i was using Eternal Prophecy rom for first time yesterday just to get a look into it and i loved the keyboard for it but i switched back to warm z at the moment and thinking that keyboard from EP would go great with myn's work.
what i wanna know is that can you take keyboards from any rom and make them usable to the one im using currently?
Like i said i want the EP Keyboard on Warm Z.
i tried extracting the files and i think i found the keyboard file but i believe it was a bin file and i renamed it to .apk to possibly pull it up from root explorer but that was a no go. i didn't bother changing it to a .zip file because i didn't even think that this was possible to do
Thanks
WINNING!

You can extract the keyboard from ROM "A" and put it in ROM "B" but you also got the extract the lib file that goes along with the keyboard.
Take for example the Swype keyboard. Alot of people think that all they need is the apk and that's it....WRONG!!...hahaha...you need the libSwypeCore.so file to make it work, if not you'll get FCs left and right and you'll properly get a couple of grey hairs trying to figure out what's wrong
Oh just FYI, the lib file goes in system/lib and as you may already know you got to install the keyboard in system not just a regular install.......GOOD LUCK DUDE!!

the force is strong with you my friend.
Is there a thread or Video on how to do this. this going to be my first time ever diving into lib files and extracting stuff.
I'm a virgin
i pushed the lib and keyboard files to the right folders but im getting FC everytime i click a button

What keyboard are you trying to use? I don't flash sense roms so I never seen the keyboard on Warm Z.
There are other factors that you may have to take under consideration like the regular LatinIME.apk in Sense 2.2 (the one with arrows on the bottom of it) can't be used in AOSP roms (don't know why but you can't...lol).
Another thing that might be causing the FCs is permissions. Did you set the correct permissions for the APK and the LIB file? I generally use rw-r-r- for APKs and LIBs when pushing them to the system folder.
Let me know what keyboard you're trying to install and what rom you're trying to install it on and I'll try my best to make you a video or at least a step by step guide with pictures.......

Hey I'm currently running the CyanogenMod-6.0.0-Slide-RC1 on my mytouch slide and was making attempts trying to install some stock apk files. From another thread (which I shall not mention just so the thread stays open) I was able to download the stock apk/odex files for the faves and friends widgets and the mt3gs swype (in my opinion the best working/looking version of swype out there that I've tried at least...).
The apk/odex files are saved onto my sdcard, in my downloads folder. I'm not sure if I'd actually need to rewrite some code or something to get the stock stuff to run on CM6. Any light anyone could shed on the subject for me would be GREATLY appreciated!
First, most of the HTC widgets will only run on a rom with sense, which CM6 is not. Second, I don't believe CM6 is an odexed rom (I haven't used it, so someone correct me if i'm wrong), so you can not use the apk/odex files from the stock build. Third, this post would be for Q&A not development.

Okay, well as you can tell, I'm obviously a noob when it comes to programming as well as this forum..so thanks for the heads up.
And thanks for the info about HTC widgets only running on sense, that really helped out a bunch.
If you want to add or remove system apps try this:
1 Get 7zip
2 open CM6 with 7zip
3 Navigate to /system/app folder with 7zip
4 Add or remove apk's you want,thats it you are done
Odex files are not required for 90% of apps in CM6
Hope this helps,i have made a barebones(minimal) rom-its posted on here,all you need to do is add your own apk's to it.Or just make your own rom,but adding google apps to a rom requires adding few more files to /lib and /xlib folders,if you new to android try my barebones rom it will save you few headaches adding google apps.

BLEH.
I had trouble running the command line .zip version of 7-zip. I've extracted the files from the zip and try to run the program but it open and closes right back up. I've tried reinstalling and what not but it still doesn't work...I'm running Vista 32 bit if that helps at all.
Thanks again!
Oh, and here's the link to the stock stuff for the MT3GS, enjoy! (I do not take credit for any of the work put into the linked thread, I'm just passing along some great stuff!!!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729529&highlight=stock+apk
EDIT: I'm dumb and figured out how to use the 7-zip program. Super stoked...I hope my mods work.
Bleh, I tried putting the stock myfaves, friends, and skype .apk and .odex files into the apps folder and made my own custom rom...installed everything fine and then I looked through my apps and widgets to see if I could use it aaaaaand. They're nowhere to be found. Great. =/
So again i'm stuck without the slightest idea what to do next. Thanks in advance for the help!
I followed all the steps to the letter. Went into Root Explorer and found the swype apk in data/app. Held it down and moved it to system/app. Renamed it by taking out the 1. Rebooted.
Went into metamorph and extracted the theme. When I go to apply, it says .com.android.swype-1.apk can not be found in target data/app/
2 things:
Why is it looking in there? I moved it out of there
I renamed it so why is it looking for that old file name?
It also said the sub theme was put into data/app.
I'm stuck. I even tested it out by renaming it to what it wanted and put it back to where it was looking and nothing at all.
Any help? I'd really like to have the all black swype instead of the gray. Goes with my theme. I even watched the Youtube video and am doing everything he is.

Un-install swype, reboot, install, reboot. Then try to metamorph it without moving it. Same thing happened to me.

On the post with those instructions, there is a fixed version of the theme. Download it & follow instructions again.

Yeah, I'm having a problem with this as well. I followed the instructions, but when I go into MetaMorph to update the theme, an error pops up that says, "The theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could not be read and may be missing." Any ideas?
If you use warm 2.2 either donate to get the RLS5 beta, or wait a few days to get the final. Either way RLS5 has themed swype built in.

Hmmmmm. I may do that but I really want it now, lol. I can be impatient like that. Id this new fix gives me issues, I will wait for Rls 5. Is it dropping this week?
Well that new zip did work.
But everytime I install Swype, move it to the system/app folder and reboot, it's not there for use when I get back.
I guess I'll just wait for Rls 5 to include it. I've been trying this since yesterday.

I'm also having a similar problem. I first move the inputmethod.apk from /data/apps to /system/apps, reboot my phone, then apply the update through metamorph, reboot my phone again. Then the phone loads up, it says swype doesn't exist. Any suggestions?
Just upgrade to RLS5. Now that Swype is on the official Sprint ROM, it can be included in custom ROMs. RLS5 is a good upgrade, and it will have the themed Swype already there.
I was courious if there is a way to add the swype files to a rom before i install it.
I extracted the swype.apk and libswypecore.so from the stockl rom and put those in the correct spots.
It will install and show up without forcecloseing.
It will even go as far as show me the tutorial. and the trace line actually shows up. but the letters dont show up.
just got as far as being able to trace my keyboard.
I did install the beta and that works fine. but i want to make a couple of roms with it already on there to go back and fourth from.

I've tried editing the apk through apkmanager and apktool, both on a PC and mac, with no success, so I'm asking someone to do this task for me.
I have already found the correct emoji.png files, and I've put them into a folder which I am going to attach to this post. All I need [you] to do is put them into /res/drawable-xhdpi through reengineering (apkmanager/apktool)
Thanks to anyone who can do this! (I'm on the 10/5 nightly of CM10 w/ franco.kernel if that makes a difference)

Not sure which version of the phone you have but this MMS has the emoji support http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745830 if you have the GSM model like me you can use the ICS version of his app (unfortunately I couldn't seem to find it just now) I believe there is a stock version of the ICS mms but I won't swear on it. The mms.apk doesn't replace the green androids that you would normally make it gives you the emoji's separatly. Even has a quick support button to get to them fast. Hope this helps you
I found this thread googling for the exact same thing. I can't stand the green emoji and after reading a few threads I finally decided to just try doing it myself. Turns out it was incredibly easy. Here is the latest mms (11/10) pulled from justunbean's inverted apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797292) with the hideous green emoji replaced with the stock iphone-ish ones. Here is the apk and also a cwm flashable zip of it.
You shouldn't need to use apk manager or apk tool for images just open the apk put the images where they go and make sure they are named correctly.

Wow. Very nice. But I really hate the inverted MMS (to each his own), and you said it was very simple to do, but I spent 1-2 hours on it and could not get it to work properly, so do you think you could do the same with the stock MMS.

Here you go..takes about 3 seconds now that I figured out what to do. For anyone curious you just right click the .apk and open it with 7zip, browse to \res\drawable-xhdpi\ and select all of the files that start with emoji_ and delete them then just drag the ones you want in. The ones I used were from an older apk so all the names were the same, just extract the good ones and drop them into the apk with 7zip.

You can't simply install system apps. Try placing it in system/app, making sure it's named correctly (and that the old one is named something different or deleted), setting permissions to rw-r-r, and rebooting. If that doesn't work, there's probably some ROM incompatibility.

Not sure how mine worked then.
What my process was:
1. Download nightly build of CM10 (same version as one running on my phone)
2. Extract .zip file of CM10 rom, and find MMS.apk
3. Using APK Manager, extract apk file.
4. Replace emoji files in drawable-xhdpi as needed.
5. Zip apk using apk manager (now have unsigned-mms.apk)
6. Using this tool I signed the apk file.
7. Use bluetooth and send "unsigned-mms-signed.apk" to phone.
8. Install app from solid explorer.
9. Insert emojis as needed.

I'm not sure how I would do this, because I think you need to add some things to the arrays.xml, because when I looked there the code had something along the lines that was
If character=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, then emoji=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
or something like that
I'm not sure where I would find those values for the iOS6 emoji, but if someone knows how to do this, I will gladly go through the handcent emoji extension and find all the new iOS6 emoji for you and give them to you in a .zip.
I'm another dude that hates those green little creatures...I wanted some normal smileys , the basic ones not the extra emojis, and none of the apk in this thread did it for me...so I made one: it is stock with the green smileys replaced with the HTC ones ,the ones used in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40647802#post40647802 .

If anyone braver than me wants to give it a try i still have the mms.apk i had on my OG. Or possibly root, install tb and then freeze stock/restore backup of mms.apk? If anyone has done this already then awesome, if not maybe ill do it this weekend (became a bit of a flash-o-holic with my OG so i cant wait for someone to tear into this and get some nice roms loaded

You can install the MMS.apk as a user app and not a system app. Makes it quite a bit less risky. If it causes problems you can just uninstall it.
whenever i try to install it it keeps saying its a system app and then fails cuz it says there is an app with a conflicting signature. is there a special way to install it as a user app instead of system or does it all depend on the apk?
I was messing around with this the day after I first got mine. Since they have the same signature, you can't install both at the same time. The only way that I would suggest doing this safely is to be rooted, set the system\app folder to read/write, rename the UniMessagebin.apk to UniMessagebin.apk.bak, then rename UniMessagebin.odex to UniMessagebin.odex.bak. Copy your mms.apk file to the system\app folder and rename it to UniMessagebin.apk then set permission on it to -rw-r--r--. Then set you system\app folder permissions back to rwxr-xr-x.
You should NOT need to reboot at this point. If the apk is valid and will work the the current system framework, you should see it show up in your app drawer. I was able to get the AOSP 4.1.2 mms.apk to run ok on my phone, but MMS messages weren't working (apparently a known issue with 4.1.2 AOSP). If the apk force closes or doesn't show up as valid, go and delete it from your system\app folder and rename the other two files back to their original names before you attempt to reboot.
Good luck!
i actually found one that worked but didnt have the popup like i had on my original og and the stock one on pro has it...plus the notifications didnt work at all...only reason i knew i had msgs waiting was cuz i happened to open the app...thankfully gf knows wat a geek i am and believed me when i told her haha. back to hunting i guess...thanks for all the help
