -->> copy here.
thats all you have the .apk file on your SD card.
good luck.

Unfortunately i can't find it in this folder
i found HTC_IME which i understand is the interface for the touch keyboard made by htc, can this be the one we need ??? its size is 4.2 MB

using "Android System Info" i found the name of the Arabic Keyboard software.
com.parfield.inputmethod.arabic
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but still can't find it inside /system/app
any suggestions ?

Like mentioned, look in system/app/ and data/app/. The name might be different.

[FIX] Capacitive buttons, keylayout, and CAPITALIZED Scandis!

Hey everyone!
Didn't find thread anywhere about this (just a lot of mentions in other threads).
Problem is:
Any exotic DZ (Asian and Scandinavian reported) does not work properly without Sense.
Capacitive buttons vibrate normally when pressed but no action whatsoever. (not in the apps neither in launcher).
ROM's reported to have this problem (as far as I know):
HTC Vision stock (by Modaco) (I can confirm)
CM RC 6.1
And generally speaking any ROM without sense.
Could we gather all these problems here, with mention what version of DZ and which ROM?
Also if someone knows a way to get them working it would be appreciated to post it here so everyone would know.
UPDATE:
with more research I found this in VillainROM topic:
redglasses designed some help:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z13DE4QE
(link contains update-vision-keypad-for-desirez.zip)
LINK to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9353194#post9353194
(says that it is designed to work with CM)
Any one know more, does this work with any ROM?
UPDATE1:
The update-vision-keypad-for-desirez-signed.zip is compatible with any ROM! (thanks to redglasse for it)
This came to be pretty obvious after opening it and checking what it does
So just flash it after your new rom.
UPDATE2:
It really does not have anything to do with Sense. Only that the right keymap and keychar files are only shipped in roms with Sense!
(Asia and special European countries get only Sense versions)
Link to files pulled from Finnish (Scandinavian keymap) DZ:
DO NOT FLASH THE FILE BELOW, IT IS NOT IN FLASHABLE FORMAT!
http://www.filedropper.com/keyfilesfromscandidz
(I think that Redglasses is missing some keymaps, so every one of them is in the link above)
UPDATE 3
Seems to me that there is still problem that special Scandinavian characters type as CAPITALIZED every time. Is there any one out there that has some knowledge about them?
With Hexedit I can't locate the chars at keychar files. But in keylayout files they are named as func_number. So I presume that even when they are binded as some special characters they still work via some functions? Could anyone look into this or have some knowledge where those functions are?
UPDATE 4
Hey all!
HOW TO FIX YOUR CAP BUTTONS AND KEYLAYOUTS + CAPITALIZED SCANDIS!!!
In theory should work in every ROM.
1. Perform NANDROID backup! (I'm not responsible for any damaged devices etc blah blah...)
2. Download this fix from redglasses http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z13DE4QE
3. Apply it from clockwork recovery
4. If you have capitalized Scandinavian keys!!! Download this file modded by me:
http://www.filedropper.com/vision-keypad-norkcm
5. Connect your device with usb debugging on
6. type this to cmd prompt:
Code:
adb remount
adb push \(PATH TO DOWNLOADED FILE HERE) /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-nor.kcm.bin
7. reboot your device to remount system as it should be
8. profit
Thanks to Redglasses for the original fix, I would appreciate if someone backed my fixed vision-keypad-nor.kcm.bin into his update.zip
****LINK FIXED!

If the buttons vibrate, they are being picked up.
Can you do an 'adb logcat' and show what it says.
This should help the devs. And give me something to read.
All you need to do is plug your phone in, open a command prompt (have adb working) and type 'adb logcat'. Press a button, wait for a reaction and press CTRL-C (on the PC). Copy / Paste the log into a post. The shorter the better.
EDIT - that zip could be flashed on any ROM. Make a nandroid first though.

I guess that there is no need for logcat. Just that the roms missed the files in ZIP. Keymap and Keychar files in fact. I could post all of them somewhere (zip seemed to miss one or two keymaps).
This is just a bit specific issue, to my knowledge this is 2nd QWERTY Android phone getting worldwide attention, so community is not aware of the fact that all the roms need bit of a "compatibility" to include every phone.
So I got it working with that ZIP and G2 rom. (almost)
I just left wondering when the device chooses the keymap and keychar to use? Is it on the first boot up after the flash or every boot up? So if I make any changes are they applied in every boot up?
Anyways these should be bakes in to ROMS.
And why I said that it works almost is that my Å Ö Ä buttons always type with CAPITALS. No matter if i press shift or no. And I still can chose the special letters from a or o with long press and touchscreen. So is it problem with these files or somewhere else?
I'll upload my own files pushed from Scandinavian DZ when I find some free host
So in this link U can find the files pulled from my own DZ sense rom before any hassle:

I only have this problem when I run Cyanogenmod. LauncherPro+ works nicely on Sense ROMs. I'm guessing it's some keyboard layout thing that is different.
Sendt with a HW Keyboard from my Desire Z, woop!
Click to expand...

As I stated in the update it is due the versions of the roms, not really the sense itself. (the ROMs that include every keymap also include Sense )

TheDeadCpu said:
Well, I'm guessing (aka not sure) that taking the Scandinavian/UK keymap files and using them in the ROM would solve it.
Click to expand...

Instead of Scandinavian/UK just put every one of the files. They are 1Kb each and in total like 22Kb. See previous posts for a link to d/l my files
Yeah, seems to me that would be the case. (I'm almost 100% sure about that) Just make everyone use them!!!!
And make a guide/wiki article or something to be found via google by noobs like me

I tried flashing this with CM7 build6, yet my buttons do not work even after doing this. This is on Gingerbread. Should I try flashing again?

Same problem as you ilifin. Flashed, but when pushing the capacative buttons the phone doesnt even vibrate.

All works for me if I mount /system in clockwork recovery before installing this patch. Some kind guy told that in one of parallel threads

Mounting /system in recovery before patching solved it. Thanks a bunch!

Does someone still have the fix as a zip? The megaupload no longer works and I desperately need it. Pretty Please?

[Q] Problems with Hardware Keyboard

I have some problems with not being able to change the language for text prediction when i use my Hardware Keyboard. I have asked 4 times in the thread for my ROM (located at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067371 ) Without getting any answer..
i have no problems with my software keyboard at all, i can change between swedish and english language and it works perfectly, but when i try to change to swedish when i use my hardware keyboard i don't have any other language in the list than english..
Can anyone please help me? I have tried several things without any luck.
Thanks!

Hi, I just checked and the issue is there for me as well on a stock DZ (Slovakia). I tried changing the locale of the phone but no difference..
I guess the only thing you can do is to ask HTC..

A friend of mine root my G2 with Gingerbread. It is working great but I realize that some keys from the keyboard are not working. Example: The letter E send me to the e-mails, P to Music, S doesnt work, L send me to Calendar, C to Contacts, ect. How can I fix this issue?

No i don't think HTC can or will help me with the issue, besides that i made a backup and tried another ROM yesterday and there was no problems at all.. (just to be clear: i went back to the ROM i have the keyboard issues with after that, just because i like the ROM)
i guess it's up to the developer of the ROM to make it work, but when you ask in the thread 4 times without even getting an answer you get tired and start asking others for help

i got keychar files from another rom, does anyoen know how to install them? tried with adding them to an Update.zip but cwm aborted the installation, i guess i need some sort of install script?

[Q] xperia x1 abdroid rom on diamond

hey guys, i wanna know if it's possible to install this android rom on our diamond
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288765
it's an android rom for the x1...by using the cwm rcovery method available on the neopeek page..
i just wanna know if it's possible n have any of use tried it...~
thanks in advance...^_^

I'll try and let you know

hi
did you had time to try?

Hi RootShadowLT.
It works on my Touch Pro, but the screen is upside down but the movement and stylus are not.
I think they cooked in X1 drivers because the X1 hardware faces upside down in Android compared to the HTC devices..
I can't correct it. I tried to change startup.txt and kernel, but no succes.

Simply use libsurfaceflinger.so from a non x1 rom
Place it in /system/lib

Doesn't work. Already tried that. I managed to start another X1 rom with a normal screen doing the following actions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18498923&postcount=211
It might work on a Diamond too if you alter the startup.txt to a diamond version.
It might work on this X1 version too.

When I had a diamond,this worked flawlessly,now for the opposite works too

I might have used a wrong libsurfaceflinger.so. Can you post a right one that worked for you?

Now I have an x1,so all the ones i have are for x1,sorry can't help you..

hi guys.>~thanks for the reply..(n testing the rom itself HTC0017, honestly, i was surprised u tried it urself to make sure)
i'll try it for myself n see how it will play for me...

I tried version 4 and it worked.
1 Take npkboot-cwm19.zip and unzip in storage card\npkboot
2 Put attached kernel files in npkboot
4 Put ARCDroid GAPPS.zip + ARCDroid V4.zip in npkboot
3 modify my startup from Touch Pro to Diamond or copy your own working startup.txt and calibration file.
4 IMPORTANT: Delete line ro.sf.hwrotation=180 from build.prop (ARCDroid V4.zip:\system) to prevent upside down screen
5 Run Haret - volume down for CWM recovery - whipe data - install zip from SD - and follow install procedure from the ARCDROID thread.
issues:
Camera not working
Context menu not perfect

Sensedroid 8 from X1 thread works the same way.
Context menu and camera works fine with my Touch Pro.
For now only Wifi/wireless tether does not work with this rom.

THANKS~~!!!
it worked for me..~!
first time i booted it..yea the same upside down screen..but then i tried ur method just now n it worked like charm..thanks a lotz~
OMG~! this rom is very2 cool.. i loves the menu n ui..although a little bit slow on diamond...(TT_TT).....i'll try more into the rom n see what else will do...thanks man..
